    00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 13 July Monday titled Faith Seeing with your heart. Seeing with your heart yesterday because I’ve recorded and the thing was not posting because the length was
    too long. So I had to re record.

    00:22 When I re recorded I ran like a mail train. I think I went so fast. But today we hope we can get a little slower and people can our brothers and sisters can get into their hearts.

    00:33 Seeing with your heart. Now we have established God has established in our hearts to know that it is his faith faith of Jesus Christ that is in US 2. Faith is the substance of things.

    00:46 That is the title deed. Title deed to the house. We know we got title deed.

    00:50 Our names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Our title deed is the promises of God. Your title deed.

    00:50 Our names are written there because we believe Jesus Christ took our sins, died on the cross and gave us a new life and abundant life. Finished. And that one we must make our heart believe in the name of Jesus Christ.

    01:09 We continue commanding the heart to believe these things. The heart will believe because everything in the name of Jesus Christ will obey the truth. Now the evidence of things it was also established yesterday.

    01:22 The evidence of things is the proof. The proof is the word of God. The word of God.

    01:26 That means we know if God said by my stripes you were healed. That’s the proof now. But what is it God telling us in everything? Ask in prayer.

    01:39 Believing and of course not doubting. Believing and not doubting. Ask in prayer.

    01:45 What is there to ask when he’s already given it? So we are not going to use our faith. We are using faith of Jesus Christ. But so mistakenly people think our faith will make it worth we have faith, more faith.

    02:00 Something doesn’t work, we think we go and get more faith and God will do it for us. Now if that’s the case, means Jesus has died on the cross for nothing. No, he died on the cross to call my sins gave me all power and he is because of his power.

    02:18 Now the question if I can use more and more faith then only those people who can use more and more faith will get things from God. Not true. It’s the faith of Jesus Christ in us.

    02:29 It’s already given us these things we have to get to manifest in the physical because they are sitting in the spiritual. They are sitting down there is given. Now we are making come down here now.

    02:40 Come down and be seen in the fire. Five senses. The problem is our five senses have blocked this spiritual matter existing here now we should not bother with our eyes, for instance, even worship singing songs, worshiping.

    02:58 Now if we better to close our eyes when we are worshipping singing songs, why first of all, we are already hearing good music and all is part of our physical senses. Now if we keep opening our eyes to see what’s going on the stage, people are
    dancing there and jumping and all that that will influence. We do not want that we are in spirit and in truth.

    03:20 Worship is spirit and in truth, you cannot get into spirit and in truth, if you are looking the physical allowing our five senses to senses. If five senses do this, yeah, we’ll have a temporary carnal experience, but not last. Now, before we go
    further, this scripture here, God says Ephesians 3:20.

    03:43 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. The power that works in us is Jesus. Power is the spirit of God, holy Spirit Power is God the same power that raised Jesus
    Christ from the grave, from the grave of the wicked.

    04:06 He raised him up. That’s the same power that works in us. So God is not depending on our power.

    04:12 He knows we couldn’t do it. That is why he sacrificed his son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now another few scriptures.

    04:20 I want to settle that first as I’m Learned now. John 8:12 it says, Jesus says, I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.

    04:31 Who, whoever follows me will never live in darkness. They will have the light that gives life. We must follow him.

    04:40 My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. How to hear his voice? Listen to the read the words of God first and meditate. And now and, and finally we must get into the eyes of our heart that where when we have in the eyes of our heart, we have the
    feeling, our thought, what we’re thinking and our feeling must become in line.

    05:00 Then the thing will begin to happen. Now, Matthew 5:14. Amazingly, there he said, I am the light of the world.

    05:10 Right in John 8:12. Then in Matthew 5:14 he says, you are the light of the world. You are, you are my brothers and sisters.

    05:20 I am the light of the world. And Matthew 5:16 he says, in the same way you should be light for other people. I’m using easy read.

    05:29 We have to be light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things that you do and praise your Father in heaven. Brothers and sisters, this is very important now that we believe in Jesus Christ and his power has come upon us.

    05:44 And now he says, you are the Light of this world. And that is why in affiance also you say the our eyes of understanding, our eyes of heart flooded with light. That means how do we flood with light? Jesus is the light.

    05:59 So the more you meditate on his words, the more you think of his words, the more you begin to develop love for him. How to develop? Ask him in the name of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, make me love Jesus completely. Make me love Jesus completely.

    06:16 And how do we love him? By keeping his commandments. Why do we keep the commandments? That’s a prescription. That’s a cure, the remedy for us.

    06:24 So thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now can you imagine this? Exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think. Think is imagining.

    06:32 You know the word. There’s imagination required here because our carnal self will tell us the bad news. Our eyes that we see, oh, it’s not well, this is not well, this is wrong, the finance is bad and all that story.

    06:47 Okay, finished. But now God is telling us he will do more than we ask or think. Now of course he says ask in prayer.

    06:58 Without doubting yesterday that the doubting is very clear. Doubting is what we are putting our faith in the other thing. So instead of putting our faith in what God has said in his word, our faith begins to move into what the world is telling us,
    what the doctor is telling us, what is all that.

    07:12 So, so it begins to. The faith begins to go this way and that way, this way and that way. That is doubting.

    07:18 And we command it in Jesus name. Therefore I commanded in Jesus name. We don’t want to believe this doubt.

    07:24 We have to keep on meditating on the word of God and the word of God. Finally it has to be inside our hearts and our understanding there understanding of the heart. And we have the feeling now what are we asking? Because he’s already said, like
    spine healing, by my stripes you were healed.

    07:41 It’s already said. So we are not asking that. We have to believe that.

    07:45 What we are asking is the benefit of that word, the benefit of the promise. The benefit of the promise. For instance, the title deed to the house we have the benefit is we stay in the house without the sun shining on us, hitting on us and roasting
    us and the rain protecting from the rain and the storms or whatever and the proper water to drink, we can cook inside that the benefits.

    08:10 So when we asking for health, don’t bother with that. You read the words that by his health, by his words, his promises are that by his stripes I am healed. So this must be told.

    08:25 And meditated upon. But then what he is asking us to ask or think. You begin to imagine how life will be, how life is.

    08:35 So you tell yourself this is how life, this is a reality. Because that is a reality in the spiritual plane. Now we have to bring the reality back into the manifest, the physical world.

    08:44 So you are thinking, you are walking properly, you are talking to your family, you’re going to work and you’re enjoying enjoying a holiday with your family. You are enjoying relationship with your children, you’re playing with your children. You
    are, you are talking to your wife or your husband.

    09:01 You are sitting imagining these scenes. You begin to think of. I am healed by the blood.

    09:06 It is there by stripes. I was healed, I was healed. You know you were healed.

    09:11 Now you begin to ask Lord Jesus Christ the name of Jesus Christ. I want this, this is what I’m asking, Lord. And he said he will be abundantly, exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think.

    09:11 Now you begin to think, think about these things and all same time ask in prayer without doubting. Because without doubting means bring them back to what God promised us. Not what the doctor or lawyer, whoever is telling this lie because they will
    tell, we have to hear and we are not going to be denied.

    09:42 When the doctor says, look, you got a lump on your leg. Yeah, yeah, we agree that. But we don’t look at that because we don’t feed the lump with our own spiritual power and grow.

    09:53 We’re going to make it dry out. We don’t feed the vala. We have to feed our soul with the words of God, with the words of Christ.

    10:03 We become light must be flooded in us, in our hearts. And then at the same time we believe Jesus Christ, we start doing good things to people, for people. We were saved by his grace, by his mercy.

    10:18 And now we want to do and for what? Save for what? To do good works. We don’t do good works to be saved because our good works will not be enough to save us. And we cannot wash away our sins.

    10:29 But we now saved. Now we got power of Jesus Christ. Now we want to do good works.

    10:35 Now next thing is this a science experiment took place many actually by imagining the muscles grew fellows imagining they’re running. They’re not running, you know, they’re just jogging. They’re not jogging by imagining and begin to get the feel.

    10:51 They use some videos or whatever and they begin to feel the running every day. After a while they’re having the same kind of muscle growth, similar muscle growth as the people actually jogging they said that they did that also for bodybuilders. The
    muscles grew without lifting weights by imagining.

    11:14 Then they done it for these basketball players without shooting any basketball. They began to imagine. They used your videos and all and make them imagine.

    11:23 Imagine. Finally when they start shooting the balls, the basketballs, they are shooting baskets. They were as successful as the other fellows in scoring.

    11:33 So God’s word is true. Our ask God, think our imagination. Eyes of our heart.

    11:38 Eyes of our heart. See it in our eyes of our heart. Now what are we going to do? That’s why Jesus said, unless they become like little children.

    11:47 Now science has found adults. Adults have imagination. They can imagine the creativity.

    11:57 They studied the creativity of adults. They found that only 5% of adults actually creative imagining and creating creative when they dress them. But you know what? 95% of children were creative and imagining things and creative.

    12:18 Now can you imagine? Now we must become like little children. Begin to imagine. Imagine the benefits from the word of God.

    12:28 By your stripes you are healed. You do not lack anything. Seek the kingdom of God and righteousness, which is righteousness, peace and joy.

    12:37 The kingdom of God and all this. Your needs will be settled and added. You begin to imagine.

    12:41 You begin to imagine. Imagine what? Not just the word of God. The word of God must become solid.

    12:47 Is true. Because now you are a believer. But you are imagining what is the result? What’s the benefit? You have paid all your bills.

    12:56 Maybe you’re moving to buy, get a house because you are now renting. All this while, so long, whatever now. Or it’s up to you because you do not want to.

    13:05 There are people who are not thinking of the owning houses. We are not telling you. Everybody must own a house.

    13:12 Everybody own a car. No, no. It’s what you want.

    13:14 What you want, God has given to you. Now it’s for you to decide. People on the move may not want to have houses.

    13:22 People may not. May not want to, may not even bother about it. So and if they don’t bother about it, of course they’re not imagining it.

    13:31 Of course it may not happen now, having said it. But those who are imagining houses, properties, owning it will happen also. Now there’s others.

    13:41 Those who are not bothered house or car, they may be imagining other things. Maybe they are servants of the most high God. Maybe they are missionaries.

    13:48 They are thinking of mission fields. They are thinking of the souls they are dealing with. So that imagination going on.

    13:53 So, brothers and sisters, today, in Jesus Christ’s name pray and let’s do this. Amen.

    00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today is the power of Christ. Daily 11th of July, 2015, Sunday. Thank Jesus Christ that we’ll go.

    00:11 It’s a long topic, so we’ll go straight into it. Faith, title, deed and evidence and proof. Faith, title, deed, evidence and proof.

    00:20 Now, when the first original definition that we all know is. And finally, it used to confuse me, Hebrews 11:1. Now, faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    00:34 Many Christians know this. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Now, I really couldn’t fully understand this.

    00:43 Some understanding was there, but this understanding necessary if we can grasp this, what actually the original text was saying, what was the meaning in the Greek and all that that would be wonderful for us. And we get our belief because God says
    what? Believe all things you ask in prayer. Believing.

    01:00 Believing what? Jesus Christ died on the cross. We are inside Jesus Christ. He rose again with his faith, his absolute faith.

    01:07 He rose again. And his faith, although he was separated from God, sin has separated. He was carrying our sins and he was separated from God.

    01:15 He was sitting, he was in the grave with the wicked. And yet his faith held, although he’s separated from his Father. And that faith could get God to move.

    01:25 Faith moves God to move, to bring him out, raise him up. That’s the faith. And now we are inside him.

    01:33 Now, I used amplified Bible today to see a bit more definition to show here. And this because it amplified, take from the Greek and all that and make a meaning to this. So we get clarity.

    01:45 Now, faith is the assurance. And then they go two, three hours again, the confirmation, the title deed. Actually, the title deed is the right word, is the correct word that for us to understand the title deed of the things hoped for, things we hope
    for.

    02:00 It’s the title deed. I’m going to use the word title deed now to make us understand is that faith is the assurance, of course, the title deed of the things we hoped for and the proof of things we do not see. That is evidence, proof of things we do
    not see.

    02:17 It’s unseen. And faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed in the census. Now, first of all, we take the title deed, title deed, simply this.

    02:27 If you know that you have a title deed, your parents have given you a house, inheritance or whatever, and your name is in the land office in that property, you have a title deed. Now, even somebody said, no, there’s a dispute and all this story and
    somebody woke up with a nightmare and say somebody stole something or stole your house. You go check the land office.

    02:49 Yeah, Your name is there. They’ll say, no, no, it’s yours. The title deed is yours.

    02:54 The name and the title deed is you yours. So the title deed is ours. All the promises of God.

    03:01 We have a title deed. Oh, accept this in your heart command. Believe this, brothers and sisters, believe this.

    03:08 Because all the promises of God, the title deed, our name is on that. Why our name is written in the Lamb’s book of life. Lamb’s book of Life is a Jesus gifted book.

    03:20 Jesus book. In that book he wrote those who believe in him in the heart. Not just mouthing, believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again and washed away their sins.

    03:30 Took our sins, took our curses, took over all our problems. All taken. Lack is taken.

    03:36 Health is healed by stripes 2,000 years ago. All is given. Generational curses, all gone.

    03:44 All gone. All. We have a title deed.

    03:48 Why? There is a promise of God. It’s taken everything. And now he’s put us into him.

    03:53 We’re sitting inside him and he says, I’m not ashamed to call you brethren, brothers and sisters. I was a blasphemer. I’ve called him four letter words.

    04:02 And can you imagine what my heart feels to think about this? He’s not ashamed to call me brother. He’s not ashamed to call me brother. Can you imagine what a loving, loving, loving Jesus Christ is? He loves us.

    04:14 He loves you. That is why he could suffer like that. Because of his love for us.

    04:19 He endured separation from Father God and went into the grave and he continued having faith that Father will take him up somehow. And Father God raised him up. Oh that.

    04:31 And then he puts us inside him. Jesus puts us inside him. Our spirit man is inside Jesus Christ sitting on the right hand side of Father God.

    04:38 And our name is written in the book of life. And that name because written the book of life, book of Lamb’s book of life. Our name is written the Lamb’s book of Life.

    04:48 And we have a title deed for all the promises. We are co heirs. We have a title deed, our name written in the title deed of all the promises.

    04:57 So when God says there’s no lack for you, righteousness, peace and joy. And all these things will be added. Righteousness, peace and joy is of course because we are in Jesus Christ.

    05:07 We will have righteousness, peace and joy. Righteousness comes from his righteousness. So that’s settled.

    05:13 The kingdom of God is not a place or a thing. It’s a condition of our soul. This is Romans.

    05:16 It’s a condition of our soul. Righteousness, peace and joy. You have righteousness, peace and joy.

    05:22 You are the kingdom of God to be in the kingdom of God. Righteousness comes from Jesus Christ. Righteousness because it is his faith inside us.

    05:30 I am not depending on my faith. My faith will fail. But his faith will never fail.

    05:36 As proven absolute. Done. Now.

    05:39 2. Peace. His name is the Prince of Peace.

    05:42 His peace. I receive three. Joy.

    05:46 I have joy. Knowing fully, I have salvation. Knowing fully God loves me.

    05:51 Why wouldn’t I have joy? I have joy. I am not bothered by this world. This world will pass away.

    05:56 I have to move on. When my body dies, I will be with Him. So I have joy.

    06:00 So I begin to worship. I begin to sing. I begin to meditate on His Word and righteousness, peace and joy fill my heart.

    06:07 If you can, pray in spirit, pray in the spirit. If you cannot pray in the spirit, worship in songs. Songs not to tickle our faith, but thinking of Jesus Christ.

    06:15 In fact, you don’t even have to think. Think of Jesus Christ, what He did for you and his promises. Read his promises again and again.

    06:22 And then this. Now the next part is evidence of things not seen. That is the normal Bible saying, explained Bible and amplified saying.

    06:32 Proof of things perceiving as real fact. What is not revealed in the senses. Our problem is our senses, our taste, our hearing, our seeing, our touch.

    06:47 So the five senses are touch, taste, smell, seeing and hearing. These five senses are blocking us. We are so ingrained into them.

    06:57 We are only looking at this. So we see, oh, we see the bank. We see a bill not paid sitting down there.

    07:03 We are seeing and we are hearing somebody say, hey, can’t pay the bill this month. We are seeing that. We are seeing this.

    07:09 What rubbish. Out of his house. So the doctor said, hey, this is a very aggressive cancer.

    07:15 We are seeing that. We are hearing that. And then when they.

    07:17 And then we are hospital, we are smelling all this. Of course these are blocking us. Although our name is written in the title deed because our name is in the Lamb’s book of life, Jesus Christ, as a book.

    07:30 He written our names there. But our five senses are blocking this. So the evidence of things not seen is actually the word of God.

    07:40 So we have to take the Word of God. Word of God says, seek ye the kingdom of God and righteousness. That is kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy.

    07:48 All your needs are settled. You have more than enough now. That is the Word of God.

    07:52 That is the evidence. That’s why people are praying without having evidence, without having what God said, praying this and that and that which is not there. You don’t have a title deed to it.

    08:05 It will not happen. But our health. There’s a title deed.

    08:11 No lack. It’s a title deed. We’ll have more than enough.

    08:12 It’s a title deed. We will do his will. It’s a title deed.

    08:18 We’ll become witnesses unto him. We’ll be a holy priest unto him. It’s a title deed.

    08:24 The evidence, the proof is his word. Your holy priest. That’s the word.

    08:29 That word is evidence. It’s a proof. And the title deed.

    08:33 Yes, we are inside Jesus Christ. Our name is written in the Lamb, Book of life. It’s a title deed.

    08:40 We cannot be taken out of that. I’ll never leave you, he said. No one can take you out of my hands.

    08:45 So no one can take the title. Write somebody else’s name. Not our name, remove our name.

    08:50 Cannot be done. Just like a land grant. Once you’re having a land grant in your name, that’s it until somebody goes, try and seek.

    08:57 But in this case, it cannot happen because Jesus Christ is the truth. So we must now get to that point. Whatever you’re seeking, whatever you’re asking, first look for scriptures to get the evidence.

    09:10 If you are unable to find the scriptures, ask the people in the graceoflife.com go there. Ask a moderator. Somebody somewhere will help you in any language, brothers and sisters.

    09:20 English, Tamil, Chinese. Oh, they are there to help you. You see your circumstances.

    09:28 And they’ll find the scriptures for you and give you the title. They’ll give you the evidence of what God’s word is. And then they’ll pray with you.

    09:37 They’ll infuse faith in you. They release Jesus Christ’s faith in you by talking about Jesus Christ. And then you know the faith of Jesus Christ in us.

    09:45 You have the title deed. Your name is there. Now you’re praying.

    09:48 Now you visualize. Because Jesus took God, took Abraham and asked him to see the stars, isn’t it to count the stars. Now we have to visualize.

    09:56 Let us say you have some bills all the way now. Now, you don’t want to look at that. Now what you’re doing, you’re looking at all paid.

    10:02 You’re looking at your bank account for two months, excess cash to be able to pay the bills. Six months. It’s a title deed.

    10:09 Because you have more than enough. But you’re not going to follow the world because that’s sowing and reaping. There’s another law already in place, in existence, established.

    10:17 You Sow what you sow, you will reap. So God said, do not go and follow the world. Love of the world is enmity with Christ.

    10:23 Why? To save us and why? The command is a prescription. It’s a prescription, it’s a cure. It’s a remedy for me.

    10:30 So I receive the command very happily. That’s remedy. That’s remedy.
