    00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 13 December 2015 titled Familiar Spirits Familiar Spirits. Brothers and sisters, before we start, we look at again. We fear nothing.

    00:17 We do not fear anything. Fear is an evil spirit. We will not allow it to touch us.

    00:21 We will not fear anything. But we will have fear of God. Fear of God is awe and reverence for him and His Word.

    00:30 We will believe in Jesus Christ. We humble ourselves to the Word of Jesus Christ and grace will come. We humble ourselves.

    00:40 We will not be proud. We will not be proud because God will oppose us. We don’t want that.

    00:46 We will humble ourselves to the Word of God first. And if we think we know something, we do not know anything as we ought to know as yet. We remind ourselves that.

    00:56 And we remind ourselves that if we think we are something, when we are nothing, we deceive ourselves. But in Christ we can do all things through Christ Jesus. And we remember the sacrifice.

    01:08 But he’s not on the cross anymore. He’s sitting on the right hand side of Father God and we are inside him and he’s in earth. And he’s the husband of our soul.

    01:17 The bridegroom and the bride is the church. And we are part of the church. And we are waiting for him to come and settle us and take us home.

    01:25 And while we are here, we will live in peace. Peace, righteousness. Peace and joy there can be pressed all around.

    01:32 But we will not be crushed, struck down. We cannot be destroyed. We cannot be destroyed.

    01:38 We remember this. Therefore we are not going to fear because he, absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Brothers and sisters, in Jesus Christ, we say this.

    01:38 We remember this. No fear now. Fear of anything.

    01:53 Sometimes the fear we do not think is fear. But actually we do things because we actually, deep down there’s some fear. Now, for instance, familiar spirits.

    02:01 Let me go through the scriptures first and then we will deal with it. First from Ephesians 6:12amplified. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood contending with physical openness.

    02:16 No, we are not contending with physical openness. We are not contending with human beings. We love our enemy, if you want.

    02:21 We must love our enemy. And we force our heart and mind to love our enemies to be sons of the Most High God. We command my heart and mind, in the name of Jesus Christ, to love even my enemies.

    02:32 Whoever say bad things against us, whatever, we forgive them. We forgive them. And we love them for our own sake, not for the person who is irritating us.

    02:41 For our own sake. But against rulers, against powers, against the world forces of this present darkness. These rulers and powers and world forces.

    02:52 God is talking about spiritual forces, spiritual rulers. The ruler of the world is the God of the world is Satan. Satan, ruler of the world is Satan.

    03:02 Against the power, spiritual powers, dark forces, forces of darkness against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly supernatural places. The demonic forces which is already stealing souls, killing people off demonic forces, taking 10 to
    hell. Brothers and sisters, we too, our eyes are open now we look at the spiritual world.

    03:26 Now that we keep looking. God says, look at the unseen because the seen are made from things unseen. So God is talking about spiritual issues always.

    03:36 Why we came from the spirit. I am a spirit being, you are a spirit being. We have heart and mind, and this is a soul and both.

    03:45 This soul is in this body, so we have a body. So my leg, my arm, my body. But it is not earth.

    03:52 Our body is not earth. So our body being born one day is not of any consequence to me. My spirit.

    03:57 God says, jesus said, I knew you before the foundation of the world. Can you imagine how wonderful Jesus Christ, the Creator, I knew you. He says, son Christilus, I knew you before the foundation of the world.

    04:12 And whom I foreknew, I predestined, I sanctify, I justify, I glorify. He takes us through. He makes all things work for the good of those who love God.

    04:26 There are scriptures I’m quoting. Love God and do according to his purpose. He will do it according to his purpose.

    04:35 But we must love God. Love God is keeping his commandment, which is keeping his commandments. Prescription according to prescription.

    04:42 Brother, sister. Today, family experience. Now familiar spirits.

    04:47 Let’s read in Leviticus 19:31. I’m reading from the Catholic edition. Do not turn to mediums or wizards.

    04:55 Do not seek them out to be defied by them. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26.

    05:04 If any turn to mediums as prostituting themselves to them, I will set my face against them and will cut them off from the people. Leviticus 20:27. A man or a woman whose medium or a wizard shall be put to death.

    05:21 They shall be stoned to death. Their blood is upon them. Deuteronomy 18:10 12.

    05:29 No one shall be found among you who makes a son or daughter pass through fire. Fireworkers or who practices divination, soothsaying or augur, or a sorcerer. Augurs A U G U r Suchaya or augur, or so sorry.

    05:46 Do not make your children delicate. Or one who casts spells, or who constructs ghosts or spirits or who seeks oracles from the dead. Whatever does this, whoever does these things is an abhorrent to the Lord.

    06:01 It is because of such important practices that the Lord your God is driving them out before you. Now, this is from the Old Testament. In the New Testament, in the age of dispensation, Jesus Christ decided not to do all this, not to apply the Old
    Testament.

    06:17 It’s a testament of death, is it? It’s a testament of death. The new covenant is a testament of life. So God has given a dispensation.

    06:27 Why? He wants everyone to be saved. He desires all turn to him and confess their sins and accept him as the Lord and Master and Saviour and be saved. And because of the desire, he made this new covenant by sending his son to die on the cross to rise
    again.

    06:42 And then those who turn to his Son, his Jesus Christ, his pure holy blood washes us clean and gives us power not to do all this. So we must now take up the power, spiritual power. That is what it is about.

    06:56 Casting out evil spirits, commanding in the name of Jesus Christ, our heart and mind and our body and all they will obey. I know this. Now all this I am reading.

    07:07 There are Christians who are still doing this, who are going. I will go to details. And I have done that before I came to the Lord.

    07:14 I have done that. So what am I condemning? People know, I am cautioning you, I am warning you from the scriptures because as I warn myself, I’ve done this and got into a lot of mess. Now let’s look at this.

    07:29 Do not turn to mediums or wizards. What are mediums? Mediums. Sometimes the new English will be channelers.

    07:35 They channel spirits. Wizards are sorcery sorcerers and wizards are magicians who put spells on people who can do things now, do not seek them out to be defiled. When I was not in Christ, some kind of herding, of course, some kind of Christian, some
    kind of.

    07:53 Some kind of everything. I went everywhere, you know, all kinds of religions I go to. Some kind of.

    07:53 Some kind of some kind. Now I went to this Bomo. Bomo is a shaman.

    08:03 It’s some kind of wizard, some kind of medium. And we think that it. Because trouble and trouble, you know, the hospital can’t heal the lungs.

    08:12 All whole life going off, can’t heal anything, trouble. So I went to this. Now, those days before, even before when I was young, when I started working, there will be these soothsayers.

    08:24 Soothsayers are fortune tellers, the soothsayer ogre or sorcerer Augur, you know, ogre say this is a good omen. This is a bad omen. Is this augurs well for you? This is Deuteronomy 10, 10 and up to 12.

    08:38 August well for you. So now suers are fortune tellers. They will come.

    08:43 I will not listen. Why I in my heart, if the fortune tells us so good, let him tell his own fortune. He should settle himself.

    08:52 He is in this match, going from door to door, trying to tell fortune difference. Now parentheses pride. What I had pride.

    09:00 That’s the first killer. The fortune teller is not the first killer. The first killer is pride.

    09:06 Now full of pride. I was. I thought I knew later on when I’m in trouble, business all falling apart, this and that.

    09:14 A friend of mine took me to a fortune teller and this chap is now looking at leaves and speaking from there. And he thinks the leaves have come 2,000, 5,000 years ago, whatever. All the story goes on and they record what they are saying.

    09:28 And so we keep the tape and listen to it all rubbish. Now the thing is this the danger. Why God says I’ve put them to death.

    09:36 Those fought wizards and mediums, channelers put them to death. God is serious about this. In fact, he says in Leviticus 26 he says if anyone turns to medium and wizards prostituting themselves to them, that means I prostituted myself to them.

    09:52 I became adulterer, spiritual adulterer. I was physically adulterer to my wife, I in the physical. And I’m a spiritual adulter to my father, God and Jesus Christ, our spiritual adulterer.

    10:07 That’s what God is calling. Because God died on the cross to provide for us. I leave that and go to this fellow.

    10:16 Why? Why? Now let’s look at it. Why did I go to the shaman? Because if you come to Jesus Christ, I had a false belief that I must be right. I must be holy already before I come to Jesus Christ.

    10:32 I cannot go to Jesus Christ in all this sin. I’m a drunken, I’m a violent man. I’m an adulterer how to go to Jesus Christ.

    10:39 So the devil is duping me, corning me and my heart and mind also corning me because they follow the fallen nature. And I don’t want to go to Jesus Christ. Because if I go to Jesus Christ, I must stop my.

    10:51 I should have first stopped my drinking drunkenness. I must stop my adultery, I must stop my everything. I must put myself right and then go to Jesus Christ.

    10:59 That is wrong. You come to Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ changes us. Jesus Christ will change us.

    11:06 He said, come unto me and I shall give you rest. When I went to Jesus Christ, of course, when he was entering into him, he washes us clean because he takes all our sins at the cross and destroys it. And by the time you enter and he enters you, we
    are clean.

    11:22 We are clean, we are holy, we are righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ. So by the time I enter Jesus Christ, by the time I say, I’m sorry Lord, I’m a sinner, and this and that, and then please take me, forgive me, and all he forgives us washes
    clean and then we enter him. We enter him holy.

    11:38 Now that is why he said, if you come in and after that go back your own way, it’s like dogs to the vomit. If I go back to my own way, if I got back the old way, if the dogs are vomit. Now, brothers and sisters, very serious issue.

    11:54 He washes us clean, Pastor, we continue committing a sibish means. He says what it is the suffering on the cross. You are rejecting it.

    12:04 You are stepping on his blood. The Bible says, now, brothers and sisters, you are trampling on the blood. Don’t let’s not do this.

    12:10 Let us cry out to Jesus Christ and be there. Now these mediums of visit, there are cases, for instance, without knowing people may be doing these so called Christians now. Especially when somebody dies in the house, especially the eldest son,
    especially in Chinese custom and many customs, they will have a gathering.

    12:28 Sometimes Chinese will have a gathering where this channeler will come or the medium will come and begin to say what the father said and all that. And they’ll call the spirit of the Father, it seems, and the Father spirit will come and speak. So
    there was a case of a Chinese boy, he doesn’t believe what non father died.

    12:46 He’s very sad, he’s upset. But then everybody say, come, come sit around the table. So when he sits around the table and then this medium woman is suddenly saying, and he’s speaking like the sound of the Father.

    12:57 And then he’s a bit shocked. And then after that he decided, okay, this fellow may be mimicking. He said, okay, tell me where, where, how Prove to me you’re my father.

    13:06 And the father, the spirit is speaking and saying that I gave you a watch near some kind of primary vegetation, jungle or some kind of forest where a pond is. And I gave you a watch and I told you certain things and only you. I never told anybody
    else you knew.

    13:29 And the watch was given by me at that place. This is how I did it. The boy Got a shock.

    13:33 And he believed, that’s a father. But how does this happen? First of all, remember die God is very clear in the Bible judgment. And we cannot come back.

    13:42 The spirit of the man and the soul all cannot come back. And all the woman or man cannot come back. Finish over.

    13:49 I’ll deal with it another day. If you read in Luke 16, the rich man in the poor man’s story crying out, I’ll go back and say no one can go back. Moses telling now, I hope they will as the Lord leads.

    14:01 Now here the boys are confused and they follow. That’s why many Christians from these traditions are not follow this because they don’t know what else to do because they begin to hear. That is why you must know the spirit world, the spirit world,
    how it works.

    14:16 Then you’ll know for sure. How this works is this, that that’s a familiar spirit. The spirit that is familiar to you.

    14:23 Now, when each of us are born, there’s a demon that comes and attacks, watches us, watches us how we can destroy our lives. And he knows all about me. From the day I was born until now, the demons are surrounding me.

    14:35 For me, a lot of demons. Because when I sin like crazy and all the demons entered me and Jesus Christ got all the demons out. And they are out.

    14:42 And they are of course out to destroy me. But Jesus Christ, my faith and hope is in Jesus Christ to protect me and take me home. And this demon, especially the demon that was with me from the time I was born, knows all about me.

    14:55 In fact, he will know all about me. More than I can remember. I. I may now don’t know our infantry and all, we don’t remember.

    15:02 So the fellow can talk this thing. So when the father start talking this. Because when the father gave the watch to the boy and said certain things at the pond, the demon would have been there.

    15:13 The demon that is watching the father and the demon that watching the boy would have been there. So this father, the demon comes and acts like a. Let’s see if it’s a father puts on the voice.

    15:24 And then the boy is shocked. And then when you tell people, no, don’t do this, and they say, no, it’s my father, it’s my father. My father spoke and he told me certain things.

    15:34 And you have to feel sorry for them, why their spiritual eyes are not open. They cannot see how the spirit world is working. Brothers and sisters, God is serious about this.

    15:44 He cannot allow us to go to mediums and visits and August. Well, don’t go into little things. Oh, this green tie is good that I do all that nonsense.

    15:52 So our faith in Christ. Green tie is good. Tomorrow you can’t get a green tie.

    15:56 What happens there now? You must remember, Father, God protects us. Jesus loves us. His power to protect us is complete.

    16:06 There is nothing missing in his power. He has done it all. It is finished.

    16:09 He said on the cross. So therefore he doesn’t want us to go anywhere. Here, go medium go fortune teller and all this.

    16:15 He calls us the prostituting houses. Don’t go there and say this augurs well. Suddenly something comes in the sky.

    16:24 A cross comes in the sky. Oh, this augurs well. All this falls under this.

    16:28 Don’t follow. Follow Jesus Christ. Know the spirit world.

    16:33 Look in the spirit. Look at the things unseen. In the name of Jesus Christ, I beg you, brothers and sisters.

    16:39 This look real, you know. And feel sorry for them. These people who are still doing these things and danger Christians feel sorry.

    16:47 Pray for them. Bind the wickedness that attacking them. Get out in the name of Jesus Christ and love them.

    16:54 Amen. Love them. Amen.

    00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 12 December 2015 titled Satan’s Greatest Deception. Satan’s greatest deception. Yesterday, brothers and sisters, we dealt with Hao Sanzi, one of China’s greatest
    generals, strategist, tactician and also philosopher.

    00:26 He wrote a lot of things, but he’s in battle so he has to do all kinds of things. So he goes into war, he has fought the country, of course, then he has to do all kinds of things. And he says one of the greatest fundamentals for war is deception.

    00:40 You must use deception. So Satan uses deception because he’s the father of all lies, Jesus says. So one of the greatest deception and the greatest victory sons suppose have said that the vanquished thinks he’s the victor, the vanquished thinks he’s
    the victor.

    01:04 And one of the greatest victories also is when you win a battle, when you win a war without a battle, without fighting, burn this earth. These are deceptions and all. Now we are using that simply to highlight some issues because this is a spiritual
    battle.

    01:24 Spiritual battle. Now all over the Bible, particularly in the New Testament, God talks about it, but same time, Satan’s greatest deception is to make us believe he doesn’t exist. And two, if he does exist, he is powerless, completely, doesn’t do
    anything just because we are born again and we are born of the Spirit and God is with us and we are sealed for the day of salvation.

    01:54 Satan just goes to hibernation, he just sleeps. There’s nothing happening. That’s the greatest deception.

    02:03 And there are other small deceptions, but great ones. And this he has built it so deep, so deep into Christians and wide and deep in many, many, many congregations, churches and all that it’s gone through so much. So people are captives now.

    02:21 First of all, there are so many scriptures you can refer to which I’ve put it in the email today, but even that I only have a portion and I cannot continue because there are too many. We start off as basic. So whenever you hear some words from me,
    don’t listen to me, brothers and sisters, hear me and I’m going to check because it’s important that it’s settled in your heart and spirit, otherwise you’re not going to have the word of God inside you, changing you victoriously living life,
    brothers and sisters.

    02:52 So first of all, Jesus said he came to set the captive free. Saint came to set the captive free. Captive who we captive from what? Captive from some will say sin true, but how did things come? The deceiver, the Father of all lies, Satan deceived
    Eve.

    03:12 And then the gene of sin, the character of sin has moved on to earth. And we all have sinned. We all have sinned.

    03:21 And because of the sin we became captive. But captives first of all to set free from the captivity of Satan. That is a fact.

    03:31 He came to set the captive free. And. And then once we are free, then he says in Mark 16:17, these are the words before he left.

    03:41 This is like a person, if a person you love. My Father who passed away. If he has given me, he did not.

    03:48 If he has given me some last words for me to do, I will go and do. These are last words before our Lord and Master, the husband of our souls. The.

    03:59 The Savior of our soul who’s coming back is telling us. He said, those who believe will cast out evil spirits in my name. Now this is a very big fundamental.

    04:11 So now remember I’m putting some kind of sequence here because the deception is so deep and so great. Oh no, there’s no Satan. Let’s not talk about Satan.

    04:19 There are people who will answer me. Let’s not talk about Satan because we talk about Satan. I’m talking about Christians.

    04:25 If you talk about Satan, then we are only calling for trouble. We are inviting trouble. We don’t talk about Satan.

    04:31 We leave him alone. He leaves us alone where he is. In the scripture he says he will leave you alone.

    04:36 In fact, the scripture says he walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, swallow. He prowls around. He is not going to leave us alone.

    04:36 In fact, the greatest deception is one of the greatest deceptions. You leave him alone, he will leave you alone. He is in hibernation.

    04:53 He has taken a long sabbatical. He is resting somewhere. He doesn’t bother Christians.

    04:58 He only captures the other people and keep them captives and torturing them. Spirit of unforgiveness. What is that? It’s a demon.

    05:08 Because I know people, when they come to be ministered, I know it happened to me, I couldn’t forgive. But I also know the law of God says, if you do not forgive, my Father God will not forgive you. Father, God will not forgive you.

    05:20 And Jesus said this, Jesus Christ. But I couldn’t forgive. Then finally I’m standing there.

    05:26 Those of you who have not in some segment I’ve written this, talked about, he said, I’m standing there and the pastor said, say I forgive so and so and so those people harm me so much. And I said, no, I cannot say because I’ve not forgiven them. No,
    you Must say.

    05:40 I say I don’t want to lie anymore because Jesus is the truth. And I don’t know, I’m afraid to tell these things not true to Jesus anymore. Then he said, brother, I don’t know about you, you better pray directly.

    05:52 So I’m standing there, I’m not following the prayer. He’s telling me to pray. But then I felt it, sensed it in my spirit.

    06:00 Tell the truth, Jesus. The Christ is the truth. So I told Lord Jesus, I know if I don’t forgive, you cannot forgive me.

    06:09 But I want to forgive because I want you. I need you. I need you.

    06:12 I need your help. I’m dying, brothers and sisters, that I’m dying, dying. Everything dead.

    06:16 Business date, everything date, family date, all date. So I need finally went to go more once everywhere. If you go read the story in the graceoflife.com you’ll know he’ll finish.

    06:27 But then I don’t know what to do. I don’t tell lies anymore. So I said, lord Jesus, I’m willing to forgive.

    06:35 I want to forgive. I want to forgive. Not.

    06:38 I didn’t say I willing. I want to forgive. Please help me.

    06:41 Soon enough, my body all started shaking and this and that, and it settled and the thing left. Because then only I realized later, it’s a spirit of unforgiveness has caught me. And so millions are caught by the spirit of unforgiveness.

    06:54 Therefore, in church, when I hear some people, I’m not talking about my congregation, the congregation I minister, this Jesus congregation. I’m not talking about the churches I minister. I’m talking about churches.

    07:05 People I see outside, they come with trouble or whatever. They finally come. Then I tell them, look, forgive.

    07:10 No, I’m okay. They did so much trouble. So much give me so much trouble.

    07:15 I can’t forgive them. Hey, brother, Father God won’t forgive you. No, no, he forgive me.

    07:19 I’m a Christian. Then I have to put them right and show them scripture and all that. And then I say, look, brother and sister, you are captive.

    07:26 You need to overcome. You need to use the blood of Jesus, name of Jesus. And we do the breath of God.

    07:31 And they’re set free and they feel released. And if you don’t forgive, arthritis, pain and all these other things, bitterness dies out the boat. So the greatest deception, now he is not there, right? So we can go about doing our thing.

    07:45 God says, if you love the world and the things of the world, you do not have love of Father God in you. Now, what about that scripture? Oh, many do not look at that or are taught or not taught that because they look at that, they say, no, no, that
    means they think because they don’t understand. So they think how? I mean the world, how to not.

    08:05 I like a car, I love a car. But things in the world, you can like a car, but don’t put your love in the car. Put your love to Jesus Christ.

    08:14 Love your people, love your neighbors, love your husband or wife, love each other, love your children, love everything. Love. Things in the world are what? Use the thing.

    08:21 Use the thing. That’s why Jesus told the disciples, you’re still in the world, but you’re not of this world. There’s another scripture, you know, 20, 30 years later when the books are written.

    08:37 The Apostle Paul said he sent people to Satan because they’re doing some ridiculous things and they’re not listening. He sent them to Satan and then later one of them was brought back because he repented and all he talked. Can you mean Apostle Paul?
    The apostles are telling people Satan said this? 20, 30, 40, 30 years later the books are written.

    09:00 I don’t know when this incident happened after Christ sending Satan. So why is he sending Satan? Because they are actually acting as demons, doing things that are so terrible. Jesus says, do not give the devil a foothold.

    09:19 Do not give a devil a foothold. And the Bible says, look at the things unseen. For the things that are seen are made from material unseen.

    09:32 God is spirit. Now God is spirit. We have to look in the spirit world.

    09:32 God is spirit. Worship me in spirit. And in truth he says God is spirit.

    09:41 You know, he is not a spirit, he is spirit. And his spirit is all over, encompassing everything. So Satan has fooled people by believing this.

    09:51 And there are a lot of pastors and a lot of priests and lot of do not want to deal with this. And that is why people are continually sinning because they don’t know how to come out. You have to cast out evil spirits.

    10:02 Otherwise how to get out of the captivity. So I beg you, brothers and sisters, go to mark 16:17 and start doing this first. And you must be a doer of the word, you’re a hearer and go off.

    10:14 In the book of James, it says it’s like a person looking at a mirror, looking at their face, knowing it turn away and forget how it looks like. So you have to cast out, cast out what not. And then the other deceptions they can have done that.

    10:28 You know, casting out means big time delivery, deliverance, you know, there’s only certain selected people, special people must cast out all life. You Cast out from the evil spirits that are attacking you. Because you have been set free as a
    captive.

    10:41 The husband of your soul who is inside you, wants you to do this, wants you to be without blemish. Do not. And then only you can see the truth.

    10:48 Whenever I read the scripture, cast out the spirit of blindness. Evil spirit of blindness. Spiritual blindness.

    10:54 Get out of me. In the name of Jesus Christ. He said offer non occurrence and bowl and power.

    11:01 For what does Satan do years ago when you cast out in the name of Jesus Christ? But after he goes, he’s not going to go and sleep. He’s not going to go and hibernate because he makes you believe that he doesn’t exist. So he’ll come quietly and
    begin.

    11:14 He’s walking, prowling, stealthily walking how to devour you. Why should that happen? Because the Holy Spirit will convict you if you truly read the scriptures. If you just going to listen to people, including me and just go.

    11:29 You must work out your own salvation. Fear and trembling. So things of the things seen are made from material unseen.

    11:40 If you love the world and things of the world, you do not have the love of Father God in you. You are in the world, but not of this world. You will take up your soldiers of Christ.

    11:54 Our battle is not flesh and blood. That’s another scripture. In Ephesians our battle is not flesh and blood, but weapons of warfare that are spiritual.

    12:02 Against what? Against principalities and wicked hosts in high places. All this spirit, spirit matter but reverence duked. And then we continue doing worldly customs.

    12:15 Start doing what he told us to do first and when he told us to do. O I will witness. I will witness people.

    12:23 Raphael. I am there. Brothers and sisters.

    12:25 First do what he told us to do. Work out your own salvation. In fear and trembling.

    12:29 Set in the captive freak. Setting yourself in the name of Jesus Christ. No more getting trapped.

    12:33 No more getting trapped with the devil’s ways and all. And then your spiritual eyes, when they open, you will have peace. You begin to see things that you couldn’t understand before.

    12:41 You begin to see. Connect the dots. Oh, this is how this works.

    12:49 This is how. That’s why whenever there’s one on statue of drinking milk, I put. You see, there are spiritual methods.

    12:57 You will straight away understand how it’s working. Why your spiritual eyes will open, but they’ll only open. And you begin to cast out the evil spirits that are holding you.

    13:07 Bondage. Oh, I’m not held in bondage. That’s a deception.

    13:11 This is a matrix. That’s a film Long ago, you know, matrix, living in a matrix. You think that’s all there is to it.

    13:17 That’s a great deception of Satan. So everywhere they have religious activities, they left mass, they left service, they left charismatic thing and all. All going on jumping joy, Oo ha, ooha.

    13:29 All going on, but just individually taking the sword of the spirit, the word of God. The sword of the spirit is the word of God. That’s why they say put on the whole the helmet, the salvation, the armor of God.

    13:44 Efficient armor of God, Armor of God, helmet of salvation. But one is the sword of the spirit. Belt your ways with the truth.

    13:51 Why belt your waist? It’s from the productive area of your body. Belt it with the truth. You must only deal with the truth.

    13:57 You must deal with, speak the truth. Because from there only the production comes. That’s why the reproduce organs are there.

    14:05 God is telling you. Be of truth. Anyone.

    14:08 Continue to sin, practice sin. Sin, sin, sin, sin. It’s not born of God, born of the devil.

    14:13 You won’t see all that because the deception has taken place. So you have to see this. You have to go get today’s email, go to some of the scriptures, even whatever talk, check this.

    14:26 Because it is your life. You are not only eternal life, you are even a current life here on earth. You must begin to understand that you are made of three parts.

    14:34 You are a spirit being. You are in a body. You have heart and mind, which is wicked and has to be transformed, has to be renewed in the spirit.

    14:41 God said be renewed in the spirit of your mind. What he is saying, why is he saying in the spirit of your mind? Because in the spirit world you are starting off. You are a spirit being belonging to the spirit.

    14:52 God is a spirit, we belong to his spirit. Because the Spirit has given you life, your spirit now connected to his spirit. But if you play dumb, the devil has got you already.

    15:03 Because he knows he moves you. And when he comes and attacks you that time or your family over, you won’t know what to do. You’ll be confused, baffled.

    15:11 You will be puzzled, you’ll be despaired. Because you know, you bird planks, the Bible says you’ll be perplexed. You don’t know what is happening completely.

    15:21 God, why you cannot see the spiritual world. When you cannot see the spiritual world, then what happens? You begin to read scripture misunderstandingly because you never bothered to take and check yourself. You’re just going for some custom and some
    tradition and you’re going about it your way.

    15:38 Every Sunday or Saturday or whatever days you go to church and come back, sing and worship. You feel good. For instance, take one.

    15:47 I talked about going to Israel and all. If you can afford to go, go, brothers and sisters. But as I said, always remember before spending money.

    15:53 God’s money given to you. See whether he wants you to do something else or not. Like that day feeding the poor and the blind and the sick or whatever you give them.

    16:02 And if you still let to go, you go. But God tells us that the angels are there. Think why you come and looking at this grave.

    16:09 There’s nothing there. He has risen. He’s not here.

    16:12 But then why do people feel good? Because your mind has picked up this belief. This is where he was and all. So you feel good.

    16:20 It’s your own body giving the signal. Feeling good. Brothers and sisters, let’s walk in the truth.

    16:26 I’m the way, the truth and life. The devil is the father of all lies. He’s a liar from the beginning.

    16:33 God says he is a spirit world and that Satan do not love. Satan deceive you and keep you deceived. If you are in any church doesn’t want to cast out evil spirit.

    16:42 Run away, brother. For your own sake, you start helping them. You are helping.

    16:47 Oh, I will stay there and change. You change first. To change that first you have to run out and follow Christ properly.

    16:53 In Jesus name I pray. I beg you, brothers and sisters, read the scriptures. Amen.

    God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character]
    remains [permanently] in him [who is born again—who is reborn from above—
    spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he
    [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin,
    because he is born of God and longs to please Him

    2 Corinthians 11:13-15 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

    13 For such boasters are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
    14 And no wonder! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
    15 So it is not strange if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness.
    Their end will match their deeds.

    00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 11 December titled Sun Tzu and Satan. Sun Tzu and Satan, brothers and sisters. Yesterday I was shocked.

    00:14 After the recording, I started hearing myself. The last couple of minutes went like a bullet train in Japan, brothers and sisters. You know, it starts off slow in Japan as the train moves.

    00:26 And the bullet train, the fast, really fast train. I have not been in the bullet train in China, but long ago I’ve been there. The apartment hall was quite close to the track.

    00:38 Of course it looks very close. Actually it’s safe distance. Children will be playing the balcony and all.

    00:44 When the train starts off, you can see one balcony, another balcony, children here, children there, clothes tagging, whatever people. Soon enough it’s just one blur, gray, whitish blur. Because it’s so fast.

    00:58 I’m sorry, brothers and sisters, in the eagerness to finish off that thing in that time, because if not, it won’t load into the WhatsApp. WhatsApp only allows certain amount of bytes, that amount of content to go into any point in time in one lock,
    in one block, you know, Praise Jesus Christ. I pray you people are still listening to this and getting the message.

    01:20 But basically what he’s saying there is. Jesus said, look, when you give a feast, give to people who cannot pay you back. And I also saw clearly that I am not fully settled in this, in this activity.

    01:36 I have failed in many occasions in this particular scripture. I will try and make sure that I perform this more and more. And I also said, you cannot bring people out now for the.

    01:46 When groups of people come large, crumble into your house because your children are there and all. And now it’s dangerous. There are crooks and rapists and what have you out there.

    01:55 But we can still perform by taking the money we spent on unnecessary things, including the Christmas tree and all that and giving to these people who need it. Who need it. Yesterday I told you all billions of ringgit are spent every year on
    Christmas trees.

    02:11 And you know how many Christmas trees? Then there are decorations on the Christmas trees. The decoration of Christmas trees will cost maybe two, three times more than the tree itself. So if I calculated yesterday, about 20 billion ringgit worth,
    both natural trees and false trees that are plastic trees.

    02:28 You can talk about 60, 20, 40, 60 billion ringgit spent every year in this kind of activities. And people are still dying in the cold, the winter’s day, without even a proper jacket. There are people, homeless people.

    02:42 There are also people in the poorer countries like in India, even in cold of Delhi, cold of the north, Kashmir and all that. And in Pakistan people are dying with cold. India, Pakistan in some, many even in China.

    02:55 I believe there will be some places which I do not know. I just believing that the same thing will happen. People are suffering.

    03:02 So we can take our monies and be wise, prudent because the money was given to us by Jesus Christ of Nazareth. For a believer, all things belong to Jesus Christ. If you ask him, you say give to the this and that, to the right people.

    03:16 Give to people, he’s saying, who cannot repay us so that we are blessed. Now brothers and sisters, think about this thing, think about these things. Don’t get caught in the world now today the title Sun Tzu and Satan.

    03:29 Sun Tzu was one of the greatest generals of China. Those of you who are not aware, Sun Tzu was one of the greatest generals of China. He was a strategist, a tactician.

    03:39 He was also a philosopher and he had written a lot of saints. He lived for 500 years before Christ. And then according to Vicky, he lived for 48 years, I think.

    03:50 So he must have what God Jesus Christ said is true. Those who live by the sword will die, but this sword must have been killed. I believe.

    03:57 I do not know the full history, but I’ve read Sanzi a long, long, long, long, long time ago. And we applied also in business and all that. But I used to apply the Sanzi.

    04:06 Can you imagine those days before born again. I applied Sanzi but never applied Jesus Christ. That’s what I was, never applied Jesus Christ words, Sanzu.

    04:15 Yes, I’ll take and apply. Can you imagine? And twist it from my own hands. Wicked.

    04:20 Now Sansa and Satan. You see Sansa, one of the sayings he will tell you is one of the greatest victories is victories. And void is victory that comes without a battle, without fighting.

    04:34 And one of the basics of warfare is he says is is deception. Use deception. So Sansu, you can go and check on the Internet, you say words and all that.

    04:46 But you must understand after a while that people are adding what Sansu said and will make Sansu more than what he said. That’s what happens nowadays. And so we may think some of the things that San Tzu has said and some of the things that Sansu is
    supposed to have said.

    05:00 Maybe he just said by others. The one other thing suppose to have said is that the greatest victory is won where the vanquished, where the person, the people who are defeated, the vanquished actually think they are the victors actually think they
    got a victory. That means the defeated think they are the victors.

    05:22 That one of in fact the greatest victory ever you can have because the defeated think they are the victors. Can you imagine what a great victory will that be? Because they’re going about their business thinking, I’m victory, I’m victor, I’m the. I
    win already.

    05:36 I win already. I’m the greatest and all that. And then when I’m thinking of this, because I was talking to another pastor the other day discussing sons actually over lunch, and then struck me, I said, hey, sons and Satan.

    05:51 Sons and Satan. What Satan has done to the church now, for instance, 2 Corinthians 4, 4amplified, 2nd Corinthians 4, 4amplified, says among them, the God of this world, Satan, has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the
    illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, the God of the world is Satan and blinded the minds of the unbelieving. Unbelieving is not just unbelieving in Jesus Christ.

    06:21 If you truly believe in Jesus Christ, you will change. There are people who just say, jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah.

    06:26 He is son of God and all that. And unbelieving to the words of Christ, the illuminating light of the Gospel, unbelieving in the details of the gospel, unbelieving in what he has said. When he said, give what you have, when you give a feast, give to
    the people who cannot repay the blind, the poor, the needy, and all that the lame, the sick give them, you know, and we won’t do that, but we’ll go buy Christmas trees and we’ll Easter.

    06:51 We’ll make some eggs and some cakes, Easter buns and Easter cake. We can do all kinds of things. I’ve done this before, so I am also telling you, look, look, look.

    07:00 Let’s wise up. Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now in 1st Peter 5, 8, earlier amplified.

    07:07 Now reading from 1 Peter 5, 8 on Catholic edition. Discipline yourselves. Keep alert.

    07:13 Like a roaring lion, your adversary, the devil, prowls around looking for someone to devour, to follow your adversary the devil prowse around, prowse walking steadily, stealthily. Stop. Stealthily, secretly, softly, looking for someone to swallow.

    07:33 Now these Scriptures, 2nd Corinthians 11, 13, 15. For such boasters are false apostles. People say, I am apostle and this and that.

    07:43 Deceitful workers disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So just because angels appear, don’t fall into this trap.

    07:57 It could be Satan and these demons, even Satan Disguises as an angel of light so they can come and say, I am an apostle. This, do this, do that. Let’s follow something.

    08:08 Check in the scriptures, check in the words of God what they are saying. So it is not strange. Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

    08:12 So it is not strange. If his ministers also disguise themselves as as ministers of righteousness, it’s not strange. His ministers, Satan’s ministers, also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness.

    08:31 The end will meet their deeds now. One Scripture because there are time limitations. First, there are many scriptures that show that how we have gone by.

    08:42 People worship me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. There are so many scriptures that what God is saying of a group of people and can easily happen to one of us or all of us because we simply do things as our way. If we do not check
    scriptures, if we do not examine ourselves, examine ourselves against the word of God.

    09:00 And if you’re not sure, let somebody else examine you. The Scripture says. The Bible says, let your neighbor examine you.

    09:06 Because when we examine ourselves, we’ll only think good things. We will not think of the wrong things that we are doing because our mind is blocked or deceived by the devil already. Because our mind has been blinded from believing the illuminating
    light of the gospel.

    09:19 That particular scripture is being blinded from us now. First John 3, 7:9. Little children, believers, dear one, do not let anyone lead you astray.

    09:31 Do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness, that is, the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life in private as well as public, and to conform to God’s precepts, is righteous, just as he, Jesus Christ, is
    righteous. Now let me read that again.

    09:50 Please amplify. Little children, believers, dear ones, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness.

    09:59 If you are practicing righteousness, not just righteousness, once or twice practicing righteousness, who is practicing righteousness? In bracket it says, the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life in private as well as in public, and
    to conform to God’s precepts. God’s precepts is righteous just as Jesus Christ is righteous. 8.

    10:24 The one who practices sin, doing sin all the time, on and on, is separating himself from God and offending him by acts of disobedience, in indifference to the word of God or rebellion, is of the devil and takes its inner character and moral values
    from him. Not God takes the inner character, moral values from Satan, who’s the ruler of the world. He’s the God of the world.

    10:51 Now, if you’re following the world and one thinks of the world, then you’re following the God of this world. This scripture is right. But if you cannot accept your heart, can’t accept it right now.

    11:00 You must understand the devil, the ruler of the world, the God of the world has blinded you from this scripture. You may believe Jesus Christ. There are certain areas in our heart, some of it want its own way.

    11:11 Certain areas of our life, we want our own way. And that wanting so deeply in that area of our own way will blind you from reading the scripture truly. So that you can be set free.

    11:25 To be set free. When you see the scripture. Compare and see whether I am doing this rubbish or am I living like the one that God is telling me to live.

    11:34 Now here he is saying, if you are practicing sin again, again, angry, angry, cursing, people shouting bad words, bad words, bad words. Other areas you might have changed. But in this area you are offending God.

    11:49 Separating yourself, acts of disobedience, indifference or rebellion. He says, this is, and this is of the devil. If a practicing sin.

    11:58 He says, you are of the devil. This issue is from the devil. You are of the devil.

    12:02 And takes his inner character and moral values from him, not God. He says, if we do this, if we do this, we are taking the inner character and moral values from the devil, not God. For the devil has sinned and violated God’s law from the beginning.

    12:14 God’s law from the beginning, the Son of God appeared for this purpose to destroy the works of the devil. Now remember what God said. The Son of God appeared for this purpose to destroy the works of the devil.

    12:29 He has not destroyed the devil yet. That will happen in the book of Revelation. When Jesus comes back, he will send one angel to catch Satan and throw him into the lake of fire.

    12:31 That will happen in the future. But until now, the devil has not been destroyed. But Jesus as the Son of God has destroyed the works of the devil.

    12:50 He has destroyed it. No one who is born of God deliberately, knowingly, habitually practices sin. That’s nine.

    12:59 That is First John, First John three, nine. And God sin. Now.

    13:03 These books are all written 30, 40 years. 20, 30 years or so after Christ. So near there.

    13:10 And some of the other practices we are doing, they came into being three, 400 years after Christ. Some even thousand years after Christ. Some practices script inside here.

    13:19 So praise Jesus Christ. Nazareth brothers and sisters, go back to the scriptures which are the ones God is talking about. 9.

    13:27 No one who is born of God deliberately, knowingly, habitually practices Sin because God’s seed, his principles of life, the essence of his righteous character, remains permanently in him who is born again, who is reborn from the birth, spiritually
    transformed, renewed and set apart for his purpose. And he who is born again cannot habitually live a life characterized by sin because he is born of God and longs to please him. Brothers and sisters, we have to change.

    13:55 Now let’s look at this how Sansa the Satan has done. Sans has taken some logic from Satan. I am here because you see deception.

    14:03 He said so when God says do not cut a tree, I am talking to you. In Jeremiah he says, I am telling you, do not cut a tree and nail it and decorate the children. I will do right.

    14:15 This is how I was taught. But this is how. Then you have got a problem because you cannot see the truth.

    14:22 Now. When I came to become a believer of Jesus Christ completely, remember I said when God said this is black wall, I said black even though my eyes are being white now. Brothers and sisters, I see people in the church at the time.

    14:37 So see, over the last 20 years there are people in the church who are worse than the people outside. Worse. And I used to wonder what’s going on.

    14:46 Of course later in life I knew those who are practicing sin actually are not born of the Spirit. They’re not born again. They don’t believe in Christ and his precepts.

    14:52 They don’t believe in Christ, they just say I believe in God. They came for some benefit because of suffering. Some money matters, some loan or some money suffering along.

    15:03 What is it called debt collectors coming or whatever problem or sickness or illness, they come and they want that benefit. But they didn’t come for the blesser. They.

    15:12 They came for the blessing and then they didn’t forgive. I was seeing that time and still seeing many in churches in so called born again churches are not even forgiving people. And the answer will be no.

    15:26 This does this I cannot forgive. But you are not a Christian. That no, I am a Christian.

    15:31 I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe in Jesus Christ. Why can I forgive this nonsense they are doing too.

    15:36 They need to be. I cannot. People who come for prayers, arthritis and all that.

    15:41 Now we know there are segments I have given you or there are signs. The Christian medical science people have drawn conclusions and statistics that 80 or 85% of all diseases come the spiritual root sickness, one of which God says, you know,
    bitterness will dry off your bones, arthritis, unforgiveness. So they keep on holding to theirselves the way they want it.

    16:03 Love of the world. God says is enmity with God so do not love the world or the things in the world or things of the world the way the world operates now the churches there are some people say who got the greatest biggest Christmas tree that church
    has got a smaller one so what are the people doing in the churches they’re comparing these things because they do not know Christ and his precepts so therefore transient Satan says the greatest victory is when the defeated thinks is still his winner
    so when the Christian thinks he’s a Christian when he’s not a Christian that the greatest victory when a person thinks he’s a Christian and doing all kinds of worldly things and going not forgiving and not doing the work Jesus wants us to do holding
    on to the world system there are supermarkets will say who got the biggest present tree challenges and all that’s coming out of the churches so brothers and sisters today the greatest victory let us be actually through Christians fear God in Jesus
    Christ’s name I pray amen.

    00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 10 December 2015 Fear false customs and self discipline. Fear false customs and self discipline. Yesterday, brothers and sisters, this word came out rebuke.

    00:19 Actually there’s no such word I picked up because I’ve been ministering to all kinds of people and some abusing this and some are sitting in my spirit deep there and it came out in my mind and maybe between a rebuke and a correction becomes a rebuke
    and I think so I observed later and check and see what this. And there is a word rebuke and it doesn’t mean what we are trying to say. It’s some kind of prayer or something.

    00:43 Praise Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters. Now that is why very simple, I remind myself, if I think I know something, I do not know anything as yet. I as I ought to know that’s God’s word.

    00:56 And I have to follow this for myself. I’ve been doing this from the time I came to know this Word of God. I remind myself again and again if I think I’m something, when I’m nothing, I deceive myself.

    01:07 So brothers and sisters do not follow man, including me, when I show scriptures and all that. You go to God, you go to Jesus Christ, you ask him, the Holy Spirit, teacher of all things, teach you. But sometimes you have to be careful also because
    your mind may be speaking to you, your heart may be speaking to you, your flesh desires may be speaking to you.

    01:28 And the world would have put all this in you and you begin to believe God spoke to you. Don’t you have to. It must match with the Word of God.

    01:35 If it doesn’t match with the Word of God, God is certainly not speaking to you on that one. According to what you are believing, you have to listen to the Word of God. Now if you cannot, if you are unable to follow the Word of God, return and you
    are trying to say, and somebody says they interpret it this way and that way they are interpreting the Word of God.

    01:52 I have a rule for myself and I’ve taught this to others for more than decades now that take the harder route because the road is narrow. Jesus says the road is narrow. So therefore take the harder route.

    02:10 Harder route means that harder to the flesh, whatever is harder to the flesh, that is the better route. That is a better safe way. Take the harder route.

    02:18 Anything the flesh. And then people are telling you things, logic, you know, they’re using big swelling words. As I said, Bible says bombastic words.

    02:26 They’ll Tell you this way, that way, and nothing but. You take the simplicity of the gospel, read it as it is. You settle in your spirit.

    02:33 And then if you confuse, take the harder route to the flesh, harder thing that the flesh doesn’t want, take that route. God will bless you. Even when you are wrong, God will bless you.

    02:43 Why? Your intention is to do the right thing, to pick up your cross, to pick up your cross and walk daily. He will bless you because he said, my child. Is my child believing that I said this to her or they said this to him.

    02:57 I will settle because my child obeying me, thinking I have said this, and he will intervene and settle it for you. I have experienced this love and the goodness and the mercy of Jesus Christ. Whenever I am doing things, believing that what God told,
    and I begin to believe, truly believe, and I’m taking the harder route, I’m taking the difficult route in the interpretation.

    03:20 I’ve been always blessed. It never let me down. And I’m sure there are many in the congregation who also enjoyed this privilege of taking the harder route.

    03:31 And Jesus sees them through. Take the harder route, take the narrow road. Brothers and sisters, there are few scriptures that we have to concentrate on today.

    03:39 Yesterday we talked about not everything is beneficial. Today we are talking, reminding ourselves on this thing on second Timothy 1:7. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear.

    03:50 This is not amplified. He did not give us a spirit of fear. Spirit of fear.

    03:54 Fear is from the devil. Spirit of fear is an evil spirit. He did not give us a spirit of fear, timidity or cowardice.

    04:00 But he has given us a spirit of power. Spirit of power, of love. Spirit of love and spirit of sound mind.

    04:08 Spirit of sound judgment. Oh, spirit of sound mind and personal discipline. Personal discipline.

    04:16 Self control is given us a spirit of self control, Personal discipline or self discipline. Now, brothers and sisters, this is an important thing to follow. He’s given us this already.

    04:26 Now, whether we apply or not, then it’s our choice whether we want to follow Jesus Christ this way or not. And always our heart wouldn’t want to do this. Now, many times, this false custom, somehow we follow because of fear.

    04:37 What people will say, what my neighbor will say, what my brother will say, what my sister will say, what my mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife, all kinds, my son, all kinds of things. Just fear, you know, Let me tell you. Oh no, I don’t
    fear pastor, actually.

    04:54 But they will get upset. I don’t want to upset them. I want to love all just fear.

    04:59 Brother and sister, you better first please Jesus Christ. What Jesus Christ will say what Jesus Christ has already said, what Jesus Christ has already written it down for you and me. You be willing to follow that first.

    05:14 So don’t think of all the other people first. Think of the husband of your soul, the one who will finally judge you, the one who’s supposed to save you. Because in the one who suffered for you, to save you, the one you’re going to meet absent from
    the body, to be present with the Lord.

    05:28 That one. The one that I am, that I am. That one.

    05:32 The Alpha and the Omega, the ancient of days, that one. The name is Jesus Christ. You better think about what he will.

    05:41 Are you pleasing him now? Then anything and others are saying, you’re considering that when it’s opposite to what he has said, then your fear of man, that’s called fear of man. You say no fear, but actually fear of man. You don’t have fear of God.

    05:54 You do not love Jesus Christ. You are actually more concerned with what these people say. But they are human beings.

    06:00 You love them, but they are confused. I was confused. Yeah.

    06:05 I can love human beings in the way I write, but I must love human beings according to God’s command. Love your neighbor as yourself, willing to give your life for one another as disciples. As he has loved us, he gave his life for us.

    06:17 Let’s love like that now, brothers and sisters. So do not get confused or do not. Jesus said, do not deceive yourself yesterday.

    06:26 Scripture says, now, do not deceive yourself. Because he has washed us clean. He doesn’t want any blemish in us, doesn’t want a spot in us.

    06:33 He has washed us clean with his own blood. And then if we go continue practicing those things, he says, you are born of the devil. You’re really not born of God.

    06:40 Because you’re born of God, you stop practicing. You may fall into such sin because of sudden blow, sudden temptation, sudden weakness. But immediately there will be a conviction.

    06:50 Immediately there’s a conviction. You’ll be shaken up by the Holy Spirit. You say, sorry Lord.

    06:54 Sorry Lord. And then you begin to rectify, restitute, settle things. But if you are practicing like Tatida apa, that means no care in the world, no care in the world, don’t care.

    06:54 And then you go about your life without considering what he has written down. Then you have to ask yourself, are you a false, counterfeit Christian? Brothers and sisters, don’t. That’s why when we follow customs and we are unable to break free, you
    have to Use the power of Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus Christ.

    07:23 You have to start using in the name of Jesus, commanding your heart and mind to break free from all this. Now brothers, this is. There’s another scripture that says, you know, a little leaven, a little yeast, a little yeast will leaven the whole
    dough.

    07:36 That means little falsehood will finally make everything fall suitable. And you won’t know because in creep into us, the world will creep into it. That’s why.

    07:45 Oh this Pastor Chrissy Lutz, he very fancy. He said this one, no blemish. Go for pure, holy.

    07:52 That’s his word. That’s his word. And we don’t do it by our strength.

    07:57 We do it by the power of Jesus Christ. I’m not telling, I want you to do now get everything right here. Brothers, I’m not forcing anyone here to do anything.

    08:06 I’m not telling you you must do. I’m just reading the scriptures and showing you and reasoning with you from the scriptures. Now you have to decide in the spirit.

    08:15 You have to decide because finally each of us have to answer directly to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now if I don’t teach you this, I will of course have to answer this to Jesus Christ of Nazareth saying, son, I showed you all this. To whom much is
    given, much more is expected.

    08:31 He says so he expects a lot from me because much has been given to me. And to whom much is forgiven, he loves much. Meaning I’ve been forgiven much.

    08:42 You all know all kinds of sinners. Go and read my story in graceoflife.com you know how much sinning I was doing. I was a great sinner and he has forgiven me all that.

    08:50 Who he has forgiven much, loves much. He says that means I end up without me realizing, I end up loving more. It’s not by my will because I want to love, it just happens.

    09:02 Because his law is coming to work, his word is coming to bear fruit. He has forgiven much and automatically he makes me love much. He has given me much, he expects me much more.

    09:16 Whom he has given much, much more is expected out of him. So I have to do this. Now you please use yourself, use your God given sound mind, self discipline and go for sin.

    09:28 For Jesus Christ. I sometimes use the example, take a long Olympic sized swimming pool. You take Olympic sized swimming pool and somebody takes a tablespoon or teaspoon of human waste, human waste, human dung, and throws it at one end of the pool,
    in the shallow end, you are at the deepest end.

    09:44 There you will jump out. Once you knew that this rubbish has gone inside here. The waste has gone inside you.

    09:49 You will jump out there. You won’t drink the water there. Although it’s a long sight, it takes a long while for it to diffuse and come there and now slowly, but you will not.

    09:56 And for God, trying to imagine, we’re trying to imagine in my miniscule mind that sins like that, for God, it’s abomination. Why after he has given his son to die for us, we still do this? Cannot, brother. Cannot, cannot.

    10:09 Now I’m going to read a scripture from Jeremiah 10:1 4. Before that, you see here, my father was in the. Was in World War II.

    10:19 He was about 20 years old. He was working here and the Japanese came and all that. Now after he tells us the World War II story.

    10:26 Yes, and I hear from other of his friends who are there also. Now, after a while, his generation passes away and I will take and tell the story to my children or whatever. And in fact I forget now.

    10:36 There’s only. We are only something like 75 years or 70 years away from World War II. And we already got all kinds of mixture or rubbish coming in.

    10:46 Knowledge is missing all that, unless they refer to some history books. But history books also has been polluted and changed according to the victor. The victor, the winners, they say, will write their own history books.

    10:59 So we do not know whether this whole thing is true or not. But generally we know there was atrocities and all that going on and then how they suffered. War means suffering, suffering.

    11:09 We don’t want any war. But war will come because Jesus said there will be war and rumors of wars and so. But he will see us through.

    11:15 Okay, so let’s not get frightened with the wars. If it’s going to happen, you and I can’t stop it. We only go to Jesus Christ to see us through, brothers and sisters.

    11:23 That is why when Jesus was walking on the earth, it’s only a few hundred years later when Constantine came into the picture. He started introducing so many other things after that and began a lot of worldly things entered there. But it’s 3, 400
    years, 330 years or something.

    11:41 Constantine came after Christ. You’re talking about 300 years, 70 years from the World War II. We can’t remember now.

    11:48 300 odd years. You think people will remember? They will just continue doing what people are telling them. So the truth is where it was written earlier, nearest to the resurrection, nearest to when Jesus, that’s the apostles, the disciples are
    written there and then there are.

    12:04 And some of the books occur thousand, two thousand three Thousand years before Christ was written. So we rather look at those books than human customs. Human customs are falsehood.

    12:15 Now what he says in Jeremiah 10:1 4. Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you. I’m reading the Catholic version.

    12:16 Jeremiah 10:1 4. Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you. That means to me.

    12:26 Thus says the Lord, do not learn the way of the nations. That means, do not learn the way of the unbelievers. Or be dismayed at the signs of the heavens.

    12:36 For the nations are dismayed at them. That is awe. Or be dismayed.

    12:40 Today we’re not discussing the dismay in the sight of the heavens. I mean the blood moon, this and that. We are not talking about that.

    12:47 Do not learn the way of the nation. Do not follow them. Do not learn them.

    12:50 3. For the customs of the peoples are false, are false, are false. A little falsehood in us finally will change our whole life.

    13:00 We’ll end up doing false things and other things and we don’t even realize. That’s why when I came to the Lord, I said, walls, black object, etc. For the castles of the peoples are false.

    13:11 A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of an artisan. People deck it with silver and gold. They fasten it with hammer and nails and so that it cannot move.

    13:22 He said, do not follow this. They are false. Now at the same time, another further scripture says, it’s like a scarecrow.

    13:29 The tree is like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch. We cannot talk at this and that. Then when I read this, my son, that time was five years or six years old.

    13:36 I went to him and other children, the elder children, the elder two girls. Very happy that I’ve changed, you know. That’s all.

    13:42 They are so grateful. The third son and the fourth that a bit younger. This, this last fellow was six boy.

    13:49 And I told him, son, Papa was doing all kinds wrong before. I don’t have any more faults in our lives anymore. Anything false, I don’t want to touch.

    13:58 We just want to go to the truth. Are you willing to give up his peace and all that? He was willing to. So I went with Chak, huh, Chak now in Jesus Christ.

    14:07 Thank Jesus, there was nothing I said. Everybody forgot about it. Now brother and sisters here, so you will say, oh, this fella now become religious.

    14:13 He want me to use rich. Want me to cut the tree. No, no, no.

    14:16 Now remember this. It’s a big, huh? Almost 1 billion US dollar worth. 4 billion ringgit worth of actual natural Trees are cut down in the US for this purpose about another 500 million.

    14:30 That means US$2 billion worth in Europe and all. It’s all over. You’re talking about four and two, six, about seven, eight billion US dollars worth of trees.

    14:40 Actual trees are cut down and used for this. They will again grow and use and grow and use over India, you know, big time business. Six billion.

    14:48 And then they have ringgit. Ringgit. Six billion.

    14:50 Seven billion. Ringgit. Six, seven.

    14:53 Yeah, seven, eight billion, maybe even eight billion. Then false trees made of plastic made from the petroleum. You know, that’s another, I think two or three times more all over the world.

    15:02 So you’re talking about another 2.5, 3.5 or 4? 4.

    15:06 4 times 4, 16. You’re talking about 20 over billion. Ringgit of money is spent every year.

    15:13 Now the green trees, green trees, fellas. No, save the trees, save the trees. They’ll come this side of Malaysia and say don’t cut the trees.

    15:19 And all your stories. Here they allow themselves to cut 6, $7 billion worth of trees are grown and cut every year. If they didn’t cut it the last 10, 20 years, can you imagine how green the place will be? But no, nobody is stopping there.

    15:33 Why the green fellows are not bothered about this? Because it’s from Satan, it’s from the world, it’s a way of the world. And God is saying don’t follow this now. And it’s foolish.

    15:42 And why do we cut a tree and do this? And he said, silver and gold, that’s Christmas tree. But even that time people don’t listen. Now brothers and sisters.

    15:50 And then maybe this one game for children. We put present under there. The children go and kneel down there to collect their presents, right? Maybe it’s a way for our children to be getting accustomed to kneeling in front of a tree.

    16:02 I do not know brothers and sisters. That is why I don’t want any falsehood. Now you have to design for yourself.

    16:07 Now brothers and sisters, there’s another scripture, because time running out. But he says, you know, one scripture says, Luke 14, 13, 14. I too have failed many times on this.

    16:17 So I’m not putting myself in a pedestal. Luke 14, 13, 14. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you’ll be blessed because they cannot repay you.

    16:28 And you shall be repaid as the resurrection of just. Brothers and sisters, if we take these monies that you are putting on this thing, if you take this money and just of course you can’t bring people to the house, to the feast nowadays. Because
    crooks will come along, thieves will come along.

    16:44 Give it somewhere. Help the poor, help the blind. Help this.

    16:47 Wouldn’t you think we’re more blessed? And your children grow in that kind of form? Give. Luke 14. Give.

    16:54 But we do decrease. Brothers and sisters, you decide. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, amen.

    AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors

    00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 9 December 2015 titled Not All Things are beneficial. Not all things are beneficial. Not all things will benefit Brothers and sisters today.

    00:17 As I now from time to time remind ourselves, today started from last night, how we went to sleep. Did we talk to the Lord Jesus Christ? Did we examine ourselves, our conduct for the day, against the Word of God, that is, against Jesus Christ
    himself? Did we lean on the word of God that ends up in the Spirit, leaning on Jesus Christ himself because he is the Word of God? Did we do things right for people? Did we account for our time, account for our money? Or did we do anything rubbish
    and we just forgot about it? We were putting ourselves first. Did we take time to put others first? Did we take time to know love your neighbour as yourself? Did we take time to know that? Did we ever do anything that is grieving the Holy Spirit and
    displeasing Jesus Christ? Grieving Jesus Christ.

    01:10 Brothers and sisters, this examination, examine yourself, is critical. Critical, brothers and sisters. Therefore, even a couple of days back, I had to in fact, rebuke a pastor.

    01:22 Because rebuke is sometimes, oh, we are whacking them and this and that. No, it’s not that. The word of God, is it.

    01:27 The word of God is for rebuke, for rebuking, for correction, for edification. Only when you correct. Some people say edification means that you feel good when the pastor talks to you, when the counselor talks to you, you must feel good.

    01:45 No, brothers and sisters, when the word of God comes, it will convict you. It will say what wrongs you have done. Your flight won’t take it, your heart and mind won’t take it.

    01:58 Because the Word of God corrects you and separates bone from marrow and rebukes you and all that. But when you let go of the sin, let go of the wrong, then what happens? Then the joy will come. But when the rebuke is coming, you know, some people,
    some people say, no, no, no, this is not of God.

    02:16 I feel uneasy, I feel unhappy. Yeah, the word of God is convicting you. You better feel happy.

    02:22 Because it’s like the medicine when you take, it’s a bitter pill of bitter powder you have to take, or bitter drink you have to take. Like bitter gourd. Drink is good for a lot of things, including sugar, balance and all that.

    02:36 But it’s bitter gourd. People really don’t like to eat bitter gourd these days. And so people grow bitter gourds that are not so bitter.

    02:43 Brothers and sisters, today, brothers and sisters, we must remember, examine ourselves critical. And if we don’t examine ourselves. So I ask the pastor, did you examine yourself, brother? Did you before getting up into these problems, did you
    examine yourself? He is not so how? Brothers and sisters, God’s command is what Examine.

    03:04 Therefore I put a permanent scripture. Examine yourself. Permanent Scripture.

    03:09 2nd Corinthians 13:5. I use it to amplify to see whether your counterfeit Christians. Examine yourself 13:5 in the email.

    03:17 You have some permanent scriptures coming out there. 2nd Corinthians 13:5. In Amplified, examine and test and evaluate your own selves.

    03:25 Then in later part of the verse it says, unless you are counterfeit, test yourself whether you are fake Christians. Brothers and sisters, if you don’t examine yourself step by step, everything will look good and peaky. But you’ll have to have peace.

    03:39 You will not have peace. Peace comes when we surrender everything to God, including asking Jesus Christ for forgiveness and also asking the people we do wrong to forgiveness. Brothers and sisters, today we start by examining life.

    03:54 Please start for your own sake. Thank Jesus Christ. Now this scripture here, this is like all things are not beneficial.

    04:03 This is from First Corinthians 6:12. Everything I’m reading from the Amplified has Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything.

    04:25 Enslaved by anything. It goes on to explain, brought under its power, allowing it to control me. Everything is permissible.

    04:33 Some other translations say everything is lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial or not all things are beneficial, or not all things are profitable. Sometimes they say profitable means of use of any gain for me. Everything is lawful for me,
    but I will not come under his power.

    04:50 I will not be enslaved. Now when you read this scripture. That is why when reading scripture, it must be read in the totality.

    05:00 The whole counsel of God, the whole council of God starts with God love for us. Jesus Christ loves us. So whatever command he’s putting for us, however ridiculous may sound to the unbelieving mind or unspiritual mind or soul, it’s actually for us.

    05:19 That’s why God says it’s authoritative prescription. It is a prescription for us. So when we see a command like that and our heart doesn’t like it, first of all, the Father made that covenant for myself, commandeth my own heart and mind.

    05:32 If Jesus says the world is black, it is black. It’s black, black, black. Not the purkovan eye is selling me and this and that.

    05:39 Now let’s See this? But so if you take this, everything is lawful. Everything is lawful for me, everything is permissible. That is why I do this.

    05:46 Now that makes the fallen nature, heart and mind and flesh, wants to do wrong things. Already looking for a scripture that can let you do whatever you want to do. Now if we do whatever we want to do, which I did whatever I wanted to do before I knew
    the Lord, it harmed me.

    06:07 So yes, we can do whatever we want to do, nobody is going to stop us here. Even if the law of the land permits, doesn’t mean that you do that because it doesn’t mean it’s going to be beneficial for you or your family. It doesn’t mean it’s going to
    be profitable for you and your family.

    06:14 Even if the law of the land permits, brothers and sisters, just because it is lawful, lawful, first of all, the human law is allowed means, doesn’t mean it’s going to be profitable for you. But let’s say the Bible law, the God law also permits you,
    doesn’t mean it’s going to be profitable for you. Because not everything is sin, but everything is not beneficial.

    06:48 That’s another translation will say, not everything is sin, but not everything is beneficial. But if we keep on doing now, so where does this issue come? It comes 1st Corinthians 6:12. Let’s go and read what 1st Corinthians 6, 9, 10 says 1
    Corinthians 6:9 and says, Therefore you must see the whole counsel of God always don’t read one, go and read before and after that particular scripture too and look at other translations.

    07:13 Do you not know? First Corinthians 6, 9, 10 King James Version New King James Version do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? He’s talking to the Corinthian church. It’s a church of believers, you know. And all kind
    of funny things were going on in that church.

    07:13 Do you not know? Not only just funny brothers, it was all kinds of sinful things also going on in the church. Although it’s a church of believers group. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? It’s a question Paul
    is asking, do not be deceived.

    07:49 This is a command saying, hey, look here, don’t be deceived. Don’t think for yourself by yourself, measure by yourself. There’s a scripture they examine themselves, measure themselves by themselves, for themselves and come to some conclusion which
    is only destruction.

    08:02 Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor couches, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor no extortioner will inherit the kingdom of God. He has put a list there now.

    08:23 1 Corinthians, 6, 9, 10. Now all this group will not inherit the kingdom of God, even though this group can call themselves Christians or Christians just because I keep telling people just I can call myself American people won’t know. I used to have
    a permanent, what you call 10 year multiple entry there.

    08:43 Twice I renewed and I finally forgot about it. Thank Jesus Christ. Now, but that doesn’t mean that’s why they see me going in and out of America.

    08:51 Some people here may think, hey, if I tell them, look, I’m a pr, American people may believe that, but that’s a lie. America knows you’re not a citizen. You may say you’re a Christian, but Jesus Christ knows you’re not.

    09:05 Therefore, I say, examine yourself unless you to see whether you’re fake Christians. The counterfeits. Now, brothers and sisters, this group.

    09:13 So people who are in this mess right now, don’t get upset, get angry with the devil. Get angry with your heart and mind for being unconverted and love Jesus Christ and say, lord, I want to please you and you can come out of this in the name of Jesus
    Christ. If you have some kind of addiction, then you need deliverance.

    09:32 But deliverance can only work if you confess and want to turn. Your repent is what turns away of thinking. It starts in the head.

    09:40 Repentance starts in the head. Rot also starts in the head. Fish rots in the head.

    09:46 I have a segment before, just like fish rotting the head. I had rotted in my head before. Why I was using human and humanistic logic.

    09:55 It starts in the head. So now repentance also will start in the head. You start thinking differently.

    10:00 You start digging a line of in the line and the words of Jesus Christ, why? For our own sake. Nothing happens to Jesus Christ if we do not. Yeah, he’s grieved.

    10:11 He may even weep. He wept. When people are in anguish and sorrow and all that, he wept.

    10:17 The Bible says that outside Lazarus grave, the word just one phrase. No, two words. He wept because he was overtaken with compassion.

    10:28 But nothing really happened to him other than that it happens to us. So, brothers and sisters, now he says in 1 Corinthians 6, 11, earlier, 9, 10, we read, and such were some of you before you believed. And such were some of you.

    10:43 What all that the Bible is talking to me. The word of God talking to me. I was like that.

    10:50 Such were some of you before you believed. But you were washed by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. You were sanctified.

    10:57 What a sweet sounding word. Sanctified. You were separated.

    11:03 I was separated. Oh, fantastic. Lord Jesus Christ.

    11:07 Thank you, Lord. I was separated. I was sanctified.

    11:10 And because I’m sanctified, I’m now called a saint. Sanctified, set apart for God and made holy. That’s the word.

    11:17 Sanctified means I’ve been set apart for God and made holy. I was justified, declared free of guilt in the name of Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit of our God, the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior. I was sanctified.

    11:34 But if I continue doing this, if I continue lying, I continue drunkard. I continue this without concerning myself with these issues, then I’m living a lie. God was clear.

    11:47 If you continue committing sin, I continue committing adultery, I continue being drunkard, I continue to become violent. I continue to become all that, reviler and all that or whatever, then I’m born of the devil. There’s another scripture in John.

    12:02 So instead of getting upset with God’s word, know that all this was damaging me. So when God’s word says as such were some of you, that’s me, Lord, I was like that. It’s only youy.

    12:12 I thank youk for your sacrifice. You suffered like that to sanctify me, to separate me. Set apart for God and made holy.

    12:20 Been set apart and you’re changing me from glory to glory. I thank you, Lord Jesus. Now let’s look at some of the things that are not beneficial.

    12:29 For instance, those days, so many investments I’m involved with. So one investment I was thinking is okay if we can gather all the expensive liquor bottles, you know, brandies and whiskies and all. And over 10, 20, 30 years time, soda beans or
    Christies, they can auction there.

    12:46 You know the foolishness, foolishness. So buy some of these expensive bottles of liquor. They didn’t last because I drank it.

    12:56 I was a drunkard. So this so called oh, big plan, big time plant, it doesn’t last, not beneficial. So gathering liquor bottle and all that.

    13:06 Of course for a Christian it’s a temptation. Don’t do that. Now for instance, whatever we do, it may not be beneficial, it may not be unlawful in the land and even God may allow it.

    13:18 But it catching you. For instance, those days, many people I didn’t have that boys night out. So the husband wants to go to a boy’s night out.

    13:28 So it’s a boy’s night out. They need an escapism. Boy’s night out, boys.

    13:35 Your covenant, the second highest covenant after the covenant of blood covenant of salvation for you is the marriage covenant. God says second highest for a married man and a woman is the second highest covenant is the marriage covenant. The highest
    is the blood covenant of salvation by Christ.

    13:53 What? Boys night out is a courthouse. That’s why he said I will not be enslaved by anything. Oh, I cannot.

    14:00 Today is a boy’s night out. I must do this. No, no.

    14:01 I must do this. You know, I must have my kitchen. Spit can span anybody come.

    14:08 Don’t come inside. You come inside, you disturb. So they clean up the kitchen and nobody should go in.

    14:15 I’ve seen women like this so much so when before I was born again, I would give them a mouthful. They crazy. What’s the kitchen for people to go and use it, isn’t it? No pick and span.

    14:26 So something has enslaved them. Some kind of a belief, you know? Yeah. Keeping the kitchen spick and Spanish.

    14:33 Of course not law unlawful. It’s not. Is not unlawful.

    14:37 It’s even permissible. But if that enslaved you and that I’ll go to football game. Not me.

    14:43 I wiped up even when I was not born again. People paint their face left and right. Hey, I say, what crazy nonsense.

    14:50 Why are you painting your face? Oh, this is my group, the red devils. Hey, you are painting red devils on yourself. Crazy.

    14:59 Now look here. But the law also may allow. Yeah, the law allows you to call this law.

    15:04 Red local law, the human law. Red devil. You can put.

    15:09 You can put devil Halloween. You go and check and see. Everybody will tell you that Halloween is an auspicious day of Satan.

    15:17 Satan worship. But I will do Halloween today. I’ll knock on the door and then I’ll buy all kinds of uniforms and all that.

    15:24 And costume. Costume party. Okay, take costume party.

    15:27 God doesn’t say sin. You put something in costume. But if the costume party will cost you so much of money, so much of money, it’s not beneficial.

    15:37 In fact, you have been fooled into buying this, brothers and sisters. Why do this? So when you examine everything we do against this word, now remember, when everything is permissible for me, it’s not talking about all the sin business. The sin
    business is not permissible for us.

    15:52 So don’t read that First Corinthians 6, 12 out of context. It is in context when you read from first Corinthians 6, 9, 11. And then you see 12, there are things that are permissible.

    16:07 Now there’s another other commentaries who say the word should not be not all things are beneficial. The word should be not all things are expedient. Expedient means a lot of people take shortcuts, convenient things we do.

    16:20 Although that actually eventually is damaged, it’ll damage. It may be beneficial to you in terms of short term money and all that by damaging others. That is sin against Christ and you still harm yourself because you’re not loving your neighbor as
    yourself.

    16:34 Not all things are experienced. Don’t find shortcuts then it hurts others. It may be good for you.

    16:39 Brothers and sisters, today we are Christians. Examine ourselves. We are not fake Christians.

    16:44 We are true Christians submitting to the law of Jesus Christ. To the love of Jesus Christ. He put these rules because he loves us.

    16:52 That is why he put he loves us. In Jesus name I pray. Remember that he loves you.

    16:57 Amen.
