21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 2 November 2015. Brothers and sisters, this is an important topic because this deals with the human soul, the human weakness. And again some scriptures.
00:19 Again I’ll repeat the same scriptures. John 4:24. God is Spirit.
00:23 Those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Now we know yesterday scriptures that God says what we became men, men, men, men. Mankind exchanged the glory of God.
00:44 Glory of the incorruptible God. This is Romans 1:22 professing to be wise. They became fools because in 21 he says because although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were thankful.
00:58 That means we are ungrateful. No. So anything ungrateful got a big problem.
01:03 So I have a lot of ministry in ministry a lot of people I find over the years after knowing God, they are still very ungrateful. They will say praise God, praise God and all that. They still ungrateful to God.
01:15 They do all kinds of things opposite to God and then they also ungrateful to people. God has used to help them. But we who serve, serve unto the Lord.
01:25 Just like a wife submits to a husband as a service unto the Lord. As a submission unto the Lord. We serve the people as we passed.
01:34 Every servant must serve the people as their service to the Lord. So we don’t expect anything now. I got a bad cold last night.
01:44 A terrible night. Hardly could sleep, Temperature running and all that. Well, this is so.
01:49 Excuse the voice. The voice is terrible. Now last time I will say this kind of voice is Jim Reeves voice.
01:57 You know you can sing good songs. Because I’m poor singer actually. So I used to joke about that.
02:02 But now this kind of voice bothering me. Amen. So now brothers and sisters professing to be wise.
02:09 First of all, they are unthankful. People are unthankful. They did not glorify him as God or although they knew God, but became futile in their thoughts.
02:19 And their foolish hearts were darkened. Became foolish, futile. Thinking things that have never produced anything worthwhile.
02:26 Futile, useless. And their foolish hearts were darkened. Foolish looking after foolish things, chasing foolish things, professing to be wise.
02:35 They became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image. Image, not just idols or statues, into an image made like corruptible men and birds and four footed animals and creeping things. Brothers and sisters, this is a very
important scripture.
02:56 And I was like that. So when I’m telling brother, don’t do this, it’s like this scripture says this. Oh, this pastor is picking on me, brother.
03:04 I was worse. Okay, now thank Jesus. So thank the why I say Jesus Christ saved me from myself.
03:12 I was a big destructive force for myself and my family because if I just followed Christ earlier, this all wouldn’t happen. The mess wouldn’t take place. But I thank God in all things because it’s the mess that makes me follow Jesus Christ Rooted.
03:27 That means afraid to take one inch out of Christ. It’s like you know when you send something into space, anything into space, even a missile or a rocket or whatever. Let us say you want to reach a destination and the destination is some thousands of
miles into space.
03:46 And let’s say your calculation went wrong by 1 inch in direction it finally when it reaches a place it will be miles from the target. Why the 1 inch start difference here ends up miles from the target that’s slightly away from Christ will end up
miles away from Christ. Thereby we are fear the loss of our position in Christ.
04:11 Jesus said he’ll never leave forsakers. But we end up doing this mess we end up going in. Now brothers and sisters, false prophets.
04:21 In Matthew 24:24 false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive if possible. Even they lacked. And this is going on, you see for instance, pity, you know, sad.
04:34 For instance some when I came to the Lord soon after a couple of years later, there was a persecution that’s going on in Indonesia. People were killing. There were group fighting.
04:47 It could be considered ethnic. But at the same time they killing Chinese massacre. But at the same time some Chinese were Christians.
04:55 So it was also thinking they were killing Christians. It may also be just killing for economy reasons. I don’t know the entire story here but anyways and some of our brothers and sisters were being killed and we in the ministry, in the mission
groups and all we were hearing radio calls coming in, telephones turning in, worshipping and all that.
05:16 Now at that time a sign, a big cross supposed to have appeared over Jakarta. A big cross in the sky appeared over Jakarta. They say some even taken a picture to show what it looks like.
05:32 I’ve seen the picture but you know sisters pictures can be doctored and all that. Now every anyway can you imagine. So immediately the Christians begin to believe that oh, they will be saved, the people will be saved, our brother and sister will be
saved.
05:47 And all that didn’t happen. Our people perished, perished. But people were looking for signs in the sky.
05:58 It’s very sad when we begin to look for signs. And God always told us what told us in Matthew 12:39,38. But he answered to them and said, an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign.
06:14 But no sign will be given to it except the sign of prophet Jonah. Jonah went three days and three nights in the belly of great feet. Then Jesus went three days into the grave and came out.
06:25 That’s the sign now. And he calls these people who are looking for a sign an evil and adulterous generation. Evil? No, that means we are looking for a sign other than what Jesus has said.
06:39 Any sign we are looking for that is not in line with scripture. He calls us evil, an adulteress. Now, this adultery is not what I physically were committing adultery, right? This is not this adulterous generation.
06:52 He is talking about spiritual adultery. He says, you come to me and say, I am your creator, I am your Father, I am your Savior. But you go and look for signs and all over the place you are committing spiritual adultery.
07:04 So until we understand the spirit world, we will get duped. Can’t. Now, brothers and sisters, this thing looking for a sign.
07:12 We must stop. Because we are worshipping in spirit and in truth. And he calls those looking for a sign an evil.
07:19 And adulterers. Evil means evil against him. Adulterers means we are committing spiritual adultery against him.
07:25 We are having some other God in our heart. The sign is in our heart. First of all, the denomination, not the issue here.
07:32 You must want to follow Christ. Now, as I begin to talk like these, some people get offended. The question is, you get offended.
07:39 You ask yourself, I’m showing scripture. When I show scripture, don’t you think it’s necessary for you to read the scripture and come to your own understanding? If you have your own understanding, which is different from what I’m telling you, will
then decide. You will then find out.
07:54 I will also find out, brothers and sisters. But getting angry with another brother, brother like me, who’s now doing this is useless. In fact, he hurts you.
08:03 Why? God says, if you’re angry at a person without a cause, when he’s showing scripture. When I’m showing scripture, obviously that. Of course, if you’re angry with me for showing scripture like this, then I put another segment called Christian
murderers.
08:16 Jesus Christ calls those who are angry with a brother without, of course, he’s a murderer. So don’t do that for your own sake. Now I’ll continue teaching because this is the truth.
08:27 You see, the scripture do not look for sign. And when you look for sign, your heart begin to look. Sign you’ll be deceived.
08:34 For instance, there are churches where suddenly one chap will come and he’ll preach and then throw some gold dust and say, God gave gold dust. Gold dust appeared. Do you know, many times they go and test.
08:45 In fact, all the time there’s not a single tested record to show that dust was actually gold. It was then turned out to be some other metal and some imitation or whatever. By that time they’ll take a child or somebody and say, you get gold.
08:58 The child will say, yes. And somebody say, I got gold. And they’ll be jumping and jumping and jumping and all that.
09:03 Now remember this. Why would Jesus Christ give gold dust? What is the purpose? When our God does something, there’s a purpose, his purpose. Now let’s go back to the purpose.
09:14 Jesus came. He said book from Isaiah. Isaiah he read when ministry was to start.
09:20 Came to set the captive free. Came to set the captive free. Now how does a dust appearing in a congregation set the captive free? O they will believe in God more.
09:33 Now then we come back to this scripture. They have changed the glory of the incorruptible corruptible God into an image made like corruptible man. Now why? They are looking for gold, isn’t they? That means man’s heart is always looking for something
but not willing to obey and believe.
09:50 He died and rose again for our sins. That’s all he wants us to do. And believe also.
09:55 If you cannot, you can command your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ to believe. It’s simple said. That’s why Apostle Paul said what the thing I want to do, I must do.
10:05 I don’t do the thing I shouldn’t do, I end up doing. Who will save me from this? Oh, from this wretched world, wretched situation. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
10:13 I’m telling you all in the name of Jesus Christ. You can change your conduct. So when God does something, he wants you to become chaste virgin.
10:21 Your heart must become souls. Must become chaste virgin bride to Christ. That’s the anger.
10:26 But if your heart is going to the. If more gold is shown, people running there where their heart is and the gold, isn’t it. Oh, they’ll get something.
10:33 I’ll get something. Why do people go to the signs and wonders? They want to receive something, but they’re not going to Jesus Christ who will provide for you. It’s easier to go here than listen to some people, but not willing to pray in the name of
Jesus Christ.
10:48 Command and command your heart and mind. Examine ourselves to see whether we are right or wrong. So this examining ourselves and commanding our heart and mind is a necessary part.
11:00 Now there are others who will say, okay, they will take. Now Jesus, you know when he did a miracle, okay, take the miracle with the baskets of bread and fish, he fed everybody, right? It’s a purpose. There’s a purpose.
11:14 The people were starving. Then he pitied them. If they walked back, they followed me already.
11:19 They walked back to go and buy food in the nearest village. It’ll take many hours and they’re already with me so long. And they are starving and they will faint on the way.
11:28 So I will make a miracle and give them bread and fish now. But giving them gold can feed them false gold. So these are not sound mind anything, any sign and wonder.
11:40 They are giving what is the purpose? And many, in fact, all the times we know about this, the signs and wonders don’t work. This person doesn’t change from insight to worship God in spirit and truth and to obey Jesus Christ. And so character doesn’t
change.
11:57 They go signs and wonders. And then holy laughter, jump, jump, jump, jump. Holy laughter, jump.
12:02 All these are not true righteousness, peace and joy. Then there are others. Oh, we’ll organize a trip to Israel and look at the grave where Jesus was walked, the path and all that.
12:15 If you’re led by the Spirit of God and the Spirit of God tells you go there, then I will tell you, you better go. Because if you really believe God has told you, you better go. Because that’s what God has told you.
12:25 But I’m telling you, brothers and sisters, if you have fun to go and you settle in your spirit to go, you go to this tours. But what happened? The poor fellow who cannot go, can’t afford, he’s got family to feed. What happens to him? What happens to
her? And actually, when you go there, you know what the angel told finally, when they went to, when the disciples ran there, he is not here anymore.
12:48 He has risen. He is not in the grave. So why do we go to a hole where he is not there anymore? So we have a sensation of holiness, righteousness.
12:57 When you walk that area that is physical feeling, in spirit and in truth, you worship the joy that comes into your soul. When all the world around you is in darkness and you are suffering and your heart is being ripped from your. From your body, you
cannot take it, it’s crushing.
13:15 You feel like you’re dying. You cannot even breathe because the tragedy around you is so great. And you call Jesus Christ of Nazareth, have mercy on me, Lord Jesus.
13:25 And Jesus turns up and releases your problem. And you feel, ah, I’m released. I feel peace, my Lord.
13:33 You are the husband of my soul. I’m grateful, Lord Jesus. I’m grateful you, merciful God, merciful Lord.
13:39 Therefore you have to practice in righteousness, spirit and in truth. Seek ye the kingdom of God’s righteousness, peace and joy first. Whereas all these things will be added, added.
13:50 Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters. Today let’s not fall into an evil, adulterous generation. Let’s not go and look for the signs.
14:01 When God puts a sign, it will be so clear as it. And there are people. God said, do not call anyone a rabbi.
14:08 Do not be called a rabbi. In Matthew, he says, but there are persons who call themselves rabbi. Jesus is telling the followers not, do not.
14:16 And they say they are followers of Christ. Rabbi this and rabbi that. And say, look for the blood moon and the blood moon, really not blood.
14:22 And you have to struggle to come to conclusion that it’s actually a blood moon. When Jesus creates a blood moon, it will be so clear, everybody will be shocked, Shocked. Brothers and sisters, when God creates a sign, it will be so drastic.
14:34 But that also. In fact, he said, Satan comes with lying signs and wonders. Lying signs and wonders.
14:41 We must be afraid of that also. So therefore we must sow in the truth with him so he can settle us when the trouble comes. When the delusion comes, deception comes.
14:50 In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
