00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,560
God has instructed us to build up um a

62
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,599
library of content on the UOG app It's a

63
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,920
safe place for you to watch the UG

64
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,480
content Not just the UG content that's

00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,560

exclusive things for you So please don't

67
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,519
miss this opportunity to become a

68
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:43,680
subscriber to the UG app And you might

69
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,720
ask well why do I have um to pay a small

70
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,720
amount I think it's $5 per month or

71
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,319
something Well that's to maintain the

72
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:54,080
app Yes because the UG has actually has

73
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,920
a contract with the company to produce

74
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,239
the app to maintain the app and that

75
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:01,040
comes at a cost So therefore just asking

76
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,959
for that $5 a month is to assist the

77
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:07,200
company It's to maintain the app so we

78
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,480
can bring you this content freely Yes

79
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,640
freely That is why it's a wonderful

80
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,440
blessing to be part of the UG family and

00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,959

00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:29,280
word to say about the app Well we said

88
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,200
at the beginning when God good morning

89
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720
everybody you're welcome in Jesus name

90
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,200
Look our heart our purpose the reason

91
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,080
why we are here is for our spiritual

92
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,000
growth

93
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,120
We are so grateful to God for the life

94
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,440
of discipline we have learned from

95
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,280
prophet Joshua while we under him

96
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,040
disciple of Christ Sometime we say

97
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,599
disciple of prophet Joshua but he in his

98
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:58,640
heart we are disciple of Christ why he

99
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,159
want us to embrace God's kind of

100
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:03,879
lifestyle And I realized that

101
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:07,439
today what a grace to have lived with

102
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:10,879
him for 19 to 20 years receiving

103
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,760
discipline of the spirit

104
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,199
I'm telling you my brothers and

105
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,280
sisters we look at the world today a lot

106
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:22,479
of experience we had today that we

107
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,479
realize that the common problem we all

108
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:26,919
face all over the world particularly

109
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:30,000
believers is nothing else but the

110
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
character of Christ how to handle

111
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,600
situation how to settle your relation

112
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,199
with God on the solid foundation of his

113
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:39,759
word by trusting his word how to come to

114
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:42,160
spiritual maturity because he was a

115
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,120
matured manm M no matter the persecution

116
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,120
where people said they never derail him

117
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,240
from his focus in God when you look at

118
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,080
the life of the apostles of old it

119
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,360
wasn't easy for them they face acts

120
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,520
8:9 terrible persecutions but they

121
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,199
stayed in faith

122
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:05,919
unwavering Jesus you know next week we

123
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:07,800
are celebrating Easter

124
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,960
right we should not forget that Easter

125
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680
was a moment of suffering uffering where

126
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,039
Jesus willingly chose the way of

127
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:19,520
suffering of the cross not for himself

128
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,400
but for you and

129
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,039
I It wasn't man's way It was God's way

130
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:26,639
That's the way God's wisdom brought

131
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:29,440
salvation on the earth to be redeemed

132
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,160
from our past so we can walk in newness

133
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,759
of life in a new covenant of God's grace

134
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:36,919
The question

135
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:40,320
is why today when you look all around

136
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
the world you see many faith are in

137
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,800
crisis

138
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,680
You see people the faith is no longer

139
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,160
strong Some say ah I'm losing my faith

140
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,639
My faith is challenged and lot of

141
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:56,240
complain we have about situations lot of

142
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,400
discouragement We can see that people

143
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,560
the fire is no longer there People are

144
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,680
lukewarm They they don't pray But this

145
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,440
is time to be stronger than ever before

146
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,600
What's the cause of that That's the

147
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,960
purpose of this program today And the

148
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,400
purpose of the app as well And the

149
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,720
purpose of the app is to walk on a daily

150
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240
basis to know how to tackle every

151
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,319
situation of your life because life is

152
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:21,400
all about

153
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,479
relationship Relationship with God but

154
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:25,880

00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,479
It's all about communication The

159
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:39,919
question how do we relate with people

160
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:41,759
How do we relate in our business place

161
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,960
in our working place reflecting Christ

162
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,800
character in us in a victorious way

163
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,440
That's the purpose of this

164
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160
app That's to grow

165
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520

Soul and body You all know the body We

169
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,520
we become imbrio in our mother's womb

170
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,160
But see how big we are today Function of

171
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,120
time We never do anything We grow as the

172
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,280
tree is growing By the function of time

173
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,080
as time grows

174
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,639
on in our soul in our intellect We grow

175
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:23,360
by what we learn We learn at school

176
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,599

178
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Life is a learning

179
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,039

physically The only way we can grow

184
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,599
spiritually is by obedience to God

Obedience to God's word That's the only

186
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:51,599
way Now that's why we are here today

187
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:54,759
This app on this program is to help

188
00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,520
you to practice the presence of God in

189
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080
your daily basis in a practical way

190
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000
because you know as well it's also so

191
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,919
useful to have our own platform because

192
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:05,759
when we have our own platform it means

193
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,240
that we're not restricted in any way um

194
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,440
in what God directs us to say to you So

195
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,160
we can have um one-on-one interactions

196
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,479
with you and and as God put in our heart

197
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:18,720
we can we can interact with you and that

198
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,400
is what God has put in our heart to to

199
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,400
disciple people to build people with

200
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,919
everything that we've learned during our

201
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:26,879
journey of uh disciplehip like Rasin

202
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:29,039
said we're disciples of Jesus under the

203
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:30,960
ministry of prophet TB Joshua while he

204
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,240
was alive on this earth and that's why

205
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,680
we we want to encourage you to really

206
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,039
become a member of the household of

207
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,039
faith because it's an opportunity for

208
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,039
you to go deeper in your walk walk with

209
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,040
God And if you believe this ministry is

210
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,120
sent to you we see so many people saying

211
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,040
"Oh the Bible teaching is so interesting

212
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,080
It's so good." You know this is what you

213
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,320
need Because what we want to talk about

214
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,040
today is actually how can we be renewed

215
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,360
in our

216
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,160
mind Many of us we live our life as if

217
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800
we're not living a a victorious life

218
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120
What do I mean We we we we say we're

219
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,720
Christians We say we believe in Jesus

220
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440
but we seem to be so consumed with the

221
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640
natural circumstances around us

222
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,360
that things like fear worry anxiety

223
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,839
control us on a daily basis That is

224
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:21,680
because we have to renew our mind each

225
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,399
day I want to take us to Romans Romans

226
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,279
12:2 And do not be conformed to this

227
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,000
world but be transformed by the renewing

228
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,760
of your mind that you may prove what is

229
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,040
that good and acceptable and perfect

230
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,839
will of God So why are we talking about

231
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:41,120
this Because all of us want to know

232
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,640
God's will for our life All of us want

233
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040
to know how do I know what God wants me

234
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,200
to do on a daily basis How can the Holy

235
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,600
Spirit speak to me And the Holy Spirit

236
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,279
can only speak to you when your mind is

237
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:54,480
renewed because the Holy Spirit never

238
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,680
bypasses the mind The Holy Spirit speaks

239
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,000
to our mind That's right Speaks to our

240
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,440
heart We learned about the spirit soul

241
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,120
and body last week and I'm sure we'll go

242
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,800
into that again today But we can't

243
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,839
ignore the mind The mind must be renewed

244
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:12,959
in order to be renewed like our spirit

245
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:15,600
is renewed When we read the word of God

246
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,200
our spirit is refreshed Our mind is

247
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440
renewed Remember when we accept Jesus as

248
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,279
our Lord and Savior our spirit is born

249
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:23,120
again but we need to make sure our mind

250
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920
is renewed daily And that is why we're

251
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,360
here at the University of God That is

252
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,839
why we're here to seek the spirit of God

253
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:31,120
We're all students I want to add

254
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,720
something to what she says because we

255
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,800
are getting to the heart of the matter

256
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,440
And I just took my Bible in the book of

257
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Exodus chapter 16 Yesterday you know we

258
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,120
are in a time of prayer and meditation

259
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,959
preparing for the Easter to come It's a

260
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:47,040
time of sober reflection for every

261
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,320
Christian My mind was

262
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,800
struck by the behavior of the people of

263
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,279
Israel in the

264
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,959
wilderness They have seen the mightiness

265
00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:00,320
of God in the land of Egypt when they

266
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,720
saw how

267
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,600
God did signs and wonders miraculous

268
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880
signs and wonders to set them free They

269
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,279
have seen the Red Sea opened by God They

270
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,160
have seen the pillar of cloud by day

271
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240
which was representing the presence of

272
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,200
the angel and they saw the pillar of

273
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,240
fire by night the living presence of God

274
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,200
they saw it

275
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,040
physically But after they left the land

276
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,079
of bondage of

277
00:11:31,079 --> 00:11:33,360
servitude God took them in the journey

278
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,720
in the wilderness for a

279
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,959
purpose What was the purpose We realize

280
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:40,800
that it does not take long for God to

281
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,480
set us free from trouble one second

282
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,760
But it take years a lifetime for God to

283
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880
change our behavior our character and to

284
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,200
change our mind

285
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,600
Let me read Exodus chapter 16 verse two

286
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,279
The whole congregation of the children

287
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:02,079
of Israel complained against Moses and

288
00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:04,880
Aaron in the wilderness

289
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,959
Three The children of Israel said to

290
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:10,399
them "Oh that we had died by the hand of

291
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:11,959
the Lord in the land of

292
00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:15,760
Egypt when we sat by the pots of meat

293
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,800
and when we ate bread to the fool for

294
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,480
you have brought us out into the

295
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160
wilderness to kill this assembly with

296
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,000
hunger." That's a complain I asked

297
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,160
myself why they complain We realize that

298
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,399
the Bible says what happened to them at

299
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:35,600
that time is a lesson to all of us here

300
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,760
There is a

301
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,600
parallel between the way God rescued

302
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,839
them in Egypt God took them to the

303
00:12:42,839 --> 00:12:46,399
wilderness and the way we experience God

304
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:47,959
when we are

305
00:12:47,959 --> 00:12:51,920
saved in the Easter night In one night

306
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
God stroke all the firstborn of Egypt to

307
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:57,040
the animals and Pharaoh was shocked and

308
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,880
they sent them away immediately They

309
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,560
released him and they were free from 430

310
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:05,200
years of bondage and they and they were

311
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,519
free They're supposed to be happy They

312
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:09,279
saw the goodness of God the greatness of

313
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,240
God in their lives And what happened in

314
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,680
the wilderness God put them to the test

315
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,079
God allowed them to go through the

316
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:20,320
wilderness for a purpose When you read

317
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,480
your Bible the Bible says God could have

318
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,920
make them pass by the way of the

319
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Philistine which is shorter But God say

320
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,040
no because they will see war If they see

321
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,800
war they will be afraid and they will

322
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,519
run back to Egypt Does it mean God is

323
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:36,440
not great enough to take them

324
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,920
there That means

325
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,959
simply once we are saved once Jesus

326
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:45,560
comes into our heart we have the Holy

327
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:49,519
Spirit Our spirit is free indeed We have

328
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:52,680
a new conscience We have a new heart set

329
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,519
free and much more We have the presence

330
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:58,320
of the Holy Spirit abiding in our hearts

331
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,120
Ephesians 3:13 says "Christ dwells in

332
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,480
our heart through faith." So God is with

333
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,320
me So now the question

334
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,600
is we are made right with God in our

335
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,040
spirit That's part that is new We are a

336
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,399
new creation a new heart a new spirit

337
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:18,040
But this

338
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,920
body this soul this old man is still

339
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,800
there M so there is a conflict between

340
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,199
this old man and a conflict between the

341
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:28,920
one that is new inside of

342
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,959
me What does it mean This means my the

343
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,240
way I'm I was educated my family

344
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,880
background my culture my tradition and

345
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,920
the lessons I of life my education all

346
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,040
these frame my intellectually So I grow

347
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,720
physically but I grow intellectually

348
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,160
mentally by the lesson for my culture

349
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,519
from universe that form me me talking my

350
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,040
decision my action in the natural but

351
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,920
that does not fit the way of God because

352
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,120
God's ways are not our ways his thoughts

353
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680
are not our thoughts Isaiah 55 from

354
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,680
verse 1

355
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,079
to8 so now we have Christ in

356
00:15:11,079 --> 00:15:15,680
us what about our relationship in our

357
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,360
family in your marriage in your friends

358
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,839
in your community in your work Where is

359
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:26,959
Jesus The problem we have is that we

360
00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:30,880
lack consciousness of God's presence in

361
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,720
those

362
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,720
areas Salvation is not just basically a

363
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,600
spiritual rebirth It has to affect my

364
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,360
soul my mind my body and my character

365
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,120
Every area of our life every areas of my

366
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600
life M now when you see in the book of

367
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,279
act chapter 2 the first disciples of

368
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,800
Jesus after the outpouring of the Holy

369
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,680
Spirit they went they sold their

370
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,440
businesses stop everything their houses

371
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,360
and were living in community why they

372
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,480
were serving God with all their

373
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:05,399
lives spirit soul and body

374
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:10,399
why because Christianity is a lifestyle

375
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,320
they serve God not just in spirit by

376
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,360
going to

377
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,519
But in their daily living all their

378
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:17,920
lives were serving God That's why they

379
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,480
call them disciples of Christ mean they

380
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,440
embrace Christ lifestyle to think like

381
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Jesus to speak like Jesus to act like

382
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Jesus and to manifest Christ likeness in

383
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,800
their community in their relationship in

384
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,959
a physical form right into the world

385
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:36,720
where we are And it's impossible to do

386
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,320
that without the help of the Holy Spirit

387
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,880
Impossible Why it is impossible Because

388
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,720
man's way are not God's way The way I I

389
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
where I come from okay I'm from Africa

390
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,920
you're from UK right We have a lot of

391
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,600
differences It is natural It is normal

392
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240
to have differences in life But what

393
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,199
makes us one is Christ philosophy What

394
00:16:59,199 --> 00:17:02,480
makes us one is faith I'm talking to

395
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,360
people all all over the world We have

396
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,120
different upbringing but what makes us

397
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:09,280
born today is Jesus

398
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,959
That reminds me of what Prophet TB

399
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:13,360
Joshua said when we were disciples He

400
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:14,959
said "You're not here for any culture

401
00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:17,439
African culture Nigerian culture We're

402
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:20,079
all here for Christ culture." And that

403
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:22,079
is what we're here for to learn how to

404
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,799
be like Jesus And it was such an amazing

405
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:26,799
opportunity to be with people from so

406
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:28,319
many different backgrounds and so many

407
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,320
different cultures and upbringings but

408
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,840
at the same time our purpose was to

409
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,120
embrace Christ culture And I think the

410
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,440
temptation many many people face today

411
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,919
is to reduce Christianity to a to a code

412
00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:45,120
of ethics Oh to be a good person or to

413
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,679
have some moral value in certain ways

414
00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:51,120
But actually it's to be like Jesus And

415
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:53,440
we can't remove the Holy Spirit from

416
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,760
that because Jesus promised us the Holy

417
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,120
Spirit would be the comforter to be with

418
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,520
us forever can't obey the written word

419
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,039
or do what Jesus commands us to

420
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:05,360
do fleshly humanly without the help of

421
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,080
the Holy Spirit We cannot be a disciple

422
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,160
of Jesus without the help of the Holy

423
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,000
Spirit This coming now why God gave us

424
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,880
his spirit We have to repeat and go back

425
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,880
to the

426
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,320
foundation We are too conditioned to

427
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,880
limit the Holy Ghost only to power

428
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,360
healing power prophetic power the gift

429
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,200
of the spirit

430
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,720
But the major theme the major purpose

431
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,840
God Almighty gave you and I his spirit

432
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,600
is to make us sons and daughters of God

433
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,520
And the purpose of the Holy Spirit in

434
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,120
our heart is to develop righteousness

435
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,919
godly character

436
00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:47,880
The fruit of the

437
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,039
spirit

438
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:52,480
means I don't need to say I'm a

439
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,240
Christian

440
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,360
Let the goodness of God be evident be

441
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:00,480
seen in the way I speak in the way I

442
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,360
talk in the way I relate with people

443
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:05,840
People should see something different in

444
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,120
you even in your working place People

445
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,320
should see your kindness the way you

446
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,240
approach things the wisdom of God That's

447
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,880
what God want in your life So how is it

448
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,440
now We are so conditioned to think that

449
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,160
God holy spirit is not only is only for

450
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,960
power for for healing power No it's for

451
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,440
godly character He's our helper That's

452
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,480
why Jesus gave us his spirit

453
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Christianity

454
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,400
is a lifestyle

455
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,799
Faith is a lifestyle of trusting in God

456
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:41,240
Faith cannot take a day

457
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,160
off A break in faith is a break in

458
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,679
Christ

459
00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:48,000
God want to be with me He want to be

460
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,440
with you every single day But sometime

461
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,400
we hold his hands ourselves

462
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,160
When God led them into the wilderness

463
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,760
God wanted to show them how faithful he

464
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,120
is No man would take you in the

465
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,080
wilderness But God is

466
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,919
sufficient He knew he was able to care

467
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:08,480
for them to protect them to give them

468
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,120
mana to make water to come from a rock

469
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:14,559
Exodus 17 If God is able to be with you

470
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:16,559
in the wilderness how much more when you

471
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,960
are in the town

472
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,880
what God wanted to do is to take them to

473
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,400
a process to discipline

474
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,400
them so they can their mind their way of

475
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,120
thinking will change Their way of

476
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,480
talking will change What is thinking and

477
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,440
and words That is faith

478
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,440
We believe and we speak the word of

479
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,559
faith all the time But faith does not

480
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:45,840
just happen It is built How can faith

481
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,400
grow We need to grow spiritually We grow

482
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,799
spiritually when we hear and obey God

483
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:53,360
That's what God wanted That's why in

484
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:57,039
Deuteronomy 8 verse 1 to2 1 1-4 God say

485
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,520
I make them pass by the wilderness and I

486
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,400
cause you to suffer hunger and thirst to

487
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,240
teach you that man shall not live by

488
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,000
bread alone but every word that comes

489
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,400
from the mouth of the Lord And that is

490
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,039
where the issue is number one for them

491
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:15,200
And for us today Exodus chapter 15 verse

492
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,400
26 hear what God

493
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,799
says If you diligently heed the voice of

494
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:24,559
the Lord your God and do what is right

495
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,200
oh my Lord that is the key And do what

496
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,640
is right that means act on the word

497
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,200
This is the problem we have today Yeah

498
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,640
If you diligently heed the voice of the

499
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,919
Lord and do what is right in his

500
00:21:40,919 --> 00:21:44,720
sight This is where the issue is in our

501
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,080
spirit in our conscious We hear the

502
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,360
inner voice of God telling us do this do

503
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,600
that inspiration come But when the mind

504
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,080
is not renewed no it's me it's not God

505
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,159
We refuse to act on it We refuse to act

506
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:03,520
on it Suggestion is coming intuition is

507
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,200
coming from the Holy Spirit who dwells

508
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,600
in our

509
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,559
heart because they were having the

510
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:10,799
pillar of cloud We have more than the

511
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,559
pillar of cloud of the Israelite We have

512
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:15,360
holy spirit in our heart

513
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:18,400
The spirit of God will tell you wake up

514
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,799
and pray in the night This body

515
00:22:23,159 --> 00:22:25,679
know the Holy Ghost will shake you into

516
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:27,760
positive action but we resist because

517
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,720
our mind is not renewed We think it is

518
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,799
us It's our own mind It's our own body

519
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:35,000
That's why we resist

520
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,240
No If God's power can set them free in

521
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,000
one

522
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,320
night God it took 40 years in the

523
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,919
wilderness for God to change their mind

524
00:22:43,919 --> 00:22:46,320
and character

525
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,559
and many of them refuse to believe and

526
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:50,120
fall into the

527
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,880
wilderness We have the spirit of Jesus

528
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,880
in our

529
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,120
heart But why it is why do we find

530
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,520
people complaining today Because our

531
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,039
mind is not renewed Because our mind is

532
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,760
not renewed We continue like Jesus

533
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,720
rebuked Peter to think like man think to

534
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,640
speak in the old way in the old nature

535
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,400
The Bible say when you are saved never

536
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,000
you think speak or act on the level of

537
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600
the old life Write that down The minute

538
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,320
you are saved that you receive salvation

539
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,919
from Jesus Never think or talk or act on

540
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:25,600
the level of your old life That is

541
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,799
that's where the problem is Change your

542
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:29,120
thoughts and change your words Change

543
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:32,960
your thought and change your words

544
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,880
Now if I speak in the old nature myself

545
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,600
is talking Ah you I will deal with you I

546
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,360
would do this It's the first talking is

547
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,200
flesh is talking That's why prophet gave

548
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,760
us a prayer Holy spirit take more of me

549
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,400
Give me more of

550
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,120
you when I'm too much of myself

551
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:57,679
I the one talking It's the soul myself

552
00:23:57,679 --> 00:24:00,559
my mind my will my decision my emotion

553
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:02,960
is talking

554
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,520
And we air away from God's way And the

555
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,360
flesh will lead us and we begin to act

556
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:11,039
out of character The question is why our

557
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:14,720
mind is so disturbed by the things we

558
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,159
see we hear And that is the issue When

559
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:20,840
God led them in the wilderness they were

560
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,559
thirsty God did it on purpose

561
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:26,400
Instead of praying God give us water

562
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,039
they

563
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:30,559
complained Instead of praying to God you

564
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:32,039
complain to

565
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:35,240
man God is faithful He knows your

566
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,600
need So in the wilderness anytime they

567
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,080
face situations on the outside they

568
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,159
begin to murmur They want you to stone

569
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:46,000
mothers to death because of natural

570
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,240
circumstances of life

571
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,960
Today when we are born again we have a

572
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,400
new spirit We have a new soul We have

573
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,480
the Holy Spirit dwelling in us But now

574
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,880
why it is difficult to change my mind

575
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,799
Because my willingness is required by

576
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:08,720
God Thank you That's the difficulty God

577
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,720
is

578
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,840
finding God demands your faith Uncomp

579
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,679
uncompromising demand for faith That's

580
00:25:15,679 --> 00:25:18,400
how it the uncompromising demand for

581
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,799
faith What they say God wants your

582
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:22,880
willingness

583
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,320
That's the greatest role you can play If

584
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,240
you are willing to get out of your

585
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,640
problem if you're willing to change your

586
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,480
life if you're willing to really meet

587
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,200
Jesus then the half the job is half done

588
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,360
because Jesus is always willing to meet

589
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,640
you to change you to get you out of your

590
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600
problem But you have to be willing first

591
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,120
Remember the people that Jesus met where

592
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:49,520
he asked them "Do you want to get well

593
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,640
Do you want to be free?" Because Jesus

594
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,080
had the power to be able to set them

595
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,400
free immediately but he wanted to hear

596
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,000
their willingness not just from their

597
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,400
mouth but from their heart Remember it's

598
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,960
a heart that Jesus hears Is your heart

599
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,320
willing this morning Is your heart

600
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,279
willing today to get out of your old

601
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:10,000
life and start living how Jesus wants

602
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,679
you to live Because if your heart is

603
00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:14,880
willing then the job is half done Yes

604
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,039
50% of the battle 50% of the victory We

605
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,720
need to learn the ways of God

606
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,720
Knowing God is not only to see miracles

607
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,640
signs and wonders but to learn his ways

608
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,840
The book of Psalm

609
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,000
103:7 says "God showed his deeds to the

610
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,400
children of Israel

611
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,080
but he showed his ways to

612
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,120
Moses." And that was the big difference

613
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:53,000
Moses knew the way of the Lord but the

614
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,520
people did not know the way of God

615
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,799
despite all the miracle they saw

616
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:01,840
When situation happens if you follow the

617
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,880
narrow way of Jesus you will not act on

618
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,880
the situation you will inquire from God

619
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,520
to know Lord what is your mind What is

620
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,360
God's mind on this matter

621
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:20,360
Isaiah Ruth can you read Isaiah 55 verse

622
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:24,039
8 We need to learn the way of the Holy

623
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:27,039
Spirit God has given us the Holy Spirit

624
00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:29,440
We need to develop our relationship with

625
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,840
him We need to cooperate with him

626
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,120
because he wants our

627
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:38,200
willingness Holy Spirit works with us in

628
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,720
cooperation

629
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Means my will must submit to God's will

630
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,279
before the power of the Holy Ghost is

631
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:47,400
manifested I

632
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,679
repeat my will your will must submit to

633
00:27:51,679 --> 00:27:54,240
God's will before the power of God can

634
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,600
be manifested to change your

635
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,960
circumstances Let's read Mhm For my

636
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,039
thoughts are not your thoughts nor are

637
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:03,919
your ways my ways says the Lord For as

638
00:28:03,919 --> 00:28:05,919
the heavens are higher than the earth so

639
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:08,720
my ways higher than your ways are my

640
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,799
thoughts than your thoughts God say his

641
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:14,960
thoughts are higher than our thoughts M

642
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,320
when I have thoughts of discouragement

643
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,480
the end has come God say the end has not

644
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,679
come It's just the beginning You say "Oh

645
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:24,399
it's it's terrible We can't do this We

646
00:28:24,399 --> 00:28:25,840
can't because of your thoughts." God say

647
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,120
"Yes you can do it." That's why he said

648
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,880
to everybody in Jeremiah

649
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,480
29:11 "The thoughts that I have for you

650
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,880
is to prosper you not to harm you to

651
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,799
give you a hope and a future."

652
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:42,080
Absolutely We need to know the divine

653
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,360
person of the Holy Spirit leading us

654
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,679
When we say disciple we are disciples of

655
00:28:47,679 --> 00:28:49,919
the Holy Spirit

656
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:53,039
He is the shepherd that leads us today

657
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:55,120
Jesus said "My sheep shall hear my

658
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,200
voice." John chapter 10 27 Jesus does in

659
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,919
my heart through the person of the Holy

660
00:29:00,919 --> 00:29:04,480
Spirit We should be able to hear the

661
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,000
voice of the Holy Spirit in our heart

662
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,080
We it is time to learn to distinguish

663
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,640
how he speaks to us Whether in thoughts

664
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,200
intimation suggestion or words or dreams

665
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,760
We need to know How do we know It is

666
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,080
possible to know The only way to know is

667
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,200
to yield your heart to

668
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,600
him What do I mean by that That's why

669
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,600
meditation

670
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,159
When trouble come situation come after

671
00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:36,480
you pray go to the secret place of your

672
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,679
heart and begin to meditate

673
00:29:39,679 --> 00:29:43,200
ask the Holy Spirit to help you Ask God

674
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,679
to open the eyes of your faith Begin to

675
00:29:45,679 --> 00:29:47,440
look for him Seek him in your heart

676
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,039
diligently

677
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:52,159
and then the way he answers you he will

678
00:29:52,159 --> 00:29:54,640
give you a thought can come to your

679
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,159
conscious to your mind if your conscious

680
00:29:56,159 --> 00:29:59,720
is alert Okay Now let me come back to

681
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,840
that graphic a bit So to to make it more

682
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,720
God say he made me with a

683
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,919
spirit This is soul This is

684
00:30:10,919 --> 00:30:14,240
you and this is your physical body Three

685
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,760
parts God gave us right We have seen

686
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:24,080
this one grow in time This one grow when

687
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,640
you when you study this one But this one

688
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,640
can only

689
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,960
grow when you hear the Holy Spirit here

690
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,840
in your heart in the spirit The question

691
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,880
we have today is this section of our

692
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,760
lives Let me move down

693
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,880
gently Good

694
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Yes Now we are here

695
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,480
Okay This is your

696
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,200
body This one Go

697
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:05,120
ahead This is your natural human body We

698
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,760
all have And this is the one that is

699
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,760
relationship with the world Who Your

700
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,600
father your mom your friends your work

701
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,520
and everything you do in relationship

702
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,200
here in the world This our

703
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,240
responsibility The question we have we

704
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,600
tend to forget that faith God we are

705
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,640
conditioned to think God is not

706
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,080
interested by this one and that's a big

707
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,960
mistake The Bible says this is our

708
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,520
relationship with God Is this our

709
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,080
relationship with man This is

710
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,240
responsibility towards God in the

711
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,200
spirit and this is in the

712
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,640
natural in the world this side And this

713
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,120
now we have a separation between the two

714
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,200
This is this side is your spiritual side

715
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Your spirit and your soul This part is

716
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,640
your

717
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,039
body Now the question is here is the

718
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:00,720
trouble we face We always separate in

719
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,519
our mind in our in this thinking You

720
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:04,720
think that God is not concerned about

721
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,279
this It's a big

722
00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:09,679
mistake God is concerned about this This

723
00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:11,159
section

724
00:32:11,159 --> 00:32:15,039
here is your belief in God You believe

725
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:16,799
in God This is your conscience This is

726
00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:18,799
the spirit of God Holy Spirit speak to

727
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:21,840
you here and give you inspiration give

728
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,320
you revelation So when you are praying

729
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,039
because you have situation

730
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:28,720
here when you pray in your heart without

731
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,519
making any noise something will prompt

732
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:33,200
your mind here your conscience This is

733
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:33,960
your

734
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,559
conscience This is where the will of God

735
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,600
is This is where the mind of God is This

736
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,080
is where solution comes But if you look

737
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,960
at the natural we forget this

738
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,320
So what did God did to help them in the

739
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,720
wilderness God allow the physical

740
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,760
presence of the cloud to give them focus

741
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,320
in God When they look at the cloud ah

742
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,120
God is here Oh not afraid In the night

743
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,960
they saw the light God is here in our

744
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,519
midst So they were looking visibly at

745
00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:05,360
the presence of God So they would not be

746
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,880
afraid They focus with that But today as

747
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,960
Christian we can't do that anymore We

748
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,519
have the Holy Spirit here in our heart

749
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:14,960
We have our conscious with the

750
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,960
communication point contact point We

751
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,480
have to learn to listen to the inner

752
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,120
voice here in our

753
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,399
heart Now here this section now is where

754
00:33:24,399 --> 00:33:25,960
we have

755
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,440
problem

756
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,000
physically our soul This is our mind

757
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,600
This is our decision This is our

758
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,799
will Our emotions Everything is

759
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:41,600
here emotions And this one is influenced

760
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,360
by this one

761
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,120
When they were in the wilderness they

762
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:45,880
were

763
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,399
thirsty and their mind begin to think

764
00:33:48,399 --> 00:33:53,640
wrongly Anytime your mind here think

765
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,279
negatively you are out of faith Anytime

766
00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,120
your mind think negatively based on

767
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,519
circumstances you get out of faith Why

768
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:03,120
Because you begin to doubt the goodness

769
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,519
of God here Whatever God says here this

770
00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:08,399
one contradict it Anytime something good

771
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:10,320
come from your conscious revelation

772
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,000
something contrary come to your mind to

773
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,520
say no that's why Satan did if God say

774
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,159
oh go to America a voice say no don't go

775
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:22,639
it's you go say do this a voice say no

776
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:25,599
is it from God contradiction so there's

777
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:28,480
a battle between revelation here and

778
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,720
sense knowledge here which one do you

779
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:35,040
follow we have this is our trouble this

780
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,040

00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,040
section of your life That's what renew

879
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,280
your mind You have an effort to pay Your

880
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,359
willingness is there You have to

881
00:38:43,359 --> 00:38:45,040
practice the presence of God in a

882
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,280
practical way deep inside of you in your

883
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,760
heart the consciousness of God the

884
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,440
presence of God Anywhere you

885
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,160
go if you do that your mind will never

886
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,880
be disconnected from the things of God

887
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,000
If my heart by meditating and my mind

888
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,480
are soaked with the word of God I will

889
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,320
speak the word of word of life here I

890
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,280
will speak right and act right because I

891
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,520
think right That's why the first thought

892
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,440
in the morning and the last one before

893
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,079
you sleep is so important because we're

894
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,680
going on a journey and we're coming from

895
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,480
a journey Um when we when we sleep we're

896
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,800
going on a journey So that is why what

897
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,119
you do before sleeping is so important

898
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:27,520
What you think in the same way the

899
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,839
thought when you wake up is very

900
00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:31,599
important That's why like Rasine said

901
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:33,280
you know you're going to be connected to

902
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,280
the presence of God if you make sure

903
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,520
those first thoughts and those last

904
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,000
thoughts are all about Jesus Your

905
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,720
thoughts are the seed of your life

906
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:49,200
Your thoughts are the seed of your life

907
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,040
Your

908
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,880
life will always go to the level of your

909
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,960
thoughts

910
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:55,880
Your

911
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,839
belief depends on the level of your

912
00:39:58,839 --> 00:40:02,320
thoughts If you meditate on God's word

913
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,400
it develops in your heart and belief

914
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,880
increases deep inside of you If you

915
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,480
speak the word of faith your faith

916
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,119
increases That's why the Bible says the

917
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:13,200
if you think negatively you are bound to

918
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,680
talk negatively Out of the abundance of

919
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,960
your heart of your thinking the mouth

920
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,400
will speak So what you have to do now

921
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,520
the first battle we have if you must do

922
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,119
anything think

923
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:29,119
first before you act on what you see

924
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:31,599
before you act on what you hear pray in

925
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:34,160
your heart for God's intervention Go to

926
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,000
your father Involve God in prayer in

927
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,640
your heart When you have God ability

928
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,040
will come from God Jesus will walk you

929
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,760
through all the circumstances of life So

930
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,720
now how do I discipline myself to think

931
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:48,720
right How can I think positively Ruth

932
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,640
I'm asking you

933
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,440
How can I think right The only way you

934
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,200
can train yourself to think right is by

935
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,640
reading and meditating on the word of

936
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,560
God Because it's like we've talked about

937
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,960
this before When you're drinking water

938
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,720
the water has to go down When you're

939
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:06,880
drinking water it can't come up again It

940
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,319
it's going down in your throat and it

941
00:41:08,319 --> 00:41:09,760
will go through your body where where it

942
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,960
needs to go But you have to drink that

943
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,280
water first In the same way when you

944
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,319
read the word of God for salvation's

945
00:41:17,319 --> 00:41:20,400
sake and you meditate on that word then

946
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,599
the word will affect your words and

947
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:26,560
affect your thoughts because it it it

948
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,000
has nowhere else to go It's definitely

949
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,720
going to go to your heart It will It's

950
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:33,119
like it it's it's going to go to your

951
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:36,800
heart So disciples mean you have to

952
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,400
educate your mind with the word of God

953
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,560
You have to discipline your mind by

954
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,800
meditating on the word of God You have

955
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,079
to train yourself Train your mind Okay

956
00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:50,160
The Bible says they were serving God

957
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,720
with their life How do you believe With

958
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:56,800
our heart this we believe God right But

959
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,119
with our

960
00:41:58,119 --> 00:42:01,000
body we give ourself to God as a living

961
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,079
sacrifice That's what she was reading

962
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:05,640
This body need to be

963
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,520
crucified This man and body need to be

964
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,280
disciplined to submit to hear the

965
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,119
revelation of God How do we do that When

966
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:17,280
you read the Bible when you meditate on

967
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,680
the Bible you speak God's word over your

968
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,240
life When you meditate the word dominate

969
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:25,040
first here your conscience and then he

970
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,000
will affect your mind You will begin to

971
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,319
see things differently You begin to see

972
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:32,480
from God's point of view If God give you

973
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,280
a message and this message is a way out

974
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,200
and you don't hear it you cannot act on

975
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,560
it But Holy Spirit come if you submit to

976
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,680
God and that is the issue How do we

977
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,280
submit to God But go to your prayer room

978
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,680
Start by your knees Open your mouth to

979
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,079
God Begin to pray That's the greatest

980
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:54,720
way to submit to God That's why you pray

981
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:56,960
It's not something complicated And we

982
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,440
pray believing that God is absolutely

983
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,880
listening to us Prayer is not just

984
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,520

990
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,760
heart When you begin to speak that

God says here This mind is changed is

1007
00:43:51,839 --> 00:43:54,800
renewed when we understand the will of

1008
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,520
God in our

1009
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,680
life and get the

1010
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,200

00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,040
cross

1012
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,160
and Jesus said "Father if it is possible

1013
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,000
let this cup pass by This is our minds

1014
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:15,880
will not my will Let your will be done

1015
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:18,480
This will exercise our own will our own

1016
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,920
decision with our mind based on the

1017
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,599
information we get But our prayer not my

1018
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:26,319
will Let the will of God be done here

1019
00:44:26,319 --> 00:44:28,400
Holy Spirit help me This is why we have

1020
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,760
the Holy Spirit here This is the Holy

1021
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,560
Spirit When we face trial and difficult

1022
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,400
situation God is there He never changes

1023
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,720
He's there forever with you He will

1024
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:40,240
never move one second He will never

1025
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,240
abound one second The problem we have we

1026
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,119
are the one that abound on

1027
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:47,839
this So when God say in numbers chapter

1028
00:44:47,839 --> 00:44:50,000
4 enter the promised land and conquer

1029
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,160
and they saw giant what did they say

1030
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,160
We cannot No we cannot These are more

1031
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,520
powerful They will destroy They're

1032
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:58,960
bigger than them They begin to see the

1033
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,040
giant bigger than God And they were

1034
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,599
afraid because of what this mind and the

1035
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:06,720
senses what they saw here They forgot

1036
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,960
here that God was

1037
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,680
here Jose Joshua and Kalev go and read

1038
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,760
numbers chapter 14 God said because

1039
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,680
Joshua have a different heart a

1040
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,920
different mind he never forgot me He

1041
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,480
will enter the promised land But every

1042
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,160
person who allows circumstance to

1043
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,920
disturb you to speak negatively against

1044
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,800
God they never enter the promised land

1045
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,800
Someone's asking a question I don't know

1046
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,040
how to balance between my job and

1047
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,079
spending more time with God Okay good

address Okay Lydia I thank you for this

1051
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:44,640
question This is where the problem is

1052
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,160
Sometime we only believe that spiritual

1053
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,920
and natural are separated And that's the

1054
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,319
mistake we made Mhm We are on in the

1055
00:45:52,319 --> 00:45:54,640
spirit when we go to church Immediately

1056
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,240
leave the church we are off We go to the

1057
00:45:57,240 --> 00:46:00,240
natural and we and we begin to use our

1058
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:02,800
own human effort There is no separation

1059
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,200
my dear sister That's the question What

1060
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,960
you call balance Balance mean work as if

1061
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,119
everything depends on you And while you

1062
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:12,880
are working pray in your heart as if

1063
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,280
everything depends on God

1064
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,760
You sing I sing as if everything depend

1065
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,920
on me But in my heart I pray as if

1066
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,240
everything depends on God I include God

1067
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,280
in my work I include God in everything I

1068
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,760
do I ask God give me strength to work I

1069
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,640
become a worker with a difference Yeah

1070
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,319
that's one thing I wanted to share You

1071
00:46:32,319 --> 00:46:35,440
know from my experience um in all those

1072
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,920
years of training with Prophet TB Joshua

1073
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,680
a majority of that time a lot of that

1074
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,359
time was spent doing different type of

1075
00:46:42,359 --> 00:46:46,800
work what we worked very hard and that

1076
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,000
work it was for a purpose What I mean is

1077
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,839
oh my god what I mean is it's not as if

1078
00:46:51,839 --> 00:46:54,520
we spend 24/7 you know kind

1079
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,920
of in in deep prayer and Bible reading

1080
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,560
and you know that work was to train our

1081
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,960
character and also there's something he

1082
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,599
told us you know to arrest our heart

1083
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:09,160
because when you're working for God's

1084
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,839
sake everything you do like Rasian said

1085
00:47:11,839 --> 00:47:14,400
you're doing it for God's sake Whatever

1086
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,839
you do you do it well Whatever is not

1087
00:47:15,839 --> 00:47:17,839
done well is not done at all So whatever

1088
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:20,880
you do you do it for God's sake Your

1089
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,880
work you're doing it for God's sake The

1090
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,160
things in the house you're doing it for

1091
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,599
God's sake The things with your children

1092
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:27,119
you're doing it for God's sake

1093
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:28,560
Everything you do you do it for God's

1094
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,520
sake to please God And in the midst of

1095
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,319
those daily challenges that happens when

1096
00:47:34,319 --> 00:47:37,520
we work it's a way for the character of

1097
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,240
Jesus to be to be seen in us It's when

1098
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:42,079
your hatred is provoked that you can

1099
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:43,440
respond in love It's when your

1100
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:44,880
impatience is provoked that your

1101
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,880
patience can can grow that your

1102
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,680
endurance can grow So I just wanted to

1103
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,599

doing uh no work and you just want to

1108
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,319
pray all the time you know we it's in

1109
00:48:04,319 --> 00:48:06,960
the midst of our challenges in life that

1110
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,280
most some of that comes with work that

1111
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,160
we can actually glorify God in that that

1112
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,480
we can reflect the image of Jesus Christ

1113
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,280
in us in community in in uh

1114
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,359
confrontation in challenges in life

1115
00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:23,280
struggles and ups and downs That's when

1116
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,119

on every section of our lives Now you

1128
00:48:49,359 --> 00:48:50,559

1129
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:52,720
work and prayer Let me read the book of

1130
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:56,079
Deuteronomy chapter 8 for you from verse

1131
00:48:56,079 --> 00:48:57,640
17 God

1132
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,960
said "Do when you say in your heart my

1133
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,599
power and my might of my hand have

1134
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:06,559
gained me this wealth."

1135
00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:09,680
And you shall remember the Lord your God

1136
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,800
May in your work remember God who give

1137
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,119
you brain who give you heartbeat who

1138
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:16,960

1139
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,960
It's God that strengthen you If you're

1140
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,280
intelligent who give you intelligence It

1141
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,400
is God If you're smart who give you that

1142
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,319
It is God When you do it without

1143
00:49:26,319 --> 00:49:28,160
complaining with joy you're doing it for

1144
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,400
God No You shall remember the Lord your

1145
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,359
God for he he is he who gives you power

1146

1147
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,720
He's the one that give you intelligence

1148
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:39,200
and knowledge that he may establish his

1149
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,200
covenant with you This is what we need

1150
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,520
to understand There's anointing of God

1151
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,520
for your work There's anointing for

1152
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,040
spiritual things Anointing for your

1153
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,640
marriage Anointing is supernatural

1154
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,760
ability to excel to be a worker with a

1155
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,160
difference to succeed whether you are a

1156
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,599
lawyer lawyer there's no difference

1157
00:49:57,599 --> 00:49:59,839
between God and your natural things God

1158
00:49:59,839 --> 00:50:01,520
want to be involved in every section of

1159
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,440
your life that is why the balance you're

1160
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,040
talking about there's no separation

1161
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,720
between the two as I work with all my

1162
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:10,520
strength with all my knowledge

1163
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,680
intellectual I pray for God's guidance

1164
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,480
because sometimes you walk but tomorrow

1165
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,559
who knows happen tomorrow Ask God to

1166
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:20,480
give you wisdom

1167
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,040
You need wisdom in your work Ask God to

1168
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,960
give you expression to know how to

1169
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,920
address issues at work How to be if

1170
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,760
you're a manager you know how to talk to

1171
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,920
people you know have idea you have

1172
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,040
insight It's

1173
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:38,160
God That is why God want you to exercise

1174
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,319
that faith here in the outside in your

1175
00:50:40,319 --> 00:50:42,480
work as well because this where the

1176
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,280
fruit of the spirit be revealed

1177
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,000
This section between you and God here is

1178
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,480
belief But this section is faith Faith

1179
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,160
is expressed on the outside By faith you

1180
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,280
show God in your working

1181
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,280
place By faith you show God in your

1182
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,839
marriage By faith you show God in

1183
00:51:01,839 --> 00:51:03,599
everything you do You show the character

1184
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:05,920
of God the fruit of the spirit Can you

1185
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,240
break that down You mentioned that from

1186
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:11,359
here it's belief and this side is is

1187
00:51:11,359 --> 00:51:12,640
faith That's that's interesting because

1188
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,160
it reminds me of the message where you

1189
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,280
talked about the difference between

1190
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,599
belief and faith Belief being the root

1191
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:19,680
Okay So can you just break that down for

1192
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,040
people Okay Let's go to Isaiah 37:31 If

1193
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,040
I could

1194
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,920
remember go to Isaiah

1195
00:51:30,359 --> 00:51:32,720
37:31 It's important to understand what

1196
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:34,079
we are saying The difference between

1197
00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:37,960
your spiritual side and your physical

1198
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,880
side Mhm Your spiritual side is your

1199
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,559
relationship with God That's what we

1200
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:45,359
call belief God will give you a

1201
00:51:45,359 --> 00:51:47,760
revelation in your heart in your spirit

1202
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,680
Right

1203
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,119
Yes Isaiah 37:31 Yes What does it say

1204
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:55,200
And the remnant who have escaped of the

1205
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,359
house of Judah shall again take root

1206
00:51:57,359 --> 00:52:00,000
downward and bear fruit upward Say it

1207
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,520
again Take root downward And what Bear

1208
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,200
fruit upward What does this

1209
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,240
mean You bear fruit

1210
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,000
downward You what You bear what You grow

1211
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,440
downward Yeah You take root downward and

1212
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,359
bear fruit upward Does it mean the root

1213
00:52:17,359 --> 00:52:19,599
of a tree are down inside the ground

1214
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:21,839
Deep inside

1215
00:52:21,839 --> 00:52:24,960
But the fruit is that upward mean upward

1216
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,319
outside You see the fruit This is a tree

1217
00:52:28,319 --> 00:52:30,720
When you see a tree when the root are

1218
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:34,079
big the the tree stands If the root does

1219
00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:37,920
not grow the tree can fall Right M so

1220
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,880
when faith grows downward and upward

1221
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,160
mean faith grow inside and

1222
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,160
outside in your heart inside is here in

1223
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,839
your heart in your spirit deep inside of

1224
00:52:47,839 --> 00:52:50,880
you is belief is belief mean the Bible

1225
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,640
say the word is in your heart and in

1226
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,920
your mouth in your heart in your spirit

1227
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,119
you believe God this is where you

1228
00:52:57,119 --> 00:52:59,520
believe God in your conscious in your

1229
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,480
heart this is where faith belief is

1230
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,040
belief when revelation come you

1231
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,640
understand it and you believe with your

1232
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,200
heart This one is between you and God It

1233
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,200
is dominant No man can see it That's why

1234
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,119
here you can pray in the spirit and

1235
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:16,160
nobody hears you You can pray in your

1236
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,760
office Nobody hears you It is your

1237
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,839
spirit praying to God It is belief But

1238
00:53:21,839 --> 00:53:23,480
now on the

1239
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,240
outside you express that belief on the

1240
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:29,839
outside here that is faith How do we

1241
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:33,200
express outside the fruit of the spirit

1242
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,800
The quality of your soul need to change

1243
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,119
when the holy no that's thank you we we

1244
00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:41,680
we touched on that briefly last week we

1245
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,040
said it's a change not in the substance

1246
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,200
of the soul but in the quality of the

1247
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,880
soul can you just break that down for us

1248
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,960
to okay for people to understand what

1249
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,440
that means because we we we looked at

1250
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,680
the issue of what the soul is we looked

1251
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,240
at that last week and we talking about

1252
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,960
wanting a change and the change is not

1253
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,200
in the in the substance of the soul but

1254
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,559
in the quality of the soul what does

1255
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:07,359
that mean okay The Holy Spirit uses

1256
00:54:07,359 --> 00:54:10,800
God's word here the revelation to act

1257
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,760
upon your soul to renew your mind to

1258
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:14,880
produce the virtues of a Christian

1259
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,200
character Absolutely So okay I'm afraid

1260
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,359
because this this mind is affected by

1261
00:54:19,359 --> 00:54:20,800
situation They say you have a dead

1262
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,960
disease Dead disease You're going to die

1263
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,680
The mind begin to worry When the mind

1264
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,440
begin to think negative what happened to

1265
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,800
soul Depression here

1266
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,400
Emotions We are worried because what we

1267
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,280
see here But if God give you dream and

1268
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,040
say hey you're going to be healed

1269
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,680

gently because of the fruit of the

1328
00:56:57,119 --> 00:56:59,599
spirit The fruit of the we show God by

1329
00:56:59,599 --> 00:57:02,240
faith on the outside through the fruit

1330
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:05,680
of the spirit You show that God by the

1331
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,920
way you speak by the way you talk by you

1332
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:09,520
would act that Christ is living inside

1333
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,440
of you you have holy spirit That's why I

1334
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,839
say by the fruit you will know them The

1335
00:57:13,839 --> 00:57:16,000
fruit that grow on the outside that is

1336
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:20,480

1338
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,799
behave like a Christian You talk like a

1339
00:57:24,799 --> 00:57:26,799
Christian You don't seek the way people

1340
00:57:26,799 --> 00:57:28,319
speak You don't talk the way people talk

1341
00:57:28,319 --> 00:57:31,040
We see there's a difference in this man

1342
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,000
And God we we should not only know our

1343
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,559
belief inside of us We should show our

1344
00:57:36,559 --> 00:57:38,960
faith on the outside by the way we speak

1345
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,280
because we may be the only Bible that

1346
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,599
some people ever read When we when they

1347
00:57:43,599 --> 00:57:46,480
read our life they should see Jesus in

1348
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,640
us This mean our character only our

1349
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,640
character here on the outside can

1350
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,559
testify that we are Christian godly

1351
00:57:53,559 --> 00:57:57,680
character mean salvation is once but

1352
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,799
Christ likeness is forever

1353
00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:03,760
to be like Jesus it takes discipline

1354
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,440
that's why we call disciple of the Holy

1355
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,400
Spirit we grow in knowledge we grow in

1356
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,599

00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,280
overwhelmed with fear M hey we're going

1383
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,359
to die Moses say please be quiet this

1384
00:59:17,359 --> 00:59:19,040
Egyptians you see you will see them no

1385
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,839
more why because the mind of Moses was

1386
00:59:21,839 --> 00:59:23,599
renewal because he knew God's purpose on

1387
00:59:23,599 --> 00:59:25,640
the mind deep inside his

1388
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,920
heart when you have revelation in your

00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,680

revelation would change everything in

1392
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,160
your life that's why even peace Jesus

1393
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,400
said the peace not as the world gives if

1394
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,079
everybody tremble you are peaceful and

1395
00:59:40,079 --> 00:59:42,240
calm the way this man is calm

1396
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,920
That's the peace of heart the peace of

1397
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,760
mind the peace of conscience that Jesus

1398
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,400
gave you And that is our inheritance

1399
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,319
Everybody was scattered Moses was calm

1400
00:59:50,319 --> 00:59:52,040
calculated and

1401
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,079
determined That's the peace of Holy

1402
00:59:54,079 --> 00:59:56,640
Spirit You don't act out of character

1403
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,799
They insult you They say you are a demon

1404
00:59:58,799 --> 01:00:00,960
You are this You keep quiet That's what

1405
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:04,000
Jesus was quiet like a dove John chapter

1406
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,559
8 they say "Hey you are you are this You

1407
01:00:06,559 --> 01:00:08,720
are a demon." They said to Jesus "You

1408
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,880
cast out demon by Belus." Jesus kept

1409
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,359
quiet

1410
01:00:13,359 --> 01:00:15,680
Self continuing longsuffering What is

1411
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,760
longsuffering Longsuffering people

1412
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,440
continue to insult you to mistreat you

1413
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,359
but you don't reject them Calm you

1414
01:00:21,359 --> 01:00:23,440
endure Endurance Yeah I think it's a

1415
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,440
virtue that's seldom celebrated today

1416
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,240
And it's really a virtue of the Holy

1417
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,559
Spirit You can see it is difficult to do

1418
01:00:30,559 --> 01:00:33,440
this without the power of Holy Spirit

1419
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,040
All this character of

1420
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,480
God that we call the quality of the soul

1421
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,040
by the power of the Holy Spirit That's

1422
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,880
the character of Jesus Contindness

1423
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,880
Kindness What is kindness People are

1424

kindly You come Yeah I think kindness is

1427
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,119
a word that's been very misused in

1428
01:00:57,119 --> 01:00:59,599
today's society You know we see it as

1429
01:00:59,599 --> 01:01:02,559
compassion and being led by feelings in

1430
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:04,880
a way that's very human But actually

1431
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,480
kindness it it takes faith to be truly

1432
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,400
kind That means that you want the best

1454
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,040
behave in the midst of people that's the

1455
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,880
fruit of the spirit the quality of your

strength and power you begin to love

1459
01:02:12,559 --> 01:02:14,400
unconditionally you begin to pray for

1460
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,240
your enemy Something is growing inside

1461
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:17,839
of you that you cannot control That's

1462
01:02:17,839 --> 01:02:19,920
the character of God That's the gift of

1463
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,880
righteousness Amen And it should grow

1464
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,920
every single day So every day we're

1465
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,400
getting older physically but are we

1466
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,119

in love grow in wisdom all these things

1469
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,119
That's that's what we're talking about

1470
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:39,280
The change in the quality of our soul

1471
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,400
And that is what we should aspire to as

1472
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,720
disciples of Jesus We're on this journey

1473
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,280
And that is what we should aspire to a

1474
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,720
change in the quality of our soul to be

1475
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,640
more situation will happen What do you

1476
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,079
do Run to your father Galatians chapter

1477
01:02:54,079 --> 01:02:57,359
5 23 Listen to what Paul said Listen

1478
01:02:57,359 --> 01:02:59,359
Gentleness self-control Against such

1479
01:02:59,359 --> 01:03:01,599
there is no law Continue And those who

1480
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:04,079
are Christs have crucified the flesh

1481
01:03:04,079 --> 01:03:06,319
That is it with its passions and desires

1482
01:03:06,319 --> 01:03:09,440
You have to crucify this flesh

1483
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,799
How do I crucify my flesh By dominating

1484
01:03:12,799 --> 01:03:15,599
my senses It is not what I see that

1485
01:03:15,599 --> 01:03:19,200
controls me but faith controls me That

1486
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,520
means our mind should be our servant not

1487
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,760
our master Thank you for saying that How

1488
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,839
can your mind be your servant Don't

1489
01:03:25,839 --> 01:03:28,319
allow your thought to lead you Ask the

1490
01:03:28,319 --> 01:03:30,000
Holy Ghost thought to lead you and your

1491
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,559
thoughts submit to God's will That's why

1492
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:34,240
we are pulling God to our mind Lord give

1493
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,720
me food because you're hungry Lord heal

1494
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,400
me because I'm sick Instead of bringing

1495
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,960
oursel to God's mind Exactly By asking

1496
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,720
God what is your will in the matter We

1497
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,000
try and pull God to our mind That is it

1498
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,640
So you can see that we crucify the flesh

1499
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,400
How do we do that Let's go to Romans

1500
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,760
chapter 8 verse 13 You can see it's the

1501
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,520
Holy Ghost that help us to dominate our

1502
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,359
flesh to dominate our behavior to

1503
01:03:57,359 --> 01:04:01,599
dominate anger not to react Jesus say if

1504
01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:04,079
okay your enemy wants your response If

1505
01:04:04,079 --> 01:04:06,079
you insult your enemy you are like him

1506
01:04:06,079 --> 01:04:07,920
There's no difference And believe me the

1507
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,000
hardest thing to do is not to respond

1508
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,400
That is it It it takes the Holy Spirit

1509
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,480
for you to not respond when provoked

1510
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:19,200
Okay Okay Romans 8 verse 13 13 For if

1511
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,039
you live according to the flesh you will

1512
01:04:21,039 --> 01:04:24,319
die But if by the spirit you put to

1513
01:04:24,319 --> 01:04:25,920
death the deeds of the body you will

1514
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,480
live by the spirit you put unto death

1515
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,880
the deeds of the What does it mean With

1516
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,280
the help of the Holy Spirit here with

1517
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,359
the help of his strength and revelation

1518
01:04:35,359 --> 01:04:38,559
you refuse to act out of character

1519
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:40,720
You control your body We have to control

1520
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,440
our body and our mind It's not every

1521
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,760
thought you follow Find out whether it's

1522
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,160
from God or not It's not every dream you

1523
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,079
listen to Is it from God or from your

1524
01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:51,520
mind Because this mind is like a

1525
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,280
photography It will record You have

1526
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,280
dream When your mind is too tired you

1527
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,680
can have dream from you Don't be carried

1528
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,079
away by what people say Inquire from God

1529
01:05:00,079 --> 01:05:03,440
in your heart That's why this mind has

1530
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,760
to be the servant of your conscience

1531
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,160
Your conscious must control your soul

1532
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,400
and not the not your mind control your

1533
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,920
faith That's what it means to take

1534
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,200
captive every thought

1535
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,280
Yes The battle we face is with our

1536
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,440
thinking The Bible say we bring every

1537
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,559
thought into captivity of Christ How

1538
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:27,240
submission to the will of God in in in a

1539
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,039
nutshell pray at all times That's why

1540
01:05:31,039 --> 01:05:33,359
the Bible say if you are in the spirit

1541
01:05:33,359 --> 01:05:35,480
walk in the spirit Continue

mind is renewed when we understand the

1562
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,359
will of God in the matter M that's when

1563
01:06:29,359 --> 01:06:31,920

1567
01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:41,599
Moses understood that God took them by

1568
01:06:41,599 --> 01:06:44,400
the Red Sea to glorify his his name by

1569
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,000
making the miracle by opening the Red

1570
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,319
Sea he saw it he was come but the people

1571
01:06:48,319 --> 01:06:50,720
did not know and they panicked that's

1572
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,000
why when the Holy Spirit come we will

1573
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,079
give us revelation what is revelation a

1574
01:06:55,079 --> 01:06:57,760

you're not alone How do you know that

1581
01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:14,640
God is with you You listen the inner

1582
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,599
voice of the Holy Spirit My God The day

1583
01:07:17,599 --> 01:07:19,000
you are in the

1584
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,200
fire and you hear the small voice

1585
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:22,359
speaking to

1586
01:07:22,359 --> 01:07:25,680
you Oh my Lord Last year we had a

1587
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,760
terrible situation Everybody knows we

1588
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,400
pray While I pray all of a sudden a

1589
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,799
voice came to my heart I said God say

1590
01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:34,880
he's in control He will preserve us for

1591
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,240
the temptation coming through all the

1592
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,319
world I know he was God I said glory be

1593
01:07:38,319 --> 01:07:41,280
to God He has spoken

1594
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,119
You need to listen to your conscience

1595
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:44,640
That's the problem Don't listen to these

1596
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,039
thoughts

1597
01:07:47,039 --> 01:07:48,880
Let this mind become the ser your

1598
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,039
servant You are the spirit Don't don't

1599
01:07:51,039 --> 01:07:54,160
be carried away by this body

1600
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,280
Your mind must be trained must be

1601
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,839
educated to listen to the word of God in

1602
01:07:59,839 --> 01:08:01,760
your heart That's why you should examine

1603
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,280
everything in the light of God's word We

1604
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,280
need revelation in our heart We need

1605
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:06,559
spiritual understanding of the Holy

1606
01:08:06,559 --> 01:08:08,960
Spirit When Paul was having the thorn in

1607
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,839
his flesh it was painful He went to God

1608
01:08:11,839 --> 01:08:14,440
Lord help me help me help me Jesus kept

1609
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:18,319
quiet three times and God say my grace

1610
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:21,199
is sufficient for you At that moment

1611
01:08:21,199 --> 01:08:23,520
Paul understood that God was in control

1612
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,279
He allowed this to happen for a purpose

1613
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:28,159
and he stopped worrying His mind changed

1614
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:31,040
He has peace He was calm That's why a

1615
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,920
man of faith can be happy in the midst

1616
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,560
of poverty because he knew this poverty

1617
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,960
will not last long because his mind is

1618
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,359
renewed So if you're watching today and

1619
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:43,279
you realize like some people have sent

1620
01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:45,920
us a comment that now I know that it's

1621
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,040
in my mind that the devil's attacking me

1622
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,120
Remember once you identify the problem

1623
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,279
it's half half done Because if you're

1624
01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:55,040
willing to get out of that problem right

1625
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,719
now get ready because we want your mind

1626
01:08:58,719 --> 01:09:00,239
to be renewed I don't have time for

1627
01:09:00,239 --> 01:09:01,520
certain but I have to tell you his

1628
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,839
tactics Many of the negative thoughts

1629
01:09:03,839 --> 01:09:06,799
you have come from him He want to block

1630
01:09:06,799 --> 01:09:09,159
your faith to doubt

1631
01:09:09,159 --> 01:09:12,159
Sin is engineered by negative thoughts

1632
01:09:12,159 --> 01:09:15,440
that Satan put into your mind your brain

1633
01:09:15,440 --> 01:09:17,279
to doubt the goodness of God in your

1634
01:09:17,279 --> 01:09:20,239
heart If make you things see things in a

1635
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:22,239
bad light that is Satan to provoke

1636
01:09:22,239 --> 01:09:24,560
negative thoughts in situation or people

1637
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,159
speak badly to you and you begin to

1638
01:09:26,159 --> 01:09:28,319
think about it Sometime if somebody is

1639
01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:30,319
is in a situation the person will just

1640
01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:31,319
look at the

1641
01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:34,279
wall and say "Hey the person jump he's

1642
01:09:34,279 --> 01:09:37,279
gone His mind is gone." Many times you

1643
01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:38,359
say it to

1644
01:09:38,359 --> 01:09:40,400
me sometime I look at you I say where

1645
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:41,960
did you go I said where did you

1646
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,319
travel you can be with your with your

1647
01:09:44,319 --> 01:09:46,960
wife and all of a sudden you look at him

01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,359
he's absent you are talking said what

1649
01:09:49,359 --> 01:09:52,000
did I say she not able to say what you

1650
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,400
said because the spirit was not here you

1651
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,320
can be here your spirit can be in the

1652
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,400
far end of the world you can see how the

1653
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,640
mind is powerful

1654
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,960
when the mind is overwhelmed you don't

1655
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,960
know even where you are you can hear

1656
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,679
nothing your focus is gone and Satan

1657
01:10:07,679 --> 01:10:10,480
took off your mind Don't allow this to

1658
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,600
happen Bring your mind back Capture your

1659
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,080
thought That's why Jesus rebuked Peter

1660

Get behind me Satan You think like man

1661
01:10:18,239 --> 01:10:21,360
not like God Jesus knew the cross was a

1662
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:22,960
revelation of God's will to save human

1663
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:24,480
being That was the purpose of God in the

1664
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:26,800
matter He went to the cross and obeyed

1665
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,040
and submit to the will of God and be

1666
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,040
crucified Emanuel said "I'm totally

1667
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:32,880
healed by your teaching I was in pain

1668
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,120
Now I'm in peace." You know this is the

1669
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:36,640
importance of the word of God Someone

manifesting You know it's the word of

1673
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,040
God that heals It's the word of God that

1674
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,840
delivers It's the word of God that saves

1675
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,679
So when the word comes from the Holy

1676
01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:51,280
Spirit and goes straight into your heart

1677
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,320
that's when changes take place Thank you

01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,960
So please learn to rebuke Satan by the

1679
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,920
word of faith Now let me give you one

1680
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:00,920
one one

1681
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,600
one clue I will give you I practice in

1682
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,199
my life Sometimes you facing a situation

1683
01:11:07,199 --> 01:11:10,480
that's not easy The mind is so overtaken

1684
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:12,560
by negative thoughts but you cannot read

1685
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,960
the Bible You cannot hear anything What

1686
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:19,320
do you do Take your Bible read it

1687
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,920
loudly not silently

1688
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,760
Loudly Why do you read loudly If you

1689
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,239
read it loudly you capture your ear The

1690
01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:31,920
two powerful senses we have is this one

1691
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,400
sight and hearing This is the one we use

1692
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,560
99% of our relationship is sight and

1693
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,120
hearing If I don't hear Ruth I have no

1694
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,600
answer But I see her These one are the

1695
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:45,120
most powerful one that direct our life

1696
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,760
What we see what we hear So when you

1697
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,320
read the Bible you capture your eyes But

1698
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,120
this thing when you speak Jesus is Lord

1699
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,960
you hear it here You capture your

1700
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,360
thinking So read it loud When you read

1701
01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:59,760
aloud you remember what you read By

1702
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,520
doing it loud you you are training

1703
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,760
yourself to speak right to think right

1704
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,840
and to act right Before you realize it

1705
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,800
your mind is refreshed Read the Bible

1706
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,960
aloud when you're alone and listen to

1707
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,880
what you're reading That will help you

1708
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,719
to first begin to discipline your mouth

1709
01:12:14,719 --> 01:12:16,159
and your mind and your thought And

1710
01:12:16,159 --> 01:12:17,679
before you realize you remember what you

1711
01:12:17,679 --> 01:12:18,440
are

1712
01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:20,880
saying There are many songs we repeat

1713
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:22,640
right Because we hear the song oh Lord

1714
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,560
we sing this afterwards The song become

1715
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:25,840
spontaneous in your heart when you sleep

1716
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,640
at night That's the same That's why God

1717
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,600
says Joshua read the aloud They know the

1718
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,320
secret of speaking the Bible aloud

1719
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,239
Prophet Yeshua gave you a lesson to me

1720
01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:39,440

the great majority of time God is

1729
01:12:58,719 --> 01:13:00,719
speaking to me through the Bible When I

1730
01:13:00,719 --> 01:13:03,440

1731
01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:05,760

1732
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,199

1737
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,960
mind of your ears of your heart If the

1738
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,960

1739
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,960

mind is renewed and refreshed Amen So

1741
01:13:25,199 --> 01:13:28,000
make sure you write that key down The

1742
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,239
most powerful senses are our eyes and

1743
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,320
our ears This is what actually rules our

1744
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,880
life So make sure when we read the Bible

1745
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:36,880
we don't just read it silently We also

1746
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:38,800
read it aloud Because when we read it

1747
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,360
aloud we're training our ears to listen

1748
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,760
to the word of God not just our eyes to

1749
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,840
see the word of God And in that way when

1750
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,320
we listen to the word of God audibly

1751
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,159
it'll sink into our spirits and our

1752
01:13:50,159 --> 01:13:52,080
heart and would change the way we live

1753
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,320
our life and our mind is renewed So make

1754
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:55,679
sure you do that When you read aloud

1755
01:13:55,679 --> 01:13:57,120
you're training yourself to think right

1756
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:58,480
because your mind is refreshed Your ear

1757
01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:00,239
is refreshed You capture your thought

1758
01:14:00,239 --> 01:14:02,320
You capture your word Speak only what

1759
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:05,440
God says There is a mystery of speaking

1760
01:14:05,440 --> 01:14:08,400
the word of God to yourself loudly Amen

1761
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,640

And remember we can't understand the

1772
01:14:34,719 --> 01:14:36,480
word of God or obey it without the help

1773
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:38,560
of the Holy Spirit So make sure you

1774
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,159
continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help

1775
01:14:40,159 --> 01:14:42,320
you to take more of you and give you

1776
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:46,080
more of him Jesus said if your eye

1777
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,920
causes you to fall sin to sin Yeah Plug

1778
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,080
it off Yeah If the hand causes to fall

1779
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:53,920
cut it off What does it mean If you're

1780
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,159
looking something encourage your faith

1781
01:14:56,159 --> 01:14:57,920
negative thought stop watching it That's

1782
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,320
what it means If you're doing something

1783
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,120
there's no good for you Stop it

1784
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,120
If you if you're weak you got some when

1785
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:06,640
your faith is weak That's what happened

1786
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:08,880
to them in the wilderness because their

1787
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,040
faith was weak They were learning to get

1788
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,120
faith That's why they they were

1789
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,440
murmuring every day But if you are

1790
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:18,320
strong in the faith you will not murmur

1791
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,480
You will stay put get used to the

1792
01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:22,400
situation and walk victoriously because

the spirit of God but we can't always

say it in in c certain social media

1803
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,800
platforms but in the app it's an

1804
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,199
opportunity for us to really put say

1805
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:50,800

day the prophet was saying that a father

1835
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,760
Jesus has 12 disciples but there was one

1836
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,679
who always put his head in the heart of

1837
01:17:03,679 --> 01:17:06,400
Jesus apostle John John wanted to learn

1838
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,159
from Jesus more than anybody else and

1839
01:17:08,159 --> 01:17:10,560
that's why John's gospel is so full of

1840
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,320
revelation as you can see God give him
