00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 18th of October 2015 titled the Devil’s Blessing. The Devil’s Blessing. It looks like a ridiculous title.
00:14 The devil giving blessings. We will find out as we go along that it is true because and people are duped with it. Now in yesterday’s Power of Christ Daily segment Love God and know thyself.
00:30 I talked about how I was already drinking against God, opposing God and all that. And I still became an Aston general manager of a huge insurance company which eventually was the Arab Nation Assurance company is one of the big big groups in Malaysia now. Then later I started my own company.
00:50 Within two, three years I a blasphemer using fold adverse and God. Now can you imagine this? And sexually immoral and all that. Adulterer and all that.
00:59 Yet my company grew very fast within 2, 3 years actual valuation, actualist valuation because I was doing insurance work and it was valued at $4 million in 8990 how and how I’m against God, I’m doing wrong things and I’m being blessed. That’s why brothers and sisters, we must understand God’s blessing is different from devil’s blessing. Devil also blesses.
01:27 How do we know this? Now we look at this thing when Matthew Matthew 4, 8, 10 in the revised Catholic edition I’m taking Matthew 4, 8, 10 again. The devil took him to who? Jesus Christ, the son of the living God. The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, the magnificence and all that.
01:55 And then he said to him, said to Jesus, the devil is speaking to Jesus. All this I’ll give you if you’ll fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him, away with you, Satan.
02:06 For it is written, worship the Lord your God and serve him. Only in some translation will say forever. It is written, worship your God.
02:14 Away. Get away, Satan. Like that.
02:17 And Satan had to go. Now just understand this. The devil took him to a high mountain and showed him all the world splendor and magnificence.
02:26 I’ll give you this. It’s all material things, you know. I’ll give you all this if you bow down and worship me.
02:34 So how was I bowing down worship to Satan? I. I was bowing down to worship to Satan. I didn’t go around and say, in fact, I’m so confused the time I think I know. This is another problem.
02:47 I used to think I know. Now we know. If we think we know anything, we do not know something.
02:49 If we think we know something, we do not know anything. As I ought to know as yet as I should. That time I was thinking I know so much and actually by world standard I know a lot.
03:03 But then the spiritual verse 0 I knew and I talk like that with confidence and people follow now but the thing is this, what is this? How was I worshipping Satan? In fact you know what I’ll do while I’m drinking or whatever anybody say talk about Satan and devil. I say what devil I am Lucifer. I will say I was so demonized, you know, actually now and then, and then back them, back them again.
03:30 No, the time terrible things I used to do. Now having said this now, how was I worshipping Satan? By my conduct, by my conduct. I was not worshipping God.
03:41 As long as you’re not worshipping God, you are worshipping Satan full stop. If you have not gone to Almighty God, the Father God then you’re going to all these small gods and all Satan takes control. Why? The small gods have no power to give you.
03:55 Jesus Christ gives you power to cast out Satan. Jesus Christ gives you power to cast out Satan and then you believe in Jesus Christ, you will cast out Satan in his name. In Jesus Christ’s name.
04:06 Now let’s look at another thing. Many people think when Jesus came, died on the cross and rose again and then went back to heaven, sit at the right hand side of Father God. Everybody thinks the whole world now controlled by Jesus.
04:21 Very untrue. 1 John 5:19 is written I think 10, 15 years later you know, 1st John 10, 5:19 we know amplified, we know for a fact that we are of God and the whole world around us lies in the power of the evil one opposing God and his precepts. The evil one is devil, Satan.
04:44 The whole world lies in the power of Satan. Now King James will say the whole world lies in the sway of Satan. Chantic Virtual would say the whole world lies in the power.
04:53 I think now you see APostle John writing 10, 15 years later or whatever about the whole world lying under the after Jesus had left. 10, 15 years after Jesus left, the whole world is lying under the power of Satan. How is this possible? Because the world kingdoms are still controlled by Satan.
05:18 The ruler of the world is Satan. The God of the world is Satan. So when will this end? When Jesus comes again.
05:25 The second coming. When he comes and destroys all evil and then he takes control and that is when we will also become co rulers with him. That is when this will end.
05:36 When you and I, brothers and sisters, that is why the calling is a very huge calling. It’s an important calling. To be a Christian.
05:40 To be a Christian is a big thing. But people have made it like nothing. You know, just I am Christian, so I’m suffering.
05:49 And hey, you have power to cast out evil spirits. And you are a child of God, child of the Almighty God who made the heavens and the earth. It’s a great thing, wonderful thing, big thing.
06:02 But the thing is they become a religion, just a religion. I’ll go kneel down, put some candles and then listen to the world’s way of thinking. Don’t check the scriptures, please, please, brothers, don’t even just touch.
06:16 Stop and listening to me. Get to the scriptures, read the scriptures and begin to meditate. And then you begin to understand what is this? Any, any Bible, Any, any denomination you have been taken.
06:26 Read, please. And then you see what is this? The whole world and the power of the evil one. Then you begin, your eyes will begin to open.
06:34 Why then you can explain a lot of things. Earthquakes caused by Satan. You know what they’ll do? Because even in the ancient terminology will be act of God.
06:43 Earthquake. Hey, our God doesn’t do earthquakes. Get this straight.
06:47 Our God loves us. Our God doesn’t go the Old Testament, I told you all. There’s a segment there because Nephilim, the genealogy will be is being destroyed so that Jesus cannot have a pure human genealogy to come as son of man.
07:04 He cannot do that. That’s why the devil is trying to create all the whole world, the genealogy to become Nephilim. So that is why groups of ammonites or whatever, they all had to be destroyed because they were actually not human beings anymore.
07:17 They were all Nephilim types because the sons, they call it the angels, the fallen angels, had sexual relations with the daughters of men whom they found beautiful and whom they took. Whoever they want to take, they take. Whichever girl they want to take, they take and then had sexual intercourse and produced these giants called Nephilims.
07:37 And this is another segment earlier, under Nephilim. N E P H I L I M Nephilim. Go and search for that.
07:45 Listen to the segment that is why the Old Testament God was doing all this. In the New Testament, Jesus has come and risen again and give us an age of dispensation. He says, okay, I don’t look at your sins first.
07:56 All turn to Jesus. I’ll give you power. I’ll wash away your sins and you will become righteous because of my sacrifice.
08:04 Oh, Jesus Christ, his sacrifice and he died for us. And rose again. Now, brothers and sisters, that is why, once you understand the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
08:16 You begin to see clearly. But also remember, mysteries are only for those who love God, who want to follow, want to be disciples of Christ, who want to follow him. Mysteries are not for everybody.
08:28 This is again, you know, in the mountaintop, he tells parables. Therefore, when he takes the disciples away. And then I think it was Peter who asked him, why do you talk in parables there? And you are willing to explain to us these mysteries are only for you, disciples of Christ.
08:44 So we want what is disciples of Christ disciplined in Christ. Is simple as that. No need to have so much complications.
08:51 Theology complicates people and makes them know better. They remain where they are, thinking about the theology. This way and that way and this way and that way.
09:01 Writing one book and many books. But no power to cast out evil ones. No power to cast out demons.
09:07 And then don’t do it. Even on their power, they don’t exercise the power. And then when you don’t cast out the evil one, what does the evil do? The evil one will take control of you.
09:16 If you don’t cast out evil spirits, the evil spirits will take control of us. Better understand this. They are not asking for my permission to enter me.
09:25 They are only waiting that if I have no power, I don’t use my power. Or I begin to give a foothold. As God said.
09:32 Do not give the devil a foothold. If I begin to give a foothold, the devil knows and the evil ones know. The demons know.
09:37 They enter me. They take control of me. That’s why it’s what the foothold.
09:41 I go drinking. Drinking, Drinking. Yes.
09:45 Drunkenness is sin. Drinking is not sin. God didn’t say drinking is sin.
09:49 You can drink some wine and this and that. But I have decided not to drink even wine. Why? Because Jesus said, I will not drink from the fruit of this wine again.
10:00 Until I see you in my Father’s kingdom. Until I see you in my Father’s kingdom where he lays a table for us. So I said, I can wait you.
10:09 Drinking wine is not sin, brothers. But I decided not to even drink a drop of alcohol. I drank so much before and drunk it.
10:17 So I made this covenant. I don’t want to drink anymore. Even the thing I let go.
10:21 Because that’s one way of controlling my flesh, controlling myself. No, I will not drop. I will not drink this.
10:27 If another day God tells me to drink wine, I will drink it. By the way, I’m telling You this why everything now must be led by the spirit of God, not by me, my me. I know I messed up.
10:39 I was against God now. So coming back to the blessing business. So the devil gives blessings and dupes people to believe because the whole world looks at the material wealth world.
10:50 So material wealth means, oh, this man is blessed, he is from God. So anybody in the church, somebody is growing with material wealth and all, they do not know whether he’s cheating at the back or lying to people. And there are contractors, Christian contractors, they call themselves, don’t pay their workers properly, don’t pay the subcontractors properly.
11:08 All this be going on and then say we are Christians. And then they justify it, you know, and then they think they are being blessed by the ruler of the world, but they are being blessed by the power of the evil one. Because he said, jesus, I will give you all of this.
11:25 So how are they worshipping Satan? By not following the precepts of Christ, you end up worshipping Satan. If you refuse to follow the precepts of Christ, you end up following Satan. You can have a form of religion.
11:38 The person can come there and worship front row because he’s got money and the church is expecting him to give money to pay their rental or building fund or whatever they give them front row, they’ll be worshipping and all that. And everybody will think, he’s blessed, he’s blessed, the pastor will be held accountable by Jesus Christ. I’m telling you this why, if you allow a person who’s doing his worldly ways and making riches and all that and giving in the front seat, you’re making all the congregation without thinking that that blessing is the worldly blessing, is what God gives worldly blessing.
12:13 Of course we need, God will give us, God provides for us. But you are making pastors, I’m telling you, you allow the rich people to sit down there. And then if the person is rich and is obedient to Christ’s brother or sister, oh, give them.
12:28 And if they’re obedient to Christ brother and sister, they’ll take the last seat. Why? Jesus said, what? Because do not go and get a front seat, Go and sit at the back. Jesus says to us, do not put yourself first, put yourself last.
12:41 So if they are actually true brothers and sisters, they are prepared to be humble. If they are not humble and they are demanding front seat, or you decide to put them up on a pedestal and put them in the front seat and then what are you doing? The rest of the congregation are looking at These people and saying, only when you have this kind of money, you are actually being blessed by God, Jesus Christ. So if you don’t have this kind of money, you have not been blessed by Jesus Christ.
13:05 That enters their soul, isn’t it? It enters their psyche. It enters their subconscious. And who is guilty of this? You, Pastor? God will hold you accountable.
13:14 Now, who is guilty of this? What will God will do? He said, the temptation offenses will come. But woe to the one who brings or allows this temptation to come. Destruction.
13:24 We don’t want all these brothers. Let’s change. Let’s change.
13:27 Now this again. Blessings from Satan. Here God says in Proverbs 10:22, Proverbs 10:22, it says, the blessing of the Lord brings true riches.
13:36 Amplified. The blessing of the Lord brings true riches. It’s an amplified Bible.
13:42 And he adds no sorrow to it. For it comes as a blessing from God. It comes as a blessing from God.
13:48 So what happened to me? The devil gave me blessings and then brought sorrow, untold sorrow, step by step, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy my. My health. Finished.
14:00 I was dying already in the hospital. I was dying. And then they sent me home to die.
14:03 Because they cannot do anything. Then only Jesus, you know, mercy. Then only I had to finally go to Jesus.
14:09 I have no choice, no, cannot go anywhere else. And he showed mercy now, brothers and sisters. So when the devil gives a blessing, he will bring sorrow step by step.
14:18 And God, Jesus through blessing is everything. It’s not just money and your needs, material needs, it’s a relationship, it’s your family. Your children are growing up.
14:29 They love you, they care for you, your children, all that. God will make it happen. Even for a few years.
14:35 If one child or two children don’t care for you or whatever, God will change them later because he said, teach them his ways. And they will not go far from it. When they grow older.
14:47 When they grow older, they will not go far from it. Teach them your way. So I have to teach my children Jesus ways.
14:55 And so even if you are teaching your children Jesus ways, and some don’t know listening this and that, don’t fret and don’t be panicked. Surrender them to Christ, but keep on teaching them, correcting them. Surrender them to Christ.
15:09 And your hope in faith is because you believe you and your household will be saved. And at a later date, you’ll find these children changing again, changing back to Christ because you’ve been teaching his ways. So the blessings of Christ, no sorrow comes.
15:24 The blessings of the devil. Sorrow follows. It’s a question of time.
15:28 You’ll see all kinds of mess. I know millionaire friends because I was myself constantly a billionaire with a company business. Isn’t it so now? So all my cookies are like that Do I? But God took me out.
15:40 Jesus Christ showed mercy and took me out. And so many of my friend are suffering in all kinds of things. There are money, they have money.
15:49 They have plenty. Even brothers and sisters, let’s understand this. The devil also blesses.
15:57 And we unwittingly, many unwittingly, unknowingly begin to worship the devil. Because they begin to worship the worst things, the material things. And they begin to worship the devil because they do not worship Christ.
16:10 Christ in the whole counsel of Christ. In the true precept of Christ. In Jesus name.
16:15 Today I pray that all are turned. All the eyes of the understanding will open and their hearts will come to Christ. That’s what I pray.
16:24 All those who are listening the hearts will turn to Jesus Christ and know that he’s the husband of your souls. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 17th of October 2015. Love God, know thyself. Love God, know thyself.
00:13 Before we start on the topic, yesterday a sister wanted to know that we are repeating these scriptures, certain scriptures below in the email we are repeating several scriptures again and again. And what is the reason? It’s a good question, brothers and sisters. The reason is this.
00:33 If we can follow these fundamental scriptures. First of all, God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. If we can follow that, be a doer, you’ll be blessed because more grace will come to you.
00:47 And then if you begin to meditate on this particular scripture, when your heart wants to be proud, whenever people say something, you immediately the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit will bring to memory. 4, 6 God gives grace to the humble. Opposers are proud.
01:01 You will immediately stop and you’ll be pleasing to God. Now another one is 2nd Corinthians 13 5. Examine yourself, test yourself and your own selves.
01:12 Test your own self, evaluate your own self. Unless your counterfeits. This is from the Amplified I took.
01:18 The earlier one I took from the Catholic version. This one I take my Amplified. This is a more extended version.
01:23 Test and prove yourself so that we are not fake Christians. From time to time we need to examine and test ourselves. So this is another reminder.
01:30 These are fundamentals, these are basics that we can keep us safe, keep us successful. Successful not the way the world thinks. You know, the successful means money, money, money.
01:40 But their marriage is all broken up, children all hate them. Everybody and the community may hate them. And money, money going on.
01:47 That is not the success. Success in Christ is so many things, relationship, relationship with others, you know, we’re first pleasing God, you know, I’ll deal with that another day now. So this evaluate ourselves, these will keep us good.
02:04 We live a great life, peaceful life. And people be drawn to us while we are salt and light from inside. Galatians 6:3 if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
02:17 This comes to me. I remind these things for myself. I put it here because I have been reminding myself these things and this has helped me.
02:24 That’s why I put it here. If anyone thinks himself to be something when he’s nothing, he deceives himself Every time. Mahaj will think those days I’m something, you know, terrible.
02:32 And even recently I said I gave a segment, I sinned yesterday, I sinned yesterday. I put a segment why it happened and 1st Corinthians 8:2 that’s Galatians 6:3. If anyone thinks himself to be something, 1st Corinthians 8:2.
02:49 If anyone think they know something, do not know anything yet as they should. So therefore the last one of course, love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbour as yourself and do this and you will live.
03:03 Meaning we don’t love our neighbor ourselves. We will not live. These are reminders.
03:07 These are fundamentals. God has put us for us and for our safety. In Jesus name we pray.
03:12 Thank you sister. And so that made me now explain this properly. Let’s look at the Scriptures.
03:20 Today I added one additional one which I’m going to keep repeating. James 1:22. James 1:22.
03:26 I’m taking from the King James Version. Be doers of the word and not hearers, only deceiving yourselves. Be doers of the word and not hearers, only deceiving yourselves.
03:38 James 4. That one we talked about in James 4. I take my Catholic version is God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble brother and sister.
03:48 Today the title is Love God, know thyself. Love God, know thyself. Now let’s look at this first of all, you see any worthwhile motivational book or motivational speaker or success speaker, you know all this.
04:06 You know self development, self development, speakers and theories and logics and all. They will all boil down to one thing. It has to be internally changed.
04:19 You have to change insight. They come to that point, you have to change insight. Only when you change insight, then the success will come to you.
04:29 They will tell you. Where do you think they got this from? They got it from the word of God. They only don’t want to claim it, Jesus Christ.
04:37 They claim it as if it’s their own new under the sun. God says so they take it and change it this way, that way and make a big motivational thing. And millions of people follow and become multi millionaires and life goes on.
04:50 But actually follow the Christ. No need all that. You just follow Jesus Christ.
04:55 What he says, you will have a great life. Even when trouble comes. You will be able to overcome, endure.
05:01 You’ll be able to endure. The motivational speaker can say it must change from inside. And then after that you know the secret.
05:09 The secret. There’s one thing that’s going on. The secret.
05:11 The secret, the secret that’s not secret. Jesus has already written it down. And then they’ll say it’ll attract to you.
05:17 You know, money will come to you because you change from inside. And money will, you know, money hears your call so all this story goes on now, but actually God said, don’t put your faith in money. Put your faith in God, in Jesus Christ.
05:33 Money will be used. God talks about money many times. He knows we need money.
05:38 So therefore and money by itself is not an evil thing. Money is not evil. By the way, many people think money is evil.
05:46 No, money is not evil. God’s word says. Jesus clearly says, check your scriptures, brothers and sisters.
05:51 Jesus word says what? The love of money is the root of all evil. It’s the love of money that’s the root of all evil. Money is not the root of all evil or money is even not evil.
06:02 It is just something that we need to use. But it’s finally inside us our heart begin to love the thing that is why then becomes problem. It’s a root all evil begin to come now.
06:16 And actually self seeking is another serious thing. Now the title is love God know thyself. That is why we have to know ourselves.
06:25 But how to know ourselves? If you love God, you’ll begin to know yourself. You love God means what happens if you love God, you want to do what he says. Now many people I’ve seen over the years pity, you know, because they don’t settle some scriptures.
06:40 Let’s take 1 first Romans 12:1 I’m going to first read from the King James Version and then I’m going to read from the Catholic version. They slight the difference in the words by means the same. Romans 12:1 King James Version New King James Version I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
07:11 What are we supposed to do? Present our bodies a living sacrifice. Because of course our bodies are living, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Now in Romans 12:1 Catholic version says New Revised Editions Version Catholic Edition titled as the new life in Christ.
07:32 I appeal to you therefore brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. There in the King James it says reasonable service. And here it says spiritual worship.
07:51 And when you go to the Hebrew and you go to amplified and go to the Hebrew meanings and all it combines both. Actually it’s a reasonable service expected us to do this and it’s also spiritual worship but starts with keeping our bodies holy and acceptable as a living sacrifice. Now we take this scripture, the title is know thyself.
08:13 We begin to know ourselves. Are we keeping this? Now this word of God Are we doers of the Word if we are not doer of the Word? The Word of God says we deceive ourselves. We deceive ourselves.
08:26 We are deluded. We are deluding ourselves. So many come to Christ and nobody tells them, hey, you’re going to be a doer of the Word.
08:34 They say I’m Christian, I’m Christian. But nobody stops and tells them, brother, you got to be doer of the Word. First of all, humble, do, do, do become humble.
08:45 You want to be humble. You want to be humble. So grace will come.
08:51 So some will say, I give up grace, I got grace, I work in grace, grace, grace. And they are proud. And that means there’s no grace from God.
08:59 That means some other party is giving them whatever they’re succeeding in. Because even the world people who are doing evil, if you identify success as just money and position in the world, then the world people all must be so holy. Why? Because they all been successful, isn’t it? So many world people are CEOs and this and that they go, they do evil things and yet they become owners of multi billions and whatnot.
09:26 Of course not all are doing evil things to become multi millionaires and billionaires. But let us say multi. There’s some wrong that we do because without Christ, sin cannot come out of us.
09:37 Without Christ that’s a given. Only the blood sacrifice of Christ can wash our sins away. No religious activity can.
09:45 I can go and kneel down and put so many candles, it’s not going to work. I receive the blood of Jesus Christ in faith. I receive him to be my lord and master in faith.
09:56 My faith is in the faith of Jesus Christ to settle me. Then I am now born again. My spirit man is now attached.
10:04 Spirit of God attaches. Christ is inside me now because I want him to be my lord and master, the husband of my soul. Then only the things will work.
10:16 But the world people, if they are doing evil and all that, so do not equate this kind of success. Oh, I got a blessing, I got some good job, great job. And then they’re proud and proud.
10:28 God said he gives proud opposers. So if he’s opposing, how did you get a great job? Then the God of this world, God calls him Satan as the God of this world has given it to you. Because if you’re proud, God says he opposes.
10:44 Right now if we are proud, if I’m proud, God says he opposes. Now in the world before I used to use four letter words on Jesus Christ. Can you imagine what a I was terrible Terrible.
10:55 And he gave me mercy, showed me mercy. Now having said that, what happened? Even then I was assistant general manager of an insurance company, which is the Arab Malaysian company. After that, as a general manager.
11:11 So I’m doing wrong things, I’m drunkard, I’m doing sexual immorality and all that. And then after that I started my own business two, three years and the business progressed so much. And actual valuation, actuarial, actual valuation, because I’m doing insurance work, actual valuation of my company at the time was already worth I think 4 million or something at that time.
11:34 You’re talking about 87, 89, 99, 89. The valuation was based on 89 or 90. It is 4 million worth at the time.
11:43 Now I was doing wrong things against God, using four letter words on Jesus Christ. So how was I progressing? The God of this world was giving me. The God of this world was giving me.
11:56 So brothers and sisters, don’t get mistaken. Just because you are blessed with something and suddenly you felt so good and then you think that God is blessing you. No, God was.
12:05 If I was against God and I was being blessed. Blessed with what? All these worldly things. Start a company within two, three years, I think, valued at few million dollars.
12:17 Start from zero. How? And so the industry was thinking what a great guy I am and this and that. But you see, inside I’m dying.
12:26 Inside I was dying. Brothers and sisters, don’t follow this. So worldly goods come to you.
12:32 Don’t think God is blessing you. God blesses. God opposes the proud.
12:37 Proud. So if you are proud, so you check yourself, you’re proud and you’re still getting blessings. Better check again.
12:43 It’s a ruler of the world giving you. Is the God of this world giving you? And then what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Now, brothers and sisters, coming to this, presenting your body as a living sacrifice. You see, I’m so sad.
13:01 Some people retire, they want to do the work of God. They want to do the work of God. They start traveling, they retire because money, EPF money has come.
13:08 So they want to do for God. They go here, go there and sort of mission fields, it seems actually nothing. They’re just going to visit some churches there and not.
13:17 They’re really not bringing anything of value. If you’re going there and casting out demons, setting the captives free, speaking of Christ and you’re doing these things. Yes, but at the same time, God doesn’t care about that first.
13:28 Because you know why? There’s one scripture, Jesus Said, you know what they’ll call me? Lord. Lord. And they’ll say, we cast out demons in youn name.
13:38 We heal the sick in youn name. And Jesus said, he will turn around and say, get away from me, you evildoers. Get away from me.
13:46 I do not know you. Can you imagine these people are casting out evil spirits, demons in his name and yet healing the sick in his name. And yet Jesus said, I’ll tell them, get out from me.
13:56 I don’t know you. Now because of this, when I was casting out evil spirits from the beginning itself, because evil spirits entered of me. So I was casting this out in the name of Jesus Christ.
14:06 Putting advertisements, the papers and all. I used to wonder that time I told God, I don’t want to do this. And fall into that scripture where you tell me to get out.
14:11 I don’t want Lord Jesus, I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to cast out demons. I heal the sick and then been told to get out there.
14:20 So Isaac, then God said, look, that is for evildoers. You don’t do any evil. You use my power and do the right thing and you won’t be cast out.
14:29 Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Then I started doing the work.
14:33 Now presenting our bodies as acceptable is a reasonable service of worship. So going and becoming a great singer there great worship leader is not going to work until your body is kept holy. Living sacrifice acceptable to Christ.
14:48 Now brothers and sisters, this is another thing. If a bride on a wedding day, the bridegroom says, for the reception, wear a green dress for the reception. Yes, white dress.
15:00 For the marriage ceremony itself. For the reception, wear a green dress or green saree. Will the bride go and purposely go and do a red saree? Red be read.
15:09 No, I write red. This is exactly what’s happening in Christendom. I follow Jesus Christ, but I will do what I want.
15:16 He says, keep your bodies holy. No, I will go to Mission Field. Keep your bodies holy.
15:17 No, I will go to Mission field. First be humble. No, I will go to Mission Field.
15:24 I will do this. I will do that. Brothers and sisters, first of all, examine yourself.
15:29 Examine yourself. Critical issue. Examine yourself so that you prove yourself that you are not fake Christians.
15:35 2nd Corinthians 13:5amplified we have to do this. So it starts with knowing ourselves. When we begin to know ourselves, how do we know ourselves? Love God.
15:44 Love God means be a doer of His Word. When we begin to do His Word, we begin to realize where we have problems sitting in our heart. Yes, I am saved.
15:52 I am born again. The Spirit of God is in me. Jesus Christ is in me in the Spirit.
15:57 I am a spirit. My spirit is born again. Now my heart and mind are to keep molding Christ inside.
16:04 There Christ is the word of God. My heart and mind has to be renewed. My mind must be renewed in the spirit of my mind.
16:10 God says, be renewed in the spirit of mind and your heart must change in Jesus name I pray today. Brothers and sisters, today is a Saturday. Use this repeatedly.
16:18 Listening Know thyself. Once you begin to know yourself from inside, things will happen in Jesus name because you will change in Jesus name. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 16 October 2015 Fear God or fear or love God? Fear God or love God? Now this used to be a good big confusion for me. Even when I first came to the Lord, this used a confusion. But I decided, look, fear God and love him at the same time. So I decided that because whatever God says is true.
00:27 But when people ask me this or when I ask people that, why God saying fear God and also love God? What’s going on? People can’t understand, they can’t answer. So they got a confusion here. That is why we have to look at the whole counsel of God.
00:46 The whole counsel of God is in the Bible. We cannot take piecemeal one scripture and then decide that this is what it says. We cannot do that.
00:54 Because we do that, we will fall into big error and make ourselves a mess. That is why today, God is leading me today to talk about this. And this is a very important topic.
01:06 Because you as servants, as pastors, as ministers, as children of God, as saints, whoever you talk to, you must be able to answer these things and secondly, apply it yourselves. Fear God or love God. First of all, let’s look at the fear God part.
01:24 Proverbs 1:7. I’m reading from King James Version. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
01:32 But fools despise wisdom and instruction. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. That means if we don’t have fear of God, the Lord Jesus Christ or God Almighty God, Almighty Father God and Jesus Christ are one.
01:47 That priesthood has been settled long ago. If you don’t have fear of the Lord, then there’s no knowledge. That means if you have leaders of a country, any country for the matter in the world, there are hundreds of countries, hundred of our countries.
02:02 So if you don’t have fear of God, these people don’t have. The leader doesn’t have fear of God, then obviously he won’t have knowledge and then he will do all kinds of wrong things, thereby praying for people to have wisdom. Especially there are people praying for people for the leaders to have wisdom.
02:24 It is not useful. But to pray for the leaders of a country to have fear of God, to fear of God. Because you pray Lord Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus, even his name as Christ, please give them wisdom.
02:39 God will say it’s against my word. They must first fear God. So sometimes people say, I pray that the leaders of this country or that country have wisdom to run the country properly.
02:51 Brothers and sisters, God’s word is clear. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Actually, some translation will tell you wisdom.
02:53 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. How to have this? So when we pray for leaders of country, leaders, Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that the leaders of this country, or whichever country you are in, to have fear of God. Fear of God.
03:15 Okay, now this fear of God. Now. Luke 12:4 5.
03:17 Luke 12:4 5. I’m reading from the Catholic edition. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill.
03:27 This is Jesus Christ talking. This is Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God. The husband of my soul is telling me.
03:35 I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that can do nothing more. But I warn you to whom you should fear. I will warn you whom to fear.
03:48 Fear him who after he has killed, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. In fact, some persons go on to say, destroy both body and soul in hell.
04:02 Destroy both body and soul. I fear him who can destroy after killing, you can destroy your body and soul and you can destroy everything. Fear Him.
04:12 This is what the various translations tell you. Do not fear those who can kill your body, because who can kill your body? The human beings and also demons can kill your body. If you are not having protection of Jesus Christ, you do not have protection of Jesus Christ.
04:29 The demons, the devil can kill your body. But do not fear these fellows. Do not fear the human being.
04:34 Do not fear the devil. Because if you come to Christ, of course he gives you power over the devil. Do not fear these people, these human beings and the devil, because whom you should actually fear is fear Almighty God, who can also kill your body if he wants.
04:51 But he’s not going to do that. This age of dispensation is giving allowance for all of us to turn to him and come through His Son who has died on the cross and given us his blood to wash away our sin. And he took our sins to believe in His Son so that.
05:07 So the age of dispensation is giving us a chance to turn to God through Jesus Christ. By letting Jesus Christ, believing in him, who took our sins, and then God and we are reconciled. So fear God who can kill your body, can kill your soul, can kill everything, destroy you in hell.
05:24 Fear Him. Now. So this comes to the issue, how come now? Fear God or love God? Love God with all your heart.
05:35 Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself and you will live now. So which is which? Brothers and sisters, this is no more a dilemma.
05:46 Listen. If you listen attentively, go back, praise Jesus Christ, take the scriptures, take the emails and read the scriptures and make it understand yourself. Because in this 15 minutes, what I can do, I can tell you here and there, you meditate on the scriptures and you become that.
06:03 God will bless you, Jesus Christ will bless you. Brothers and sisters, just you read the scriptures, meditate on your actions, your conduct to see whether you’re fitting there or not. And command your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ, to do what the Scripture tells you.
06:16 Become a doer of the word. You are blessed. You will be blessed.
06:20 This is a guarantee. This is guaranteed. Not from me.
06:22 Guaranteed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of the living God, who cannot lie because he is the truth. Brothers and sisters, now we look at. There are two sections here.
06:33 First of all, before we came to the Lord Jesus Christ, before we came to God, we were doing, I take, I was doing my own thing, doing whatever. All sin did not even have a concept of sin. Many times there are sins I’ll consider as right, you know, can you imagine? There are times I have my own logic, because there’s a logic, you know, there’s a philosophy.
06:53 Here we create ourselves. I’ll read some philosophies and create something for myself. One philosophy was to overcome temptation is to first commit it.
07:02 That means if I’m tempted, the only way to overcome temptation is do it. That means I’m tempted to drink. Booze means go and drink it and the temptation is over.
07:12 Can you imagine that stupidity I was in, but made sense to me at the time, you know, it made perfect sense. Yeah, I cannot take it. I must drink.
07:20 Oh, I must go and do lustful things, lecherous things, Sexual immorality. To overcome sexual immorality, sexual temptation. How to overcome is go and commit it.
07:31 Can you imagine the damnation I was creating for myself? Yeah, I finally got into a real mess because sin was begin to harm me. And merciful God turned me to Jesus Christ. So this kind of stupidity will happen in the world.
07:47 People will come with all kind of philosophies and all that. Oh, don’t fear God. There are people in Christendom.
07:53 No, don’t fear God. God is love. God is love.
07:56 Don’t fear God. But why did Jesus say fear him? Jesus Christ saying, you know the word of God. So these people and some people will push away, they say, no, no, no, God is love.
08:08 Even your sin and all Is okay, that’s not true. 1 John 3, 8, 9 Reading from the Catholic version, everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil. 1 John 3:8, 9 Everyone commits sin as a child of the devil.
08:23 9 He says, those who have been born of God do not sin. This means practicing sin. That’s why I’ll read From Amplified Now.
08:29 First John 3, 8, 9. He who commits sin, who practices evil doing, is of the devil takes character practicing sin or takes character from the evil one. For the devil has sinned and violated the divine law from the beginning.
08:43 The reason the Son of God has made manifest visible was to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works of the devil. You see, Jesus came to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works of the devil, which the devil already done. 9.
08:58 No one born or begotten of God deliberately, knowingly and habitually practices sin. So there are two elements here. Before we come to the God Almighty, we are in sin, we are committing sin.
09:10 We must fear God. And fearing God is the beginning of all wisdom and knowledge. Means when we begin to fear God, we begin to wanting fear God, what God will do and all that.
09:20 Then we begin to now know the knowledge of the truth. We go to God, we want to be reconciled with him. We want the sin to stop.
09:27 We don’t want the sin anymore. But then we know by then we are realizing because fear of God is the beginning of knowledge and the wisdom means we begin to realize that, hey, sin is harming me. I’m in a mess.
09:39 So then what we do? We go to God and we get washed by Jesus Christ. Then what happens? Then now we are in God, we are with God. And of course we won’t practice sin because we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and master.
09:53 If those who are sincerely in the heart have accepted Jesus Christ, the Lord and master and Saviour, and believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again and took our sins. Those who sincerely believe this in the heart will not continue practicing sin. The Holy Spirit would have come.
10:10 And whenever you’re going to sin, or even you sin, there’ll be conviction. There will be a distress in your soul and you will say, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord. You begin to ask for forgiveness straight away now.
10:22 But if those who are continuing sinning and still say they’re Christians, they are actually liars. God calls them liars. But actually what has happened, they don’t believe in their heart that Jesus Christ their Lord and master, that Jesus Christ took their sins, that Jesus Christ empowered them to overcome sin.
10:38 That Jesus Christ has given them power to cast out evil spirit. Now, in the name of Jesus Christ, you have cast out every evil spirit of temptation. You can cast it out in the name of Jesus Christ.
10:49 Many segments I’ve been teaching this for so long. That’s how I also stopped sinning. I cast out in the name of Jesus Christ.
10:56 I stopped sinning first because mercy came and stopped sin. All washed away. And then I’m not tempted, but finally temptation coming.
11:04 I cast out in Jesus Christ’s name. In the name of Jesus Christ. We have to cast out all those who believe in Christ are given power to cast out evil spirit.
11:12 And they will cast out evil spirit. That’s what Jesus says now. So if we.
11:16 There’s another scripture in Hebrews 10:26, in Hebrews 10:26, this is talking to Christians Apostle Paul writing for if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning, so if somebody calls himself Christian now, as a Christian, what we are, we love God. Oh, as a Christian, we can love God. We love God without fear.
11:39 Why, he has washed us of all our sins. We don’t fear God. We love Jesus Christ.
11:45 He loves us. God is love, and we receive his love. And we change.
11:49 We change. Now there are some who have not believed in their heart that Jesus Christ, the Lord and Master, who do not believe that Jesus Christ and do not use the power of Jesus Christ, of course, in the name of Jesus Christ, casting out evil and temptation, commanding their heart in the name of Jesus Christ, they can command our heart and mind to obey the word of God. All that they’re not doing, and then they continue, oh, nothing is okay.
12:12 We can sin on and on. And many times I’ve heard preachings, just pushing this Hebrews 10:26 and 27 aside and saying it’s nothing, it’s not for you. So telling people literally you can continue sinning willfully and deliberately and nothing going to happen to you.
12:27 No, when God’s word says something going to happen to you, you better open your eyes and your heart, eyes of your heart and eyes of your understanding and begin to take it in. And those who are born of God will take it in. Those who are not born of God, as the Bible itself says in John 3, 8, 9, that you continue committing sin means you’re born of the devil.
12:48 Then you will not understand. I pray everyone who is listening to this stop for a moment and now examine yourself. Are you continuing the sin? If you continue the sin, you have not made your heart understand and believe in Jesus Christ completely.
13:04 Now we Love Jesus Christ. We don’t want to sin because we don’t grieve him. Now let’s say we are already.
13:11 Take me, even Hebrews 10:20. If I now start going willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth. Truth is what Jesus Christ.
13:20 After receiving the knowledge of Jesus Christ, I go on doing this. What happens, you can only expect. No longer there’s a sacrifice for sin.
13:28 God says in 26, there no longer remains a sacrifice of sin to atone for our sins. The no more sacrifice. Burning candles and putting flowers and putting incense.
13:38 He said, no, no, all this is not going to work. The sacrifice, only sacrifice for sin was on the cross. Jesus Christ died as an atonement for all our sins.
13:49 Now we burn candles, we put incense and all that. Remember this. It’s action you want to do.
13:55 You do. But the point again is you do not go. And of course God says, do not go and pray to idols and all that.
14:03 The other thing, do not pray to idols and all. So if anybody trying to pray to idols, please, brothers and sisters, careful. So now the thing is, we now accept Jesus Christ.
14:16 God said, worship me in truth. I am spirit. God is spirit.
14:20 Worship me in truth. Truth and spirit. God’s commander.
14:25 God says, I am spirit. God is spirit. Worship God in spirit and in truth.
14:30 Jesus Christ himself says that. And it says that in different ways in different places in the Bible. So now we must worship Jesus Christ in truth, in worship.
14:39 That means, you see, therefore, if we don’t have candles, if we don’t have incense, if we don’t have flowers, okay, no problem. You are worshipped first in spirit and in truth. There are people who can’t afford next meal.
14:50 This current meal they can’t afford. So how are they going to buy all this? They worship in spirit and in truth. Worship in spirit and in truth.
14:58 So now. So what do you do here? Now he says, if I go willfully and deliberately sin, there’s no more atonement for sin. That means the blood sacrifice on the cross cannot be applied for me.
15:10 But what I can expect, he says, but kind of awful and terrifying expectation of divine judgment, the fury of fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries. Brothers and sisters, if you say you’re a Christian. If I say I’m Christian, I continue deliberately, willfully sinning.
15:31 I better fear God because there is already written in Hebrews that I can only expect an awful and terrifying expectation of divine judgment. The fury of a fire and burning rot which will consume the adversaries now this is a difference between Love God, fear God Love God, fear God we need our wisdom and we continue sinning we better fear God Fear God and fear God don’t fear the man, don’t fear the devil because they can only kill your body God says the other God can do everything, destroy everything so now but once we come to Jesus Christ we love God, we love God Love Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray all of you have understood this and we pray and worship Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth wherever we are.
16:16 Those who are listening to this. Sometimes you’re so broke, so broken and no money, no nothing even to take a bus to church maybe. Oh, but somebody has given you this script and you’re hearing Worship Jesus Christ with spirit and in truth wherever you are he accepts and receives your heartfelt prayer in the name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 25-9-2015 Lord told me. Really, the Lord told me to do this. Really, the Lord told me. Really, really told you.
00:16 Now, brothers and sisters, this question is a very, very important question. Because Jesus become a fad, a fad, a style. Everybody going, Lord told me.
00:25 Lord told me. Lord told me. Now, yes, definitely the Lord speaks, but not the way many people are doing.
00:34 Not the way, for instance, you know, we know you know, if you go and search even the news over the years, some murderer will tell you, God told me to kill so and so. God told the Lord told me to kill so and so. That’s not true.
00:53 Just because Deborah says God told him to kill somebody. It’s not true. It’s not scriptural, it’s not what God said in the written word.
01:00 So which Lord is speaking to him then? There are times and there are cases. I think I remember one case. I think one woman killed her children.
01:10 And she said the Lord told certainly that Lord that she is hearing is not Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now, the question I put is really my question always really, because it will be completely beset. For instance, sometimes, many times, actually many times the person the murderer will tell the devil told me that we can agree why God said the devil came to steal, kill and destroy.
01:39 And do not give the devil a foothold. That we can agree. But God telling you to kill somebody.
01:46 Now, obviously it’s extreme cases, so you say no. But there are other things I’ve heard over the last 20 years, ministering. There are a couple of times, at least two at a time, if not three.
01:59 One woman tells me that the Lord told her to divorce the husband. And then I start checking the scriptures for her to show under these conditions, only God hates divorce. But under this condition you can divorce because if the person has committed adultery, like in my case, my wife could have divorced me and she would have been right.
02:20 But she didn’t do that. She hung on to the marriage. Now, there are certain conditions.
02:25 For instance, if your life is threatened, the husband is coming drunk and whacking you. And you, yeah, you can run because you have to run the self preservation, you have to preserve life. God has given you life.
02:36 The husband didn’t give you life. The God Almighty, Jesus Christ, the son of the living God gave you life. And of course you have to protect that.
02:44 You have to protect your children. There are certain conditions. But to come and say, the Lord spoke to me and I want a divorce.
02:52 I know it’s over. The Lord spoke it’s a lie of the devil and some other Lord is speaking to her. If she’s actually hearing the Lord, some Lord, or she’s actually wanting her own heart desire and using God’s name.
03:08 That is why in Exodus 27, remember, the old Testament, I’m telling you, has not been abolished. It’s not abolished. It has been fulfilled.
03:17 Whatever we need to do in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ has accomplished it. But the Old Testament is not abolished. But God calls it the ministry of death.
03:28 Because people couldn’t do what he’s told to do there. Do this, this, this to get to heaven, you do these rituals. You do this Sabbath and all that couldn’t do.
03:40 So Jesus completed all that for us on the cross. And now it’s a new Testament of life. Ministry of life.
03:48 But the Old Testament still exists. The commands that means God says Exodus 20:7. It says you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
03:58 That is irreverently. I am reading my amplified irreverently. In false affirmations.
04:05 In false affirmations means God told me. God said this or in ways that impunish the character of God blasphemes his name. It makes his name look terrible.
04:14 It makes his name look doing wrong things like God is making you wrong things like God told me the murder. That’s rubbish, man. So.
04:24 Or the Lord told me the divorce. It impunges the character of God. It’s not God who’s telling you.
04:31 For the Lord will not hold guiltless nor leave unpunished the one who takes his name in vain. Now let me read that the Lord this Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Lord God Almighty will not hold guiltless. That means he will hold you guilty nor live unpunished.
04:52 He will punish. There’s no hesitation from here. If you keep on doing this.
04:57 Suppose accidentally you told this oh God or something you know in vain you took it. Sorry, Lord. You will be convicted by the Holy Spirit.
05:06 Your conscience will convict you and you’ll ask for mercy. And he loves you. He will wash away your sin.
05:13 Because confess with your mouth. Believing in your heart. He will wash you.
05:18 But you have to ask forgiveness. Whenever you know you have sinned already, ask for forgiveness. Come boldly to the throne of grace.
05:27 He says, come boldly to the throne of grace. Don’t run away from Jesus Christ. Don’t run away from Father God.
05:33 Come boldly through Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness. And he will forgive you. He is a loving God.
05:39 But if you continue Using the name of God in vain. God said this, the Lord said this, the Lord said this, the Lord said that. And Lord doing.
05:46 There are a lot of people doing this. They will take a scripture. I’ll come to that later.
05:51 So the Lord said, God said, you’re taking the name of God in vain. In vain. So what are the times when the Lord actually has said which will match? First you have to check scripture.
06:05 Such Scripture. John 14:26, the King James Version, I’m reading. But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he, the Holy Spirit will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
06:24 John 14:26 says, the Holy Spirit will bring to remembrance all things as I’ve said to you, that I have said to you. Who has said to us? Jesus Christ. So what he will bring to remembrance all things that he has said to us.
06:36 What he has said to us is in the Bible. It’s a written word of God. But to know and what the Holy Spirit going to do bring to remembrance, that means we already have it in us.
06:48 How to have it in us? You have to read the Bible or listen to the scriptures in audio or teaching or somebody teaching or whatever. Or you listen to audio, better listen to audio on and on and on. You listen to the New Testament first and then all the word of God would enter to you.
07:03 All what Jesus Christ has said will enter to you in the Gospels. And then whenever an issue arises, Jesus Christ promises this that the Holy Spirit will bring the remembrance. Many people who do not know scripture are simply saying, the Lord said this, the Lord said that, brother and sister, I’m speaking to you is very dangerous.
07:26 Very, very, very dangerous. Why? The Lord says in Exodus 20:7 that he will still hold you guilty and you will still be punished for doing this. He, he protects and preserves his Name.
07:40 The Name above all names. The name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The name above all names.
07:46 Every knee shall bow at the mention of his name. And you go, anyone of the these persons who are doing this are in trouble. Step by step what the devil will do take control and begin to confuse them.
08:01 And their life will be no peace. And then people will not like you. Because you are saying, the Lord said this, the Lord said that, the Lord said this.
08:10 People will simply say, you are a liar. Why you’re saying things that are not. Those who know scripture will know that you are simply talking something else is talking through you.
08:21 Or you’re purposely using the name of God in vain. And they will begin to stay away from you because they know you are lying. The Lord said this.
08:29 The Lord said that. So you have to examine yourself. That is why first humble yourself.
08:34 God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. God opposes the proud. Brothers and sisters, any one of you doing this, ask for mercy straight away.
08:43 Ask for forgiveness. Purpose in your mind to change today that you will stop saying this. You will check Scripture whenever you believe the Lord has spoken to you.
08:54 This is the first thing you must do. I repeat, whenever you think the Lord Jesus Christ has spoken to you, the first thing you’ll do is go and search for scriptures. 2.
09:05 Take counsel with two or three other brothers and sisters who who know Scripture. Also godly counsel. Not going to take counsel with everybody also saying, Lord told me this.
09:15 Lord told me that. No take from people who know Scripture. You search Scripture and take counsel from people who know Scripture.
09:23 And together you examine and then you come to a valued judgment whether the Lord Jesus Christ actually said this to you. If it is not backed up by Scripture, repeat, if not backed up by Scripture, that means some other Lord is speaking to you. Brother and sister, your own mind may be speaking to you.
09:43 Your own desire of your heart may be speaking to you. You have to, if you’re sincere in following Jesus Christ, you have to do this because it’s a command. Examine and test and evaluate your own selves.
09:56 2nd Corinthians 13:5 1st Corinthians 8:2. If you think you know something, you do not know anything. As you should, as you ought to know, you do not know anything.
10:06 1st Corinthians 8:2 2nd Corinthians 13:5 is examine yourself unless you are counterfeits. And then of course love your neighbor as yourself. There are people who go around telling, the Lord told me, gave me this word for you.
10:21 They take a scripture, a promise of God and tell the sister or brother. Yes. If it is relevant, you have to say, if the Lord told you to go and tell her.
10:30 Now the question isn’t scripture, right? The promises of God are for everyone who has accepted Jesus Christ promises, right? So you by telling the Lord told me to go and tell you that this is a scripture for you. You have to examine, is it your own heart wants to get recognition? What’s the intention of your heart? Is it wants recognition? Recognition that I told her the scripture? No. So I feel good.
10:56 You feel good. This is not going to solve the problem. God wants us to be sincere, truthful, Jesus Christ and the way, the truth and life.
11:07 So you must come to the way. You have come to Jesus. Many have come to Jesus, but they do not walk in the truth.
11:13 Second part is truth. I am the way, the truth and life. If you do not walk in the truth, you are not going to get life.
11:19 Because there are three things here. Come to the way. The way is Jesus Christ.
11:23 2. He is the truth. Walk in the truth.
11:26 He commands us. Keep his commandments. Love him means keeping his commandments.
11:30 And then you have life. This thing you have to follow. Now brothers and sisters, anybody who misled in doing this, Today is the day for you to examine yourself.
11:38 Now there is in Hebrews 4:12. Hebrews 4:12. First I am reading from the Catholic version.
11:44 Hebrews 4:12. Indeed the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any two edged sword.
11:51 Piercing until it divides the two edged sword. You know the word of God is sharper than any two edged sword. No twist sword on earth is sharper than the word of God.
11:51 Piercing until it divides soul from spirit. Joined from marrow is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Is able to judge.
12:14 Now I am going to use it from amplified to get a bigger meaning. The more spread out meaning. For the Word of God is living and active and full of power.
12:23 Full of power. Why? The word of God is Jesus Christ full of power. What power? Power of Christ.
12:27 Power of Christ. Now we are having power of Christ daily. Making it operative, energizing and effective.
12:35 So it will energize, it will operate. Energized and effective. It is sharper than any two.
12:40 A sword penetrating. As far as the division of the soul and spirit. Why must the soul and spirit divided or separated? Because the complete person is made of what spirit being? And here’s the soul.
12:54 And of course it’s in the body and of joints and marrows. The deepest parts of our nature. Exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13:05 This is God’s word. God’s word will expose and judge the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. Exposing the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13:12 Exposing the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. To whom? To you? To me. If I’m looking for the Word of God, if I’m truthful and check the Word of God.
13:28 The Word of God will expose and judge the very thoughts and intentions of my heart. It will expose and judge the intentions and thoughts of my heart. Then I know my heart is thinking like this.
13:42 It is wrong. The Lord didn’t say this. If some other demonic being is telling me something and my mind is telling me Something.
13:51 But certainly our Lord Jesus Christ didn’t say this. Because the Lord Jesus Christ has said something else in the written word. You shall not divorce except for this disease.
14:01 I hate divorce. Obviously. The Lord said.
14:03 The Lord said. Lord said to divorce is him. And I will plead with them.
14:07 You know, I pleaded with these women. Never listen. Never listen.
14:13 Wreck the family. Family Ratta. So what to do? But the Lord says, very simple.
14:19 He will not let you go guilt. Will not let you go guiltless or go unpunished. So these persons will be punished and will be guilty.
14:29 God will hold them guilty under Exodus 27. They’ll be held guilty and they’ll be punished. And in the meantime, what you sow, you will reap.
14:37 Rule comes into place. What you sow, you shall reap. The devil knows you’re using.
14:42 If I’m using it, the devil knows I’m using the name of God in vain. Again and again. And here and there it will attack me.
14:49 Why? I’ve given him a foothold. That is why Jesus said, do not give the devil a foothold. Do not give the devil a foothold.
14:56 Because he walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Devour means swallow. He is out to swallow me, so I should not give him a foothold.
15:06 How do I not give him a foothold? By checking the word of God. And when you keep on learning and listening to the word of God, the Holy Spirit will bring to memory all things that are spoken by God, by Jesus Christ. And immediately my heart will know, my mind will know.
15:25 I will know. My spirit mind will know that what my heart and mind thinking that the Lord spoke is not true. So even when you want to go and give somebody to edify them, this word of God is for them.
15:35 They are suffering. Tell them, brother and sister, let’s use this word for you today, why don’t we? Why don’t you meditate on this word and purpose in your heart and God will build you up. The idea is to send them to Jesus Christ.
15:48 Send them to Jesus Christ. Not for them to focus on you. Oh, he gave me word.
15:52 This person gave me word. This pastor gave me a word. Oh, this sister gave me a word.
15:57 And every time come back word, come back word, they become beholden to you. God hates that. God hates people beholden to others.
16:07 He wants him, everybody be turned to him. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today is the 24th of September 2015. Power of Christ daily titled Footloose and Fancy Free. Footloose and Fancy Free.
00:16 Now today is the day my friend Shantakumar’s funeral is today. So of course a lot of things are going on from yesterday, from the day in fact going on for a week from the time he was in a serious condition. We ask for mercy from Christ.
00:37 The power of Christ gives us to know and believe that when we ask for mercy from Christ, mercy is shown to us. So we ask for ourselves first now and for others. Love all that command you cannot get out of it.
00:53 Because if you really love Jesus Christ, he said if you love me, keep my commandments. And what are his commandments? His commandments he said are not burdensome. They are easy to do.
01:04 Why he has empowered us to do. That’s why it is easy to do without him. Under the Old Testament there is no power to do.
01:12 That’s why God calls the Old Testament ministry of death. The New Testament is empowered to do the ministry of life. We are empowered to do because he empowers to do.
01:22 Therefore his commandments can be kept. And what are his commandments? The Hebrew understanding is authoritative prescription. Prescription means like medicine being given.
01:32 If you do that, it’s medicine to our souls, to our life. You know we do that. Now this is the coughing of an eye.
01:41 I’m sorry brothers, but sometimes the cough becomes too much because when the haze I breathe in some particles have gone into the lungs and until they are dissolved and removed by the body it’s in the lungs. It’s not just a throat matter whereby we can take some cough syrup or clear the throat or something. It is in the lungs.
01:58 But Jesus has seen me through and my faith is in Christ for everything. The word you see the word footloose and fancy feet. Even before that let’s remind ourselves the critical scriptures.
02:12 If we think we know something, we do not know as we ought to know as yet. 2. Love your neighbour as yourself and you will live.
02:18 3. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6 he opposes the proud.
02:26 So we must be very clear about this. That’s not he opposes. You can say you are a Christian and you want to be proud.
02:32 He will oppose and we say no. If you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master, he won’t oppose you. If you truly accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and master, you won’t be proud in the first place.
02:45 If you have not truly accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and master in your heart. The heart will be proudful. When we say proud means our hearts are proud.
02:55 Our spirit man is of course Jesus Christ has come. Our hearts, our hearts will be trained. Now we have to accept Jesus Christ, confess by our mouth and believe in their heart.
03:07 If you believe in your heart that you submit to Jesus Christ from today, of course the pride will go and you will remember this. God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. In fact, he gives actually more and more grace to the humble.
03:20 Now therefore, let’s all command in the name of Jesus Christ. I command every spirit of pride to get out of me. Get out of me.
03:28 In the name of Jesus Christ. There must not be an ounce of pride in me. I curse it, I destroy it.
03:34 By the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. By the name of Jesus Christ. Everything in me must be humble.
03:40 Lord, first humble to your word. Humble to God means humble to your word, Lord, because you are the word is the son of the living God. It’s Jesus Christ.
03:49 The word is Jesus Christ. So humble to your word. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to be humble to the word of God.
03:56 And when God says, love your neighbour as yourself. Yes Lord, I accept it. I want to do that in the name of Jesus Christ.
04:05 And God says the Word is whatever the Word is given. We want to test ourselves, examine ourselves. He says, examine yourself.
04:12 I want to examine myself. Why I am humble to the word of God. And he says, if you think you know something, you do not know anything as you ought to know as yet.
04:21 So now all these little fundamental scriptures are important. Today we are talking about Footloose and fancy free. When I first came to the Lord, several years before that there was a movie called Footloose.
04:32 Footloose was a dance movie. So Footloose has done so well. So foot they considered footloose, but actually that’s not the meaning.
04:40 When I came to the Lord, everything, whatever he says I want to do. So footloose is I have no commitment higher than commitment to Christ. That means I can go anywhere, travel anywhere, get up and move straight away that I’m not saying, no, I can’t move here because I like this house.
05:01 I must stay in this house. He’s God said, go and stay in that other house. No, no, I must stay in this house.
05:06 I like this house. Foot loose immediately. Your foot is loose for Christ.
05:08 Your foot is loose for Christ. That means sometimes interview people ask are you able to travel for your job or not? Yes, I’M footloose and I can follow wherever my job goes like that. This footloose for Christ, fancy free means I do not have any commitments, I do not have any love, any emotional ties, any ties to anything or anybody higher than Christ, higher than Christ.
05:37 My emotion, everything is tied to Christ. That means I don’t have fancy for myself. Not my likes and not my wants and not my dislikes.
05:46 Even Lord, I don’t like this. No, Jesus said it means I like it Lord, I like this Lord. But God says, no, you don’t like this means no, I don’t like this.
05:58 I dislike this. Now fancy free. When God Jesus says this means yes Lord, something I liked before.
06:05 Now Jesus says no, that’s not good for you. Immediately, no, I do not want to do this. I command my heart and mind, you will not like this anymore.
06:14 Jesus Christ, your husband of your soul, the King of Kings, Lord and master and savior for you, says no, I command my heart in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore footloose and fancy free. I told myself very quickly after a few months in Christ, this is what I want, Lord, I am footloose and fancy free for you.
06:33 And I’ll tell people I am footloose and fancy free for Christ, whatever He says now, this simply means in the actual Word of God, let your will be done. Matthew 6:10 where the Lord’s Prayer is, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Now Jesus Himself let this cup not pass from my lips, but not my will.
06:58 But let Thy will be done. He told the Father. So now we tell Jesus, let thy will be done.
07:05 Now his will be done. Now this kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. We must remember this when we are praying for something for the country or for any country or any part of the world or whatever.
07:18 You must remember this scripture where Jesus taught the prayer, let your kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is heaven, not my will. And I see people praying for all kinds of things for their own countries because I read all of the we have people all over the world.
07:34 They are wanting things for a country, but they dare not say, let yout will be done. Let yout will be done. You know why many times we dare not say, let yout will be done because our heart doesn’t trust God to do what our heart likes.
07:54 So you believe if you say, let your will be done. And when Jesus decides to do something, you may not like it. So that is why our heart and mind will not Allow us to say, let yout will be done.
08:07 Because we are afraid when its will is done, it will become painful for our flesh. So we do not say, lord, bring me a wife or a husband and let yout will be done then. Or, I want a wife like this, like this, like this.
08:18 I want a husband this way, this way, this way. But actually, nobody wants to think, what kind of wife will I be. Am I the kind of wife, am I ready to be the kind of wife I’m supposed to be in Christ? Go and read Proverbs 31, where it talks about how a wife should be, but of course, still under the ministry of death.
08:39 That one, how a wife should be, but no power to become that. But go and read that and use the New Testament power to become the kind of wife who in Proverbs 31, can you imagine how this is used? Use the power, the ministry of life in the New Testament. Use the power there to become what God has told us, how we should be.
08:59 And all the Proverbs and all that to become that. So read the Old Testament to see how God tells us to be. And then go and get the power from the New Testament and be that.
09:09 The Old Testament by itself has no power. It’s called ministry of death. Therefore people couldn’t make it, couldn’t do what God told us to do there.
09:18 That’s why Jesus came and suffered like that. Let your will be done footloose and fancy free. Let your will be done footloose and fancy free.
09:26 Anything that my heart fancies. No, what Jesus wants comes first. Footloose.
09:32 Yes. Whatever one God may know, I’m not stuck here. What my job will say, what my boss will say, what my wife will say, what my husband will say, what my children will think, what my neighbor will think, what other people, Christian brothers.
09:44 And say what my relatives know what Jesus said. What did Jesus say regarding this matter to you? And move, move footloose, fancy free. Not what I like, what I like, what I like, what Jesus likes.
10:01 What does Jesus like me to do? He’s the husband of my soul. I want that. And how do we get there? In the name of Jesus Christ, commanding the heart and mind to change using his word.
10:11 Lord, your word says God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. I do not want to be proud. So you begin to look at that.
10:18 Any action you are doing, is it prideful. And then it begins to change. Because the word of God will change us.
10:24 You see, one of the things is my daughter and son in law and Grandchildren are all in Melbourne. And also at that time, when they first went there, there was no church there. But when God tells me to go to Melbourne, it has been winter now, later on, a church was God raised a church there also send me in winter.
10:50 Every time he makes me go, it will be winter and winter a few days I can take. In fact, I like some cold, some snow and all that Yallah, wonderful for a few days, but longer periods, sometimes five, six weeks. My gums will bleed and all kinds of things.
11:06 And. Oh, really? But when God says go, Jesus Christ says, go. The Holy Spirit says, go immediately.
11:14 I’ll go. I’ll just fix the dates and all. I’ll tell my daughter here to fix the etiquette and all.
11:20 And then after that I will see the dates. Five weeks, six weeks. Winter again, winter again.
11:28 It has always been in winter, never summer, never end of spring. Early spring, also useless because it’s still winter comes and spring comes. Melbourne weather is very uncertain every day now.
11:44 But when you go there many times the sun will come up for a couple of days to warm me up and I feel good. And everybody will say, you brought the sun. You brought the sun, Pastor.
11:53 You brought the Son, Papa. Thank Jesus. But somehow the grace will come.
12:00 You obey. You must have footloose and fancy free. Footloose and fancy free.
12:04 Let thy will be done. Let thy will be done. Any prayer you are doing, go back to let thy will be done.
12:10 You begin to trust him that his will is the best for you. If you don’t trust him that Jesus Christ’s will is the best for you. Are we really believing that he’s the husband of our soul? Are we really believing that he loves us? When actually thus have proved it? So, brothers and sisters, today, footloose and fancy free is a critical thing.
12:30 But you want to be scriptural and use only the scriptural words, let thy will be done. Let thy will be done. And then you be footloose and fancy free.
12:35 Let thy will be done. Nice to say, you better understand, you better be footloose and fancy free to obey. No looking at this one, that one just obey.
12:48 And then people may laugh at you. Maybe they’ll say, hey, there’s something wrong with this guy. But you will have peace in you.
12:54 Why you have obeyed the Son of the living God. You are willing to obey. And he will move you in your spirit, and he will move you.
13:02 And it’s a great place to be in the spiritual place, in the spiritual plane. It’s a great place to be in Complete obedience to Christ. And when you’re not obedient to Christ, there’ll be a peace leaving you.
13:14 There’ll be distress coming, there’ll be all that. But when you are in obedience to Christ, there will be great peace in you. Even though your body may be aching your lungs, particles from the face, and you are coughing in the morning and you find difficulty to get up in the morning and you still get up and drag your feet out there and know that this is the will of God for me.
13:34 I must get up and share what God has shown me and taught me and changed me. Share this with others so they can have a great life in the Spirit to do that. Now, peace.
13:47 As soon as you know when I, because of the haze and all my needs, may pain something pain, I start commanding it in Jesus name and all that, drag myself out of bed. Then when that happens, then soon enough get into the motion. The grace comes along and moves me along.
14:02 I sit here and record it. First I got to search some scriptures and search something what to say. I wait on the Lord what to say.
14:08 So when, when he gives me the thing, I build on that, look for scripture for it and then record it and send out. And you know what? After that, after that I’ll go make a coffee. And I feel good.
14:21 Can you imagine, brothers and sisters? I would have just coughed and coughed and coughed and the chest may be hurting, but I feel good. I feel good because the Lord, the son of the living God, the husband of my soul, Jesus Christ, is in me. And I feel joy that has given me work to do.
14:40 Even in this age, when I see my classmates and all they struggling what to do this and that, and they oh, I feel good. I feel good. I’m able to help people, able to give them what Jesus has given me and teach them and teach them to command everything out.
14:55 And then I see some people say, thank you, Pastor. Oh, thank Jesus Christ, thank Jesus Christ. And then somebody will write and say they are so, their life has changed.
15:04 Or somebody says their life has changed. I say, no, no, you have changed. God has changed you.
15:08 So brothers and sisters, today, doing the will of God, doing the will of God first let your will be done. Lord, move me to do. I want to be footloose and fancy free.
15:19 I don’t want to be connected to anything other than you. When you tell me something, my heart and all desire something else. No, I cut that in the name of Jesus Christ foot loose, I’ll get up and move, move, move.
15:31 Oh, winter in Melbourne. No, I will move in Jesus Christ’s name. I’ll move.
15:35 Oh, I may bleed in the mukum. Yes, I’ll move in the name of Jesus Christ’s name. Oh, I may have temperature in the winter.
15:42 No, I will move in the name of Jesus Christ’s name. Brothers and sisters, believe in Jesus Christ. He loves you.
15:49 He loves you. He loves you. And letting him.
15:53 And letting him say, let your will be done. Let your will be done. Therefore, when you’re praying for nations, let your will be done.
15:55 Let your will be done, Father, Let your will be done. Oh, and he’s got Bible says more than you can ask or think he’ll do for you. In the name of Jesus Christ, remember more than you can ask or think he’ll do for you.
