00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily. 11 March 2016. Render unto Caesar and await my return.
00:12 Await my return. Brothers and sisters, today the power of prayer. Daily there are two topics.
00:15 Render unto Caesar and the next topic. Await my return. We don’t know how much we can cover.
00:20 As the Lord leads always. Righteousness, peace and joy. Righteousness, peace and joy.
00:25 When I get up this morning, last night you should have examined yourself already. In fact, by now, those of you are sometime getting the power of Christ daily and listening and employing it, engaging it, using the word of God, turning to Christ in everything you will already know. The Holy Spirit will convict you when you are doing some sin or going towards sin, because the Holy Spirit has sealed you for the day of salvation.
00:51 That is what the Bible says. So long as we want to follow Jesus, he is merciful. He loves you.
00:59 Now, that is still our want or not. It’s our choice. Brothers and sisters, we have examined ourselves and let’s look at it today.
01:06 Render unto Caesar. Brothers and sisters, this is in Matthew 22, verse 19 to 21. Matthew 22.
01:18 Show me the coin. This is a situation whereby they said they were questioning Jesus about money, you know, paying taxes, taxes. Showed me the coin used for the poll tax.
01:32 And they brought him a denarius, a day’s wage. That means, can you imagine one coin, a gold coin denarius is a day’s wage. And Jesus said to them, whose likeness and inscription is in this? They said, the Emperor Tiberius Caesar.
01:49 They say, Caesar, Caesar. At the time, Caesar. Caesar is the title, you know, like the king.
01:55 So at that time, Caesar was Emperor Tiberius. Then he said to them, then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And to God the things that are God’s.
02:08 Brothers and sisters, then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. Here is a very clear indication. When we follow Jesus Christ, the command says, obey the laws of the nation.
02:20 Obey. Obey the law of nations. Only time we cannot.
02:24 When they say, don’t follow Jesus or don’t obey Jesus, we cannot. Then by mercy we pray we are not persecuted. But if we are persecuted by mercy of Christ, we take it.
02:35 We have to take it. When they hang in there, knowing fully well our home is heaven, we are not citizens of this world. We are pilgrims.
02:43 So, brothers and sisters, today remember this obeying the laws of the land is critical. There are many who think they can just do whatever they want just because they follow Jesus. Not true.
02:54 Jesus didn’t say this. Even taxes, there are two types in the accounting world. They’ll tell you tax evasion and tax avoidance.
03:05 Tax evasion is when you evade, you don’t want to pay at all, you hide your income and all that. Let’s not do this. Why? Now you see, you think the authorities may not know.
03:16 But remember, the devil knows, God knows, and Jesus Christ already told you clearly, pay unto Caesar. What is Caesar’s. Whatever taxes are supposed to pay, you have to pay.
03:26 You’re trying to avoid. Oh, you say the tax too much. They should not be charging me so much.
03:31 All that may be true even in many countries, but it’s still the law. It’s still the law until the law is changed. You have to obey.
03:40 Now, if you cannot, then you ask Christ for more income to pay these taxes. And two, you can ask Jesus to get you out of the country to some other country where life is different or whatever. But this is all only Jesus can do for you.
03:55 We do not use our own mind and begin to make a decision and say, okay, I’m not happy with the taxes, so I will just evade the tax laws. Then the devil, knowing this, you have given him a foothold, he’ll come in and steal from you. The time is that you’re not bothered by taxes.
04:12 He can steal anything from you. When you allow the devil a foothold, he can steal anything from you. He can steal your life, he can steal your health, he can steal your.
04:22 He can cause accidents. He can do all kinds of things. Why you have allowed the.
04:28 Jesus said, the devil, your enemy. Your enemy. The devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow, you, may devour.
04:36 Swallow. So now we are giving the devil a foothold. So therefore, please, please, please do not have the mistaken things you know, mistaken understanding.
04:48 Even some people may teach this. But clearly unto Caesar, what is Caesar? You have to pay what you have to pay now. So you cannot buy a car.
04:59 Maybe you can change your car. Maybe because your taxes are that much. Taxes, you pay taxes.
05:03 So now what you do, you sit in Christ. Look at the words of God. Look at the words of God, Jesus Christ.
05:11 Because if you love me, keep my commandments. This is another thing. We have to love him the way he wants us to love him.
05:17 We cannot love him any which way and say, I love Jesus Christ. And then we do what we want. Say, I love.
05:23 I feel love for Jesus Christ. Some may not because of the carnal thing, the music is good or whatever. They have so much of good instruments and all that.
05:34 So that one, if you go to the symphony orchestras, you will feel good. Or so if you go to some music stadium whereby somebody that you like who sing, you go there, you will feel good also. That doesn’t mean you are loving Jesus Christ because of the music.
05:50 If you love me, keep my commandments. We have to love him the way he told us to love. What is a sign of loving him is if you love me, keep my commandments.
06:00 This is love. Walk in my commandments. Only when you walk in his commandments.
06:04 In the commandments of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ considers that we are loving him. We just feel love and we don’t walk in commandments.
06:14 He says, no, that is not. Cut it. It’s not it.
06:16 You’re not loving me. You’re just having the feeling. Feelings from the heart.
06:21 Felt prayer. Yeah. That means you felt prayer.
06:24 Feeling must be in line with the word of Jesus Christ. Feelings that are not in line with the word of Jesus Christ is from Antichrist, is from Satan, isn’t it? You have feelings like we are married. Then you have feelings for another woman because she’s in trouble or whatever.
06:43 Look, compassion will be there, but get your wife involved to help the other woman, because you have to help others. Get your wife involved. But if you’re having feelings other than compassion for her trouble and undue affection you are having, that is demonic, satanic.
07:04 It is not feelings. That is righteousness in Christ. Righteousness in Christ.
07:08 Feelings. That’s why feelings also have to be identified. Is it of Christ or is it of the flesh? Is it of your flesh, your own flesh? Or is it of the world? The world is tempting you.
07:20 Good music. So a lot of times this has happened in churches, plenty of good music. And then after that, people think they love Jesus Christ when he has determined, when he instructed clearly, if you love me, keep my commandments.
07:34 This is love he has commanded and he defined it. This love means walking in my commandments. Now, this is love.
07:41 One commandment is keep unto Caesar. What is Caesar? Pay your taxes. Pay your taxes.
07:49 Now. Evasion, as I said outright, you don’t try to decline, you don’t decline income. And all this.
07:54 Now, avoidance. There also can be legal and illegal avoidance. Why avoidance? The tax department has given you certain exemptions under certain conditions.
08:05 Now, if you try to abuse the conditions, you know, try to fix things in such a manner, force in a condition, then eventually they’ll catch you in. And then, you know, there’s old saying, you cannot. There are only two things you cannot escape in Life, debt and taxes, you cannot escape dying.
08:24 And the two, you’re going to escape taxes. And it’s a joke. But that’s how good the tax department is in every country, because it’s collection.
08:32 So if you were to avoid legally, that means you are allowed a certain exemption. Yes, better check it. And if you allow the certain exemption and you don’t check to take it, you’re not a good steward.
08:44 God says be a good steward because the money belongs to Christ. So when he pays taxes, you better pay the taxes. You have surrendered all to Christ.
08:53 The money belongs to Christ. And then even taking the best all the exemptions and reliefs they give, you have to take. If you don’t understand, you have to study.
09:04 You cannot study and don’t understand. Get counsel, get people to help you because be a good steward of the money that Jesus Christ has given you now. So everything that Tajiba allows, you must claim, you’re not claiming, you’re not that.
09:18 Then you are not good steward. Now, when you’re not a good steward, if you intently did well and then finally you didn’t make mistakes, Jesus Christ will protect you. You made mistake because you’re not intentioned, but you are doing everything.
09:31 Get the right counsel, right relief and all that. You’re studying, you’re paying attention now. If you don’t, you couldn’t be bothered.
09:40 You just do what you want. Then you are not taking the exemptions or reliefs that the government gives legally. Then you are not a good steward.
09:49 And once you are not a good steward in one area, that will spread like the leaven of the Pharisees. Remember east time spread and you will not be a good steward in every other area. After a while.
10:02 After a while, this attitude of poor stewardship will apply everywhere else in your business, in your work, in your, how you spend your money, how you care for your family. Because you’re poor steward now you are a lazy steward. It will begin to apply everywhere.
10:19 We ought to avoid this because it’s a terrible thing. So let’s be good steward. Oh, you are very hard.
10:24 Now what is pastor telling? I am not telling you this. It’s God’s word. By the same time, it applies to me also.
10:30 But then if you ask if it’s hard, difficult, so many things happening in your home, maybe tragedy has happened, maybe there’s sickness. Yes, I’ve gone through, my family has gone through all this. My wife, my children have gone through all this.
10:44 And from time to time we go through, but we go through. And then we call on to Jesus Christ for power. Power of Christ as we begin to love Him.
10:54 Righteousness, peace and joy. You must seek the righteousness, peace and joy. When you do that, then first stop and worship.
11:01 Get the righteousness, peace and joy. Joy, brothers and sisters. And in that joy, things will begin to happen for you.
11:07 In that righteousness, peace and joy, things will begin to happen for you. So first seek ye the kingdom of God and its righteousness daily. So when you do that, then you sit and look in the peace of Christ.
11:19 Anxiousness cannot kill anxiety. Before anxiety kills you, anxiousness means you begin to worship. Cast out.
11:27 Cast out spirit of anxiety. Cast out spirit of fear. And then be content.
11:32 Content with godliness, great gain. So brothers and sisters, today do the right thing. Yes, it is effort, but Jesus power will come.
11:42 Jesus love. Remember his love. He loves you.
11:45 You’re not lefty as often. So when you cry out to him, he’ll do something. He’ll do something.
11:51 But remember, many times people pray, asking, lord, give me strength. And all that is not correct. You cast out evil spirits first.
11:59 Because he said, those who believe his signs will follow. They’ll cast out evil spirits in my name. You cast out evil spirits, Evil spirit of laziness, evil spirit of bad stewardship.
12:09 Get out of me in the name of Jesus Christ. Now you begin to cast all this out. Then you begin to worship.
12:14 Then you begin to get the joy. You look at the joy he has suffered for you. He’s coming back for you.
12:20 He’s coming back for you. Then you get the joy. You walk your day.
12:24 You don’t want to do any wrong anymore. And Jesus will see you through. Now the next topic here we talked about is await my return.
12:33 Now be ready for his coming. Await my return means be ready for his coming. Now it’s very clear this thing because it’s critical.
12:40 He’s only coming back for those who are eagerly waiting for him. He said that? No, he’s only coming back with those who are eagerly waiting for him. So there he thinks about it.
12:52 And I met a decision. I told others, hey, before eating food, think of his return. So we have to think of it coming back.
13:00 Then we need ourselves check because our heart and mind is fallen nature problem. So we have to start thinking when you’re coming back, what am I doing and all that. So it’s good time to examine before eating food, you know? And then you will know convicted.
13:13 That’s why he said what want to sacrifice thing to Christ. Leave it there, go and settle with your brother. Isn’t it now brothers and sisters, today Matthew 24:42 so be alert.
13:22 Matthew 24:42 so be alert, give strict attention, be cautious and active in faith Be alert is identified as give strict attention, be cautious and active in faith. For you do not know which day your Lord is coming. You do not know which day Jesus Christ is coming, whether near or far then 43 but understand this, if the head of the house had known what time of the night the tea was coming, he would have been alert on the alert.
13:56 He would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. True, isn’t it? If the head of the house knew what time the tea was coming, he would have been alert and would not have allowed the house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you who follow me this Jesus saying the therefore you follow me must also be ready because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect him.
14:20 When you do not expect him. These are big hoohah going on in the world. You know this coming second coming, plant this plan that now all trying to identify when exactly he’ll come.
14:31 But he already said he’s only coming back when you do not expect him. So whenever people are expecting him to come back on a certain time, it’s not going to happen at that time. It’s going to happen when people are not expecting.
14:45 So brothers and sisters, today make up your mind because the Word clear. There are other scriptures to say that he’s coming back for those who are eagerly awaiting Him. Let us eagerly wait for our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, the Archon of our soul.
14:59 Eagerly wait whether it’s today, tomorrow, daily. We must be ready daily. That’s what the Bible is saying.
15:07 That’s what Jesus Christ is saying. Daily. Be ready daily.
15:12 That means now before you eat your food, have any food, breakfast, lunch or dinner or whatever you took. You’re praying sanctify the food. Generally we say sanctify the food because the self thinking we want to protect ourselves from any problem with the food and we want the food to be nourishing to us and all that.
15:27 But now add one more thing. Lord Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know that you are coming back an hour when we do not expect I am waiting for you Lord. I command my heart and mind to eagerly wait for you Jesus Christ to come in the name of Jesus Christ.
15:29 I command my heart and mind to eagerly wait in the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to crave for Jesus Christ to love him. Do some prayer on your own, make your own words.
15:56 Because he is a husband of your soul, you love him. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart to love him. And loving him according to the will of Jesus Christ, which is keeping his commandments.
15:59 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to love Jesus Christ, to crave for Jesus Christ, to seek his word. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to meditate on the words of Jesus Christ.
16:27 Meditate on his commands. I love his commands. I want to obey his commands.
16:32 In the name of Jesus Christ, I want to obey his command. In the name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, make me obey the commandments of Jesus Christ so that I will please him.
16:34 I want to please him. I want to please the husband of my soul. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray something like this.
16:49 Just take two, three minutes and pray, brothers and sisters. In fact, within a minute you said this prayer. In Jesus name I pray.
16:55 So we begin to train our heart and mind to eagerly wait for him. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 10 March 2016 titled if you have faith and render unto Caesar. If you have faith and render unto Caesar. Brothers and sisters, today we hope that we can cover as much as we can.
00:16 But there’s no anxiety. Don’t be anxious for anything. There’s a segment that God made me do that is called kill anxiety before anxiety kills you.
00:26 If we do not kill anxiety, anxiety will kill us. Anxiousness is a Jesus doesn’t want us to be anxious for anything, for anything, even for life, even for living, even for finances, even for food. Nothing.
00:40 He said, look, trust him, trust him, he will provide. How he provides is his power. His unlimited power.
00:52 His understanding, which is far above us, cannot come near. We cannot come near his understanding too far. He is a Creator and we are created.
01:00 So he is just asking us to believe in his works. Believe in him, believe in what he does. Have faith in the faith of Christ.
01:10 Our faith is required only to be faith of Christ. So now, brothers and sisters, today, Matthew 21:21, Matthew 21:21 almost I’m reading. Jesus replied to them, I assure you.
01:25 And this amplified, I assure you. And most solemnly I say to you, if you have failed and do not doubt, you will not only have what was done to the fig tree, but even you said to this mountain, be taken up and thrown into the sea. It will happen.
01:46 Now when I read the next one again, I’ll read this, but this time with all this explanation in between. Jesus replied to them, Matthew 21:21 onwards, Matthew 21:21, Jesus replied to them, I assure you and most solemnly state to you, if you have faith, that is personal trust and confidence in me, and do not doubt or allow yourself to be drawn in two directions. You will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, be taken up and thrown into the sea, it will happen if God wills it.
02:22 If God wills it. And whatever you ask for in prayer, believing you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer, believing you will receive, John 15:7 if you remain in me and and my words remain in you. That is, if we are vitally united and my message lives in your heart.
02:43 Ask whatever you wish and it will be done unto you or done for you. Brothers and sisters, whatever we ask, there are conditions. It must be according to the will of God.
02:54 In fact, it’s clear that we ask and we do not receive because we ask amiss. This is in book of James. We ask and do not receive because we ask, commit.
03:05 We ask away from the will of God. And if we ask means first of all, we must be in Christ Jesus. There are people just praying, praying, praying, praying, praying, pity.
03:16 Well, we have done that before, so it is not we are putting somebody down. We have all done all this. So let us understand this.
03:24 We are not condemning anybody. I am not condemning anybody. I am telling you, look, I keep telling you my sins because to let people know, look, we are hope.
03:31 Whatever sins you are doing, you have hope. And you only have to turn. You have purpose in your heart to know that only Jesus Christ has settled us and we have to turn to him.
03:42 Only he is the provider. Because as I said, wherever our hearts and minds are fallen nature like this, wherever we got options, we will run to death. Jesus says they do not come to me because they want to keep their sins.
03:56 So I too didn’t go to him before Jesus arrested me because I was keeping my sins. And of course we were also ignorant because I was under the impression that I must change completely and go to Jesus. And two, I go to Jesus, I must give up my thinking, I must give up my worldly weight and all that.
04:14 So of course I’m not going to Jesus. So what Jesus has already said in the scriptures, which I didn’t know at the time, is when we don’t go to Jesus, when somebody doesn’t go to Jesus or turn to Jesus after you are ministering or witnessing, you must remember they want to keep their sins. I’m not saying this.
04:32 Jesus Christ himself said this. They do not come to me because they want to keep their sins. And that happened to me because I was thinking if I go to Jesus, I must change my ways.
04:41 How can I? I must stop my drinking and all that. The adultery business is like my second wife. I didn’t even really consider it too much of a sin there, you know, although there’s some conviction from time to time, it’ll brush it away.
04:53 No, I’m entitled. I can marry how many number I want. And all this foolishness was there completely forgetting the fact that I made a marriage covenant with my wife, completely ignoring all that.
05:05 Because when our heart is drawn, we will do what our heart does only we will do. And we will justify what the heart is saying. And we will get angry with people when people tell us we are wrong.
05:17 True, this is true. We will get angry with people when people tell us we are wrong. We get angry.
05:22 Why? Because we are believing our heart. We want what our heart wants. We want to Keep our seed.
05:28 So we get angry. So brothers and sisters, instead of getting angry, because that double whammy, they say, first of all, you have to keep your sins. Next thing is you’re getting angry, the anger will destroy you.
05:39 So please don’t look at the word of Jesus Christ. Let’s look at it truthfully, sincerely. Otherwise we’ll be deceiving ourselves only.
05:50 And it’s not going to benefit us if we live in the light. It’s not going to benefit us, it’s going to destroy us more and more. So, brothers and sisters, today I’ll Read again Matthew 21:21.
06:03 Jesus replied to them, I assure you and most solemnly said to you, I assure you, he says, and most solemnly, seriously, Seriously, I tell you, he said, if you have faith and do not doubt or allow yourself to be drawn in two directions, you will not only do, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree. Now, the fig tree story is what he cursed the fig tree, isn’t it? Because the fig tree had lived from a distance. He was hungry after a long day of ministry.
06:31 He was going there. And then he said, let me eat some fruits. So he went to fig tree.
06:35 He went there, he see no figs. So he considered it hypocritical, considered it lying because he had a lot of leaf, means it’s supposed to be fruiting. It was not doing that.
06:46 So. So he cursed the tree from the root and said, you will not deceive anybody else. Finish.
06:51 So Jesus wants the truth. So you reading this or listening to me in the morning? Or so you actually listen to the Word of God? Because listening to me is useless. So listening to the Word of God, I’m only merely a messenger releasing this and using my own experiences.
07:06 What happened? How Jesus released me, how Jesus settled me and releasing that. Now, brothers and sisters, today very simple. First, when you read the Scriptures, you must be willing to follow.
07:16 You want the truth. You want to be willing to accept the truth. If you are reading the scripture critically, oh, is it correct? Does this work for me? Is this, maybe not this and that it does not work for you.
07:28 Why? Jesus said, if you come to me, come trusting, come believing. This is his word. When you come read His Word, you better accept His Word.
07:36 And he says, they do not understand because they do not accept My Word. So to understand these words, we must first decide to accept what Jesus Christ is saying is true. Now, if you cannot accept what Jesus Christ is saying is true, reading this is useless.
07:54 In fact, there will be confusion. Now for you. Now when you read this, you better say what Jesus said.
08:00 It is true. And it says my heart and mind is duping me. It’s calling me.
08:05 I do not want to listen to my heart and mind. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt or allow yourself to be drawn into two directions. This comes from James, double minded.
08:17 This one, that one, this when you go and say this job, that job, this job, that job or this vitamin, that vitamin, this vitamin, that vitamin, Double minded vitamin or natural. Vitamin or natural. You know this goes on.
08:32 Double minded, nothing going to work. But you can stop all this in the name of Jesus Christ, double minded way. No, you think it’s the mind.
08:41 Actually it’s in the heart. Double minded, sensing, believing in the heart. Double minded.
08:47 Oh, believe this, believe that, believe this, believe that. Well, all of us did that before. So now you command your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ to be single minded in Christ.
08:56 That’s it. That’s it. By the blood of Jesus Christ I command my heart and mind to be single minded in Christ.
09:02 What Jesus said is true. Heart and mind. I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to obey, believe and obey the word of God.
09:09 Every day, two, three times you wag the fellow like that, wag the heart and mind like that in Jesus Christ’s name they will change. And then you begin to look at the word of God. Look at many words of God, Many words of God.
09:20 Scriptures you know. In fact you take so many have been talked about and written in this. I think there’s 280something now.
09:26 I think so. Brother and sister is here. Do not doubt turkeys.
09:31 If you have faith, that means believing in our faith. In what? In Jesus Christ. Your faith is not talking about your faith that the victory will be destroyed.
09:36 Your faith is asking you to have personal trust and confidence in Jesus Christ. If you have faith bracket personal trust and confidence in me. Our faith is in Jesus Christ to do for us.
09:52 Our faith is in the word of Jesus Christ that it is true. It’s not that. Suppose you command the mountain.
10:01 Go, go. Of course, it must be the will of God. And you know what happens if you command the mountain to go.
10:07 And you’re believing in the mountain to go. This is an error I made long ago. After that, when Jesus Christ turned me around, I could understand this.
10:15 Your faith is the faith of Christ. Your faith is not that. Let’s say you cursed the fig tree.
10:20 He cursed the fig tree because it was not bearing fruit. Now when we do, curse of victory, let’s say we curse cancer in the name of Jesus Christ. Cancer is not of God.
10:33 So any growth, never mind not with cancer, you see any growth that’s a growth in the breast of a woman and then a sister, and then she wants prayers or anybody wants to matter, who wants to believe in Christ. Now you begin to command the growth to disappear, the growth to go. In Jesus Christ’s name, I command the growth to disappear.
10:52 Now, shrink now, now, now. In fact, that’s what the congregation that I minister in do when somebody comes, they pray like that on the phone also, even they command the growth to shrink now, now, now. And you know what? And their faith is in the personal trust, in the confidence in Jesus Christ, not in that, oh, you shrink.
11:14 I have faith it will shrink. I have faith it will shrink. No, don’t look at that because you’re looking at the swelling or the growth.
11:21 Your faith has gone down into the drain already. Because if you have growth in your breast, the woman will panic, fear, confusion will come. So now we only put our eyes on Jesus.
11:33 Put our eyes on Jesus. Faith in Jesus. Faith in Jesus.
11:37 So any pain when you rub it with your hand, it will go. Let’s say you got knee pain, some arthritic pain in Jesus name, you rub it, just rub down, rub down from top to bottom. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command this pain to go.
11:49 I command every spirit of arthritis to get out. In the name of Jesus, I command the arthritis to go. Spirit of arthritis, I curse you.
11:56 Get out. In the name of Jesus Christ. You keep on stroking, stroking, stroking.
12:00 The pain will go within a few minutes you do it. But your faith is in Jesus Christ. So if you have faith in Jesus Christ, if you have faith in the confidence in Jesus Christ, if you have faith, I mean, look at all the examples he has done.
12:15 Look at the testimony, the graceoflife.com so many women, so many people have been healed and all that. You read that to build your faith in Jesus Christ, not in the graceoflife.com page or me. So you then do what then you begin to command now, now, now, now, we call it the now, now prayers.
12:35 So what will happen is when they do, this is not one case, many. It will shrink now then after we shrink and all that. Obviously you have to look at the 20%, 80% is spiritual.
12:46 You have to look at the anger, the bitterness and all that. These are all causes, cancer also bitterness, anger, low self esteem and all these other things. You know, you are not bold you take the fearful and all that.
13:03 So there they will counsel you. Then you begin to. Then you look at the 20%.
13:08 The 20% in the what food you are eating, the drinking water, maybe you are not filtering or something. That area may be poisoned. That area may have some industries that are causing this throughout the world.
13:20 Throughout the world, industries may be causing pollution, water may be polluted. So if you look at the 20% electromagnetic waves whereby you’re sitting in a place where full of computers and cell phone all the time you’re on the cell phone, cell phone, cell phone or keeping the cell phone near you. There’s a test done, there’s experiments done.
13:38 When men carrying their handphones, the smartphones in their pockets, they. They have become infertile, they don’t have sperm produced. Stones have been killed off by these magnetic waves.
13:49 And they can’t have babies, they can’t have children because all this is happening. So the 20% of the studies that redo that by having said that. But the growth will shrink now.
14:02 Now, now. It will shrink now. So two daisy means so not.
14:07 Of course Shangjimi will shrink or not. Shrink or not. You better stop that because you believe, you keep your eyes on Jesus.
14:13 Because you keep your eyes on the growth, the devil will put on thoughts and your heart will say we shrink or not. We shrink or not? No, Jesus settled me. Jesus died on the cross.
14:23 And then when you want to overcome sin, always remember the suffering of Jesus Christ. Suffering. He suffered for you, he suffered for me.
14:33 And so whatever, we’re giving up withdrawal, you’re having a cigarette addiction, withdrawal. You’re having some booze, drunkenness, addiction, withdrawal. Always think the suffering with Jesus Christ.
14:45 I don’t want to sin anymore, Lord. I don’t sin against you. You gave me your life for me.
14:50 I will now use your blood and name to overcome this withdrawal. I will not buy the cigarette, I will not buy the drinking, I will not buy the booze. I will not be with people.
14:54 I will not go and mix around people. I will run away, flee from all semblance of evil. And I began to do all this so because I trust you, Lord Jesus, you are my savior, the husband of my soul.
15:11 You begin to think of Jesus and you begin to think of Jesus and talk about Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ to your heart and mind. They have no space now to think about whether you shrink or not, whether heal or not. You Jin Bridgehu After a couple of times you see all this happening.
15:26 Your faith automatic. Yeah, it shrinks now. Now those People in the congregation, those who do this prayer, they know now, now prayer will work because it has worked so many times already.
15:38 Brothers and sisters today, remember this. And then if you remain in me, my words remain in you. And my message lives in your heart.
15:48 Whatever you wish it was done unto you. Remember, the condition is this. Jesus Christ’s word must remain in us.
15:54 We must believe in Him. We must remain in Him. There are people praying, praying, praying.
15:59 But they’re doing whatever they want. And they don’t want to be in Jesus Christ. And when they have a problem, they run to Jesus Christ.
16:06 But they don’t obey Jesus Christ. They don’t want to love him. Don’t want to love him.
16:09 Loving him is from your heart. What is the love? Keeping his commandments. He said, if you love me, keep my commandments.
16:18 This is love we define in one scripture. This is love walking in my commandments. So if you do not walk in his commandments, you do not love Him? He says, if you do not love him, how can the prayer to him work? This is straightforward, but some other people don’t.
16:35 Listen to this number of people. I get shocked. Can they understand this condition? Because false teachers are telling, no, you can do anything.
16:44 Jesus loves you and all that. Yeah, Jesus loves you. You don’t love Jesus, so you do not get the power in.
16:50 Brothers and sisters, today, go and listen to this scripture, John 15:7 and Matthew 21:21, and pray and be a child of God in the power of Christ. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 9th March 2016. Guard Against Greed and be a servant. Guard against greed and be a servant.
00:11 We hope we can fear both today and in any case. As the Lord leads. We are not going to be anxious for anything.
00:17 Give thanks in all things. Not anxious for nothing. Be anxious for nothing.
00:17 Give thanks in all things. Be contentment. Contentment with godliness is great gain.
00:27 Brothers and sisters, our heart is treacherously wicked. You better understand it would have changed in many areas. As we begin to deal with our heart in line with the word of God, which is Jesus Christ.
00:40 And as we begin to deal with the Word, with the word of God, with our heart using the word of God, our heart will change many areas and continue to change from glory to glory now. But there are many areas still unchanged or even areas that are changed. The devil comes along and begins to tempt.
00:58 How are we tempted when we are drawn by our own heart’s desire? Now as I said, some translations will say when we are drawn by our own heart’s evil desire. No such thing. The actual original translation is when we are drawn by our own heart desire, then temptation comes.
01:16 So temptation just simply cannot come. It will come only when we are drawn by our own heart desire. But the problem here is we all know what our heart is desiring.
01:26 We can only recognize when the temptation begins to come. Because our heart is treacherously, desperately wicked. It’s cunning.
01:35 You will not know. In fact, God says, father God says hearts are desperately wicked or treacherously wicked. Who can know it? Who can know it? It’s telling us.
01:45 You son, you won’t know it. You child of God. You won’t know it.
01:50 Father. God will know it. Because it’s the spirit plane.
01:53 It’s in the spirit world. Whatsoever the heart is, our heart is in this belongs to the spirit plane. Whatever heart desiring and all this our father God will know.
02:03 And of course the devil will know. Because it is also is a spirit being. Now.
02:09 Now the demons will use that to tempt us. They’ll use the world. They use people of the world to tempt us.
02:18 They’ll use advertisement, they’ll use Hollywood, Bollywood, all these things. They’ll tempt us. And the temptation comes.
02:24 Because they already that familiar spirit who has been assigned to us. Whenever we are born, a demon is assigned by Satan to watch us. Now this demon is many years, many thousands of years old.
02:36 So it has gone through many lives. It has brought many lives to hell. So this demon is called A familiar spirit which knows all about us.
02:45 From the day I’m born, it’s following me. And remember it’s a spirit, it’s a spirit. The demon is a spirit.
02:52 So the world operates in the spirit world. So he has got facilities and strength that we don’t have. But now in Christ we have power over him.
03:01 We have power over our heart, we have power over our body. We have power over everything. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
03:08 So brothers and sisters here the title is guard against greed. Now greed. Sometimes people say greed.
03:16 Greed for oh very greed for money. Greed for money. It’s just not money.
03:21 Now others will say greed for food, gluttony, greedy. Just want to eat and eat because the body has fallen into a trap. What’s happened? What has happened nowadays because the world as Jesus Christ already said is ruled by Satan.
03:37 Satan is the ruler of the world or the God of this world. The Bible says. And Satan uses the world to destroy human beings soul.
03:48 His game is his entire objective is to take each one of us to hell. So this is your enemy. Jesus says your enemy Satan your enemy.
04:00 The devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Swallow. So we have an enemy.
04:08 This Satan is not Jesus enemy. He’s no class to be enemy of Jesus Christ. No standing.
04:15 Jesus Christ is a creator. Satan is a created being as a Lucifer is a created as an angel of light. And then finally he rebels and is thrown down with billions of.
04:27 One third of the angels in heaven followed Satan and they became demons. And they are doing this now. They’ve been judged Satan and so don’t.
04:36 And somebody was telling me some time ago that people even felt Satan feel sorry for Satan because you feel compassion for others. Compassion for others. So they felt sorry for Satan.
04:48 No stop this. Satan is the enemy and he has been judged. He has already been judged.
04:54 That means decided. The sentence for him has been decided. He will be thrown into the lake of fire.
05:00 He and his demons will be thrown into the lake of fire. So we have been judged already. We still have a chance because we have not been judged yet.
05:03 So we have been given to now perform according to what Jesus Christ has put us on earth for. And as we do this by the power of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of Jesus Christ which could only come from the suffering of Jesus Christ suffered and spilled blood for us. And then we use them and then we become disciples.
05:31 We become trained, more and more disciplined and then we do his will and then we become co Rulers with him. And then he comes before that he comes and takes us. We are part of his bride.
05:43 He is the husband of our souls. Friends, this is the fantastic thing. Do not throw away this like nothing.
05:50 I don’t want to think about it or not. No, you have eternity. Whatever we are fighting and whatever you are fighting and struggling on earth to gain in all earth, you will have to leave and go.
06:02 If you just go to funerals, you stand there and watch with sadness. People, of course, people who are left behind in that family are crying and heartbroken and all. But also remember the body in the coffin.
06:15 The body in the coffin. The soul has of course left. The soul has left.
06:19 The spirit being has left the body only there. Because all men are destined to die once and thereafter judgment. The Bible says it’s clear the soul has left.
06:32 So the body is there. And everybody think focus on the body. But actually the soul has left.
06:40 If you are in Christ, absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. So we pray each of us are in Christ. And we go to Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters.
06:50 So just look at that. Everything left behind is left behind. You cannot take nothing.
06:56 That is why use whatever we have for the good. According to what the spirit of God is telling us. Use everything we have.
07:03 Not just money. Your talent, your skills, your energy, your time, your thinking, your speaking, everything use. Now supposing greed.
07:17 Greed is just want to collect more and more. If it’s money, you want to collect more and more. That means your hope is in the money.
07:24 The devil will come and steal that. And when that goes, what happens? What is your hope going to be? Your hope is in Christ. Means they cannot steal Christ.
07:34 Your hope in your money. Money can be stolen, but your hope is in Christ. Can the demons kill Christ? No go.
07:40 No way. So our hope is in Christ. And he can do anything and everything.
07:45 Because he is almighty God. Almighty God. Present everywhere, omniscient.
07:53 All knowledge, all thinking, all power. Omnipotent. All powerful.
07:58 No, all. And he is everywhere omniscient. Now brothers and sisters, today examine ourselves.
08:08 Are we greedy for something? Whether it’s food, whether for television. You may be greedy just watching TV after TV after tv, movie after movie after movie. Or some people are interested in games.
08:21 Football game after football game, cricket after cricket, wrestling after wrestling. There’s greed. Greed.
08:29 No. Your heart wants that on and on, more. Greed is simply want to have a lot of lots and lots and lots of the same thing.
08:37 Without any meaning, without any purpose. So just collecting. Are you greed for collector I’m a collector, you say A coin collector or a doll.
08:47 Dolls collector, whatever. Collecting more and more and more. Are you greedy there? So examine what your heart wants to possess and collect more and more and more.
09:00 So now the greed finally becomes an addiction. Greed, lust. It becomes a lust.
09:07 You cannot stop it. You need it. A spirit of lust.
09:10 Catch you lust for money, lust for things of the world, lust for movies, lust for television, lust for food, lust. Finally it becomes an addiction, it becomes a lust. And you cannot stop it.
09:22 Because your body is craving for it, the heart is craving for it. And when you don’t, you might have so much. And yet the next one you don’t collect.
09:31 You feel that you are lost. You feel you are lost. You need more greed.
09:36 Lust for drinks, for alcohol, for cigarettes. It’s a greed. The body wants more and more and more.
09:43 It becomes greed. So you say, God against all forms of greed. He says, watch out and guard yourself.
09:51 Luke 12:15. Watch out and guard yourself against every form of greed. For not even when one has an overflowing abundance does his life consist or nor is it derived from his possession.
10:04 Your existence is not derived, does not flow from your possession. Your life flows from Christ, from Jesus Christ, the creator of heaven and earth. So when you have this, you can overcome this greed, you can overcome this lust, you can overcome this addiction.
10:22 But you have to go through a withdrawal. You have to go through a withdrawal, trusting Christ. You will lock yourself in or you every time will turn away.
10:30 And whatever causes man to sin, cut it off. He says, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut your hand, he says, telling you how serious it is. The guy is causing you to sin, pluck your eye out.
10:42 Now, the thing is, it’s an example he’s giving. He’s not saying, I expect you to cut your hand all off. Now listen to this.
10:48 Don’t go around doing this. Some teachings are there. It’s not God wants you to be able to overcome sin.
10:55 He said, cut off the thing, but use it as a hand or eye to let you know the seriousness, to let us know the seriousness of this sin. So if your television is causing sin, you cannot stop, unplug the television, finish, give it away, put it away in somebody else has stopped for a while, for two, three weeks. And force yourself to.
11:17 No television. If your thing is, let’s say, collecting dolls, dolls stop buying. Don’t go near there.
11:25 Get rid of all the toys, get away all the dolls. If it is wrestling after wrestling, you got video after video on this. Get rid of all the videos, why you know your soul has been stolen already.
11:39 Overcome this, overcome, brothers and sisters. Greed is a killer. It kills our soul.
11:46 It kills our existence on earth. It kills us from doing the work of God which will stand for eternity. We cannot produce fruits, we cannot produce, produce things that can last for eternity.
12:02 All our works will be destroyed because these are works of the devil. So therefore, anything that catches us, anything that has a form of a greed, a lust is growing. You cut it off in the name of Jesus Christ.
12:15 You begin to think about it, you begin to repent, you begin to confess, you begin to tell another disciple, help me, I have this problem. First, the act of humility. Act of humility.
12:27 Humility is the most important thing in Christ. And then in act of humility, everything will come. That’s why the next word is we are trying to deal with be a servant, lead by you being a servant.
12:40 He says in Matthew 20:26, he said, it is not this way among you, because the Gentiles will lord over the others. Lording over the others. Jesus Christ telling, don’t this be your way.
12:52 Don’t be lording over people. You are the boss. Oh, you are the pastor, so you are the boss.
12:58 Yes. Everybody will respect you or something because you are serving them. Or if you are lording over them, they will also get fed up eventually.
13:06 Now, if they do not know any better because they illiterate or do not know the word of God, they will shout out to you or bow to you and say, yeah, you are the greatest and all that, but your soul will be lost. Jesus will punish you for this kind of things. First, humble yourself now.
13:22 He says, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant. So if any one of us, pastors, servants, elders, want to be great in the eyes of God, we shall be the servant of all. Whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.
13:40 He says, willing and humble. Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served by, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many the paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin. Brothers and sisters, Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve.
13:59 And we are supposed to be like Jesus. So we learn to serve each of the. In the congregation of the minister, I say, look, you have to serve.
14:07 You don’t come to congregation to be served, you come to serve. And as each one serves, everybody is settled. Why everyone coming with the attitude of serving others, thinking of others, they come to serve.
14:20 When they begin to Serve. Each one is serving. Everyone is served already.
14:25 Everyone is helped. Not only in just the food they bring, in the health situation, the soul situation. First in the spirit situation, to give them peace, joy, righteousness, to make sure they’re not oppressed, depressed, no sin issue.
14:39 So the serving people to make them out of bondages, out of captivity. We have to serve so humble ourselves to be servant. If you want to be great, you have to be a servant.
14:51 The, the spirit world is the Jesus world is entirely upside down than the world, you know, the world you got to be boss, put on an act, put on a jacket and three piece suit and command this and command that. But in the spirit world, in where Jesus had decided, that is how the devil got duped. The devil thought we killed Jesus off, but they didn’t know the plan of God is opposite what the world will think, what the devil thinks.
15:17 By dying, Jesus gives life to all. Jesus gets life for himself. And Jesus Christ gives life to all by dying.
15:26 But Satan thought by killing him off, it’s over, they win. It’s by dying Jesus won. Can you imagine? This is how it was.
15:34 By dying Jesus Christ wins for us, we by serving. We win by serving. By being a slave, humble to all, thinking of others, all the time thinking of others.
15:45 You see your life prosper more and more. By caring for others, you see your life prosper more and more. But if you keep on caring for yourself, no, I must do for myself.
15:54 That is before we came to Jesus Christ. Why? We have no protector, we have nothing. We didn’t know the Creator.
16:00 So we are looking for the Creator to help. We are looking for ourselves to help ourselves. And there will be false logic to say God only helps those who help themselves.
16:09 That’s a lie of the devil. God helps those who go to him, Jesus helps those who go to him. If we can help ourselves, then you don’t need Jesus, isn’t it? We need Jesus.
16:20 So the rule of God only helps those who help themselves is a false thing. The doctrine of demons. So we remember.
16:28 To serve, to be great, to be successful in life, to be blessed in life. You think of serving all the time to others. Help them, care for them and in the process Jesus will take care of you.
16:40 So to be the greatest among you, first among you must be a slave. Brothers and sisters, now let’s do this. To prosper in life, you be a servant.
16:50 You be a servant and get rid of any form of greed and lust. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 8th March 2016. Forgive offenders and guard yourselves against greed. Forgive offenders and guard yourselves against greed.
00:02 Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ it is not. We pray so that our hearts and minds will know that the power of Christ is in us. It’s not our prayer that solves the thing.
00:26 It’s actually Jesus Christ solves the issues through the Holy Spirit, through the Spirit of God. It is not. We are solving the issue.
00:35 I am not solving the issue for myself. I pray so that my heart and mind will know the promises of Christ. The power of Christ will begin to manifest.
00:45 The heart and mind will know that they are corrected. They cannot do certain things. They are being rebuked.
00:50 We have to do all that our flesh is commanded to stand down, not to crave for things that are not of God and all that we have. Prayer is to manifest in ourselves the knowledge that these things already exist. Jesus Christ suffered so tremendously to give me the power.
01:08 Now I must use the power. When you use the power of Christ, it is Jesus through the Holy Spirit who does for us now. It has already been done.
01:18 Everything has been done. It was finished on the cross 2,000 years ago. And it’s sitting down there.
01:24 So it’s our belief. We pray because our belief in Christ and the faith of Christ, our faith increases in the faith of Christ and as the faith increases, it will all flow through. So it is not that we pray and pray and then Jesus Christ suddenly gets up and then does something.
01:45 No, it’s all done. It’s all finished and it’s all sitting down there. We are receiving it because of faith, because of our faith in Christ.
01:54 So it’s not how much a prayer it is belief according to your belief will be done unto you without doubting. Your belief without doubting will be done unto you. We pray to make sure the doubt all goes off, especially in our heart and mind, to be renewed in the spirit of mind.
02:11 We pray so that our heart and mind will align themselves with the word of God and then they begin to believe and the things will begin to happen for us. Sometimes we say prayer so powerful. No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:25 Prayer powerful. It’s all done. Your prayer is actually to remind our heart and mind and to educate the heart and mind, the knowledge of Christ so that now our faith will increase and our faith in Christ will increase and the faith of in Christ, the faith of Christ does it for us, is already done.
02:45 This principle you must begin to understand Otherwise people will just pray and pray and pray. Repetitive prayer and all. Repetitive prayer doesn’t work.
02:53 A prayer with understanding, heartfelt prayer with understanding. Knowing your God, knowing the husband of your soul, that is what works. Because your belief will increase, your faith will increase.
03:07 Brothers and sisters, today forgive offenders and guard yourselves against greed. It’s the 8th of March 2016. We will read from Matthew 18:15.
03:18 Matthew 18:15. If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private. If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private.
03:28 If he listens and pays attention to you, you have warned back your brother. So if a brother sins against you, against you, even sins, if any sin, you find your brother. Now, first of all, before you go and do this, take the log out of your own eye before you go and look at the speck in your brother’s eye.
03:46 That’s a command. So we have to check ourselves, examine ourselves. Is there anything in us now when we examine ourselves, our heart and mind will examine ourselves in the right light, in a good light.
03:58 Like I say, we are good. Get somebody else also to examine. Is there anything? Is there anything you see in me, brother? Is there anything you see in me, sister? If anything, please tell me.
04:07 And that’s humility, asking somebody else to check. Now then first ask Jesus Christ, reveal, Lord, anything in me I do not want. I want to be holy, I want to be pleasing to you.
04:18 And then you begin to look at the thing and begin to deal. Suppose there’s something somebody said, or you sense it, you begin to look for the relevant scripture and you begin to command your heart and mind to release these things, not to do this anymore, to know that there is sin and blocking you from a great life. Sin blocks us from great life.
04:36 Sin destroys us and gives the devil a foothold to come and more demons because the temptation is given. What is the temptation you have to check? Sin is there means you have given into some temptation, your heart has given into some temptation. Now you have to see how did the temptation come drawn by our own heart? Desire.
04:55 So what was the desire that drew this temptation? And then what was the temptation that you fell into that was his sin. Now there’s some examination to do. Now then, so in this case we are dealing with, if you go and show him his fault in private, in private, first the scripture that people are rebuked from the pulpit of the church, that is, they don’t listen and they continue sinning.
05:21 And it’s going to spoil others, other souls, it’s going to damage other souls Then they after being told in private couple of times, they’re still not listening. Then they have to be dealt with in private. It’s a command.
05:32 That’s a command. That’s for pastors and elders. All that who are doing this, who have charge over these souls, who care for the souls and God will hold them accountable for the souls.
05:43 So when you tell them private, if he listens, the word is if he listens and pays attention to you, they want back your brother. But how do you do this? In Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual now, not spirit led people, not just legalistic fellow. Always this law and that law and everything else.
06:05 Spirit led, that is you who are responsive to the guidance of the spirit. You who are spiritual means you who have been responsive to the guidance of the spirit. You have been led by the spirit.
06:19 You can sense the spirit of God. You, you follow the spirit of God. These people he’s talking to you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in the spirit of gentleness.
06:30 This gentleness is not this, you know. Vishy Vashi. Hello brother, how are you? Good morning.
06:36 False humility, all that. No, no, this. Remember I talked about gentleness.
06:39 Jesus made a whip and chased everybody, broke all the tables. Millions of dollars were involved, all be scattered. People are running because he is weeping.
06:50 Now hundreds of people were running or whatever. Now there isn’t brothers or maybe thousands, I do not know. Now the issue is this.
06:57 This spirit of gentleness is compassion. Compassion. If a person is in sin, you better don’t put yourself superior or self righteous because all have sinned and follows not of glory of God.
07:12 And now we are going and if any sin in us Jesus forgives. So when person has sinned, you have compassion, I have compassion because I sinned so much before Jesus can save me. I was doing all kinds of things and by mercy he gave me mercy.
07:28 So when I’m going to minister to somebody with compassion, I’ll with compassion first. Unless they don’t want to listen, then I’ll tell them, brother, sister, you’re doing this, this is going to harm you. And if it’s not going to harm you, I’m not cursing you, I’m not condemning you.
07:43 I was a bigger sinner than you. But I’m telling you this is going to harm you. So when I tell them this is going to harm you, some don’t want to listen.
07:49 That what I’m telling. Look, I’m not condemning you, I’m telling you a Warning. It’s like a red light sign.
07:55 The red light is condemning you. Is it? Is a red light judging you? No, the traffic light. Red, yellow, green or green? Yellow, red.
08:05 No, the red light. Is it condemning you? Is it judging you? So when you tell somebody, this is the word of God, if this continues in this rebel will take advantage and he will harm you. Now he tells that, oh, you are condemning you are not condemning you.
08:21 I’m putting a red light for you. Or even an orange light or amber, you know it’s shining. I’m shining it at you to tell you, look here, you’re warning.
08:28 There’s a warning, you’re going to suffer. There’s a problem there. The traffic is running crosswise to you.
08:34 You go there, he’s going to kill you. Please, no. But not with superiority or self righteousness to sell them.
08:41 Look, I was the biggest sinner, but please, please, please. And you’re doing it. Compassion.
08:46 Because you know this real harm is coming. Because why? How I know real harm came for me. Real harm came for me.
08:54 Now, keeping a watchful eye on yourself. And now there’s a command here. No, in Galatians 6:1, while you’re doing this and restoring this person, keeping a watchful eye on yourself so that you are not tempted as well.
09:11 So this is a great warning to all servants and disciples for helping others out of sin, for helping people to come out of sin. A great warning, keeping a watchful eye on yourself. While you are trying to restore this person in the spirit of compassion, you keep a watchful eye on yourself so that you are not tempted as well.
09:32 Not sin as well. Not tempted even as well. Because tempted means your heart is being drawn, your heart being drawn by its own desire.
09:41 Temptation comes. You see how the Bible is so accurate? You know this is because the word of God, he says, I am keeping a watchful eye on yourself so that you are not tempted as well. It didn’t say so that you not sin as well.
09:53 No, so that you’re not tempted as well. Why when I’m ministering to a drunkard, I have to watch out. Because I will be tempted.
10:02 Also because I came from very drunkard, I was a drunkard. So when I ministered to a drunkard, now with compassion, no doubt, O, I will be watchful. I won’t go to places to go and see the drunkard, to tell him out or come out of the pub or something.
10:14 I may be tempted. Now why am I going there if the person doesn’t want to follow? I cannot force Him, I can only tell him the truth. But I’m not going to go and tell him all this when he’s high and drunk.
10:28 I’m going to tell him all this when he’s sober. So when I’m telling him sober also, I still must make sure when I went to his house or whatever, and he’s all going, the whiskey and the brandies and whatnot there. Or even very hot weather.
10:42 Now this is a very hot weather. You know, the cold beer would have been a perfect thing for me before. But now I already take a covenant with Christ.
10:50 I do not want to drink at all. Not a drop. I don’t want to drink.
10:53 So, brothers and sisters, can you imagine sitting with some people in this hot weather and they are having nice cold beer. Wouldn’t I be tempted? Of course I will be tempted. So keep away.
11:06 Because I will feel it in my throat, brothers and sisters. My throat will feel the cold beer. So I am not telling you that temptation won’t come.
11:15 I will say it will come, but I won’t go there. If I sense something, I’ll move away. I’ll just flee from all semblance of evil, Run away from anything looking evil.
11:25 So while we are ministering to people first, we have to watch over our own salvation first. Watch over your own salvation first. Your salvation comes first because you are the part of the bride of Jesus Christ.
11:38 You please focus on your salvation first. Oh, but I must settle the soul. I must go for this.
11:43 Hey, you finally go and continue into sin, and I continue to fall into sin and all that and get the hell out, brothers and sisters, because finally I decide to go there. The cold beard takes over finally one after one, two, three. Finally the south catches no, never ending.
12:00 Then finally become a drunkard. Drunkards don’t enter the kingdom of God. You can say you’re a Christian.
12:05 There’s no such thing as a Christian drunkard. A drunkard will not enter. If you’re a drunkard and you continue to do so without using the power of Christ to come out of it.
12:16 I keep damaging these. He already said drunkards do not enter the kingdom of God. So drunkard addiction, that means you’re not using the power of Christ.
12:25 You do not trust Christ. You do not use the power. You do not believe in the faith of Christ.
12:25 You do not have faith in the faith of Christ. You do not want to go through the withdrawal. Now, why do some smokers and some drunkens and all this do not want to stop because they are afraid of the withdrawal.
12:42 But Trust Jesus Christ. You have to go through the withdrawal. So you don’t buy the cigarette, don’t buy the bull, don’t go near people doing all this and anybody doing all this and suffering.
12:54 And if it’s your house, please ask them to leave because you do not want to get caught in this. If you’re serious with Christ, if you really appreciate the suffering on the cross by your Christ, by your Savior, the husband of your soul, you will take steps. You will not concern yourself what human beings think.
13:11 You will say, lord Jesus, I will go through this withdra trouble. It’ll be painful, Lord. I don’t know what, how painful it will be, but you will see me through this.
13:19 The faith you will see me through. So you begin to do things. You begin to put yourself in the room.
13:23 You begin to get a brother or sister in Christ to stay with you so that you will go through the suffering. You’ll begin to pray. You’ll be.
13:32 You’ll drink water to get rid of things, plenty of water, until no more pays for anything else. You’ll take. Start taking sweets, hacksaw.
13:41 They’ll do. Why? To cut out the cigarette. Desires a day.
13:44 So you have to go through the withdrawal. And for that you need faith in Christ. And for that you need to command your heart and mind to believe in Christ.
13:53 You pray so that your faith in Christ will increase. Brothers and sisters, this is what prayer is about. But while those who are watching over such people, you better not be tempted as well.
14:04 If you are going to be tempted, you better run your salvation for yourself. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. God says, now brothers and sisters, how many times must we forgive? This is forgiving offenders who have went against you.
14:22 This is in Matthew 18:21, 22. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, lord, how many times with my brother sinned against me and I forgive him. How many times will my brother sin against me and I must forgive him and let it go up to seven times? Peter is asking.
14:39 Jesus answered him, I say to you, not up to 7 times, but 70 times 7. 70 times 7. No, 70 times 7 is 490 times.
14:51 He is saying that. He is actually saying an unlimited number of times. Now this is very important to understand.
14:57 An unlimited number of times you forgive. That means you know Jesus is talking about, you know what? Forgive, forgive, forgive. Why this is necessary for our well being.
15:07 I must forgive and forgive and forgive and forgive for my well being. Jesus is caring for you. He loves you.
15:13 That’s why he’s telling you forgive an unlimited number of times. Forgive. Forgive and let it go.
15:20 Why? Because otherwise it’s going to harm you. You keep telling devilah did, the devil did. I cannot forgive.
15:26 It’s going to harm you and me. So I forgive. Forgive.
15:29 But does that mean I must be staying with these people? No. Run away from all semblance of evil. You find that these people are abusing you and keep telling you I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
15:39 After a while you must ask Holy Spirit, do I go away? Do I stay away? Yes, run away, brothers and sisters, because work out your own salvation. Fear and trembling because people continue doing this. After a while, there are times that your heart will rise up and harm them or harm yourself by harming them.
15:55 You harm yourself or the devil take control, you become angry, upset, all that you know. That is why there’s A Scripture, Proverbs 19:11. Good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger.
16:10 And it is his honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offence without seeking revenge and harbouring resentment. Brothers and sisters, you don’t get angry. All that’s why flee from all things that are causing you his problems.
16:23 So there can be sinning many times, but you move away from that. But if they have sinned against you already, you must forgive. You must forgive.
16:30 Cannot hold anything. Why? Because it will harm you. That’s why Jesus is so clear.
16:34 He’s not concerned about the other person who’s sinning. In this particular statement when he’s talking to you. He’s concerned for you because he loves you.
16:42 He doesn’t want you to be harmed with all this, he wants you to forgive. So forgive and forgive and forgive in Jesus name. By the power of Jesus Christ, you’ll forgive for your own sake.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 7th of March 2016 not worthy of Jesus Christ Part 2 Brothers and sisters, this is a topic that is extremely important to our well being, to each of our well being to have a good life. This is a critical scripture. It is an important scripture.
00:22 It is not just a scripture about eternal life. Next. Yes, eternal life is there, but it’s not just about eternal life.
00:31 It’s also about life on earth, how we live our life on earth, how we live righteousness, peace and joy. How we’ll have power against Satan, how we get protection from Jesus Christ, how His blood will protect us because and how we love Jesus Christ. If you love me, keep my commandments.
00:52 And this is love. Walking in his commandments. Jesus Christ has defined what loving him is.
01:01 The problem is human beings, we have all kinds of thinking because our hearts and minds are polluted. Our hearts are treacherously wicked, desperately wicked. He says, wicked.
01:14 So now, just because we are born again, we are born again in the spirit, our spirit, man is born again. But our mind and our heart, our heart is still wicked. And every area of our heart has to be changed from glory to glory by applying the power of Jesus Christ, the name of Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ, and by looking at His Word, meditating on His Word and to see what our heart should be.
01:44 And that is done, Jesus says, by being renewed in the spirit of our mind, in the spirit of our mind. Now, the mind is a spirit. Why the brain is.
01:57 You can see the brain. Anybody dies, an autopsy will show they can take out the brain and show you what the brain looks like. But the mind, that is the thing that operating in the brain is in the spirit world.
02:11 It’s in the spirit plane, the spirit, the spirit world. Now it can only be done with the spiritual power. What is happening to the mind? Our mind is.
02:25 The world is every day telling things. The world is teaching us all kinds of things. It is not the word of God.
02:32 It’s not Jesus Christ who is telling us everything every day unless we go to him. Unless you submit to him and willing to accept His Word. That is why one sentence, Jesus says, you do not understand.
02:45 He told people, you do not understand because you do not accept My Word. You do not understand because you do not accept My Word. So if you do not accept the word of Jesus Christ, the written word of God, then you will not understand.
03:02 First you must accept. This is the reverse order, you know, the world will tell you, oh, understand, understand. And then only you can do and all that.
03:13 No, this in the spirit world, that is the physical world. In the physical world you have to understand and then only do in the spiritual world. You accept the Creator who created you.
03:25 If he says this is if I told myself, if he says the world is black, even though my eyes are seeing they are white, I will still say it’s black. Because he is spirit. He created me.
03:37 He knows everything. I do not know. In fact, I do not know even something properly.
03:44 Because our mind will be knowing what our mind has been taught by the physical world, what our mind has been taught, we are learning from the physical world. But he is spirit and he is dealing with the spirit issues. Satan is the is a spirit being.
04:01 He’s not everywhere. He’s a spirit being. But of course, he got billions of demons everywhere.
04:07 He are me. But they have no power if I use the power of Jesus Christ. So I have to use the power of Jesus Christ.
04:14 And the power of Jesus Christ will only be there in me to control myself. If I deny myself and pick up the cross daily. He says, now let’s remember that word.
04:24 Matthew 10:38. He who does not take up his cross and follow me daily, he is not worthy of me. He is not worthy of me.
04:36 Brothers and sisters, this alone must be enough to frighten our wicked heart and mind to obey Jesus Christ. When you buy a car, let us say somebody bought a new car, it will come with a manual. The maker of the car, whatever brand it is, they’ll give you a manual for the car.
04:56 And if the manual says you pour an engine oil of this type, but you decide, no, I do not want to pour engine oil this type. I’ll pour whatever oil I want because it’s convenient for me. I cannot run to the shop and buy.
05:09 I can use a coconut oil and pour there. I can use a palm oil and pour there. Whatever the engine will go.
05:16 Same story here. If he says deny yourself means deny your flesh. Whatever your body wants that is against the word of God, you cannot agree.
05:27 Whatever your heart wants against the word of God, you cannot agree. You who your spirit being, your spirit man, cannot agree. You do not agree with your heart.
05:35 Your mind is thinking one way and the word of God is saying something else. God says, demolish every height thought that exalts itself above the word of God. That means everything.
05:52 Every thinking that is above the word of God. He said, destroy it. Because I’m bringing it under the Word of God.
06:01 Bring it subject to the Word of God. Bring it in obedience to the Word of God. That is why if you go and listen to the people in the world or people who, even Christians who are not denying themselves picking up the cross, they may say they’re Christians, they must have accepted Jesus Christ.
06:17 But if they’re not denying themselves and picking up the cross daily, then Jesus says, you’re not worthy of me. Now, if you are mixing with such people only, what will happen? Nobody will be denying themselves picking up the cross. But if you’re mixing with people who are denying themselves, who are wanting to deny themselves, who are willing to deny themselves and pick up the cross by using the power of Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ, the name of Jesus Christ, then we are mixing with those people.
06:46 Obviously you too will be denying yourself. But if you’re missing with people just because they say themselves are Christians and they do whatever they want, what the world wants, what the world thinking, their heart thinking, their mind thinking, they begin to do without denying themselves and picking up the cross in line with the word of God. When you deny yourself means whatever you want which is not in line with the word of God.
07:09 You get rid of it. And easy to get rid of it in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of Jesus Christ, by meditating on the word of Jesus Christ, by worshipping Jesus Christ, by submitting yourself to Jesus Christ, you can deny yourself. Otherwise your heart, mind and your flesh is not going to allow you now.
07:27 But it needs practice. For instance, you must now take control of your body and your heart and mind in your spirit man. Your spirit man is alive, given life by Jesus Christ when you accepted him.
07:40 The blood of Jesus washes away our sins and our spirit man, which was dead in sin, is now alive. Now brothers and sisters, now you take control. How you have to practice.
07:54 You begin to deny things that your body always wants. For instance, the body wants. I used to do what when I went to some place and I’ve not gone there for several months.
08:04 And there I know some particular noodle is so good, I will then deny it. Because I say, look here, I want to practice controlling my body. The body.
08:12 You’re not going to have this. Because I would love that particular noodle. And I hardly come damage.
08:17 But still I’ll eat something else in the shop to teach this body. I am the boss. You are not going to control me anymore.
08:24 Why? The body was controlling me. Whatever it wanted. Sexual immorality, it wanted.
08:29 I will do. Sexual immorality, want I will do. I don’t want to drink booze.
08:34 I will just drink and drink and drink whatever the body wants to do. Whatever my heart wants will do. Whatever my mind thinking I will do.
08:42 And that was destroyed me or finished? Almost finished. Completely destroyed. It’s only by the mercy of Jesus Christ.
08:49 A new life was given to me by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the husband of my soul, who took compassion on me and showed mercy on me. Brothers and sisters, you must start practicing this, otherwise you’re not worthy of Jesus Christ. Now these people don’t want to talk like this because they believe people won’t come to church, they will leave the Christ.
09:11 Hey, when people don’t want to come to church and leave Christ, they’re not leaving me. They’re not leaving you, they’re leaving Christ. It is for Christ to deal with it.
09:20 You think I am Christ? No, I’m just a person taking the word of God has convicted by the spirit of God. I teach this every morning. But this is critical.
09:32 Churches are not, they may say passing, you know, anybody not denying themselves because of cross daily is not worthy of me. And they may quote that, but they will not sit and begin to provoke you, to make you think and follow this word, to make you provoke your mind and heart to think, hey, this is dangerous. How am I going to have a good life here if I’m not worthy of him? How am I going to get the blessings from Jesus Christ? How am I going to have peace in Jesus Christ? How am I going to be able to do things and get the good life that Jesus Christ has promised here on earth? You know, righteousness, peace and joy here on earth and then eternal life and become co rulers.
10:15 If you are not worthy of him, how ask yourself. Be truthful. Be truthful.
10:23 Today yesterday I was telling somebody it’s ridiculous to go and say I want to stop drinking and go buy beers. It be ridiculous. It’s going to stop smoking and buy cigarettes.
10:34 It will be ridiculous. You want to stop smoking or drinking and be with people who are drinking and smoking? You better be with people who are denying themselves. Picking up the cross.
10:44 You better start having the word of God repeatedly in your heart. In the name of Jesus Christ. Heart I command you.
10:50 Mind I command you. Flesh, I command you to know that I must deny myself and pick up the cross. Anything against the word of God, I will not do by the power of Jesus Christ.
11:01 Because I want to be worthy of Jesus Christ. I want to be worthy of Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, this is critical.
11:09 And that is why a wishy washy Christianity has come about. A lukewarm Christianity has come about And God says what Jesus says, spit him out. Lukewarm.
11:19 This is the lukewarm Christianity. Sometimes they tell you, you know lukewarm Christianity. If you’re luke, neither warm or cold, as pity up they will say in passing.
11:28 But they will not relate it to this scripture. Anyone who does not take up the cross and follow him daily is not worthy of it. This is so important.
11:40 You better tell your heart and mind this. Because then you can control your heart and mind. Why your spirit mind must rise up and know there are consequences.
11:51 Now all of us suffer. Then only we came to Christ anyway. Different sufferings.
11:57 I was finished and I was terrible amount of sins. I had even blasphemed Jesus Christ. I used whole letter word from Jesus Christ.
12:05 And yet finally by default, I couldn’t go anywhere. The only solution I was seeing was all doors were shut. Already finished.
12:12 I had to go to Jesus to give me life, to give me peace. Brothers and sisters, take this word seriously. If you want to follow Jesus Christ and you want the good life, the righteousness of peace and joy, the health in Jesus Christ, follow this word seriously.
12:32 For instance, if you food gluttony. Gluttony is sin. That’s greed.
12:38 Everything you want, you just eat. And now we know so much of news and information are coming about fast food. Fast food is not food anymore.
12:49 Fast food, they do all kinds of things. Instead of actual particular food, they put just a flavoring of the food. Some chemical composition is put in the food.
12:58 But if you want a particular fast food. I want fast food. I want fast food.
13:02 I only want to drink aerated water. I want carbonated drink carbonated because I’m thirsty. I’m thirsty.
13:08 You better deny yourself and pick up the cross, because otherwise you’re not worthy of him. Now, by denying yourself from fast food, denying yourself from carbonated drinks, you command your heart and mind and body to reject these things. You can command your body to hate carbonated drink, to reject it when you drink it.
13:26 Oh, I don’t like it. You can command it. I don’t like it.
13:28 You can command your body to hate cigarettes. You can command your body to hate drinking booze. You can command your body to hate anything that is not of God.
13:40 And you begin to then command it. And your body will after a while, every day you’re commanding in Jesus name. I command my body to hate cigarettes.
13:48 In the name of Jesus Christ. I command my body to hate liquor. I command it.
13:49 I command my body in the name of Jesus Christ to reject and hate fast food. In the Name of Jesus Christ. I command my body to hate carbonated dreams.
14:04 You continue every day. Every now and then you begin to meditate. And I want to be worthy of my Jesus Christ, who suffered for me.
14:11 Why I must be worthy for him, of him? Because he suffered for us. Are you rejecting the suffering? Don’t you even care that he suffered for you? And then he’s clearly written it down. If you do not take up your cross and deny yourself, deny yourself whatever your body wants.
14:28 Now the other areas. I want my way in the home. You may be the husband and you’ve been having your way.
14:34 I used to have my way. After that, when I born again, God convicted me. So many things I was doing wrong.
14:41 Then I become kind. I become loving. I become understanding.
14:48 I become accepting. Letting it go, not forcing my will. I become grateful for my wife.
14:55 I become grateful for my children. Because I deny myself. Started denying myself first.
15:03 Because at the time, not thinking, before I born again, I’m not thinking anymore. I’m only imposing my will. I decide what I want.
15:10 I decide this is how it should be. And that’s how it should be. Demonize.
15:14 I was demonized. Brothers and sisters, understand this. If you want your way, your way, your way.
15:19 You’re not worthy of Jesus Christ. And your way will harm you. It has already harmed you or me too much.
15:27 Why are we not denying ourselves? Picking up the cross, This a critical thing. Please, please, please. Deny yourself.
15:35 Not your way anymore. Anybody accusing you explain what you are doing and this and that. Willing to explain, but they don’t want to listen.
15:44 And they still want to go for you. You cry out to Jesus Christ, you do not take action against them. You do not become vengeance.
15:50 Vengeance is his. You do not apply vengeance. You do not become revengeful to them.
15:56 You must still love them. And that is denying yourself. Deny yourself what your heart wants.
16:02 No. I would like action. I’ll fix them.
16:04 I used to be dead. Anybody want to do something, I’ll fix them first. Why? Because I won’t allow.
16:10 I want, not made. Who are you? That kind of thing. Now let it go.
16:14 As soon as I become born again. No, I just want to let it go. Let it go.
16:17 So I say, Lord Jesus, Mercy, Lord. Mercy, Lord. Mercy, Lord.
16:21 Then later, when I know the blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus. And let it go. Let it go.
16:25 Let it go. Trust Jesus Christ, the husband of your soul. He can protect you a million times better than you can protect yourself.
16:30 He can protect you a million times better than any human being can protect you. He can do things for you a million times better. He’ll keep your life better and better.
16:43 Now those who want to take it in their own hands ended up with more problems. Somebody said, no, I’ll defend myself. And then they going to hurt somebody and end up in jail.
16:52 Brothers and sisters, today deny yourself and pick up the cross. Otherwise you are not worthy of Him. And you use his blood, your power he gave you to do it.
