    00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 30-11-2015 titled how does your first love love you? How does your first love love you? Of course, our first love. My first love. Your first love is God is Jesus
    Christ. Jesus Christ is our first love.

    00:25 It is, it has to be. And it’s only remember we are dealing with your first love or my first love a couple of days back. And the Bible says in Revelation, Jesus says, you have lost your first love.

    00:40 You lost your first love and how far you have fallen from how high you have fallen. Present sisters, today, let’s quickly recap some of the issues because these are important issues. To get back to the first love, how we have left our first love.

    00:57 To get back to our first love, we have to have first works. First works is the work of God. And what is the work of God? Believing in the One whom He sent.

    01:11 Just believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth in every occasion and every event is having our first love first. We have not lost our first love if we do the work of God. And the work of God is believing in Jesus Christ, believing in His Word, leaning
    on the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ.

    01:33 Who is Jesus Christ? So what is believing? Believing is simply not simply say I believe. I believe. Believing includes a number of things.

    01:42 Believing, adhere to, adhering to, completely relying on, trusting in. These are all part of believing. As I’ve told before, the problem with that word believe is the old English or the old Hebrews and the Asian texts have a deeper meaning.

    02:01 Asian words have a deeper meaning than the English which just says believe, brothers and sisters. The other thing is there’s no problem if you have left your first love by identifying this issue. Repent.

    02:13 Ask Jesus for forgiveness and repent. What is repent? Turning away from our old way of thinking first, turning away from our old way of thinking and our sinful behavior and changing from inner self. And changing actually happens by God changes us.

    02:29 The Word of God changes us. How does the Word of God change us? By looking at the Word of God, by reading the Word of God, by meditating on the Word of God and especially before you fall asleep, you’re thinking of the issues that you have done which
    are not pleasing to Christ. Asking repentance.

    02:45 You should have done it straight away. When you know the Holy Spirit convicts you that whatever you’re doing, whatever you’re about to do is not of Christ, it is not pleasing to God. It is actually going to harm ourselves.

    02:56 When the conviction comes, we have to Stop and repent. Stop, Stop. No need to repent first because you have not done it.

    03:04 And command the temptation to get out. In the name of Jesus Christ. In the spirit of Jesus Christ.

    03:06 In the name of Jesus Christ. I command every wicked, unclean spirit get out of me. In the name of Jesus Christ.

    03:06 In the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to reject this temptation to think of holy things. And then we move on because it will leave.

    03:06 In the name of Jesus Christ. If you do not even know that prayer. Blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus.

    03:29 And you are thinking you want to do the right thing. Jesus empowers you. The spirit of God will empower you.

    03:35 There’s no issue. That is why Jesus came to empower us so we can live life well and lead a holy life. Holy life is not exceptionally sitting in the mountaintop and away from people and all that.

    03:49 No, we are supposed to be. We are not of this earth, but we are from this earth, from the world. We are not of this world, but we are in the world.

    03:59 God says we are not of this world, but we are in the world. Not going to hide. How to witness to people about the goodness of Jesus Christ and give them a chance to be saved.

    04:09 If we are not going to be in the world, we have to be in the world. We have to mix with people, we have to go to functions, but we have to be led by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit has to lead you.

    04:20 Otherwise we can put ourselves in real trouble by going to every function without asking Jesus Christ and then messing ourselves there. Don’t want your. The first love must determine our action.

    04:32 My first love, that is Jesus Christ, must determine what I do and not do. Brothers and sisters, this. This important.

    04:41 Is important. That is we from time to time. I’ve told you all how I have left the first love and.

    04:49 And what a ridiculous. What a terrible human being I was a number of occasions. Not only that, but God reminds us.

    04:57 The Holy Spirit reminds me. Remember the other day I was talking about, I think it was yesterday whereby I said, whose shame are you? Whose shame are you talking about? He is. Then I broke.

    05:08 Broke down because the reason is that what kind of human being I was, he did so much to get me out of mess. And my heart forgets all that, you know, forgets all that. And it happened to all of us.

    05:22 But fear not or fear not because Jesus has set a way. And the Holy Spirit is the one who teaches us, who guides us from inside and changes from inside. When we begin to meditate on the Word.

    05:35 As you keep looking at the Word and meditating, the word of God, who is Jesus Christ, will change you from inside today, brothers and sisters. How does your first love love you? How does my first love, that Jesus Christ love love me? How does he
    love me now? Then we will have a pattern and see how he loves me. And am I actually anywhere near that kind of love to give to Him? I want to love him with all my heart, mind, soul and strength.

    06:03 We’ll take Isaiah 54:10. We are taking some Old Testament here also because that’s the character of God. The character of God has not changed.

    06:13 What is the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament? Is the Old Testament Jesus Christ? The New Testament Word of God has called it the ministry of death. The Old Testament and the New Testament is called the ministry of life.
    Jesus himself said it.

    06:27 There is a segment I have recorded by God’s mercy. Go and listen to that. The reason is the Old Testament has told you what to do and what not to do.

    06:36 But we couldn’t do it. Human beings couldn’t do it. That is why people end up as a minister of death.

    06:42 People couldn’t. They all getting messed up, you know. So Jesus came and gave us power.

    06:48 Now whatever we have been told to do, we can do because we have power in the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of Jesus Christ, we can do now. Isaiah 54:10. I’m reading from the Catholic version.

    07:01 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed. But my steadfast love shall not depart from you. And my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

    07:18 Now just look at that. The mountains may be departed. Mountains may move and leave.

    07:23 The hills may be removed. Earthquakes can take place. Anything can happen.

    07:28 But my steadfast love shall not depart from you. This comes back in the New Testament. Nothing can separate us from the love of God now.

    07:40 This is how he loves us. Can you imagine? He’s saying all that can move. The mountains can go, the hills can be removed.

    07:46 My steadfast love shall not depart from you. If you just think of this and command our heart and mind to know. He loves me.

    07:52 He loves me. And the proof is on the cross. He was on the cross.

    07:58 Now thank Jesus Christ he rose again and he seated at the right hand side of Father God. And I’m inside him and he is in me. There’s enough scriptures for all that.

    08:08 And he loves me. He loves me. So I can now love boldly.

    08:15 I can love why? Because no matter what happens, his love is more than enough for each of us. Why? He is Almighty God. He can do anything and everything, but he will only do the right and just thing.

    08:31 He will only do the right and just thing. Now, Jeremiah 31:3. The Lord has appeared of old unto me.

    08:38 The ancient of days refers to God saying, yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Yes, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.

    08:46 Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you. Now this is reflected in the New Testament whereby it says, before the foundation of the world, I knew you because he created us before the foundation
    of the world.

    09:14 And as a spirit being our spirit being the soul also. Now before the foundation of the world. Foundation of the world, I have loved you and I’ve drawn you with a loving kindness.

    09:22 I’ve drawn you and that happened to me. I was a blasphemer using four letter words on God and can you imagine? Yet he has loved me with an everlasting love and drawn me with loving kindness. I have experienced this.

    09:43 You have experienced this. Only thing you may not identify you better identify some issues of sin you’ve been committing. Anything you have done against Jesus Christ or God by doing so many things you have done.

    09:56 We have done idolatry. I’ve done idolatry. We have gone.

    10:00 I’ve gone to the Vomo shaman Shaman in the in the Malaysian context the shaman for fellows would give you some charm and all to help us. We have gone and I’ve gone and done things that didn’t is sin against God. And I’ve done things sin against my
    wife, breaking marriage covenant and that’s again sin against God.

    10:22 Because marriage covenant God holds in one of the highest regards. So yet he has drawn me, he knows because he loved me with an everlasting love. He loves you with an everlasting love.

    10:38 Now, Ephesians 2, 4, 5 I’m reading from the Jewish Bible just Now the Jeremiah 31 I read from King James Version Ephesians 2, 4, 5 complete Jewish Bible But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love. I’ll read that again Ephesians
    2, 4. But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love.

    11:10 This is a direct translation from the Jewish Bible means the translating from Hebrew now that even when we were dead even when we were dead in fact could be Hebrew or Aramaic brothers and sisters. So remember that the Jews used of those days were
    using both. Jesus used Aramaic most of the time anyway.

    11:32 But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such an intense love that even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, I was dead in the spirit. My spirit was dead because of sin. It’s clear in the New Testament we were all dead.

    11:49 Our spirit man was all. When they say you were dead, your spirit man was dead because the spirit man was dead. Because we have committed sin.

    11:56 All of us, all have fallen short of the glory of God because they have sinned. All have sinned. I mean all human beings.

    12:03 Everyone who was given birth and the genealogy from Adam and Eve coming down. Genealogy is coming down. The line is coming down.

    12:12 All of us were given birth from human contact. A man or woman gets union and then they form a child born of the flesh. The woman’s egg and the husband, the wife’s egg and the husband’s sperm get together, join together by God’s mercy and a child is
    formed, a fetus is formed and this is a human birth born flesh.

    12:40 Everyone was born out of flesh like that. Has already sinned somewhere on the line. Even we didn’t have.

    12:47 We have the genetic of sin. That means the lineage of sin. That means we have a nature of sin.

    12:53 A baby baby is holy. Every child is holy. Therefore a child dies, goes straight back to God.

    13:01 Now every child is holy, but the child has a nature of sin. Why the nature of sin? The nature started when Adam and Eve sinned. The nature comes down, the nature of sin comes down.

    13:14 And because of the nature of sin, every one of us, from a very young age, we begin to sin. So Jesus says, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Therefore he has come to save us now.

    13:27 But here, look. He loved us. Such an intense love when we were dead in sin.

    13:33 Now he says when we are dead in sin, he brought us to life along with the Messiah. Along the Messiah. They will say he brought us to life along with the Messiah.

    13:43 He brought us to life through Jesus Christ. What a wonderful God it is by grace that you have been delivered. Isaiah 49, 15:16.

    13:55 King James can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of a womb? God is asking this question. Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of a womb? Yea, they may
    forget. Yet I will not forget thee.

    14:18 Yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. Now let’s Listen to this again, brothers and sisters, let’s see how he loves us.

    14:30 God is asking, will a woman, that means a mother, forget a suckling child? A child who is sucking milk out of her, will she forget the child? God says yes, he may forget, they may forget, but I will not forget you. So this fantastic for those who
    have lost their mothers, who are young age, babies or children, they lost their mothers, they lost their fathers. Whoever God, the father remembers you, thinks of you, he loves you and what he has done with that.

    15:02 In Isaiah 49:16, he says the next verse. I have graven thee upon the palms of my hand. He said, I have drawn.

    15:11 I’ve cut your face, your image. I’ve cut it on the palm of my hand. That means he’s graven it.

    15:17 You know, he has engraved it. Graven means engraved. He’s engraved my image in the palm of his hand.

    15:25 Can you imagine? He engraved your image in the palm of his hand. Brothers and sisters, just take a moment and think. He loves you so much.

    15:36 He said, a suckling, breastfeeding mother can forget the son of her womb. But I will not forget you. I have graven you upon the palms of my hand.

    15:50 Can you take a moment, close your eyes and think about this. Brothers and sisters, he has taken your face. Look at yourself mirror.

    15:56 When you look at the mirror in future now tell you he’s not talking about the physical condition of our face and all that. He’s talking about our spirit. Our spirit.

    16:06 Our spirit. Because he gave us life. Our spirit is our spirit from God.

    16:10 Therefore, he says, you are made in the image of God. Each of us were made in the image of God. God.

    16:14 Each of us are made in the image of God. So the Spirit. Now of course we have some form.

    16:25 I believe there’s scriptures to back this up. But there’s always any Scripture can have arguments, brothers and sisters, but we have some form that each of us can recognize each other because of the character and other things. So although our bodies
    may weaken and gone and all that, but remember this, he has taken some.

    16:46 I cannot fully understand this also what is graving there. But he has graven you and me into his palm of his hand. That’s how much he loves us.

    16:55 In Jesus name I pray Amen.

    00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 29-11-2015 titled how do you leave your first love? How do you leave your first love? The answer is slowly, step by step, you will leave your first love. When we
    begin to live our first love, it will be slowly, step by step, it will be suddenly, it will be shockingly that we will know the devil is not going to come and tempt us on big temptation and we leave our first love. No, it won’t take place like that.

    00:31 It’s slowly, slowly creep up on you that because I was meditating on these things and that’s why I know how it was happening to me. Slowly, slowly, brothers and sisters. That is my brothers and sisters today the power of Christ daily is asking how
    do you leave your first love? And let’s make a note of this.

    00:48 First of all, brothers and sisters, yesterday I was not altogether there because what happened was if I skips and whatnot. Yesterday I’m thinking and I do something in the night, chest congestion, phlegm, nose block and temperature, what have you.
    And slight hurting in the chest because of the congestion.

    01:13 Then I used to pray and then start taking a good one mineral lamp, some lamp on the back to start heating up and all that started clearing. But couldn’t sleep the whole night. So by the time when I came here, it was all in that condition.

    01:30 And sorry brothers and sisters, there was not a smooth recording. But today, in the name of Jesus Christ, I’m here again. By mercy of Jesus Christ, when we do this, I pray I’m blessing this as a blessing to everyone, including me.

    01:43 Amen. Now brothers and sisters, yesterday again we talked about certain things. How do you, how do you know? How do you get back to the first love, doing your first works? The scripture is very clear.

    01:57 In Revelation 2:1:5, verse 5 it says, Doing your first works, do the first works. Now what is the first works? The first works is believing in the one whom he sent. Believing in the one whom he sent.

    02:05 Now what is believing? Believing is first of all, not our shoddy, simple English. Believing is an Asian language. Greek and Hebrews are Asian languages.

    02:22 Asian languages have far more deeper meaning and broader meaning in one word than what they say in English. English, believing is a very shallow word. Believe.

    02:31 The Bible also says even the demons believe and tremble. So what the issue is believing here is clinging on to him. Clinging on.

    02:42 We have to cling on to him. You cling on. Trusting him, Trust him, trusting him in everything, adhering to him, complying to his authoritative medication, authoritative prescription.

    02:58 Authoritative prescription is the meaning given in the Hebrew for commands. Obeying his command means commands are turned to. One of the interpretation is authoritative prescription.

    03:09 So we are taking the prescription authoritatively. He is given us with authority he has given us. So we take the prescription.

    03:16 We trust in, rely on and have faith in Jesus Christ. Faith that his faith in his faith. His faith has worked for us already.

    03:25 We just have to have faith in that. He did it. He will do it for us.

    03:29 He will settle us because he did it. He has proven it. He died, rose again and sit right inside of Father God.

    03:36 And we are in him and he is in us. And we comply. Comply to his prescription, brothers and sisters.

    03:43 And then what is it now? Repent, he said. Always God gives us a way. Repent.

    03:50 Nothing happens, just repent. Repent. Repent must be sincere.

    03:54 Sincere repentance, not false. Vaya, repent and all that. It’s sincere repentance.

    03:58 Not by repenting, just by the mouth. He says, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Change our mind our way of thinking.

    04:06 The first step to repentance is changing our way of thinking. Our way of thinking has to change our sinful behavior. We have to realize not deciding what is sinful with the word of the world.

    04:18 What the world thinks is sinful and unsinful is wrong. What is sinful and holy or what is acceptable in the world is wrong. We have to go what is sinful and not sinful in the word of Jesus Christ, the husband of our soul.

    04:31 So our thinking must change. And now also the Word of God says, everything may not be sin. Not everything is sin, but not everything is profitable.

    04:42 Not profitable. So we cannot just do things or whatever we want to do. Consider Jesus says, consider your ways, not just do the way of the world.

    04:52 What you are doing may not be sin, but it may not be profitable. In the end, who loses? I lose if I continue doing unprofitable things that are not of value, not of sound mind, just stupid things like Halloween, Halloween party. That’s actually
    Halloween is to the demon devil.

    05:09 That’s a bit more obvious. But if we go and do things the worldly way, again and again, it may not be sin, but slowly, slowly sin will come because we are following the world. But it is not profitable.

    05:22 Don’t do anything unprofitable. God wants us to profit in our lives, to do well in our life. So Brahms to today.

    05:28 We have changed from our inner self. That is by first changing the way our thinking. Thinking has to change.

    05:35 That is be Renewed in the spirit of your mind, how to look at the word of God. To meditate against the word of God and against our conduct, to compare both and then begin to ask God, in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, I don’t want to do this
    anymore. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to, to reject this.

    05:52 Whatever we want to change, reject that. And then things begin to change. Brothers and sisters, today the question is, as I said, how do you live your first love? Step by step, slowly by slowly, it will creep up on you.

    06:05 That’s why I tell you, you know, when I first became born again, born in the spirit, was born in the spirit and hardly a few weeks later, there’s a catch going on because, you know, people being huge amount of, serious amount of money people didn’t
    pay me and I was suing them. Company, one company, huge company suing them. And then they are taking this turn and that turn and they’re lying and they’re cheating and everything was going on, all kinds of things going on.

    06:32 Then finally, a few weeks later, there was a number of hearings were going on already and in between I was born of God. I became love of goddess inside my heart, love for others inside my heart. This Jesus changed me.

    06:47 And you know, wonderful feeling, joy and peace. I was settled. I was not even thinking of the case.

    06:56 So there was an arbitration going on. So we are in the arbitration room and the arbitrator was a very senior judge sitting down there. Sorry, not very senior, very senior law practitioner, very well known, renowned law practitioner.

    07:10 He is a just man. He passed away. He is a very just.

    07:15 And people have high respect for him. But when the thing was going on, suddenly I hear him say, you’re not entitled to anything. To me, you’re not entitled to anything.

    07:27 And I started arguing with him. And then he said, I understand you had a lot of losses. I know you appreciate you had losses and all, but that’s how the law is.

    07:37 Because the contract is worded this way and your law is this way and, and therefore you will not understand. The final point of law is telling me and I cannot take it because I know these people cheated me. Then I was so disturbed and distraught.

    07:52 I was continuing again, we think finally he decided we may take a 10 minute break. 10 minute break. And then we went down.

    08:00 I was standing against the railing and looking out the garden and I am distraught and destroyed, like, you know, very upset and how can it be? They did these wrong things and I suffered so much and lost losses and then again I’m suing them. People
    think you, they’re telling you crystal, you’re seeing the big company, you lose, like you’re not entitled and this and that. And they, and they started putting everywhere notes, notes that they know everybody talking, you know, that I’m not entitled
    anything.

    08:28 And now I’m not entitled that I’m simply suing them and all that I’m a nuisance case. Then I’m here finish now. And I’m talking.

    08:39 Remember this, A few weeks after being born again, I’m in Christ. The love of my first love is Jesus Christ. I talk to Jesus Christ all the time, you know, I’ll be talking to him and say, lord, what about this, what about that? I’m not talking to
    him.

    08:53 Lord Jesus, how, Lord, how Jesus, how These people are putting me into shame. My shame, my shame. What will I do? All these people think I’m not entire.

    09:01 All people say I’m simply stewing. And all now they all believe I’m simply suing. How Jesus? My shame.

    09:07 I was thinking of this and talking to him and then suddenly I see a vision of a cross. And in the cross a figure is that I know he’s Jesus Christ. I didn’t see the faith and all.

    09:17 And under the words of whose shame are you talking about? Whose shame are you talking about? These words are running again and again. Whose shame I talk about, oh, my heart broke, my heart broke. I said, sorry Lord Jesus, Sorry Jesus, sorry Jesus.

    09:33 He suffered. Now I’m thinking he suffered for me like this. I’m talking about my shame, my shame.

    09:37 Jesus said, who shame? Whose shame? Literally in my soul I can sense so much shame. He took on the cross for me and now, now literally said what, Lord, I’m following you, I’m with you. And you are leaving me.

    09:50 Like you know that. What my accusation really, isn’t it that you leave me, you’re not taking care of me and people are going to put me to shame and all that going on. And this was going under the cross and I broke down and cried, cry.

    10:02 Now weeping, tears are falling on my face, falling, you know, And I’m thinking, sorry Jesus, sorry Jesus. Now I forgot about the case. I’m only thinking about what kind of nonsense heart have I got? What kind of nonsense man am I? He saved me with
    this kind of suffering.

    10:18 And now I’m bothered by his case. Yeah, it’s a lot of money. Who cares the suffering he did on the cross.

    10:23 Now I forgot all about this case, all about the issue. I’m just so Distraught. I didn’t think of Jesus.

    10:29 I didn’t think of Jesus. I was just thinking about myself. I was thinking of myself.

    10:36 I’m just, sorry, Jesus, sorry, Jesus, sorry Jesus. All this I’m doing, you know, and then the. I felt a tap on my back.

    10:43 My lawyer is there saying that, look, they didn’t. The judge already said, the arbitration judge already said, you’re not indebted to anything. Then people are willing to call it quits.

    10:53 And you, you call off the case, they call out the case and they give you 10,000 ringgit for your troubles and all. And I said, no, no, I’m not even listening to no, no, no. I, I cannot, I cannot accept.

    11:02 I already told Jesus, let His will be done. Let his will be done. Your will, Lord.

    11:06 Sorry, Lord Jesus and all that. I’m not trying to fill all that. The lawyer.

    11:09 I’m saying, no, I’ve told Jesus, let his let will be done. So I don’t, I don’t. He said, they’ll make you bankrupt if they charge you for the cost.

    11:18 All this while they are a big company, they got big lawyers. They’ll charge you for the cost. The cost be hundreds of thousands of Ringgit and you can’t pay me, they’ll bankrupt you and all that.

    11:27 I say sorry, sorry because I already made an agreement. Jesus will be done, Lord Jesus, I’m sorry, Lord, for offending you for thinking like this. I’m sorry, Jesus.

    11:35 Let yout will be done. Let yout will be done. I’m sorry, Jesus, for thinking of my shame.

    11:40 You took so much of shame. All that was going on earlier in a few minutes. Now this lawyer is angry with me.

    11:47 He said, you’re mad, you’re mad. You know they’re going to make you bankrupt. That’s my own lawyer.

    11:52 Thank Jesus. So we go back and sit down and then I’m just thinking of Jesus. What a kind of heart I got thinking of my shame instead of thinking and meditating on what he suffered for me.

    12:03 And you know, can you imagine? He gave me peace, you know, I was dying there and he gave me peace. And all this forgotten. I’m only thinking of this miserable case now.

    12:13 Yeah, it may be a lot of money, but who caused the problem? I caused the problem. I didn’t go to Jesus before when I did this business and all right, no, I’m just thinking of this. I’m so broken, broken, broken for having done and thinking like
    this, not thinking of Jesus Christ.

    12:30 Then suddenly I hear the judge, the arbitration judge, arbitrator says, but you’re entitled to this portion. And then I opened my eyes. The other lawyers, the other side and the CEO of the other side standing up and arguing, arguing with the lawyers
    are saying the CEO was sitting on the shot, arguing with the judge, now the arbitrator.

    12:55 And I’m just listening. I couldn’t understand because I’ve not been following him. And then I followed through and no, there’s something entitled here.

    13:04 And then that the judge found in our favor. If in my favor and awarded quite a bit of money, then I settled my debts and my children’s education and all that, you know. And.

    13:17 And can you imagine? In a matter of 10 minutes, the whole thing changes. The whole thing changes What Jesus Christ intervenes. But now if I go to Jesus Christ with an intervention, he will come and intervene for my case.

    13:31 He will intervene for the case. It may not happen. How it happened is I let his will be done.

    13:37 And now why I do not want to think about myself anymore. When I started doing that, Obviously what has happened is his will is the best for us. Even if the case there I was not bothered the case anymore.

    13:48 Even if they found against me and all I’ll just stay quietly and go. Because I was so distraught, I was so broken of not thinking of Jesus Christ suffering. I was only thinking of my suffering, which is rubbish, which is too minuscule compared to
    him.

    14:05 So therefore this thing. But it turned out of favor. But I’m telling you, if it didn’t turn, I’m not bothered.

    14:12 I was not listening at all. But can you imagine the miracle? Jesus can do anything. The same man who said I’m not entitled to anything, now he says I’m entitled to something somewhere.

    14:23 And then that thing turned out to be Captain Church. Brothers and sisters, we lose our first love step by step. That is why we have to meditate on the suffering of Jesus Christ and his love for us, his love for you daily.

    14:41 And then say, I will trust you, Lord, I must trust you. I must trust you. I must trust you.

    14:47 In Jesus name I command my heart and mind to trust Jesus in all things, not my mind. Slowly, slowly the cares of the world take over. And we make decisions according to what the world wants.

    14:57 For instance, when we first learn you can lay hands and cast out the pain and rub the knees or whatever, and put hands on stomach and pray. Stomach pain to go or back pain to go, or whatever we will do. After a while, step by step, we forget about
    it.

    15:11 We will begin to reach for the ointments. Why we have forgotten these basics. We forgot step by step.

    15:18 Now step by step we forget to ask Jesus Christ what we are supposed to do now. And we dare not pray. Let your will be done.

    15:24 Many dare not pray. I pray that let your will be done, Lord. Let your will be done.

    15:28 Because also the teachings and the churches and the world and all that we will do, I will do, I will do. And God will come and help me do it. Not true.

    15:39 You are required to do. I am required to do what? God’s will is not what we think is our will, what our desire. And then let Jesus come along and help us.

    15:49 You see, that’s actually demonic logic. Jesus is not our ATM machine or Jesus Christ is not our helper or our servant. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, the owner of the universe.

    16:02 Everything was made by him, through him and for him. And he gives us mercy and grace and saves us. And now he gives us power to overcome Satan.

    16:10 So we have to do what he tells us to do. We have awe and reverence for him. And if we can come to the point, including me now, if I come to the point again, how my heart was broken thinking of how Jesus suffered, that would be the best place to be.

    16:25 Thinking how he suffered and really anguish how he suffered. Sorry, Lord. Sorry Lord.

    16:32 And then we don’t think about ourselves. What will happen is when you think of Jesus Christ suffering, you’ll forget about your own suffering. And then in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to make
    us all do what Jesus Christ wants us to do.

    16:47 In the name of Jesus Christ, ask the Holy Spirit to convict us whenever we are not turning to Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
