00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today is the power of Christ. Daily 13th of September. Oh, thank Jesus Christ.
00:10 Examine yourself, kindness and wives. Examine yourself for kindness and wives. Today Sunday.
00:18 Now, one of the things yesterday we are talking about is patience. Now before that, thank you and grateful to all of you who are praying for health and for us in the haze matter. Brothers and sisters, I’m improving,
my family is improving in health.00:35 Yesterday was very bad for me. You know what happens actually? The whole day, whole night will have temperature, I’ll have temperature because the lungs have inflamed, the sinus area is all inflamed and clogged up
and paining. Eyes will be hurting, headache all the time, migraine.00:53 And then because we are breathing in this stuff and it’s polluting the whole body and body blood all become acidic and all that. But at the same time, by mercy of God, when all this happening, God will remind me all
things work for the good of those who love God and are the called according to his purpose. All things work for the good.01:14 So I say it will work for the good. Because I have no control over this haste. It will work for the good, something God will do.
01:20 And again this morning I get up, I am feeling much better. I can take a better breath and the headache is gone, temperature is gone. I didn’t take any medicine, thank Jesus, because if I needed it, I would have
taken it.01:33 I would have taken a painkiller or headache pill or a fever pill. But I just endured by God’s mercy. But if I couldn’t, if it’s too much, then I would take.
01:43 I will not. I’m not going to say I’m not taking any of this medicine we’ll take. But brothers and sisters, you must be led by the spirit of God.
01:49 What you believe, whatever you do not in faith is sin. God says so we will do everything in faith. So I thank you all again.
01:57 I am very grateful, brothers and sisters. I am able to do this work daily. Now yesterday we are talking about patience.
02:03 And we know patience is actually the definition by God’s definition is we can only get his promises when we endure in patience, in patience. So for instance, he told us that by stripes we are healed. So patience.
02:22 Now there are people sadly will intervene in the patience. They won’t be patient, they will do something and they actually delay the promises from coming out to manifest. Therefore, even in Abraham’s case, suddenly
Asara decided the wife.02:40 I’ll give you this, that time all. No, one man, one wife rule. That time there’s no Ten Commandments yet, Remember, there’s no Ten Commandments yet.
02:49 So the natural laws were going on there. So Sarah said, look, since God said, you’ll be a father to many nations, then he decided, I’ll give you this maid servant and you sleep with her and get a child. Hagar.
03:07 Hagar is a maidservant. And that caused a lot of problems. That caused a delay, delay in the promise of God manifesting.
03:18 So there was a delay, but finally he endured. Then he realized there is some issue here. Abraham just endured patiently and it came to pass.
03:26 We have to endure patiently. We don’t intervene. We don’t intervene in the work of God.
03:33 We don’t. Oh, Sarah was saying, look, he promised you that you will have a son and you will be the father of many nations. And then quickly, okay, why don’t you take this maidservant and have a child from her?
Because I am barren now.03:50 See the problem, brothers and sisters? So we too are like this. We too suddenly, wait, wait, wait. We cannot ready.
03:56 And then we are impatient. And then we’ll do something and then we will damage ourselves. We end up delaying the work of God, the manifestation of the promises.
04:08 Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now remember, mercies are new every morning. I get up this morning.
04:13 I know mercies are new every morning. So I’m encouraging you, I am encouraging you to know this Word of God. Mercies are new, whatever headache, this love, fever, all kinds of fever, on and on, lung pain or
whatever.04:28 Remember, mercies are new every morning is promised. So now, today’s title, I say kindness and wives. I had to put that there because the number of things I know, I know sisters in Christ, when they become born
again, they know Jesus Christ.04:44 Now they know the work of God. They really don’t know fully, but they begin to think they know. And the rule for us is if you think you know something, you do not know as you ought to know, as yet you do not know as
you should.04:56 You don’t know the whole story. But many sisters make this mistake because they are anxious for their husband and the children to be saved. And they begin to do things and say things and actually make it worse.
05:11 So what is God’s word on this? God’s word on this is simple. Now today I’m using word kindness there because it’s one of the fruits of the spirit. Fruit, one of the.
05:21 One of the flavor of the fruit of the spirit, of Holy Spirit. One of the flavor, one of the shapes. Kindness is one of the flavor.
05:28 Love, joy, Peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. You see, some fruits can be sweet and yet sour. You know, there are different shades, but this fruit of the Holy Spirit got so many flavors.
05:40 One is kindness. Today we talk about kindness. So what is God saying about our sisters? Any sister, you’re listening to me.
05:50 I’ve seen this repeatedly. I tell them, don’t go and say things, please let it go. Belief tries.
05:56 He said, you and your household will be saved because you believe Jesus Christ. Don’t listen, you know, I so sad. And then they’ll go and do something at the back there.
06:06 And then finally, sometimes they get chased out of the house or some. Some sisters have been told, get out. Why? Because they do not follow the word of God.
06:17 They do not keep to the word of God. They do not believe. That means they do not believe what Jesus Christ has said in the Bible.
06:24 And that means their heart, what is the problem? Their heart doesn’t believe. Their heart wants their husband saved like yesterday. They want their children saved like yesterday.
06:34 So they begin to intervene and do this and do that and everything else. End result. I also made mistakes like this.
06:42 So after that, because I made mistakes like this, then I know it doesn’t work. I keep telling them, please sister, don’t, don’t, don’t let it go. God promise.
06:49 We wait on the promise. But no, they won’t do. So what they some of them won’t do.
06:53 And they get in trouble. Those sisters of mine here who are unmarried learn from here also. So finally, when you’re married, you know what you have to do.
07:03 Now here, first Peter 3, one says, you see, in the same way, you, wives should be willing to serve your husbands. Then even those who have refused to accept God’s teaching. I’m taking from the easy reader, so it’s
not completely the shade of meaning may not be as what original Bible says, but it’s what the new English version, so people begin to understand, can understand.07:12 Then even those who have refused to accept God’s teaching, you serve them, you submit to them, you care for them. So even though they don’t submit to God’s teaching, will be persuaded to believe because of the way
you live, because of your conduct. The actual translation is because of your conduct, you will not need to say anything.07:48 The other translation says, because of your conduct, your chaste conduct, your holy conduct, without a word they may be won over. That means God telling, don’t talk, don’t talk. Without a word, they may be won over,
but have good conduct, have chaste conduct, have holy conduct.08:09 That’s what God is telling. But you know what some of our sisters do? They won’t listen. They’ll go and say things because they cannot control their heart.
08:18 There’s no self control. Because the husband doing something. No, they’ll say something because they want the husband to be saved.
08:24 Then they will talk about scripture to the husband. Then they may sing some songs loudly, hoping the song will go in there. Then they will try to arrange the husband to suddenly meet me or something.
08:35 Because they believe by meeting me they will all be saved. What sisters? It’s God who saves. God who saves now.
08:44 But God is telling in 1 Peter 3:1 that 1. They want to do what God said. Keep quiet, quick to hear, slow to speak, without a word.
08:54 Just have the right conduct. Have the right conduct. So now what conduct is this? Now let’s see this.
09:01 In Proverbs 31, 26, 29, 26. Proverbs 31, 26, she opens her mouth with wisdom. Sister, I’m talking to you, please.
09:16 When your mouth is open, it must open with wisdom. Brother, I’m talking to you. Although this is written to the sisters, it applies to me too.
09:24 When my mouth opens, it must open with wisdom. Wisdom of God, not worldly wisdom. Wisdom of God.
09:31 And wisdom of God comes from speaking the word of God, speaking the scriptures. Wisdom. You open your mouth, wisdom.
09:39 Wherever, where you’re working, where you are, you will have a great life. Because you will not simply stop talk. You will before.
09:47 When you open your mouth, there’s wisdom coming out. You’re thinking of things, you’re meditating on issues. And when you have wisdom coming out, wisdom of God, people be drawn to you.
09:58 So he’s talking to the wife. Here are these specifically. Proverbs 31 is to the wife, she opens her mouth.
10:04 Wisdom. So sister, I ask you today, when you open your mouth in your house, because yes, you are anxious. Anxiety is sin.
10:14 You are anxious for your husband to be saved. But anxiety is sin. And that’s causing delay in your husband to be saved.
10:21 When you open your mouth, is your mouth opening with wisdom of God. 2. And in her tongue is the law of kindness.
10:31 Law of kindness. One of the flavour of the fruit of the Holy Spirit is kindness. In her tongue is a law of kindness.
10:38 So when you are speaking the law that controls your tongue, that means me, me, me. I’m talking to myself now. Right now I’m talking to Kristilu.
10:47 You listen when you speak. When your law of tongue, it must be kindness, kindness. That applies to all of us.
10:53 Kindness. Then goes on to 27. She looks well into the ways of a household and doesn’t be idle and all that.
11:02 28. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also, he praises her and says, many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellence them all.
11:13 Meaning, you know what? There are many women who are doing well, but you are the most excellent. Now you have to aspire to be theirs. Not every day thinking they are saved or not.
11:26 Oh, Lord, you will save them. Oh Lord, you will save them. He said he will save them, isn’t it? He said that you believe and you and your household will be saved.
11:35 And. And there’s a segment I’ve taught there, the household sake. Now, I’ve made this mistake before.
11:41 My son also, I’ll keep on telling things to him so that I’m concerned. Oh, you’re doing something wrong. He’s doing something wrong.
11:48 And finally God taught me a lesson. I said, let it go. Let it go.
11:52 Why? Actually, by me doing some of these things, saying some things, I’m actually making things worse. So I let it go. Why? I’m a human being.
12:04 I wiped up. I wiped up to know that he said he will save him. So I said, thank you, Lord Jesus, and let it go.
12:12 Now, the issue here today is what is kindness? Romans 2:4. Romans 2. Patience.
12:21 We already know patience is enduring, just doing nothing, not interfering with God’s promise. Interfering to make God’s promise come true, come to manifest. That is impatience.
12:32 We leave it, we continue doing our work, we live our life. And patience will come. God’s promises will come, will exhibit, will manifest.
12:41 Here in Romans 2:4, it says, don’t you know? Are you ignorant? Are you dumb? That means, are you dumb? God’s kindness leads you to repentance. God’s kindness leads you to repentance. Now, sisters, is your kindness
in your house will lead your husband and your children to repentance.13:05 Because God’s kindness leads us to repentance. Means in Romans 2:4. It’s also the same thing in my household.
13:11 It’s my kindness to my son will lead him to repentance. Now, next thing. But because we may be kind and we keep telling things, but they already got problems because they do not know Christ.
13:25 And we keep telling things. Actually, the devil takes that and provokes the other person, provokes my son or provokes your husband or something. So now.
13:36 So what is the meaning? The meaning of world definition is this. It is simply generous, friendly and considerate. Now, he doesn’t say anything for us.
13:45 Generous, friendly, and concentrated now. But the Bible meaning is so many meanings. Finally I had to conclude this because it’s written in Hebrew and written in Greek and so many shades of meanings.
14:00 So finally I put in a few lines here and we pray that will make you understand. Kindness is a sincere desire and not any desire. Sincere desire for the happiness of others.
14:15 Kindness is the inner feeling created by the Holy Spirit that causes us to be sensitive to the needs of others. Needs, you know, whether physical, emotional or spiritual. So Bible meaning is this not complete? I
have just collected it to put together so we can get some understanding out of this.14:36 Kindness is a sincere desire for the happiness of others. So when you see going to his congregation today, you went to church, meeting them, you are looking at somebody, there must be a sincere desire in you that to
get are they happy. You see somebody not there, you’re trying to settle them, Whether you’re having a discussion or giving something they may need, something you’re trying to do.14:57 It’s a sincere desire for the happiness of others. You want others to be happy. You want others to be joyful.
15:03 You don’t want others to be oppressed and depressed. And then it’s the inner feeling created by the Holy Spirit because we can’t have good feelings here other than created by God that causes us to be sensitive to
the needs of others. If you’re not sensitive to the needs of others, whether it’s emotional, whether it’s physical, whether it is material, whether it is spiritual, so you see somebody depressed, spiritual already.15:29 So you got to deal. If you see somebody emotional issue, not okay, you got to deal. You see somebody physical problem, physical needs, you got to deal.
15:38 Sensitive to the needs. So this is a very good definition. So inner feeling, sensitive to the needs of others.
15:45 So, sister, regarding husband being sensitive to his needs. Ah, sensitive needs. Physical, emotional and spiritual kindness comes out and Jesus will see us through.
15:59 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, including wherever we are, the places where we work and all that. Let’s have kindness. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today is the power of Christ Daily 19th of September 2015. We are still in the work of God titled Fish rots from the head. Fish rots from the head.
00:17 This statement, many cultures, many countries. England, Poland, Russia, number of European countries, plus China, you know, they have this statement for years. And we really do not know who.
00:31 Everyone will claim they created the statement, but I really do not know. But it is a fact. It’s not a belief, it’s a fact.
00:39 Fish rots from the head. So people tell you, hey, fish rots from the head. Starts to begin to rot from the head.
00:45 So it’s a fact. And now we know that when God is talking to us through His Word, we too rot from the head. We do rot from the head.
00:55 Where the mind, not just the head, from fish rotting. The hen is actually physically rotting. But we are spirit beings.
01:03 I am a spirit being. I am not my soul. Soul belongs to me.
01:04 I am not my body. Body belongs to me. I am in this body, my soul also in the body.
01:14 So I’m not talking about my body rotting from the head. I’m talking me. I rotting from the head.
01:19 I rotting from the head. Must start in my head, which is my mind. Which is my mind.
01:26 Because I am a spirit being. The head is a physical thing. The mind is in the spirit.
01:27 I am a spirit being. Now, brothers and sisters, today it is extremely important for us to understand some of these things. You see, even repentance, when God calls us to repent.
01:44 Repent what? First, our way of thinking. Our way of thinking. Because even people, when we didn’t know Christ, what He does, in his immense love, in his immense mercy, in his immense compassion, he begins to allow.
02:04 He doesn’t create bad things for us. And somebody has stopped from the really bad things. Otherwise I’m dead.
02:11 I was dead long ago. So he didn’t allow all that dying and all to take place. But because my own sowing, I was reaping a whole lot of mess.
02:20 And in that mess he allows keeping me alive, keeping me from being killed off by Satan. He allowed me to come this way, that way. Because he’s given me a will.
02:31 He can’t force himself upon me. So he allowed me this way, that way. And I am doing some rubbish here, rubbish there.
02:38 He kept protecting me from complete death. And he kept on allowing what I want to do. He allowed to appoint.
02:45 Because if not, I will kill myself. Even because I was thinking of suicide already. Then he draws us.
02:52 And then he begins to somehow or other get through to us. He will get through to us. He is God Almighty God.
02:58 He loves us. And then he changes in our thinking. To know that I need God.
03:06 I need Jesus Christ. Not just God Almighty, because he put everything under the feet of Jesus Christ. We need Jesus Christ because we have to be reconciled with God.
03:17 Because of sin in me, I could not be reconciled with God. I need a mediator. And there’s only one mediator.
03:24 The Bible says the mediator is Jesus Christ. And the Bible doesn’t talk about any other mediators. To go through the mediator, Jesus Christ.
03:33 This we have to be very careful, brothers and sisters, some or other, our customs, our beliefs. We listen to things and then our mind has picked up false information. And then we begin to think we need another mediator to go to the mediator, Jesus
Christ.03:48 And then to get to God, no. Jesus said directly to you, come unto me and I shall give you rest. Come unto me and I shall give you rest.
03:58 And he said, if you try to go through here, there, everywhere. All are fallen nature, people. All were created, individuals created, you know, doesn’t matter what one group says.
04:08 This person is that, that person, that and all that. That’s not all unimportant. What God says, what Jesus says in the Bible.
04:14 What is the written word? You go to the written word, you’ll find the written word. Some completely contradicting some of what these people have been teaching us. You go to the written word.
04:25 God says, seek him. And he says, search the Scriptures. The command is a command.
04:31 Search the scriptures. Like the Bereans. Bereans are a group of people who are searching the Scriptures.
04:38 Is he telling us, search the scriptures. Don’t just listen to some man or some booklet for. From one denomination, another denomination.
04:46 Another denomination. Yes, read the denomination booklet. Because you belong to the denomination, isn’t it? Then after that, search the scriptures.
04:55 Search the scriptures. Whether some. Because human being writing, writing booklets, they can make errors.
05:02 They can make errors. And once an error starts, sometimes the error continues on and on. Built upon, built upon, built upon.
05:09 Because nobody checked at that point in time to see whether that booklet is in error. How sad. And you cannot afford this because Jesus says, work out your own salvation.
05:22 With fear and trembling. I have to work out my salvation. What’s the work of God? Believing in the one whom he sent.
05:30 I must believe in Jesus Christ. And when Jesus Christ said, love me. And love me means keeping my commandments.
05:36 And one of the commandments written down there is what? Search the scriptures. Search the scriptures. Search The Bible, search the scriptures.
05:44 And so I have to search now there are many tools. You go into Internet, there are biblegateway.com there you put one keyword and all the scriptures will come out for that particular keyword. So easy.
05:56 But you got to do some work now. And if the way I said also you listen to the morning power of Christ daily. But go and check I said get the scriptures, get the emails, get the scriptures and you check different, different translations to see settle
your mind first.06:13 Because why fish rots from the head. So is my. I am rotting from my mind.
06:18 So I bind that all in Jesus Christ’s name for all of us in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind every rot from our mind in the name of Jesus Christ. Today I wash our minds with the blood of Jesus Christ, the life giving blood of Jesus Christ.
06:32 In the spirit in my faith. I receive the blood of Jesus Christ. To wash my mind.
06:36 To wash my mind in the name of Jesus Christ. Now Ephesians 4, 22, 24 says that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lust, lusting after this, lusting after that. And God says it’s
deceitful.06:58 That means this. I’m reading from the new King James Version. Deceitful lust, that means the lust of the lusting after things is deceitful.
07:09 It cheats finally. But now we have to renew our mind. Our mind has to be stopped from being deceived.
07:16 And he says in 23, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.
07:30 True righteousness and holiness now. So be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And therefore people say, must do this, must do that.
07:40 Finally we are chasing things. There are people who think money can solve everything and then they find out it’s not true. You may have money, you may have a lot of money.
07:49 I have friends who are multi millionaires. But when finally, when you are really sick and troubled and sitting in the hospital dying or whatever, the money cannot help you. And in fact, when you go to one hospital, you want to change yourself
sometimes cannot.08:05 All your money in the world won’t let you change because you may not be able to be moved. So you suddenly find there’s another specialist in another hospital, very powerful, very big record and all your faith is going on the bank. Your faith is
going on the bank.08:22 And that’s natural. We are in trouble, we are sitting in one hospital. And suddenly we think there’s another hospital can solve this thing.
08:29 And then we have all our money to move with. Let’s say it takes thousands of dollars to move, just to move. But people may not be able to move.
08:38 Why? By moving you, they are afraid that you will die. I bind all these in Jesus name. That is why our faith must be in Christ and Christ, the Lord Christ.
08:51 Christ alone, because he’s a giver of life. So if our faith goes after what the world has taught us, it’s deceitful. They cheat us.
08:59 Finally, money, money, money. Yeah, we need money. God said you need money.
09:03 God also said you need money. Because God didn’t say. He only said the love of money is the root of all evil.
09:09 He didn’t say money is the root of all evil. Use money. Learn to give.
09:14 Also give a lot. But we do not allow love of money to. Because the roots are horrible.
09:21 They do not love the money. We use the money. In fact, God says use the money to gain friends.
09:26 Can you imagine? Use mammon. The Bible refers to money as mammon. And gain friends.
09:33 Go and give gifts to people you want to deal with people. This is all written down. No need to be bothered about it.
09:39 It is not everybody. God is telling there be a church mouth. There’s no such a thing as church in the first place.
09:45 The church is all the souls put together who are following Christ. That’s the church. So there’s no setting a mouse in the church.
09:52 So oh, this one was a church mouse. No la. No such thing.
09:56 All this built up over the years, all cut off. Cancel. Cancel.
09:59 Renew our mind to know, being in Christ, that you will have all provisions for you, all provisions for your well being. Seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first. And all these things that you need will be added now in Romans 12:1 3.
10:13 Romans 12:1 3. I am reading from the Catholic edition. I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice.
10:28 Can you imagine? By the mercies of God I am supposed to present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. So what’s our spiritual worship, brothers and sisters? To present our bodies as a living
sacrifice. 2.10:46 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. So to know the will of God for yourself, you first should not be conformed
to this world. We Already conformed before you come to Christ.11:04 Already conformed to the world. Now you have to wash, washing of the water, he says, and then washing of the water by the Word. You take the Word and the water in you will be washed by the word of God.
11:18 You keep looking at the word of God. You take these two scriptures, the one Ephesians 4, 22 and one in Romans 12:1, 3. You keep meditating on this where you have conformed to this world.
11:31 That’s examining to do. Remember God said in 2 Corinthians 13, 5, examine and test yourself. Test and prove yourself.
11:39 Unless you all are counterfeits. He says. He says that counterfeits.
11:43 We are not counterfeits. We are not fake Christians. So we will examine ourselves.
11:46 And then you say, search the scriptures. The Scriptures are here. And you use the Scripture and begin to read and begin to think, where, where have I conformed to this world? Every decision you make, is it conforming to the world or conforming to
the Word? Is it conforming to the world or is it conforming to the world? This is very critical.12:06 And we transform God said, by the renewing of your minds so that you may discern what is the will of God. When I first came to Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ arrested me. Crack me by mercy.
12:19 There will be people. I see people running up to pastors every time I’m running and say, what’s the word for me? Any word for me? Any word after that? When I began Servant of God, they also come running to me. Any word for me? Any word for me.
12:31 Finally I say, stop. All these brothers and sisters, the word is first, go and read the word. Go read the word of God and meditate on the word of God.
12:39 No running. That means you know what they’re trying to do. They are becoming lazy.
12:44 They just want some human beings to tell them what is the word of God for them for the day, Any word for me. They’re not even interested in the word of God. They interested in some kind of prophecy for their life, for the.
12:56 For that month or for that flavor for the season or whatever. And then I find they never settle after two, three years, I find they are the same problem they are facing because God said, what? Seek me. That’s a command.
13:12 So anybody comes seeking you, if you’re a servant, I’m cautioning you, brother and sister, don’t let them begin to believe that you are the mediator to the mediator. Otherwise they begin to come to you. Any word, any word that means you become the.
13:25 I cannot allow this I cannot become the mediator to the mediator Jesus Christ. He will punish me. Send them to Jesus Christ.
13:34 Tell them, seek the Word and give them the word of God to meditate daily. The power of Christ. And first of all, they must learn to cast out evil spirit.
13:45 Cast out evil spirit. And in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my mind to be renewed in the spirit of your mind to believe what Jesus Christ has said, what Jesus Christ has suffered for me. I will take this today, and I will walk with this.
13:59 I will meditate on this, I will consume this, and I will act. This I will do. A doer of the word I will be in Jesus Christ’s name.
14:07 And so now I will know the will of God for me if I am transformed by the renewing of my mind. And in Romans 12:2, it says now 3. For by the grace given to me, I say to everyone, this apostle Paul telling, for by the grace given to me, I say to
everyone among you, do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think.14:31 There are a lot of people without even knowing because the mind has captured them, the world has captured them, the worldly mind and the world has fooled them. And deceitful luster fool them. They begin to think more highly of themselves than they
are.14:50 And this is terrible because it destroys you. So this you have to examine also. You have to examine even me now in this work that I do, I have to think often, examine myself.
15:01 Hey, it’s my mind and my heart thinking more higher than I am. And now I say, shut up in the name of Jesus Christ. Heart, mind, in the name of Jesus Christ.
15:10 I’m talking to you. You shut up. And you understand the word of God which says, I will be humble, humble, be humble and think others more highly than yourself.
15:25 I command it in the name of Jesus. That’s how we change. We change by knowing the Word which scripture is relevant, and begin to hammer the heart and mind.
15:33 Because the fish rots in the head, our will also rot in the spiritual mind. From there, so we renew the mind. First we begin to change the mind by looking at the Word, meditating on the Word, and then identifying where I have done this nonsense and
where have I done this nonsense.15:49 I ask repentance, ask mercy from Jesus Christ, and then I change. That’s what you have to do, brothers and sisters, let’s all change today. And we know, in the name of Jesus Christ, he loves you.
16:00 This is a fact. He loves you. And mercies are new every morning.
16:05 Amen.

AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors
00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ daily 18th of September. We are still in the work of God. Work of God is work of God.
00:10 Examine yourself. Chapter nine Self control. Chapter two Self control Part two.
00:20 The work of God, let’s remind ourselves, is believing in Jesus Christ. That’s it. Believing in Jesus Christ.
00:27 More we believe in the spiritual world. God considers it work. We better go by God’s definition because it is finally he created us, created the heavens and the earth.
00:37 Almighty God. 2. Examining Ourselves we have to examine ourselves to make sure that we are not counterfeit Christians.
00:44 We are not fake Christians and we don’t want to be fake Christians. We don’t want to be counterfeit Christians. We examine ourselves, test ourselves, prove ourselves and then we can be true Christians and pleasing to Christ and having a good life.
00:58 Having a good life. Now today we talk about self control, one of the flavours of Galatians 5, 22, 23 which is the fruit of the Spirit. Now in Titus 2:11, 13, I’m reading from the New Revised Standard Catholic edition.
01:21 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self controlled, upright and godly. 13 While we wait for the blessed hope and
manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. So what has appeared? Grace has appeared, bringing what? Salvation to all and training us to renounce worldly passions and impiety.02:00 Now in Titus 2:11, 13 I’m now reading from the Amplified. For the remarkable and undeserved grace of God that brings salvation as appeared to all men. It teaches us to reject ungodliness, worldly, immoral desires.
02:20 Worldly desires are actually immoral desires. The earth belongs to Jesus Christ. He created it.
02:27 But the world, the system of governing the earth, the system of governing the earth, controlling the earth, things happening in the earth and all this is still worldly. And that ruler of the world right now is still Satan. Rule of the world is now
still Satan.02:43 That is why eventually you’ll bring the Antichrist and all that. But we are not going to get petrified and panicked about this. Our God says, just with his breath, Antichrist is destroyed.
02:56 Just with the breath finished. No, no issue here. Our Father God protects us, takes care of us, loves us.
03:04 Jesus Christ, the King of kings has overcome all and taken out the power of Satan and given his children power. So don’t concern yourself the devil in terms of oh, he will do something to Us. No, no, he cannot do anything.
03:18 If you stand in the name of Jesus Christ and you want to do the right thing, one, two, only willing. Willing to do the right thing. Willing to do what Jesus tells you.
03:28 You command any demonic force to go in the name of Jesus Christ and it will go. But if we do not want to follow Jesus Christ the way Jesus Christ has written down, if we want to follow Jesus Christ the way our mind tells us, our hearts tell us, our
neighbors tell us, our another Christian brother or sister telling us without any proof in Scripture, without any proof from the Bible, then we won’t have power. The devil will overtake us now.03:57 So here reject ungodliness, worldly, immoral desires and to live sensible, upright and godly lives. This is a purpose. Sensible, upright and godly life lies.
04:09 The purpose that reflects spiritual maturity is your life is my life is living as a purpose for Christ. Purpose that eternity will come. Purpose that our body one day will die and we still have to face the living God.
04:25 Purpose that what we do, what God has told us to do. Believe in the one whom he sent. Believing more in Jesus Christ.
04:31 Believing more in Jesus Christ. The purpose to believe more and more in Jesus Christ means the purpose is to obey him. Because he says, if you love me, keep my commandments, walk in my commandments.
04:46 That’s the purpose to love Jesus Christ. And the purpose to love Jesus Christ how? The purpose to keep his commandments. How? Because the commandments are a prescription.
04:56 The old Hebrew description says it’s a kind of prescription, authoritative prescription so that we can prescribe that our diseases will go. Our other diseases, our bad things in our life are considered diseases. And with the authoritative
prescription, the diseases live a good life.05:17 We’ll be healed. Healed in the spirit in this present age with a purpose 13 waiting and confidently expecting the fulfillment of our blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As we get up this morning, or any
morning, first take a moment and think of Jesus Christ.05:42 He is love. God is love. So we think about love.
05:45 We think about others. We first of all, we begin to meditate on the scriptures God will bring. He will bring scriptures.
05:52 The Spirit of God will bring scriptures not related to just in the power of Christ. Daily that I am speaking, it will be from the past, once, maybe, maybe even from the future ones which have not spoken. He will bring the words of God to you.
06:03 He will bring things. Because you are meditating on the husband of your soul. You are waking up today.
06:11 The husband of your soul is with you you are complete, you are whole. You had a whole set of difficulties, challenges yesterday, but today you have mercies anew every morning. And then this starts with what? First Corinthians 8, 2.
06:27 If I think I know something I do not know as I ought to know as yet. This is crit, single brothers. Because our heart and mind is very wicked.
06:36 It begins to think after a while. It knows. It knows.
06:39 What does it know? Because whatever the world has taught us is only taught us a hidden thing. There was a movie called the Matrix. And then you go into the Matrix, you find there’s actually a different world and we’re actually believing one thing
when actually there’s another thing.06:56 Now this is similarly here. That is what the concept would have got from this actual world whereby there’s a spirit world that controls the actual world or the physical world. There’s a spirit world.
07:09 And we must focus on the spirit world. Because we have power in the name of Jesus Christ. Because we have power in the name of Jesus Christ, we must focus on the spirit world and God has given us and say, look at the things above, look at the things
unseen.07:26 What is it telling us? Look at the things unseen, look at the things unseen. That means why look at the spirit world? Now, of course, to look at the spirit world. We are looking at things like our character first, our conduct, our speech, our
thoughts.07:46 Now, because the heart will not change until we are renewed in the spirit of our mind, the spirit of our mind, our understanding. False belief has caused a lot of problems. Now back to this relative to self control.
08:05 Now self control means there’s a spirit that’s not a spirit of lack of self control or zero self control. There’s a spirit. This spirit is a wicked spirit.
08:17 It wants you to believe you can do whatever you want and get away. It wants you to believe and make you believe. Because it convinced our heart and mind that we must stand there and do this.
08:28 I can do it this way, I can do it that way. They do this, I will do that. I was like that.
08:34 If they do something that, okay, okay, they’re doing that there. I can do this way. Completely ignoring.
08:40 There is a spirit world and Satan came to steal, kill and destroy, as Jesus Christ has told us. And he said he came to give us more life and life more, more abundantly. And then he said before he left, can you imagine the last words, one of the last
words he spoke before he left in Mark 16.08:59 Those who believe, teach the good News. Talk about good news. The good news.
09:05 Salvation has come Jesus died on the cross and gave us power. And those who believe these signs will follow. They will cast out evil spirit in my name.
09:14 Now the connection is this. Those who believe in Jesus Christ will cast out evil spirit in his name. Now if we are not casting out evil spirit in his name, that means truly we are not believing enough to cast out.
09:31 And what evil spirit? As I told I’ve had segments earlier there, go and ask the moderators or go to the graceoflife.com There is a page called Power of Christ Daily and all the past recordings are there. Choose that brothers, because you can. And
their topics are there.09:47 They choose by topics now. So believe what? Believe that Jesus has overcome the world. And we will overcome the world.
09:59 And Jesus is a home for us. He is making. Jesus is coming back.
10:04 Jesus died on the cross and took my sins. And Jesus in his faith, he went down even to hell. He died, he suffered, you know, the heart broke physically.
10:15 The scientists now say that they studied how he was whipped and how he was hung on the cross in such a manner. Finally, this broke off the blood contained in the abdomen. Why physically his heart broke and all the blood collected in his abdomen.
10:34 And that is why when the soldier went and pierced him, blood and water flowed out. He died of a broken heart. Jesus Christ died of a broken heart for me and for you.
10:46 And he rose again. And he says, now come unto me and I shall give you rest. And he said, call on my name and I will answer thee.
10:55 But in my name you will cast out evil spirits from ourselves first. So examining ourselves all the time is a necessary thing so that we prove ourselves and be a part of Christ. Now, lack of self control has caused a lot of problems.
11:09 As I said, marriages are broken, relationships are broken, jobs are lost, money is lost. Without self control, you go buy things, buy things because your neighbor God or your friend God or whatever, you don’t afford it. You cannot afford it.
11:24 You can’t maxing up your credit cards. And finally people are being bankrupted. All that is going on because lack of self control.
11:33 Now self control on the other hand is a wonderful thing. It’s a wonderful thing that God is saying you have self control and you live reject. You can reject ungodliness and worldly immoral passions and desires, you can reject because in the name now
this I think a lot of religions will tell you, like including Christian religion tell you, you know, be godly, don’t have worldly desires and all that, but our heart won’t do.12:05 So in the name of Jesus, Christ, I command my heart and mind to reject worldly desires, to reject lack of self control in the name of Jesus Christ and to have godliness and to love Jesus Christ and to fulfill the commandments and to take his
prescription in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to believe more and more in Jesus Christ, to love more and more. And I will love all. Because if I love all, I am a son of the most High God.12:35 It’s so easy. God has given us a prescription to be son of the most High God. You just love your enemy.
12:43 So if you have any enemies, you must purpose in your heart in the name of Jesus Christ. And the mind must be renewed and say, they are captives, Lord, they are captives. The ruler of the world, Satan is confused all of us.
12:56 But thank you Lord for giving me grace and mercy and that I am in you. It is only by your mercy that you have brought me in. Now you try this brothers and sisters.
13:09 You meditate on this self control everything. Before you do something, before you speak, there must be moments of silence. Your thinking.
13:18 You’re thinking before you speak. Thinking what? Thinking what Jesus wants you to say. Now Jesus Christ himself, he says, father, do not let this cup pass through my lips.
13:35 Then he then quickly said again, but let your will be done, not mine. That means he knows he’s going to suffer so much. He’s asking father, can this cup, can this sacrifice not be done this way? Can I be spared of this? All this weeping and tearing
of flesh and tearing of our beard and hanging there and nailed to the cross and ridiculed and put to shame and carry all the sins of mankind.14:03 And all the demonic forces would come and carry all their curses, all their boils, all their diseases, all their leprosy, all the tuberculosis, all cancer. I carry all that into my body. Can this be done another way? Can I escape from this? Then he
said, but let your will be done, not mine.14:25 That is self control. That is self control. Self control is wanting God’s way when your flesh, your mind, your heart, your friend, your brother, your neighbor, whoever is telling all that do, do something.
14:40 The boss, the company, your job, all the dictating that you must do something. And then you know that is not what Jesus Christ wants you to do. Because you must be searching scriptures or get godly counsel.
14:54 Somebody will counsel you. Get to the grace of life. Somebody will counsel you.
14:58 It may be even me. But everybody knows that the people who are there in the grace of life, they all have suffered, they’ve come out of it. They are serving the Lord.
15:06 There are pastors, there are servants. They will, oh, they will stop what they’re doing. They will begin.
15:11 They begin to deal with this. They will contact among each other. They’ll talk, they’ll contact me and then say how to help this person, how to help this brother, how to help this sister.
15:20 Because love one another as I have loved you. That’s the second highest commandment. First highest commandment is love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love one another as I have loved you.
15:23 That’s the second highest commandment for believers. Third highest commandment is love your neighbor as yourself. And then we will have great life.
15:42 And why they will stop and do this? Because they have self control. Self control to obey what God has said. Love one another as I have loved you.
15:51 Jesus said, how did he deliver us? He gave up everything for us. So we must be willing to give up our time, our energy and all that, not go and whip ourselves and nailed us back on the cross. No, we are already being when we accepted Christ.
16:05 We have already been crucified in Christ. We already been when we are in Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, wonderful day.
16:12 Amen.
