Philippians 3:17-21Amplified Bible (AMP)
17 Brothers and sisters, together follow my example
and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you.
18 For there are many, of whom I have often told you,
and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ
[rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19 whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly
[their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity],
and whose glory is in their shame—
who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things.20 But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven.
And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ;21 who, by exerting that power which enables Him
even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform
[but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that
they will be like His glorious resurrected body.
1 Peter 2:11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers [in this world]
to abstain from the sensual urges [those dishonorable desires]
that wage war against the soul/
Hebrews 11:16 Amplified Bible (AMP)
16 But the truth is that they were longing for a better country, that is,
a heavenly one.
For that reason God is not ashamed [of them or]
to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God—
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob];
for He has prepared a city for them.
Galatians 5:19-24Amplified Bible (AMP)
19 Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident:
they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality
(total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger,
disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], 21 envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these.
I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice
such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us]
is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience
[not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites.
Luke 20:25 Amplified Bible (AMP)
25 He said to them, “Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,
and to God the things that are God’s.”

“God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”
2 Corinthians 13:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
5 Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith
and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves
Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience]
that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?
Galatians 6:3 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Luke 10:26-28 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?”
27 He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 14 February 2016 A Sunday Enemies of the cross of Christ Enemies of the cross of Christ Brothers and sisters, yesterday when I listening back after posting the
recording then I found that I cleared the blew my nose so loudly a sister has given a formula, you know, to take at night to clear the phlegm but by the time afternoon comes, even after this one hour or so I won’t have all this and fantastic, very
well, so I forget. So then the morning this thing comes and bothers me. So we will know that the enemy Jesus, the enemy our enemy Satan. Of course we’ll try to stop all these recordings and all that but thank Jesus Christ has given me the strength
to get up in the morning and do this daily, daily brothers and sisters, thank Jesus Christ because by God committing me to do this, it also gives me direction.01:10 Every day studying something, thinking of people you know, it’s a blessing for me. Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So please excuse me for this, this sudden loud blowing of the nose.
01:15 Thank Jesus Christ now praise Jesus Christ. Today brothers and sisters, many are going to church. Sunday many are going to church, but many are enemies of the cross of Christ.
01:30 That’s what the Bible says. Many are enemies of the cross of Christ. Now what is these enemies of cross of Christ? Let’s look at the scripture first.
01:38 Before that let’s look at this. There are certain fundamental scriptures we always quote in the emails. It will always be there.
01:45 One is examining ourselves. Two is doer of the Word. We have to be doer of the Word, otherwise it’s not going to work for us.
01:52 So those who are not doers of the Word, please become doers of the Word. How Looking at the Word particular, particular Word of God for that particular issue or circumstance or character building or whatever and then begin to meditate against your
conduct. And then after that telling Jesus Christ lord, I do not want this, I want dead that one you want me to become.02:11 And then when you think like that, then the Word of God will change you. It will remind you. The Spirit of God will remind you.
02:18 When you’re going about to do that, let us say it again, anger or impatience. Because when you focus on patience and finally you begin to abort being patient, the Spirit of God reminds you, no, no, hold, stand, don’t rush or something. And you will
know in your spirit, the impression in your heart will be there and you will stop and it will be changed and you will say hey, after a few months of this After a few weeks of this, you will find that you are changing from glory to glory.02:47 Now the other scriptures that I remind myself for myself is if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. So I better remind myself every day. I am nothing.
02:57 I am nothing without Christ in Christ. I can do all things through Christ Jesus, but without Christ, I am nothing. I deceive myself.
03:05 Then the other one is those who think they know something do not know anything yet that they ought to know. I remind that myself. Why, after knowing this and knowing that, the heart will begin to get prideful.
03:18 This is normal, the normal attack. The heart is treacherously wicked. Treacherously wicked means treason.
03:25 Treason means, you know, it actually means the right governance. Who supposed to govern me? The Spirit. My spirit supposed to govern my body, my heart and mind.
03:36 But my heart wants to govern me. My heart wants to govern my spirit, which has become life in Christ. Life by the Spirit, given life by the Spirit of Christ.
03:45 Because of the blood of Jesus washed my sins. My spirit man was dead in sin. Now it must be dead in Christ.
03:52 That means it must be alive in Christ, but dead. It must be dead to sin. Now that I am in Christ, my spirit man must be dead to sin.
04:02 It was dead by sin earlier. Sin caused it to die. My spirit man was dead because of sin.
04:08 Now I must be dead towards sin. I should not be able to be affected by sin. That is the thing.
04:16 So now how do we do this? By looking at the word of God and changing. Earlier the sin caused my spirit man to be dead. Now the blood of Jesus given me life.
04:25 Now my spirit man must be ha. I must not be tempted by these things. Won’t be because why? The spirit man is the spirit of God who has given his life.
04:35 But now the heart is not going to let me go. My heart is treacherously wicked. Want to control me.
04:40 Want to control me and follow the ways of the world. So he will talk to me. He will do this.
04:45 And I must recognize it and tell my heart to shut up in the name of Jesus Christ. You will not do this. You will obey the word of God and begin to talk to my heart in the still of the night in the bed.
04:55 That’s what the Command is. Psalm 44. Some translation very clearly will say, in the still of the night, in the bed, be still and begin to meditate.
05:04 That’s how. And talk to your heart. He says, talk to your heart.
05:06 You know the particular scripture, the particular translation. So when you begin to do this, before going to Sleep. Your life will change because the word of God will change you.
05:15 Now today we are talking about enemies of the cross of Christ. Philippians 3:17 Although people are going to church and all that they may be enemies of the now let’s check ourselves whether we ourselves have become enemies of the cross of Christ in
some areas or not. Now let’s look at that.05:30 Philippians 3:17 Brothers and sisters, this is Apostle Paul writing together. Follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you. Who gave us the apostles gave us.
05:42 Follow my example. Follow the example of the apostle. Now Apostle Paul also writes somewhere else.
05:48 He says, follow me as I follow Christ. Follow me as I follow Christ. That means don’t you say, don’t follow me if I’m not following Christ.
05:52 Follow me as I follow Christ. Follow his example as he follows Christ and the example that they set for us to observe, but the pattern they gave us, the apostles gave us. For there are many of whom I’ve often told you and now tell you, even with
tears, now he’s crying who live as enemies of the cross of Christ, rejecting and opposing his way of salvation his way of salvation rejecting and opposing his way of salvation.06:24 19 whose faith is destruction, whose God is their belly, their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity sensuality, vanity, worldly appetite things of the world they are craving for that whose glory is in their shame. They do all kinds of
things and they think that it’s glory. They’re feeling fantastic, they’re doing fantastic.06:44 They’re making people, impressing upon people and all, but to their shame, he says, who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things. So but 20 but we are different because we means apostles are different because our citizenship is in heaven. Now
that applies to us.07:02 Our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await the coming of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by exerting that power which enables him even to subject everything to Himself, will not only transform but completely refashion our
earthly bodies so that they will be like a glorious resurrected body. Now this is a great answer here.07:27 Our bodies will not become like angels, but our bodies will become like Jesus Christ. Glorious resurrected body Glorious resurrected body like Christ. Now how does he do that? By the power which enabled him even to subject everything to Himself, he
brought everything under his control, right? Will not only transform, but completely refashion our earthly bodies so that they will be like his glorious resurrected body.07:54 Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, listen again. He is going to change each of our bodies to his glorious body Like Christ. That is, if you are willing to follow him.
08:05 Willing, no, because we can’t do ourselves. When you are willing means, you take the Word of God, meditate on the Word of God, and then the Word of God will change us, will change us from glory to glory. But we must be only willing.
08:18 Willing means. Then we say, lord Jesus, I’m willing. Make me change, Lord.
08:22 Make me obey your commandments. Make me obey. Because we love him, we keep his commandments.
08:26 He says, if you love me, keep my commandments. Make me, Lord Jesus. Make me, Lord Jesus.
08:31 In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to make me obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. Because I want to love him. I want to love him as he wants me to love him.
08:37 I want to love Jesus Christ as the way he once has commanded me to love him by keeping his commandments. Make me do that. In Jesus Christ’s name, I ask your Holy Spirit.
08:49 I. I beg you, Holy Spirit, what will happen when you keep doing this? You will end up going and doing the right thing. Remove that so now. Because the word of God will change you.
08:58 But these enemies of the cross. Look at this. Ridiculous.
09:03 You know, because they say they’re Christians. What is Apostle Paul saying? Enemies of the cross. They say they are Christians, but actually they are enemies of the cross.
09:10 Now. Enemies of the cross. What did the cross resemble? There is crucifixion.
09:16 Everything was crucified there. Sin was crucified there. Curses were crucified there.
09:22 Our useless thing, everything that we do, all crucified there. And that’s why Jesus said, if you follow me, pick up your cross and follow me. Crucify your flesh.
09:37 Our flesh was supposed to have crucified there on the cross. Now we are supposed to crucify here. But here he is not expecting us to crucify our flesh by ourselves.
09:45 He is not expecting that. He knows we can’t do this. But Jesus said, now listen to my word.
09:52 And then the apostles said, follow the example now. When to follow? The body will reject, the heart will reject. But then we have power.
10:00 In the name of Jesus Christ, you command all temptation to get out. You command every spirit, every spirit of lust of the world. Lust of the eyes to things of the spirit of the world.
10:09 Anger, allies, deceit, adultery, fornication, sexual immortality. All the spirits you cast out first in the name of Jesus Christ. Anything your heart is being tempted means you better understand your enemy.
10:20 Jesus Christ says, your enemy, the devil, walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, whom he may Swallow. So he is my enemy and your enemy. So that’s why I am tempting my heart.
10:32 So I must first command every wicked, unknown speed to get out in the name of Jesus Christ. Every unclean spirit. Then if I know the temptation, I bind and break the hold of the spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
10:40 I bind and break the hold of sexual immorality in my heart. Get out in the name of Jesus Christ. Every wicked, unclean spirit of sexual immorality.
10:48 Get out in the name of Jesus Christ. And not to return. I burn you by the blood of Jesus Christ.
10:58 You focus on that particular thing, on that particular sin. If it is anger, if it is now we come to that soon the list, the fruit of the spirit. Because we want the fruit of the spirit.
11:10 Fruit of the Holy Spirit. Now then, what is it you command? Your heart. Heart.
11:15 You love Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart to love Jesus Christ. And when you begin to talk this and then you begin to talk on certain scriptures where you want yourself to be changed like that.
11:26 You want to be changed from glory to glory. There is some particular work to do. Work out your own salvation means believe in Jesus Christ and he will do for you.
11:36 By believing in Jesus Christ means Jesus says you adhere to him. You cling to him, you hold on to him and then hold on to him is how. Hold on to the Scriptures because it’s the word of God.
11:47 You can’t hold on to Jesus Christ in the physical, so you hold on to Jesus Christ of the world, the word of Jesus Christ. You hold on as you keep on thinking and meditating and holding on to the word of Jesus Christ. You’re holding on to Jesus
Christ.12:00 The Holy Spirit will take and put it in our hearts and will come. Now, for instance, next thing you see the practices of sin. Galatians 5, 1924.
12:13 Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident. God is saying. The word of God is saying.
12:13 Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident. I’m reading amplified. They are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality.
12:29 Sensuality means things you’re craving in the senses, all the bodily senses, not just sexual immorality senses you sense, you sense. You please your tongue, you please your mouth. The taste, the smell, the feeling on the flesh.
12:45 You want the clothes you wear. Maybe silk, only you want to wear. Since all the time you want to wear something to.
12:51 To satisfy the body, the carnal self, to taste of the food. Fantastic. More food, more food.
12:56 Expensive food, fusion food. You’re Craving for these kind of things. Total irresponsibility, lack of self control.
13:03 Now sensual, now idolatry, sorcery, hostility, anger, fight, fright, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, promoting groups, you know, small groups in the church, people begin to. I’m a gang. This is a gang.
13:20 Oh, I’m a gang. So it’s promoting heresies. That means false logic, false doctrine, having small sections in the only two, three people.
13:28 You misfit the others. All you want to misfit all. This is, God says, terrible sin, envy, drunkenness, righteous behavior.
13:37 Oh, revelry, you know, the football game nowadays, all kinds of things. The way it catches you, you go there, it’ll catch you also. Because rioters, behavior and all so, and other things like this.
13:50 I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Will not inherit the kingdom of God. Apostle Paul is warning, but the fruit of the Spirit.
14:02 The result of his presence within us is love. Unselfish concern for others. Love is what? Unselfish concern for others.
14:10 Inner peace. Patience. Patience is not the ability to wait.
14:15 But. But how we act while waiting. Patience is not the ability to wait, is defined by the amplified which is taken from the Hebrew and other meanings of Buddha.
14:24 Patience, not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting. That means I used to be impatient. Cutting the road, you know, cutting this way, cutting that weight.
14:33 Now if I jam now I have to wait. And how I wait calmly, I have to wait. And how God makes me calm.
14:39 I call blood of Jesus. Blood of Jesus. Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, Self control.
14:46 Now it starts with love, the fruit of the Spirit. One fruit, the various shades of the fruit. One fruit of the Spirit starts with love, ends with self control.
14:55 So when people don’t have self control, they surely don’t have the fruit of the Spirit. Those who belong to Christ Jesus 24 have crucified the sinful nature together with his passions and appetite. Those who who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites.15:15 So those who have not done this are enemies of the cross. Enemies of the cross. Now here, can you go back and see the citizenship of heaven.
15:24 Ours right now, here. We must remember those defined here also those who keep their mind on earthly things. Enemies of the cross, he says in 19 Philippians 3:19, who focus their mind on earthly things.
15:41 Earthly and temporal things. The enemies of the cross. So if you are today going to church, yes, but if you are focusing on earthly things, man.
15:49 All the worldly lust, all the worldly how the world do iPhone 5, iPhone 25, iPhone 35, 55, 100. All that focusing on all this, it will catch you. And you are only focusing this because these are tools.
16:01 If you have the money, buy it and use it. These are tools only. But if you focus, I got a better phone, I got a better phone than them.
16:08 All kinds of things goes on because God calls them enemies of the cross of Christ. Enemies. You’re not an enemy of Christ because you cannot.
16:17 What can anyone do to Christ? But you are enemy of the cross because the cross calls for crucifixion of our sinful nature. The cross demands crucifixion of our sinful nature. But if you don’t crucify sinful nature, you are an enemy of the cross of
Christ and you are thinking of only earthly things, worldly things.16:41 Brothers and sisters, today let’s change. Go to Philippians 3, 17, 21 and meditate. Go to Galatians 5, 19, 24 and meditate in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters today the power of Christ Daily 15-11-2015 titled No1 Knows. No One Knows is a Sunday. So many will be going to congregations and we pray that some are not missing it.
00:19 Forsaking the congregation, forsaking the assembling of yourself, as God says. By the same time you understand that I pray you are in the right congregation where each one loves each other. They are personal about it.
00:31 They are not strangers. You just go and sit in the last pew and come out or middle pew and come out. Nobody knows.
00:38 You have to form a group because God Jesus Christ said fellowship one another, love one another as he has loved us. And joining this together is critical. Critical not being in the fellowship of.
00:53 Of like minded people who love Christ, who love Christ, not love something else. There are people who. There are a lot of congregations throughout the world I’ve seen.
01:03 I’m talking about throughout the world I’ve seen. Sadly they’re meeting for some other purpose. They’re not meeting for the purpose of Christ.
01:09 They are meeting sometimes for just like a clubhouse. So I pray that’s not the case in you. Now you’re listening to this.
01:15 The very fact you’re listening to this daily in the morning clearly shows your desire, your spirit. Man wants to get the word of God. The word of God is life for us.
01:24 Life. The word of God is food for us. Remember Jesus said that the apostles the disciples came back with food for him.
01:33 And he said, no food. You do not know of doing the will of Father God. It is food for us.
01:40 Doing the will of Father Jesus Christ is our food. The word of God is our food. Strengthen us and separate bone from marrow.
01:48 Now today the title is no One Knows. No One Knows. Now this title is important title.
01:54 Like this issue. I have taken it from the scriptures. No one Knows.
01:59 Okay, so Mark 13:31 brothers and sisters. Mark 13:31. Heaven and earth as now known will pass away.
02:11 But my words will not pass away. This is from amplified because I trying to explain the further meanings into this. Heaven and earth pass away as now known.
02:20 What heaven and earth now known is pass away, but my words will not pass away. 32 but of that exact day or hour, no one knows that exact day or hour. No one knows.
02:32 Not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son in his humanity, but the Father alone. 33. Be on guard, stay constantly alert and pray for you do not know when the appointed time will come.
02:48 34 it is like a man away on a journey who when he left home Put his servants in charge. Put his servants in charge, each with his particular task. And also ordered the doorkeeper to be continually alert.
03:05 Therefore, be continually alert. On the alert. For you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
03:17 36. Stay alert in case he should come suddenly and unexpectedly and you find you sleep and find you sleep and unprepared. 37.
03:29 What I say to you, I say to everyone. This is Jesus Christ speaking. What I say to you, I say to everyone.
03:35 Be on the alert, stay awake. Take and be continually cautious. Now, brothers and sisters, this is Jesus Christ saying, this is from the Gospels, Mark.
03:44 Gospel of Mark. But let’s look at this, because it may look very difficult to do all this. It’s not for me.
03:53 Also when I first, even before born again or before Jesus got hold of me, all this didn’t make sense. All this. But once I was born again, once I came to the Lord, surrendered.
04:03 I said, I only want to obey him and him alone. Because He’s a creator. He’s my creator.
04:07 Everything was created by Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ, through Jesus Christ. Then we relegate to Him. Now only he is coming back to collect his followers, to collect those who believe in Him.
04:19 Only he is coming back. As I said yesterday, no saint a couple of days back, no saint coming back for us. Nobody else cannot come because all else is created.
04:29 Every person other than Jesus Christ is created Father God. Jesus Christ was a word in Father God and the Holy Spirit is in them. And then the Father God has a spirit and has a word.
04:42 All three of them in one. That’s a one whole unit. They was, is and I will be.
04:52 Was, is and I will be. I am the alpha and omega, the ancient of days. So, brothers and sisters, so the rest of human beings, no matter who you call saint and this and that and everything else, they are created beings.
05:05 So of course there are congregations, there are denominations who will say they’ll make their own theology other than what Jesus Christ already said in the Bible. They will tell all kinds of things. And then now some congregations, some
denominations have changed the Bible.05:21 So you have to be careful. They change the Bible. Some will be changing the Bible to suit their theology.
05:27 So they write a lot of things for you to divert yourself from Jesus Christ. Instead of worshipping Jesus Christ, we’ll end up worshipping all kinds of things which will not save. It may give some benefits on earth.
05:38 Because I remember, I’ve written, I’ve Spoken a statement called the devil’s Blessing. How the devil was blessing me and I thought I’m fine. But the blessings.
05:47 When people get blessings, they immediately think the blessings are from God. Material blessings can also come from the devil. Because he’s the ruler of the world.
05:56 He took Jesus Christ to the mountaintop and said, I give you all of this. How is he giving all of this? Is because he has rulership over the world. So that’s why God said, friendship with the world is enmity with Father God.
06:09 Friendship with the world. That’s why Bhima. There’s another scripture that says, anyone who does not hate his life in this world has no eternal life.
06:19 So I must hate my life in this world world, not on this earth. I must hate the worldly way. I must not love the worldly way.
06:27 The worldly way is. The ruler of the world is Satan. So I must hate its way.
06:31 I must hate the way Hollywood does, Bollywood does. I must hate the way. Cunning, cheating businesses, profiteering, all this thing going on lack they control things.
06:46 Lying is part of nature. For instance, those days when I am business, there are fellows will tell you if you don’t lie, you are a fool. You can’t do business.
06:55 Even now I am sure people are telling if you don’t lie, you are a fool, you can’t do business. And those people in the business world begin to believe that because they don’t have Christ, they don’t have a miraculously divine intervention or
intervener for them. So they begin to think they also must lie.07:12 They must put a false declaration in the bank loan and whatnot so they can get more loans. Or they may think there are tender documents. They must put some lies in there, otherwise they will not get the business.
07:23 But actually we don’t need to. Once you come to Christ, you depend on Christ, you’ll be given more than enough, you will be provided for. Because he said, my children will not bake bread, you will not bake bread.
07:34 And then we got the other, other issues. There are false pastors and false prophets and false apostles and false. All these people who have congregations and they suck the congregation money dry, keep on money, money, money for reasons.
07:48 And they live a life, some having two aeroplanes, jet planes. Can you imagine this kind of nonsense goes on? Why they feel that they are right? Look, if you have Christ, you will live a simple life. You will not live a fleshy life.
08:05 Fleshy life is the world life. Oh, I got a big watch, expensive watch and all. But let’s go to this scripture no one knows.
08:11 Now this comes from the fact of an Israelite wedding where the betrothed, the woman. Betrothed woman is at home. The fiance has gone back to prepare a place for her.
08:24 So he goes back to his father’s house. Because he stays in his Father’s house, right? So he goes there and he will prepare another house adjacent to it or attached to it even. And then the Father will decide when the house is ready.
08:33 And then the Father will say, now son, go and collect your. Go and get your wife. Bring your wife home.
08:43 Now this comes from that God has put that as a semblance. Jesus said, in my Father’s house there are many mansions. So I go to make a room for you, make a room for you.
08:56 So Jesus is there. And that’s why he says only the Father knows why. Only the Father decides when the house is ready.
09:04 Because the Father allows this boy to bring the future wife in and the house is not ready. He will be humiliated in the community. He will look bad.
09:13 So the Father decides whether the house is well and done properly for this bride that His Son is bringing the same thing here. Father, God only knows. Therefore he said, no one knows.
09:23 No one knows hour or no one knows the exact day or hour. Not even the angels, nor the Son, he said, nor the Son means Jesus Christ. But in bracket this amplified is put in his humanity.
09:34 Because now Jesus Christ is sitting in the heavens beside Father God, right hand side of Father God and Father God has put everything under his feet. So now I also begin to believe that Jesus will know. Jesus can decide when he wants to come.
09:48 But the Father alone, Scripture says, Father alone knows. Now be on guard and stay constantly alert and pray. Now no one of us, if we take the literal meaning here, be on guard and stay constantly alert and pray for you do not know when the
appointed time will come.10:05 Humanly impossible. Humanly impossible. But Jesus is still saying this for us to do this.
10:11 So how this is done? This is done by you believing in Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit will put you on alert. Holy Spirit. That’s why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us.
10:22 I can’t be vigilantly this one sin, that one sin, sin, sin, sin, Sin here, sin there, sin here I will die. I cannot do this. So I don’t look for sin.
10:33 But when sin is there, the Holy Spirit will prompt us, will shake us up. Will distress me that I’m going towards sin, my son, you’re going towards sin, son, you’re going towards sin, son, you’re going towards sin. There’ll be a distress.
10:46 And I say this then only so I am not constantly watching out for sin. How am I going to fall into sin? Will I fall into sin there? But of course there are obvious things. For instance, I don’t go to a pub and sit down there.
11:00 But if God tells me to go to a pub and minister somebody, I’ll go minister. That’s not the issue. I will not drink.
11:05 And if I still feel agitated there, if I feel tempted, I will leave, I will leave. But if I am not tempted, I will sit down there and minister to somebody and come. Because that’s where otherwise you stay away.
11:17 God said, you are still in the world. You are not of this world. Otherwise cannot minister to anybody.
11:22 But regularly, day by day, I go to the pub to minister means what will happen. You fall into sin because bad company will corrupt good character. Because there is a spirit of drunkenness there.
11:32 A spirit, an evil spirit of getting you addiction there that you feel like your flesh will like it. They’re singing the songs there. You like it.
11:40 Old memories will come back for me. How can. So this is not a norm.
11:46 This once in a blue moon. When God said go and see somebody there, I’ll go and see. But I also go to restaurants, clubs, no issue.
11:56 What club we have, you know, slango club here. We have a golf club here, which I’m a member before I came to the Lord. We are still members.
12:04 So from time to time we end up going. We don’t regularly. Because I don’t have the time.
12:08 I got things to do. I’m a pastor now. There are so many people to deal with and help them now.
12:14 So be on the alert. Means you’re not going to edgy, you’re not going to be edgy. The Holy Spirit will tell you.
12:20 So you just pray in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, make me holy, keep me holy.
12:28 Make me on guard, alert me, Holy Spirit, please. I do not want to sin. I do not want to sin.
12:33 I want to please Jesus Christ. I want to glorify his name. And then when you pray a prayer like that, it will happen.
12:40 The Holy Spirit is there given for us, to guide us, to teach us all that. Now then it is like a man away on a journey who when he left home, put his servants in charge, each with his own particular task. This is Jesus, reflection of Jesus going off,
which has gone off now and he’s come back.13:00 But he said he left his home with servants in charge. So every servant in the congregation we are in charge of a particular task, what we are supposed to do. And also order the doorkeeper to be continually alert.
13:12 Now this doorkeeper business, Jesus said the true shepherd will come through the door. The thief will come through the fence and at the back, and it will not come through the front door. He will come through trying to climb over and steal the sheep.
13:25 So doorkeeper here now. I am the temple of God. You are the temple of God.
13:29 Your body is the temple of God. Now, as a congregation, I am the first doorkeeper here because I am the pastor. God planted the church using me.
13:40 Jesus planted. No, not me planted. He given to me.
13:42 I will make a mess of it now. But there are other servants. So all of us got each work to do.
13:49 Each disciple has got work to do. To protect what? First, to protect every one of us ready to go home as soon as Jesus comes. That’s the first job, to make sure that everybody is pleasing Jesus Christ.
14:01 If you’re not there to make sure that, tell people, please, this is right, this is wrong. Don’t do this, brother. Empower them with the power of Jesus Christ.
14:08 Empower them in the name of Jesus Christ. Casting out evil spirits, healing the sick. Lay hands and praying for each other first, to have righteousness, peace and joy.
14:17 To help seek the kingdom of God first. And then if you’re not doing this, you are not a servant. And if I’m not watchful over the sheep that God has given me to watch over, they are his sheep.
14:26 They’re not my sheep. But I’m supposed to be a doorkeeper now. I’m not the alert.
14:30 If something going to somebody going to come and steal the sheep’s soul and go, I have to get involved. Therefore, be continually on the alert. Remember here this constantly alert, alert, alert.
14:41 Three times of all times. He’s telling in this scripture alone. For you do not know when the master of the house is coming, midnight, evening, morning, Worcester crows or whatever, in case he should suddenly come unexpectedly and find you asleep and
unprepared.14:57 That’s why there’s work, brothers and sisters. Even as a disciple, you’re just a new disciple. There’s work.
15:02 You care for one another, Care for them. Care for them. What? First that they are you first you.
15:09 I must be ready in Jesus name. I must be expectantly waiting for Jesus Christ. I want Jesus Christ to come.
15:17 Why? Only he can settle this miserable world. This world has to stop the wickedness. Increasing, increasing, increasing.
15:24 Although he says no one will know the exact day hour. No one knows, of course, seasons he says, you will know earthquakes will increase plagues, will increase knowledge, will increase wickedness, will increase all that. And we are seeing that
happen.15:37 But our problem is this. Let us say five years ago there were 10 points of plague or 10 points of earthquakes. Now it became 30 points of earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars.
15:51 There were 10 points of wars five years ago. Now 30 points of wars. Now immediately people will think, yeah, these are end days, end times, last days coming.
16:00 How do you know? It has to be hundred points of earthquakes and hundred points of wars and rumors of wars and hundred points of plagues and 100 points of wickedness before he comes. Therefore, the boogeyman. No, they use this boogeyman.
16:16 Frighten. Trying to frighten everybody. No, but you just be continually alert.
16:19 You want to please Jesus Christ. You’re not going to fear all these. Fear is not of Christ.
16:25 Fearing God is of Christ because you love him. On reverence. Brothers and sisters, today let’s ask the Holy Spirit to distress you when you’re going near sin.
16:35 Ask the Holy Spirit distracts you. When I’m becoming tired and weary, I don’t want to do work or lazy or whatever like the bad servant. Ask him.
16:44 He will do for us. In Jesus name I pray, brothers and sisters. Amen.
16:48 Wonderful day. Amen, brothers.
