00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 1st December 2015 titled is a Christian an optimist or a pessimist? Is a Christian optimist or a pessimist? Brothers and sisters, today the 1st of December. Now
we get up every day with hope. Why do we have hope? Because our hope in Christ will never fail.

00:25 That is the word of God. The word of God is hope in Christ will never fail. There is no other scripture anywhere else in the Bible telling that the hope can be in somebody else, the hope can be in something else and it will never fail.

00:39 No, there is only the scriptures, all of the precept of Christ is this. The hope in Christ will never fail. Our hope and faith in Christ, Our faith in Christ will let us live righteousness, peace and joy, joyful life.

00:55 Even things are going wrong. Even when things are going wrong, you will still have righteousness, peace and joy. When things are extremely wrong at a certain point of time and you are pressed all around, you will not be crushed.

01:07 You are struck down, but not destroyed. These are words of God. The words of God are alive and the word of God is Jesus Christ.

01:16 You are perplexed, but never in despair. All kinds of attacks. What amazing what’s going on, what’s going on.

01:24 But never in despair. You won’t get desperate because the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit will hold you. We have experienced this.

01:31 My family has met tragedy and yet we are holding. Our heart was so tremendous tragedy, but yet our hearts were still. And that can only be the spirit of God.

01:45 Jesus Christ, using a spirit, held us perplexed, but not in despair. We were not desperate. Pressed all around, but not crushed.

01:58 We knew we were holding on to that word. You know the words of God. Struck down but not destroyed.

02:05 Brothers and sisters, these words. Whenever things are happening, you have to remember these words. These are the promises and the promises of Christ never fail.

02:13 Hope in Christ never fails. Therefore, when fear comes, cast out fear in the name of Jesus Christ. Fear is the spirit.

02:19 But at the same time you have to examine yourself where any foothold has been given. If you’re given a foothold, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. And of course he is doing that.

02:30 But if you acknowledge your sin, it’s faithful to forgive. Confess your sin and faithful forgive and repent. Repent means turn your mind thinking.

02:40 Thinking the way you’re thinking has to be turned into the right way of thinking. There is only one right way of thinking. The truth is Jesus Christ.

02:48 Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ, 1st of December 2015. Is. Is a Christian an optimist or pessimist? Now, of course, the world will say, and you will also realize being optimist is better than pessimist.

03:04 Now, pessimist, for those who have, who English is not your first language. Pessimist is always looking at gloom and doom, always looking at things go wrong, always thinking things will go wrong. Something will go wrong.

03:16 Something will go wrong. Yeah. This world is terrible.

03:20 This world is terrible. This world is terrible. That you know, nothing will happen, right? Nothing will happen, right? All things going wrong.

03:20 This world is like this, you know, and cynical because older people generally become cynical because they’ve been hammered so long, so long in the world. And then finally when they get older, they already don’t listen to anything new, don’t listen
to anything new, don’t study anything new because they become pessimistic. They became cynical.

03:47 Even they Allah, you can talk like young fellows, but you know, you have not seen life. Life doesn’t work that way. It all go wrong.

03:57 That specific mixed person. Optimism, on the other hand, will say especially good day, Good day, good day. The Australia is good day.

04:07 Tomorrow will be fine, fantastic. It will change. Things will get better.

04:11 Things will get better. And the actual optimist will be planning, planning for the hope and belief that everything will be fine in whatever way it does. That’s optimism.

04:24 Always thinking ahead and planning and thinking whatever. Fine. So there’s some kind of a joy in him or her now.

04:33 So the world will say, be an optimist, don’t be a pessimist. And that’s what all of us have been trained and we will, we believe that. I used to believe that.

04:42 Be optimist, you know, let’s go. There’s a possibility that can be done. This can be done now.

04:47 So which is the conscience supposed to be? Is a Christian supposed to go around and things are going wrong? The world is terrible. Jesus Christ said, there’s trouble in the world. Remember this.

04:57 Our Lord and master, the husband of your soul has already told us clearly there is trouble in the world. There is trouble. Don’t ever think there’s no trouble.

05:06 When trouble comes, Christians get shocked. Shocked, you know, they’re shocked, they get shocked and they’re shocked. And I used to be shocked at just being shocked.

05:12 I used to get shocked and say, why are they shocked when Jesus already said there will be trouble in this world if they do not know the word of God, they do not know the husband of your soul. They do not know what the husband of your soul has said.
He said that there is trouble in the world.

05:37 There will be trouble in the world. He has told that you know there will be trouble in the world. And therefore when people get shocked, I get shocked.

05:47 That means they do not know this word. They are Christians, but they do not know what Jesus has said. They are being told or falsely believed or falsely mistakenly believed.

05:57 Or the congregation or the pastor, whoever teaching them has never told them the scripture. That Jesus Christ, the husband of your soul, our Lord and master, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Son of the living God, has said there will be
trouble in this world. But of course, the next verse we must also remember.

06:18 But be of good cheer. I have overcome this world command, you know, be of good cheer. I’ve overcome this world.

06:27 So sadly, many Christians do not know there’ll be trouble in the world. So when they’re walking life because they believe this, be optimist, be optimist. Sudden trouble comes, they don’t know how to handle it.

06:36 They shock their crushed in their faith and many backslide the time. Oh, Jesus never do for me. God never takes care of me.

06:45 I followed Jesus so long already. Nothing happened. No, look at this problem I’m facing now.

06:49 I served Jesus so long. There are servants who are backslided. Can you imagine? They say I’ve served Jesus so long and so much.

06:57 I gave my life to him. You see what has happened now, why he didn’t take care? A tragedy in my family. My son, my daughter, this has happened.

07:06 My husband, my wife, this has happened. I serve Jesus Christ faithfully. Brothers and sisters, do not ever talk like this.

07:13 Please, I beg you. I beg you. That’s the word.

07:15 I beg you, please do not talk like this. You’re talking against the living God. You’re talking against the living God.

07:18 You’re talking against one who actually suffered and died for you and sacrificed everything for you. And you are talking against that God, the Almighty God, the Son of the living God. Do not talk like this.

07:39 Humble yourself to know when trouble comes. Remember this. Jesus already told us there will be trouble in the world.

07:47 But be of good cheer. How to be of good cheer? Start worshipping. But first examine yourself.

07:52 Did we sow? And we are reaping this? Many times Christians sow into something and they reap that. When they are reaping that, they are still thinking what happened? Why Jesus Christ didn’t save me. Now settle me.

08:06 No. When you sow, you will reap. Jesus has put the law.

08:09 What you sow, you will Reap. But don’t talk against Jesus Christ. Always talk about your heart and mind which has gone wrong.

08:17 It is us, brother. I am the problem, not Jesus Christ, not God. I am the problem.

08:24 Now, brothers and sisters, today the question is, are we going to be optimists or pessimists? Now remember, of course, pessimists, gloom and doom. Cannot you only invite more problems? Because when you begin to think gloom and doom, gloom and doom,
gloom and doom. Everything bad will be attracted to you.

08:41 Of course. But so being an optimist is it. Christians should be optimist.

08:48 The world will say, everything will be fine tomorrow. Everything there the thing will change and all that. Now, brothers and sisters, let’s look at some scriptures.

08:59 John 14:17. The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot see and take to its heart because it does not see him or know him. But you know him.

09:11 Because the Holy Spirit remains with you continually and will be in you. Can you imagine? The world cannot see the spirit of truth. So we need to get the spirit of truth.

09:23 That’s the Holy Spirit. First we have to live in truth. Jesus is the truth, I am the way, the truth and life.

09:29 You come to the way that is Jesus Christ. You begin to must follow the truth, accept the truth, and then only examine yourself brutally, truthfully, truthfully. Brutal.

09:41 You think exactly how wrong you are. What are wrong? What is your heart doing? What you are. Like a clinically true.

09:48 Look at yourself clinically, truthful. Like a clinician, like a doctor. Yes, this is wrong.

09:53 This is wrong. This is wrong. This is okay.

09:54 This is okay. This organ is fine. That organ is fine.

09:55 This organ is in trouble. We have to deal with it clinically, truthful, look at yourself in the spirit. You look at yourself, examine yourself clinically, truthfully, and then you will know what is wrong with you.

10:10 But to examine that, ask Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus. I ask the Holy Spirit to show me all the areas which is wrong in my heart and I want to change. Am I impatient? Am I getting angry? Is it a spirit of anger that’s coming on me?
Or there is inherent anger in me? Is there unforgiveness in me? Is there a spirit of unforgiveness that has caught me and I am unable to forgive? Then we can use the name of Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ.

10:38 Wash the heart, command the heart and mind to forgive and love for our own sake. Because when we have unforgiveness in us, the water also will change. The water structure will change and will go into Illness, all kind of problems.

10:52 So now those are other segments. So many segments there, brothers and sisters. Go to the grace of life.

10:57 There is a website, web page, a page called Power of Christ. Go there and look at the details. Call people, talk to them or email them.

11:06 They’ll send you the list. So many. 180 over recordings.

11:11 I think so, brothers and sisters, and you know each one, something will happen because of words of God, but you know him because the Holy Spirit remains with you continually and be in you. Now remember, we have the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth
inside us continually. Now we must walk in the truth now.

11:32 2nd Corinthians 4, 4. Up among them the God of this world, that Satan God is calling, Almighty God is calling this Satan God of this world. Remember that has blinded not the God of the earth, Earth belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ, but the world.

11:49 The world system, the way the world thinks has blinded the minds of the unbelieving who has it blinded the minds of the unbelieving, unbelieving world in Jesus Christ, in the truth of Jesus Christ to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light
of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. So God of this world, Satan has blinded the eyes of the unbelieving. If they don’t want to believe in Jesus Christ, the scales cannot fall down.

12:20 The scales must fall down by them turning to Jesus Christ. And that can only happen when you’re brokenhearted and contrite spirit. God says, if you’re brokenhearted, he is near to save.

12:31 If you have contrite spirit, he saves. Proverbs 3, 5, 6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight in all this.

12:42 The Catholic version I’m reading earlier I read amplified, amplified, both amplified. Now the Catholic version. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight in all your ways.

12:53 Acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight or straight your paths. So our path will only become straight when we trust in the Lord. Trust in the precepts of God, Trust in the precepts of Jesus Christ.

13:08 What he told us in the words of Jesus Christ, with all our heart and not to rely on our own mind, our own thinking. Don’t rely on own thinking, because and then when we do that and acknowledge him in all your ways, then our path becomes straight.
Now then there is time for optimism.

13:29 Therefore there’s in James 4, 13, 15, there are a couple of fellows going, say today or tomorrow we’ll go to that town, make big profit make big business and all that. And what will? And then we can keep it. And then nothing we need for rest of our
life.

13:44 But God said, look here, you’re merely a vapor, like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot that is visible for a little while, this is amplified, that is visible for a little while and then vanishes into thin air. Instead, you ought
to say, if the Lord wills. If the Lord wills, by the mercy of Christ, by Jesus, by grace of God, we will live and we will do this or that.

14:08 But if you say, I’ll go and do this and that and all. But of course, you have optimists. You have been trained to be optimistic.

14:14 Optimism, the way the world tells, does not work. Why? So you should not. A Christian should not be an optimist or a pessimist, for want of a better word.

14:25 I think a good word would be if we can create a new word. Christimist. Christimist.

14:33 Looks odd, sounds odd. Christimist instead of optimist. Pessimist.

14:40 Christy missed. I think that’s a better word. We must be Christy missed.

14:44 Why? Because Satan came to steal, kill and destroy. The ruler of the world is still there. He is now damaging people, damaging the world.

14:53 And friendship with the world is enmity with God. Why? Friendship with the world means you are submitting to Satan, the God of this world. Therefore, don’t follow the way the world says.

15:02 The world will say things about education, the world will say things about medicine, the state will. World will say about things of everything. Take a pill.

15:07 Take a pill. Take a pill. Pharmacological giants are holding the world at the medical world ransom.

15:14 Now the world system, if you follow the world system and not go to Christ first. Did I say not to take a pill? No, go to Christ first. Ask him.

15:24 And when you begin to hear Christ, then you know you have to take it in faith in Christ. God say, God allows this to take. This is good for you.

15:31 Then take the pill, then go to the hospital. But if you go on yourself, I’m optimist, I will go. You know what happened to Angelina Jolie? Oh, first pessimist, you know, there’s a 70% chance of breast cancer.

15:45 Breast cancer. And then after that, he said, okay, I’m an optimist, I’ll remove my breast mastectomy. And she also removed the ovaries.

15:54 And then she thinks he’s optimist, everything is fine. But now, poor woman, I think she’s suffering some cancer or something, you know, and she look at the countenance and the physical and all pitiful. She’s a captive.

16:06 Well, if you think of her. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind the spirit of death over Angelina Jolie and ask for mercy for her, Lord. Lord Jesus Christ, I ask for mercy for her.

16:16 I plead the blood of Jesus on Angelina from head to toe and surround her with fire of the Holy Ghost. Fire of the Holy Ghost. Lord, Let her spiritual eyes be opened and she turned to you.

16:26 No matter what captivity or whatever she’s doing. Lord. Lord.

16:30 Mercy, Lord. Likewise all of us. Go to the Lord.

16:34 Trust not in your own understanding, but in Jesus Christ. And let’s be a Christ optimist. The devil still steal from the fellows.

16:43 You can be optimist. Ha ha. No, no, it’s not going to work.

16:46 Because the devil can steal, kill and destroy. And he is not. So the optimist fellows have forgotten the third party player.

16:52 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray all of us become Christ. Amen. Amen.

for My name’s sake and have not become weary.

4 Nevertheless I have this against you,
that you have left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen;
repent and do the first works, or
else I will come to you quickly and
remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

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.

AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 28-11-2015 My first love, part two My first love, part two. Brothers and sisters, before we start on the daily, we remind ourselves some of the things that we
might have forgotten. First of all, mark 1617.

00:24 These signs will accompany those who believe. Those who believe in Jesus Christ, that he died on the cross and rose again and gave you his precious blood and washed your sins away and you want to follow him. He is your Lord and master now and he is
your husband of your soul.

00:42 By using his name they will cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Will cast out demons? What demons? First of all, cast out fear, confusion, everything from us. Because this is a wonderful way, a powerful way to live our life.

00:56 This is why Jesus had to die on the cross to do this for us. So that we can live this life in power, not in some form of godliness. That’s what the scripture says.

01:07 In some form of godliness without the power thereof. Many live like this. Some form of godliness without the power.

01:16 The power here is from Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ will cast out a fear and any other temptation. Temptation.

01:24 Last we command the name of Jesus Christ. Command our heart not to follow the things of the world. Not to follow the temptation.

01:31 Not to cast out the spirit of anger and cast out the spirit of unforgiveness. In the name of Jesus Christ. We must remember these brothers and sisters.

01:40 And we have to do whenever some of the spirit attacking we have to do. And that you can only do when we examine ourselves. That is why we have to examine ourselves.

01:50 We have to. There’s no other way. Examination is part of us.

01:53 We do not. We need to examine ourselves daily, particularly in the bed before we go to sleep. And then we have Kalish.

02:00 And then we have another scripture which says, anybody with grace. God gives more grace to the humble. God gives us grace to the humble.

02:09 That is, in James 4:6, God gives grace to the humble, but he opposes the proud. Apostles are proud. And then in James 1:22 it said, Be doer of the word, not just hearers deceiving ourselves.

02:23 Do not, it says, be doers of the Word and not hearers only deceiving yourselves. If I do not do what the word of God tells me, I just hear, hear, hear, hear, hear. God’s word says, I am deceiving myself.

02:39 And the examination is in 2 Corinthians 13:5. Examine and test and evaluate your own selves and whether we are counterfeit Faith or whatever, whether we are counterfeit, whether we are false Christians. Then in Galatians 6:3 it says, if anyone
thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

03:02 Therefore let us humble ourselves. We are all nothing. Brothers and sisters, from dust we came, unto dust we shall return only by the mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord.

03:12 Souls will go back to Him. Our Spirit will be with him. Now, in First Corinthians 8:2, those who think they know something do not yet know anything as they should.

03:24 That’s a simplified version. That’s easy. Easy to read version.

03:28 Those who know something, they do not know anything as they ought to know as yet. So now we may understand that whatever thing we know, that I keep applying to that myself daily, for a long time now, for years, why, there’s a danger in me that
suddenly my heart will think I know. This is a very big danger.

03:48 Suddenly the heart will think I know and I forget to control my heart. Then the thing will act funny. Then everything is going to go haywire and I’m giving the devil a big foothold for him to come and steal, kill and destroy.

04:01 And of course, love your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. And love your neighbour as you love yourself, love your neighbor as yourself, and do this and you will live. Meaning if we do not love our neighbor as ourselves, we may be
loving God.

04:15 And we do not love your neighbor as yourself means we are really not loving God. So if you love your neighbor as yourself and you will live. And of course for us, even love your enemies.

04:26 If we want to be sons of the Most High God. And we can do how in the name of Jesus Christ, we can cast out, we can command our heart and mind to do this. Now today, brothers and sisters, we are back to this, my first love, because it’s a very
wonderful topic.

04:43 Now, having said that, a wonderful topic, let’s look at the verse again, what God taught us yesterday. First, first love is the love we have for Christ. The love we have for Christ.

05:01 First must come Christ Jesus the Christ. Why? He is God, Father. God is God, the Holy Spirit, God.

05:08 Three of them are one. And this is a mystery. But the mystery or not, we can easily look at it in many, many different ways.

05:16 Like water. Water can be vapor. Water can be ice, Water can be liquid.

05:22 Now they have even found different forms of water. Scientists, you know. Now having said that, we can also look at this way to understand deeply.

05:30 The word of God was with God and in God, in Father God. When our Father God spoke The Word was the one. That is the one.

05:39 Jesus Christ is the word of God was, is and ever will be. Everything was created by Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ, through Jesus Christ, through the Word, for the Word, by the Word, and then the Spirit of God. Of course, the Holy Spirit is in
Father God.

05:54 Now the Holy Spirit also is God, because it is in. Because he, the Holy Spirit is in Father God. The Word of God, Jesus Christ is in Father God.

06:03 Now what happened? Jesus Christ had to come out. The word of God had to come out and took the form of a man so that can suffer as a man and pay the sacrifice for all mankind. Whoever want to believe in him will have freedom, be set free from the
captivity of the devil.

06:19 Now thank Jesus Christ for his love that took him to suffer like that. Now, here, Revelation 2:1 5. The Word of God was saying, right, I know your works, your labour, your patience, and you cannot bear those who are evil.

06:37 You have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and found them liars. And you have persevered and have patience and have laboured for my name’s sake. Have not become weary and have not become weary.

06:50 Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore, from where you have fallen. Repent and do the first works.

07:00 Or else I’ll come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent. Now, quite clearly, the critical word for us is this. Remember therefore, where you have fallen from is of course repent and do the first works.

07:14 That means once we have left the first love, we have to get back. To have Jesus Christ as our first love, all we have to do is repent. That means repent is what? Turn away.

07:28 Turn away from our old selves. And I’m looking for the. I’m looking for.

07:41 I will remove repent from its place unless you repent. Now. The repent is actually turning away.

07:48 Not just saying, I will turn away and all that, but actually turning away and making sure that now we do the right thing. To do the right thing. Very simple.

07:57 How to do the right thing? We are supposed to do the right thing. How? Because he said what? Very simply, he said, repent and do the first works. And what’s the work of God? We have proven in 1 John 6:28, 29.

08:12 The work of God is believing in the One whom He sent. And the work of God believing in the One whom He sent means believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom Father God sent, the God Almighty sent. Therefore it is easy.

08:25 It is Easy to go back to our first love. When we understand this, that we believe in the one whom he sent, we begin to put our faith, everything in Jesus Christ and not be drawn away as the heart and mind will tell us. Our training will tell us to
put our faith in what the world says.

08:40 Now let’s look some examples. Now let us say there is a job you have and then the boss or somebody, they’re having difficulties maybe in the job, the boss or somebody saying, look here, I want you to fill up these forms for the bank and I want you
to fill up with these numbers and all that which of course you know, may be fraudulent. They’re trying to put another face to the bank, trying to tell you to tell things which are not true.

09:09 Now you are the person who is supposed to fill up these forms and sign these forms even, but you know it’s wrong because you are a follower of Jesus Christ. Now this is where the first love comes. Do you love your job so much? Do you fear that you
lose your job? Love your job so much can also be fear of loss of job, you know.

09:23 Do you fear that you lose your job? All kind of fear takes place that you said, okay, Jesus Christ will understand that. I’ll just lie here for the boss, because I’m supposed to. Now we can also take scripture out of context.

09:42 One scripture says, serve your master’s well. So the devil will tell you. Your mind will tell you.

09:47 Serve my master well. So I will just fill up this form as the master says. I’m supposed to serve the master well.

09:52 Lord Jesus Christ, it is your word which says I must serve my master well. So I will fill up this fraudulent thing. No, you put your trust in Jesus Christ.

10:01 Believe in the one whom he sent. He said, all liars will burn in the lake of fire. He didn’t say, those who call themselves Christians and lie won’t burn in the lake of fire.

10:11 All liars. If you’re practicing sin, if you fell into sin now remember this, if you fell into sin, immediately there will be conviction because the Holy Spirit will convict you. You are wrong.

10:21 And all you straightaway start, sorry, Lord, Sorry Lord, and begin to rectify and settle things. But if you are practicing sin, that was Jesus very clear in John. Those who are practicing sin, they are born of the devil.

10:35 That means they don’t have this born of the Spirit yet. They do not have the first love of Jesus Christ yet. They do not.

10:43 I was practicing sin, so I am not condemning anybody here. I was practicing sin, and although I was Supposed to be some kind of Christian, which really never bothered. I was practicing sin.

10:54 And the more I was practicing sin, the more religious my wife was becoming. She’ll do all the religious activities, novenas and what have you. So when we have this situation, if you are practicing sin, brothers and sisters, today is the day to turn
and call on Jesus Christ and say, lord Jesus, I don’t want to sin anymore.

11:14 I want to be pleasing to your sight. You want to be pleasing to your sight. So therefore, and you want to be born of the Spirit.

11:22 I’ve dealt with another segment. What is being born of the Spirit? Because born of the spirit is born again. If you’re not born of the Spirit, you’re still born of the flesh.

11:30 You won’t be able to overcome these temptations. So I understand the problem you’re facing. So you have to be born of the Spirit means now you have some awe and reverence for Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

11:42 And you begin to crave for the Word of God and begin to meditate on the Word of God. And you begin to overcome your overcomers. Jesus Christ is looking for overcomers and he has given us his blood.

11:54 We can say, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus. You don’t know any prayer also brother or sister. You just say, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus.

12:05 The temptation will move away from you. The fear will move away from you. You will then be able to stand boldly and say, sorry, sir, I cannot do this because I made an o oath.

12:14 I got taken an oath with Jesus Christ that I will not do any wrong. I’m not saying anything to you, sir, but please, I made an oath. If I do this, I’m breaking the oath and I will suffer.

12:27 So you have to make a stand. But you can make a stand in the power of Jesus Christ by the blood of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ.

12:34 You can make a stand because you want to do the work of God. And the work of God is your first work is what? Believing in the One Whom he sent. And that action when you do, you have come back to your first love.

12:49 Because you are believing Jesus Christ will take care of you. Whether the job is God or not God or God or whatever. Jesus Christ is a provider.

12:59 He will take care of you. You’ll begin to go and look for scriptures seeking the kingdom of God and righteousness first. And all these things will be added.

13:06 And you begin to work on that and begin to cast out the fear and stand for truth because you are a child of God. Likewise, same thing whenever we face other things. You stand for what is right.

13:20 Let us say there is a drunken husband. Remember I was drunken. Of course.

13:26 I didn’t take money from my wife because I was blessed. I spoke about the devil’s blessing. The devil was blessing me.

13:32 I didn’t know I was just taking the blessing and using the money for wrong things. The drunken husband taking money from a wife, a Christian wife follower, or the drunken son or daughter having habits, taking gambling or whatever. Then you keep
giving the money as a child of God because you’re afraid what they will do.

13:55 Some people say, keep the peace, keep the peace. That’s false. Peace.

13:59 Keep the peace, keep the peace. And you begin to give the children what they want. And all because you don’t want to get into all this problems.

14:05 So what happens, that is you have fallen from your first love. Because first love says you not support sin. You will hate everything that’s evil.

14:15 You don’t hate them, you love them. Love your husband, love your children and all that. But you cannot support the evil they are doing, so you cannot give.

14:23 My husband may bang me up. That is when the first love, your faith in Christ has to come. You are standing for Christ and standing for righteousness.

14:32 Yes, it is tough. It is. It is hard.

14:34 But this is when your faith will be tested. When you begin to hold on to Jesus Christ and say, lord, you are my first love. I just believe in you, that somehow or other you settle me, you take care of me.

14:46 Whatever it is, Lord, even if they hammer me, I take it because I do not want to sin against you. I do not want to cause sin to these people and feed their sin and damage them and cause them into damnation. You don’t want.

14:58 So you are making a stand. It’s not easy, brothers and sisters. I know that there are things I had to stand after coming to Christ.

15:05 It was not easy being drawn to the world. Drawn to the world when we have not enough money. We are drawn to the world to do some things in the world.

15:13 No. But the mercy of God helped me. So I didn’t go back and do the world work because I thought, okay, then somebody offering me general manager’s post again.

15:23 I can go back and all the income will come again. But then Jesus said, you go back there, you’ll fall into all these sins again what you were doing earlier. And I have called you into being a pastor.

15:34 I will provide for you. Then I hang on to Jesus Christ. I didn’t go and take that job like before.

15:40 And then somehow, rather, Jesus sees us through. And that is when we rejoice and say it’s a miracle how Jesus has seen us through month by month and has finally provided us more than enough. And it’s given us peace and righteousness and joy and
relationship, a loving family and a family in Christ that surrounds me.

16:00 That family in Christ is the church that I’m pastoring for Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, we must stand for the first love. It’s not easy, but you stand in faith and go back to his word, his promises and hold on, hold on.

16:15 Hold on, brother. Hold on, sister. In the name of Jesus Christ, your faith is Jesus Christ.

16:21 Your faith, your. Your hope is in Jesus Christ. Your works, that is, believing in the One Whom he sent.

16:29 Believing in Jesus Christ’s commands and the provisions and the offers and the promises. Believing in His Word. Believing in His Word.

16:37 Read the Word, meditate the Word, and you see miracles happen. And then people say, boy, this man fantastic. This woman says, jesus Christ, brother.

16:46 Jesus Christ, sister. It’s not me. In Jesus name I pray.

16:50 Amen, brothers and sisters, Amen.

AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 27th November 2015 titled My First Love. My First Love. Brothers and sisters, as I keep telling our today has been determined from how we went to sleep last night
before we went to sleep.

00:20 It determines what was going to happen today, why, how we have cleaned ourselves out of spiritual. All the bad demons and negative forces and evil spirits and deposits they put into us our thoughts, our toxic thoughts, our toxic feelings and all
that bad feelings against people or even upset somebody has upset you. We cannot go to sleep like that.

00:42 We have to go to sleep in the peace of Christ to clear everything out. It’s a wonderful thing Jesus Christ has done for us. He had to suffer like that, die on the cross, rose again and then he loves us to say, I give you power.

00:59 He has to do all that to give us power to use his name. Can you imagine? He gives us power to use his name and call on his blood and we can live a life well. Although there will be trouble all over the world here around us, the families this and
that.

01:15 But we will have righteousness, peace and joy when we seek the kingdom of God, which is righteousness, peace and joy. Brothers and sisters, I keep reminding this because it’s critical. Before sleeping, talk to your heart, commune to your heart,
meditate on the issues, cast out every rubbish that we’ve collected or whatever and then receive love, love of God and to love for others, release love.

01:38 Think of these people who did something to you and you’re upset or whatever. Forgive them in the name of Jesus Christ. Your heart doesn’t want to forgive, that’s okay.

01:48 You command the fellow to forgive, command the heart and mind to forgive in the name of Jesus Christ. And then we go to sleep having love for everyone, having love for God and having love for others. In Jesus name I pray.

01:53 And then we sleep the sweet sleep of the righteous. Get up in the morning and those who are older or whatever, not well, whatever you are having, this thought will come. Cast it out.

02:11 Have faith in Christ. Now. When we trust Jesus means we surrender to him.

02:16 Means we refuse to think of those things. But we meditate on the things that we need to do even for those issues. Brothers, research.

02:24 Today the title is My First Love. Now the word Hollywood, Bollywood. As we do not know if Madras is from Chennai, Bollywood is from Delhi, from North India, Collywood is South India and Hollywood of course, everybody knows San Francisco, Los Angeles
and all that.

02:51 Brothers and sisters, the world will make us only love things and make us Believe that we can only love what we see. And that causes a lot of problems. Because you see the first love.

03:06 Yes, those of us who have had our first love, we would have experienced and the world will tell us to feel things, go by sight, go by hearing. What is our first love? It can be a thing, but it can also be people. But mostly it is people.

03:22 Person. A person. If you have that person as a first love, trouble comes.

03:27 Why? The human being, however much the person loves you, will fail in areas. In some areas, because he is a human being, he or she is a human being. He or she has faces and all kinds of problems that you face, you and I face.

03:45 And when they face, and if they don’t have Christ, they will end up not being able to respond in the way you expect, the way you expect. Because your heart and mind would have expected certain things. And then suddenly you’re disappointed, you are
hurt and all that.

04:00 And plus, we cannot allow ourselves also to be first love for somebody. Even in a husband and wife case, you cannot allow your husband to be the first love for you and the wife to be a first love for the husband. And we cannot allow ourselves to be
considered first love by our wife or by our husband.

04:18 Because human love is fraught, is full of dangers, full of difficulties, and full of unsettling unexpectations or expectations cannot be fulfilled. And all this. So therefore God has a word for this.

04:37 Lord Jesus Christ clearly said, love God with all your heart. What’s the highest command? The first commandment is love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

04:48 That’s the first command. So now we read the Book of Revelation, chapter 2, verses 1 to 5, and you will see what God, Jesus Christ is saying to us. Is the word of God, what is he representing here? And we are titled it.

05:04 27th of November 2015. My first love. Revelation 2:1.

05:09 Onward 1:5 to the angel of the church of Ephesus, write, this is the Lord God has ordered the angel of the church of Ephesus to write. But this applies to all of us. These things says he who holds the seven stars in his hand, in his right hand, who
walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands.

05:22 These things says he who, Jesus Christ, who holds the seven stars in his right hand. Each star representing a type of church, a kind of church. So we are not discussing those things in detail today.

05:50 In his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lancet, there are seven types of churches. Two I know your works. He’s talking to this Ephesus church and he says I know your work.

06:05 Jesus Christ telling I know your works, your labor, your patience. This wonderful isn’t it? He knows our works, our labor, my patience. He knows and that you cannot bear those who are evil and I cannot bear those who are evil.

06:18 People doing evil things to people around we cannot bear, we don’t like it. We want people to do the right thing. We want to do ourselves the right thing first.

06:26 And we cannot bear people doing the wrong things. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not and have found them liars. You see there are a lot of self appointed apostles running around.

06:38 Some association appoints them apostles and running around. And God says Jesus Christ says here you have tested them and found them to be liars. 3 and you have persevered and have patience and and have labored for my name’s sake and have not become
weary.

06:55 Is he persevered? I suppose I pray I persevered and with patience and labored for his name’s sake. And I’ve not become weary. I hope I’ve not labored for my own case, my own agenda, but for Jesus name sake and have not become weary.

07:14 For nevertheless I have this against you. Can you imagine Jesus saying you have done all this? That I have done all this? Your works, your labor, your patience. He knows all this.

07:23 I have tested apostles and found them to be liars, those who call themselves apostles. And I have persevered and have patience and have labored for his name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you.

07:37 So I have to ask myself what Jesus says next. Is this applying to me? I must examine deeply to make sure that I’m not simply superficially examining. I must examine it.

07:47 Nevertheless I have this against you that you have left your first love. You left your first love. Now this you have to examine brothers and sisters, you might have worked all the works and labor your patience.

07:59 And you tested the so called apostles and found them to be liars. And you stayed away and you do not want to be part of any evil. And then you persevered and have patience and have labored for his namesake and have not become weary.

08:14 Yet Jesus Christ says with all this we’ve done, nevertheless I have this against you that you have left your first love. Your first love must be who? Jesus Christ of Nazareth. That’s our first love.

08:28 Now can you imagine you have not left your first love. The question I have when I First read this years ago was how have I Have I left My first love, that is Jesus Christ? Have you left your first love, that is Jesus Christ,? Have I left my first
love, that is Jesus Christ’? Not all the worldly songs are not my first love. There’s songs and all that.

08:49 There’s only you in my life. That’s right. Yes.

08:53 But the person is putting his faith in a person. Jesus already said, do not put your faith in a person. We trust them, but we know they are limited as human beings.

09:03 So we can’t put our faith in them. Our faith has to be in Jesus Christ, who is unlimited. Now.

09:09 Have I. This is a question each of us have to ask today. Have you left your first love? While we are doing all this work for God, we think and then labor. We are patient.

09:19 He says, I recognize that. I know you are doing this. Jesus says, and you are also testing apostles.

09:25 Remember I talked about these false apostles and all that. We have tested them, found them to be liars. And we have persevered.

09:32 Yes, I persevered and have patience. I’ve labored for his name’s sake. Yes.

09:36 Have not become weary. Yes, I get up by his grace and mercy every morning and every day throughout the day and night. I minister or whatever people need.

09:44 I start doing this. And now, yes, but nevertheless, nevertheless, he’s talking to me. Jesus Christ talking to me.

09:51 I have this against you that you have left your first love. So I have to examine this. I have to.

09:56 Have I left my first love? How to know? How to know whether we left our first love? Jesus says, love your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. But how to know that whether I have left my first love? And I’m telling you, this has
happened to me over the years, off and on. God will remind me, I’ve left this.

10:09 I have left this. I’ve left my first love. He remind me and I immediately come back on track.

10:22 Why? I know when the spirit of God convicts me in my spirit that I’ve left the first love. I immediately stop everything and begin to come back to him, to do the right thing that he wants. But how will I know what is the test? And this is the test.

10:35 You need to know. This is extremely important. You learn this.

10:38 You’re keeping track. Your first love is Jesus Christ and you have not left him. Because when your heart and mind takes you away from your first love, you bring it back in the name of Jesus Christ.

10:50 He must be a first love. Not the pastor, not the priest, not the husband, not your wife. Not your children, not this, not relatives, not the things of the world, not your job, not your.

11:00 But the first love is Jesus Christ. What is the first love and how to know what is love? Birth. We know that Jesus Christ.

11:07 But how to know whether we are actually living our first love or not? Now we will go to 5, verse 5. This is Revelation 2. 5.

11:18 Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen. Repent and do the first works. Or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent.

11:31 Remember, always a question of repentance. It’s an issue of repentance. Whenever we do wrong, we have to repent, not just say sorry.

11:38 Repentance is more than that turning away. I’ll come to that a little later. So we have to repent now.

11:43 Here’s what Jesus is saying. Remember from where you have fallen. So when I am living my first love, where my heart and mind has left my first love, that is Jesus Christ.

11:52 In the last 20 years I am serving, there are several times during the period God has reminded me and I felt it or I felt it, sensed it, that hey, I am not keeping Jesus Christ number one. There are other things encroaching into my life. There are
other things encroaching into my mind and soul.

12:04 There are other things. Encroaching means we moving inside there and taking whole step by step. They come slowly.

12:17 Remember, the worldly issue will come slowly step by step. You won’t sense it, you may not realize it, but this scripture will keep us in check because we have to check. Have I left my first love, therefore where you have fallen? Remember, he says
repent and do the first works.

12:31 Or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent. Lancet means the church will have powerless like it removes the power from the church. And there’s really no church that you.

12:45 You. You are not part of the church. You are not part of it.

12:48 We are all part of the church. We are part of the body of Christ. So remember lamps.

12:53 I mean, we are not attached to this thing that there is no, there’s no hold nothing to hold on to that we are part of Jesus Christ. So he said, remove the power. He removes everything attached to it.

13:03 So believing that thing shouldn’t happen, brothers and sisters, shouldn’t happen if we examine ourselves and repent and do the first works. Now this is the key. Repent and do the first works.

13:15 But what is the first works? The first works is what in John 6, 28 and 29. When they said to him, I’m reading from the Catholic version. Earlier I was reading from the new King James version.

13:27 Here I’m reading from the Catholic version. Then they said to him, John 6:28. Then they said to him, what must we do to perform the works of God? 29 Jesus answered them, this is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.

13:44 That you believe in him whom he has sent. Now, this is the first work. This is the work of God, right? By knowing this, we will know that whether we are having the first love or not.

13:55 Now, repentance, exchange yourself, inner self, your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior, and seek God’s will. Repentance actually is removing our old way of thinking, our sinful behavior and seeking God’s will. And do the works you did at
first means when you first knew me.

14:13 He says, amplified, says the first work that you do means do the works when you did at first. First when you knew me. When I first knew Christ, what was I doing? How was my heart? And then he said, he’ll remove all this unless we repent.

14:28 Now, remove the lampstand means the church. He’ll remove the church. I mean, the church is not powerless.

14:33 It’s not part of him, that particular group of people or whatever. Yeah. So now here, brothers and sisters, the requirement here is very simple.

14:42 We must know what are first love. But to know where your first love means we must be doing the first works. That’s key.

14:49 5. Repent and do the first works. When we’re doing the first works, then we know we have our first love.

14:55 This key again. We know we are still, we have the first love in our heart and mind. When we do the first works, what is the work of God? Believing in the One whom He sent.

15:05 Everything we do, we must believe in Him. We suddenly, suddenly begin to believe what the world says, what the history book says, what the economic says, what the treasury says, what the people of the world say and what the doctors say, what the
lawyers say. We believe that.

15:23 What science says. We believe that, then we are not believing Jesus Christ. What’s the work of God? Believing in Jesus Christ, believing in the one whom he sent.

15:32 That’s how we know whether we left the first love or not. Because we begin to believe the world and we begin to believe the signs. We begin to believe the hospitals and the doctors above Jesus Christ.

15:45 That’s why bring everything under the subjection of God, every thought. Believing doctors, believing lawyers, believing engineers, believing the economist, believing the accountants. Believing the Auditors, believing this above the word of God,
above Jesus Christ.

15:59 Then you have lost your first love. You’ve moved away from your first love. You do not have your first love.

16:04 You first believe in Jesus Christ. That’s the work of God. By what we do when we come back to the first.

16:10 Repent from where you’ve fallen. Remember where you’ve fallen from. Repent and do the first works.

16:14 Then you have the first love. First work is what? Believing in the One Whom he sent. So we keep on believing Jesus Christ.

16:22 First go to His Word. What he says is important. Seek His Word.

16:26 When you begin to seek His Word and apply in your own life on the issues that you’re facing, then you are having the first love. But if we do not lean on His Word, you’re not leaning on Jesus Christ. Then you’re away from your first love.

16:41 Then we have trouble. Then we have trouble. Brother.

16:43 It’s very simple. How to know when you’re fallen from where you’re fallen. And not having your first love is when you’re not doing the first words, which is believing in the name of Jesus Christ and everything that in your life.

16:57 Amen.

“These are the words of the One who holds [firmly] the seven stars [which are the angels or messengers of the seven churches]
in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands (the seven churches):

2 ‘I know your deeds and your toil, and your patient endurance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and
have tested and critically appraised those who call themselves apostles (special messengers,
personally chosen representatives, of Christ), and [in fact] are not, and have found them to be liars and impostors;

3 and [I know that] you [who believe] are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My name’s sake, and
that you have not grown weary [of being faithful to the truth].

4 But I have this [charge] against you,that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].

5 So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—
seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise,
I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent.
