00:01 Praise Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily. 30 August 2015. Sunday, wonderful day.
00:10 Get up. No matter what issues happened yesterday, no matter God says the mercies are new every morning. Jesus gives you new mercies, new power.
00:20 You receive his power and live this life and life more abundantly. Now let’s start again today. The power of Christ daily is power of Christ, the righteousness of Christ, the faith of Christ, the glory of Christ,
the love of Christ.
00:35 It’s all of Christ that is now in us. Christ is in me. Christ must be formed in my heart.
00:42 My soul must be permanently formed, must be molded. But now Christ is in me in the spiritual part and is moulding and forming in my soul part, in my heart part. Now it’s same thing with you the daily.
00:55 You’re meditating on the power of Jesus Christ, his word. And you’re thinking of the conduct, your conduct measured against his word. And you’re looking at the suffering he went through, the sacrifice he went
through.
01:06 But now he’s not in the cross anymore. This is very important because all our lives we have been looking. All our lives, all our lives we have been looking at cross.
01:15 He’s hanging there. He’s hanging there. He’s hanging there.
01:18 Subconsciously, subconsciously, thorn bushes are formed. That is a powerless Christ just hanging there. Oh, Christ.
01:25 Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He rose again. He took all the power of Satan out and gave us the power to cast out evil spirit in Jesus Christ’s name.
01:36 That is the power of Christ. And now we know so many things. If you’ve been listening to this over the days or weeks or months or whatever, you will know so many things.
01:46 Go Back to the graceoflife.com the power of Christ. There’s a blog there, whatever you call it, and you will get all the past ones. Ask the moderators.
01:56 The powerful words of Christ and will edify you. You build you up. You can live life with the hope, with the future, not with broken and lost and hopelessness.
02:09 No, there is hope in Christ. And hope in Christ will never fail, brothers and sisters. That’s the fact.
02:14 Hope in Christ will never fail. Now today the topic is obey to qualify or qualify to obey. Obey to qualify or or qualified already qualified to obey.
02:27 Yesterday we dealt with the scripture, Colossians 1, 10, 13. He qualified us, Father. God qualified us.
02:36 Now brothers and sisters, one of the things that I have been seeing over the period of time, the scriptures that are written, sometimes it is more understanding for us when we read backwards. I Don’t know why. And I
was reminded by this when I heard another sermon.
02:53 That preacher also said he read it backwards. One bunch of verses. He read it backwards.
03:00 Made more sense because I think maybe the way the Hebrew was written or whatever, or the Greek was written, I do not know, but. Or the way the English is being written, I do not know. But the point again is it made
more sense to read it backwards.
03:17 Yesterday we read Colossians 1, 10, 13. Now I’m going to read the same Colossians 1, 10,13. Now first I’ll read it the way we read it yesterday.
03:27 Then I’m going to read it the way from behind. 10 to 1310 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 strengthened with all
might according to his glorious power for all patience and long suffering with joy.
03:53 12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 he has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of Son of His
love. So I read fast 1013 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might according to his glorious
power for all patience and long suffering with joy.
03:54 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be the partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His
love. Yeah, wonderful.
04:37 And we know he qualified us yesterday. Settled he qualified us. We don’t go and do things to be qualified.
04:45 This is all. I’ll come to that later. Now let me read the other way around.
04:49 Let me read Colossians 13:10 backwards. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Oh, praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
05:02 This is the first foundation. This verse will first give the foundation in the English understanding. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us, translated us, transformed us, communicated us,
transferred us, moved us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
05:21 That’s the first. I’m reading 13 verses instead of 10. 13.
05:24 Now I’m reading 12. Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. So I’ll read 13 and then 12 together.
05:38 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Now I’ll read 11 strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, for all patience and long suffering with joy that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God. Brothers and sisters, now the meaning must have become quite clear for you now.
06:12 Why? First he took us from darkness and made us into the kingdom of Son of His love in kingdom of light. Then it says, he qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints and the light of all the other
believers. Believers of Christ.
06:28 Then he says, strengthen with all might according to his glorious powers we have been strengthened. Then he says in 10 that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him. Now we read the way it was written, 10
to 13, starting 10, you may walk worthy of the Lord pleasing Him.
06:47 It may give the impression to our fallen nature heart that we must walk fully pleasing him before he can translate us. It’s not true, but actually the way is written so subconsciously we may believe that you may
walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might according to his glorious power. For for all patience and
longsuffering, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints and the light.
07:23 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. It’s the same meaning. He has transferred us.
07:30 He has qualified us so that we can walk fully. But because of our fallen nature and because of the way we have been trained and because of the way our mind takes understanding of Scriptures over the time and
understanding of anything we read in English because we’ve been trained in English. Now we put the first things first.
07:48 He delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. First focus on that, brothers and sisters, we focus on this. He has delivered us.
07:58 He has transferred us from darkness into light. Then, giving thanks to the Father, what do we do? Give thanks to the Father who has done what? Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance? Because Jesus
Christ is the firstborn of many and he is calling us brother. 11 strengthened with all might we have been strengthened and 10 that you may walk worthy.
08:22 Why all this? Why transfer from darkness to light? Why qualified us? Why Strengthened us so that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him. So which comes first? Which comes first is simple. What comes
first is we are qualified to obey.
08:42 Very important, we are qualified to obey. We are qualified with the power of Jesus Christ. With the blood of Jesus Christ.
08:50 The faith of Jesus Christ. Not my faith. My faith is just believing in the faith of Jesus Christ to obey.
08:57 Wonderful. Brothers and sisters, if you can grasp this, I pray in Jesus Christ’s name, you will listen to this again and again and read this Colossians one backwards 10 to 13. Read 1310 again and again.
09:09 You will get the grasp. Grasp it. You have already been qualified and now you can obey.
09:16 You can obey because you have power to obey, brothers and sisters. That is why people are suffering. Even in religious Christianity, people are suffering.
09:23 They are trying to obey and then qualify. If I go and give put some flowers arrangement, then God will show me favorite. No, this is like any religion.
09:34 But Jesus Christ, the wonderful God, loving God died he did for all that first he suffered, died, gave his blood, gave his blood, gave his name and called me Christ. Theon belonging to him. Not American, but Christ
Therm.
09:52 Brothers and sisters, this you have to grasp the essence of power in the spirit. That is why, for instance, we know what we know. We know the scriptures as all scriptures.
10:03 For instance, in married life, number of times we find. Let’s say in what you call in Proverbs 21. Proverbs 21, for instance, it says if you live with a woman who’s quarrelsome.
10:18 Quarrelsome all the time, quarrelling with you. This is brothers and sisters, the s. Some of these sisters also who have not been converted have a problem.
10:28 They keep on quarreling with the husband. Quarreling with the husband, contentious, vexing the fella, in fact, until the husband that the so called Christian woman may be doing this, you know, because she doesn’t
understand. She has been empowered to get out of this.
10:42 I’ll come to the solution later. Now the b. The Proverbs 21 says it’s better to live in the wilderness in the desert.
10:50 Better to live in the desert. Why? Because this woman is so quarrelsome, contentious. And the proverb says it’s better to live in the desert.
10:57 Can you imagine if you’re living with. If a person who’s an unbelieving husband is living with the so called believing wife, claiming to be Christian and doing this nonsense. But I can understand her.
11:09 I can love her. Why I understand. She doesn’t know.
11:13 She is trying to do what she’s trying to. She has no power. She has no power.
11:20 Things are vexing her, so she continues to do that. And you accept her husband. Now then, Proverbs 27 says it’s like a continual dropping, a drip, drip, drip, water dropping.
11:31 You know, Proverbs 27 says the woman who’s bitter tongued and contentious, quarrelsome and nagging and nagging keeps on drip, drip, like a drip tap that’s gone, cannot close. Drip, drip, drip, whole night. How you
hear? Cannot stand the hearing.
11:48 Right now that kind of woman, he says the woman that is contentious, quarrelsome, nagging is like a water that drips, drip, drip, drip, drip. Now this is God is saying, praise Jesus. So sister, anywhere you are,
watch ourselves.
12:05 We shouldn’t do this, we shouldn’t do this. We have power. I’ll come to the solution later.
12:10 Now the drip, drip, drip is such a nuisance in the world. In wars they do this like Japanese war, they’ll get a fellow tied up and then they drop. Even in all these, you know, these torture chambers and all,
wherever is happening nowadays they can put the tap on top and drop, drop on the head.
12:28 After a few hours of drip, drip, the devil go mad. So nagging woman is like that. God is telling.
12:36 So sister, if you are a nagging woman right now, you better now understand your Jesus has given you power to overcome nagging. Now when the woman is nagging, it is because something is bothering you. Something is
bothering you.
12:48 So now I tell the sisters, now today you have power over the body of the husband. Wife has power over the body of the husband. So now, and likewise so brothers, if you are having a married woman who is not a
believer or even a believing wife who is doing some of these things, you have power over the body.
13:13 Now this is a spirit, a nagging spirit, a waxing spirit, a contentious spirit, a quarrelsome spirit. But if a woman is quarrelsome, nagging and all, there is something bothering her. So if you are the believing
husband, you have to investigate, examine why.
13:32 Is it something you are doing that causing this? Or is this from the past of the woman’s life that has caused this and formed some thorn bushes there and forever she can’t get out of this. Maybe she is nagging,
nagging because she saw all her sisters, all the husbands have deserted them. Maybe, maybe she came from a broken family.
13:51 Maybe she thinks you will leave her and she’s nagging you now thinking that’s a solution because she doesn’t understand the power of Christ. Now in such a case, now let’s look at it. If you have a nagging or a
quarrelsome or an unreasonable or any kind of husband.
14:07 Now I’m talking to sisters. Now, if you have such a husband, I have ministered to so many over the years. And they can be set free when you must first of all learn to forgive.
14:18 You close your eyes and go back and think why you married. Remember the joy that time. Why you married.
14:22 Remember the joy at that time. You are remembering. You are thinking of the joy.
14:29 Now, this is the same man you married. Now the man has gone wrong, gone rogue because the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. And he has his own set of troubles and problems.
14:39 He doesn’t have Christ. And he is now struggling there. And he is reacting in a manner that he cannot.
14:45 Now we have empowered, we are qualified, we can love him. Now, your heart won’t agree. Your heart will simply say, this man is doing this.
14:51 The man is doing this. Now you look at the cross now. Now Jesus is not on the cross anyway, but you’re looking at the cross to see his suffering.
14:59 And there he is telling, forgive them, Father. The same people who are killing him, who have torn his flesh, torn his beard, torn his face, and he’s hanging naked there as a blob of flesh. And he’s in pain and
suffering.
15:13 And yet he’s saying, forgive them, Father. They do not know what they do. They know not what they know what they do.
15:20 Forgive them. Now you are a brother of Christ. You are a brother of Christ.
15:25 You are empowered. You are qualified. You can do this.
15:29 Now keep thinking of that. And Lord, I want to do. I want to forgive my husband.
15:31 I want to love my husband. And love has been poured upon you. You’re qualified to do this.
15:37 You meditate on this Word again and again. And if you don’t forgive your husband, God will not forgive you. You also know that.
15:43 Meditate on the words. Looking at the Word again, you will be transformed. And you feel sorry for him.
15:48 You feel pity for him. And then you command all the evil spirits get out of his body every day, every day. And he will change in the hope.
15:56 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
