00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 6 November 2015 Jesus Christ says only believe Part 2 Jesus Christ says only believe two brothers and sisters yesterday. Let’s recap. What did we learn from some of these experiments that medical science has now told us.
00:26 First thing now, before that, I hope all of us remember to think of Jesus Christ when he woke up, when he went. I told you today starts the night before, before he went to sleep. I pray all of us have meditated on the things that happened and how we conducted ourselves.
00:44 Was it pleasing to Christ? It must be pleasing to Christ and pleasing to Christ. He’s already said all the things he wants to say. The scriptures.
00:53 So we should know the Scriptures or search the scriptures and then repent and love him. And love him and love all, including our enemies. Then you go to sleep and you’re thinking of your brothers and sisters when you woke up this morning.
01:06 Anybody, everybody around you. Your own family, of course, your own wife, your children, your husband, your household, brothers and sisters. Let us start with that.
01:18 Now, yesterday, let’s recap. Yesterday one the person who believed suddenly the balls of cancer growth sarcoma. He believed that that drug will settle him as soon as he took the drug.
01:33 Well, within a few days, it’s all okay. It’s fantastic. And then as soon as they announced that the drug actually by and right, the drug mainly doesn’t work, they announced the papers immediately gets back into this sarcoma again, cancer.
01:46 Then the doctor to help him faked it and say, okay, I gave you a, you know, very concentrated one and it was okay. Fantastic. Then we must time FDA or somebody then announces that, you know, really doesn’t work and then he dies.
02:01 Now that’s belief. Yeah, no belief now. So you must understand this belief business.
02:07 Very critical, very crucial belief in your heart. Next thing they found that even people who have been told by their doctors that no, this pill cannot do very much for you. There’s nothing this and that they gave you the pill.
02:19 The people still recovered on so many things because they cared for, they felt cared for, attended to. They’re mislead, they are loved. And they trust the doctor.
02:31 They trust their doctor. So for us, very simple. We trust men.
02:35 But we have put our faith in Christ. We trust men, of course, wise as serpents, gentle as doves. We don’t go around trusting everybody because the world has become so wicked and people are out to deceive.
02:46 Then what happens? Next thing they found earlier segments already told you. When a young Girl or boy is in love. They are good.
02:57 Their healing hormones are so much healthy hormones are so much they feel alive and their health is so perfect. Even any stress they come, they can handle it. So that comes from we loving somebody.
03:11 I love somebody. I love my wife, I love my children. I love the congregation.
03:14 I love the brothers and sisters in Christ. I love all. And that good hormones must.
03:20 The healing hormones must flush. And I told you the so called bad hormones, the stress hormones they are also good because Jesus Christ doesn’t create anything bad. He created the hormones to protect us in a state of danger or stress or whatever.
03:34 The hormones fill up for you to take action. Adrenaline. Adrenaline is the kind of hormone that he will strength suddenly beyond human strength.
03:43 Somebody will say, let’s say a mother sees a fire burning and the child inside the she’ll run under pain and fear, flame and everything. She thinks the child comes because adrenaline will kick in. The father sees the boy drowning just as the sun jumps into water.
03:59 That’s adrenaline and cortisol and all these are good hormones. But then what has happened? If we are stressed all the time, these good hormones meant for that situation begins to flood every cell and damage. But we need those hormones in times of danger and all that.
04:18 So belief, trusting in people, loving somebody and we loving others is the key relationship. Now let’s look at this from our point of view. Take the issue that I’m still facing this lung so lung now it has been more or less.
04:43 They have what you call tests have indicated that some portion of is fibrosis in my lung. That means then there’s some portion of the lung cells have died. So the breathing becomes difficult.
04:56 Some haze comes and becomes difficult and this kind of thing they’ll tell you that fibrosis means the dead cells cannot be recovered. They can only stop the damage. That’s what medical scientists tell you.
05:10 But of course I have to believe by God because you can call Lazarus out of the grave. What do you mean you can’t? Can’t get my lungs reunited. Nonsense.
05:19 That’s my rubbish heart will tell me. But Jesus can do anything and everything he does. So look at me now.
05:26 What is my problem here? This haze only suddenly all this come don’t have haze also still the recovery is not all that good or hotshot. No hotshot recovery now brothers and sisters. So what happens? So there must be some fear somewhere.
05:41 So I’m also while I’m teaching you all, I’m teaching myself. The spirit of God is telling me what to say and is moving Me to say things and I am also convicted. Hey, why is my situation so why? Because there’s some fear.
05:55 There’s some fear in me somewhere without me realizing I’m not shaking in my boots or something but there’s some fear sitting somewhere that this lung issue. And then when I was meditating yesterday after recording this morning thing and power of Christ morning, then night also I’m meditating in it. Then it comes and God puts impress my heart.
06:17 It came from before, before I was born again. My right lung, this is in the right lung. The right lung was filled with water and they had to drain the fluid every day and that is that they couldn’t drain very much and then from the liver first and then when the lung finally going to collapse they had to puncture the lung and you know, literally almost a litre of water was, you know, I don’t know, I turning half a liter of water full, moving so fast through the tube the surgeon piped in.
06:52 Oh, it flows like a dam, you know and then they declare it because so fast it was coming up under so much pressure I could have breathed and I would have died there that day, you know, God, Jesus, God’s mercy. I’m not following God, you know, I’m a wicked wicked that I. So they crammed the thing to stop the flow because then they started taking up slowly because the pressure so much the lung would have collapsed and the scent of that. So that thing has been sitting in me somewhere in the recesses of my mind, recesses of my mind somewhere in my mind is sitting down there.
07:26 Oh, sital, zinc problem, lung problem, lung problem. Now you see, so all of us will have something sitting somewhere blocking complete recovery. So I fear that that means, that means.
07:39 And of course people who know me and all they say this pastor is very not afraid. This pastor is not fearless. Who cares like.
07:48 But actually there’s some fear sitting down there on this one. Now there may be some other fear sitting somewhere until God reveals to me I won’t know. So two, so what I should do, I should now in the name of Jesus Christ I started doing.
08:01 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart to not to fear, not to fear, but to trust my Jesus Christ to give me a great healthy life. And when time to go home, absent from the body, present with the Lord, not lingering with these kind of issues and two, not to fear the face because my faith is in Christ. Because as a scripture God says when they’ll pick up serpents, Jesus says pick up serpents and drink Poison they don’t harm them.
08:32 Not we purposely go and do that, stupid. I mean I purposely go to drink poison means I’ll of course die. Because he said when people try to poison you or whatever they do, it will not harm you.
08:42 So the haste of course I have to protect myself with some mask and all this and make sure I drink enough water and some herbal thing and all. And then I still have to face it. If I every time.
08:52 Oh, haste, haste. Every time. I’m looking at reporter haste today.
08:55 How say haste. I’ll call one other pastor and I think I was a very safe situation today. This also appears here.
09:01 Don’t look at it anymore. I will just trust my Christ. This comes from trust.
09:05 Now all of you better look at your own issues. What are the issues there? Next thing is you see the issue when the person in love, all the healing, hormones, health and all that, right? Seek ye the kingdom of God. Righteousness first all these things are added.
09:19 More than enough will give you whatever our needs. More than enough will give you now whatever the unbelievers are looking for. Looking out this one, that one food and blessing.
09:29 He says he’ll give it to you. Just seek the kingdom of God. And he says, look at the birds, who feeds them? Look at the flowers, the flowers in the field, so beautiful.
09:40 Now he’ll say take care of you. Why you bother with all this? Now this how does we? Very simple. He already told us righteousness.
09:49 We had joy, we must have joy. So daily you get up. If you know joy, you know more trouble is coming.
09:55 So you better get out of it. In the name of Jesus Christ, seek what is it. And then you begin to have joy.
10:01 Worshipping Jesus Christ, you will have joy. Worship him, Worship him, love him. Now is it.
10:07 They found that when they love somebody loves somebody. That person, the person who loves the young girl or young boy, loving their health. All well, fantastic and all.
10:15 So he told us, love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Why did he tell us when we love him, our health will be perfect, brothers and sisters, perfect. But of course the other angles you will see any fear sitting down there.
10:28 He in fear there means how to love this God completely. There is some fear sitting now too, and not to be afraid anymore. That’s it.
10:35 So to turn today I’m not going to bother with this haze in Jesus Christ’s name. I curse every fear of anything, including the haste. And not to bother with lung this deep rooted.
10:45 No, because I was dying there with the lung issue. So now the thing deeply Rooted anything on the lung like that. What nonsense.
10:54 Absent from the body, presence of the Lord. Die. Die.
10:57 I go home not bothered about this. Think about this lung business or whatever. I get up in the morning with full faith and hope in my Christ to lead me through, to do his will, what he has put me on earth to do.
11:11 In Jesus name. I pray so I worship him. I love all.
11:15 Love all, Love all. Even the people do things against you. Love them.
11:19 Why more love. We come up from us. More health, more benefit in our bodies.
11:24 Now relationship, you see, when they’re cared for. Relationship. Can you imagine somebody may be wealthy or whatever.
11:31 And finally, when sitting together alone, they may have family around, but nobody trusts them. They can sense the electricity people attention, tension. The children may be there, husband or wife may be there.
11:44 But tension there no love, no love. Now tension. That is why whenever you are in your house, when all followers.
11:52 Now listen to this morning broadcast. Right? Now listen to this. If you are.
11:58 Let’s say your wife did something and you are upset, or your husband did something, you are upset. You better now think of the type that you first loved her or loved him. And then you begin to think because get the love back.
12:13 Why the love not in you? You’re harming yourself. Very clear. Science has proven again again this one.
12:19 But we didn’t have to wait for science. If you just followed the Lord’s laws and God’s commandments. Keep my commandments if you love me.
12:26 This is the proof. You keep my commandments. The commandments.
12:29 Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. And you live and for disciples.
12:35 Love one another as I have loved you. Now, brothers and sisters, can you imagine if you love the disciples as he has loved you? Your health will be good. There’s no room now.
12:48 Of course now Science has said 80% is all spiritual rooted. They found spiritual roots. You know, arthritis or cataract or whatever.
12:56 Cataract is what critical spirit. Every time looking at people critically critical eye causes cataract. They say 80%.
13:02 Of course, the remaining 20% of any of the issues can be chemical exposure, including this haste business. But fearing a haste is wrong dealing with haste. Yes, I got to put on mask and all that.
13:14 Yes. But deep down the fear must get out of me. In the name of Jesus, right? No more anything the haste because oh, my lung will go really.
13:22 Stop this nonsense. In the name of Jesus Christ. I pray now, brothers and sisters, today we know we must joy worship him.
13:32 Brothers and sisters. Worship this Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Love flows from Him. Now when people get healed, also when they are loved.
13:41 And we have infinite love sitting in front inside us. We sitting inside. Infinite love.
13:48 God is love. So we don’t even one of you littering here. You have a problem in the house.
13:54 Or you even may be cast out of the house because you follow Christ. There are many around the world, you know. They’ve been discarded, cast out of the house, disowned.
14:03 Even if you are listening to this or even if you’re orphaned, you’re an orphan. Listen, brothers and sisters, you are inside love. God is love.
14:12 God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you. Jesus Christ loves me.
14:16 He died on the cross for each of us. That is ultimate love. Ultimate love.
14:22 So you feel loved. You better feel loved because you are actually loved. You are loved.
14:28 Receive that love, brothers and sisters, and then worship him. And you return that love. You return the love by keeping his commandments.
14:36 I will keep your commandments, Lord Jesus Christ. To please you, Lord. And by pleasing you, I am fulfilled.
14:42 Everything I need is settled. My health is perfected. In Jesus Christ’s name.
14:47 You begin to worship Him. Everyone listen who you have some health issue. Worship him.
14:52 Worship him. Examine yourself like I am doing, right. What is this? That means I fear the thing.
14:58 That means I didn’t trust God. You know, I’m feeling the hate. Means I’m fearing what happened to my lungs.
15:05 Means I didn’t trust Jesus Christ in that area. I curse it. I command my heart to trust Jesus Christ completely and fully.
15:13 He’s the husband. My soul loves me. He loved me.
15:19 Brothers and sisters, today is important. Examine yourself. That is, come humble yourself.
15:25 More grace will come. And then examine yourself. And to know that we really do not know anything and we are not, we are nothing.
15:33 We delude yourself, begin to worship Him. Forget what medical science says. And all we know that the statistics have shown some encouragement for us.
15:42 But he has already told us. Jesus Christ has told us. He is the same Jesus Christ you know.
15:48 Jesus Christ says only believe. Says you know why I say says. He’s still saying.
15:55 Because he was, is and ever will be. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. So what he said 2,000 years ago, only believe is still saying to us, only believe.
16:09 Only believe. Believe in him first. We believe in Him.
16:13 Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who takes care of us. And we love Him. He receives his love.
16:19 So you are loved. Love him back. So you’re loving.
16:22 Love all. Because by the power given by Jesus Christ, love all. And you see what will happen to your own spirit.
16:30 Rising up, rising up with love for others. And then don’t allow anything. Anything moves in quickly, cut it.
16:36 If in the name of Jesus Christ, you begin to look at love again, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray everyone over, including me, will be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ by keeping his commandments. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 5th November 2015 titled Jesus Christ said Only Believe. Only believe. Brothers and sisters, this title is actually important for us because it determines a lot of things for our lives.
00:22 It includes me even now. There are many things I struggle to believe and I begin to pray, you know, and I’ve not completely succeeded in many things. But all of us is a journey.
00:34 We are ambassador of Christ walking. This is not our home. Our home is heaven.
00:39 We are citizens of heaven. As we walk through, we face many issues and we have to believe in Jesus Christ. But by mercy of Jesus Christ, we walk this life, including me.
00:52 And there are things that my faith may not hold, but my belief will be in Jesus Christ. And whatever happens, we accept. Because all things work for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.
01:06 This scripture. You must anchor yourself to a few scriptures that will see you through in times of difficulties. Brothers and sisters, Brothers and sisters, today we are dealing with issues on healing.
01:19 Healing again. There is a thing in science, the thing in medical science or medical practice says placebo or placebo or nocebo. Placebo is when no treatment is given and suddenly these people are healed for something.
01:38 Let’s say they give them a false pill. In experiment, one group got a real pill, the other group got sugar pill. And the sugar pill people also get healed.
01:47 Means it’s called placebo. The medical profession try to push it away, you know, placebo, placebo, don’t bother about it. No, if a person getting healed, who cares whether it’s placebo or any other thing.
01:59 And then the medical profession has another thing called nocebo because they say something and then people end up having that. For instance, somebody say the doctor says you only got four months to live because cancer spread so far and wide or whatever, very deep, you only got four months to live. And many of these patients, in fact most of the patients die within time.
01:59 And then the doctor so thrilled that his estimate was so good. Actually that’s actually utter stupidity to even rejoice because you estimate of somebody dying within four months and then giving a decision to say you cannot die because of the statistics that shown to doubt with doctors. Some doctors have become robotic.
02:42 They are living in a world of statistics. Oh, you’re sitting so far, so it’s only six months. Put your life in order, affairs in order, that kind of things.
02:50 And obviously finished. So, brothers and sisters, today we look at what are the. Some experiments are done, for instance, as I Said we are living in real life.
03:04 So some doctors, actually still many doctors become robotic. They train as robots. They do not want the patient is not looked at.
03:11 Maybe they got problem in their own homes, maybe they got problem in their own lives. And then that mess up and they come. They are human beings also.
03:18 So we must love them. We love them and say, okay, but our faith must go in Christ. But many don’t have Christ, so their faith goes into many who have Christ.
03:27 Or so their faith goes into the doctors who say something. Now let’s look at some of the experiments, some of the results that medical science has gathered and kept. There was this case, you know, they took two groups, they got knee.
03:42 Knee problems and they needed knees surgery. And so a group of this in Finland, so group of people wanted needed knee surgery. So they separated them two groups.
03:55 And because you know, they do the local. They. They not nowadays anesthetics they can give you and you’re still wide awake and you can see all happening, but you don’t feel the pain.
04:06 They. They did that kind of anesthetic. And one group, you won’t feel the pain, but you can see in the.
04:12 In the TV monitor what’s going on, how they operating your knee and all that or whatever. So this, this kind of science is there. Those of you do not know, but many already know, that you can have some kind of anesthetic, that you can see what’s going on, but you don’t feel pain in that area of your operation.
04:27 So. So one group actually had an operation knee operation. Another group, they didn’t have a knee operation.
04:34 They told the doctor to pretend to have a knee to give the knee operation. So the patient looking at this TV monitor sees this operation be conducted and all. And then they found over time, both the groups, they found that both the groups actually healed.
04:49 The one with the operation of course healed. And the one without the operation also had a similar result of healing. And the ones with the operation.
04:57 Why? This is because of belief. The people believe this. They had operation.
05:02 So although they know operation, their mind has believed they got operation and the body healed it. Now there’s not another there many cases, hundreds of cases. But of course remember medical science when they show us the med.
05:14 So many statistics, statistics, as they say in mathematics, are sometimes they say it is what they. What they. What they reveal is important.
05:25 Yes, important, crucial. But what they conceal is vital. What they consider is why the height is very vital.
05:32 They hide. Statistics can be manipulated. So brothers and sisters.
05:37 So statistics are statistics. They can manipulate by manipulated by human beings. They give you the right statistics for you to be boosted up or brought down.
05:45 Now brothers and sisters, now today there’s another case. What happened was there is this man. Now this is all long ago this man had they called lymphatic sarcoma.
05:58 I think sarcoma kind of cancer like orange sized balls form in your growth in your lymphatic system. Under your armpits, under your throat, under. Wherever the lymphatic node side becomes a like orange size ball.
06:10 And it’s dying, so it’s dying. But that at that time there was this experimental drug called I think Crevisone or something. And.
06:18 And they said cannot get it because you must be able to leave more than the patient must have more than 3 months possibility of leaving. Otherwise the doctor cannot recommend for the test trial. So this man couldn’t get it.
06:29 But he was begging his doctor again and again and again. Finally the last day the doctor decided forget about it, let me help this fellow and just give him the cravisone. So.
06:40 And of course he will die because the cravison really not all that effective. But these fellows. But nobody knew how effective it was.
06:46 It was experimental drug. But this fellow was begging and crying with the doctor on and on. So the doctor gave him.
06:51 And to his doctor’s surprise over the weekend he found this fellow walking when he came back from the weekend gave him on Friday night and went off and came Monday. The fellow was walking and within 10 days all the things had disappeared. Now couple of months it was fantastic and all that he’s healed, completely healed.
07:06 No more of this cancer. And suddenly the news report comes out the caron actually they found that it’s not as effective as they believed it should be. Immediately the cancers returned.
07:16 Within a few days the cancer returned. And this is all belief problem. So.
07:21 So it was a plusbo that you know you can be healed with your belief. And you got this thing and then the thing doesn’t work. Also you healed.
07:30 And then the no sibo when they say it doesn’t work. And all it now whacked him. And then the doctor took pity on him and decided to tell him look here I. I got a.
07:39 This crevice on the day giving there is all diluted and not the one I gave you the last time. You know, I’m giving you extra special high strength and all that. And I they gave him.
07:49 The doctor gave him because took pity on the flood. Decided to fake the thing, gave him that and soon enough everything is fantastic. He Healed and all.
07:57 And he went on for a while, for a few months, I think. And then suddenly FDA is somebody big announcement. Clarizone really does not work.
08:06 Does not work big enough on papers. Within a few days the man dies. So this is placebo and nocebo now.
08:16 So these things go on. These things go on. Now the situation believe so now.
08:22 So one other group decided, okay, placebo, no sibo, we should not do this. What other things? Because they also found. One other study found that when the.
08:32 When the doctors caring for this. They study doctors caring for people and told them this is. This drug is actually what I’m giving you is actually nothing.
08:41 It’s actually non effective drug or just, you know, it’s a sugar water or something. Okay. Then people still healed.
08:53 So they were wondering, they were told it’s plus it is no effect. It’s just go water. And people are self healed.
08:59 They found that it’s because of relationships. They found that relationship good relationship with people because they tended to them, they felt cared. When they felt cared, they also got healed.
09:09 They felt cared, they also got healed. Friends and sisters, this plausible not simple situation. But our Jesus already told us this.
09:16 Now let’s get back to the what of Jesus Christ, the son of a living God, the husband of our souls have told us this. So for instance, in Mark 9:23, Jesus said to him, this is the leader of one of the leaders of Israel has come, his daughter is dying. And Jesus said to him, if you can believe.
09:35 Oh, this is another case. This is the man his son being thrown into fire and like epileptic fits and all that. So yes, if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes all things, not some things, all things are possible to him who believes.
09:53 Now that is, I’m reading from the King James Version. Now the Amplified Version says, Jesus said to him, all things are possible for the one who believes and trusts. And trusts in me.
10:06 Take another scripture before we go further. Yesterday I was quoting a wrong scripture. Brothers and sisters, 1 Corinthians.
10:14 It’s actually 1 Corinthians 15:10. First Corinthians 15:15:10. Apostle Paul says, by the grace of God, I am what I am in 1st Corinthians 15:10.
10:24 Now next scripture. Luke 8:50, Luke 8:5:0. Jesus tells to this leader of Israel, one of the leaders of Israel, his daughter is dying.
10:33 Do not fear. Only believe and she will be saved. Only believe.
10:39 Now the question is in Amplified. That was in Catholic edition. I read now we read the Amplified.
10:45 But Jesus hearing this Answered him, do not be afraid any longer. Only believe and trust in me and have faith in my ability to do this and shall be safe now. That is why they also found a good relationship with people, good financial status.
11:02 That means there are no owing and this and that. They also found that, you know, happy people live something like I think seven or seven, 14 years longer or something. So all these put together is in the spirit.
11:17 First it’s in the spirit. So what we believe can kill us or heal us. And some belief will be so deep rooted we need to meditate and examine.
11:31 You need to meditate and examine yourself. Where is the belief coming from? It could have been an incident somewhere. When you’re young, somebody told you this and it impressed upon you, or somebody bullied you, did this or whatever, or frightened you and the thing sitting down there.
11:43 But all this can be cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. First of all, cast out the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus Christ and all that. Now brothers and sisters, I’m also not in some areas, I’m still not completely in this perfect situation.
11:58 So also remember when I’m talking to you is also convicting me as I told you all the day. So I’m also in some areas I’m also, oh, praying harder, praying more this way, praying why? Commanding my heart, praying more that the issue in the the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to believe something, to believe something.
12:14 And then after that I correct all this rubbish from the world and all that that also affect us. Now they found that how does this happen? When they believe with him? When they believe. When they believe that this thing, test, this new drug will do something for them.
12:31 They become relaxed. When they become relaxed, good chemicals flow. Dopamine, nitric oxide, I think nitric oxide.
12:39 That nitric oxide is a healing, healing, healing hormones will follow. So night nitric oxide and nitrous oxide. I forgot, I forgot.
12:51 So no. 2 I think it says now then you have if a bad feeling. No, not relaxed.
12:58 And Allah all the troublesome cortisol them all cortisol comes. Whatever God created is good. Cortisol is a hormone that makes you now run away or take action or whatever.
13:11 That’s a good hormone. But what happens in our modern day life? You go to office, stressed out, got to soul, all flow. But after a while these things have settles down.
13:18 You must relax and all. But what people do after all, they begin to go heavy jogging, competitive sports or whatever. Cortisol increasing, come back seeing a movie or whatever.
13:28 A fear Movie, you know, horror movie or whatever. And then that becomes more cortisol based. So the cortisol and all these hormones, on and on.
13:37 The hormones are needed for you to take some action. But if 24 hours the hormones go on and on, then of course the body begins to get damaged and die now. So therefore when we have this thing, no competitive sports after your whole day.
13:52 Stress is not good. People go for walks and all that is good relaxation. God wants us to relax.
13:59 And America science now shows relax means righteousness, peace and joy. Now if you are having financial stress, borrowed here, borrowed that, this and that. That keeps on hammering you throughout.
14:09 Of course you fall sick. That’s why Jesus said what he told us already. Seek the kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy.
14:15 And all this we added joy, righteousness, peace and joy. Now the medical science cannot take away the sin in power of Jesus Christ. We can overcome sin, we.
14:24 Because sin also harms us from inside. Sin. Oh, when I was in adultery like that.
14:29 When people are in adultery, they got all kinds of shame, puts on the soul all kinds of stress goes on inside there. Brothers and sisters, these things are real. When you’re unseen, you have no peace, no joy.
14:41 Then all the time this cortisol and everything will be running not bad hormones, they’re good hormones, but they are running all the time. Because we put ourselves in the cort condition. So only believe.
14:52 Believe what? Trust in Jesus Christ. Because the medical sign, even they give you a placebo pill, the medical sign cannot solve the sin issue, cannot solve the Satan coming to steal, kill and destroy. Cannot solve the spirit of anger.
15:05 Spirit of anger coming on and on. Because somebody provoking you, they can say relax. But supposing you got like when I was in doing all the rubbish, how can my wife relax every day? I know, relax, although it’s nothing to do with her.
15:18 So other people can be causing you all this. So therefore only Jesus Christ only believe and believe in his ability to do this and trust in him. So what we do, so what I have to do is I have to prepare prayers, the conditions I’m facing and begin to command my heart and mind to believe all the time that this is what God will do, this is what he has promised.
15:40 And begin to hammer my heart and mind, the name of Jesus Christ, renew my mind with the word of God, the promises of Christ. And that has to change. It has to begin to renew my mind and all the other things also.
15:51 Even this cough and distant thing off and on. Even today I have some cough. So it may be the haze and all.
15:58 But the haze is now no more than a few days. So that injury has taken place. So even this now I got to make some prayers and begin to make me believe.
16:05 Make me believe. No, make my heart and mind believe that Jesus has healed me. And this has to change.
16:10 My heart, lungs have to get strengthened. All this I have to do just like you, brothers and sisters. Put a list believe in and trust.
16:18 He said by my stripes you were healed. So I now must believe that. Because even the cancer patient, of course it could be chemical cost him or something cost him.
16:27 But finally he healed because he believes, isn’t it? But in our case we can believe. Take out the sin, overcome our fears, have righteousness, peace and joy. Must have joy.
16:35 They found people with joy live much longer. This all proven by our God, Jesus Christ. Long, long time.
16:41 Two thousand years ago he’d written all this already. We just have to now take it now. Medical sign coming along and showing this.
16:47 Thank Jesus Christ gives us some better understanding maybe. But Jesus already told us. In Jesus name I pray.
16:54 We do this every day, brothers and sisters. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 4 November 2015 Self confidence versus God confidence self confidence versus God confidence. Brothers and sisters, today this is a very important topic. Why in fact every day when God teaches something, it is important.
00:02 Brothers and sisters, I myself, when I wait on the Lord and begin to speak, speak into this phone to record or whatever, this recorder, I find that while the words are coming out, I am either being convicted of things that I did or didn’t do. And then the meantime I will be asking sorry Lord and changing my life. My life changes because the word of God convicts me.
00:47 And at the same time God reminds me of so many things and at the same time my life is getting better. Better because the word of God changes us. So it is also I am benefiting from doing what he told me to do.
01:00 Brothers and sisters, the words of God, they are life. They are life to us. So when the words of God are quoted from here and then some explanation I am giving as the Lord leads me.
01:13 And of course there are times I will be talking. It may not be the Lord what I experienced, I just saying to explain to people, but whatever is wrong, I asked God for forgiveness and I explained the next day I was wrong or whatever. And remember a few weeks ago I had to even record and say I sinned yesterday.
01:33 So God wants me to be truthful to anyone, everyone. And this recording after I passed on and gone back to the Lord by God’s mercy, there’ll be people listening. They wouldn’t know that I’m not around.
01:46 So. But these things only God can do. Brothers and sisters, today the title is self confidence versus God confidence.
01:55 This has become a big issue in the business world. You know, when very young itself, we pick up information without knowing, you know, that we must be self confident. We must depend on self dependent, self dependent, self confident.
02:13 Why we must provide. Especially the boys, this generation Z boys, I don’t know what’s going on because of all the hammering they get from the EMF and the estrogen and what have you and the bombarded false information and the temptations and all the Z generation, I pity them. They are rarely under stress and they end up following wrong things.
02:38 But even that time itself, we didn’t have this kind of temptations. But we have been built into believing that I must be self confident, I must be self dependent, I must provide. Especially the boys at that time, when they grow up, they provide for the family, provide for our own family, parents and all that.
02:54 And therefore brothers and sisters, and now motivational books. After that I grew older. 18, 17, 18.
03:02 Reading motivational books and all that. And these motivational fellows, they taken the thing from the Bible only. But the only thing, they won’t let you.
03:10 They’ll make you self confident. Self confident, Self confidence. So today we have to see Scripture.
03:14 What is this? Is it self confidence? We must have self confidence or not? Or is self confidence good or is self confidence going to damage us? 2 Timothy 1:7 says, I’m reading from King James Version. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Many times that of power and of love and of sound mind is interpreted that, yes, I must be able to do because it has given me power, love and sound mind.
03:41 I must be confident. And I must do this in Hebrews 10:35. I’m reading from the Catholic edition.
03:51 Do not therefore abandon that confidence of yours. Do not therefore abandon that confidence of yours. It brings a great reward.
04:00 So can you imagine the Scripture itself here, the way it’s written? Do not abandon the confidence of yours. It brings great reward. So people begin to think that I myself self confident.
04:12 And it makes sense. Do not abandon the confidence of yours. It brings a great reward.
04:17 But let’s read that is why when we reading Scripture and trying to understand what God’s Word is, God’s word says in the Bible, line by line, precept by precept, you’ll understand him and his words. Line by line, precept by precept. First of all, line by line, we begin to read and meditate and against the conduct, our conduct.
04:40 Only then our conduct will change. We begin to read the line of Scripture and the precept it must settle with the precept of Christ. Precept of Christ is all things are under his feet.
04:52 So now that’s one of the precepts of Christ. All things are dead. His name is higher than all names.
04:58 Therefore, confidence of yours is definitely not here. Meaning confidence of yours is not confidence in your in you, confidence in you. It’s a confidence of yours.
05:10 You have some confidence. But that confidence is confidence on what? If that confidence of yours is confidence based on what your confidence is on what is it? Confidence on you or. Or the things around you.
05:25 A confidence on the world, confidence on the job, confidence on our skill set, our professionals, our confidence on our exams, confidence on our qualifications. Confidence on our training. Confidence on our training.
05:37 Confidence on our monies that we have. Confidence on the advice we get from the various counselors doctors, lawyers and engineers and all that. And, and biologists and maybe oncologists or whatever confidence on the advice we have received.
05:58 What is the confidence on now? We’ll Go further. Romans 7:18. Romans 7:18 Is this for I know that in me that is in my flesh nothing good dwells.
06:15 Nothing good dwells. This is the Apostle Paul saying in Romans 7:18. He knows.
06:21 He says not believes. He knows that in me, in himself, in his flesh nothing good lives. There’s nothing good in our flesh.
06:30 John 15:4 6. Abide in me. Abide in me as I abide in you.
06:39 Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. Unless you live in me, unless you continue in me. 5.
06:50 I am the vine, you are the branches. That means I am the vine. Means you know, the vine of the, of the tree, wine of the.
06:58 Of the grape tree or grape plant, and you are the branches. The vine is the main trunk. Those who abide in me, and I in them, bear much fruit.
07:08 Because now this is Jesus saying, because apart from me you can do nothing. This is Jesus Christ saying to her, the husband of my soul, telling me, son, apart. Now, son means of course, the spirit man in you, sister.
07:23 So he’s calling you son also. Because the body also woman’s body, but the Father, God’s spirit in you. He’s calling you son also son, because apart from me you can do nothing.
07:33 Nothing. 2nd Corinthians 3:4 6. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ to towards God.
07:43 So our confidence is what? That we have true Christ towards God. It’s God’s confidence that’s going to settle us. It’s God’s confidence.
07:53 Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us. Our competence is from God. So our confidence must be in God.
08:03 Brothers and sisters, using these few scriptures, now let’s look at our life. Let’s say we study, study hard. So some people say, wow, that child brilliant.
08:11 No exams also clear. It’s a very false statement. And you are actually encouraging future damage.
08:19 Future damage? Why? First of all, you must remember, if only we study, we study, we study. Confidence in our own study. Confidence in our own study.
08:26 Then we must remember this. We are discounting the other players in the world, the other players in our life. There is Satan, who came to steal, kill and destroy.
08:36 And he is not staying still. He is on around the clock. He is working.
08:40 Why? The demons do not have to sleep. The fallen angels do not have to sleep. Our physical body has to sleep.
08:46 But our spirit man is not sleeping. That is why do not let the sun go down on your anger. Means don’t keep your anger and go to sleep also.
08:53 Because your anger is in the spirit world. And it is anger or spirit. It keeps whacking our spirit man while our body is sleeping.
09:01 Therefore you get up also not rested. All kinds of problems. Now brothers and sisters.
09:08 So if we say confidence, the fact confidence should be in God. Self confidence is actually sinful and destructive. Self confidence will bring self destruction.
09:18 Self confidence will bring pride. Self confidence is antichrist. Because he says, there’s nothing you can do apart from me.
09:30 John 15 Nothing you can do. Nothing. No, not some things.
09:32 Nothing you can do. That is why if you say, okay, I study hard, son. Study hard, daughter.
09:40 Study hard. Exam tomorrow. Study hard.
09:43 And then we discount God. What happens at the day of the exam? Let’s say the car accident somewhere somebody’s accident. You’re not.
09:51 Thank God you didn’t get accident. But somebody else also feels sorry for the people they got accident. Big jab.
09:57 You can’t reach the exam in time. What happens at the exam? Your brain, your head got a headache and you can’t think or you forgot things. Because that is why our confidence.
10:09 Self confidence is actually very minuscule. It has no power to support every other factor that is showing up in our daily living. Cannot.
10:20 We must have God confidence. Must go to God. You study hard because God told you to study hard.
10:25 You go and further then, Lord. That’s why before studying, you start praying. Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, have mercy on me.
10:32 I thank youk for giving me this. I command my heart and mind to only have faith in youn, not to have faith in my own self. I will study hard.
10:41 By youy power and mercy, I will study hard. I can do all things through youh, and I can do nothing apart from youm. Therefore, Lord Jesus, you must be here with Me.
10:49 I am in youn, you are in me. Make me pass this exam, Lord, and then make me settle you protect me from every danger. As I go for this exam and sit.
10:59 I pray for mercy, Lord, that give me good results. Now same thing. For instance, putting faith in man.
11:07 God said, do not put faith in man. This I’ve taught my wife from the beginning. As soon as I came to the Lord, do not put faith in me.
11:14 Does that mean she doesn’t trust me? No, she trusts me. In fact, trust me completely. In fact, I believe that because her actions clearly show she trusts me.
11:23 Completely. And I trust her completely. But I told her, you can trust me completely, but you cannot put faith in me.
11:29 Why, I am a man and I am limited. Your faith must be in Christ and you trust your husband. Yes, but your husband may not be able to do things.
11:40 You can trust your husband when I say, tomorrow, I will do this for you. Now, by mercy of God. By grace of God.
11:48 That is why in First Corinthians 15, I think 5, 10 or 15, he says, 510 or 15 10, I forgot. 5 he says. You know what Apostle Paul is saying? He’s saying, by grace of God, I am what I am and I labour more, work harder, more, you know.
12:10 Then in James There is James 4. He says, There are two fellows talking. We’ll go to the town, we’ll spend a year there.
12:17 We’ll do business and get some profit and all that. And God says, you fools, what happens? Your life is called tonight. Your life is called tonight.
12:25 That’s why you must say, if the Lord wills, God willing. By mercy of grace. Mercy and grace of God.
12:32 By mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. By the grace of Christ. So brothers understand, we have to get into God confidence.
12:41 Confidence in God, confidence man, be confident who also gave us our breath. I got breath today to do this. Therefore I said tomorrow I’ll get up and do this.
12:50 Brothers and sisters, it’s only by the mercy and grace of Christ. Why, suppose I really cannot get up tomorrow morning at all. My intention is good so you’ll trust me when I say I’ll do this tomorrow.
13:01 But unwritten condition is for me all the time. Even when I say or doesn’t say, I know deep in my soul it’s only by the grace and mercy of Christ I can do anything I do. Therefore when you put our trust.
13:14 We trust our husband, we trust our wives. But our faith is in Christ to settle our husband or our wife. Our faith is in Christ to settle the man.
13:25 A man says I’ll do tomorrow, suddenly he cannot do. You better have the right heart and say maybe they couldn’t do yesterday I was talking about the self seeking destruction. Oh, they never do for me.
13:36 They never do for me what they never do for me. You say maybe they had something because they are not in control of their lives. There are issues in life, brothers and sisters.
13:46 God confidence is settled through God. Confidence is actually God. We seek God.
13:51 God seeking. Not self seeking, but God seeking God confidence. God confidence.
13:59 God confidence is absolute. I am the way, the truth and life. When Jesus says something, we have confidence in that why? He is the truth and he cannot lie.
14:06 He is the truth and he cannot lie. God, only God can settle everything. So now take other cases, for instance, even whatever you do, a musical instrument.
14:20 Oh, fantastic player. This, this pianist is solid. What skill set she’s got, hey, Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
14:28 The skill set. The word God doesn’t get up when we get up in the morning. God doesn’t tell us.
14:33 You know, last night I protected you from another attack. Last night you know, there was the devil wanted to bring your roof down and kill you all. I protected you.
14:40 He doesn’t say anything, he just keeps on protecting us. But we take it for granted. You know how many things, million things that have saved me.
14:47 But I’m going on the road. He would have protected me from another car just coming and whacking me. And suddenly we see the car go by and we say, thank Jesus Christ.
14:55 Thank Jesus Christ. Because why the Lord could have knocked us. Nothing to do with our driving.
15:00 Something to do with this. The devil tries to do things, but Jesus protects us, but he doesn’t claim credit for it. But we know in our spirit God loves us and he does it.
15:11 Self confidence is destructive. Just like self seeking. Self confidence is destruction.
15:16 Self destruction, God confidence, God seeking. Give glory to God. Because without him you cannot do anything.
15:24 You cannot do. Apart me, you can. Apart from me, you can do nothing.
15:28 What do you mean? So if a person says, and you cannot go and tell this to an unbeliever and say, can you see tomorrow I will come there and see you. By God’s grace, Jesus Christ’s grace, I will see you. The unbeliever will say, what do you mean you’re not going to turn up? Is it you don’t tell that to the unbeliever.
15:43 But if you tell that to your brother and sister, tomorrow I’ll see you brother, I’ll do this for you. By mercy and grace of Christ. If that man says what you don’t do, then he doesn’t understand scripture.
15:53 Actually he’s still having self confidence. His confidence is in man. Then you have to explain to him all these.
15:58 Give him this segment to read. Please listen to this brother. Because we must say God willing, God’s grace, God’s mercy, Jesus Christ, mercy and grace.
16:06 I will do this for you. Why we want to do. We are trustworthy, but we are not in control.
16:12 There are other elements that we are discounted. The Satan and what we sow, we reap. Oh, I will do, I will do.
16:19 We cannot take up all the issues we are showing in the study, study, study. We’re showing. But the meals you forgot to take nutritious food.
16:28 Suddenly there’s a fever or something. You cannot stop. Didn’t bother to take care of the dangly water in your area.
16:35 You cannot take everything. So therefore self confidence kills you. Because self confidence.
16:40 Okay, I’m so into study, study, study. But you’re not sowing into your health. How are you going to control that at the exam day? Brothers and sisters? Nothing like God.
16:49 Confidence. Have confidence in God, in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Because everything is under his feet now.
16:56 The name above his name, power of Christ will see you through. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ Daily Today 3rd September 2015 titled Self Seeking Causes self destruction. Self seeking causes self destruction. Christ seeking gives great life.
00:15 Christ seeking gives great life. Brothers and sisters, I too was self seeking before and it caused me a lot of distraction. Now first of all, remember this in James 3:16, James 3:16, I’m reading from the King James new King James Version.
00:35 For where envy and self seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. Where envy and self seeking exist, James 3:16, confusion and every evil thing are there. Now remember Jesus Christ was selfless in Philippians 2, 8, 10 we have seen he humbled himself even to the dying time.
00:59 Also he humbled himself to obey. Nothing about him. It’s about us because he loves us.
01:04 Now, brothers and sisters, I’ve seen this. Self destruction is a very big term I’ve used. Very dangerous, very alarming term.
01:12 I’m going to discuss some cases, some issues over the years I’ve seen. Now some Bibles will say selfish ambition. Selfish ambition, yeah, it means the same.
01:24 But many people don’t get it. Why I am not ambition. Take a house.
01:28 Homemaker, housewife they call it. Homemaker. I am not ambitious.
01:34 And so self selfish ambition, it doesn’t happen to me. But self seeking is actually self seeking is this. It’s about you and your child, your family may be and your husband, your child, not so these in various aspects.
01:49 For instance, a homemaker is. Whenever you’re doing something, it’s only about you. I need to do this, I need to do that.
01:57 Or you’ll tell your this is how it should be done. Because I like it this way. This is how.
02:01 This is how. You won’t say I like it that way, but actually that’s what it means. This is how.
02:06 This is how it’s done. And envy. Envy means they have that I must have this.
02:12 I don’t have this. They have a better kitchen. I don’t have the better kitchen.
02:16 I need a ghetto kitchen. And then I must have it this way. And then you manipulate your husband or talk to him in such a way you know that it’s really needed and all that whatever.
02:26 And all this is envy and self seeking. It’s about self, how you want it. Where there exists confusion and every evil thing are there.
02:35 Every evil thing means all the demons already there. All the demons are there and they finally destroy you. God seeking Christ seeking his great life.
02:45 So people say, what nonsense is this? For instance, in work. No, everything I must have, I must have. I must excel.
02:54 I forget about these people, forget about my friend or neighbor, whatever. I must excel. So I won’t tell them this, I will tell them this way.
03:01 And then you begin to manipulate because why you want that promotion and you want the promotion, why somebody else got a promotion? And what happens, you know, confusion comes confusion. When I talk to these people, you’ll find the answers don’t make sense. When you ask, when I’m counseling, when I ask some question, the answers even for the normal, sound mind, normal person also it doesn’t make sense, unbeliever.
03:23 Also it won’t make sense. It’ll be Confucian. No, they tell you one thing here and then tomorrow, later within the same council, they tell you something else.
03:30 They are in confusion because every evil thing already there. Why self seeking exists. So you take for instance a single, a single girl once married, oh, she will do selfie this way, self did that way.
03:44 Selfies, you know, selfies, they forget when they’re not taking the selfies. Because selfie you can put on the first front, fantastic picture, you can put for yourself within a great great green, painted your face properly or whatever nicely painted up and oh, selfie this way, that way. But when you’re sitting quietly in the car and you’re not doing this, when people look into your car, then when they see you, you’re now in your own mind, you do some rubbish.
04:07 People think they are in the car, people nobody can see inside, they will be digging their nose or something, you know. So now and then this same girl dress up this way, all self to the extent when supposing they are going to a party, oh, they want to make sure that her friend, they may be good friends and the two girls, but she’s a boy, she wants a boy. They don’t care about the friend.
04:30 No, I want, I want Destruction finally comes. Destruction. No, terrible destruction.
04:36 Confusion also will be there. And then they begin to tell something to lie and all that. Why confusion has come.
04:42 Every evil thing has come to have great life, you must be God seeking selfless. Selfish is different from self seeking. Selfish is you have something you don’t want to share, you don’t want to share, you want to keep yourself, you don’t want to tell people you have it.
04:56 And whatever you can do and do not do is sin, by the way. So as a pastor and a servant of God, if I have something, I can tell people, even outside people who are not Christians, if I can do something for them and I don’t do it is sin. So I must do so.
05:12 What you can do and do not do is sin. So praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth for that command. Now every command of God is for our sake, to improve us, to settle us.
05:21 God clearly said this is a fantastic command. Understanding self seeking and envy means confusion. Every evil thing is there and we can get out.
05:30 We can start commanding our heart and mind, examining ourselves in every circumstance. For instance, let’s say a widow or a single woman, that girl got a good husband, that girl got a husband, I want a husband, I want a husband. And then in the self seeking mode, envy will come.
05:48 Envira that one, that woman got a good husband, I don’t have, you know. And then same thing, widows, same thing. Self seeking, self seeking.
05:57 Confucian there all the time. Confucian. And every evil thing.
06:00 And whenever people are self seeking, I see they actually are ungrateful. Also very ungrateful. They don’t themselves know because they’re captive, they’re already captured by the devil.
06:12 Because every evil thing has come captured by the devil. So they’ll talk to you as they talk to you in guile and deception. They’ll put on a front and hello pastor, how are you? This and that not true.
06:22 And then they actually hello brother, how are you? Hello sister, how are you? You know, brother or sister, you didn’t do this for me. I was waiting, you know, I needed it and all. But you check the self seeking people, they’ll never do anything for anybody else.
06:35 And whenever they do something for somebody else, there will be some self seeking there. I have seen women, you know, who, when supposing somebody coming to the house and one particular boy, brother or sister coming into the house, they’ll do some special dish, why they want to impress that particular sister. So they cook.
06:56 That woman cooks, that girl cooks a better dish. Because impressed a girl or want to impress a boy or whatever. Self seeking in many ways it will come.
07:04 So it is for you as a child of God to know God, your father God, son of the living God, the husband of your soul already said envy and self seeking is going to destroy you. Confusion will be there. And confusion no.
07:17 Oh, when they’re coming, they keep quiet. They won’t say, but they’ll be acting uncertain, confusionly, saying things wrongly. And then anybody say no, no, no, we’ll be rushing to do something.
07:27 Why confusion has taken place. Every evil thing, they can’t even see. Everybody can see already everybody can see this.
07:35 Every evil thing has come. Self seeking is there. Very ugly spirit is there.
07:40 They themselves cannot see. And what we do, we must pity them. But at the same time we cannot encourage self seeking envy.
07:46 I’ll have to put a stop and say look here, I cannot do this for you. And when self seeking, you know, my child, oh yo, you all didn’t do anything. Nobody did anything for me, no.
07:56 And then you check a list would have been done for them. They never, they are ungrateful, they wouldn’t check that. But they’ll say no, I waited, no.
08:04 And then they didn’t do for me. They won’t think so much this person has done for me. So much they’ve done for me.
08:11 They didn’t do this for me. Maybe they are struggling, maybe they’re not well. Maybe they got so many things to do.
08:17 No, they don’t come to them because evil things have captured them. They only think they didn’t do for me. They didn’t do for me.
08:23 They didn’t do for me. My doctor. Wow.
08:27 Maybe that person, the pastor, the brother, the sister maybe couldn’t do today. Let me call and find out. Are they all right? Are they all right? Can I do something to settle you? No, it will never come because self seeking is so rooted inside that you’ll never think of that other person suffering, you know? And many times the godly person will be suffering and you won’t know.
08:47 They’ll just do for you. They’ll be suffering but they’ll do for you. Why? They are disciples of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
08:54 They love Jesus Christ and their heart is surrendered to Jesus Christ and they want to please Jesus Christ. So they’re suffering, they will get up and do. But you self seeking soul, oh, they never do for me.
09:07 And they do something, they must be doing something for somebody else. They are doing somebody else, but not for me. Ungratefulness come.
09:15 Unthankfulness will come and destroy them. Now in places they sell mlm. I’ve sold the MLM before now what to do, how to sell this thing, how to sell this thing, how to get this thing.
09:27 I must get this money to buy. Not besides thinking I must sell this, I must finish my quota not thinking whether this person buys and then will they have enough money, will they suffer after that? Maybe you have convinced them so well because your logic is so good or whatever and they put in money and that send out the money for the month for them to. They’re sacrificing for something else.
09:47 Sacrificing from some other budget. Don’t want to think, you know, just want to push the product. Self seeking and envy why? Oh, other fellow did better already.
09:57 I must do better. I must do better. Envy, confusion, every evil thing is there.
10:02 Self destruction is round the corner. Round the corner. I have seen this repeatedly.
10:06 Self destruction coming. Sure. Come, there’s no escape because it is God’s word.
10:12 Every evil thing out there means it’s destroying you already. Destroying you already. It’s finished now.
10:21 Self seeking ministry. Oh, I want more people in this church. I want more people in this church.
10:27 You see, the other church, plenty of people, more church. So I will do this, I will do that. Not one stopping to think.
10:34 What does the husband of your soul, your lord and master, to whom you have declared to be a servant unto? What does he want? Does he want you to compete with the other church? Or does he want you to do the right thing? For one soul, just one soul for God is worth more than the whole world. He told us. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Lose his own soul.
10:55 What does it profit a man? So why wouldn’t you? For God, he said, look here, son, one soul. Dharma is early days, you know. I already know.
11:09 God said, look, yes, I am one soul. I’m telling you, not even worth the whole world. It’s more than that, it’s worth.
11:17 So what would you do as a servant? Seek the soul, settle the soul. But no comparing. Comparing.
11:24 Envy, self seeking, self seeking, destruction. And these people with self seeking, they never improve. Why? Something will grow.
11:33 They’ll keep on taking from people. I call them those days before born again. There are two kinds of people.
11:38 I will say, I say there are two before born again. Two kinds of people. One the takers and the other one the givers.
11:44 The people who give. And there are people who just take and take and take and take. Never give.
11:51 Never even think of giving. Can you imagine why self seeking, envy, the confusion, every evil thing, it’s all about them. That is why forever their life is not changing forever their life is mess.
12:03 And for their life forever they’ll be complaining. I have nothing, I’m suffering. The more they come, I’m suffering, I have nothing.
12:10 Then nobody helps me, you know, nobody helps me. You know, the more destruction and more destruction. And this goes on in a cycle, goes on one cycle all the time.
12:19 Brothers and sisters, self seeking and envy is a terrible thing you have to examine because it’s destruction, self destruction. You don’t want to be destroyed. I’m sure you’re listening to this now.
12:31 The problem is I’ve not all the idiots I was in churches. I never learned this from them, you know, I never learned people, they might have read this scripture in passing, but not drilled into us. Hey, self seeking will kill you.
12:45 Envy and self seeking confusion. Every evil thing is there. Whenever people are confused, immediately servants, pastors, check.
12:51 Whenever people making sentences, statements to you that are not logical, not reasonable, not reasonable, immediately seeing where is the self seeking? Where is the envy? You check, you will find it, because God will show you. And then you tell the brother or sister, brother, sister, your problem is self seeking and envy. That’s why you are suffering.
13:11 Nothing to do with people helping you or not helping you. Nothing to do with your examination or not examination. Nothing to do with your children suffering.
13:11 Nothing to do with you being a single woman or a widow or a married woman or whatever. It’s because of self seeking and envy. So, brothers and sisters, check this among ourselves first.
13:27 And then of course, take a log out of our own eye. Take a log. I must take the log out of my own eye before I look at the speck in my brother or sister side to see how to settle them.
13:38 Self seeking, whenever you see, self seeking will never understand. They would have. People would have done so much for them.
13:45 And yet it was in the heart that I would do. They forgot all the rest earlier. Now they’re only looking at the next issue.
13:52 Next issue. Nobody helping me. Nobody helping me.
13:55 And self seeking. Envier, when you can get others to do something they won’t do, they’ll get others and they’ll put on this ugly spirit of pity. Self pity, ugly spirit.
14:05 Oh, nobody help me. You know, victimized spirit. No, very ugly spirit.
14:11 When I see it. I see the spirit before the brother said to open the mouth Today I know this is a terrible spirit. After a while God will tell.
14:20 God will show if you don’t examine yourself. After being corrected by two or three brothers and sisters. Sudden destruction.
14:27 That’s the scripture you know. After being repeatedly corrected on and on. So brothers and sisters, I’m telling you, anyone with this self seeking business, after being told people, hey, care for others, why you always complain other people don’t do for you all that they’re telling? And repeatedly you continue doing.
14:45 Sudden destruction. God says self destruction is explosion. Self implosion, explosion.
14:51 Brothers and sisters, no need. Christ seeking gives great life. Christ seeking great life.
14:57 So everything you cry out to Christ and you say what you must do. Today I get up. What I must do.
15:05 Not what I can get from people. What I can get people. This fellow must help me.
15:09 That fellow must help me. No. What I must do as I begin to do Great life comes because selfless.
15:16 I must command my heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ to be selfless today. Why? Because our hearts are like that command. And Jesus has given his name, his blood to wash us clean and to command our heart and mind to be selfless.
15:31 Selfless. No more self seeking to be God seeking. God seeking in the name of Jesus Christ.
15:37 God seeking get great life through. I’ve seen these cases who’ve changed from self seeking to God seeking finally have great life. There’ll be many testimonies even in this own congregation.
15:49 But there are still some in this congregation that I minister have this envy and self seeking going on and I pity them because self destruction coming and keep on telling them, not listening what to do. We can only tell. We are not dictators, we are not the police, we are not soldiers, we are not human soldiers.
16:02 We are not prison wardens. We can only tell. And after the cry for mercy from God, brothers and sisters, everything we do check for self seeking and then turn it into Christ seeking.
16:19 What does Jesus Christ, the husband of my soul wants me to do in this instance? And I will endure. I will pick up my cross and walk, walk. I turn the other cheek, I give away the next shirt or whatever I go in Jesus name I get up and walk.
16:36 He suffered for me. I take up my cross and walk. I will not be depending just people must help me, help me, help me.
16:43 And then I will say I want to help people. I want to help people as you begin to say I want to help people. Oh things life begin to change.
16:50 Jesus Christ will move for you. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the message for power of Christ Daily for 26 August 2015 Christ in you. From Death Unto Life Part 2 From Death Unto Life Part 2. Now yesterday we dealt with part one with a fantastic knowledge that we will know whether we are going to enter heaven or not.
00:26 And we’ll enter heaven if we love our brothers just as Christ loved us. Just as Christ loved us or loved me. Now brothers and sisters.
00:36 Now sisters, you must remember. You must remember you are my brother in Christ. You are my brother in Christ.
00:41 It may seem so ridiculous to the world and the world understanding from the unspiritual mind to the unconverted mind. What nonsense am I talking about? You are my sister, but actually you are my brother. Because the spirit man in you is my brother.
00:57 Therefore Jesus is not ashamed to call you brother. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you are my brother and I must love you as Christ has loved me. Now this seems fantastic.
01:10 That’s an old song those of my generation would have heard from the picture called Love Story. Where do I begin? Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love has been. Everything should remind us of Jesus Christ.
01:26 How great a love has been. What a great love that is human story. This God story.
01:33 The God in me, the God in you. A God who left his heavenly place to die on the cross and to be with us, to be in us. Now even this, to be able to love my brothers in Christ as God, Jesus Christ has loved me, is simply done.
01:54 Why he said this in Romans 8:29. Now remember, we must love. Otherwise, if we do not love, his warning is very clear.
02:03 If we do not love our brothers in Christ as Jesus loved us, then in 1 John 3:14 it is very clear that we are remaining in death. We are abiding in death and kept and held continuously held in spiritual death. But.
02:19 But if we love, by this fact, if we love, he says, we know by this fact that we love the brethren. When we love the brethren, we know we have passed over out of death, out of death, into life. We will enter heaven.
02:33 Heaven we are reaching. If you ask me, am I reaching heaven? Yes, by the mercy of the living God, I will reach heaven. Even that.
02:42 Not by my own works, not by me. I will not put faith in me. I will put faith in the love of God, love of Jesus Christ for me.
02:47 I will put in the faith of Jesus Christ in me. Therefore I can proudly touch also in humility to the word of God. I am proud of my God in humbleness to my word of my God.
03:06 And say to others, my God loves me. A God who loves me. And that too.
03:16 Let’s look at this. Romans 8:29 says, for whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son. He is going to do this for us.
03:29 Only he can do this for us, those who want Him. So do we want Jesus Christ. If you want Jesus Christ, it is a matter of asking.
03:39 Ask anything in my name, and I’ll do it for you. He repeated this and many times Jesus will say, I say and say again. Therefore you see me repeating when Jesus had to repeat, I must repeat in line with what Jesus says.
03:44 I say and say again. We are predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, whose predestining is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The Spirit of God is doing this, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
04:06 I am his brother, but I am his brother. Not because I can do this, not by my works, not because I am so holy. And start learning and praying and praying and praying and casting out.
04:18 Yeah, I have to do all that. But actually I have been transformed by Him. That is why.
04:26 How do we get this? He said, exercise, isn’t it exercise our faith. What is exercise? He says, exercise means continue to behold in the Word of God as if in a mirror of the glory of the Lord. So I keep looking at the Word of God and I begin to see.
04:42 There’s a mirror. And I must finally see me in that Word of God. Now, how do I do this? By meditating.
04:49 God says, Jesus says, meditate on this Word. As I begin to meditate and meditate, so what word will I meditate? That I must serve my brothers in Christ. As Christ has loved me, I must love my brothers in Christ.
05:03 I get up in the morning. I must remember Jesus Christ is in me, in the Spirit and my heart. He must be formed and molded into my heart, into my soul.
05:15 And I must love my brother as Jesus Christ loved me. How did he love me? He gave everything up for me. I must be willing to do that.
05:24 And I’ll command my heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, as I keep doing this, I will remember in the morning, maybe when I’m having a meal, I take a drink of water. I’ll remember this as I beholding in this Word.
05:37 I keep looking at this Word, meditating on this Word. Now, what you do, you take the first person you know in the congregation you are in and the first person you know in the congregation who you have disliked. The one you would want to meet, the one you want to hide away.
05:57 Look at that person. Look at that person. Look at the person.
06:01 Now you have to decide this person is actually. Now you may decide from your carnality that this person is not in Christ. That’s not good.
06:10 So we will believe this person who is coming to church every Sunday or whatever, he wants to follow Christ. And he is lost. He is lost.
06:19 Why, poor person. We were also lost. We were lost.
06:24 So look at that. Unless he’s practicing sin, you know, then you run away. Then you run away, brothers and sisters, don’t be with them.
06:32 Because when you mix with this kind of thing, you are just. You may fall into sin because bad company will corrupt good character. God says, now therefore run away.
06:42 But you’re looking at somebody you don’t like. But if they’re not practicing sin, they may fall into sin often on so though do we. So look at the person.
06:53 So the first person. Now you want to clear this person in your soul, in your spirit. You’re looking at this person every day, looking at the word of God that you will love this person as Christ has loved you.
07:03 You begin to meditate, begin to pray for this person, begin to say, lord, I want to love this person. And then you do something good. You go and wish the person, greet the person.
07:14 They may turn away from you because they are suddenly shocked at what they’re doing. That’s not the point. You say, lord, I want to love.
07:20 Lord, I want to Lord. Jesus Christ was loving and still continuing to Judas, who was stealing money on the basis. And Jesus knew Judas stealing.
07:31 Jesus didn’t get excited and say, hey, Judas, you are stealing. No, no, you continued, no problem. Why? Jesus is whole.
07:39 When you are whole, you don’t feel slighted. You feel slighted when you are not whole. So now as you begin to do this, what does God say? You will be transformed.
07:49 You will be transformed. Then what you do? You buy something, maybe invite for a drink, maybe maybe get a birthday card. I don’t know why.
08:00 Although the birthday business, I don’t believe why. I was known by Christ before the foundation of the world. That means I don’t know my real birthday.
08:09 I am a spirit being and I don’t know birthday. I only know the birth date of my flesh. My body was born on a certain date.
08:15 That date I know, but that date is useless because my body going to die and go into dust. But my real birthday, I am a spirit being. That birthday I do not know.
08:26 So since I do not know, I do not celebrate birthdays. Why, but do I celebrate other people’s birthday? I will go. I will go and have the cake and have the tea and rejoice with them because they do not know this fact.
08:38 Whether they are Christians or non Christians. I am willing to celebrate birthday with them. And then when they ask me about me, I say, no, I don’t celebrate birthdays.
08:45 I don’t celebrate why? Because I don’t know my birthday. Now that itself will be a talking piece. But you do it in humility, in humbleness.
08:57 I don’t know. I don’t celebrate birthday because, you know, I don’t know my birthday. I am a spirit being.
09:01 I am this, I am that. That’s pride. Humble.
09:04 I don’t celebrate birthday because I don’t know. Really, I don’t know. And I want to be humble to the Word of God.
09:09 And so I want to do something that feeds my flesh. Because my flesh was so fallen, I don’t want to feed my flesh. That is why I don’t celebrate birthdays.
09:14 I don’t want to make my flesh begin to see. So important. Now the question now is how will this Word.
09:25 One of the ways the Word will change me is this way. We go to Isaiah, the book of. Now you see, I’m going to Old Testament.
09:38 I used to call myself a New Testament boy. And now I’m going to Old Testament. Why? Because the Old Testament is also the word of God.
09:45 The only issue is nobody could fulfill the Word that day. They couldn’t follow, they couldn’t obey. But now in Christ, by His grace, by his mercy, we can obey because he has given us power to obey.
09:59 Now, Isaiah 55, I’m talking from verse 10 to 11. For as the rain comes down. You know how God writes.
10:08 Beautiful, isn’t it? For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, the rain comes down and the snow comes down from heaven, and they do not return there but the water the earth, but water the earth. They come down and water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. As the rain comes down and waters the earth, but does not return back to heaven, it brings forth and buds, and it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
10:47 11 so shall my word be, as the rain comes down and waters the earth, and produces seed and gifts to the sower and to the Eater bread. So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. Now, the word of God we are repeating here that I must love my brother as myself.
11:06 And then I know. I know what? I know that I have been transformed from death to life. That’s the word of God that has come from where? From his mouth.
11:18 From his mouth? My Father’s mouth. Your father’s mouth has spoken these words in where? In that John, you know, in 1, 1 John 3:14. He spoke it just like that.
11:32 He said, word come down, shall not go back like that. My word that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please.
11:44 What he pleases. He pleases that none should be lost. None.
11:49 I should not be lost. He loves me. And he shall prosper in the thing for which I sent.
11:56 This is how the world will change us. This is how, brothers and sisters, the world will change us. Can you imagine? So simple? Meditate on the word, speak the word, think one person first clear it.
12:09 Put a list of the people in your congregation. And you want to love them all. Every day you think clearing one.
12:14 Why? If you love your brother as Jesus loves you, then you know. You will know, your heart will know that you are transformed from death to life. And you will enter heaven.
12:25 You are entitled to heaven. You know for sure in yourself. It’s not for me to know whether you will enter heaven or not.
12:29 It’s not for your brother and sister in Christ to know whether you will enter heaven or not. It is for you to know. Because once you know you are entering heaven, you will live differently.
12:42 Once you know you are a saint, you live like a saint. Once you know you are a prince. Once somebody knows a prince, and he lived like a prince, although he was a beggar before.
12:54 Although we were all beggars before. Now, if we are saints and our heart and mind knows that we are now actually entitled to heaven, and we reach heaven, we live differently. We are not afraid now.
13:07 And who will change it? His word will change us. Why? It will accomplish what it set out to do. He has ordained it.
13:16 And who is speaking this? The one who is speaking. This is the one who cannot lie. He cannot lie.
13:23 Whatever comes through is truth. And it will settle it. And it will prosper in the thing that he sent out.
13:29 Brothers and sisters, today is a wonderful day. Let’s focus on this. Let’s go and tell others and witness to others what a great God, what the husband of your soul has done for you.
