00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters. Today the power of Christ Daily 22 November 2015 Sunday aliens, exiles and Pilgrims Titled Aliens, exiles and Pilgrims before we start, I’ve just included another foundational scripture that is
permanently. I want to put it there.00:23 That is Mark 16:17 which says that these signs will accompany those who believe by using my name, they will cast out demons. They will speak in new tongues. Now, cast out demons is a critical thing.
00:37 Many have lost this or not taught this, are confused. That’s why fear is a spirit, anger is a spirit. Now we have a natural anger that well up in our hearts.
00:47 But when you keep continue with that, a spirit of anger will enter or a spirit anger will tempt our hearts to get angry. Now there are various spiritual demons that devil wants to destroy our souls will begin to do this destroy our lives. Therefore
casting out evil spirits.01:05 Unnecessary. Whenever you sense something happening, fear, confusion. If confusion you must check.
01:10 If confusion you must check whether self seeking and envy is dead. God says confusion is there means self seeking. Is there something you’re holding on to.
01:20 When you’re holding on to something, confusion will not go because you’ll only round and round. When you surrender to Jesus Christ, whatever you are thinking of that you’re desiring or needing or whatever, surrender Jesus Christ and say let your
will be done. Only then confusion will go.01:35 Otherwise the spirit of confusion will not leave. A spirit of confusion has a right into our souls, into our heart, into our bodies. If we keep on self seeking, I want this, I want this self seeking.
01:47 What I want only, not God seeking, self seeking. There’s a segment I’ve done on God seeking and not self seeking. Please go and listen to that.
01:56 That will explain more. But therefore. But any case, there are certain ways when you cast out the evil spirit, it doesn’t go means coming back.
02:04 You have to check the foothold. You have to examine ourselves. That is the foundation of scripture.
02:08 Here we have to examine ourselves and evaluate ourselves. Now all these are foundational scriptures. This has changed your life.
02:15 Every day meditate on these scriptures, including today. From today, meditate on casting out evil spirits in Jesus Christ’s name. And they will go because it is his name.
02:25 They will not go because you are powerful, I am powerful. They will go because it is Jesus Christ’s name. And they will have to go.
02:32 And if they’re not going, that means there’s a foothold there. You have given a foothold, you have to examine the foothold. Because Jesus said, do not give the devil a foothold.
02:40 He’s walking about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Who swallow Jesus saying this. So please brothers and sisters, let’s use that daily also.
02:51 Amen. Now the power of Christ daily today, Aliens, exiles and pilgrims. First Peter 2, 10, 12.
02:57 I’m reading once, 10 once. I’m reading for amplified. Once you were not the people at all, but now you are God’s people.
03:07 Remember this brothers and sisters, we are God’s people. We are Christians. We have become God’s people through Christ.
03:15 Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Very important factor. Once we have not received mercy.
03:25 Apostle Paul, Apostle Peter saying this, Peter saying that, look, you are not the ones God’s people now, you are God’s people now. When he’s telling these Peter, you know he’s ministering to the even the Jews. Why is that not God’s people? It’s a
very amazing thing because when people don’t obey God, they are not God’s people.03:46 So they may be Jews, they may say they are chosen by God and all that. Yes, but there are many Jews who are actually following Satan. So they are not God’s people.
03:56 There are Jews who follow Satan, who follow one world order. They follow all that. There’s a smaller group.
04:02 Jesus says many times that the Bible says all Israel is not of Israel or all Israel is not of God. All Israel is not of God. Just because they term themselves to be Jews and then tell us, you know, all kinds of things.
04:15 I have to deal with it one day because they defocus us from Christ into looking at the Jews and the Jerusalem and all that in Christ. Jesus says there’s no Jew or Gentile, no Jew or unbeliever. There’s only one Christ here.
04:31 So keep our eyes focused on this. We love all, love all, even our enemies. We love all because God will say he will deal with enemies.
04:40 He doesn’t want his children getting involved in this embroil. We just love all to be sons of the most High God. We love all.
04:47 But don’t keep falling for these so called prophets and prophetesses. Keep on focusing you on something else. If they’re not focusing on Jesus Christ, you know they are not prophets of Jesus Christ.
04:57 They are having an agenda, a self seeking agenda. They want to turn your mind away from Jesus and into Jerusalem and all that. They will tell you, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
05:08 Look, that’s out of context but then they’ll tell you pray for the peace of Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed and so People start praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Why? Self seeking, Blessing. Blessing, self seeking.
05:20 So you begin to pray for Jerusalem. You pray. I’m not telling you not to pray.
05:24 You pray if you can. But do not make it a doctrine. The doctrine is simple.
05:29 Go to Jesus and by faith, believing in Jesus Christ and your faith in Jesus Christ, you want to confess your sins. You want to live a holy life by using his power, by casting out evil spirits and all that, and he will save you. The faith is Jesus
will save you.05:47 It’s not he’ll save you because you prayed for Jerusalem or didn’t pray for Jerusalem. So brothers and sisters, better understand this. There are more important things to keep a holy conduct than to just pray for this and pray for that.
05:59 So more importantly, you have to represent your soul as a chaste virgin to Christ. Let there be no lies found in us. Let there be no sin found in us.
06:11 Because when you go to Jesus Christ, he washes us with his blood. But to wash us with his blood, we must be prepared to confess and say we are wrong. If you’re not confessing, you’re wrong.
06:21 How to voice so even if you confess your sins, he is faithful to forgive. That’s what the Bible says. So we must confess once we know we have done wrong.
06:30 Confess and change and go do the right thing. Now here it says, once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. So even this prayer for anything you are praying, check your reasoning, your your intention.
06:46 God goes by your intention. What’s the intention in your heart to get blessing? Only brothers and sisters, this is critical. Some may not like what I’m saying here, but that’s the word of God.
06:56 So don’t take. People are taking one word of God and begin to make a big doctrine out of it. The only doctrine first is this, the good news.
07:04 Go to Jesus. He wiped our sins and he’ll make us. And he will mold us and change us through the Holy Spirit.
07:11 And day by day, we’re getting the present soul as chaste virgin to Christ. And he will take us home. He’s coming.
07:18 He is coming for us. Ah, that’s our faith and hope. And that’s our mercy for us.
07:23 And 1711, he says this. Second Peter, first Peter, second to 11. Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers.
07:32 Today title is aliens, exiles and pilgrims. Why I put that is some versions will say aliens, some versions say exile, some versions say pilgrims. But many questions say aliens and strangers or aliens and pilgrims or strangers and pilgrims.
07:45 So it will be a mixture of this. If I put that. Aliens, exiles and pilgrims.
07:49 Oh, they talk about aliens are coming. Aliens coming. We are the aliens here.
07:53 How about that? Oh, look. What is alien? Alien. UFOs coming.
07:57 UFOs in the sky, all that. Yeah. Demonic forces can come with great signs and wonders.
08:04 Better remember, they’ll say, no, aliens from another world is coming. And all that these villas will tell you. But remember this, the fallen angels can come with great signs and wonders and deceiving the very elect, if it were possible.
08:21 Elect is us. Elect, if it were possible. Now you are God’s people.
08:27 Don’t fall for this. We are the aliens. We are not supposed to be here.
08:30 We are here as pilgrims. We are here as ambassadors of Christ. It is not our home.
08:34 We are exiles here. We are here to do our work and go home. We waiting for Jesus Christ to pick us and take us home.
08:41 You know, in the air we will meet him. In the air we will meet him. I had a segment before the dead in Christ will rise and then we will rise.
08:48 Those who are alive will rise and meet the Lord in the air. Because this is not our home. And then we’ll come back with Christ to rule.
08:55 Co rule. Co rule. Co rule this place.
09:00 Praise the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Mercy, Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
09:04 Behold, I heard you as aliens and strangers. And some versions will say, I beg you. Apostle Peter, you know, is begging us.
09:12 Peter the apostle is begging us. I beg you, as aliens and strangers in this world, to abstain from the sensual urges, those dishonorable desires that wage war against the soul. You see? Sensual urges or immoral urges or whatever.
09:31 Or lust, some version will say, lust of the world. Everybody will think only sexual lust. No, it’s more than that.
09:38 Any dishonorable desire is a lust. It’s a lusting after. It’s going after it on and on and on.
09:45 You’re not giving up, you’re just going on. I must have this house. I must have this house.
09:47 I must have this house. I’ll pray through 24 hours. Praying and all that for a house.
09:55 Not for salvation, for yourself, not for your families, not for the others. Not to be presenting your soul as a chaste virgin to Christ. People are not praying for that.
10:04 If 24 hours. We pray that we Lord, make me present my soul as a chaste virgin unto you. I want to be holy.
10:11 That prayer is hardly anybody praying. Everybody is praying. What? Mostly I want this.
10:15 I want that. I want this right now. All that God said, seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first and all this will be added? Yes.
10:22 God knows. We need a house to live in. God knows.
10:24 God knows. God didn’t say, I’ll give you a house to buy. Some people have to rent.
10:28 Some people have to rent. So you, you. You do not focus on these things.
10:34 It will come. What God gives. We are grateful.
10:37 But he’ll never let his children bake bread. I guarantee you that. Because the guarantee is from the Bible.
10:43 Is not. He will never allow his children to bake bread. But now, Apostle Paul urging us, begging us as aliens and strangers and pilgrims in the world, to abstain from sensual urges, dishonorable desires.
10:57 He said, abstain from them. Don’t get near them. Don’t get involved.
11:01 Why? These dishonorable desires or sensual urges or lusts of the world will wage war against your soul. That wage war. They fight against your soul.
11:13 So Apostle Peter is begging us, don’t be abstaining. Abstain from dishonorable desires. Though not all desires, because our heart desires.
11:24 We want our desires that God wants for us and puts us in a heart. And that is the honorable desire. Whatever carnally we want, whatever carnally we desiring it becomes a dishonorable desire because it will wage war against your own soul.
11:39 That is why Peter is begging us. Please don’t. I beg you, do not allow.
11:45 Abstain from sensual urges. Abstain from dishonorable desires. That any desire that is not in line with the word of God is dishonorable.
11:54 Any desire. Oh, pastor. But wanting a house should be in line with the word of God.
12:00 Yes. Wanting a house. What’s the intention? Yes, definitely.
12:04 Settle the other things. God wants you to desire first. Desire holiness.
12:09 Desire to go home. Desire to serve others. Desire to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
12:15 And desire to love your neighbour as yourself. And desire to love your enemy even by the power of Jesus Christ. Desire to cast out evil spirits.
12:23 Desire to seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first. And all this was added. Have you desired those things? Or you hopped across everything else and jumped in front and said, house, house, house.
12:34 Renovate my house. Renovate my house. Our best school, Best school, Best school.
12:38 God said, do not be friendship with the world. Friendship with the world means your enmity with God. There’s another scripture, brothers and sisters.
12:47 The teaching you have been taught all this while, here and there. Have they produced scripture to back it up? But they back it up. Then follow that.
12:55 If they don’t back it up, I’m backing up the scripture. You better follow scripture. Don’t follow me.
13:01 I mean I’m a man even who knows when God wants me home. Finished. So no one knows.
13:08 So now you please follow scripture. You’re listening to this. And they’ll give you freedom, you know.
13:13 They’ll give you peace and joy. Now he goes on to say in 12 keep your behavior excellent among the unsaved Gentiles. Conduct yourself honorably with graciousness and integrity.
13:29 In truth, you know, and fairness and justice and righteousness. Graciousness and righteousness. Integrity means not cheating and all that.
13:37 Oh, don’t take them for advantage. Do the best. Do more than that.
13:40 God says when somebody takes a once you shirt, you get the inner garment. Also why we want to be gracious integrity with these people. So that for whatever reason they may slander you as evildoers.
13:52 Sometimes they still slander our children of God as evildoers. But they didn’t do anything. Why? Dark and lightness.
13:58 Light, dark and light. Light is in our children of God and darkness in them. Because we do not know.
14:03 We were all dark. I was in darkness, complete darkness. So in that condition they begin to surrender.
14:08 But now I have slandered people. So now before I come to the Lord. Yet by observing your good deeds, they may instead come to glorify God in the day of visitation when he looks upon them.
14:21 Mercy. We want to have a good conduct so they know we belong to Jesus Christ. Our good conduct must reflect that we belong to Jesus Christ.
14:30 So, brothers and sisters, today Apostle Peter is begging us, do not go after the world. Do not follow all this. You are aliens and strangers.
14:40 Act like aliens, strangers and pilgrims. We are not of this world, although we are in this world. Jesus Christ told his disciples, you are not of this world though you are in the world.
14:51 So do not act as people of this world. We have to act as people of God. People of God who have a great promise and a hope that we will become co rulers with Jesus Christ when he comes.
15:02 He will take us up. That must be our hope. That must be a desire.
15:03 That must be a wanting. O Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, put this desire in each one of us who are listening to this Lord. Each one of us that will desire you so much, desire Jesus Christ so much that everything else fades away.
15:21 Everything else fades away. And we desire you so much that whatever lack we feel around us, we don’t even sense it. We don’t even feel it.
15:29 Because we have more than enough in our lives. We, Lord Jesus, when you give us, we will use this for furtherance of the kingdom. For furtherance of the kingdom.
15:39 Whatever money you give us, we furtherance the kingdom to bring the good news to others who do not have peace, who do not have a righteousness. Peace and joy will bring this maker’s Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you, Lord, Holy
Spirit, make each one of us be the salt and light. Be the kind of child we ought to be on earth as aliens and exiles and pilgrims to be dead as strangers in this world.16:05 We are strangers. We are not going to be partying with this world. We are in the world.
16:09 But we’ll be salt and light of this world. Lord Jesus, make us that. In Jesus name I pray, brothers and sisters, this is the desire we must have.
16:17 And when we have this desire, everything else you’ll be understanding. The relationship with others will be fantastic. You’ll have love for all.
16:25 And then they will start loving you and. And then this love matters because you love righteousness, peace and joy. You are in joy having another house or another car.
16:35 A better car. Yes, you need it, God will give it to you. But don’t be the focus of your life.
16:41 That shouldn’t be the focus of our lives. The focus of our life must be Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God, the husband of our soul. In Jesus name I pray.
16:51 Amen.

A Boy Is Healed
14 And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.
15 Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.
16 And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.
18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19 He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”
20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
And he said, “From childhood.
22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”
26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”

00:47 Love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. It is impossible to love God like that without the power of Christ. Because no one can go to Father God except through Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
00:58 Brothers and sisters, today it’s a wonderful day. Why? Very simple. But Jesus has given you one more day to do his work here on earth.
01:08 We are not routinely get up every morning like we are lost generation. We are not a lost generation. We are children of God.
01:16 We are disciples of Christ. We are followers of Christ. We want to be with Christ.
01:19 We want to co rule with him eventually. But right now we want to just do and please Him. As we begin to please him by keeping his commandments.
01:29 We are following in his footsteps. In his footsteps. We want to become like Christ.
01:34 And we are blessing to all. First of all, we love all, we love all, command our heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ to love all. And I said yesterday starts today, started yesterday night before he went to sleep.
01:47 I pray all of you have examined yourself. Those of you who have forgotten, remind yourself. Remind your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ.
01:55 I command my heart and mind to examine myself before I fall asleep and to dedicate and think about the issues. Meditate also dedicate our lives to Christ. Meditate on the issues, what’s going to happen tomorrow, what we need to do tomorrow and all
that.02:10 But no fear. Oh, even those of you struggling some issues coming tomorrow. You are now meditating on the faith in Christ the night before.
02:19 You’re not meditating on what’s going to happen tomorrow. This fellow is going to come, the debt collector going to come. You meditate and see how did I get into these debts? Did I follow the world to get into these debts? Brothers and sisters, this
meditation, examination before falling asleep, asking Jesus for forgiveness, settling everything, going to sleep, getting up fresh in the morning to be able to do his will.02:40 And day by day your life will change. It’s A progress is a process. Because we collected so much of garbage, we now have to get rid of it.
02:49 And that our heart one shot can get rid of it. One, one single shot. Very good.
02:54 But if it doesn’t, then you have to go walk the walk. Get rid of it daily. Commanding the heart and mind.
03:00 Brothers and sisters, today the title is Many said he is dead. Now in Mark 9, 14, 29, there’s a long scripture. It’s an event.
03:10 Jesus death described the event the Bible has described what happened when Jesus came. He came to the disciples. He saw a great multitude around them and the scribes disputing with them.
03:22 The scribes means like a lawyers, you know, legal, this, this biblical scriptural Jew lawyers arguing the people write the the laws and all that. Disputing with them, arguing with them. Immediately when they saw him, all the people, greatly amazed,
came running to Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ, and greeted him.03:41 And he asked the scribes, what are you discussing with them? One of the crowd answered and said, teacher, I brought you my son who has a mute spirit. And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, it foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, grinding
his teeth and becomes rigid, rigid not like rock. So I spoke to your disciples that they should cast it out.04:05 But they could not. They could not cast it out. 18 or 19 here he answered him and said, o faithless generation.
04:13 Jesus Christ answering now, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me. Then they brought him to him. And when he saw him immediately the spirit conversed, you see here, convulsed.
04:30 And he fell on the ground and wallowed. Wallowed means rolling and falling, foaming at the mouth. So he asked his father, Jesus Christ asked his father, how long has this been happening to him? From childhood, the father answered, can you imagine
how much the suffering the father, the family the boy has gone through, was going through? And often he was thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him.04:55 The devil takes and puts him, trying to drown him, trying to put the fire. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. If you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.
05:08 Jesus said to him, if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. And we have dealt with it. Only believe.
05:15 We dealt with. Search for the earlier teachings in the morning earlier discussions recordings Only believe. Jesus Christ said, only believe that you go to the graceoflife.com you can go to one site there in the page, one of the pages there will say
power of Christ daily.05:34 Or ask the moderators and they’ll help you. Or write an email from there. Call them.
05:38 The numbers are there. Somebody will help you. Brother and sister, do not just suffer in silence.
05:44 You have to open yourself up and confess whatever is happening and how. They’ll ask you if anything happening and all with you. And you have to start.
05:51 How is it they ask you about the past? You have to be open. We open. Nobody can help you, brother.
05:57 Or cry out the Christ cry out to Christ. He is the final. He’s the one who helps us.
06:01 We all go to him. Now if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Now, brothers and sisters, next one.
06:11 Immediately. The father of the child cried out and said with tears, lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.
06:17 Lord, I believe, Help my unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit. He rebuked the unclean spirit and saying, with deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more, do not
return.06:32 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly and came out of him. And he became as one dead. So many said, he is dead.
06:40 But Jesus took him by the hand and lift him, lifted him up and he rose. And when he came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, why could we not cast it out? And he said to the disciples, this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and
fasting. Now, brothers and sisters, when we read these events, it’s very important for you today I’m going to tell you some issues.07:05 How you read this event, line by line, precept by precept. The whole concept we have written now, we read the whole story now and we know roughly a concept what is happening here. Boy is suffering.
07:16 My childhood caught by a spirit throwing him water and fire. Turn down him, kill him off. The the Father had gone all over the place.
07:22 Suffering came to Jesus, came to the disciples. The disciples couldn’t. And then there were the scribes, all arguing there with the disciples.
07:29 And then he came to Jesus. And Jesus said, if you can believe, he asked Jesus, if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. Because he started, if you can do anything.
07:43 Then Jesus said, if you can believe, all things are possible to him he believes. Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.
07:48 The man said. Now the issue is simple now. When Jesus saw the people running together, he rebuked the spirit.
07:59 Deaf and dumb spirit commanded you to come out of him, enter him no more. Then the spirit came out, convulsed greatly and came out. And he became like one dead.
08:06 And so many said, he is dead. Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and rose. And of course he is alive.
08:11 Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And then the disciples later asked him why we couldn’t cast out. He said, this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.
08:21 Now let’s look at this. You have to, when you reread that particular event when Jesus events are happening in the Gospels, when you’re reading a line and then you meditate how it actually happening there, you picture this thing happening there.
Picture what’s happening in the Bible, what’s happening at that point in time.08:40 And then you picture how it can relate to your life. To your life. Now let’s see, what are the issues that can relate to our life.
08:47 We have suffering. Then we can also parallel this particular story, parallel it, mirror it and see other events can take place. It is, the physical is happening, but in the spiritual also your life can be happening like this.
09:01 Now for instance, you are suffering, let’s say. And then you’re saying if you can do anything, Lord Jesus, have compassion on us and mercy. Have compassion on me, Lord.
09:11 Mercy Lord, how many of us pray this? I have prayed this many times. Compassion on me, Lord. Mercy, Lord mercy, Lord Mercy Jesus.
09:17 Mercy Jesus. Because why? What else? He is my God, he’s my father, he’s husband or my soul. I go to his mercy.
09:24 Why? I’ve done some boo boo sir. Because why? You see, we know 80 to 90% are spiritual roots for all diseases. And then the remaining 10 or 20%, let’s say even 80% and 20%.
09:36 80% is spiritual root. The diseases, the illnesses, the conditions, the problems or whatever the problems. Also even death problems is spiritual.
09:45 80% spiritual debt problems. Because spiritually we don’t control our own heart and mind. We follow the world.
09:51 We’re not conformed to the world, not the word of Jesus Christ. So we get into debts. If you’re following your friends, they going for makan.
09:58 Eating Makan in Malaysia is Malays. Makan means eating dinners and lunches and eating. So you keep on going with your friends because you don’t want to let them know you don’t have money.
10:08 You don’t, you don’t excuse yourself. So you keep going with them. Yeah, you feel shy when you don’t go with them because they say they, they may have money.
10:16 We don’t care but you have or not. If you don’t have, you don’t join the crowd for that dinner because. Or lunch because you end up paying.
10:25 You may not sharing the bill you end up paying. Taking turns you don’t have. And you have other commitments, then it’s spiritual.
10:33 Now look here. So 80% of our issues are spiritual. 20% may be physical issues in the illness.
10:39 But let’s look at the other issues. So you feel shame, but Jesus took your shame. So you can humble yourself.
10:49 There’s pride, you know, trying to pretend you have and continue with them. And spending, spending instead of telling them, look, brothers, I got the Commitments. Or sisters, I got the Commitments.
10:59 So please, I cannot join you if they say, please come. You may not feel good because you’re not paying. So once in a way, you pay.
11:06 Other times you don’t go. Or they say, no, no, you come. I’ll be.
11:09 Will take care of you or something. And then if you settle in your spirit, but don’t become a taker. Just go there.
11:15 Oh, they are paying for me. I just go every time. Don’t care.
11:18 You will lose your credibility, your reputation. You’re not a follower of Christ. You will deny yourself.
11:23 This is where you will deny yourself and pick up your cross. Because not to tarnish the name of Jesus Christ, you don’t do these things. Now, he said, if you can do anything, have compassion on us, have mercy on us, Lord Jesus.
11:35 And Jesus said, if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Then you begin to think, if I can believe, am I believing in Jesus Christ? If my faith in Jesus Christ settled the issue for me, or if I have faith in me to settle the
issue for myself. If my faith in me won’t work, I must have faith in Jesus Christ.11:57 If I believe this thing will settle. I believe this thing. What are you believing? So you believe in Jesus Christ will settle you.
12:04 You cry out. He said, seek ye the kingdom of God first. And all these things will be added to you more than enough.
12:10 So you call on him and say, then you examine, I overspent too much. I budgeted here and there. I’m not breaking the budget.
12:18 I’m following the world and all that. Examine yourself. And God said, take control.
12:22 Even eating too much. All kinds of outside food. You begin to carry sandwiches from home.
12:27 You better start adjusting to live your life within your means, brothers and sisters. Now, Lord, Then when he said, okay, then he cast out, right? When he cast out, the boy became like, dead. And when he said, he’s dead now, can you imagine in real
life, many times English, the people will say, oh, it’ll get worse before it gets better.12:49 It must get worse before it gets better. You have heard this, I’m sure in Tamil also, probably in the Chinese or so. It will get worse before it gets better.
12:57 Why? Human beings have seen a pattern. Things get worse. So when the things get worse, when you’re praying, when you’re praying to Christ, asking for this and that, whatever the issues to settle you.
13:08 And when things get worse, don’t give up hope. You see, the example given here is he became like dead. Many people are dead.
13:16 They don’t have hope, they don’t have faith in Christ. When things become like the thing you’re praying for, the issue looks like it’s dead. Don’t believe.
13:24 You believe your God to give you mercy, mercy, mercy. The issue like cannot handle is finished. But you have prayed, you have examined yourself, you have settled everything.
13:36 You ask for forgiveness. You, you have your heart, your love, everybody. You seek the kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy.
13:43 And then you’re asking Jesus Christ, you have righteousness, peace and joy with all that going on. Then when you see this happen, the issue that you are praying for, like let’s say no promotion or you’re going to be transferred and you don’t want to
transfer, you don’t want to be transferred. And you continue praying and hoping and merciful God.14:00 And then you believe. Because if you keep on thinking that God gone, it’s gone. So here, that is why things will get worse.
14:08 So you hold on to Christ because it may be the next day the thing can settle. But eventually, let’s say something happens and your transfer is still transferred to you, Then what you do, all things are good for you, all things work out for the good
of those who love God and are called according to his purpose, you say, lord Jesus. That means in a way you pray.14:30 God still allowed. Jesus Christ still allowed the transfer. You will say, lord, you allow the transfer.
14:36 That means it’s good for me. Now you accept it. You must accept it when things have happened already.
14:41 You’re a child of God. You must believe that Jesus loves you. God loves you and he has allowed these things to happen.
14:48 And you accept it. Why? It’s the best for you. You will move on and say, lord, you want me to do something? I’ll deny myself and pick up the cross and go and settle this.
15:00 Why? I’ll follow you, Lord, I’ll follow you. Then peace comes back when you accept it and deny yourself the Peace comes back. And then finally here the issue is why it doesn’t come out.
15:11 In this case, this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting. So who has been praying and fasting? Actually when I began service in the Lord, I was casting out evil spirit, people will come and all that. Finally I realized it’s impossible
to fast.15:28 For every case I tried to fast. Finally I said, lord, I cannot do this. Then I read some other book, some other manual on one person.
15:36 Earlier the minister has passed away. He had written a book. I saw this.
15:41 He said, look, he also had the same problem. And he asked Jesus, Jesus said, look here, I didn’t ask you to pafas for everyone they fast. The Father, the Father coming, he should fast.
15:53 He’s setting a gap for the son or the people want something, they should fast. Why not that God will give your faith will increase. Why your faith will increase.
16:02 We should fast so that your faith will increase. So you don’t have faith for certain things. You fast brother and sister, kill the flesh, bring the heart to subjection to the word of God.
16:12 So you fast and the demons that are holding you or cannot get over some things and all will leave. Because we fast and pray and cast out. We fast to increase our faith because our denying ourselves bring the flesh, the carnal mind down, down, down.
16:28 Destroying the carnal mind and the faith will increase. That is why now if you are praying for people also and you’re casting out nothing working even for you how to cast out for people, you then fast to deny yourself because of cross and deal with
the spiritual forces. Brothers and sisters, today when you read the Bible again from though now you read differently line by line thinking of the issues, thinking of the parallels.16:52 In Jesus name I pray it will bless you. Amen.
