13. Practice secret disciplines (giving, praying, fasting) โMatthew 6:1-18
Matthew 6:1-18 Amplified Bible (AMP)Giving to the Poor and Prayer 1 โBe [very] careful not to do your [a]good deeds publicly,
to be seen by men; otherwise you will have no reward
[prepared and awaiting you] with your Father who is in heaven. 2 โSo whenever you give to the poor and do acts of kindness,
do not blow a trumpet before you [to advertise it],
as the hypocrites do [like actors acting out a role] in the synagogues
and in the streets, so that they may be honored and
recognized and praised by men. I assure you and
most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full.3 But when you give to the poor and do acts of kindness,
do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
[give in complete secrecy],4 so that your charitable acts will be done in secret;
and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you. 5 โAlso, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites;
for they love to pray [publicly] standing in the synagogues
and on the corners of the streets so that they may be seen by men.
I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
they [already] have their reward in full.6 But when you pray, go into your most private room,
close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret,
and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you. 7 โAnd when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition
as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard
because of their many words.8 So do not be like them [praying as they do];
for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. 9 โPray, then, [b]in this way: โOur Father who is in heaven, [c]Hallowed be Your name. 10 โ[d]Your kingdom come, Your [e]will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 โGive us this day our [f]daily bread. 12 โAnd forgive us our [g]debts, as we have forgiven our debtors
[letting go of both the wrong and the resentment]. 13 โAnd do not [h]lead us into temptation, but deliver us from [i]evil.
[j][For Yours is the kingdom and the power and
the glory forever. Amen.]โ 14 For if you forgive [k]others their trespasses
[their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly
Father will also forgive you.15 But if you do not forgive others
[nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that
it interferes with your relationship with God],
then your Father will not forgive your trespasses. Fasting, The True Treasure, Wealth (Mammon) 16 โAnd whenever you are fasting,
do not look gloomy like the hypocrites,
for they put on a sad and dismal face [like actors,
discoloring their faces with ashes or dirt]
so that their fasting may be seen by men.
I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
they [already] have their reward in full.17 But when you fast, put oil on your head
[as you normally would to groom your hair] and wash your face18 so that your fasting will not be noticed by people,
but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees
[what is done] in secret will reward you.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 25 February 2016 Practice secret disciplines Practice secret disciplines. This title was what was given on the website. Remember we are doing the 50 commands of
Jesus Christ that they have collected.00:17 It may not be perfect, it may be some 50 something or not, it doesn’t matter. We will use that because even we know some of these commandments and we obey. Brothers and sisters, the effect, the powerful benefit for each of us just have to obey the
words of Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Master, husband of our soul, the one who suffered and died and rose again, even went to hell for me.00:44 Oh I find this brothers and sisters, as I said in the graceoflife.com there is this download mp3 you can download whereby the words of Jesus have been put into a one hour cd. You just play it on and on, download it and play it on and on. In your
room thinking and meditating on what Jesus words are, we find tremendous benefit.01:10 And also play it for your children. You will find it tremendous benefit because it goes into the spirit. Even when you are not meditating on it, even when you are sleeping, your spirit man is still absorbing it.
01:21 Your spirit man is absorbing it. Your children’s spirit man is absorbing it. And it will happen.
01:26 The spirit of God will then use it to move us. Brothers and sisters, listening to the word of God is an important good thing for us. It’s a good thing.
01:38 It’s a useful thing. The Word of God will change us from inside us. Brothers and sisters, this title given by this website and then it’s a very long scripture.
01:48 Here it is. Matthew 6:1 18. We’ll do as much as we can today because we need to get to the understanding behind these things and behind what’s happening in the world.
01:58 Brothers, first of all is a subtitle to that is saying Giving to the poor and prayer. Giving to the poor and prayer. Be very careful.
02:07 Matthew 6:1 Be very careful not to do your good deeds publicly to be seen by men. And otherwise you will have no reward. No reward prepared and waiting for you.
02:18 In bracket it says this is the amplified version with your Father who is in heaven. Be very careful. He says amplified.
02:25 It’s not just be careful. Amplify saying be very careful. Because when they look at the Greek and the Hebrew translations, the impact on the word While the simple English word be careful, the actual meaning is be very, very careful.
02:41 Be extremely careful not to do your good deeds publicly to be seen by men. Otherwise you will have no reward prepared and awaiting you with your Father who is in heaven. 2 so whenever you give to the poor, do acts of kindness, do not blow a trumpet
before you to advertise it as a hypocrite.03:04 Do the hypocrites, they define this as like actors acting out a role in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may be honoured and recognized and praised by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you they already have their reward in
full. So now 2 is saying, so whenever you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not blow a trumpet before you to advertise it as like hypocrites, do like actors acting out a role in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may be
honored and recognized and praised by men.03:14 I assure you and most honestly say to you they already have their reward in full. Where the reward, the people say, oh, this person is so kind, so good, he’s doing this for the poor, he’s doing this. So when you begin to do this with this intention
and you blow trumpet like the hypocrites, do you already know reward.03:56 So therefore, when we give to the poor and do acts of kindness, Jesus Christ is commanding us to be in secret, not blowing our trumpet and all. Of course, sometimes you will be giving people in the public you may be giving, let’s say a beggar is
there and then you put money and others are seeing it. This doesn’t apply to that, because you are there, the beggar is there.04:20 Whoever is begging or suffering or somebody has got some disability and they are there. And you are led in the spirit to put some money that also. Brothers and sisters, please ask Jesus Christ, ask the Spirit of God whether to give 1, 2, how much to
give because the monies are not yours anymore.04:38 It’s not mine anymore. When we come to Jesus Christ, we have surrendered all. We have surrendered all.
04:44 That means nothing belongs to us. Everything belongs to him. And that is a safe place to be.
04:49 Why, if it belongs to you, the devil will steal, kill and destroy. If it belongs to Christ, you cannot steal, kill and destroy. But it’s not important enough just to say by words, oh, it belongs to Christ, it belongs to Christ.
05:02 But actually you act as if it’s yours. Suppose I say belong to Christ, I surrender. Door.
05:07 And then whenever something I want to make decision, I make decision on my own. I take the money I have and decide to do what I want. Do not wait on the Lord Jesus Christ.
05:13 Do not wait on the spirit of God to give me an understanding. What do I do. Then what will happen is the money finally be stolen and you will still be suffering for no reason.
05:26 And again you won’t have reward because you did not give or do things according to what the Spirit of God is telling you. Very important brothers and sisters, before you give, before you do something with the money that God has given you, you
consult him, you ask him, he’s the husband of your soul. He’s just like a husband and wife.05:46 When the husband has given the wife some money to take out the house and this and that, and then buy the provisions or whatever. If she wants to buy something else other than that, doesn’t she have to ask her husband? I’m talking about a good God
fearing wife. If you’re talking about a wife who doesn’t care about God.06:03 And then it’s not a born again family, it’s not born again spirit. They’re not following Christ, this family is not following Christ. Don’t expect that because they don’t understand these things.
06:12 You think when we were not in Christ, you think we were all following the rules of Christ? No, we were just doing what we wanted. But we believe because we don’t have Christ, we don’t have consultation, we just have to go and do and have to fend for
ourselves, fend for ourselves and master ourselves up again. Now before I come back to this, let me finish one more verse.06:33 3. When you give to the poor, do acts of kindness. Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
06:41 Give in complete secrecy. Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give incomplete secrecy so that when your charitable acts will be done in secret, and your Father who sees what you’ve done in secret, will reward you.
06:56 Remember, the reward only comes when you do in secrecy. If you are doing it for for the benefit of people, you’re blowing a trumpet. There’s no reward.
07:07 But more importantly, a disciple will consult, will ask Jesus Christ, what do I do with this money? And a disciple will also, if not sure, some extraordinary expenses out of the normal expenditure you’re doing out of the normal purchases, you will
sit and take counsel among your brethren. Two or three godly counsel gives you safety. Do not operate on your own because you have a family in Christ.07:36 That is, if you are in a congregation that really established in Christ, caring and loving for one another as Jesus Christ has loved us. That’s the second highest commandment. If you do not have that family in Christ, then obviously you have a
situation.07:48 Then you have to wait on the Lord Jesus Christ and do by yourself. But remember what you are spending. The money is not yours anymore.
07:57 It’s not mine anymore. It is his And I love that position. You know why? It’s safe when we listen to Jesus Christ, the spirit of God do this.
08:06 Spend here, don’t spend here, give here, don’t give there. Is it safe because the spirit of God is doing now let us say you heard wrongly. He says give somewhere and then you believe that you’re giving because Jesus has told you then you’re giving
that you’ll still be protected if you are hearing in sincerity.08:26 In sincerity. If your heart already wants something and then you want to buy that and then you are forcing yourself to look for signals and signs from Jesus Christ, spirit of God to buy that that is not sincere. If it’s not sincere insincere then
you will not get the protection from Christ because it’s insincere.08:46 You are moving your own way. Brother. Is giving business an important thing now? One of the earliest things what happened was it’s only a few weeks after I’ve come to the Lord.
08:57 I was going to church and they used to have healing and deliverance ministry. I think it’s Wednesday. I think they have it at 3 o’clock.
09:05 I think so. They used to have there at 2 o’clock or 2:30. I forgot then I used to rush there from some distance away because we were in Patanjaya and this in care.
09:18 So now so I will drive and I’m so working at the time. So time problem. So last day I was dash there.
09:28 So one day I was doing that and parked up there park it and his is going on in chow kit. So I parked there and there I saw one boy. I can see the brother asking money for when I parked the car.
09:41 He wants money because I parking the car there. And I know looking I being in spirit. This fella if I if I don’t give him he may scratch the car.
09:50 So I gave him 50 cents. I gave him 50 cents. Now as soon as I gave him 50 cents and I moving away because I don’t want the card to be scratched.
10:02 I know this cap is also a drug addict. So I start scratching it because I’m looking like it. Anyway thank Jesus Christ then conviction my spirit.
10:12 I walk in Jesus the spirit of God telling me impression in my heart. Why did you give the 50 cents? So I speaking to myself. So I told the Lord Jesus Christ because I believe this fellow will stretch the car if I don’t give 50 cents.
10:30 He said, did you ask me then when I realized, because I know about the surrender business, the surrender. Then when I realized that I didn’t ask him. And Jesus, the spirit of God is telling me ask everything.
10:41 Because he’s teaching me to learn to hear him in everything. Because I’ve just come to the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants me to listen to this small still voice for every small thing first.
10:53 Because when you start listening to small things, then only bigger things you can hear. But all that I’m not thinking of that I’m thinking of while in church, all this going on. But then is it.
11:04 It’s time. Ah, because it’s safety for you. It’s a good thing.
11:08 And your surrender doll, it belongs to. It does not belong to you. Sorry, Lord Jesus.
11:13 I went. But it’s playing in my mind the next few days. Why? How? How did.
11:17 So I realized that he wants me to hear his voice. He wants me to ask for every little thing so that it’s a practice in me to hear my father’s voice, to hear the husband or my soul’s voice. The time I didn’t even know he’s the husband or my soul, by
the way.11:31 But he says, I don’t know all this. So then I decided, yes, I will, you know. Yes, yes, yes.
11:37 Then of course after that, a couple of weeks later, same scenario, rushing there, parked the car and saw this chap, another chap with all this nasal mask all over. So it’s definitely addict. And then that time Jesus said, couldn’t he protect the
car? Wouldn’t Jesus protect the car? The spirit of God wouldn’t protect the car.12:05 Why are you believing? They must give money and give man money, otherwise a man will scratch a car. So I saw this chair. The second Tyson around, saw this chap, dolls and needle marks and all.
12:15 So I decided not to give Jesus, brought her the car and moved on. And I. Okay, immediately another impression. Why didn’t you ask me? So I didn’t.
12:26 There now only I’m beginning to realize I forgot all about the earlier discussion with the Lord. Then why? Why then? Sorry Lord. Sorry Lord.
12:36 He said, now go and give 2 ringgit. Because they did not give the fellow any money. Because I said, Jesus has brought the car and that’s it.
12:42 This is money. So that’s it, I’m moving. He said, why didn’t you give the question? He’s saying, why didn’t you ask me? Ask me.
12:51 So he said, now I fell in my spirit. Go and give 2 ringgit with this fellow. Full of little marks.
12:57 I’m believing he’ll use it for drugs. But again he gave the two ringgit because now I disturbed in my spirit already. When I get the two ringgit, then I’m moving off again and sitting in the congregation and thinking about what’s going on here.
13:13 Then the next that is teaching me, ask him, Ask Him. Only he will know. For instance, who knows this same colorful of pockmarks, needle marks, you see? And you concluded? I concluded he’s a drug addict.
13:25 He was going to use the money for drugs. And who knows, he might have just prayed and said, if you are God, where are you? I’m suffering. I need a sign, somebody to help me.
13:36 And then if you have God, give me two ringgit somewhere. And somebody give me two ringgit to show your God. Who knows what they have prayed? We won’t know.
13:45 Only Jesus will know. Because he’s complete control of the entire universe and some of what he wants us to do, he wants us to ask him. Ask him godly counsel if we cannot hear because you have surrendered and every cent belongs to Jesus Christ of
Nazareth.14:04 At the same time, do not. When he told you to give something, do not show off quietly give. Left hand shouldn’t know what the right hand is doing.
14:13 But if you cannot help it, when you’re giving somebody, you’re giving and people are saying that’s okay because you’re not blowing a trumpet. That’s how the situation has taken place. You’re not doing it to advertise.
14:22 You’re not doing it to get revenue from there. You’re not doing it to feel good or show people that intention must be clear. Our hearts are wicked, brothers and sisters.
14:32 Our heart will say, if I give this to this fellow, especially in the business world, he’ll say, okay, I better go give this to this chap. Give a gift so he will return the favor. You give a gift.
14:43 You give a gift full stop. Because your Lord Jesus Christ told you to give a gift. Do not give a gift expecting something in return.
14:51 Then you already have your reward here because you have a plan. Our hearts are like that. Our hearts are wicked.
14:58 So we have control our hearts, brothers and sisters, be very careful. Control our hearts. Because our hearts are like that, brothers and sisters, today, remember this.
15:09 Everything. What he wants us to do is when it comes to the Lord. And after that, forever, while we’re walking, to ask Him.
15:16 And after a while, it will be a sensing in your spirit. That means you will know he’s moving you. He will know it is Settled.
15:23 When you are settled in the spirit to give something, somebody you know, it’s your Lord Jesus Christ move moving you to give, then you are looking at other things. Because you’re moving, being moved from glory to glory. You’re not going to wait on
when does give, but when you’re uncertain.15:37 Stop, stop, stop, stop. When you’re uncertain, stop. Pray, worship, wait for a moment, ask until you are settled that this is what the Spirit of God is telling you to do.
15:48 Otherwise you’ll be giving away Jesus Christ money without asking him. And that is a big no no. Because the devil, seeing that knows that you are just doing.
15:58 And I’m just doing what I want with the money given by God to me. He has a right to come and steal. Because we say when we first came to the Lord, I surrender all.
16:09 In fact, initially when I went there the first Sunday they were singing the song. I surrendered all. I did not sing after I was saved.
16:16 I dare not sing. Why? I don’t know what I’m surrendering. I’m unable to.
16:20 My heart won’t let go, you know. Then the next week though the same thing, the thing answered. And all that time the spirit of God already convicted me in one week.
16:27 It’s better to surrender all. That’s the only way to live life. Because by keeping it, I messed up.
16:33 When I didn’t surrender for all these years, what happened? I messed up completely. The devil stole from me. So then I decided yes, I surrender all.
16:42 All from today, Lord Jesus Christ, you are my Lord and savior. Everything you decide for me. Lord, I surrendered my mind.
16:48 Even that day. I don’t even my mind because it has almost destroyed me. In Jesus name I pray Jesus will take care of you brothers and sisters.
16:55 But consult him. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 10 December 2015 Fear false customs and self discipline. Fear false customs and self discipline. Yesterday, brothers and sisters, this word came out rebuke.
00:19 Actually there’s no such word I picked up because I’ve been ministering to all kinds of people and some abusing this and some are sitting in my spirit deep there and it came out in my mind and maybe between a rebuke and a correction becomes a rebuke
and I think so I observed later and check and see what this. And there is a word rebuke and it doesn’t mean what we are trying to say. It’s some kind of prayer or something.00:43 Praise Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters. Now that is why very simple, I remind myself, if I think I know something, I do not know anything as yet. I as I ought to know that’s God’s word.
00:56 And I have to follow this for myself. I’ve been doing this from the time I came to know this Word of God. I remind myself again and again if I think I’m something, when I’m nothing, I deceive myself.
01:07 So brothers and sisters do not follow man, including me, when I show scriptures and all that. You go to God, you go to Jesus Christ, you ask him, the Holy Spirit, teacher of all things, teach you. But sometimes you have to be careful also because
your mind may be speaking to you, your heart may be speaking to you, your flesh desires may be speaking to you.01:28 And the world would have put all this in you and you begin to believe God spoke to you. Don’t you have to. It must match with the Word of God.
01:35 If it doesn’t match with the Word of God, God is certainly not speaking to you on that one. According to what you are believing, you have to listen to the Word of God. Now if you cannot, if you are unable to follow the Word of God, return and you
are trying to say, and somebody says they interpret it this way and that way they are interpreting the Word of God.01:52 I have a rule for myself and I’ve taught this to others for more than decades now that take the harder route because the road is narrow. Jesus says the road is narrow. So therefore take the harder route.
02:10 Harder route means that harder to the flesh, whatever is harder to the flesh, that is the better route. That is a better safe way. Take the harder route.
02:18 Anything the flesh. And then people are telling you things, logic, you know, they’re using big swelling words. As I said, Bible says bombastic words.
02:26 They’ll Tell you this way, that way, and nothing but. You take the simplicity of the gospel, read it as it is. You settle in your spirit.
02:33 And then if you confuse, take the harder route to the flesh, harder thing that the flesh doesn’t want, take that route. God will bless you. Even when you are wrong, God will bless you.
02:43 Why? Your intention is to do the right thing, to pick up your cross, to pick up your cross and walk daily. He will bless you because he said, my child. Is my child believing that I said this to her or they said this to him.
02:57 I will settle because my child obeying me, thinking I have said this, and he will intervene and settle it for you. I have experienced this love and the goodness and the mercy of Jesus Christ. Whenever I am doing things, believing that what God told,
and I begin to believe, truly believe, and I’m taking the harder route, I’m taking the difficult route in the interpretation.03:20 I’ve been always blessed. It never let me down. And I’m sure there are many in the congregation who also enjoyed this privilege of taking the harder route.
03:31 And Jesus sees them through. Take the harder route, take the narrow road. Brothers and sisters, there are few scriptures that we have to concentrate on today.
03:39 Yesterday we talked about not everything is beneficial. Today we are talking, reminding ourselves on this thing on second Timothy 1:7. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear.
03:50 This is not amplified. He did not give us a spirit of fear. Spirit of fear.
03:54 Fear is from the devil. Spirit of fear is an evil spirit. He did not give us a spirit of fear, timidity or cowardice.
04:00 But he has given us a spirit of power. Spirit of power, of love. Spirit of love and spirit of sound mind.
04:08 Spirit of sound judgment. Oh, spirit of sound mind and personal discipline. Personal discipline.
04:16 Self control is given us a spirit of self control, Personal discipline or self discipline. Now, brothers and sisters, this is an important thing to follow. He’s given us this already.
04:26 Now, whether we apply or not, then it’s our choice whether we want to follow Jesus Christ this way or not. And always our heart wouldn’t want to do this. Now, many times, this false custom, somehow we follow because of fear.
04:37 What people will say, what my neighbor will say, what my brother will say, what my sister will say, what my mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife, all kinds, my son, all kinds of things. Just fear, you know, Let me tell you. Oh no, I don’t
fear pastor, actually.04:54 But they will get upset. I don’t want to upset them. I want to love all just fear.
04:59 Brother and sister, you better first please Jesus Christ. What Jesus Christ will say what Jesus Christ has already said, what Jesus Christ has already written it down for you and me. You be willing to follow that first.
05:14 So don’t think of all the other people first. Think of the husband of your soul, the one who will finally judge you, the one who’s supposed to save you. Because in the one who suffered for you, to save you, the one you’re going to meet absent from
the body, to be present with the Lord.05:28 That one. The one that I am, that I am. That one.
05:32 The Alpha and the Omega, the ancient of days, that one. The name is Jesus Christ. You better think about what he will.
05:41 Are you pleasing him now? Then anything and others are saying, you’re considering that when it’s opposite to what he has said, then your fear of man, that’s called fear of man. You say no fear, but actually fear of man. You don’t have fear of God.
05:54 You do not love Jesus Christ. You are actually more concerned with what these people say. But they are human beings.
06:00 You love them, but they are confused. I was confused. Yeah.
06:05 I can love human beings in the way I write, but I must love human beings according to God’s command. Love your neighbor as yourself, willing to give your life for one another as disciples. As he has loved us, he gave his life for us.
06:17 Let’s love like that now, brothers and sisters. So do not get confused or do not. Jesus said, do not deceive yourself yesterday.
06:26 Scripture says, now, do not deceive yourself. Because he has washed us clean. He doesn’t want any blemish in us, doesn’t want a spot in us.
06:33 He has washed us clean with his own blood. And then if we go continue practicing those things, he says, you are born of the devil. You’re really not born of God.
06:40 Because you’re born of God, you stop practicing. You may fall into such sin because of sudden blow, sudden temptation, sudden weakness. But immediately there will be a conviction.
06:50 Immediately there’s a conviction. You’ll be shaken up by the Holy Spirit. You say, sorry Lord.
06:54 Sorry Lord. And then you begin to rectify, restitute, settle things. But if you are practicing like Tatida apa, that means no care in the world, no care in the world, don’t care.
06:54 And then you go about your life without considering what he has written down. Then you have to ask yourself, are you a false, counterfeit Christian? Brothers and sisters, don’t. That’s why when we follow customs and we are unable to break free, you
have to Use the power of Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus Christ.07:23 You have to start using in the name of Jesus, commanding your heart and mind to break free from all this. Now brothers, this is. There’s another scripture that says, you know, a little leaven, a little yeast, a little yeast will leaven the whole
dough.07:36 That means little falsehood will finally make everything fall suitable. And you won’t know because in creep into us, the world will creep into it. That’s why.
07:45 Oh this Pastor Chrissy Lutz, he very fancy. He said this one, no blemish. Go for pure, holy.
07:52 That’s his word. That’s his word. And we don’t do it by our strength.
07:57 We do it by the power of Jesus Christ. I’m not telling, I want you to do now get everything right here. Brothers, I’m not forcing anyone here to do anything.
08:06 I’m not telling you you must do. I’m just reading the scriptures and showing you and reasoning with you from the scriptures. Now you have to decide in the spirit.
08:15 You have to decide because finally each of us have to answer directly to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now if I don’t teach you this, I will of course have to answer this to Jesus Christ of Nazareth saying, son, I showed you all this. To whom much is
given, much more is expected.08:31 He says so he expects a lot from me because much has been given to me. And to whom much is forgiven, he loves much. Meaning I’ve been forgiven much.
08:42 You all know all kinds of sinners. Go and read my story in graceoflife.com you know how much sinning I was doing. I was a great sinner and he has forgiven me all that.
08:50 Who he has forgiven much, loves much. He says that means I end up without me realizing, I end up loving more. It’s not by my will because I want to love, it just happens.
09:02 Because his law is coming to work, his word is coming to bear fruit. He has forgiven much and automatically he makes me love much. He has given me much, he expects me much more.
09:16 Whom he has given much, much more is expected out of him. So I have to do this. Now you please use yourself, use your God given sound mind, self discipline and go for sin.
09:28 For Jesus Christ. I sometimes use the example, take a long Olympic sized swimming pool. You take Olympic sized swimming pool and somebody takes a tablespoon or teaspoon of human waste, human waste, human dung, and throws it at one end of the pool,
in the shallow end, you are at the deepest end.09:44 There you will jump out. Once you knew that this rubbish has gone inside here. The waste has gone inside you.
09:49 You will jump out there. You won’t drink the water there. Although it’s a long sight, it takes a long while for it to diffuse and come there and now slowly, but you will not.
09:56 And for God, trying to imagine, we’re trying to imagine in my miniscule mind that sins like that, for God, it’s abomination. Why after he has given his son to die for us, we still do this? Cannot, brother. Cannot, cannot.
10:09 Now I’m going to read a scripture from Jeremiah 10:1 4. Before that, you see here, my father was in the. Was in World War II.
10:19 He was about 20 years old. He was working here and the Japanese came and all that. Now after he tells us the World War II story.
10:26 Yes, and I hear from other of his friends who are there also. Now, after a while, his generation passes away and I will take and tell the story to my children or whatever. And in fact I forget now.
10:36 There’s only. We are only something like 75 years or 70 years away from World War II. And we already got all kinds of mixture or rubbish coming in.
10:46 Knowledge is missing all that, unless they refer to some history books. But history books also has been polluted and changed according to the victor. The victor, the winners, they say, will write their own history books.
10:59 So we do not know whether this whole thing is true or not. But generally we know there was atrocities and all that going on and then how they suffered. War means suffering, suffering.
11:09 We don’t want any war. But war will come because Jesus said there will be war and rumors of wars and so. But he will see us through.
11:15 Okay, so let’s not get frightened with the wars. If it’s going to happen, you and I can’t stop it. We only go to Jesus Christ to see us through, brothers and sisters.
11:23 That is why when Jesus was walking on the earth, it’s only a few hundred years later when Constantine came into the picture. He started introducing so many other things after that and began a lot of worldly things entered there. But it’s 3, 400
years, 330 years or something.11:41 Constantine came after Christ. You’re talking about 300 years, 70 years from the World War II. We can’t remember now.
11:48 300 odd years. You think people will remember? They will just continue doing what people are telling them. So the truth is where it was written earlier, nearest to the resurrection, nearest to when Jesus, that’s the apostles, the disciples are
written there and then there are.12:04 And some of the books occur thousand, two thousand three Thousand years before Christ was written. So we rather look at those books than human customs. Human customs are falsehood.
12:15 Now what he says in Jeremiah 10:1 4. Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you. I’m reading the Catholic version.
12:16 Jeremiah 10:1 4. Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you. That means to me.
12:26 Thus says the Lord, do not learn the way of the nations. That means, do not learn the way of the unbelievers. Or be dismayed at the signs of the heavens.
12:36 For the nations are dismayed at them. That is awe. Or be dismayed.
12:40 Today we’re not discussing the dismay in the sight of the heavens. I mean the blood moon, this and that. We are not talking about that.
12:47 Do not learn the way of the nation. Do not follow them. Do not learn them.
12:50 3. For the customs of the peoples are false, are false, are false. A little falsehood in us finally will change our whole life.
13:00 We’ll end up doing false things and other things and we don’t even realize. That’s why when I came to the Lord, I said, walls, black object, etc. For the castles of the peoples are false.
13:11 A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of an artisan. People deck it with silver and gold. They fasten it with hammer and nails and so that it cannot move.
13:22 He said, do not follow this. They are false. Now at the same time, another further scripture says, it’s like a scarecrow.
13:29 The tree is like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch. We cannot talk at this and that. Then when I read this, my son, that time was five years or six years old.
13:36 I went to him and other children, the elder children, the elder two girls. Very happy that I’ve changed, you know. That’s all.
13:42 They are so grateful. The third son and the fourth that a bit younger. This, this last fellow was six boy.
13:49 And I told him, son, Papa was doing all kinds wrong before. I don’t have any more faults in our lives anymore. Anything false, I don’t want to touch.
13:58 We just want to go to the truth. Are you willing to give up his peace and all that? He was willing to. So I went with Chak, huh, Chak now in Jesus Christ.
14:07 Thank Jesus, there was nothing I said. Everybody forgot about it. Now brother and sisters here, so you will say, oh, this fella now become religious.
14:13 He want me to use rich. Want me to cut the tree. No, no, no.
14:16 Now remember this. It’s a big, huh? Almost 1 billion US dollar worth. 4 billion ringgit worth of actual natural Trees are cut down in the US for this purpose about another 500 million.
14:30 That means US$2 billion worth in Europe and all. It’s all over. You’re talking about four and two, six, about seven, eight billion US dollars worth of trees.
14:40 Actual trees are cut down and used for this. They will again grow and use and grow and use over India, you know, big time business. Six billion.
14:48 And then they have ringgit. Ringgit. Six billion.
14:50 Seven billion. Ringgit. Six, seven.
14:53 Yeah, seven, eight billion, maybe even eight billion. Then false trees made of plastic made from the petroleum. You know, that’s another, I think two or three times more all over the world.
15:02 So you’re talking about another 2.5, 3.5 or 4? 4.
15:06 4 times 4, 16. You’re talking about 20 over billion. Ringgit of money is spent every year.
15:13 Now the green trees, green trees, fellas. No, save the trees, save the trees. They’ll come this side of Malaysia and say don’t cut the trees.
15:19 And all your stories. Here they allow themselves to cut 6, $7 billion worth of trees are grown and cut every year. If they didn’t cut it the last 10, 20 years, can you imagine how green the place will be? But no, nobody is stopping there.
15:33 Why the green fellows are not bothered about this? Because it’s from Satan, it’s from the world, it’s a way of the world. And God is saying don’t follow this now. And it’s foolish.
15:42 And why do we cut a tree and do this? And he said, silver and gold, that’s Christmas tree. But even that time people don’t listen. Now brothers and sisters.
15:50 And then maybe this one game for children. We put present under there. The children go and kneel down there to collect their presents, right? Maybe it’s a way for our children to be getting accustomed to kneeling in front of a tree.
16:02 I do not know brothers and sisters. That is why I don’t want any falsehood. Now you have to design for yourself.
16:07 Now brothers and sisters, there’s another scripture, because time running out. But he says, you know, one scripture says, Luke 14, 13, 14. I too have failed many times on this.
16:17 So I’m not putting myself in a pedestal. Luke 14, 13, 14. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you’ll be blessed because they cannot repay you.
16:28 And you shall be repaid as the resurrection of just. Brothers and sisters, if we take these monies that you are putting on this thing, if you take this money and just of course you can’t bring people to the house, to the feast nowadays. Because
crooks will come along, thieves will come along.16:44 Give it somewhere. Help the poor, help the blind. Help this.
16:47 Wouldn’t you think we’re more blessed? And your children grow in that kind of form? Give. Luke 14. Give.
16:54 But we do decrease. Brothers and sisters, you decide. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, amen.
