Ephesians 5:22-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord.
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body.
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as protector and their responsibility to God as head of the house].
Titus 2:4-5 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be self-controlled, chaste, good managers of the household, kind, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.
Ephesians 5:33 New King James Version (NKJV)
33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Ephesians 5:25-29 New King James Version (NKJV)
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 23rd of October 2015 titled Mary in the Lord Mary in the Lord which Lord? Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Alpha and Omega. I am that I am. I am the Ancient of days.
00:25 Oh he so many names is God the Prince of Peace Mary in the Lord Mary in the Lord Jesus Christ I’m reading from the Catholic version. 1 Corinthians 7:39 1st Corinthians 7:39 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition 39. A wife is bound as long as a husband lives.
00:47 But if the husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, only in the Lord. Now this only in the Lord. It doesn’t just apply to the person who was married and then the husband died and widowed to marry, but only in the Lord.
01:00 But actually anyone, any one of us marrying should marry only in the Lord. But the problem is this in the Lord Jesus Christ. The problem is this.
01:10 First Corinthians 7:39. Oh sorry brothers. Yeah, this one is.
01:15 I’m quoting from the easy read version. 1 Corinthians 7:39. Easy read version.
01:19 A woman should stay with her husband as long as she needs. But if the husband dies, the woman is free to marry any man she wants, but he should belong to the Lord. Belong to the Lord in the Lord means the man should belong.
01:31 It applies to the woman also. The man who’s marrying must marry the one who belongs to the Lord. After that I come across the problem verse Jeremiah 79, Jeremiah 79.
01:44 I’m reading from King James Version. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.
01:51 Who can know it? Brothers and sisters, I’m quoting the Old Testament here, but this is the status what God is saying not for us to do something here. It’s talking about what’s the condition of our heart. Now the Old Testament God clearly said is ministry of death.
02:12 The New Testament is ministry of life. So when he has quoted here, the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? Under the Old Testament men couldn’t overcome this.
02:24 But under the New Testament after Jesus Christ died and rose again and he gave us power, power over everything, to trample on snakes and scorpions, power over Satan, power over our own selves, power over our own self seeking hearts. We have power over our hearts now in the name of Jesus Christ. So the condition of the heart I’m quoting from Jeremiah, Old Testament.
02:44 But the solution is in Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, before I go further, I must tell you something so that there’s no mistake here. He said marry in the Lord.
02:54 He’s not talking about Mary. Anglican, Protestant, Methodist, Catholic. Esther.
03:01 Establishment of God, this church that judge. No, no, no. Marrying in the Lord Jesus Christ.
03:09 Now, brothers and sisters, when I start talking anything, I’m talking to you. What has happened to me and explaining this so that all will be blessed. If they want to follow.
03:19 No, I can’t. Nobody can force anybody to follow. No forcing here.
03:24 Why? Because each one has a choice to make. God has given each one a will, and each of us will make a choice. But once you begin to understand the precepts of the Creator, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
03:37 Everything was created by him, for him. Through him you begin to understand what he’s saying and you begin to accept it. And you begin to want him follow it.
03:44 You begin to want to follow. Only all power will come and you’ll overcome and have a great life. Great life.
03:51 You’ll have enough money and survival and all that. Enough. More than enough, actually.
03:56 But if you have given a lot, you might understand. If you have given millions, you may understand. It doesn’t belong to you.
04:02 It belongs to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Why you have decided to follow him, then? Everything surrendered to him. Everything belongs to him, including my own life.
04:13 If you take that way, then you know these funds are here for you to be a good steward, to be a caretaker for Jesus Christ. So I will not consider you a millionaire, billionaire, whatever. I will not consider you that.
04:26 If you’re a Christian, if you have millions, I will not consider you a millionaire. I’ll just consider you as. As a custodian, as a caretaker of God’s fund.
04:34 And you are a brother in Christ, just like I am a brother in Christ with you. Now, brother, yesterday, we are talking about marrying marriages. Now today, God is leading me to.
04:47 Spirit of God, leading me to talk about marrying the Lord. Now, whatever I say, don’t take any condemnation because I suffered like that. I also did all this rubbish.
04:56 Now let’s take this first statement. Marrying in the Lord. As I said, it’s not a denomination.
05:03 It’s not marrying in any saint, Saint Apostle Paul, Saint John, or whatever. We are marrying in the Lord Jesus Christ. You can be in any congregation, but then there are people in congregations in certain denominations or any denomination.
05:18 They may not be in the Lord. You yourself may not be in the Lord. Until you begin to understand that until you surrender everything to Lord Jesus Christ.
05:27 Now we too, my wife and I, we were not in the Lord. My brothers and sisters, we were some kind of. I was terrible, you know, I was terrible.
05:38 I was not even really doing anything. My wife was quite religious. But brothers and sisters, being religious doesn’t mean you are in the Lord.
05:47 Being religious is implicit. You are being religious. Being in the Lord means you have power to cast out evil spirits.
05:56 You begin to get you fear of the Lord. You love the Lord Jesus Christ by willing to keep his commandments. His commandments are a prescription for our safety.
06:05 It’s clearly defined in Hebrews. It’s a prescription. Prescription.
06:09 It’s authoritative prescription by Jesus Christ given for our safety and all that. Now brothers and sisters, we spend so much of money, time and energy in preparing for weddings and marriages. There will be all kinds of dress before the wedding dress, during the wedding dress, after the wedding dress is the reception.
06:31 Reception is this way, that way. Now people are spending money, going overseas, taking pictures this way, that way. Thousands are being spent.
06:37 But we are not putting on Jesus Christ. When we don’t put on Jesus Christ. The devil knows that you’re not in the Lord and he knows how to get you.
06:47 Now when I married, now when I. Before I married now I was just after STPM or in our assignment, HSC High school certificate and I did qualifications. Later while I’m working, I got extra degrees and whatnot, professional qualification and whatnot. But while just when I was 19, just after.
07:14 No, I was 18 plus after HSC I confessed my love for my wife, for my future wife. I loved her, but I had nothing. I was jobless.
07:31 I’m looking for a job. I loved her. I had plans, I have wishes, I have dreams.
07:36 I owe my wife. How my future wife and I will bring up a family, how children will be. All the dreams I’ll think about.
07:47 But you know what? The Bible is clear. My heart was deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Why I want my dreams.
07:58 It’s all about me now, brothers and sisters, every one of us is like this. So don’t when I tell you, please look at this, don’t think I was not like that. I was also like that.
08:07 I’m not condemning you now. What then happens? So what happens when I’m married? We’re married. Actually we love each other very much.
08:14 But we forget because we are not in the Lord. We are just professing some religious activity and we talk about Jesus Christ here and there. Maybe at that time Then I become desperately wicked, terribly wicked.
08:26 Become violent. Not against my wife, outside I will fight and all. And my wife.
08:30 My wife is scared of me. So I come back, just keep quiet. Because I can cut her with my words.
08:35 So I didn’t have to. I never used the violence on her, but I used words on her. But that is what God says.
08:40 Terrible. My words can murder people. The God said, you do these words and you are murdering people, destroying lives.
08:47 My children were terribly frightened. And then. So how did happen worse so much.
08:54 And then went into all this sexual immorality and all. How did it happen? Because our hearts are desperately wicked. Now we get work.
09:01 Now my wife had nothing. Also I already had no job. Then when I got a job, then I married her.
09:08 Got a job, could provide for her. I married her. Now as I begin to move up in the world, who is blessing me? There’s one segment I wrote.
09:15 The devil is blessing. The devil is blessing me. Because I was not following Jesus, I was not following God.
09:15 The devil is blessing me. So then the desire comes. Oh, now I’m fine.
09:27 It comes. You don’t even think about it. It just desperately your heart begins to work against it.
09:32 Now this is a problem. For instance, if you do not marry in the Lord. Now I’m not even condemned.
09:40 I already told I was not in the Lord. My wife is not in the Lord. She was seriously religious, Catholic, but not in the Lord.
09:47 In the Lord is a different thing. In the Lord means you obey Jesus Christ and Christ only first. First Jesus Christ and Christ only.
09:55 He’s the creator, the husband of your soul and all that. Only then the rest of the religious activities can take place. But if religious activities take place before Jesus Christ, it’s not going to cut it.
10:06 It’s not going to work. Now so what happens? How did this change? Because we discount the devil. The devil come and tempt your heart.
10:16 The devil first of all gives me devil’s blessing coming and the devil come and tempt my heart. And then my heart begins to love these things and all. And begin to go and start with meetings and entertainment after the office hours.
10:28 And we entertain people or even in business meetings, this and that. Step by step, our heart destroyed, destroying ourselves. And then it became like this.
10:37 Become a messed up marriage. Really now that is why it is sad to see so much effort being spent on the external issues of marriage, but not internal issues of being in the Lord. Now those of us who already married not in the Lord.
10:54 If supposing you are in the Lord, you would not have Married otherwise, other than in the Lord. I’m telling you because you’re in the Lord means you will go to Jesus Christ and ask who to marry. And then Jesus Christ will tell you who it is and lead you.
11:10 And first you will mold yourself. You will mold your. I’ll come to these husbands and wives.
11:16 One commander is when you marry, the Lord says, my body. My wife has authority over my body and her body. I have authority over her body.
11:26 Now the segment I made wives have authority over the husband’s body. Go and listen to this thing because it’s quoted from Scripture. Now, can you imagine if somebody is getting married, say from today? Brother, when you marry, from today, your wife has authority over your body.
11:42 Really? Why? How? You see now if you don’t accept the wife has authority over your body, you’re not in the Lord in marrying and you’re not going to conduct it. Not in the Lord. Now that means.
11:53 That’s why I told in the segment. I said, when my wife. After that, when I came following the Lord, Lord told me about the Scripture and told me, look here.
12:01 So when my wife said, I want you here, actually she means my body. He wants my body here. Spirit means I can sit from wherever inside and pray for her.
12:09 She want me come home, I need you somewhere. Means I must take my body. Because I’m not my body.
12:12 I must take my body and come there. Friends, this is critical. You know, there are commands.
12:19 For instance, how a husband should love the wife. I’ll come to that in another segment. If I begin to put all that from the scriptures, you’ll see impossible to do.
12:29 True, but you can do it in Jesus Christ. Now, if a woman is interested in marrying, marry, and then she just married someone who’s not in the Lord, he won’t listen to the Scriptures. But then many people are marrying outside the Lord, but because they themselves may be outside the Lord.
12:48 They may be in a congregation. Protestant, Anglican, Methodist, Catholicism, Assemblies of God or whatever. But you may be in the congregation.
12:59 Including the congregation. The one I’m pastoring, you can be there. But.
13:03 But you may be outside the Lord because you got to be inside the Lord. So anyone marrying the fact, when people say, okay, in the church, I got two people, let’s get them married. Just because a person is in the congregation, you’re married, thinking they are Christians.
13:18 Not true. If they are not in the Lord, they will not obey the Lord Jesus Christ’s commands on how the man should treat the wife. And they will not have the power to overcome their heart and mind to treat the wife the way Lord Jesus Christ has said in his word, no power.
13:37 Only when you start casting out evil spirits, fear. Get out. Temptation.
13:41 Get out in the name of Jesus Christ. Sexual spirit of sexual immorality. Get out the name of Jesus Christ.
13:46 Oh Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ. Cast out everything, every hatred. Unforgiveness.
13:52 I cast out in the spirit of. In the name of Jesus Christ. I cast out the spirit of unforgiveness.
13:56 You begin to do all this off and on, off and on because these things attack us from time to time and you sense it. Then in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to love my wife the way Jesus Christ has ordained it. Now you begin to do this.
14:11 If a person does all this, then he is able to love his wife the way Jesus Christ has said. And likewise the woman, the wife can love the husband and submit to the husband. Just because the woman is in some congregation and in some prayer warrior group doesn’t mean she is in the Lord.
14:28 She may be there doing her own thing. I’m a prayer warrior. Pride, pride, pride.
14:34 Cut that pride. The devil knows. If you say I’m a prayer warrior and you begin to pray and this and that and other people are talking.
14:40 She’s the great prayer warrior. She’s a great prayer warrior. And you enjoy that statement, then you got a reward here already.
14:46 There’s no reward in heaven. Jesus said when you pray, pray in the closet, don’t pray so much so people want that you are praying so that people admire you and love you and all you accept it and all don’t have reward with Jesus Christ. Your reward is already given from these people.
15:02 So that woman may be a so called prayer warrior, but she may not be in the Lord. Let me first start with humbleness. Humbleness to the word of God.
15:10 Humbleness to the word of God. And grace will come if she’s not humble to the word of God only. Prayer warrior.
15:19 Prayer warrior. Casting out, casting out prayer warrior. This happens in number of denominations.
15:20 Casting out, casting out. Prayer warrior. And then they say, oh okay, let the Holy Spirit presence fall.
15:29 And that only there every time you know. But life not changing heart is not changing. Submission to Jesus Christ.
15:36 Loving your neighbor as yourself is not there. No, it’s not there. But prayer warrior, brothers and sisters, you ain’t no prayer warrior.
15:44 You’re not going to work it. You please first submit to the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the husband of your soul. And he will direct your steps.
15:53 He will direct your steps. Now what happened? The fight. The devil came tempted.
15:59 And my heart. Oh, soul. My heart starts with our hearts.
16:02 Our dishful hearts start. And then we follow and mess up. And Jesus Christ in the mercy, complete mercy.
16:10 Merciful, loving Jesus Christ saved me, saved my wife, put us all together. We have a family now. We live peacefully.
16:20 Peacefully, brothers and sisters, and joyfully. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. I pray that God will lead me to talk more about this in future segments.
16:23 In the name of Jesus Christ, be blessed. Have the peace of Jesus Christ. Today, in obedience to the word of Jesus Christ, I release the spirit of obedience to all of us to obey and love Jesus Christ with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, Today the Power of Christ Daily 22 October 2015 titled Ask and Receive Marriage ASK and Receive Marriage before we go into the issues that affect us, we look at some scriptures that are fundamental, that are foundational, that need for our heart to understand and believe completely. If we can make our heart and also renew our mind, the Spirit, renew our mind in the Spirit. In the Spirit.
00:35 We must renew our mind to know that this is the truth, this is the word of God. And Jesus Christ cannot lie. He loves us.
00:42 He died on the cross for us. Nobody else died on the cross for us. Nobody has allowed himself.
00:47 He allowed himself to suffer for us. He gave Himself up. So people torture him, tear his skin to ribbons, tear his face even.
00:56 And the Bible says he was on the cross, hanging there without form, that means he cannot recognize. People dare not look up at him. People dare not look up.
01:07 It is too gruesome, too gruesome. And yet in that condition, he says, forgive them, Father. They know not what they do.
01:15 He is saying from the cross, forgive them, Father. They know not what they do. And he dies, goes into the hell for three days and rises up again.
01:24 Because his faith in his Father held completely. And he was sinless. And his blood is pure and sinless.
01:32 Blood that washes away our sins. And he has taken our sins on the cross with him, took to hell. He went to hell, so I don’t have to go to hell.
01:41 He came up again. These are the things we have to keep meditating to know that how much he loves us. He loves us, he loves us so much.
01:50 But we can only receive. Or he can only release it, or he has already released it. But we can only connect it and receive.
01:57 If we come to him with the heart that is wanting, we want to come to him. And willing to obey, willing, willing to forgive. Because many times we cannot forgive.
02:10 Many times we cannot forgive. Because somehow, when we cannot forgive, many times the spirit of unforgiveness would have captured us. And that is another wicked, unclean spirit that causes so much of diseases, so much of diseases, so much.
02:24 So one of the main diseases now normal worldly medical science is saying it’s caused also by unforgiveness, cancer. Cancer is caused by this. So they assign the psychiatrist or psychologist to release your unforgiveness.
02:37 But if the spirit of unforgiveness, of God, people can say in their mouth, I forgive, I forgive, I forgive. But actually their heart is not forgiven. Their heart is unable to forgive.
02:47 So even when you come to Christ. Tell the truth. Lord Jesus, I want to forgive.
02:51 Because if I do not forgive, Father God will not forgive me. That’s the truth. Brothers and sisters, there are many segments I’ve written about this forgiveness.
03:00 Father God clearly says, if you do not forgive, I will not forgive you. Jesus says, no, my Father will not forgive you. Now many times we want to forgive somebody.
03:10 Remember, you only must want to forgive. Willing to forgive. Willing to obey Jesus commandments.
03:15 Willing, only willing, willing. And even that if your heart is not willing, you can command your heart in Jesus name. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart to be willing to love Jesus Christ.
03:28 To be willing to obey Jesus Christ. To be willing to forgive all. To be willing.
03:33 Lord Jesus Christ, in your love I walk. I walk in your love. Daily I must walk in your love.
03:42 I will love all. I will love God. Brothers and sisters, these are fundamentals.
03:46 Now let’s look at some scripture regarding receiving and asking and receiving that why, if we can command our heart and mind, make our heart believe. You are made of three parts. Brothers and sisters, you are a spirit being.
03:58 You are a spirit man and sisters, I am telling you, you are a body that looks like a woman. That is a womanly body. But your spirit is a spirit.
04:07 Father God’s spirit is a male spirit. Father God’s spirit in you. Your body is womanly.
04:11 The the man is manly body. Together they form a union. And from there they live a life and have a family that glorifies Jesus Christ.
04:23 But your heart, your soul, where the heart and mind is, is a soul. And this soul, God says our hearts are treacherously wicked. So all this we must remember when things are going wrong.
04:35 My heart is doing it. I’m not doing it. I’m born again.
04:38 Jesus Christ is in me. Jesus Christ is in me. Oh, my heart is doing this.
04:43 So we begin to deal with the heart, brothers and sisters, Today first scripture I’m reading is Hebrews 11:6. He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Now I think this particular scripture speaks for itself.
04:58 Jesus Christ will reward us if we diligently seek him. If you don’t diligently seek him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, you don’t want to seek him, then he cannot reward you. The reward won’t come.
05:12 That’s it. What to do? So what we do, oh, our heart may not want to do. Our body will be too tired and lazy.
05:19 So in the name of Jesus Christ, we command our heart and mind to know that this scripture in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know that Jesus Christ rewards me when I diligently seek him. I must seek him and everything, everything. Small things, as I said yesterday, car parks, you seek him, you call on his name, simple things.
05:41 You seek him. Bus going to be late, rain going to thaw on your clothes that are dry. You seek him, seek him.
05:49 Or feel something going wrong. Oh, you’re sitting in a meeting and something is going wrong. And you can sense the spirit, they all doing something and they’re trying to accuse you or something.
06:00 Then the time you begin to shake, your heart is beginning to shake. Then you know false accusation or they are trying to blame you for something that’s gone wrong, whatever. Or they’re trying to rob you of your, of your right, maybe some promotion, something.
06:14 And you’re shaking the first of all, you’re shaking the fears. Come, I call this a toilet break. Just excuse yourself and say I need to go to the ladies, I need to go to the gems.
06:23 You go there and begin to command in the name of Jesus Christ. I combine and break every spirit of fear and confusion here. In the name of Jesus Christ, get out of me.
06:30 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command the spirit of fear to get out of me and not to return. And then in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart to love them all. To love them all in the room, to love them, Lord, I must love my enemy even in the name of Jesus Christ.
06:46 Lord, I cannot do this by myself. I want to love them. Make me love them, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ.
06:53 You make me, Lord, to love them all. And then you do the breath of God. You begin to do the breath of God.
06:58 Receive the breath of God. And then all these are segments, brothers and sisters, those who have not go back, get a list, go to the graceoflife.com There’s a section there. Go look at the list or ask the moderators, they’ll give you.
07:11 And then you begin to listen to these segments. These are critical daily living. Daily living, brothers and sisters.
07:18 Daily living with God who wants to settle you. Jesus Christ loves you. He wants to settle your daily living.
07:24 Then you begin to go back to the room. And before you go bedroom, you command because you have authority. You see the power Jesus Christ has given you.
07:32 Those who believe in my name, he said spread the gospel. And those who believe my name, they will cast out evil spirits in my name. This sign will follow.
07:41 Now, before going back to the room you put standing in the toilet, you command Everything in this room in the name of Jesus Christ. Get out. Everything that’s not of Christ.
07:51 Get out of the room. I bind and break. Every spirit of fear, confusion, Every spirit of lies and deceit.
07:53 Every spirit of envy and self seeking and jealousy. I bind and break your holes. Get out of the room.
08:05 In Jesus name. Everything. Every spirit that’s not of Christ, not of God.
08:09 In this room, leave. Leave. And every spirit that is any person there which is not of God.
08:16 You will cringe and stay where you are. You will stay in the body. Because they might have made some covenants.
08:21 I don’t care what covenants each of them made. But I am a child of God. In the name of Jesus Christ.
08:27 I have authority over you, wicked uncle. Therefore, in the name of Jesus Christ, you. You will cringe and stay.
08:35 You will not move. And Lord, I release. In the name of Jesus Christ.
08:39 I release a spirit of peace into this room. Into the meeting room. I release a peace into this meeting room in the name of Jesus Christ.
08:49 Be the calmness and get away from all self seeking. In the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind not to have any self seeking and envy at all.
08:59 And envy. Get out. Spirit of self seeking and envy.
09:01 Get out of me. In Jesus name I receive love and I’ll go with love. Brothers and sisters, such prayers.
09:08 After they’re done, they go back. The room has changed. This is true because they ask Jesus Christ and they receive it.
09:15 They ask Jesus Christ and they receive it. Brothers and sisters, this is what we must come to know. This is true now.
09:17 Brothers and sisters, today the next thing next scripture is Romans 8:32. Romans 8:32. He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all.
09:33 How shall he not with him freely give us all things? This is a fundamental scripture. Romans 8:32. Why wouldn’t Father God give us all things freely and graciously? Some translation will say freely and graciously give us all things.
09:49 When he did not even spare his own son, Jesus Christ. He gave Jesus Christ up for us. Gave him up for us.
09:58 You think Father God didn’t know that? This whole process is. They’ll have to torture him. They will have to nail him on the cross.
10:03 He’ll have to go to hell and come down, come up again. And Jesus has died first for us. He has to be tortured like that.
10:10 Father God knew. Jesus knew. But Father God said, son, go and do this and he’s willing.
10:16 Father God wanted Jesus with him because he’s the Word. He’s the Word of God, he is with Father God, he is one with him. Jesus was one with Father God in the heavens.
10:26 And Father God didn’t want to let his son go, but he let him go for us. And Jesus Christ of course didn’t want to go and suffer like that. But he decided to suffer for us.
10:38 Even though didn’t want. They do. They did.
10:41 Now the question the Bible asking the word of God asking, why wouldn’t he give all things freely and graciously? Graciously freely. Now that brings us to the point of marriage. Always.
10:52 I see some groups will put a list of women who want to get married. And they’ll pray and pray and pray for the women to get married. But nobody checks.
11:01 Never checks. Two things. One, how many women of this group have married after a certain number of months or whatever prayer.
11:10 And after their marriage, how is their marriage? Nobody checks. Nobody wants to check. Because these records actually if you check, you’ll find the marriage may be very big mess.
11:20 Now therefore, remember, if you want to get married, brothers and sisters, Jesus, if you want to get married, Jesus allows. But if you ask Jesus what’s his will for you, now we’ll come to that another day. Because 1516 means nothing here.
11:37 So Paul said, you want to be single like him. Okay. But he also said, this is not the Lord, but him.
11:44 So there are certain things Apostle Paul says that he speaks and not the Lord. He speaks his own walk in life. Walk with God, walk with Jesus.
11:51 Now if you want to get married, first thing, what you must do not. Yes, you can ask and ask and pray. Of course it’s your right to ask and pray.
11:59 You go to your father God. But what you think your father God tells you, your father God, first of all, if you’re a woman, sister, you have imaginations means this kind of man, this kind of Hollywood Bollywood type of own work. Because you’re looking at external things.
12:16 Do you know how many Hollywood Bollywood all divorce and messed up and murders and killings. All kinds of things going on. So what you must ask, let your will be done in the kind of man I must marry, Lord.
12:29 But more importantly, Lord, he wants to give you. But are you ready for the marriage? God will first say, my child, prepare yourself. Prepare yourself for the marriage.
12:41 That means in Proverbs 31. Half of it, the bottom half is about how a woman should be, how a wife should be. Read that.
12:48 You read other scriptures regarding how a wife should be. How a wife should submit to the husband. As you submit unto the Lord.
12:58 When you submit to the Husband, as you are submitting unto the Lord. I mean, you submit as if you are submitting to Jesus Christ. When you submit to your husband, you are submitting to Jesus Christ.
13:06 Now if you are a self willed woman, right now, you are not even submitting to the word of God. Don’t submitting to the word of God. But you are asking God to bring you a husband and then get him married.
13:18 Why would Father God take another child of God, make him marry you when you are not willing to submit even to God’s word? So who brought this man? You ask yourself. The Lord of the world might have brought this man. Because you’re not submitting to God’s word means you’re not willing to submit to God’s word, means you’re not willing to submit to Jesus Christ.
13:40 Means who brought this husband? And can you imagine what kind of marriage would it be? Oh, torture, torture. Many are suffering why they went ahead and married because they do not want to wait for Father God. First of all, when waiting for Father God, Jesus Christ to settle your marriage, you must change.
13:58 You must become the kind of bride you supposed to be. You must become the kind of character spiritually, the character must become like what Jesus wants. A bride, a child, a God, a wife to be, a husband to be.
13:58 You must become like that. Now, if you do not want to submit to Jesus Christ, you will not submit to the husband. And then there will be quarrels, will be and now likewise for the man.
14:25 And you know, if the man is not submitting to God, not submitting the word of God, Jesus Christ. Brother, if you are not prepared to submit to Jesus Christ and his word, which gives us the peace, gives us the prosperity, gives us everything. May you prosper and be in good health as your soul prospers.
14:44 When you prosper, your soul. If, brother, you’re not going to submit to Jesus Christ and obey his word, you will not treat your wife well. It may be for a while, but after that what happens? Mess up.
14:57 That is why when you’re praying brother and sister, first, God wants us to change. So we are praying for marriage. Jesus Christ wants this girl, this child to change, to be the kind of one, then he will settle you, the husband, same thing.
15:12 You must change to the point that you are willing to obey Jesus Christ and care for your wife the way a husband should be. You are seeking all the things about what God wants you to do as a husband. You are practicing it in your mind, renewing the spirit of your mind.
15:27 You are doing all that so as you begin to do all that, as Jesus Christ has said, then you are being perfected by the word of God. As you keep meditating on the word of God, examining yourself wherever you lack as the husband that God wants you to be, the kind of husband God wants you to be wherever you left, then God will change you in that area because Jesus Christ, the word will change us. And we will begin to become that kind of husband God wants us to be.
15:49 And we will begin to become the kind of a wife God wants us to be. And then when you are ready, the thing will happen. But what people are doing, brothers and sisters, put a list and pray, pray, pray, pray.
16:03 And big mess going on. And there are pastors. You know, when I first came to the Lord, I was rather shocked.
16:09 There’s one pastor, number of pastors I know. They’ll ring and talk to the other pastor and say, hey, I have a girl in my church, she write for marriage. And I think you got a boy there.
16:18 They matching match. And then are they going to be there when the marriage is messed up, brothers and sisters, in the name of Jesus Christ. And I’ve seen many marriages make mess up after these pastors have, as not many.
16:32 Several marriages have been. Not many umbrellas. Several marriages messed up after the pastors have made this matchmaking thing.
16:39 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that everyone obeys the word of God from today. In the name of Jesus, amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 21st of October, 2015 titled Ask and Receive. Ask and Receive. I’m sure many of you are interested in this topic.
00:09 Ask and Receive. Now, brothers and sisters, today is a day that we are going to put our faith to work. Your faith to work and starts in small steps.
00:23 Many are not doing this because they do not know they will receive. Many are not doing this because there are a whole lot of reasons because they are not taught to receive. Maybe, maybe you have asked and you didn’t receive.
00:35 So these things we’ll cover in scripture first and then I’m going to give examples of what you can do. And of course, if those examples do not completely suit you, adjust it for your own thing. But there are fundamentals.
00:48 Brothers and sisters, today ask and receive is a powerful thing. You are now a child of God. Now, I’m believing that you’ve been listening to these morning segments for some time.
00:58 And you want to follow Christ. You want to follow Christ. You want to follow.
01:00 You want to please him, you want to obey. You want to keep his commandments. Yes, from time to time you may not be up to the mark.
01:08 And then you call Jesus, Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, you committed some sin because of some testing or whatever and you failed. You ask, sorry Lord, sorry Lord. And mercy and mercy comes.
01:19 But it is not for those who practice sin, who just want to continue sinning. If people want to continue sinning willfully, this won’t work. This won’t work because that’s how the law of God works.
01:31 If you come to him, you want to please your Father, you want to please Jesus Christ. And this will work for anyone and everyone. Anyone and everyone and everyone.
01:42 But it starts small steps to build your faith. You work your faith. Now you get your and get making faith work.
01:45 You work your faith and faith produce a result and you grow from step by step, you grow from case by case and you find that wow, wonderful Jesus Christ did for me. That joy will come. When that joy comes, you know Jesus is real.
02:05 And you begin to ask little things first. Now for the first scripture, I want to just only one scripture I want to use today. Now I’m believing that you will know and remember other things.
02:17 Proud. God opposes a proud. So if you want to be proud, this doesn’t work for you.
02:22 But when I told you when you want to be proud and you’re proud and proud and proud like I was and I was still blessed when I not come to Christ, it was the Devil’s blessing, which finally came sorrow. The devil came to collect. So if you’re proud and proud, I’m proud and you’re doing your own way.
02:37 You don’t want Christ because the whole world is. The ruler of the world is Satan. The whole world is under the sway of Satan.
02:45 Then finally the devil will come to collect. It happened to me, so I’m not condemning anybody here. I’m just telling you what happened to me.
02:52 Brothers and sisters of your suffering away. You better understand and check. Are you proud? And even you’re blessed.
02:57 And we are proud and you’re blessed. It is not from God. Why? Because God gives grace for the humble, to the humble, for the proud.
03:06 He opposes them. He himself said that. So somebody else is giving you things.
03:10 And many times all these will be worldly things. Only worldly things. And so you’re getting worldly things, but no peace in the house.
03:17 You’re still quarreling, everything going on. You are now angry with people. You cannot contain your anger.
03:23 You burst out and all that. But still when you crying out to Lord, Lord, Lord. And something is happening.
03:30 And that’s because the Lord of the world is giving you. So you may not like to hear this, but please do this. Listen to this.
03:36 The word of God is clear grace for the humble. God opposes the proud. And then love your neighbour as yourself.
03:43 Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. And if you do this, you will live.
03:50 So if you don’t love your neighbor and all that and going on as you wish, this is also not for you. So you first settle those things. How then, how then settle those things? Very easy.
04:01 Settle those things that Jesus is asking us to do. Want to love our neighbors, want to care for them. And then when you’re doing something you’re doing, don’t do any wrong anymore.
04:12 You want to please Jesus Christ, you want to let go. You surrendered your will. Not my will, Lord, it’s your will.
04:19 From now on, your will. And what is his will? One of his will is written here very clearly in First John 3:22. First John 3:22.
04:31 Oh, I got an error here. I said 322 and then I’m quoting 18. This I have to check later, brothers and sisters.
04:41 But in 18 it simply says praise Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters. It is actually 3:22.1 John 3:22:18.
04:56 I typed it wrongly. I believe now. Anyway, start again.
05:00 1 John 3:22. Whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do Those things that are pleasing in his sight. I repeat, whatsoever we ask, whatever you know, whatever you ask, if you are a child of God and you want to please him and you want to keep his commandments.
05:24 Oh, but Pastor, I’m not keeping all his commandments. Are you willingly doing sin? No. Good for you.
05:30 You try and you fall. Okay, you want to get out of it, he will bless you. But if you’re practicing sin, you don’t care what he says.
05:39 This cannot. But if you fall into sin from time to time, that can happen. Then you cry out.
05:44 But if you’re falling into sin, the same sin again and again, that means you’re not doing what he’s telling. For instance, if you continue to fall into drunkenness or drinking, don’t drink at all, run away, flee from all semblance evils. If you’re meeting with your friends and you end up getting drunk or whatnot, you cannot take it, then you cannot.
06:03 You have to cut your friends. If you love him, you cut your friends. Oh, don’t want to harm my friends.
06:03 You have to choose. Brothers and sisters. I had to choose.
06:11 I can tell you this. I had to choose and stay away. Why I stay away because I fall into sin.
06:16 Nothing wrong with my friends. Is something wrong with me? So, brothers and sisters, today, whatsoever we ask, we receive of him because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. Are you getting up in the morning and say, this is the husband of my soul, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
06:33 Lord, you are my God. You are the husband of my soul. You are the Lord and master.
06:37 Your will be done, not mine. Move my steps. Lord, take control of my life.
06:42 Holy Spirit, you do what you want with me, I will want to just follow because I trust you, I love you and please you. If that is the case, now we start. I started this way.
06:54 I started a small thing getting a car park, car park, you know, in, in Kuala Lumpur, many times when you go for meetings and all that, you have a problem because some places you really can’t get a car park cannot. And that this is the case with many cities. And believe now, many cities I’ve been to is the same story now.
07:14 So what happens? So I decided I want to build my faith. I decided I’ll believe my God and I’ll begin to pray for car park, a park. So when I’m going, Lord Jesus, I need a car park, Lord, because I’m just in time.
07:28 I got to go to the service or whatever or go and see some soul or Go and see some meeting that I’m still doing the business, you know. So Kaapa will come. Kaapa will come.
07:39 And I thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord. I know it is him.
07:42 Because why in the midst of all that what happens? Suddenly some car will come out. Three, four cars will be in front of me. They all will be going out and I’m coming there.
07:51 This car just coming and I will just stop and the fellow clear. And I will enter and there’ll be other line of cars behind me. How now what happens? There are sometimes many times I get it.
08:02 But there are few times I don’t get. When I don’t get, I simply say, thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord.
08:08 Even the first time I go in around the car park I don’t get. I say thank you Lord Jesus. You don’t need to park here.
08:13 You got the right timing. I trust you Lord, because only you can settle me. And at the same time, Lord, I don’t want to be late.
08:19 Because the command is don’t be late. Love your neighbor as yourself. And I begin to talk these things to myself.
08:24 I may talk audibly, thank you Lord Jesus. I may think God or just think. And there’s another scripture, whatever you ask or think more than that abundantly I’ll do for you.
08:35 Is it whatever you ask or think more than that abundantly I do for you. Now that scripture again, if you just go and put Internet search and see Internet search, just type it there more than you ask or think scripture, it’ll come out. Now what happens sometimes and this happens in a few, couple of this happens regularly, you know, I mean it’s regular, not it’s not a variant, you know, it’s not a one off thing all the time.
09:01 When it doesn’t happen, I simply say he doesn’t want me to park here, there’s something wrong here. Doesn’t want me to park here. Is something wrong here.
09:07 That’s why he pushes me. Because I believe the steps of a righteous man are ordered by God. I’m righteous because of his blood.
09:13 He made me righteous. Now just a couple of weeks ago, even yesterday, yesterday it happened just suddenly the car park turns out. And I my wife and I were laughing and said thank you Lord Jesus.
09:24 We know it is you, Lord, we know it is you. Because in this place, no way it happened that way. I’m just going back up and then more than we asked me what? No, I’m looking for a car park only.
09:35 But the car park, the second round I’m making It comes exactly in the spot right in front where I want to go. And it just comes out so that two years ago I’m looking, I went to minister to a sister with my wife. We going to have lunch and I’m going around.
09:53 One round I put there because I want to see the survey, the place where we can sit for lunch. I just do one round. It’s a very, very busy place called Jamatra Uttama.
10:03 Then after that I said, Lord, I know parking. I was willing to park and walk somewhere and I don’t want to park in the underground because I do not like that long walk from the underground, parking and coming and lift or whatever. So in Jesus name.
10:17 So I. So I told my wife, no Pak, but whatever you ask or think. And I laugh. And just there in front of the sister’s building, the entrance, a car pulls up and that’s it.
10:30 It’s empty. Now brother and sister, same time I said, you don’t have give thanks, give thanks in all things. Now let’s take other examples for a woman.
10:40 A woman, a wife, a mother, a homemaker. Okay. A lot of pressure, a lot of issues.
10:46 Yes. For instance, you went out to. Let’s say I went to the market already coming back.
10:50 Your clothes all are hanging there and you threatening to rain. Threatening the rain. And these many testimonies I’ve heard over the 20 years.
10:58 The women, the sisters will pray. Lord Jesus. Mercy, Lord, let the rain not.
11:04 You know, I have to wash the clothes again. And someone now haze and all the rain come. You still have that actually the acid rain may actually start wearing your clothes.
11:12 And color. Colorsolver run they pray. Mercy, Lord, don’t let the clothes get wet, Lord, I need it, Lord.
11:20 Heartfelt because you know it’s heartfelt because you know it’s really big trouble. And a lot of the whole family is closed. Go there.
11:27 Everywhere may be raining in that place. That particular area where the clothes are all dry. The clothes are gone.
11:32 And then, oh, reaching there and then taking the clothes all out. And then it pours. Cats and dogs, as they say.
11:40 Now another one. A student. A student cannot understand something.
11:44 But you want to please God. You want to please Jesus Christ and everything. And you want to keep his commandment.
11:48 Willing to keep his commandment. Yes, you may fall here and die. You still qualify.
11:51 You still qualify. So don’t say I fell in sin, I sinned yesterday. But did you ask for mercy? Fell into sin? If you are a Christian, immediately you say sorry, Lord Jesus, because there will be something in your Heart telling wrong, wrong.
12:05 You don’t wait for the one week to go confession or something. You ask for forgiveness then and there, then and there. He will forgive you and you don’t do then and there.
12:13 The sin is there, isn’t it? So if you wait only to go confession and you think you’re going to clear, what happens if you die tonight? That’s what God says. What happens if your soul is called tonight? You want to be holy, you want to be clear. And you don’t want to have the sin inside us eating away.
12:32 Sin harms one, sin harms and sin kills. So you want to clear the sin. And that’s what Jesus put.
12:38 You know. Now why did Jesus put this way? Can you imagine? You are in some part of the world, some part of the world where they don’t allow Christianity at all, at all. They won’t allow a Bible to come in.
12:52 Anybody caught with the Bible, they’ll imprison you or whack you or whip you or something. What happens there? What happens there? You couldn’t go to a confession, brothers and sisters, if you go to confession, I’m not telling you do not go to confession. I do not know about those things.
13:08 I’m telling you. Jesus wants you to ask forgiveness. Then, and then, then and then, then and then, then and then why he wants you to be holy all the time.
13:20 So you ask. So now take a brother or sister who’s sitting by exam and can’t understand something. And then you begin to read and read.
13:30 Oh do the breath of God, in the name of Jesus Christ cast out every spirit of stupidity that is attacking you. Every spirit of lies and deceit and confusion and all assessing you. But examine yourself, examine yourself.
13:42 There’s another scripture that says when there’s confusion, you know. How do you know what happens? Confession. God says when there is self seeking and envy, self seeking and envy, confusion, every evil thing is there.
13:56 So make sure there’s no self seeking in you. It’s God seeking you want to do his will. Self seeking and envy.
14:02 Oh, why that person get it? I didn’t get it. All that story. When self seeking and envy is there.
14:08 Self seeking and envy is there. Confusion. Every evil thing is there.
14:12 When every evil thing is there, you cannot make it brother and sister, get rid of this self seeking and envy. No envy. Love all, love all, love all.
14:20 I can’t say. And God loves you. God loves you.
14:22 I can’t say that enough. God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you.
14:25 Now you love all willing to love all that’s all no willing and he will move your steps. Now suddenly after doing the breath of God and all the understanding comes, then you know Jesus Christ has answered you. How did the understanding come? Understanding is the spirit Jesus Christ is released to you.
14:43 Take another case. What case? Okay, somebody is going taking a bus and you are late for some reason. You are late for some reason.
14:51 But of course you are not a slothful lazy person. Never care about. Third, love your neighbor.
14:57 Business always late. You don’t care about time. You don’t care about time.
15:00 Then this won’t work for you. Why you are breaking God’s commandment. He said love your neighbor as yourself.
15:06 Keep time. So you’re every time trying to keep time. You’re keeping time and there are times when you’re unable to for something has happened.
15:14 First of all, if it’s your fault because you’re unable to keep the time, you ask for mercy. Lord Jesus, I’m sorry Lord, I do not want to do the again. Repent means repent.
15:19 I do not want to do this part again. I do not want to do this type again. I don’t want to do.
15:28 I want to do the right thing, Lord. Pleasing in your sight. I want to be the right thing.
15:33 And then you cry out in the name of Jesus Christ. And then at the same time, Lord, I need to keep time. Lord, I need to keep time.
15:40 I’m late Lord, I’m sorry Lord. Mercy Lord. Ask God.
15:44 Think you know. Whatever you ask or think more than that will be done for you. And ask and you’ll receive.
15:48 You’re working your faith and you have to do this working faith regularly. Start with small, start daily. And suddenly you find the bus that you’re supposed to miss or train supposed to miss is is delayed by 12 minutes and you got the bus or take another case every time.
16:05 This happens every time. Whenever I want to do something and then suddenly I’m delayed for some issue, some ministry or whatever. And then I’m crying out to Christ.
16:14 And then I said, Lord, I’m unable to make that meeting tomorrow because something urgent has come before I can say anything. That person will call and say they are unable to make the meeting. I said thank you Lord.
16:26 I will say thank youk brother, no problem, thank you friend, whatever in Jesus name. Test, test, test your faith. Do your faith, ask, ask, start small and it will happen and you will know Jesus Christ is in you and he’s settling you, brothers and sisters.
16:42 This how you grow your faith. Step by step in the name of Jesus Christ. I pray.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 20th of October 2015 Jesus Christ wants you. Jesus Christ wants you. God wants you.
00:13 Yesterday, brothers and sisters, we dealt with knowing the will of God for each of us. And there it was clear. First we must dedicate our bodies as a living sacrifice to Christ.
00:26 Holy, devoted, consecrated, well pleasing to God, which is our reasonable service, which is our spiritual worship. Now in other words, Romans 12:2 in the same teaching yesterday. Do not be conformed to this world and this age, fashioned after and adapted to its eternal superficial customs.
00:48 Eternal and superficial customs caste but be transformed, changed by the entire renewal of your mind, by its new ideals and new attitude as a child of God. So you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God for you. Now brothers and sisters, the two issues here.
01:05 One, we must present our bodies. We must present our souls as chaste virgins unto Christ. Two, we must not be conformed to this world.
01:14 There are other scriptures to say. Love of the world is enmity with God. Anyone loving the way of the world is enemy with God.
01:21 God. So brothers and sisters, you can say you are a Christian. I can say I’m a Christian, but in some aspects I just want to go and follow the world and all that God says.
01:31 You put yourself as enemy of God. Why? The ruler of the world is Satan. The whole world is under the sway of Satan.
01:38 And we already know yesterday we were talking about God doesn’t the 2 days ago I was telling God doesn’t do earthquakes and all. Jesus Christ in the age of dispensation. Now he doesn’t kill people and all that.
01:50 It’s Satan who’s doing it. So anything going wrong in the world, always remember Satan is behind it. He’s getting lives for you.
01:59 Killing lives, creating blood sacrifice. There are many ways he does that. But today one of the ways you know always he causes a lot of accidents and a lot of things.
02:11 Thousands of people die off. Hundreds of people die off all the Satan. Brothers and sisters, do not think God has done this now.
02:20 Satan is doing it because of the ruler of the world. But we must now understand we have Jesus Christ, the ruler of this. He is the ruler of our souls.
02:33 He is a king of kings in our souls, our hearts. He is a bridegroom of our souls. He is my lord and master.
02:42 He will eventually come and rule this entire earth. He’ll take over the earth belongs to him. He’ll take over all the nations will now pay homage to him.
02:51 And we will be co rulers with him we’ll be co rulers with him. It’s very important to understand we are not just leaving this earth. And I said, you know, and then we study, we get degrees or whatever, and then we get great jobs and we’re searching after the money, building houses, getting married, getting children.
03:08 And then after the grandchildren, great grandchildren even, and then we die and go off. No, no, it’s not like that. We are going through here as ambassadors of Christ, holy priests unto Jesus Christ.
03:19 We are holy priests unto Jesus Christ, Ambassadors of Christ. Now here, Jesus Christ, one thing people forget is he wants a relationship with us. God wants a relationship with you.
03:31 That is why saying God loves you. We cannot say it enough times. God loves you.
03:37 Now tell yourself, God loves me. Almighty Father, God loves me. Jesus Christ loves me.
03:44 You keep telling this again and again until your heart, in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know Jesus Christ loves me. That is why he suffered on the cross. That is why he allowed people to whip him and nail him and put a crown of thorns and dig deep into his scalp and tore his beard off, tore his face off.
04:05 All that he allowed himself to be done. Because he loves me. Because he loves me.
04:10 Jesus Christ loves me. This you cannot tell enough for yourself. First, why if you do not know God loves you, you cannot really receive all the wonderful things he has given for you.
04:21 Why your heart won’t accept and if you don’t, if your heart doesn’t believe the promises of God, if it doesn’t believe God loves you, that our heart, treacherously wicked, is being changed and molded again and again as we go along in life, as we go along closer to Christ, hang on to Christ. Our hearts are being changed and moulded again and again and the heart will finally receive belief that God loves and God’s promises are true. Jesus loves you and Jesus promises are true.
04:49 But there’s stages because some areas the heart will believe, Jesus will do. Some areas the heart is still wicked, won’t believe. So we have to deal with this fellow in Jesus name, you have to deal with your heart.
05:00 You are not your heart, as you know you are a spirit being. So now, in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart, all our hearts, in the name of Jesus Christ. I command in the name of Jesus Christ to know that God loves me.
05:13 Jesus Christ loves me. And I command my heart and mind to love Jesus Christ the way Jesus Christ wants me to love him. Not in some theological thing or some people have written on some little pamphlets here and some Books or some even big doctrines written.
05:27 Fancy doctrines are written. But the way Jesus Christ wants me to love him, I must love him the way Jesus Christ wants me to love him. Why does Jesus Christ put some rules? Because he wants to keep us safe from the consequences of sin.
05:41 The rules put by Jesus Christ in the New Testament is to keep us safe from the consequences of sin. That is why he said, love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbour as yourself and you will, and you will live.
05:55 Now today I’m dealing with Hebrews 4, 15 and 16. Hebrews 4, 15, 16. I’m reading from the Catholic version.
06:06 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. But we have one who in every respect has been tested or tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
06:30 Now, brothers and sisters, many others, the one other, King James, whether it amplified and all, they’ll say a little differently, but it all means the same. First of all, what the first meaning is, we do not have high priests that our high priesthood, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, he is sitting down there. We are priests, but he is a high priest.
06:49 Now we are in Him. He, according to what has actually happened, he has been tested and tempted every which way. And as the Bible says, as we are.
06:59 But remember, each of us has been tested and tempted in many ways, right? But the whole of humanity, the whole of humanity, if you put the 8 billion people, they have been tested and tempted in different, different ways, each of us, some of it will be the same. For me, my temptation and testing will be some basics will be the same as what is my wife tested and tempted? That you are tested and tempted. But there will be other testing and tempting for me which are unique to me only.
07:28 It may not be in my wife, it may not be in my children, it may not be in you. So each of us have our unique things. Of course, even the unique temptation.
07:37 Several people in the world or certain groups of people will have the same kind of temptations. Yes, but all the temptations put together for everyone that is facing things. He has been tested.
07:50 Jesus Christ has been tested and tempted like that before us, before us all. All that means if I’m tempted yet 15 ways. He has been tempted a million ways.
08:03 So many different temptations. He has gone through us all and yet he was without sin. He didn’t fall into sin.
08:11 He endured and moved on. Why now? I use my faith, my belief in his faith. His faith got him through without sin.
08:20 Now I believe in him to bring me out without sin. He will bring us out without sin, brothers and sisters. But I must go to him.
08:26 I must go to him because he wants a relationship. Therefore he says he sent us a Holy Spirit, not a spirit to bondage, not to put us back to slavery, to laws and whatnot. By put us to the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit himself cries out, abba Father.
08:45 And as the Holy Spirit cries out abba Father, we by the Holy Spirit, we also call out, abba Father. Abba Father. My Father.
08:53 My Father. Oh my Father in heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ, we go through him.
08:59 But all things under the feet of Jesus Christ. So you just use the name of Jesus Christ. Now let’s look at this.
09:06 He said he has been tested, you know, Jesus Christ has been tested this way, that way, millions of ways. I’m only tested some ways. And yet he was with us in.
09:14 So I go to him. Let us therefore go boldly to the throne of grace. That’s what the Bible is saying.
09:21 Go boldly to the throne of grace where we may find. We will find mercy and grace and we receive mercy for our weaknesses. We receive mercy.
09:31 He will give us mercy and we find grace for help in time of need. So do not run away. I have people over the years, I know when they got some issue and all they say, no, it is too small.
09:43 I don’t want to go to Jesus on this. Nothing is too small for him. He wants you to save your soul.
09:48 He wants to settle you, brother. He wants to settle you, sister. But if you think this is too small, I must not go and bother Jesus Christ.
09:54 You have your own theology, you have your own Bible. You are having your own Bible where the devil is confusing you, your heart and mind confusing you. You are thinking for God.
10:05 Can you imagine? You are thinking for God. You are thinking this small. Who told you this is small for Jesus Christ? Did Jesus tell you it’s too small for him? Oh, don’t come back and disturb me.
10:15 This is too small for me. Did he tell you? Did he write it down? No. These are false perception.
10:20 You have whatever small thing, take it to the husband of your soul. Because that small thing you are struggling, isn’t it? So if you are struggling with a small thing, it is not a small thing for you. So you don’t try to think for Jesus Christ.
10:34 A lot of people mistake. They will think even for me. They will come to counseling and they will think for me and then keep quiet.
10:41 And they won’t tell what they are thinking about me for me. And after, when I find out, I said. Did I say that? Why are you thinking like this? Same thing.
10:48 All of us shouldn’t think for Jesus Christ. We refer to the Scriptures. 2.
10:53 Go. Go to him. Now you see, Jesus wants a relationship.
10:58 A relationship. He wants us to come to him. That’s why you put this.
11:04 They come boldly to the throne of mercy and grace. Where? Who’s there? He is there now, brother. This is the same thing, you know.
11:11 Can you imagine? Relationship. So he provides everything. Then let’s say we worship him.
11:16 We sacrifice this, sacrifice that. But actually we don’t have relationship. We do, do, do every Sunday go to church, or every Saturday go to church or whatever your thing is.
11:26 And then after. Or Monday, Wednesday, Friday, go to church, whatever. But you don’t have a relationship with him.
11:33 You are not talking to him. You’re not waiting to hear what he says. You’re not searching what he has said in the scriptures.
11:40 Therefore, if you take the gospels, there is one in the graceoflife.com there’s one recording which we recorded by God’s mercy, all the words of Jesus Christ what one hour can hold. I think it covers Matthew and John, just only Jesus. What Jesus words? So it’ll skip and not because in between there’s nothing there.
11:59 But you keep listening to what Jesus has spoken. Wonderful, brothers and sisters. Go and get it there and keep listening.
12:05 Record it, download it. It’s free. Go and download it.
12:08 All things. And the grace of life is free. Now remember, how do I explain this? How do I explain this so that we understand this better? You see, for instance, take a husband and a wife.
12:21 A husband, let’s say, provides. Many husbands are like this. They provide, they work hard, they provide for the family, provide for children’s education, provide for the wife.
12:29 Enough budget to find food and all that monthly budget, everything fine. But they are so consumed with the work and this and that. They come home, they’re only providing us.
12:38 They do nothing else. They come home, they maybe read the paper, they there’s no relationship. They don’t talk to the wife properly.
12:45 They just keep there. They do own thing. The wife has provided for the food and all that she’s cooked and all.
12:49 And they eat and all. And some simple set, simple, superfluous. How are children, Some things like that.
12:59 That is why when counseling. I’ve seen this and many counselors throughout the world. You search in the script, in search in the Internet you’ll find one of the biggest complaints of wives are this.
13:09 The man will say, I provide what I provide what? I provide everything. What’s your problem? The problem is brother and sister. You don’t have a relationship with your wife.
13:18 Brother, your problem is you don’t come there and don’t have a relationship with your wife. You provide, you provide. So what? There’s one thing you have to provide.
13:27 How for the family to survive without providing. But you don’t have a real relationship with your wife. Therefore, the wife complained, I don’t want his money, I don’t want his money.
13:34 I don’t want all this. But he is different from what he married. He doesn’t talk to me, he doesn’t have a relationship with me.
13:45 Now can you imagine this and this happening? Isn’t it now I hope it’s not happening in your family. If it’s happening, you change it. Now.
13:51 Brother, you’re listening to this. You better put an effort to talk to your wife now. Dadit, Angal, you see here, whenever this man was wrong.
14:01 And I also used to be like that. By the way, I’m not condemning you. I also used to be like that until I came to Christ and Christ began to tell things to me.
14:08 And I say, fantastic, Lord. And then by his mercy and grace, I begin to have a relationship with my wife. A spiritual relationship with my wife.
14:16 Not just talk some rubbish and go without talking. Also we’ll have a relationship. I have a relationship with my wife.
14:22 Without talking. You know, we can have relationship. Of course we talk because we have to explain so many things.
14:27 But without talking. The wife knows I love her, I care for her. And I make it clear from time to time, without her I cannot do this.
14:34 Even this morning thing I cannot do. If I have to do the rest of the things, the household, family and all, I can’t do without my children. I can’t do without the congregation.
14:43 I also cannot do so many things. I need the congregation of God who has put around me. We call it the family of Christ.
14:50 Brothers and sisters, we must have relationship with Christ. Now take a wife, you know this or not. Many times when there has this tough husband, exteriorly tough put on a front or not.
15:01 As soon as he gets into a problem and he’s unable to handle, let’s say he becomes sick. Then you see the wife, the wife will be so caring and taking care of him this way, concerned this way and that way. Every which way she’s checking things, maybe talking to people, whatever to solve the husband’s problem.
15:18 Why she is needed. She feels needed. Otherwise every day, cooking food, washing clothes and all.
15:26 And she not feels wanted. Doesn’t feel wanted. Means that’s when the marriage begins to break.
15:33 The wife must feel wanted that you are needing her. That you need her. The wife must feel that actually she’s contributing.
15:42 Not just water. Any maid, you can pay a maid. I mean you have a relationship like this, then you may pay a maid.
15:48 One the maid will just do the clothes and washing. One woman come wash the clothes or send the laundry. The other one just come send food.
15:54 Nowadays they got food catering to the house. So what is the problem? Needed talking to her. Jesus wants us that he wants.
16:03 He knows he’s providing for you. He wants you to need him. I need you, Lord.
16:07 I need you, Abba. Father, I need you in everything. Without you I cannot live this life.
16:13 Without you I cannot live this life. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every heart and mind to know that you need Jesus Christ. Because Jesus Christ loves you and he wants you.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 19 October to know God’s will for you. To know God’s will for you. Brothers and sisters, this is an important topic for many people.
00:16 Many want to know God’s will for them. Yes, truly they want to know. So in the, in the years of my ministry I find people come say, pastor, I don’t know what God’s will for me.
00:25 I don’t know what God’s will for me for marriage. I don’t know what God will for me for my job, for my education, for my career, whatever. And then they begin to get confused and they begin to fast even they’ll fast and pray and then they don’t hear anything, they can’t hear God.
00:34 And then they get frustrated, they get upset. And then there are others. Every, any person comes, so called prophets, they run to them and say what God feel for me? They ask a prophet and somebody will prophesy and somebody else will prophesy.
01:00 So they’re going from person to person to person. That’s why God talks about that. Running here and there with itching ears.
01:07 Just want to hear something but not willing to obey. First of all, we have to now come to an understanding. There must be scripture which tells you how to get God’s will for you.
01:20 There is a scripture, there must be a number of scriptures actually. But we’ll take one important thing. So it starts with Romans 12 the other day we dealt with it.
01:29 Love God, know thyself. To know thyself we have to examine ourselves without examining ourselves. We will never know where we are, what we are.
01:39 But we have to examine ourselves against the word of God, against what God says, not examine ourselves against the standard of this world. This world, as we said yesterday, the devil’s blessing. The title yesterday was 18th of October.
01:55 Where clearly the Bible shows the ruler of the world is Satan and the whole world is under the sway of Satan. The world, not the earth. The earth belongs to Jesus Christ, full stop.
02:06 Heaven and earth belongs to Jesus Christ. The world is a world system, system of governance, system of doing things. The world system is swayed by Satan, controlled by Satan.
02:17 People do not know, therefore they messed up. I messed up. I did not know the spiritual one, but I didn’t know.
02:26 And yesterday I was talking about how while I was progressing, I didn’t know it’s the devil blessing me. I was against God and I’m being blessed. And that blessing is material blessing.
02:34 And finally the devil will come to collect. He’ll Add sorrow to it. He will come when it comes from the world.
02:40 Blessings come from the world, whether through human beings or not. The devil will finally come to collect only when the blessing comes from God to you. There’s no sorrow to it, and the devil cannot steal, because you will cast out the evil one in Jesus Christ’s name.
02:56 In the name of Jesus Christ you must be able to cast out Brothers and sisters today to know God’s will for you. Starts with Romans 12. I’m going to read 1 and 2 from the Amplified version because extended version.
03:08 We need to know more depth here. Romans 12:1 2. Romans 12:1.
03:14 I appeal to you therefore brethren, and beg of you. Beg, you know, Apostle Paul talking, you know, beg of you, in view of all the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies, presenting all your members and faculties as a living sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable, rational, intelligent service and spiritual worship. 2.
03:46 Do not be conformed to this world, this age fashioned after and adapted to its external and superficial customs, but be transformed, changed by the entire renewal of your mind, by its new ideas and new attitudes, so that you may prove for yourselves what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in his sight for you. Brothers and sisters, clearly first of all there are number of issues here.
04:21 First of all we need to surrender ourselves. We have to get God’s will to know God’s will to hear God, we first must surrender my will to him. Self will goes to destruction.
04:35 Self seeking always goes to destruction. Our hearts will now remember ourselves three parts. We are made of three parts.
04:42 When I say you, you, you here, I’m talking to your hearts. Your spirit man is born again. Jesus is there.
04:48 Christ is formed inside there. Now you have to form Christ in your heart and mind and of course our body. Three parts.
04:54 When I say you, I’m talking to the heart and mind and your flesh even, but not when I say your heart. I have to now become careful here. Because when I say you sometimes dealing with the heart, sometimes I am dealing with the spirit man.
05:07 So I must be careful. I ask mercy from God Almighty Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. Make me articulate clearly, Lord, so that your will is done in the lives of all that I will be a good servant and tell the truth clearly so everyone understands.
05:25 Father, make me, Lord, in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Now our hearts do not they have their own will.
05:33 Our heart is treacherously wicked. And then even myself over the years many parts of the heart has changed. But some part of the heart has not changed yet.
05:43 It’s still being changed because whenever it comes up, I have to deal with it. So our mind has to be renewed. We’ll come to that.
05:51 Now what starts with me surrendering to him? My self will. I don’t want my will. I don’t want to be self willed.
06:02 Now only when you’re prepared to do this that means your spirit man. Now I’m talking to your spirit man. Only when your spirit man takes up this thing and commands the heart and mind that you will obey God in the name of Jesus Christ.
06:14 I command the heart and mind to obey Christ and not to be gone in your own self will. Only then there’s a first step for you to receive God’s will. First surrender our will Lord in the name of Jesus Christ.
06:29 I ask that God’s will Lord. I want your will Lord, not my will anymore. In Jesus name I pray.
06:36 Now it’s a very simple prayer but when you pray with the heartfelt that this is what you actually want, God hears you and does it for you. This is the thing about Jesus Christ. It’s not a religion.
06:47 He is listening to you. Christ is in you and we are in Christ. And he is seated at the right hand side of Father God.
06:55 So now first we surrender our will. Those of you who want to know God’s will or want to do God’s will first have to surrender your will. Now second thing, the way the Bible says and amplified to make a decisive dedication of your bodies.
07:10 I want to present my body Lord, as pleasing to you. And all my members and faculties means all my thoughts, all my thinking, all my feelings, all, all, all, everything I want to dedicate to you. And as a living, holy, devoted, sacri.
07:26 Consecrated. Consecrated means separated. As a living sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated, separated and well pleasing to you Father God well pleasing to you Jesus Christ.
07:36 I want this Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ I command my heart and mind to to be well pleasing to God. In the name of Jesus Christ I command my heart and mind to be devoted, consecrated, holy to Jesus Christ.
07:52 I present my body, my body first, my whole body now which is a reasonable sacrifice, reasonable service and spiritual worship. This is the first step now first step surrendering. Second step is to this part of the serend ring.
08:08 But let’s look at this if you first of all so if you have sexual immorality thoughts and you’re not overcoming that all the time, you’re allowing the TV to Catch you the sexual immorality that catch you. Then you have to cut off your tv, whatever. If your hand causes you to sin, cut your hand.
08:28 He says your eye plucks you to causes you to sin. Pluck your eye. That in the spirit.
08:35 That means you have to deal with this. That means you have to make sure your eyesight is not going to write things. So if you cannot, all the time you’re thinking of the sexual immorality and all this, you cannot know the will of God.
08:47 You cannot hear him. And because you’re not dedicated to your body as a living sacrifice, how do you do this? Now we can’t do it ourselves. So we take several words of God.
08:58 For instance, we take this word, I am dedicated. So I keep on meditating on this. I am dedicated to him.
09:04 My heart and mind is dedicated to him. So when I keep on meditating on the Word, the Bible says the word of God says if I keep looking at the Word in the eye of my mind, the eyes of my mind and eyes of my understanding, I keep meditating on this word like in a mirror. Finally, I will change.
09:20 Can you imagine? I will change. To what? To the image that God made. He made us in his image.
09:26 Which image? His spirit. God is spirit. He made our spirit man is in his image.
09:31 Now that he has come, our spirit, man is image. So in that we keep on doing this, our spirit man will control the heart and mind and change. Now.
09:40 2. Do not be conformed to this world. The age of this world, the way it is now fashioned after and adapted to external and superficial customs.
09:50 Fashioned after and adapted to its external and superficial customs. But be transformed by the renewal of your mind. By renewing the spirit of your mind.
10:01 Change the entire renewal the entire spirit of your mind. You have to change by new ideals. Ideals, Ideal standard.
10:09 Earlier I said ideals. Wrong. Ideals and its attitude.
10:13 New attitude. Christ like attitude. Christ like ideals.
10:17 So we have to look at that. But let’s look at this one. So if you.
10:21 If somebody all the time. Tv. Tv, TV or movies.
10:24 Movies. Movies. And friends.
10:26 Friends. Friends. You cannot.
10:27 You are not surrendered. You are conformed to this world. If you’re conformed to this world, you cannot hear God full stop.
10:37 Then there are others. My job, My job. My job.
10:39 My job. What was my job? What my boss think? What my boss think? And then some people work round the clock instead of telling the boss, I need to go to service. I need to have commitment to my family.
10:52 I have to take care of my children. I have to deal with the because they are afraid. Because they have no self esteem.
10:59 They believe that the boss is paying them more than they deserve. So they believe that anything they do, they may sack them. They may not have the job that is not of God.
11:10 There is a fear there. The spirit of fear must be cast out. And to know that put your faith in Christ, seek ye the kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy first.
11:19 And all these things will be added. They have not come to that level of understanding. But the devil uses that the devil seeks.
11:26 You will not come to the understanding. He will always make the boss do you more and more, oh, go here, go there. He is not bothered by your family.
11:33 When all the relationship breaks, divorces take place, what happens to you? You think the boss cares? Brothers and sisters, this is the truth. So don’t be so frightened that your job you lose, you lose and you fall. Forget to deal what God has told.
11:46 He said, do not be conformed to this world. Do not be conformed to this world. And then you better deal what God said.
11:54 Love God, love your neighbor as yourself and you will live. And then for Christians, Christians within ourselves we have to love one another as Jesus Christ loved us. That is he gave us life.
12:05 Somehow we give ourselves to them. So if you say job, job, job and don’t care about other brothers and sisters, you cannot know the will of God. You cannot hear God.
12:15 Now some of you, because of this, you say, what does this pastor understand? My job is very important. If not I have no job, who is going to feed my family? Now, brothers and sisters, that means your faith is in the job. Your faith is in the world.
12:26 Your faith is in the boss. Your faith is not in Christ. Now getting upset with me is not going to solve your problem.
12:34 Please get upset with your heart and mind that is thinking like this because our heart and mind, Jesus Christ already told us they are treacherously wicked. You have to get upset with your heart and mind, not with the word of God and not with the servant who is telling you the word of God, which you didn’t know earlier. So now.
12:53 So you have to humble yourself to the word of God. Humble to the word of God, grace. Otherwise God considers it proud and he opposes you.
13:04 James 1:22 that why I keep sticking the same. James 4:6 James 4:6 James 1:22 is be a doer of the word. Not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
13:15 God says, now these are pertinent things, but of course they cut our heart when we are not doing. Let’s say when you, when somebody listen to me here. And they say, what does he know? My job, you know, very hard to get job nowadays.
13:25 Recession, you know, whatever. Hey, I’m telling you the truth. You cannot have it both ways, brothers and sisters.
13:30 You cannot have one. One foot in the world and one foot with God. It’s not going to work.
13:36 It is having one foot in one small boat, another foot in another leg in another small boat. Both boats are going and drifting. What happens? You’ll be torn to pieces.
13:47 So do not do this. In fact, the devil arms himself to whack people like this. That’s how you keep on and never ending, you know, you find that.
13:56 And then when I counsel people like this, some follow, some didn’t follow. Those who follow, suddenly they get better jobs. Suddenly the boss also changes his mind and gives him easier work or routine changes.
14:09 First they won’t change because they are afraid. Then I will say now that one, you fast. Why kill your flesh, kill your command.
14:17 Your spirit, man must rise up. Otherwise your heart and heart is taking control. Your spirit, man must rise up.
14:23 So you fast. Kill the flesh, kill the fear. In the name of Jesus Christ.
14:28 And then you want to have the will of God for you. You want to surrender your will. And when you do that, suddenly the whole circumstances changes for them.
14:36 Therefore the others, my child, school, education, school education, school education, school education. And then they begin to run here and run there all the time, agitated. You cannot know the will of God.
14:49 To know the will of God. First you surrender your will and begin to have faith in Christ. And two, you have dedicated especially pornography and partying and sharing all the time.
15:01 Partying, friendship, movies, movies, tv, tv, tv, something or other. How to hear God. Brothers and sisters, this is the truth.
15:10 First step is this. I pray that future steps God will tell us as we go along. I will deal with it.
15:17 But today the first step is surrender your will. That happened to me. I did not want my will.
15:22 I don’t want my mind already. And then I saw I was at peace. So no matter there were circumstances, there were financial circumstances.
15:28 Remember? The devil stole everything. Finally, no. And then I was in so much of debt.
15:33 Millions of debts. Now from millions of value in the company. Now for millions of debts.
15:38 But step by step, Jesus Christ got me out of all. And we had still month by month we were wondering what is going to happen. But yet God kept us going and even got my children educated in proper colleges.
15:53 In fact, my eldest mom went to Stirling to do a master’s in Scotland. You know all that. So Jesus sees us through.
16:00 Initially, it looks like a dark alley. You don’t know where to go, but you hang on to Jesus. You believe in Jesus.
16:07 You say his word is true. That’s the first step. You train like that.
16:10 Another time an attack comes, let’s say they suddenly say, somebody got cancer or you got cancer. Doctor said no. Your word will kick in.
16:18 Your faith will come in. Why? You already surrendered. You’re believing in your Christ, and you begin to do this.
16:22 Brothers and sisters, first to have faith in Christ, first we have to do this. Romans 12:1, 2. Please, brothers and sisters, today, focus on this.
16:32 Think about this. Think against your work, whatever you’re doing, whatever you’re doing. Activity, whether it’s in line with the word of God.
12 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God,
to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties]
as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God,
which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age),
[fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs],
but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude],
so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God,
even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
