00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 9th March 2016. Guard Against Greed and be a servant. Guard against greed and be a servant.
00:11 We hope we can fear both today and in any case. As the Lord leads. We are not going to be anxious for anything.
00:17 Give thanks in all things. Not anxious for nothing. Be anxious for nothing.
00:17 Give thanks in all things. Be contentment. Contentment with godliness is great gain.
00:27 Brothers and sisters, our heart is treacherously wicked. You better understand it would have changed in many areas. As we begin to deal with our heart in line with the word of God, which is Jesus Christ.
00:40 And as we begin to deal with the Word, with the word of God, with our heart using the word of God, our heart will change many areas and continue to change from glory to glory now. But there are many areas still unchanged or even areas that are changed. The devil comes along and begins to tempt.
00:58 How are we tempted when we are drawn by our own heart’s desire? Now as I said, some translations will say when we are drawn by our own heart’s evil desire. No such thing. The actual original translation is when we are drawn by our own heart desire, then temptation comes.
01:16 So temptation just simply cannot come. It will come only when we are drawn by our own heart desire. But the problem here is we all know what our heart is desiring.
01:26 We can only recognize when the temptation begins to come. Because our heart is treacherously, desperately wicked. It’s cunning.
01:35 You will not know. In fact, God says, father God says hearts are desperately wicked or treacherously wicked. Who can know it? Who can know it? It’s telling us.
01:45 You son, you won’t know it. You child of God. You won’t know it.
01:50 Father. God will know it. Because it’s the spirit plane.
01:53 It’s in the spirit world. Whatsoever the heart is, our heart is in this belongs to the spirit plane. Whatever heart desiring and all this our father God will know.
02:03 And of course the devil will know. Because it is also is a spirit being. Now.
02:09 Now the demons will use that to tempt us. They’ll use the world. They use people of the world to tempt us.
02:18 They’ll use advertisement, they’ll use Hollywood, Bollywood, all these things. They’ll tempt us. And the temptation comes.
02:24 Because they already that familiar spirit who has been assigned to us. Whenever we are born, a demon is assigned by Satan to watch us. Now this demon is many years, many thousands of years old.
02:36 So it has gone through many lives. It has brought many lives to hell. So this demon is called A familiar spirit which knows all about us.
02:45 From the day I’m born, it’s following me. And remember it’s a spirit, it’s a spirit. The demon is a spirit.
02:52 So the world operates in the spirit world. So he has got facilities and strength that we don’t have. But now in Christ we have power over him.
03:01 We have power over our heart, we have power over our body. We have power over everything. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
03:08 So brothers and sisters here the title is guard against greed. Now greed. Sometimes people say greed.
03:16 Greed for oh very greed for money. Greed for money. It’s just not money.
03:21 Now others will say greed for food, gluttony, greedy. Just want to eat and eat because the body has fallen into a trap. What’s happened? What has happened nowadays because the world as Jesus Christ already said is ruled by Satan.
03:37 Satan is the ruler of the world or the God of this world. The Bible says. And Satan uses the world to destroy human beings soul.
03:48 His game is his entire objective is to take each one of us to hell. So this is your enemy. Jesus says your enemy Satan your enemy.
04:00 The devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Swallow. So we have an enemy.
04:08 This Satan is not Jesus enemy. He’s no class to be enemy of Jesus Christ. No standing.
04:15 Jesus Christ is a creator. Satan is a created being as a Lucifer is a created as an angel of light. And then finally he rebels and is thrown down with billions of.
04:27 One third of the angels in heaven followed Satan and they became demons. And they are doing this now. They’ve been judged Satan and so don’t.
04:36 And somebody was telling me some time ago that people even felt Satan feel sorry for Satan because you feel compassion for others. Compassion for others. So they felt sorry for Satan.
04:48 No stop this. Satan is the enemy and he has been judged. He has already been judged.
04:54 That means decided. The sentence for him has been decided. He will be thrown into the lake of fire.
05:00 He and his demons will be thrown into the lake of fire. So we have been judged already. We still have a chance because we have not been judged yet.
05:03 So we have been given to now perform according to what Jesus Christ has put us on earth for. And as we do this by the power of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of Jesus Christ which could only come from the suffering of Jesus Christ suffered and spilled blood for us. And then we use them and then we become disciples.
05:31 We become trained, more and more disciplined and then we do his will and then we become co Rulers with him. And then he comes before that he comes and takes us. We are part of his bride.
05:43 He is the husband of our souls. Friends, this is the fantastic thing. Do not throw away this like nothing.
05:50 I don’t want to think about it or not. No, you have eternity. Whatever we are fighting and whatever you are fighting and struggling on earth to gain in all earth, you will have to leave and go.
06:02 If you just go to funerals, you stand there and watch with sadness. People, of course, people who are left behind in that family are crying and heartbroken and all. But also remember the body in the coffin.
06:15 The body in the coffin. The soul has of course left. The soul has left.
06:19 The spirit being has left the body only there. Because all men are destined to die once and thereafter judgment. The Bible says it’s clear the soul has left.
06:32 So the body is there. And everybody think focus on the body. But actually the soul has left.
06:40 If you are in Christ, absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. So we pray each of us are in Christ. And we go to Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters.
06:50 So just look at that. Everything left behind is left behind. You cannot take nothing.
06:56 That is why use whatever we have for the good. According to what the spirit of God is telling us. Use everything we have.
07:03 Not just money. Your talent, your skills, your energy, your time, your thinking, your speaking, everything use. Now supposing greed.
07:17 Greed is just want to collect more and more. If it’s money, you want to collect more and more. That means your hope is in the money.
07:24 The devil will come and steal that. And when that goes, what happens? What is your hope going to be? Your hope is in Christ. Means they cannot steal Christ.
07:34 Your hope in your money. Money can be stolen, but your hope is in Christ. Can the demons kill Christ? No go.
07:40 No way. So our hope is in Christ. And he can do anything and everything.
07:45 Because he is almighty God. Almighty God. Present everywhere, omniscient.
07:53 All knowledge, all thinking, all power. Omnipotent. All powerful.
07:58 No, all. And he is everywhere omniscient. Now brothers and sisters, today examine ourselves.
08:08 Are we greedy for something? Whether it’s food, whether for television. You may be greedy just watching TV after TV after tv, movie after movie after movie. Or some people are interested in games.
08:21 Football game after football game, cricket after cricket, wrestling after wrestling. There’s greed. Greed.
08:29 No. Your heart wants that on and on, more. Greed is simply want to have a lot of lots and lots and lots of the same thing.
08:37 Without any meaning, without any purpose. So just collecting. Are you greed for collector I’m a collector, you say A coin collector or a doll.
08:47 Dolls collector, whatever. Collecting more and more and more. Are you greedy there? So examine what your heart wants to possess and collect more and more and more.
09:00 So now the greed finally becomes an addiction. Greed, lust. It becomes a lust.
09:07 You cannot stop it. You need it. A spirit of lust.
09:10 Catch you lust for money, lust for things of the world, lust for movies, lust for television, lust for food, lust. Finally it becomes an addiction, it becomes a lust. And you cannot stop it.
09:22 Because your body is craving for it, the heart is craving for it. And when you don’t, you might have so much. And yet the next one you don’t collect.
09:31 You feel that you are lost. You feel you are lost. You need more greed.
09:36 Lust for drinks, for alcohol, for cigarettes. It’s a greed. The body wants more and more and more.
09:43 It becomes greed. So you say, God against all forms of greed. He says, watch out and guard yourself.
09:51 Luke 12:15. Watch out and guard yourself against every form of greed. For not even when one has an overflowing abundance does his life consist or nor is it derived from his possession.
10:04 Your existence is not derived, does not flow from your possession. Your life flows from Christ, from Jesus Christ, the creator of heaven and earth. So when you have this, you can overcome this greed, you can overcome this lust, you can overcome this addiction.
10:22 But you have to go through a withdrawal. You have to go through a withdrawal, trusting Christ. You will lock yourself in or you every time will turn away.
10:30 And whatever causes man to sin, cut it off. He says, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut your hand, he says, telling you how serious it is. The guy is causing you to sin, pluck your eye out.
10:42 Now, the thing is, it’s an example he’s giving. He’s not saying, I expect you to cut your hand all off. Now listen to this.
10:48 Don’t go around doing this. Some teachings are there. It’s not God wants you to be able to overcome sin.
10:55 He said, cut off the thing, but use it as a hand or eye to let you know the seriousness, to let us know the seriousness of this sin. So if your television is causing sin, you cannot stop, unplug the television, finish, give it away, put it away in somebody else has stopped for a while, for two, three weeks. And force yourself to.
11:17 No television. If your thing is, let’s say, collecting dolls, dolls stop buying. Don’t go near there.
11:25 Get rid of all the toys, get away all the dolls. If it is wrestling after wrestling, you got video after video on this. Get rid of all the videos, why you know your soul has been stolen already.
11:39 Overcome this, overcome, brothers and sisters. Greed is a killer. It kills our soul.
11:46 It kills our existence on earth. It kills us from doing the work of God which will stand for eternity. We cannot produce fruits, we cannot produce, produce things that can last for eternity.
12:02 All our works will be destroyed because these are works of the devil. So therefore, anything that catches us, anything that has a form of a greed, a lust is growing. You cut it off in the name of Jesus Christ.
12:15 You begin to think about it, you begin to repent, you begin to confess, you begin to tell another disciple, help me, I have this problem. First, the act of humility. Act of humility.
12:27 Humility is the most important thing in Christ. And then in act of humility, everything will come. That’s why the next word is we are trying to deal with be a servant, lead by you being a servant.
12:40 He says in Matthew 20:26, he said, it is not this way among you, because the Gentiles will lord over the others. Lording over the others. Jesus Christ telling, don’t this be your way.
12:52 Don’t be lording over people. You are the boss. Oh, you are the pastor, so you are the boss.
12:58 Yes. Everybody will respect you or something because you are serving them. Or if you are lording over them, they will also get fed up eventually.
13:06 Now, if they do not know any better because they illiterate or do not know the word of God, they will shout out to you or bow to you and say, yeah, you are the greatest and all that, but your soul will be lost. Jesus will punish you for this kind of things. First, humble yourself now.
13:22 He says, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant. So if any one of us, pastors, servants, elders, want to be great in the eyes of God, we shall be the servant of all. Whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.
13:40 He says, willing and humble. Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served by, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many the paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin. Brothers and sisters, Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve.
13:59 And we are supposed to be like Jesus. So we learn to serve each of the. In the congregation of the minister, I say, look, you have to serve.
14:07 You don’t come to congregation to be served, you come to serve. And as each one serves, everybody is settled. Why everyone coming with the attitude of serving others, thinking of others, they come to serve.
14:20 When they begin to Serve. Each one is serving. Everyone is served already.
14:25 Everyone is helped. Not only in just the food they bring, in the health situation, the soul situation. First in the spirit situation, to give them peace, joy, righteousness, to make sure they’re not oppressed, depressed, no sin issue.
14:39 So the serving people to make them out of bondages, out of captivity. We have to serve so humble ourselves to be servant. If you want to be great, you have to be a servant.
14:51 The, the spirit world is the Jesus world is entirely upside down than the world, you know, the world you got to be boss, put on an act, put on a jacket and three piece suit and command this and command that. But in the spirit world, in where Jesus had decided, that is how the devil got duped. The devil thought we killed Jesus off, but they didn’t know the plan of God is opposite what the world will think, what the devil thinks.
15:17 By dying, Jesus gives life to all. Jesus gets life for himself. And Jesus Christ gives life to all by dying.
15:26 But Satan thought by killing him off, it’s over, they win. It’s by dying Jesus won. Can you imagine? This is how it was.
15:34 By dying Jesus Christ wins for us, we by serving. We win by serving. By being a slave, humble to all, thinking of others, all the time thinking of others.
15:45 You see your life prosper more and more. By caring for others, you see your life prosper more and more. But if you keep on caring for yourself, no, I must do for myself.
15:54 That is before we came to Jesus Christ. Why? We have no protector, we have nothing. We didn’t know the Creator.
16:00 So we are looking for the Creator to help. We are looking for ourselves to help ourselves. And there will be false logic to say God only helps those who help themselves.
16:09 That’s a lie of the devil. God helps those who go to him, Jesus helps those who go to him. If we can help ourselves, then you don’t need Jesus, isn’t it? We need Jesus.
16:20 So the rule of God only helps those who help themselves is a false thing. The doctrine of demons. So we remember.
16:28 To serve, to be great, to be successful in life, to be blessed in life. You think of serving all the time to others. Help them, care for them and in the process Jesus will take care of you.
16:40 So to be the greatest among you, first among you must be a slave. Brothers and sisters, now let’s do this. To prosper in life, you be a servant.
16:50 You be a servant and get rid of any form of greed and lust. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 8th March 2016. Forgive offenders and guard yourselves against greed. Forgive offenders and guard yourselves against greed.
00:02 Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ it is not. We pray so that our hearts and minds will know that the power of Christ is in us. It’s not our prayer that solves the thing.
00:26 It’s actually Jesus Christ solves the issues through the Holy Spirit, through the Spirit of God. It is not. We are solving the issue.
00:35 I am not solving the issue for myself. I pray so that my heart and mind will know the promises of Christ. The power of Christ will begin to manifest.
00:45 The heart and mind will know that they are corrected. They cannot do certain things. They are being rebuked.
00:50 We have to do all that our flesh is commanded to stand down, not to crave for things that are not of God and all that we have. Prayer is to manifest in ourselves the knowledge that these things already exist. Jesus Christ suffered so tremendously to give me the power.
01:08 Now I must use the power. When you use the power of Christ, it is Jesus through the Holy Spirit who does for us now. It has already been done.
01:18 Everything has been done. It was finished on the cross 2,000 years ago. And it’s sitting down there.
01:24 So it’s our belief. We pray because our belief in Christ and the faith of Christ, our faith increases in the faith of Christ and as the faith increases, it will all flow through. So it is not that we pray and pray and then Jesus Christ suddenly gets up and then does something.
01:45 No, it’s all done. It’s all finished and it’s all sitting down there. We are receiving it because of faith, because of our faith in Christ.
01:54 So it’s not how much a prayer it is belief according to your belief will be done unto you without doubting. Your belief without doubting will be done unto you. We pray to make sure the doubt all goes off, especially in our heart and mind, to be renewed in the spirit of mind.
02:11 We pray so that our heart and mind will align themselves with the word of God and then they begin to believe and the things will begin to happen for us. Sometimes we say prayer so powerful. No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:25 Prayer powerful. It’s all done. Your prayer is actually to remind our heart and mind and to educate the heart and mind, the knowledge of Christ so that now our faith will increase and our faith in Christ will increase and the faith of in Christ, the faith of Christ does it for us, is already done.
02:45 This principle you must begin to understand Otherwise people will just pray and pray and pray. Repetitive prayer and all. Repetitive prayer doesn’t work.
02:53 A prayer with understanding, heartfelt prayer with understanding. Knowing your God, knowing the husband of your soul, that is what works. Because your belief will increase, your faith will increase.
03:07 Brothers and sisters, today forgive offenders and guard yourselves against greed. It’s the 8th of March 2016. We will read from Matthew 18:15.
03:18 Matthew 18:15. If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private. If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private.
03:28 If he listens and pays attention to you, you have warned back your brother. So if a brother sins against you, against you, even sins, if any sin, you find your brother. Now, first of all, before you go and do this, take the log out of your own eye before you go and look at the speck in your brother’s eye.
03:46 That’s a command. So we have to check ourselves, examine ourselves. Is there anything in us now when we examine ourselves, our heart and mind will examine ourselves in the right light, in a good light.
03:58 Like I say, we are good. Get somebody else also to examine. Is there anything? Is there anything you see in me, brother? Is there anything you see in me, sister? If anything, please tell me.
04:07 And that’s humility, asking somebody else to check. Now then first ask Jesus Christ, reveal, Lord, anything in me I do not want. I want to be holy, I want to be pleasing to you.
04:18 And then you begin to look at the thing and begin to deal. Suppose there’s something somebody said, or you sense it, you begin to look for the relevant scripture and you begin to command your heart and mind to release these things, not to do this anymore, to know that there is sin and blocking you from a great life. Sin blocks us from great life.
04:36 Sin destroys us and gives the devil a foothold to come and more demons because the temptation is given. What is the temptation you have to check? Sin is there means you have given into some temptation, your heart has given into some temptation. Now you have to see how did the temptation come drawn by our own heart? Desire.
04:55 So what was the desire that drew this temptation? And then what was the temptation that you fell into that was his sin. Now there’s some examination to do. Now then, so in this case we are dealing with, if you go and show him his fault in private, in private, first the scripture that people are rebuked from the pulpit of the church, that is, they don’t listen and they continue sinning.
05:21 And it’s going to spoil others, other souls, it’s going to damage other souls Then they after being told in private couple of times, they’re still not listening. Then they have to be dealt with in private. It’s a command.
05:32 That’s a command. That’s for pastors and elders. All that who are doing this, who have charge over these souls, who care for the souls and God will hold them accountable for the souls.
05:43 So when you tell them private, if he listens, the word is if he listens and pays attention to you, they want back your brother. But how do you do this? In Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual now, not spirit led people, not just legalistic fellow. Always this law and that law and everything else.
06:05 Spirit led, that is you who are responsive to the guidance of the spirit. You who are spiritual means you who have been responsive to the guidance of the spirit. You have been led by the spirit.
06:19 You can sense the spirit of God. You, you follow the spirit of God. These people he’s talking to you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in the spirit of gentleness.
06:30 This gentleness is not this, you know. Vishy Vashi. Hello brother, how are you? Good morning.
06:36 False humility, all that. No, no, this. Remember I talked about gentleness.
06:39 Jesus made a whip and chased everybody, broke all the tables. Millions of dollars were involved, all be scattered. People are running because he is weeping.
06:50 Now hundreds of people were running or whatever. Now there isn’t brothers or maybe thousands, I do not know. Now the issue is this.
06:57 This spirit of gentleness is compassion. Compassion. If a person is in sin, you better don’t put yourself superior or self righteous because all have sinned and follows not of glory of God.
07:12 And now we are going and if any sin in us Jesus forgives. So when person has sinned, you have compassion, I have compassion because I sinned so much before Jesus can save me. I was doing all kinds of things and by mercy he gave me mercy.
07:28 So when I’m going to minister to somebody with compassion, I’ll with compassion first. Unless they don’t want to listen, then I’ll tell them, brother, sister, you’re doing this, this is going to harm you. And if it’s not going to harm you, I’m not cursing you, I’m not condemning you.
07:43 I was a bigger sinner than you. But I’m telling you this is going to harm you. So when I tell them this is going to harm you, some don’t want to listen.
07:49 That what I’m telling. Look, I’m not condemning you, I’m telling you a Warning. It’s like a red light sign.
07:55 The red light is condemning you. Is it? Is a red light judging you? No, the traffic light. Red, yellow, green or green? Yellow, red.
08:05 No, the red light. Is it condemning you? Is it judging you? So when you tell somebody, this is the word of God, if this continues in this rebel will take advantage and he will harm you. Now he tells that, oh, you are condemning you are not condemning you.
08:21 I’m putting a red light for you. Or even an orange light or amber, you know it’s shining. I’m shining it at you to tell you, look here, you’re warning.
08:28 There’s a warning, you’re going to suffer. There’s a problem there. The traffic is running crosswise to you.
08:34 You go there, he’s going to kill you. Please, no. But not with superiority or self righteousness to sell them.
08:41 Look, I was the biggest sinner, but please, please, please. And you’re doing it. Compassion.
08:46 Because you know this real harm is coming. Because why? How I know real harm came for me. Real harm came for me.
08:54 Now, keeping a watchful eye on yourself. And now there’s a command here. No, in Galatians 6:1, while you’re doing this and restoring this person, keeping a watchful eye on yourself so that you are not tempted as well.
09:11 So this is a great warning to all servants and disciples for helping others out of sin, for helping people to come out of sin. A great warning, keeping a watchful eye on yourself. While you are trying to restore this person in the spirit of compassion, you keep a watchful eye on yourself so that you are not tempted as well.
09:32 Not sin as well. Not tempted even as well. Because tempted means your heart is being drawn, your heart being drawn by its own desire.
09:41 Temptation comes. You see how the Bible is so accurate? You know this is because the word of God, he says, I am keeping a watchful eye on yourself so that you are not tempted as well. It didn’t say so that you not sin as well.
09:53 No, so that you’re not tempted as well. Why when I’m ministering to a drunkard, I have to watch out. Because I will be tempted.
10:02 Also because I came from very drunkard, I was a drunkard. So when I ministered to a drunkard, now with compassion, no doubt, O, I will be watchful. I won’t go to places to go and see the drunkard, to tell him out or come out of the pub or something.
10:14 I may be tempted. Now why am I going there if the person doesn’t want to follow? I cannot force Him, I can only tell him the truth. But I’m not going to go and tell him all this when he’s high and drunk.
10:28 I’m going to tell him all this when he’s sober. So when I’m telling him sober also, I still must make sure when I went to his house or whatever, and he’s all going, the whiskey and the brandies and whatnot there. Or even very hot weather.
10:42 Now this is a very hot weather. You know, the cold beer would have been a perfect thing for me before. But now I already take a covenant with Christ.
10:50 I do not want to drink at all. Not a drop. I don’t want to drink.
10:53 So, brothers and sisters, can you imagine sitting with some people in this hot weather and they are having nice cold beer. Wouldn’t I be tempted? Of course I will be tempted. So keep away.
11:06 Because I will feel it in my throat, brothers and sisters. My throat will feel the cold beer. So I am not telling you that temptation won’t come.
11:15 I will say it will come, but I won’t go there. If I sense something, I’ll move away. I’ll just flee from all semblance of evil, Run away from anything looking evil.
11:25 So while we are ministering to people first, we have to watch over our own salvation first. Watch over your own salvation first. Your salvation comes first because you are the part of the bride of Jesus Christ.
11:38 You please focus on your salvation first. Oh, but I must settle the soul. I must go for this.
11:43 Hey, you finally go and continue into sin, and I continue to fall into sin and all that and get the hell out, brothers and sisters, because finally I decide to go there. The cold beard takes over finally one after one, two, three. Finally the south catches no, never ending.
12:00 Then finally become a drunkard. Drunkards don’t enter the kingdom of God. You can say you’re a Christian.
12:05 There’s no such thing as a Christian drunkard. A drunkard will not enter. If you’re a drunkard and you continue to do so without using the power of Christ to come out of it.
12:16 I keep damaging these. He already said drunkards do not enter the kingdom of God. So drunkard addiction, that means you’re not using the power of Christ.
12:25 You do not trust Christ. You do not use the power. You do not believe in the faith of Christ.
12:25 You do not have faith in the faith of Christ. You do not want to go through the withdrawal. Now, why do some smokers and some drunkens and all this do not want to stop because they are afraid of the withdrawal.
12:42 But Trust Jesus Christ. You have to go through the withdrawal. So you don’t buy the cigarette, don’t buy the bull, don’t go near people doing all this and anybody doing all this and suffering.
12:54 And if it’s your house, please ask them to leave because you do not want to get caught in this. If you’re serious with Christ, if you really appreciate the suffering on the cross by your Christ, by your Savior, the husband of your soul, you will take steps. You will not concern yourself what human beings think.
13:11 You will say, lord Jesus, I will go through this withdra trouble. It’ll be painful, Lord. I don’t know what, how painful it will be, but you will see me through this.
13:19 The faith you will see me through. So you begin to do things. You begin to put yourself in the room.
13:23 You begin to get a brother or sister in Christ to stay with you so that you will go through the suffering. You’ll begin to pray. You’ll be.
13:32 You’ll drink water to get rid of things, plenty of water, until no more pays for anything else. You’ll take. Start taking sweets, hacksaw.
13:41 They’ll do. Why? To cut out the cigarette. Desires a day.
13:44 So you have to go through the withdrawal. And for that you need faith in Christ. And for that you need to command your heart and mind to believe in Christ.
13:53 You pray so that your faith in Christ will increase. Brothers and sisters, this is what prayer is about. But while those who are watching over such people, you better not be tempted as well.
14:04 If you are going to be tempted, you better run your salvation for yourself. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. God says, now brothers and sisters, how many times must we forgive? This is forgiving offenders who have went against you.
14:22 This is in Matthew 18:21, 22. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, lord, how many times with my brother sinned against me and I forgive him. How many times will my brother sin against me and I must forgive him and let it go up to seven times? Peter is asking.
14:39 Jesus answered him, I say to you, not up to 7 times, but 70 times 7. 70 times 7. No, 70 times 7 is 490 times.
14:51 He is saying that. He is actually saying an unlimited number of times. Now this is very important to understand.
14:57 An unlimited number of times you forgive. That means you know Jesus is talking about, you know what? Forgive, forgive, forgive. Why this is necessary for our well being.
15:07 I must forgive and forgive and forgive and forgive for my well being. Jesus is caring for you. He loves you.
15:13 That’s why he’s telling you forgive an unlimited number of times. Forgive. Forgive and let it go.
15:20 Why? Because otherwise it’s going to harm you. You keep telling devilah did, the devil did. I cannot forgive.
15:26 It’s going to harm you and me. So I forgive. Forgive.
15:29 But does that mean I must be staying with these people? No. Run away from all semblance of evil. You find that these people are abusing you and keep telling you I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
15:39 After a while you must ask Holy Spirit, do I go away? Do I stay away? Yes, run away, brothers and sisters, because work out your own salvation. Fear and trembling because people continue doing this. After a while, there are times that your heart will rise up and harm them or harm yourself by harming them.
15:55 You harm yourself or the devil take control, you become angry, upset, all that you know. That is why there’s A Scripture, Proverbs 19:11. Good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger.
16:10 And it is his honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offence without seeking revenge and harbouring resentment. Brothers and sisters, you don’t get angry. All that’s why flee from all things that are causing you his problems.
16:23 So there can be sinning many times, but you move away from that. But if they have sinned against you already, you must forgive. You must forgive.
16:30 Cannot hold anything. Why? Because it will harm you. That’s why Jesus is so clear.
16:34 He’s not concerned about the other person who’s sinning. In this particular statement when he’s talking to you. He’s concerned for you because he loves you.
16:42 He doesn’t want you to be harmed with all this, he wants you to forgive. So forgive and forgive and forgive in Jesus name. By the power of Jesus Christ, you’ll forgive for your own sake.
