00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily, 16th March 2016 titled Come to their senses. Come to their senses. This verse is taken from the word of God.
00:14 Second Timothy 2:26. Second Timothy 2:26. I’m reading from the Amplified.
00:20 And that they may come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. Read again, second Timothy 2:26, amplified. And that they may come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
00:42 Brothers and sisters, this respectable, you have to correct people, but correct people with understanding and try and make them understand. Now, if you get fed up with them, you cannot make them understand that when you’re ministering, getting fed up with people, no, you may get, oh, sin, sin. You may say, talk about this sin and all people may not like it, but you have to talk about sin because that’s what gives the foothold and that’s what’s causing damage to human beings.
01:10 That’s why they become captives. Now here the Bible clearly says that people who have been taken captive by the devil and to do whose will? His will. The devil has taken captive of people and.
01:24 And people are doing his will. Why he forcing them to do his will? Many do not realize that. I didn’t realize that I was taken captive.
01:32 I was a terrible captive and I was doing the devil’s will. Of course I didn’t know. And obviously.
01:38 And even when finally I only knew when I came to the Lord, the Lord arrested me and took control of me, saved me. And then he began to open my eyes of understanding to see how this thing is working. That’s a spiritual world.
01:54 So you are supposed to correct people, but in a manner that they can understand, that they can understand if they cannot even try to tell them they can’t understand. That’s why there are times I will send a particular soul I am ministering to some other pastor or some other servant or some other disciple. Reason being, if they’re not getting me, they’re not understanding the way I’m telling it.
02:15 Better send them somebody else and they will be able to explain and hopefully they can come to their senses. Jesus Christ, Word is saying now people have to come to their senses because they are not in their senses, they are not with their senses, they are outside their senses. So they must be corrected in a manner that they can understand so that they come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, having been held Captive by him to do his will.
02:44 Can you imagine people who continue. Who are these People who have come to the senses, have to come to their senses. Those who continue sinning, those who are captives.
02:54 That is why first of all, Jesus came to set the captive free. Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. Luke 4:18.
03:02 Luke 4:18. I’m reading from the Catholic edition. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor, the poor, poor, brokenhearted, poor in spirit.
03:15 Contrite spirit. He sent me to proclaim relief to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind and let the oppressed go free. Sight to the blind, spiritual blind, of course.
03:27 Physically also healed the poor. Jesus was not going around making the physically poor, the materially poor, rich. Do you ever hear Jesus going around in the Gospels making the materially poor people rich? He gave them food.
03:42 He gave them that when their needs were being met, when they came to hear his ministry and they have no food. He will make miracles and make many baskets of bread from just one loaf or couple of loaves. Now that’s all providing for the poor when they need it.
04:00 But he was not nowhere he will be telling them that I am going to provide them materially rich. Then you succumb from work, from following Christ, stopping the devil from stealing from you. And then you will not your.
04:16 Your poverty will step by step go. As you begin to follow Christ and begin to do the will of Christ, begin to obey the commandments. Laziness Spirit out, hard working spirit come.
04:28 And living a simple life. Living a simple life, not lusting after the things of the world and all that. So many things.
04:35 Being good stewards of money. Whatever money given is surrendering to Christ and getting. Being good stewards.
04:43 Doing what with the money, what he tells you to do, not wasting it. And when this happens, step by step, people come out of poverty and all that. Because the Spirit of God will lead you out of that.
04:54 It is not a question of come to Jesus Christ and then set free and become rich. No, all your needs be settled. He says, seek ye the kingdom of God and righteousness first and all your needs will be settled.
05:08 Do not worry about food and clothing and drinks. Because the Gentiles, unbelievers also worry about it daily. Don’t be like them.
05:15 You are cared for by Father God. You are cared, you are loved by Father God. So you please.
05:21 He saying, seek the kingdom of God, righteousness first. Many times he’ll say, assuredly I say to you, Apostle Paul Sometimes I beg, I plead with you. I beg you, do the right thing.
05:37 So do not give the devil a foothold. Do not let the devil steal and make you all this. Seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first.
05:44 And all these things that you need will be added. So what you need will be settled. Seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first.
05:44 And all these things will be added unto you. Therefore he came to such a spiritually brokenhearted poor in spirit said good news said that proclaim them free. Released from captivity.
06:04 Captivity from where? Captivity of the Satan. And from the sins. Captive of sins.
06:09 Recovery of sight to the blind. Spiritual blindness gone. Spiritual understanding comes understanding in the heart.
06:16 Eyes of our understanding opens. Eyes of our understanding. Eyes of our heart also opens.
06:22 We see things in the spirit oppressed to be set free. All that he came to do now as he was doing that as we begin to receive his word, we also be set free. We look at the things spiritually.
06:34 We know life came from the Spirit. And we led back the Spirit. Let there be earth.
06:39 That was what. The Spirit of God did it. The Spirit God Father spoke.
06:44 Father God spoke. And the spoken word was Jesus Christ. And the Spirit of God went and did it.
06:50 Everything was created by him, for him. And through him that is Jesus Christ. Now here we are dealing with.
06:57 People must come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil. Having been held captive by the devil to do his will. So anybody is sinning.
07:08 And sinning. And addiction. And drunkenness.
07:09 And drunkenness. And drinking. And smoking.
07:12 And smoking cannot control. You are a captive, brother. You are a captive of Satan.
07:13 You are a captive. So you have to escape. To escape.
07:22 There’s only one way. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And to escape.
07:23 Jesus Christ of Nazareth. First you must admit. First admit that we have sinned.
07:32 I was a captive. And to escape I have to finally come by default. He arranges such a manner.
07:38 Finally with nowhere to go. Only Jesus Christ. I pray it will come like that for you.
07:43 So that you know there’s only one way. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And you come to him and you accept that you have sinned.
07:50 You sin against mankind. You have sinned against husband, sinned against wife. Sin against people.
07:54 I sinned against so many. Sin against Jesus Christ, sin against God and then take responsibility for our sins. Not now.
08:03 Some people say the Devil made me do it. The devil made me do it. Brothers and sisters.
08:08 The devil can’t make you do unless you’ve allowed a foothold and allow you wanted your own desire. When we’re drawn by Our own desire. Temptation will come.
08:18 When temptation comes, sin comes. Sin, full blown death comes. So how does the devil take control when we allow our heart to go by its own desire? By his own desire.
08:29 Some translations will say by his own evil desire. That’s wrong translation. Any desire of our heart is sinful because we are treacherously wicked.
08:39 So we ask God to transform our heart to have a heart that his desire is there. Whatever he wants us to desire, that’s what we want in our heart. But to do that.
08:50 Jesus Christ’s word says, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. To be renewed in the spirit of your mind. When you’re renewed in the spirit of your mind means in the mind.
08:58 You decided that I’ll follow the ways of Christ. I’ll follow the words of Jesus Christ, the commandments of Jesus Christ, the teachings of Jesus Christ. I’ll follow God, I’ll follow Jesus Christ and I will understand, I will accept what is commandment.
09:13 That’s why he says people don’t understand his word because they don’t accept it. You have to accept His Word. That’s why the spiritual plane works opposite.
09:23 The world will teach us. Oh, you must understand and then you can do. You can do understand and then you can do what is you are required to do in the spiritual world.
09:33 It is first accept the word of Jesus Christ and then you will understand. And then you will understand in the spiritual world. So in the spiritual world it’s not a question of you understanding first in the spiritual world, accepting the words of Jesus Christ first and then understanding will come.
09:52 And Jesus Christ even said further that they do not want to come to me and they do not want to accept me because they want to be in their sin. They want to keep their sins the same thing. This happened to me.
10:05 I didn’t go to Jesus Christ first because I didn’t know what to do. I was drunkard, violent how to go because I was under the impression that I must go to Jesus Christ after having changed. If we go to Jesus Christ after having changed, we don’t need Jesus Christ.
10:20 We go to Jesus Christ with our sins and tell him now that I don’t want to sin, I don’t want all this. I want to be righteous in his name. I want him, I want to be good through him, by him, for him.
10:34 So only then the thing will come. We can’t change ourselves. We need Jesus Christ.
10:39 And how we keep meditating on the words of Jesus Christ, the word of God, and then the word of God will change us from Inside the Holy Spirit will bring to memory all things Jesus has spoken, all things we have heard from Jesus and will change from day to day. Now here what it means to be trapped of the devil and do his will. Here in John 8:34, Jesus answered.
11:00 I assure you and most solemnly say to you. Everyone who practices sin habitually is a slave of sin. Everyone who practicing sin every time.
11:10 Smoking, smoking, smoking. You are a slave of sin. You are a captive of sin.
11:14 If you are a captive of sin, you are a captive of the devil. This how the see. I hope you understand this because if you accept these words, you will understand.
11:22 Accept that we are sinning because we have become captives. Because we allowed devil to take control of us. Why we didn’t want to go to Jesus Christ and do the right thing.
11:33 We want to do the right thing now. So now you stop and pray in the name of Jesus Christ. I don’t want to sin anymore.
11:39 In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus, have mercy on my life. Lord Jesus. I want to change, Lord Jesus.
11:43 I want to obey you, Lord Jesus. I want to please you, Lord Jesus Christ. I want to be a slave unto righteousness.
11:43 I want to be a blessing to all. I want to love all. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to follow the words of Jesus Christ.
11:59 To follow the birth the words of Jesus Christ. To obey the words of Jesus Christ and not my way anymore. Lord, I surrender my way.
12:07 I want your way. Make me, Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, make me do the right thing. You pray something like that again and again and again.
12:16 I do not want to drink anymore. I hate drinking. I command my heart and mind and my body to reject all forms of liquor.
12:22 I reject it. In the name of Jesus Christ. I command my body to hate every taste of the liquor, every taste of booze.
12:30 I hate it in Jesus Christ. I command my body and my tongue to reject it. To hate the taste, even to hate the taste of cigarette.
12:37 In the name of Jesus Christ, command my tongue and my breath and all to hate, hate my lungs to reject the cigarette, my body to reject the cigarette. My hand not to hold a cigarette. In Jesus Christ’s name.
12:48 You begin to grade up prayer and begin to whack your body and your heart and mind and they will change. You have to do all this because you have to show you are the boss. You want to take control.
12:57 You want to take control. And then you begin to drink a lot of water when you’re feeling those things and you begin to take a Lot of sweets and maybe hacks or whatever to kill the taste. All the things you can do.
13:09 So, brothers and sisters, there’s something you can do. First of all, start paring out. First you must determine my purpose in your heart to do the right thing.
13:18 That is why in Acts 8:21, you have no part or share in this because your heart is not right before God. Now, earlier, you see, we said your heart is not right before God. So this is a case where one just thinks every money can solve.
13:36 Well, Simon, Simon, this brother was a sorcerer type. When he saw the miracles done by apostles, they decided. They decided that I can buy these miracles through money.
13:45 I can buy the power through money. So he offered money. So the apostles got fed up and rebooked him.
13:53 So he got panicked after that. He said, please pray that I don’t suffer all the consequences because he thinks money can do everything. These are not a lot of people.
14:00 Money can solve me. Money can get my health. Money can get my.
14:04 Oh, I can get a good wife of money, you know, Can I get a good wife of money? You get a good wife because of God. And the woman comes for money with you means you think she’s going to love you or your money. Some people say, I get money, I’ll get married.
14:16 I’ll be good wife. I’ll have good wife. What? Good wife or good husband? Oh, I’ll get a husband who has got money.
14:22 Why he will not love you. This is all false things become traps. Come to your senses.
14:28 God says that. Why then God rebukes this. The apostle Paul.
14:32 Apostles rebuke this step because your heart is not right before God. The motive and purpose in your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness of yours and pray to the Lord that if possible, this thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
14:47 Thought of your heart. Can you imagine? The thought of your heart may be forgiven you. That’s why, brothers, these are marvelous things.
14:54 They are fantastic works, gems. The thought of your heart may be forgiven you. So our thought in our heart will weaken.
15:02 I see that you are provoked by bitterness and bound by sin. So the apostle is telling the church, you are provoked by bitterness and bound by sin. Because you are so bitter now sin has bound you have become a captive to sin.
15:15 Because money, money, money. You think money can solve everything? Cannot. Money cannot solve everything.
15:22 Money can’t be a good relationship. Money can have people around you. But as soon as you no more money, you see whether they are around you, provoked by bitterness, those who really love you.
15:30 Will be there. Provoked by bitterness and bound by sin. He’s telling this crime.
15:35 The apostle is telling. You are provoked by bitterness. Bitterness.
15:38 That’s why sometimes they say gall of bitterness. God of bitterness. This is like bile.
15:43 You know it’s bitter. You know it’s terrible taste. And bound by sin.
15:47 Captive of sin. Brothers and sisters, today, come to your senses. Jesus Christ telling us to come to your senses.
15:55 Come to your senses and get out of the trap of the devil. And not to do his will anymore. To do the will of Jesus Christ.
16:02 And it’s easy to come. Then you must first of all accept that you’re wrong. Accept responsibility for your sins.
16:09 Go to Jesus Christ and say I’m wrong. In your heart you know you must do this from your heart. And then you begin to.
16:17 I command. I bind every wickedness of the devil. Get out of me.
16:21 In the name of Jesus Christ. I have power. In the name of Jesus Christ.
16:24 I use the name of Jesus that you begin to pray. Cast him out in the name of Jesus Christ. And you don’t sin anymore.
16:31 Because if you’re continuing these things, you better understand the devil is controlling you. When the devil controls you, he’ll make you do such stupid things and to harm yourself. So you giving one addiction, one kind of sin.
16:42 You’re keeping the devil. You are a slave of sin. You’re a slave of the devil.
16:46 He’s making you do his will. And his will will only bring to destruction. Come to your senses today, brothers and sisters.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 15th March 2016 Cursed for turning a blind eye. Cursed for turning a blind eye. Brothers and sisters, from now on I may repeat some of.
00:16 We got 291 today, including today 291 segments recorded. There are so many new people and they have not heard some of the old ones. So we left.
00:26 And some are very critical. Satan’s strategy, for instance. So I may have to let in the spirit of God, I may have to repeat.
00:33 And so when, repeat, when you hear it before, hear it again, believe. Because every time I myself, when I hear, then I see that God will remind me or rebuke me or convict me of so many things that will only make my life better. Because the word of God is life.
00:50 Separate bone from marrow, spirit from soul, Brothers and sisters, this is important and I’ve explained this before. Spirit from soul, bone from marrow. Can you imagine separating bone from marrow? It’s not easy.
01:04 So the word of God, so the soul. If we are in the soulish realm, that means we are part of this world, always carnal, worldly. Then the soul has caught our spirit.
01:16 Our spirit being is alive because we are in Christ. But our spirit being is so baby, like small, weak, weak because the soul is stronger. So we have to feed our spirit man, our spirit being, feed with the Word of God.
01:31 Word of God, feed and become stronger and stronger. And then it overtakes the heart and mind which is the soul. We must control the soul.
01:39 Our heart is treacherously wicked. It wants to take control. It has been controlling us.
01:43 It has been controlling me before I came to the Lord and after I come to the Lord Jesus Christ. It also tries to control me. So I must use the power of the Word of God, the power of Jesus Christ.
01:55 I must command the demons to go because the devil tempts us, tempts us by tempting our heart, by tempting our heart using our worldly knowledge. And the heart is drawn when the temptation comes, when I’m drawn by my heart’s own desire. And then sin comes and then death comes.
02:15 So we must get the spirit man strong enough. And for that the only way is the word of God, that is Jesus Christ. We first of all cast out, bind the wicked, unclean spirits of lust and worldly ways and stupidity and anger and all that.
02:31 Spirits of anger, spirit of frustration, spirit of fear, all that can cast out. Spirit of worry, spirit of distrusting God’s word and trusting man’s word. Cast out, bind and cast out in Jesus Christ’s name and then commanding our heart to be holy, commanding our mind to be renewed in the spirit of our mind.
02:50 Now we don’t want to continue that area because so many times I’ve spoken on that and that’s important. But just to keep us informed that we may repeat because there are so many new people and also a good reminder for us now, this power of Christ daily started sometime in May last year now, but we have enough material for us to change our life. Even we have 10% of what we have learned and practiced.
03:20 Oh, our life is different. My life is different. It’s better than what it was a year ago for sure.
03:26 My spiritual life, my strength in the spirit, my strength in walking in the spirit, walking in the righteousness. Identifying whenever attacks are coming can identify easier, brothers and sisters, because Jesus Christ, we keep on calling the name of Jesus Christ. The power is the name of Jesus.
03:44 The power of Christ. Brothers and sisters, today the title is cursed for turning a blind eye. Now cursed, you know, everybody will listen.
03:51 Oh, cursed, curse, yeah, curse means the one listen. But these are not thought now. These are when this curse for turning a blind eye.
04:00 This is fast talking about cursing me. No, the Bible says. And when the Bible says curse for doing something means it is giving us a warning.
04:09 When the word of God says a curse for something means giving us a warning so that we can avoid this. This is like a manual. You buy a car, especially buy a new car or new equipment, a new tv, a new whatever, a new computer, there are manuals.
04:25 So when Jesus Christ made man, he put a manual. The manual is the Bible. And the Bible will determine and tell you exactly what to do, what not to do.
04:35 And that is the Old Testament many times. But in the New Testament, of course, we have the New Testament of life, the ministry of life. In the New Testament we are empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ to be able to do it.
04:49 In the Old Testament there was no power. So that is why people began to fail. Then Jesus decided that I must come and die for our people, buy them back from captivity, get Christy Luth from captivity out by my own blood I will save him because he’s my son, he’s my child and he’s lost.
05:07 He’s even using four letter words on me. But I love him. So he came.
05:12 And then he makes me turn because he allows difficulties to come so that I turn to him by default. That’s why when you must turn to Jesus Christ, call on Jesus Christ and you keep calling the name of Jesus Christ. The demons will run away.
05:25 Our hearts and minds will begin to obey you. Begin to watch the Word of God and meditate on the Word of God. And the Word of God will change us.
05:33 Therefore thirst for dirt of blind eyes in Proverbs 28:27. Proverbs 28:27. I’m reading from the Catholic edition.
05:42 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing. That’s a positive thing for us. Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing.
05:50 So we better learn to give to the poor. But one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse. Or one who turns a blind eye will get many accursed blind eye.
06:02 From what blind eye? From the poor. When the poor is begging, he doesn’t expect to run all over the world and give. The poor especially so.
06:09 Give from what you have. We’ll come to that scriptures of giving a little later. But you don’t turn a blind eye to the poor.
06:16 But at the same time you must understand this. When he said poor means people beyond their control, things have become poorer. Now there are people who are within their control and they’re still not doing it means they’re not poor.
06:29 This is what you sow, you are reaping, for instance. But when people, once you sow, they are reaping and they want to turn. Then we have much of compassion.
06:38 Because they’ve caught the captives of the devil, captives of sin, for instance. A drug addict now become very poor, suffering and all that. Yes, you are giving food and all that.
06:49 But you have to tell him there’s a way to get out. He has to turn to Jesus Christ. Now if he doesn’t want to turn to Jesus Christ, what do you have to do? Though he’s not a poor poor, he’s a self inflicted.
07:03 He’s causing this in himself. He doesn’t want to turn, he wants his own way. Just like all of us before coming to Christ, we want our own way.
07:11 I wanted my own way. I didn’t even realize my own way. I thought that’s the only way.
07:15 Because there was nobody to turn to. Because I do not know Jesus Christ. I know of Jesus Christ at that time, but I do not know Jesus Christ.
07:23 So therefore turn a blind eye in. And he said, many a curse. One who turns the blind eyes from the poor.
07:29 Many a curse. That is why, brothers and sisters, please, please, please let us. When we see a poor, we have to now we are led by the spirit of God.
07:39 When the spirit of God leaves us, then we are gifts, are poor gives the Poor, especially food, clothing, shelter, so we can find a way. But if these people are not poor, they are self inflicted. It’s not beyond their control, but it’s in their control.
07:57 They keep on being addicted. They do not want to turn and do not want to go through what you call withdrawal. All in Christ they don’t want to do, they want their way.
08:07 They are not the poor, they are rebellious. They are rebellious. So it’s a consequence of their rebellion that they are poor and you don’t get sucked into it.
08:16 Otherwise they will start stealing from you. Drug addicts steal from you. You keep them in the house, they steal and all that.
08:22 Those who want to turn, you must help those who don’t want to turn. Nothing you can do. You are not God, I’m not God.
08:28 So we be wise as serpent, gentle as doves. Wise as serpent, gentle as doves. Now brothers, it says so let’s not get many accursed here.
08:38 Let’s not turn a blind eye to the poor. Okay? Now, giving is a necessary part of Christ’s kingdom. Giving is a necessary part of God’s kingdom.
08:47 For God. This is John 3:16. For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world.
08:53 The world. Here is the people. That’s why the English translation is like this.
08:58 God said, do not love the world or things in the world. Anyone having love of the world has no love of God in him. So now here he said, God dearly prized the world.
09:10 No, this world. This is why the translations are all our translations. This is how amplified they all will say the world.
09:17 God loved the world so much and gave his only Son. But this word here, from the Hebrew and the Greek text, you will find out that it’s about the people. God loves the people, the people he created.
09:28 He loved us so much, so deeply and dearly prized them. He even gave his one and only begotten Son. So that whoever believes and trusts in him as Savior, shall not perish, but have eternal life.
09:41 Whoever believes and trust in him as Savior. That is why when a drug addict, we have to tell him this. That guy doesn’t want to follow, doesn’t want.
09:49 You have to wait until he wants. Nothing you can do now. Luke 6:38.
09:56 Give and it will be given to you. How to give, how much to give? Give and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, and be put into your bosom, for which, with the same measure that you use, it will measure back to you.
10:13 You measure very liberally and give more will come to you you measure miserly and give miserly amounts will come to you this simple. Doesn’t it make sense? Of course it makes sense and it’s God’s word. And it clearly says you’re liberal in giving liberally you will receive.
10:32 It will run over, shaken together more than that, more than the press down. I mean take a measure, measure it like a gan tongue. For those in Malaysia, that’s like a one liter can.
10:43 And then you know when cereals you buy those days, they’ll have a 1 liter can like press all and then and flowing over, shaken together, shaken over so no space there, tightly packed and running over and put onto your palm, put onto your chest, pouring over you. Therefore be liberal so how your heart won’t want Command your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ and a new way of thinking that is repentance. Repentance is change your way of thinking from the worldly selfish way to a liberal Christlike way.
11:13 Acts 20:35 I have shown you in every way by laboring like this that you must support the weak and remember the words of Lord Jesus that he said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Now brothers and sisters, so we labor, we labor, we work hard to care for those who cannot.
11:33 We must care for those who cannot. This is now normal. Those who cannot, now not, who do not want to obey Jesus Christ and became messed up, those really cannot.
11:42 Things have happened. They are poor, they are weak, they are troubled. We must help.
11:47 That is the command of Jesus Christ. Now in 2 Corinthians 9:6, remember this. He says, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly.
11:57 Who sows generously will also reap generously. It’s common sense. But we forget.
12:03 We don’t realize these are spiritual laws. 2nd Corinthians 9:7 Let each one give thoughtfully and with purpose. That way when you give, it must give thoughtfully and with a purpose.
12:14 That means you are asking Jesus. Now you are a follower of Jesus. You are asking, how do I give, Lord? What do I give? Why am I giving Lord? Then he will remind you, you give because my words are this.
12:25 Then you will know in the spirit, these people are trying to abuse you. They’re just trying to get more by pretending to be having nothing and trying to abuse you. Or are they actually poor? Are they really in need? This will be discerning.
12:37 He gave us a sound mind. Use a sound mind. Be wise as serpent, gentle as doves, wise.
12:43 The serpent means Be thinking like that. The world is thinking because the worldly people coming and abusing you means you better think as a world how they’re thinking. But be gentle as doves.
12:53 You don’t act, but you don’t even give when you know in your spirit. These are abusers, they’re just taking you for a ride. So give thoughtfully and a purpose.
13:02 Just as he has decided in his heart, one must give what you have decided in your heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver. You must be cheerful in your giving.
13:10 God loves a cheerful giver. And you delight in your one who delights. And God delights in the one whose heart is in his gift.
13:21 He’s willing to give, he’s happy to give. God wants a cheerful giver. You’re grudging and as if you’re forced to give.
13:28 God doesn’t accept the gift. You may give, but God doesn’t care about that you have given. Now, 2nd Corinthians 8:12.
13:35 For if the eagerness to give is there, it is acceptable. You are eager to give, so it’s acceptable according to which one has, not according to what he does not have. Now remember, it’s very important how much to give.
13:48 Give from what you have, not from what you don’t have. Therefore, in Tamil churches, they tell you to pledge. You know you don’t have to pledge.
13:55 Write a note and say, you give so much in two months. You give so much in one month, every month, so much. Don’t do that.
14:01 It’s sin. In fact, the Bible is very clear. Do not pledge what you don’t have.
14:05 They will say, give in faith. God will put it there. That is against Scripture.
14:10 Give in faith. You write what you want to give. Give in faith, and God will put it there in the bank account for you, and you give.
14:16 It’s a lie. People are suffering because of pleasures. Many can’t perform the pleasures and they are in sin.
14:22 Because pledge is a covenant, you know, with God. And you say, I’ll give to Jesus Christ so much they’ll tempt you. Pledge, pledge, pledge.
14:29 And God will bless you a hundredfold, a hundredfold, fifty fold, hundredfold. And then people in their need, in their need, they begin to write these pledges. And I’ve done this because they told me to do, and I did.
14:40 After that, we have to suffer to pay those things. Why? We want to just settle our pledge. Don’t pledge what you don’t have.
14:47 That’s sin. And don’t listen to the false teachings and false prophets. They’re trying to collect your money.
14:52 Brothers and sisters. Careful with it. They ask you to pledge.
14:54 You run away from these people now. Give from what you have and not from what you don’t have. Give from what you have and not from what you don’t have.
15:03 Understand that. Only give from what you have. This is very clear in 2nd Corinthians 8:12.
15:09 Show them this. 2nd Corinthians 8:12 and also search on the Internet. Do not pledge what you don’t have.
15:16 Pledging without having it. It’s wrong. Now, in whom to give? This is another question.
15:21 Who to give? Who to give is in the reply. In Luke 3:11, Jesus said, Whoever has two coats must share with the one. Anyone who has none.
15:30 If you got two coats, share with one who has none. Because cold people die of cold in the western countries. In cold countries, even in India, north part of India, in cold people die.
15:41 We are here. If you go through rain, cold people are suffering in the rain. Give for one.
15:45 Anyone who share what you have got. Two give one away for people who need. Whoever has food must do likewise.
15:51 We share with somebody who doesn’t have brothers and sisters. And then finally in Galatians 6:6, Galatians 6:6 is this give to the one who is taught. The one who is taught the word of God is to share all good things with his teacher.
16:07 This is another Commander. Supposing somebody teaching you the word of God and you are receiving the word of God, you are to share. You must share all good things with your teacher.
16:16 This is a command. You say the Catholic version. This amplified Catholic version will say, anyone who teaches you the word of God, you must share all good things with your teacher, including spiritual and material support for the teacher.
16:29 Remember this. These are Galatians 6:6. Be careful.
16:34 Learn this Galatians 6:6, Luke 3:11 whom to give and then second Corinthians 8:12 only give from what you have and not what you don’t have. Brothers and sisters today. Go on, revise this.
16:47 Get the email. Meditate on the Scriptures and be the kind of servant of God you must be. In Jesus name I pray.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 14 March 2016 Listen to God’s voice. Listen to God’s voice. Brothers and sisters.
00:12 When I was first arrested by Christ, thank Jesus Christ for His mercy. When I first came to the Lord and I felt peace, peace, peace, peace. I never knew could exist.
00:25 And for a long time there was only chaos in my soul. Anger, hatred, bitterness, violence, lies, deceit, oh, so many sins. But mercy of Jesus Christ and dying, ill health, all kinds of things.
00:44 And yet Jesus come unto me and I shall give you rest. I didn’t realize at the time that people were telling I heard God. I heard God.
00:55 After that, no. So I also want to hear God. I also want to hear God.
00:58 I’m sure you listening to this or listening to others saying they heard God, you also want to hear God. You want to hear Father God, because this is a necessary thing. But the reasons why you want to hear God may be different from people to people or person to person.
01:16 And that’s a very important thing. The intention, why you want to hear God and what you want to do when you hear God. These are critical issues.
01:24 For instance, so they will say, I heard God. God told me this, God told me that, and all that. I dare not open my mouth and tell that because I do not even know what hearing God is.
01:36 And how do we hear God? There are times people have genuinely, I could sense they are genuine when they said they actually heard God. An audible voice they said they heard. I believe them because they are sincere people now, but also there is a danger.
01:52 Later on I came to realize there is a danger. You can also hear the voice of Satan and think it’s the voice of God. Voice of Satan and think it’s the voice of God.
02:01 I’ll give you examples as we go along. But first, what is the voice of God? Now? I then recollected that when I was standing there, when the pastor said, tell me to tell the sinner’s prayers. And he led me through the sinner’s prayers.
02:18 That is, I’m a sinner and that I forgive all those who. Who have offended me or sinned against me. I didn’t say because in my heart I know I have not forgiven.
02:28 I am unable to forgive. There are people who are doing such great damage to me, they are trying to kill me off using magic of bomos or witchcraft and shamanism and evil spirits and all that. And so then I realized, hey.
02:45 So I said, I can’t say this prayer that I Have forgiven everybody. Then the pastor said, I do not know what. First you must say it.
02:52 That’s what everybody says. I said, that’s why I know in my heart I’m not forgiven my heart. I feel so much anger I can’t say it.
02:59 And now you’re telling me to tell this prayer to Jesus Christ. And obviously I can’t say it because I know now Jesus is the truth. And he knows.
03:09 He can see inside me. He can know what I’m doing. I don’t want to lie anymore.
03:14 And so he knows. So why am I telling lies to him? I don’t want. I’m afraid.
03:18 I need his help. I need him to settle me. I need him to heal me.
03:21 But so if I tell some lies, I don’t know whether I’ll be even Jesus. Respond. Then the pastor said, I don’t know what to do with you, brother.
03:30 You pray directly to Christ. So I’m standing there with my hands lifted, and of course I do not know what to say. Then I sensed it in my spirit, in something in my heart.
03:43 I sense it. Tell the truth. He is Jesus.
03:46 So I told Lord Jesus Christ I am a sinner. I agree I need your help. I need you to heal me.
03:55 But I also know that if I do not forgive, you cannot forgive me. I also know that. But I want to forgive.
04:03 But I am unable to forgive the anger and the bitterness. And of course, there was no fear of forgiving. Because the fear of forgiving is by forgive those people already sending demons on me.
04:14 They’ll send a million demons and finish me and my family off. So that is also a fear. So because of all that, I told her truth to Christ.
04:25 And then when I told that, my body started swaying from left to right, right to left, went on swaying to and fro. Then I felt my legs are being. My feet are being lifted from the ground.
04:38 Then I dropped my hands. My hands were raised up. I dropped my hands.
04:42 And then the pastor quickly said, raise your hands and worship the Lord. Bless the Lord. So I raised my hands.
04:47 When I raised my hands, my feet are. I can sense it being lifted from the ground. So I quickly put my hands back because I am frightened.
04:56 But later on, when I was witnessing to my children and my family and all my children, I would joke with them every time. You know, if I knew it was Jesus time and I really knew that this is good, I would have just floated around for a while or something. I would have floated around for a while.
05:11 Brothers and sisters, remember to always go to Jesus Christ. With the truth. The truth you don’t write seldom prayer, which is not even truthful.
05:21 He knows. He knows all. He knows everything.
05:24 And so does the devil. He doesn’t know everything, but he knows that you are lying. The devil knows you are lying.
05:30 And the devil will then claim possession over you, claim a right over you, because you are a liar. If I’m lying, the devil will claim possession of right over me because I’m lying. And all liars belong to the devil.
05:43 Jesus says so all liars, all sinners belong to the devil. So we don’t want to do this. So now do not lie even in prayer.
05:53 Do not simply say as you wish, tell the truth. If you’re unable to do, tell Jesus Christ I’m unable to do, ask for mercy. And he’s a merciful, loving God.
06:04 He’s a husband of your soul. He will do something for you. He will not forsake you because you told the truth.
06:10 When you begin to tell the truth, Lord, this is what I am. I’m unable to do this. I know your law says this, your command says this, but I’m able to do, make me do Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ’s name, and you will begin to see everything being done.
06:24 Now then I forgot about that. So when I. Then I’m casting out the evil spirit, you know, but same time casting out, even free from people. But same time people say I heard this, I am very confused whether I actually hear God or not.
06:38 But then I started searching, researching that time, all, you know, there was no Internet really. So I go to buy book after book, hearing God, listening, prayer and all that. Finally one thing dawned on me.
06:51 There is an impression in your soul, in your heart. A small still voice. The Bible will say small still voice is a voice that’s not dynamic.
07:01 Now what you’re hearing from me is a dynamic voice. It’s moving from word to word I’m speaking. There will be impression.
07:08 It’s not moving. It’s an impression on your heart, something that you must do, something you shouldn’t do. Now when you begin to get the impression, obey, obey.
07:19 But now later on I came to ministering. There’s one woman telling me that she must divorce her husband because God told her so and husband was not involved with another in adultery or something. He was not involved in all that.
07:35 So she simply said, no, I must divorce. God said. So I talked to him, I heard God.
07:42 Can you imagine now what happens so when you’re hearing God, Here, the title. Listen to God’s voice. When you’re hearing God.
07:51 How do we determine this? How do we know whether it’s God or our heart is talking Anytime our heart is talking to us. And then if you oh, I heard God, I heard God. If you become gung ho, you become prideful, you heard God, then what will happen? Then your heart will speak to you, the devil will speak to your heart, resonate with your heart.
08:11 And then the heart will frequency, have the same frequency, heart will begin to talk the same nonsense. And then you will begin to think God is speaking to you because you are prideful. Not wanting to examine yourself, not wanting to examine yourself against the word of God to whether the thoughts and the so called inner voice is from God or from Satan or your own heart.
08:33 This is exactly the problem with a lot of people. Let go of Eisenhower and then few years down the road their lives will be in a mess. Even in their own lives.
08:42 And they say, I heard God, I heard God. You’ll find them full of pride, pride, arrogance and so lost, so confused. And then they’re running from place to place looking for signs and wonders.
08:55 Every time somebody causes a rally or some campaign coming, they will run there, they’ll run to this another preacher. Another preacher. That’s what the Bible says, says heaping upon themselves spiritual teachers after teachers for itching years.
09:10 Their years are itching. So they heaping to themselves, loading upon themselves teacher upon teacher to be able to get what they feel good. So the teacher teaches you something that is correcting you, rebuking you.
09:26 You won’t like the teacher. But if the teacher is teaching you something you like, you feel. So they go from place to place looking for signs and wonders.
09:33 Jesus already said there are no more signs and wonders for you. Don’t look for signs, there are no more signs for you there only the sign of Jonah. That is three days in the belly of a whale and he comes out suddenly.
09:45 Jesus goes down, dies. Three days in hell comes out. That’s all the sign.
09:49 He said no more signs, you wicked generation. Wicked generation. Adultless generation.
09:58 Why adultless generation is instead of being married to Christ, our soul is married to Christ. We want our soul to be married to the world and to science and people teaching this way and that way. Look for the truth now.
10:12 One clear scripture always is this now. Matthew 11:15. Matthew 11:15.
10:19 I’m reading for amplified. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. And heed my words.
10:26 Heed my words. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. And heed my words means obey.
10:33 Do, do my words Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine forth, radiating the new life, like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Heed my words.
10:50 This heed my words is all over the place. But the righteous who are righteous, those who seek the will of God, it’s bracket there. Amplify the given a bracket.
10:58 Then the righteous, that is those who seek the will of God, will shine forth. So you must seek the will of God, not your own will, what your heart wants. And when you want your own will, what your heart wants.
11:11 The devil will catch you, because he will tempt you, because your heart is now our hearts are treacherously wicked, and it wants what it wants now. So how do we now determine for a new Christian? How do you determine whether you are hearing God or some hearing your heart or hearing some demons or whatever familiar spirits will be speaking to you also? John 14:26. John 14:26.
11:38 I am reading from the King James Version. But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Now read this very carefully.
11:56 Meditate upon this. This is a great and important key to hearing God, to knowing that you are not misled and gone into destruction. And this the truth.
12:07 But the comforter, which is the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? He is the comforter also. He got many names.
12:13 The spirit of truth. Dear comforted comforters from the Father, whom the Father will send in my name. He shall teach you all things.
12:23 Who will teach you all things? The Holy Spirit. And bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Simply put, the Holy Spirit will bring all things to memory what I have spoken unto you.
12:38 Who has spoken unto us? Jesus Christ. Because in the book of John, Jesus Christ is saying, the Holy Spirit, who is a comforter, he will teach you all things and bring all things to memory whatsoever I have said unto you, whatsoever I have spoken unto you. So now this is a very important key.
12:56 So what will the Holy Spirit bring to memory? All things that Jesus Christ has spoken unto us. What is spoken unto us? We are remembering the 50 Commandments, isn’t it? The commandments of Jesus Christ. So when you hear a still voice, you got an impression that God is telling you something.
13:15 You must measure it against the word of God. Because the word of God is Jesus Christ. And whatever Jesus Christ has spoken, whatever you are hearing, they must be in line.
13:27 They must be in line. They must tally Whatever you’re feeling, as God is saying to you, if it’s not in line with the word of God, you are hearing from the devil and you are hearing from your own heart, your own wicked heart, you will not follow. You will not follow.
13:43 Because Jesus Christ said, my sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they know me. The sheep know his voice.
13:53 The sheep hear my voice. They know my voice. They know his voice.
13:59 So the commandments. If you do not know the commandments of Christ, will you really know his voice? No. That is why it is important that you begin to learn the commandments of Jesus every day listening to it and meditate on these things.
14:14 There are now 290 recordings, so many. And every recording that the Scriptures are quoted to prove what I am telling is from Jesus Christ. I’m not telling my own thing.
14:27 Now, whatever examples I’ve given you, you take it or don’t take it. That’s not important. But whatever Scripture I giving you, please take it, memorize it, meditate upon it, examine your life against it.
14:40 Brothers and sisters, this is critical. Now I’m going to read the same verse, John 14:26, from the Amplified. But the helper, trumpeter, advocate, intercessor, counselor, strengthener and standby.
14:55 That’s how the Holy Spirit was defined, by various words that came from Greek and Hebrews. And the Amplified taken it and explained so many things because there is no one word in Hebrew and Greek. As I told you, the Asian languages have several meanings, very shades of meaning, very important.
15:17 Comforter, advocate. Advocate means he advocates for you, he defends you, intercessor, intercedes for you, counselor, counsels you, strengthen and strengthens you. And he stands by to do for you whatever Jesus once done.
15:31 That is for the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name in my place, to represent me and act on my behalf. Act on whose behalf? Jesus behalf. He will teach you all things and will bring you to remember everything that I’ve told you.
15:44 You need to know the Word of God, brothers and sisters. You need to meditate on the Word of God, which Jesus Christ. So until you begin to study the Word of God, until when you’re listening to the morning segments, you just listen, like, not bothered.
15:59 Like, you know, okay, I let it go. You know, I have to listen. You know, I’m doing my chores for Christ.
16:04 I am doing no onward or something. I take important. I must rush for this.
16:08 I must quickly make breakfast. Yes, you do all that while you’re listening. By the end two, three times, you can listen to the word of God.
16:15 At least take the emails and read the scriptures and mark it in your Bible. And read the Bible scriptures every day. Or maybe at the back of the Bible, you’re reading this title, these are the scriptures.
16:27 And you’re meditating on the scriptures. Because as you begin to meditate on the scriptures, God will speak to you through the scriptures. Through the scriptures, he speaks to you.
16:37 And you will listen to God’s voice. The impression. You will know this is wrong, this is right.
16:43 Don’t do this. Go this way. And your life will become beautiful.
16:47 Your life will become good. Your life will have peace. Under no circumstances.
16:52 Everything going wrong. So you will be held still. And you know your God is with you.
16:56 You know Jesus Christ is with you. In Jesus name, I pray today for you. Amen.
17:01 That you’ll follow Jesus Christ and his word. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily, 13 March 2016, a Sunday titled Feed my sheep and teach Christians to obey. Feed my sheep and teach Christians to Obey. Brothers and sisters, Feed my sheep is in John 21:15 16.
00:20 Again, let’s understand this. Let’s examine ourselves daily. Yesterday we dealt with watch and pray, watch and pray.
00:28 Watch and pray that we do not fall into temptation. Do not go into temptation. Therefore, the watch and pray is critical.
00:33 Examine. Examine what your heart is desiring, whether it is in line with the word of God. This is where our problem is.
00:40 Of course, we have an enemy. Your enemy, the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour or swallow. That is Jesus Christ himself told us now, the husband of our child telling us, watch your enemy.
00:57 Be vigilant. Do not give him a foothold. Your enemy is Satan.
01:01 Now, this is hidden. Now, therefore, now we must watch that. Because without that, the devil will come and tempt our heart.
01:10 Our heart already is wicked and it will be drawn by the heart desire. The devil will come. Temptation.
01:16 Now, temptation can’t come until we are drawn by our own heart desire. Our heart desire must now be changed by renewing in the spirit of our minds, by renewing the spirit of minds with the word of God so that our heart will change in line with God’s heart, what God wants us to want and feel. Brothers, that’s a trick.
01:38 That’s the issue. Renewing the spirit of our mind by looking at the word of God and meditating on the word of God. And then the heart will change.
01:46 And then that is repentance. Repentance is having a new way of thinking, the way that Jesus wants us to think, the way Father God wants us to think. And that has to be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
01:57 Jesus says. And now when we do that, and let’s do that, we have to examine ourselves and watch the word of God. Watch the word of God now.
02:06 Next thing. Now, today we’re dealing with feed my sheep. He says, these are part of the fifty commandments of Jesus Christ.
02:13 We may or may not complete all, but we have done a lot. And even if this, we just do some of these, our hearts will change, our minds will change, our heart will. We will become the children of God and we’ll be pleasing to Jesus Christ.
02:26 We will be pleasing and the Holy Spirit will take over and bring you to glory. To glory. It is not a question of doing some of the religious activities.
02:31 It is not going to settle you you have to get into the spirit, because we are spirit being. Father, God is spirit and worship him in spirit and in truth. The devil is a spirit being.
02:46 Now we have to battle in the spirit. Brothers and sisters, in John 21:15. So when they had finished breakfast, now Jesus remember, Jesus made breakfast for them.
02:59 Can you imagine? Jesus said to Simon, Simon, son of John or son of John. They may say, son of John, do you love me more than these others do? With total commitment and devotion. They also love.
03:17 Then he saying, the others love me also. But do you love me more than this? That is what Jesus asking Peter, Simon. At the time, his name was Simon, Simon Peter, do you love me more than this? More than all these others who love me? He said, yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
03:38 With a deep personal affection. As for a close friend, that’s the bracket. The explanation in amplified.
03:44 Jesus said to him, feed my sheep. So I’ll read this without the explanation. Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than this? Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
03:56 Now he’s humble now. He didn’t say, I love you more than this. He didn’t say, I love you more than the others.
04:02 He said, lord, you know that I love you. He’s humble already. Why? Remember before the cock crows thrice, before the cock crows, he denied him three times.
04:11 And that time he came out of pride. Earlier he said, no, I will not deny you. And this and that.
04:17 Jesus said, look here, before the cockroach, you will deny me three times. And it happened. And it broke him.
04:21 It broke Peter. When he denied him three times, Jesus looked at him. And he looked at Jesus at that time, and it broke him.
04:31 It broke his heart. And then he became humble. That’s why when Jesus said, do you love me more than this? His answer, yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
04:40 His answer didn’t say, I love you more than this. Yes, Lord, I love you more than this. No, he’s humble.
04:45 Now. Humbleness is a great issue. We must be humble in our thinking, humble way.
04:51 Humbleness of the mind. We have to become humble in the mind. First, the mind has to make our minds humble.
04:58 Our thinking has to be humble. Otherwise it’s false humility. Hello, brother.
05:03 Good morning, brother. How are you, brother? Not bothering anything. It’s just cliches.
05:08 It’s just a list of words coming out, you know, oh, God will bless you. Jesus bless you, brother. Jesus bless you, sister.
05:16 All these cliches. It has to start with the humbleness of the mind. It has to start in the mind.
05:23 Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. That is why there are books written on the battlefields in the mind. Because the devil goes for the mind first.
05:31 When the devil can catch your way of thinking. He caught you. How do I know this? It is of course, God says, be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
05:39 That’s how you know that. But I now know in the experience, because it happened to me before. My mind was caught by the world and the thinking and the science and everything else, and the physics and the chemistry and the nuclear science or whatever.
05:51 And the thinking. Thinking more than others. What a pride.
05:56 Pride, Pride. That was what My mind was full of it. When my mind was full of it, my heart also will become pride.
06:03 You won’t know it. So the humbleness in the mind is critical. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
06:10 That’s why there is a fantastic statement here. Jesus asked him, simon, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than this? He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. What a thing.
06:22 The man, the apostle now has become humble. He is still a disciple there. Has become humble.
06:30 He was different before. While he was a disciple, he also had a lot of pride. But now he is humbled.
06:38 The humbleness comes when we fell into sin and we returned. When we fall into sin and run away, humbleness won’t come. That’s pride.
06:47 When you run away. When you fall into sin and you don’t want to go to Jesus, you just run away. Oh, I don’t know.
06:52 And then deny and don’t know. Deny. By denying that you don’t sin, you’re actually denying Christ.
06:58 Why? Jesus said, all have fallen short of the glory of sin. Then all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And now when you sin.
07:05 No, no, I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m okay.
07:07 What? You’re denying Christ because Christ says something else. You say something else, then you’re denying Christ. So if you do something and say something and think something, particularly think something opposite to the word of God.
07:21 You are denying Christ because Christ says A, you say, no, it is minus A or B or something else. You are denying Christ because you are denying what he said. You are denying Christ.
07:33 Brothers and sisters, when you fall into sin, the conviction comes. Run to Christ. Run to Jesus.
07:40 Sorry, Lord Jesus. Humble yourself and admit. Confess your sin.
07:46 There are false teachers teaching you to confess. Once when you came to Jesus Christ. Thereafter, nothing to confess anymore.
07:53 He is forgiven, giving you automatically washing you of all sin. Look, there Are sins we may not know that obviously he shows mercy and grace. But the sins that we know, we better confess.
08:06 Because even says confess your sins to one another. Confessing is not going to one confession and saying once a week or once a Sunday or once a month, or once on Christmas or once it’s thereabouts, Easter or thereabouts. That’s not it.
08:21 It’s an ongoing thing. Because you’re washing. We are washing the dirt out of us on a regular basis.
08:28 Confessing. He didn’t say, go to one man, confess yourselves sins to one another, to one another, not to a particular chap, not to a particular pastor or priest or whatever. Confessing to one another openly.
08:42 Why that is humbleness. Jesus wants us to be humble. Without humbleness in the mind, without humbleness in the heart, we cannot be really redeemed.
08:53 Because humbleness is fundamental in following Christ. Humbleness of the mind. Do you love me more than thee, son of Jonah Simon? Yes, Lord.
09:05 You know that I love you. Humble, humble. Always check here.
09:11 This is a good check. Whatever you speak, whatever you say, is it humble? Now the words may be humble. Are you humble in the heart? Are you humble in your thinking? You can say a lot of good Christian like words, but your mind may be thinking you’re better than the others.
09:29 That is why there’s another word of God which says, think yourself. Think others more highly than yourself. Think others more highly themselves.
09:39 I had to use that because before I came to the Lord I used to think of myself very highly. Very highly. And particularly when people cannot understand the things I could understand.
09:50 Finish. In fact I begin to think the stupid evil, all that has cost me so much of damage. Pride.
09:58 Pride is from Satan. So I was full of it. Full of pride in the mind.
10:03 First my mind was full of pride. And then after my heart will think, these people do not know what I am talking about. This is a complicated thing.
10:10 They don’t want to understand, but they want to talk as if they understand. They are stupid people. They don’t want to understand one thing, want to talk as if they understand.
10:18 What rubbish is that? Now my heart will rise up. That was what I was before Christ. Then when I came to God Almighty, when he arrested me, then I could see my mind was full of pride.
10:30 First of all, my mind was full of pride against Christ. My mind was full of pride, was not humble at all, was full of pride against Christ. How was I against Christ? Against his word, against his word.
10:46 For instance, his word will say, those who want to be the highest have to be the lowest first. Those who want to be the highest in heaven must be the lowest first. And even here, if you humble yourself, Jesus will raise you up here and you will have a great life.
11:02 But if you put yourself in pride and argument, quarrel, everything will come and you will not know the things of Christ. You will not know the spiritual things, because it will. Your pride is killing you.
11:14 My pride was killing me. And the pride is a big doorway. Jesus Christ says, do not give the devil a foothold.
11:22 But pride is a big opening, big opening. The avala comes in, he comes in and waxes. Because why pride is a big opening.
11:32 Pride is a really big opening for Satan to come. Because the first sin in all of eternity was pride. Satan had pride first he was Lucifer, Lucifer had pride.
11:46 And then when he was cast out, he had to become turned to Satan. Because separated from God Almighty, separated from the source of life. So Satan had pride.
11:59 Pride, pride. That’s what killing all of us. Better understand this.
12:04 The whole world that is suffering is full of pride. They may put on fault. There are a lot of Christians, I see this very soft, gentle like.
12:13 But inside their mind and heart full of pride. When they are dealing with the poor. When they are dealing with the poor, what you call patronize them, for instance, they will be poor in the church and they patronize the poor.
12:29 How are you, brother? How are you, sister? But they patronizing, they don’t feel anything there. They think, okay, Jesus said, take care of the poor, so I am blessed. I have blessed, so I will take care of the poor.
12:39 That’s a prideful heart. You humble yourself and think more highly of the fellow in front of you who is poor. Humble yourself, think more highly of him.
12:49 Ah, that can you do, you can do in the name of Jesus Christ. I had to learn to do that. When people come to me, people cannot understand anything.
12:59 But they are suffering. God Almighty. Because I told him, lord, I want your mind.
13:03 I don’t want my mind anymore. That was a covenant. Now, when I first came, within one, two weeks, a few weeks already I decided this.
13:10 I already realized it’s my mind who’ve done all this nonsense. And my mind, it’s my mind, not me. My mind.
13:17 Spirit being is child of God. And told Jesus, I don’t have mind. Lord, Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, make my mind like mind of Christ.
13:28 Not my old mind anymore, not my carnal mind, not a fallen nature mind. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you, Holy Spirit, make it that kind of prayer. You can say you can say, but remember when you say it, the mind of Christ will come.
13:41 When the mind of Christ comes, then you have to obey. Next step is, oh, I got the mind of Christ. What do you do with the mind of Christ? Obey, obey, obey, obey.
13:51 That is why the next segment here is teach Christians to obey, brothers and sisters, the mind. So when you’re looking at people, think more highly of them. There are people who really don’t know any scripture or harm.
14:04 Ridiculous scripture misunderstanding come. They’ll come from Jesus. False teachings and then put on a prideful show here and talk to others as if they know in front of me.
14:13 They’ll keep quiet. When they go into groups to discuss. Oh, they take control.
14:18 They can’t even cast out evil spirits. And the pride will be rising out of them. I’ve seen so many.
14:24 The pride will be coming out of them, oozing out of them. Brothers and sisters. Pride in the mind.
14:30 Pride of the mind. Humble the mind in Jesus Christ’s name. You can do it.
14:30 Pride of the heart. Patronizing people. Hello, how are you, brother? All patronize truth.
14:40 You worship and love Jesus Christ. In truth. You love one another.
14:45 In truth. From a pure, sincere love. From a pure heart.
14:49 Jesus says, love everyone with a sincere heart. From a sincere love. From a pure heart.
14:56 Sincere love from a pure heart. Sincere love from a pure heart. The love has to be sincere.
15:01 Love has to be sincere. Brothers and sisters, this is very important. Check yourself today.
15:06 Check yourself anytime. Are you a child of God? How is your mind? Is your mind prideful? Is your mind prideful? Or is your mind humble? Or are you able to recognize? Hey, I’m thinking proudly. I’m thinking opposite to the word of Jesus Christ.
15:20 I’m opposite to the word of God. My mind is thinking proudly. Am I? Am I? Oh, yes, yes.
15:28 Sorry, Lord. Sorry, Lord. Merciful.
15:30 It says, spirit of pride, get out of the name of Jesus Christ. Get out of me. Spirit of pride.
15:34 Get out and not to return. I receive humbleness. I receive a spirit of humbleness.
15:39 Make me humble, Lord Jesus Christ, make me humble. I want to be yours. I want to please you.
15:41 I want to not grieve you anymore. Make me humble of mind. Make me humble of heart.
15:48 You begin to pray like that, brothers and sisters, that is why. Matthew 28:20, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, regardless of circumstance and on every occasion, even to the end of the age, remaining with you perpetually teaching them to obey everything.
16:07 That’s a command for each of the disciples. To teach others. Feed my sheep means feed my sheep.
16:13 God said, if you love me, feed my sheep. Now we have to teach others what we know. Teach others to obey everything.
16:19 There are false teachings. They say, no, no, no. If you forgot to obey or didn’t obey, it’s okay.
16:23 He will overlook that because he loves you. He died for you. He died for you.
16:27 Even though you do anything, ya Allah, when you come to him, he accepts you because you didn’t know Him. Now that you know him, now you want to follow him. If you really want to be a disciple, you want to be a Christian, obey everything he commanded you.
16:41 Willing to obey. Willing to obey everything. Once you’re willing to obey everything step by step, he will make it obey.
16:47 He will make you obey in Jesus name. I know this. You can do this.
16:51 Brothers, sisters. You have to do this to please Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, command every heart to obey Jesus.
17:00 And that is what loving Jesus is. Loving Jesus is obeying his commandments. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 12 March 2016 A Saturday. Watch and pray and feed my sheep. These are Jesus words.
00:12 We are dealing with the commandments of Jesus Christ. Watch and pray and feed my sheep. Brothers and sisters, the command is in Matthew 26:41.
00:22 Matthew 26:41. I am reading from Amplified. Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation.
00:32 The Spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
00:43 Brothers and sisters, today let’s remember this. There are a lot of churches, lot of people will be telling you to pray for this and pray for that. In fact, we will be sitting in Asia.
00:54 They say, pray for America. Then they will say, pray for Jerusalem so that we are blessed. So people praying, the reason they are praying for Jerusalem, the peace of Jerusalem, is so that they be blessed.
01:05 Because that’s an obscure scripture they’ve taken and they made it out of context. So everybody thinks they can just pray for Jerusalem and be blessed. Brothers and sisters, blessing comes from Christ.
01:19 Christ, it is finished. He said on the cross 2,000 years ago, it is finished. It’s finished.
01:26 By his birth, he suffered, he died, he went into hell, he rose again. Now his faith is what we need. We need to believe in his faith.
01:35 We need to believe in Jesus Christ. And the belief, according to your belief, will be done unto you. Whatsoever you believe without doubting, ask in prayer according to the will of God, will be done unto you.
01:50 Brothers and sisters, if it’s a simple matter of just praying for Jerusalem, we will be blessed. That’s really out of context. Why then you can sin and sin and sin and just pray for Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed.
02:02 And that is why the people are still in a mess. People’s lives are total mess. Many are mess.
02:08 They’re suffering. No peace. No peace and no peace in the house.
02:13 No peace in their soul that things are breaking up. Oh, because I’m doing This thing for 20 years, I see all kinds of troubles. And then when I get to the bottom of it, it will be that they have misunderstood.
02:27 They think they don’t have to examine themselves, they don’t have to deny themselves, pick up the cross. They don’t have to deny the flesh nothing. But they just have to do some of the religious activities that the false teaching, false teachers have told them.
02:43 And their hearts also like it. Why their hearts like it? Because they do not want to address our sin Jesus said, they do not want to come to me because they want to keep their sin. So those who do not want to go to Jesus Christ.
02:56 Now, Jesus Christ means what? Deny yourself and pick up the cross. If you love me, keep my commandments. Now that has not been talked about in many, many places.
03:08 If ritualistic Christianity is thought about all, oh, come and do this, come and do that. Do all activity traditions of men. But the first thing Jesus said is what the last thing he said before he left earth is preach the gospel.
03:25 That those who believe these signs will follow. They will cast out evil spirits in my name. Now, that’s why you have to start casting out evil spirits in Jesus Christ’s name.
03:36 Why do we cast out? Because we have become captives of these evil spirits, captives of demons. Oh, they’re not going to put on a show for you. They’re not going to put oha and all that, you know, demonized thing.
03:49 It’s not going to be like that. It will be a simple captivity in. Captivity in sin, captivity in some addiction.
03:55 You cannot let go of cigarettes. You cannot let go of sexual immorality. You cannot let go of lying.
03:55 You cannot let go of of jealousy. You cannot let go of envy. You cannot let go of anger.
04:06 It’s like that. So when you cannot let go of anything of this that is harming you, which is not of Christ, if you cannot let go of anything that is not of Christ, is against Christ, then you are a captive. Captive.
04:21 And that is why Jesus said, cast out evil spirits in my name. You have to start doing that first. This is the only way.
04:28 You are going to be set free by Jesus Christ by using his name, using his power, believing in his command to cast out, cast out the evil spirit of anger, cast out the evil spirit of jealousy, cast out the evil spirit of anxiousness or anxiety, cast out the evil spirit of worry. Now you cast out. Cast out.
04:49 That is praying. You’re praying, you’re casting out. You’re casting out.
04:53 That is why he said, watch and pray. Watch and pray. Did you say do ritualistically? In fact, he says, don’t do as the unbelievers do.
05:01 Repeating your prayer on and on and on. The same sentence being repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated 10 times, 100 times. Whatever he said, that is pointless, that you do not even know who they are praying to.
05:15 They just repeat and repeat and repeat. Here he says, watch and pray. Watch what? Watch.
05:22 Watch what, brother? Watch that we do not come into temptation. We do not come to temptation. There is some temptation coming to us.
05:30 How Are we tempted when we are drawn by our own heart desire? That’s how we are tempted. Remember temptation better understand this clearly. He has spelled out all this for us.
05:42 Temptation comes when we are drawn by our own heart desire. Then temptation comes. When temptation is full blown, sin comes.
05:49 And sin is full blown, death comes. Now, physically, you may die many years later. But in the meantime, you died in the spirit.
05:59 Spirit death. You know the spirit. Man is dead because they didn’t sin.
06:05 Then. You now have to be made alive in Christ. When you believe in Christ, the Spirit of God will come and use the blood of Jesus Christ and wash away your sins and your spirit man will become alive in Christ.
06:18 Now, actively watching and praying. Watch and pray. Watch and watch yourself.
06:25 Watch what? Watch Jerusalem. No, watch yourself. Watch yourself.
06:30 Jesus already said, my kingdom is not of this world. My kingdom is not of this world. So he is coming to establish a new kingdom.
06:39 So therefore he wants you to be settled with him. Seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness first and all his things will be added unto you. Seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness first.
06:55 Did he say, pray for Jerusalem? There’s one scripture saying, pray for Jerusalem. That you know that you are blessed. You know the peace of Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed.
07:05 But the point again is this. That is, remember this. He was saying this before he died and rose again.
07:14 He’s saying before he died and rose again. When he rose again, then he says this in Christ, there’s no Jew or Gentile, there’s no Jew or unbeliever. That is all one in one in Christ, you are Christians.
07:31 These things he spoke to the Jews when he was walking this earth. And it’s not gone on the cross yet. So now what people are doing to twist the thing.
07:42 Pray for peace of Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed. Pray for peace of Jerusalem and people start praying for the peace of Jerusalem, Why they want to be blessed. But the actual blessing, he already told you, seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first.
07:55 And all this will be added. All your needs will be settled. You are blessed.
08:00 You are blessed. All your needs will be settled. Now, the sign that you can check is this.
08:07 If you are praying for the peace of Jerusalem and you see your life and your conduct is still in a mess. In a mess, you may have money. That’s not the only blessing.
08:15 Blessing. Blessing means money, Money, money. Yeah, we need the money.
08:19 It’s incidental to our life. Oh, but don’t make it the main thing to our life. Because the Main thing of life is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
08:26 That’s the main thing. He is the main thing to our life. He is life.
08:30 I am the way, the truth and life. Money is not our life. It’s incidental to our life.
08:36 And Jesus said he will provide our needs and he does. I’ve seen this in not my case alone, other cases, other people, other souls ministering for this for so long. A lot of people who follow this righteousness, peace and joy seeking the kingdom of God.
08:51 They’ve been blessed. First, watching and praying that you may not come into temptation. So you recognize temptation watch means examine yourself watching.
09:01 That’s why the examining yourself is critical. You examine yourself. Is your heart being drawn to things that are not of Christ? Is your heart being drawn to the ways of the world? Is your heart being drawn to things that are not of God? Is your heart is being drawn to those things.
09:19 You immediately cut it in the name of Jesus Christ and command that spirit. Because there’s some demon communicating with your heart and drawing your heart. Our heart is treacherously wicked.
09:31 A demon is actively talking to your heart and drawing your heart. You better start dealing with the heart by renewing in the spirit of the mind. Now you begin to take the word of God.
09:42 Now watch the word of God. First you have watched yourself. You examine yourself.
09:46 Now you watch the word of God in the spirit. Read the word of God again and again. That’s related to your situation.
09:54 The temptation when you watch already, you know that particular temptation. Let’s say anger coming. Okay, then what? Anyone angry with a brother without a cause is a murderer.
10:04 So you begin to say, I don’t want to be a murderer in Jesus name heart. You shut up. Mind you shut up.
10:10 God’s word is this. If I’m angry with people without a cause, I’m a murderer, brother. Now if I’m angry, anger will harm me.
10:19 All kinds of cortisol will be produced by the adrenal glands and there will be a lot of damage. Inflammation taking place all over me. Why? This cortisol is a hormone that produces when you’re angry, when you’re upset, when you’re fear, when you’re confused, all that will happen.
10:36 So this cortisol. Oh, no, no. We need cortisol.
10:39 But then if we continue being angry, then begin to damage your body. Now all kinds of things are coming. Now, brothers and sisters, today you watch and pray.
10:47 You examine yourself. You watch whether you’re going into temptation or not. So some people call you to go somewhere.
10:54 Is it causing you temptation? Now One of the things I always see is people who are not rooted. They do not put Christ first. They want Christ.
11:04 They want Christ. They want to put Christ first. But when a situation comes, immediately the mind forgets about that.
11:11 They forget it is Jesus Christ who settles you. They forget that what they do immediately they begin to be drawn. Because they have to go with the people of the world to go and settle some things.
11:22 They are drawn there. They go in there because they are hoping that finally, before you know it, your faith becomes on the faith of man. You are putting your faith in man.
11:30 God said, do not put your faith in man. Now, why then the man says this, the man says that. And then you begin to follow here, this way, that way.
11:37 Because now you have forgotten that provided for you is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the only one died for you. Rose again now.
11:45 Now when you begin to now begin. Yeah. Jesus will use man to help you from time to time.
11:51 But do not put your faith in man. Be grateful to the man. But do not put your faith in man.
11:57 So the man said, no, no. Now I have to. You know I have to.
12:01 Suddenly I have to call you. Then what happens? I’ve seen this. Not one person, many people over the years.
12:06 Then they begin to think. Okay, I think I do not bother, but said, today I have to wait for this man’s call. If I go to church, I cannot attend to this man.
12:14 Suddenly he calls. Now faith is where. Faith is in the man.
12:18 Now automatically. Jesus Christ is far from you now. You have left him.
12:25 You’re left thinking about him. You’re left about faith in him. You left your trust in him, your life.
12:32 You look back and see how did you get life. You were in a mess then only your life came. You are in pain and Jesus settled you.
12:39 You have all kinds of health issues. Jesus settled you. Look at that.
12:43 Look, your family has no peace. That’s Jesus settled you. But suddenly, for one issue, step by step, the devil will draw you.
12:49 He’ll draw you somewhere. And you do not know. Never watch and pray.
12:53 Watch. Am I putting Jesus Christ first? If I do not put Jesus Christ first and I begin to put the faith in men. What is this? Suppose that service today and you begin to think.
13:04 No, no, I will wait for the call. If not, I may lose this thing. The man will call.
13:09 The man will call. Faith is where in the man. If you say, no, Lord, I trust you.
13:15 You’re the one who settles everything. I will go and settle your first. Put God first.
13:20 Put the things of God first. Put the things of Jesus Christ first, put the things of Jesus Christ first. So you watch and pray, and then you pray, commanding your heart and mind.
13:30 No, my trust will not be in men. My. My trust will be in Jesus Christ.
13:34 Then the devil cannot steal from you. The devil cannot steal from you. But if you are moved by this, and it happens because you are in the world.
13:42 Therefore Jesus told the disciples, you are in the world, but you are not of this world. You are in the world, but not of this world means two different things. You are in the world, we all are in the world.
13:52 But we are not born of this world. We are born of God. We are born of Jesus Christ.
13:57 Always put Jesus Christ first, brothers and sisters. Therefore, this issue, this issue of trusting Christ, slowly your heart will go, you know, develop. Yeah.
14:07 It is tempted to me also from time to time, and cut the thing in Jesus Christ’s name. But if you put Jesus all the time first, first, first, suddenly the Holy Spirit will tell you, no, don’t do this. Do the things of God first.
14:20 You go to service to serve, not to be served. To serve and not to be served. So when you go to service, you are thinking of others.
14:29 How do I serve them? What word will I talk to them? What can I tell the children? What I can tell the women? What can I share that happened in my life that can glorify Jesus Christ today? How do I break bread with my brothers and sisters? How do I have a meal with them today? This my family in Christ. I have to go. I have to go.
14:47 Oh, that time the heart would tell. Hey, you lose the thing. Man said he’ll call you.
14:51 Yeah, if he calls, then if you can go. Supposing, on the other hand, flood, can you go? Cannot flood. You stay at the house waiting for this call.
15:01 Waiting for this call. And the flood happens. Big traffic jam.
15:05 Can go, cannot go. What happens when you. Let’s say you have so much of pain in your knees and you cannot get up and walk? Can you go, cannot go.
15:13 Who’s going to settle you? Only Jesus Christ can settle you. That’s why. But then, if you do not put Jesus Christ first, and you put the things of God you do not do first.
15:23 And you put the things of man. That one they told you. And then you’re hanging on to this.
15:27 That’s exactly what the devil will come to steal. And now he has a right. He has a right.
15:33 I told you, even our money, if you surrender to Jesus Christ, the fellow cannot steal. But if I keep it to myself and decide how I do with my money as I wish. The devil can steal, but from Jesus Christ he can’t steal.
15:46 Now the Pharaoh will come and tempt you now. Now, the very thing you are now depending on, hoping on. Now you do not have it because he can steal from you.
15:56 Why you did not put the things of God first? You did not put the things of Jesus Christ first. Always put the things of Jesus Christ first. Now, I cannot force you.
16:09 I can only tell you how the spirit world works. How the spirit world working. How the devil tempts us.
16:13 How the devil takes our faith, slowly. Draws our heart. How our wicked heart very quickly goes in faith in man and not on God.
16:23 Our wicked heart quickly goes to the faith of man and not in God. Brothers and sisters, today remember this. Watch and pray.
16:29 Watch and pray. Watch that we do not fall into temptation. Body is weak.
16:34 The Bible says, command the body to stand down. Command the heart and mind to rise up in Jesus Christ and follow Jesus and the faith in Jesus. The spirit man is willing.
16:45 Yes. Watch and pray. Watch and pray.
16:48 Put the things of Jesus Christ always first. Always first. For your own safety.
