We don't know what tomorrow brings but

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.560
God has instructed us to build up um a

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.599
library of content on the UOG app It's a

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.920
safe place for you to watch the UG

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:34.480
content Not just the UG content that's

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:36.560
there for you freely on YouTube but also

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.680
exclusive things for you So please don't

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.519
miss this opportunity to become a

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:43.680
subscriber to the UG app And you might

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.720
ask well why do I have um to pay a small

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:48.720
amount I think it's $5 per month or

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:50.319
something Well that's to maintain the

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.080
app Yes because the UG has actually has

00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:55.920
a contract with the company to produce

00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:58.239
the app to maintain the app and that

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:01.040
comes at a cost So therefore just asking

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:04.959
for that $5 a month is to assist the

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:07.200
company It's to maintain the app so we

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:10.480
can bring you this content freely Yes

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.640
freely That is why it's a wonderful

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
this is a way that you can do it to

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:19.120
become a member of the household of

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.720
faith So we can't wait you to we can't

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:26.239
receiving your testimonies Do you have a

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:29.280
word to say about the app Well we said

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.200
at the beginning when God good morning

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.720
everybody you're welcome in Jesus name

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:37.200
Look our heart our purpose the reason

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:40.080
why we are here is for our spiritual

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.000
growth

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.120
We are so grateful to God for the life

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.440
of discipline we have learned from

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:51.280
prophet Joshua while we under him

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.040
disciple of Christ Sometime we say

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:55.599
disciple of prophet Joshua but he in his

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.640
heart we are disciple of Christ why he

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:01.159
want us to embrace God's kind of

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.879
lifestyle And I realized that

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.439
today what a grace to have lived with

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.879
him for 19 to 20 years receiving

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.760
discipline of the spirit

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:16.199
I'm telling you my brothers and

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.280
sisters we look at the world today a lot

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:22.479
of experience we had today that we

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:24.479
realize that the common problem we all

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:26.919
face all over the world particularly

00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:30.000
believers is nothing else but the

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.000
character of Christ how to handle

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.600
situation how to settle your relation

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.199
with God on the solid foundation of his

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.759
word by trusting his word how to come to

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.160
spiritual maturity because he was a

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.120
matured manm M no matter the persecution

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.120
where people said they never derail him

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.240
from his focus in God when you look at

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.080
the life of the apostles of old it

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.360
wasn't easy for them they face acts

00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.520
8:9 terrible persecutions but they

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:02.199
stayed in faith

00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.919
unwavering Jesus you know next week we

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:07.800
are celebrating Easter

00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.960
right we should not forget that Easter

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:13.680
was a moment of suffering uffering where

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.039
Jesus willingly chose the way of

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:19.520
suffering of the cross not for himself

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:21.400
but for you and

00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:25.039
I It wasn't man's way It was God's way

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:26.639
That's the way God's wisdom brought

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.440
salvation on the earth to be redeemed

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:32.160
from our past so we can walk in newness

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.759
of life in a new covenant of God's grace

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:36.919
The question

00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:40.320
is why today when you look all around

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:42.960
the world you see many faith are in

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:44.800
crisis

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.680
You see people the faith is no longer

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.160
strong Some say ah I'm losing my faith

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.639
My faith is challenged and lot of

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.240
complain we have about situations lot of

00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.400
discouragement We can see that people

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:00.560
the fire is no longer there People are

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.680
lukewarm They they don't pray But this

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.440
is time to be stronger than ever before

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:07.600
What's the cause of that That's the

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.960
purpose of this program today And the

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:12.400
purpose of the app as well And the

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:15.720
purpose of the app is to walk on a daily

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.240
basis to know how to tackle every

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.319
situation of your life because life is

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:21.400
all about

00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:24.479
relationship Relationship with God but

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:25.880
relationship in the

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:29.520
community It starts husband and wife

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:32.880
your marriage your parents your friends

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:34.720
your work It's all about relationship

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.479
It's all about communication The

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:39.919
question how do we relate with people

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:41.759
How do we relate in our business place

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.960
in our working place reflecting Christ

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:46.800
character in us in a victorious way

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.440
That's the purpose of this

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:51.160
app That's to grow

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.520
spiritually Remember what we said at the

00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:56.639
first program that God create you and I

00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.680
we all know it now Spirit

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.280
Soul and body You all know the body We

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:07.520
we become imbrio in our mother's womb

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:10.160
But see how big we are today Function of

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.120
time We never do anything We grow as the

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.280
tree is growing By the function of time

00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:17.080
as time grows

00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:20.639
on in our soul in our intellect We grow

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.360
by what we learn We learn at school

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.599
primary school secondary school Some go

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:27.520
to university You learn in the community

00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:29.240
Life is a learning

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.039
experience But what about our

00:07:32.039 --> 00:07:35.520
spirit How do we grow in the spirit We

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:37.840
grow physically We grow intellectually

00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:39.520
by what we learn But how do we grow

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:42.400
physically The only way we can grow

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:45.599
spiritually is by obedience to God

00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:48.759
Obedience to God's word That's the only

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.599
way Now that's why we are here today

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:54.759
This app on this program is to help

00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.520
you to practice the presence of God in

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:00.080
your daily basis in a practical way

00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:02.000
because you know as well it's also so

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.919
useful to have our own platform because

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:05.759
when we have our own platform it means

00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.240
that we're not restricted in any way um

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.440
in what God directs us to say to you So

00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:14.160
we can have um one-on-one interactions

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.479
with you and and as God put in our heart

00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:18.720
we can we can interact with you and that

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.400
is what God has put in our heart to to

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:22.400
disciple people to build people with

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:23.919
everything that we've learned during our

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:26.879
journey of uh disciplehip like Rasin

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.039
said we're disciples of Jesus under the

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:30.960
ministry of prophet TB Joshua while he

00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:34.240
was alive on this earth and that's why

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.680
we we want to encourage you to really

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:39.039
become a member of the household of

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.039
faith because it's an opportunity for

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.039
you to go deeper in your walk walk with

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.040
God And if you believe this ministry is

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:47.120
sent to you we see so many people saying

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.040
"Oh the Bible teaching is so interesting

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:52.080
It's so good." You know this is what you

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.320
need Because what we want to talk about

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.040
today is actually how can we be renewed

00:08:57.040 --> 00:08:58.360
in our

00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.160
mind Many of us we live our life as if

00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:04.800
we're not living a a victorious life

00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:07.120
What do I mean We we we we say we're

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.720
Christians We say we believe in Jesus

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.440
but we seem to be so consumed with the

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.640
natural circumstances around us

00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:17.360
that things like fear worry anxiety

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.839
control us on a daily basis That is

00:09:19.839 --> 00:09:21.680
because we have to renew our mind each

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:24.399
day I want to take us to Romans Romans

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.279
12:2 And do not be conformed to this

00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.000
world but be transformed by the renewing

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.760
of your mind that you may prove what is

00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:37.040
that good and acceptable and perfect

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:39.839
will of God So why are we talking about

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:41.120
this Because all of us want to know

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.640
God's will for our life All of us want

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:45.040
to know how do I know what God wants me

00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:47.200
to do on a daily basis How can the Holy

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.600
Spirit speak to me And the Holy Spirit

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.279
can only speak to you when your mind is

00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.480
renewed because the Holy Spirit never

00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.680
bypasses the mind The Holy Spirit speaks

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:00.000
to our mind That's right Speaks to our

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.440
heart We learned about the spirit soul

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.120
and body last week and I'm sure we'll go

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.800
into that again today But we can't

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:09.839
ignore the mind The mind must be renewed

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:12.959
in order to be renewed like our spirit

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:15.600
is renewed When we read the word of God

00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.200
our spirit is refreshed Our mind is

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.440
renewed Remember when we accept Jesus as

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.279
our Lord and Savior our spirit is born

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.120
again but we need to make sure our mind

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.920
is renewed daily And that is why we're

00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:27.360
here at the University of God That is

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.839
why we're here to seek the spirit of God

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:31.120
We're all students I want to add

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.720
something to what she says because we

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.800
are getting to the heart of the matter

00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:37.440
And I just took my Bible in the book of

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.040
Exodus chapter 16 Yesterday you know we

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:43.120
are in a time of prayer and meditation

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.959
preparing for the Easter to come It's a

00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:47.040
time of sober reflection for every

00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:49.320
Christian My mind was

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.800
struck by the behavior of the people of

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:54.279
Israel in the

00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.959
wilderness They have seen the mightiness

00:10:56.959 --> 00:11:00.320
of God in the land of Egypt when they

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.720
saw how

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.600
God did signs and wonders miraculous

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.880
signs and wonders to set them free They

00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:13.279
have seen the Red Sea opened by God They

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.160
have seen the pillar of cloud by day

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:18.240
which was representing the presence of

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.200
the angel and they saw the pillar of

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.240
fire by night the living presence of God

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.200
they saw it

00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.040
physically But after they left the land

00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:31.079
of bondage of

00:11:31.079 --> 00:11:33.360
servitude God took them in the journey

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.720
in the wilderness for a

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.959
purpose What was the purpose We realize

00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:40.800
that it does not take long for God to

00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:44.480
set us free from trouble one second

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.760
But it take years a lifetime for God to

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:50.880
change our behavior our character and to

00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:53.200
change our mind

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.600
Let me read Exodus chapter 16 verse two

00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.279
The whole congregation of the children

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.079
of Israel complained against Moses and

00:12:02.079 --> 00:12:04.880
Aaron in the wilderness

00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:06.959
Three The children of Israel said to

00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:10.399
them "Oh that we had died by the hand of

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:11.959
the Lord in the land of

00:12:11.959 --> 00:12:15.760
Egypt when we sat by the pots of meat

00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:18.800
and when we ate bread to the fool for

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:20.480
you have brought us out into the

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.160
wilderness to kill this assembly with

00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:27.000
hunger." That's a complain I asked

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.160
myself why they complain We realize that

00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:32.399
the Bible says what happened to them at

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.600
that time is a lesson to all of us here

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:36.760
There is a

00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:39.600
parallel between the way God rescued

00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.839
them in Egypt God took them to the

00:12:42.839 --> 00:12:46.399
wilderness and the way we experience God

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.959
when we are

00:12:47.959 --> 00:12:51.920
saved in the Easter night In one night

00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:54.560
God stroke all the firstborn of Egypt to

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:57.040
the animals and Pharaoh was shocked and

00:12:57.040 --> 00:12:58.880
they sent them away immediately They

00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:02.560
released him and they were free from 430

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:05.200
years of bondage and they and they were

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.519
free They're supposed to be happy They

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.279
saw the goodness of God the greatness of

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.240
God in their lives And what happened in

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.680
the wilderness God put them to the test

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:18.079
God allowed them to go through the

00:13:18.079 --> 00:13:20.320
wilderness for a purpose When you read

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.480
your Bible the Bible says God could have

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:23.920
make them pass by the way of the

00:13:23.920 --> 00:13:26.480
Philistine which is shorter But God say

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.040
no because they will see war If they see

00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:30.800
war they will be afraid and they will

00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:33.519
run back to Egypt Does it mean God is

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.440
not great enough to take them

00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.920
there That means

00:13:38.920 --> 00:13:42.959
simply once we are saved once Jesus

00:13:42.959 --> 00:13:45.560
comes into our heart we have the Holy

00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:49.519
Spirit Our spirit is free indeed We have

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.680
a new conscience We have a new heart set

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:55.519
free and much more We have the presence

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.320
of the Holy Spirit abiding in our hearts

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.120
Ephesians 3:13 says "Christ dwells in

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.480
our heart through faith." So God is with

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.320
me So now the question

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.600
is we are made right with God in our

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.040
spirit That's part that is new We are a

00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:16.399
new creation a new heart a new spirit

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.040
But this

00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:20.920
body this soul this old man is still

00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:24.800
there M so there is a conflict between

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:27.199
this old man and a conflict between the

00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:28.920
one that is new inside of

00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:32.959
me What does it mean This means my the

00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:35.240
way I'm I was educated my family

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.880
background my culture my tradition and

00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:41.920
the lessons I of life my education all

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:45.040
these frame my intellectually So I grow

00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:47.720
physically but I grow intellectually

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.160
mentally by the lesson for my culture

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:53.519
from universe that form me me talking my

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.040
decision my action in the natural but

00:14:57.040 --> 00:14:59.920
that does not fit the way of God because

00:14:59.920 --> 00:15:03.120
God's ways are not our ways his thoughts

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.680
are not our thoughts Isaiah 55 from

00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:06.680
verse 1

00:15:06.680 --> 00:15:11.079
to8 so now we have Christ in

00:15:11.079 --> 00:15:15.680
us what about our relationship in our

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:19.360
family in your marriage in your friends

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.839
in your community in your work Where is

00:15:22.839 --> 00:15:26.959
Jesus The problem we have is that we

00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:30.880
lack consciousness of God's presence in

00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:31.720
those

00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.720
areas Salvation is not just basically a

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.600
spiritual rebirth It has to affect my

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.360
soul my mind my body and my character

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.120
Every area of our life every areas of my

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.600
life M now when you see in the book of

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.279
act chapter 2 the first disciples of

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.800
Jesus after the outpouring of the Holy

00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:53.680
Spirit they went they sold their

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:55.440
businesses stop everything their houses

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.360
and were living in community why they

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.480
were serving God with all their

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:05.399
lives spirit soul and body

00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:10.399
why because Christianity is a lifestyle

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.320
they serve God not just in spirit by

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.360
going to

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.519
But in their daily living all their

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.920
lives were serving God That's why they

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:21.480
call them disciples of Christ mean they

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.440
embrace Christ lifestyle to think like

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.320
Jesus to speak like Jesus to act like

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.120
Jesus and to manifest Christ likeness in

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.800
their community in their relationship in

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:34.959
a physical form right into the world

00:16:34.959 --> 00:16:36.720
where we are And it's impossible to do

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.320
that without the help of the Holy Spirit

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.880
Impossible Why it is impossible Because

00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:46.720
man's way are not God's way The way I I

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.440
where I come from okay I'm from Africa

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.920
you're from UK right We have a lot of

00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:53.600
differences It is natural It is normal

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.240
to have differences in life But what

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.199
makes us one is Christ philosophy What

00:16:59.199 --> 00:17:02.480
makes us one is faith I'm talking to

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.360
people all all over the world We have

00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:07.120
different upbringing but what makes us

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:09.280
born today is Jesus

00:17:09.280 --> 00:17:10.959
That reminds me of what Prophet TB

00:17:10.959 --> 00:17:13.360
Joshua said when we were disciples He

00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:14.959
said "You're not here for any culture

00:17:14.959 --> 00:17:17.439
African culture Nigerian culture We're

00:17:17.439 --> 00:17:20.079
all here for Christ culture." And that

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.079
is what we're here for to learn how to

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.799
be like Jesus And it was such an amazing

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.799
opportunity to be with people from so

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.319
many different backgrounds and so many

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.320
different cultures and upbringings but

00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:33.840
at the same time our purpose was to

00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:37.120
embrace Christ culture And I think the

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:39.440
temptation many many people face today

00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.919
is to reduce Christianity to a to a code

00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:45.120
of ethics Oh to be a good person or to

00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:47.679
have some moral value in certain ways

00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:51.120
But actually it's to be like Jesus And

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:53.440
we can't remove the Holy Spirit from

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.760
that because Jesus promised us the Holy

00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:57.120
Spirit would be the comforter to be with

00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:59.520
us forever can't obey the written word

00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:02.039
or do what Jesus commands us to

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.360
do fleshly humanly without the help of

00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:08.080
the Holy Spirit We cannot be a disciple

00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:10.160
of Jesus without the help of the Holy

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.000
Spirit This coming now why God gave us

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.880
his spirit We have to repeat and go back

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:17.880
to the

00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.320
foundation We are too conditioned to

00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:22.880
limit the Holy Ghost only to power

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.360
healing power prophetic power the gift

00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:27.200
of the spirit

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.720
But the major theme the major purpose

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.840
God Almighty gave you and I his spirit

00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:37.600
is to make us sons and daughters of God

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:39.520
And the purpose of the Holy Spirit in

00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:43.120
our heart is to develop righteousness

00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:45.919
godly character

00:18:45.919 --> 00:18:47.880
The fruit of the

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.039
spirit

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.480
means I don't need to say I'm a

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:54.240
Christian

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.360
Let the goodness of God be evident be

00:18:57.360 --> 00:19:00.480
seen in the way I speak in the way I

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.360
talk in the way I relate with people

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:05.840
People should see something different in

00:19:05.840 --> 00:19:09.120
you even in your working place People

00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:10.320
should see your kindness the way you

00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:12.240
approach things the wisdom of God That's

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.880
what God want in your life So how is it

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.440
now We are so conditioned to think that

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.160
God holy spirit is not only is only for

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.960
power for for healing power No it's for

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.440
godly character He's our helper That's

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.480
why Jesus gave us his spirit

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.080
Christianity

00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:34.400
is a lifestyle

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:38.799
Faith is a lifestyle of trusting in God

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.240
Faith cannot take a day

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.160
off A break in faith is a break in

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.679
Christ

00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:48.000
God want to be with me He want to be

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.440
with you every single day But sometime

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.400
we hold his hands ourselves

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:56.160
When God led them into the wilderness

00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.760
God wanted to show them how faithful he

00:19:58.760 --> 00:20:01.120
is No man would take you in the

00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:03.080
wilderness But God is

00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:05.919
sufficient He knew he was able to care

00:20:05.919 --> 00:20:08.480
for them to protect them to give them

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.120
mana to make water to come from a rock

00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:14.559
Exodus 17 If God is able to be with you

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:16.559
in the wilderness how much more when you

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.960
are in the town

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:22.880
what God wanted to do is to take them to

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.400
a process to discipline

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.400
them so they can their mind their way of

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.120
thinking will change Their way of

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:34.480
talking will change What is thinking and

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.440
and words That is faith

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.440
We believe and we speak the word of

00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.559
faith all the time But faith does not

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.840
just happen It is built How can faith

00:20:45.840 --> 00:20:48.400
grow We need to grow spiritually We grow

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.799
spiritually when we hear and obey God

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.360
That's what God wanted That's why in

00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:57.039
Deuteronomy 8 verse 1 to2 1 1-4 God say

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:59.520
I make them pass by the wilderness and I

00:20:59.520 --> 00:21:02.400
cause you to suffer hunger and thirst to

00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.240
teach you that man shall not live by

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.000
bread alone but every word that comes

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.400
from the mouth of the Lord And that is

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.039
where the issue is number one for them

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.200
And for us today Exodus chapter 15 verse

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.400
26 hear what God

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:20.799
says If you diligently heed the voice of

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:24.559
the Lord your God and do what is right

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.200
oh my Lord that is the key And do what

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.640
is right that means act on the word

00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.200
This is the problem we have today Yeah

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.640
If you diligently heed the voice of the

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.919
Lord and do what is right in his

00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:44.720
sight This is where the issue is in our

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.080
spirit in our conscious We hear the

00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:51.360
inner voice of God telling us do this do

00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:55.600
that inspiration come But when the mind

00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:58.080
is not renewed no it's me it's not God

00:21:58.080 --> 00:22:00.159
We refuse to act on it We refuse to act

00:22:00.159 --> 00:22:03.520
on it Suggestion is coming intuition is

00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:05.200
coming from the Holy Spirit who dwells

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.600
in our

00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:08.559
heart because they were having the

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:10.799
pillar of cloud We have more than the

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:12.559
pillar of cloud of the Israelite We have

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.360
holy spirit in our heart

00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:18.400
The spirit of God will tell you wake up

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.799
and pray in the night This body

00:22:23.159 --> 00:22:25.679
know the Holy Ghost will shake you into

00:22:25.679 --> 00:22:27.760
positive action but we resist because

00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:30.720
our mind is not renewed We think it is

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.799
us It's our own mind It's our own body

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:35.000
That's why we resist

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:38.240
No If God's power can set them free in

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.000
one

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:42.320
night God it took 40 years in the

00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.919
wilderness for God to change their mind

00:22:43.919 --> 00:22:46.320
and character

00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:48.559
and many of them refuse to believe and

00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.120
fall into the

00:22:50.120 --> 00:22:52.880
wilderness We have the spirit of Jesus

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.880
in our

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.120
heart But why it is why do we find

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:59.520
people complaining today Because our

00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:01.039
mind is not renewed Because our mind is

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.760
not renewed We continue like Jesus

00:23:03.760 --> 00:23:06.720
rebuked Peter to think like man think to

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.640
speak in the old way in the old nature

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.400
The Bible say when you are saved never

00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.000
you think speak or act on the level of

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.600
the old life Write that down The minute

00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:20.320
you are saved that you receive salvation

00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:23.919
from Jesus Never think or talk or act on

00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:25.600
the level of your old life That is

00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:26.799
that's where the problem is Change your

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.120
thoughts and change your words Change

00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:32.960
your thought and change your words

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.880
Now if I speak in the old nature myself

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.600
is talking Ah you I will deal with you I

00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:41.360
would do this It's the first talking is

00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:45.200
flesh is talking That's why prophet gave

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.760
us a prayer Holy spirit take more of me

00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:51.400
Give me more of

00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.120
you when I'm too much of myself

00:23:55.120 --> 00:23:57.679
I the one talking It's the soul myself

00:23:57.679 --> 00:24:00.559
my mind my will my decision my emotion

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.960
is talking

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:05.520
And we air away from God's way And the

00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:07.360
flesh will lead us and we begin to act

00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:11.039
out of character The question is why our

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.720
mind is so disturbed by the things we

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.159
see we hear And that is the issue When

00:24:18.159 --> 00:24:20.840
God led them in the wilderness they were

00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:24.559
thirsty God did it on purpose

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.400
Instead of praying God give us water

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.039
they

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:30.559
complained Instead of praying to God you

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:32.039
complain to

00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.240
man God is faithful He knows your

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:39.600
need So in the wilderness anytime they

00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:42.080
face situations on the outside they

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:44.159
begin to murmur They want you to stone

00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:46.000
mothers to death because of natural

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.240
circumstances of life

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.960
Today when we are born again we have a

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.400
new spirit We have a new soul We have

00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.480
the Holy Spirit dwelling in us But now

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:02.880
why it is difficult to change my mind

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.799
Because my willingness is required by

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.720
God Thank you That's the difficulty God

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.720
is

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:13.840
finding God demands your faith Uncomp

00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:15.679
uncompromising demand for faith That's

00:25:15.679 --> 00:25:18.400
how it the uncompromising demand for

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.799
faith What they say God wants your

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:22.880
willingness

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.320
That's the greatest role you can play If

00:25:26.320 --> 00:25:28.240
you are willing to get out of your

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:30.640
problem if you're willing to change your

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.480
life if you're willing to really meet

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.200
Jesus then the half the job is half done

00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.360
because Jesus is always willing to meet

00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:41.640
you to change you to get you out of your

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.600
problem But you have to be willing first

00:25:44.600 --> 00:25:47.120
Remember the people that Jesus met where

00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:49.520
he asked them "Do you want to get well

00:25:49.520 --> 00:25:52.640
Do you want to be free?" Because Jesus

00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.080
had the power to be able to set them

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:56.400
free immediately but he wanted to hear

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.000
their willingness not just from their

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.400
mouth but from their heart Remember it's

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.960
a heart that Jesus hears Is your heart

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.320
willing this morning Is your heart

00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:07.279
willing today to get out of your old

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.000
life and start living how Jesus wants

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.679
you to live Because if your heart is

00:26:11.679 --> 00:26:14.880
willing then the job is half done Yes

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.039
50% of the battle 50% of the victory We

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.720
need to learn the ways of God

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.720
Knowing God is not only to see miracles

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:32.640
signs and wonders but to learn his ways

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:34.840
The book of Psalm

00:26:34.840 --> 00:26:40.000
103:7 says "God showed his deeds to the

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.400
children of Israel

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.080
but he showed his ways to

00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:49.120
Moses." And that was the big difference

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:53.000
Moses knew the way of the Lord but the

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:55.520
people did not know the way of God

00:26:55.520 --> 00:26:58.799
despite all the miracle they saw

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.840
When situation happens if you follow the

00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:04.880
narrow way of Jesus you will not act on

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.880
the situation you will inquire from God

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.520
to know Lord what is your mind What is

00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:15.360
God's mind on this matter

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:20.360
Isaiah Ruth can you read Isaiah 55 verse

00:27:20.360 --> 00:27:24.039
8 We need to learn the way of the Holy

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:27.039
Spirit God has given us the Holy Spirit

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.440
We need to develop our relationship with

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.840
him We need to cooperate with him

00:27:31.840 --> 00:27:34.120
because he wants our

00:27:34.120 --> 00:27:38.200
willingness Holy Spirit works with us in

00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.720
cooperation

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.520
Means my will must submit to God's will

00:27:43.520 --> 00:27:45.279
before the power of the Holy Ghost is

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.400
manifested I

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:51.679
repeat my will your will must submit to

00:27:51.679 --> 00:27:54.240
God's will before the power of God can

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.600
be manifested to change your

00:27:55.600 --> 00:27:58.960
circumstances Let's read Mhm For my

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.039
thoughts are not your thoughts nor are

00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:03.919
your ways my ways says the Lord For as

00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:05.919
the heavens are higher than the earth so

00:28:05.919 --> 00:28:08.720
my ways higher than your ways are my

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.799
thoughts than your thoughts God say his

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.960
thoughts are higher than our thoughts M

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:16.320
when I have thoughts of discouragement

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:18.480
the end has come God say the end has not

00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.679
come It's just the beginning You say "Oh

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:24.399
it's it's terrible We can't do this We

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:25.840
can't because of your thoughts." God say

00:28:25.840 --> 00:28:29.120
"Yes you can do it." That's why he said

00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:31.880
to everybody in Jeremiah

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.480
29:11 "The thoughts that I have for you

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.880
is to prosper you not to harm you to

00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:38.799
give you a hope and a future."

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:42.080
Absolutely We need to know the divine

00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:45.360
person of the Holy Spirit leading us

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:47.679
When we say disciple we are disciples of

00:28:47.679 --> 00:28:49.919
the Holy Spirit

00:28:49.919 --> 00:28:53.039
He is the shepherd that leads us today

00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.120
Jesus said "My sheep shall hear my

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:59.200
voice." John chapter 10 27 Jesus does in

00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:00.919
my heart through the person of the Holy

00:29:00.919 --> 00:29:04.480
Spirit We should be able to hear the

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.000
voice of the Holy Spirit in our heart

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:12.080
We it is time to learn to distinguish

00:29:12.080 --> 00:29:15.640
how he speaks to us Whether in thoughts

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.200
intimation suggestion or words or dreams

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.760
We need to know How do we know It is

00:29:21.760 --> 00:29:24.080
possible to know The only way to know is

00:29:24.080 --> 00:29:26.200
to yield your heart to

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.600
him What do I mean by that That's why

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:31.600
meditation

00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:34.159
When trouble come situation come after

00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:36.480
you pray go to the secret place of your

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.679
heart and begin to meditate

00:29:39.679 --> 00:29:43.200
ask the Holy Spirit to help you Ask God

00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:45.679
to open the eyes of your faith Begin to

00:29:45.679 --> 00:29:47.440
look for him Seek him in your heart

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.039
diligently

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.159
and then the way he answers you he will

00:29:52.159 --> 00:29:54.640
give you a thought can come to your

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.159
conscious to your mind if your conscious

00:29:56.159 --> 00:29:59.720
is alert Okay Now let me come back to

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.840
that graphic a bit So to to make it more

00:30:03.840 --> 00:30:07.720
God say he made me with a

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.919
spirit This is soul This is

00:30:10.919 --> 00:30:14.240
you and this is your physical body Three

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.760
parts God gave us right We have seen

00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:24.080
this one grow in time This one grow when

00:30:24.520 --> 00:30:28.640
you when you study this one But this one

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:29.640
can only

00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.960
grow when you hear the Holy Spirit here

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.840
in your heart in the spirit The question

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:37.880
we have today is this section of our

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.760
lives Let me move down

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:49.880
gently Good

00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:54.200
Yes Now we are here

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:57.480
Okay This is your

00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:01.200
body This one Go

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:05.120
ahead This is your natural human body We

00:31:05.120 --> 00:31:07.760
all have And this is the one that is

00:31:07.760 --> 00:31:09.760
relationship with the world Who Your

00:31:09.760 --> 00:31:13.600
father your mom your friends your work

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:15.520
and everything you do in relationship

00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:17.200
here in the world This our

00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:20.240
responsibility The question we have we

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:23.600
tend to forget that faith God we are

00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:24.640
conditioned to think God is not

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:27.080
interested by this one and that's a big

00:31:27.080 --> 00:31:30.960
mistake The Bible says this is our

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.520
relationship with God Is this our

00:31:33.520 --> 00:31:36.080
relationship with man This is

00:31:36.080 --> 00:31:39.240
responsibility towards God in the

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:43.200
spirit and this is in the

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.640
natural in the world this side And this

00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:49.120
now we have a separation between the two

00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:51.200
This is this side is your spiritual side

00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:52.880
Your spirit and your soul This part is

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:53.640
your

00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.039
body Now the question is here is the

00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.720
trouble we face We always separate in

00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:03.519
our mind in our in this thinking You

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:04.720
think that God is not concerned about

00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.279
this It's a big

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:09.679
mistake God is concerned about this This

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:11.159
section

00:32:11.159 --> 00:32:15.039
here is your belief in God You believe

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:16.799
in God This is your conscience This is

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:18.799
the spirit of God Holy Spirit speak to

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.840
you here and give you inspiration give

00:32:21.840 --> 00:32:24.320
you revelation So when you are praying

00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:26.039
because you have situation

00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:28.720
here when you pray in your heart without

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.519
making any noise something will prompt

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:33.200
your mind here your conscience This is

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.960
your

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.559
conscience This is where the will of God

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.600
is This is where the mind of God is This

00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:42.080
is where solution comes But if you look

00:32:42.080 --> 00:32:44.960
at the natural we forget this

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.320
So what did God did to help them in the

00:32:47.320 --> 00:32:50.720
wilderness God allow the physical

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.760
presence of the cloud to give them focus

00:32:53.760 --> 00:32:56.320
in God When they look at the cloud ah

00:32:56.320 --> 00:32:59.120
God is here Oh not afraid In the night

00:32:59.120 --> 00:33:00.960
they saw the light God is here in our

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.519
midst So they were looking visibly at

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.360
the presence of God So they would not be

00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:08.880
afraid They focus with that But today as

00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:10.960
Christian we can't do that anymore We

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.519
have the Holy Spirit here in our heart

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:14.960
We have our conscious with the

00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.960
communication point contact point We

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:18.480
have to learn to listen to the inner

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.120
voice here in our

00:33:20.120 --> 00:33:24.399
heart Now here this section now is where

00:33:24.399 --> 00:33:25.960
we have

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:28.440
problem

00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.000
physically our soul This is our mind

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.600
This is our decision This is our

00:33:34.600 --> 00:33:37.799
will Our emotions Everything is

00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.600
here emotions And this one is influenced

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:43.360
by this one

00:33:43.360 --> 00:33:45.120
When they were in the wilderness they

00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:45.880
were

00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.399
thirsty and their mind begin to think

00:33:48.399 --> 00:33:53.640
wrongly Anytime your mind here think

00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:57.279
negatively you are out of faith Anytime

00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.120
your mind think negatively based on

00:33:59.120 --> 00:34:01.519
circumstances you get out of faith Why

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:03.120
Because you begin to doubt the goodness

00:34:03.120 --> 00:34:05.519
of God here Whatever God says here this

00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.399
one contradict it Anytime something good

00:34:08.399 --> 00:34:10.320
come from your conscious revelation

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.000
something contrary come to your mind to

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.520
say no that's why Satan did if God say

00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:18.159
oh go to America a voice say no don't go

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:22.639
it's you go say do this a voice say no

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.599
is it from God contradiction so there's

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:28.480
a battle between revelation here and

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.720
sense knowledge here which one do you

00:34:31.720 --> 00:34:35.040
follow we have this is our trouble this

00:34:35.040 --> 00:34:37.040
is our greatest enemy

00:34:37.040 --> 00:34:40.560
The mind the mind and the thinking

00:34:40.560 --> 00:34:43.639
My god we exercise our will through our

00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:46.240
mind This mind is the one that controls

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:47.639
our body through the

00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:51.200

How to handle this meeting How to handle

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:25.359
your decision Because you are the

00:38:25.359 --> 00:38:27.800
manager how to handle human being You

00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.320
pray When you pray you involve God and

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:31.760
you'll be surprised to see what God will

00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:33.680
do

00:38:33.680 --> 00:38:36.160
You can see you can involve God in every

00:38:36.160 --> 00:38:39.040
section of your life That's what renew

00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:41.280
your mind You have an effort to pay Your

00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:43.359
willingness is there You have to

00:38:43.359 --> 00:38:45.040
practice the presence of God in a

00:38:45.040 --> 00:38:47.280
practical way deep inside of you in your

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:49.760
heart the consciousness of God the

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:52.440
presence of God Anywhere you

00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:56.160
go if you do that your mind will never

00:38:56.160 --> 00:38:58.880
be disconnected from the things of God

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:02.000
If my heart by meditating and my mind

00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.480
are soaked with the word of God I will

00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.320
speak the word of word of life here I

00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.280
will speak right and act right because I

00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.520
think right That's why the first thought

00:39:11.520 --> 00:39:13.440
in the morning and the last one before

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.079
you sleep is so important because we're

00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:17.680
going on a journey and we're coming from

00:39:17.680 --> 00:39:20.480
a journey Um when we when we sleep we're

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.800
going on a journey So that is why what

00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.119
you do before sleeping is so important

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.520
What you think in the same way the

00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:29.839
thought when you wake up is very

00:39:29.839 --> 00:39:31.599
important That's why like Rasine said

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:33.280
you know you're going to be connected to

00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:35.280
the presence of God if you make sure

00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.520
those first thoughts and those last

00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:40.000
thoughts are all about Jesus Your

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.720
thoughts are the seed of your life

00:39:44.720 --> 00:39:49.200
Your thoughts are the seed of your life

00:39:49.200 --> 00:39:50.040
Your

00:39:50.040 --> 00:39:52.880
life will always go to the level of your

00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.960
thoughts

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:55.880
Your

00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:58.839
belief depends on the level of your

00:39:58.839 --> 00:40:02.320
thoughts If you meditate on God's word

00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:04.400
it develops in your heart and belief

00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:06.880
increases deep inside of you If you

00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:08.480
speak the word of faith your faith

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.119
increases That's why the Bible says the

00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.200
if you think negatively you are bound to

00:40:13.200 --> 00:40:15.680
talk negatively Out of the abundance of

00:40:15.680 --> 00:40:16.960
your heart of your thinking the mouth

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:20.400
will speak So what you have to do now

00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.520
the first battle we have if you must do

00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:26.119
anything think

00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:29.119
first before you act on what you see

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:31.599
before you act on what you hear pray in

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:34.160
your heart for God's intervention Go to

00:40:34.160 --> 00:40:36.000
your father Involve God in prayer in

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:38.640
your heart When you have God ability

00:40:38.640 --> 00:40:41.040
will come from God Jesus will walk you

00:40:41.040 --> 00:40:43.760
through all the circumstances of life So

00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.720
now how do I discipline myself to think

00:40:46.720 --> 00:40:48.720
right How can I think positively Ruth

00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:50.640
I'm asking you

00:40:50.640 --> 00:40:53.440
How can I think right The only way you

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:57.200
can train yourself to think right is by

00:40:57.200 --> 00:40:58.640
reading and meditating on the word of

00:40:58.640 --> 00:41:00.560
God Because it's like we've talked about

00:41:00.560 --> 00:41:02.960
this before When you're drinking water

00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:04.720
the water has to go down When you're

00:41:04.720 --> 00:41:06.880
drinking water it can't come up again It

00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:08.319
it's going down in your throat and it

00:41:08.319 --> 00:41:09.760
will go through your body where where it

00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:12.960
needs to go But you have to drink that

00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:15.280
water first In the same way when you

00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.319
read the word of God for salvation's

00:41:17.319 --> 00:41:20.400
sake and you meditate on that word then

00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:23.599
the word will affect your words and

00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:26.560
affect your thoughts because it it it

00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:28.000
has nowhere else to go It's definitely

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.720
going to go to your heart It will It's

00:41:30.720 --> 00:41:33.119
like it it's it's going to go to your

00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:36.800
heart So disciples mean you have to

00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:40.400
educate your mind with the word of God

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:42.560
You have to discipline your mind by

00:41:42.560 --> 00:41:44.800
meditating on the word of God You have

00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.079
to train yourself Train your mind Okay

00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:50.160
The Bible says they were serving God

00:41:50.160 --> 00:41:52.720
with their life How do you believe With

00:41:52.720 --> 00:41:56.800
our heart this we believe God right But

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:58.119
with our

00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:01.000
body we give ourself to God as a living

00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.079
sacrifice That's what she was reading

00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:05.640
This body need to be

00:42:05.640 --> 00:42:08.520
crucified This man and body need to be

00:42:08.520 --> 00:42:11.280
disciplined to submit to hear the

00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:15.119
revelation of God How do we do that When

00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:17.280
you read the Bible when you meditate on

00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:19.680
the Bible you speak God's word over your

00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:22.240
life When you meditate the word dominate

00:42:22.240 --> 00:42:25.040
first here your conscience and then he

00:42:25.040 --> 00:42:28.000
will affect your mind You will begin to

00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.319
see things differently You begin to see

00:42:30.319 --> 00:42:32.480
from God's point of view If God give you

00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:35.280
a message and this message is a way out

00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:37.200
and you don't hear it you cannot act on

00:42:37.200 --> 00:42:40.560
it But Holy Spirit come if you submit to

00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:43.680
God and that is the issue How do we

00:42:43.680 --> 00:42:47.280
submit to God But go to your prayer room

00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:49.680
Start by your knees Open your mouth to

00:42:49.680 --> 00:42:52.079
God Begin to pray That's the greatest

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:54.720
way to submit to God That's why you pray

00:42:54.720 --> 00:42:56.960
It's not something complicated And we

00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:59.440
pray believing that God is absolutely

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:00.880
listening to us Prayer is not just

00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.520
saying words into the air Yeah As you

00:43:03.520 --> 00:43:05.200
run to man for help If you believe God

00:43:05.200 --> 00:43:08.000
is real begin to pray Begin to pray and

00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.560
meditate This is stuff Lord help me

00:43:10.560 --> 00:43:12.319
Meditate in your heart Before you

00:43:12.319 --> 00:43:14.640
realize it a scripture will come to your

00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:16.760
heart When you begin to speak that

00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.359
scripture Holy Ghost will begin to give

00:43:19.359 --> 00:43:21.920
strength to your spirit to your soul and

00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:23.359
to your body And that is the faith

00:43:23.359 --> 00:43:26.400
you're talking about So this is belief

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.720
When revelation come revelation come

00:43:28.720 --> 00:43:30.160
tell you this is the dream You get out

00:43:30.160 --> 00:43:32.520
of the situation He will give you

00:43:32.520 --> 00:43:34.880
understanding and give you conviction

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:36.240
You believe deep in your heart the

00:43:36.240 --> 00:43:38.000
solution is coming God has spoken to me

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:40.640
And now what happen Your mind will

00:43:40.640 --> 00:43:42.720
change because you understand the

00:43:42.720 --> 00:43:45.280
purpose of God in the matter You will

00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:46.960
see that God is alive He's talking to

00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:49.200
you It's only when we understand what

00:43:49.200 --> 00:43:51.839
God says here This mind is changed is

00:43:51.839 --> 00:43:54.800
renewed when we understand the will of

00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:56.520
God in our

00:43:56.520 --> 00:43:58.680
life and get the

00:43:58.680 --> 00:44:01.200
money Jesus took decision to go to the

00:44:01.200 --> 00:44:03.040
cross

00:44:03.040 --> 00:44:06.160
and Jesus said "Father if it is possible

00:44:06.160 --> 00:44:10.000
let this cup pass by This is our minds

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:15.880
will not my will Let your will be done

00:44:16.240 --> 00:44:18.480
This will exercise our own will our own

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:19.920
decision with our mind based on the

00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:23.599
information we get But our prayer not my

00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:26.319
will Let the will of God be done here

00:44:26.319 --> 00:44:28.400
Holy Spirit help me This is why we have

00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:30.760
the Holy Spirit here This is the Holy

00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.560
Spirit When we face trial and difficult

00:44:33.560 --> 00:44:36.400
situation God is there He never changes

00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.720
He's there forever with you He will

00:44:38.720 --> 00:44:40.240
never move one second He will never

00:44:40.240 --> 00:44:42.240
abound one second The problem we have we

00:44:42.240 --> 00:44:44.119
are the one that abound on

00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:47.839
this So when God say in numbers chapter

00:44:47.839 --> 00:44:50.000
4 enter the promised land and conquer

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.160
and they saw giant what did they say

00:44:54.160 --> 00:44:56.160
We cannot No we cannot These are more

00:44:56.160 --> 00:44:57.520
powerful They will destroy They're

00:44:57.520 --> 00:44:58.960
bigger than them They begin to see the

00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.040
giant bigger than God And they were

00:45:01.040 --> 00:45:03.599
afraid because of what this mind and the

00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:06.720
senses what they saw here They forgot

00:45:06.720 --> 00:45:09.960
here that God was

00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.680
here Jose Joshua and Kalev go and read

00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:15.760
numbers chapter 14 God said because

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.680
Joshua have a different heart a

00:45:17.680 --> 00:45:19.920
different mind he never forgot me He

00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.480
will enter the promised land But every

00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.160
person who allows circumstance to

00:45:24.160 --> 00:45:25.920
disturb you to speak negatively against

00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:28.800
God they never enter the promised land

00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:30.800
Someone's asking a question I don't know

00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:33.040
how to balance between my job and

00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:36.079
spending more time with God Okay good

address Okay Lydia I thank you for this

00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:44.640
question This is where the problem is

00:45:44.640 --> 00:45:48.160
Sometime we only believe that spiritual

00:45:48.160 --> 00:45:49.920
and natural are separated And that's the

00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.319
mistake we made Mhm We are on in the

00:45:52.319 --> 00:45:54.640
spirit when we go to church Immediately

00:45:54.640 --> 00:45:57.240
leave the church we are off We go to the

00:45:57.240 --> 00:46:00.240
natural and we and we begin to use our

00:46:00.240 --> 00:46:02.800
own human effort There is no separation

00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:05.200
my dear sister That's the question What

00:46:05.200 --> 00:46:08.960
you call balance Balance mean work as if

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:11.119
everything depends on you And while you

00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:12.880
are working pray in your heart as if

00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.280
everything depends on God

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.760
You sing I sing as if everything depend

00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:19.920
on me But in my heart I pray as if

00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:22.240
everything depends on God I include God

00:46:22.240 --> 00:46:25.280
in my work I include God in everything I

00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:27.760
do I ask God give me strength to work I

00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.640
become a worker with a difference Yeah

00:46:30.640 --> 00:46:32.319
that's one thing I wanted to share You

00:46:32.319 --> 00:46:35.440
know from my experience um in all those

00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:37.920
years of training with Prophet TB Joshua

00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.680
a majority of that time a lot of that

00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:42.359
time was spent doing different type of

00:46:42.359 --> 00:46:46.800
work what we worked very hard and that

00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:50.000
work it was for a purpose What I mean is

00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:51.839
oh my god what I mean is it's not as if

00:46:51.839 --> 00:46:54.520
we spend 24/7 you know kind

00:46:54.520 --> 00:46:57.920
of in in deep prayer and Bible reading

00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.560
and you know that work was to train our

00:47:00.560 --> 00:47:02.960
character and also there's something he

00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.599
told us you know to arrest our heart

00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:09.160
because when you're working for God's

00:47:09.160 --> 00:47:11.839
sake everything you do like Rasian said

00:47:11.839 --> 00:47:14.400
you're doing it for God's sake Whatever

00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:15.839
you do you do it well Whatever is not

00:47:15.839 --> 00:47:17.839
done well is not done at all So whatever

00:47:17.839 --> 00:47:20.880
you do you do it for God's sake Your

00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.880
work you're doing it for God's sake The

00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.160
things in the house you're doing it for

00:47:24.160 --> 00:47:25.599
God's sake The things with your children

00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:27.119
you're doing it for God's sake

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:28.560
Everything you do you do it for God's

00:47:28.560 --> 00:47:31.520
sake to please God And in the midst of

00:47:31.520 --> 00:47:34.319
those daily challenges that happens when

00:47:34.319 --> 00:47:37.520
we work it's a way for the character of

00:47:37.520 --> 00:47:40.240
Jesus to be to be seen in us It's when

00:47:40.240 --> 00:47:42.079
your hatred is provoked that you can

00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:43.440
respond in love It's when your

00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:44.880
impatience is provoked that your

00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:46.880
patience can can grow that your

00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:49.680
endurance can grow So I just wanted to

00:47:49.680 --> 00:47:51.599
encourage you because you know an idle

00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:53.839
mind is a devil's workshop You know what

00:47:53.839 --> 00:47:56.160
do I mean by that You know if if if if

00:47:56.160 --> 00:47:58.400
you say you just want to spend your time

00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.480
doing uh no work and you just want to

00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.319
pray all the time you know we it's in

00:48:04.319 --> 00:48:06.960
the midst of our challenges in life that

00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:09.280
most some of that comes with work that

00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:12.160
we can actually glorify God in that that

00:48:12.160 --> 00:48:14.480
we can reflect the image of Jesus Christ

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:18.280
in us in community in in uh

00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:21.359
confrontation in challenges in life

00:48:21.359 --> 00:48:23.280
struggles and ups and downs That's when

00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:25.119
we know we do it with Jesus We don't do

00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:26.640
it alone I want to start with the you

00:48:26.640 --> 00:48:28.800
say my job when before you apply for job

00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:31.119
did you pray for God to guide you to

00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.000
give you a good job to favor you If you

00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:35.680
pray anytime I tell you the believer

00:48:35.680 --> 00:48:37.760
when you apply for job don't just apply

00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:39.680
send the application to me I will stand

00:48:39.680 --> 00:48:42.640
in prayer for you So we want to do the

00:48:42.640 --> 00:48:44.079
will of God We want to go to the right

00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:46.800
place in the right moment We involve God

00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:49.359
on every section of our lives Now you

00:48:49.359 --> 00:48:50.559
are talking about balance between your

00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:52.720
work and prayer Let me read the book of

00:48:52.720 --> 00:48:56.079
Deuteronomy chapter 8 for you from verse

00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:57.640
17 God

00:48:57.640 --> 00:49:00.960
said "Do when you say in your heart my

00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:03.599
power and my might of my hand have

00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:06.559
gained me this wealth."

00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:09.680
And you shall remember the Lord your God

00:49:09.680 --> 00:49:12.800
May in your work remember God who give

00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:15.119
you brain who give you heartbeat who

00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:16.960
give you health to do the work you do

00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:18.960
It's God that strengthen you If you're

00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:21.280
intelligent who give you intelligence It

00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:24.400
is God If you're smart who give you that

00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.319
It is God When you do it without

00:49:26.319 --> 00:49:28.160
complaining with joy you're doing it for

00:49:28.160 --> 00:49:30.400
God No You shall remember the Lord your

00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:33.359
God for he he is he who gives you power

00:49:33.359 --> 00:49:35.280
to get wealth

00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:36.720
He's the one that give you intelligence

00:49:36.720 --> 00:49:39.200
and knowledge that he may establish his

00:49:39.200 --> 00:49:41.200
covenant with you This is what we need

00:49:41.200 --> 00:49:43.520
to understand There's anointing of God

00:49:43.520 --> 00:49:45.520
for your work There's anointing for

00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:47.040
spiritual things Anointing for your

00:49:47.040 --> 00:49:48.640
marriage Anointing is supernatural

00:49:48.640 --> 00:49:51.760
ability to excel to be a worker with a

00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.160
difference to succeed whether you are a

00:49:55.160 --> 00:49:57.599
lawyer lawyer there's no difference

00:49:57.599 --> 00:49:59.839
between God and your natural things God

00:49:59.839 --> 00:50:01.520
want to be involved in every section of

00:50:01.520 --> 00:50:03.440
your life that is why the balance you're

00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:05.040
talking about there's no separation

00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:08.720
between the two as I work with all my

00:50:08.720 --> 00:50:10.520
strength with all my knowledge

00:50:10.520 --> 00:50:13.680
intellectual I pray for God's guidance

00:50:13.680 --> 00:50:16.480
because sometimes you walk but tomorrow

00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:18.559
who knows happen tomorrow Ask God to

00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:20.480
give you wisdom

00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:23.040
You need wisdom in your work Ask God to

00:50:23.040 --> 00:50:24.960
give you expression to know how to

00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:27.920
address issues at work How to be if

00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:29.760
you're a manager you know how to talk to

00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:31.920
people you know have idea you have

00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.040
insight It's

00:50:34.040 --> 00:50:38.160
God That is why God want you to exercise

00:50:38.160 --> 00:50:40.319
that faith here in the outside in your

00:50:40.319 --> 00:50:42.480
work as well because this where the

00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.280
fruit of the spirit be revealed

00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:48.000
This section between you and God here is

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:50.480
belief But this section is faith Faith

00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:54.160
is expressed on the outside By faith you

00:50:54.160 --> 00:50:56.280
show God in your working

00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:59.280
place By faith you show God in your

00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.839
marriage By faith you show God in

00:51:01.839 --> 00:51:03.599
everything you do You show the character

00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:05.920
of God the fruit of the spirit Can you

00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:08.240
break that down You mentioned that from

00:51:08.240 --> 00:51:11.359
here it's belief and this side is is

00:51:11.359 --> 00:51:12.640
faith That's that's interesting because

00:51:12.640 --> 00:51:14.160
it reminds me of the message where you

00:51:14.160 --> 00:51:15.280
talked about the difference between

00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:17.599
belief and faith Belief being the root

00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:19.680
Okay So can you just break that down for

00:51:19.680 --> 00:51:23.040
people Okay Let's go to Isaiah 37:31 If

00:51:23.040 --> 00:51:24.040
I could

00:51:24.040 --> 00:51:27.920
remember go to Isaiah

00:51:30.359 --> 00:51:32.720
37:31 It's important to understand what

00:51:32.720 --> 00:51:34.079
we are saying The difference between

00:51:34.079 --> 00:51:37.960
your spiritual side and your physical

00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:40.880
side Mhm Your spiritual side is your

00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:42.559
relationship with God That's what we

00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.359
call belief God will give you a

00:51:45.359 --> 00:51:47.760
revelation in your heart in your spirit

00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:49.680
Right

00:51:49.680 --> 00:51:53.119
Yes Isaiah 37:31 Yes What does it say

00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:55.200
And the remnant who have escaped of the

00:51:55.200 --> 00:51:57.359
house of Judah shall again take root

00:51:57.359 --> 00:52:00.000
downward and bear fruit upward Say it

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:03.520
again Take root downward And what Bear

00:52:03.520 --> 00:52:06.200
fruit upward What does this

00:52:06.200 --> 00:52:09.240
mean You bear fruit

00:52:09.240 --> 00:52:12.000
downward You what You bear what You grow

00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:15.440
downward Yeah You take root downward and

00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.359
bear fruit upward Does it mean the root

00:52:17.359 --> 00:52:19.599
of a tree are down inside the ground

00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:21.839
Deep inside

00:52:21.839 --> 00:52:24.960
But the fruit is that upward mean upward

00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.319
outside You see the fruit This is a tree

00:52:28.319 --> 00:52:30.720
When you see a tree when the root are

00:52:30.720 --> 00:52:34.079
big the the tree stands If the root does

00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:37.920
not grow the tree can fall Right M so

00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.880
when faith grows downward and upward

00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:43.160
mean faith grow inside and

00:52:43.160 --> 00:52:46.160
outside in your heart inside is here in

00:52:46.160 --> 00:52:47.839
your heart in your spirit deep inside of

00:52:47.839 --> 00:52:50.880
you is belief is belief mean the Bible

00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:52.640
say the word is in your heart and in

00:52:52.640 --> 00:52:55.920
your mouth in your heart in your spirit

00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:57.119
you believe God this is where you

00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:59.520
believe God in your conscious in your

00:52:59.520 --> 00:53:02.480
heart this is where faith belief is

00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:05.040
belief when revelation come you

00:53:05.040 --> 00:53:06.640
understand it and you believe with your

00:53:06.640 --> 00:53:09.200
heart This one is between you and God It

00:53:09.200 --> 00:53:11.200
is dominant No man can see it That's why

00:53:11.200 --> 00:53:13.119
here you can pray in the spirit and

00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:16.160
nobody hears you You can pray in your

00:53:16.160 --> 00:53:17.760
office Nobody hears you It is your

00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:21.839
spirit praying to God It is belief But

00:53:21.839 --> 00:53:23.480
now on the

00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:26.240
outside you express that belief on the

00:53:26.240 --> 00:53:29.839
outside here that is faith How do we

00:53:29.839 --> 00:53:33.200
express outside the fruit of the spirit

00:53:33.200 --> 00:53:36.800
The quality of your soul need to change

00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:39.119
when the holy no that's thank you we we

00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:41.680
we touched on that briefly last week we

00:53:41.680 --> 00:53:45.040
said it's a change not in the substance

00:53:45.040 --> 00:53:47.200
of the soul but in the quality of the

00:53:47.200 --> 00:53:48.880
soul can you just break that down for us

00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:50.960
to okay for people to understand what

00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.440
that means because we we we looked at

00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:55.680
the issue of what the soul is we looked

00:53:55.680 --> 00:53:58.240
at that last week and we talking about

00:53:58.240 --> 00:54:00.960
wanting a change and the change is not

00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:03.200
in the in the substance of the soul but

00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:04.559
in the quality of the soul what does

00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:07.359
that mean okay The Holy Spirit uses

00:54:07.359 --> 00:54:10.800
God's word here the revelation to act

00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:13.760
upon your soul to renew your mind to

00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:14.880
produce the virtues of a Christian

00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:17.200
character Absolutely So okay I'm afraid

00:54:17.200 --> 00:54:19.359
because this this mind is affected by

00:54:19.359 --> 00:54:20.800
situation They say you have a dead

00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:22.960
disease Dead disease You're going to die

00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.680
The mind begin to worry When the mind

gentleness goodness self-control love

00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.680
faith humility Absolutely People can

00:56:53.680 --> 00:56:55.359
provoke you insult you you're speaking

00:56:55.359 --> 00:56:57.119
gently because of the fruit of the

00:56:57.119 --> 00:56:59.599
spirit The fruit of the we show God by

00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:02.240
faith on the outside through the fruit

00:57:02.240 --> 00:57:05.680
of the spirit You show that God by the

00:57:05.680 --> 00:57:07.920
way you speak by the way you talk by you

00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:09.520
would act that Christ is living inside

00:57:09.520 --> 00:57:11.440
of you you have holy spirit That's why I

00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:13.839
say by the fruit you will know them The

00:57:13.839 --> 00:57:16.000
fruit that grow on the outside that is

00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:20.480
visible by faith mean you speak you act

00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:22.880
and this matches Christ likeness You

00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:24.799
behave like a Christian You talk like a

00:57:24.799 --> 00:57:26.799
Christian You don't seek the way people

00:57:26.799 --> 00:57:28.319
speak You don't talk the way people talk

00:57:28.319 --> 00:57:31.040
We see there's a difference in this man

00:57:31.040 --> 00:57:34.000
And God we we should not only know our

00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:36.559
belief inside of us We should show our

00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:38.960
faith on the outside by the way we speak

00:57:38.960 --> 00:57:41.280
because we may be the only Bible that

00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:43.599
some people ever read When we when they

00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:46.480
read our life they should see Jesus in

00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:48.640
us This mean our character only our

00:57:48.640 --> 00:57:50.640
character here on the outside can

00:57:50.640 --> 00:57:53.559
testify that we are Christian godly

00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:57.680
character mean salvation is once but

00:57:57.680 --> 00:58:00.799
Christ likeness is forever

00:58:00.799 --> 00:58:03.760
to be like Jesus it takes discipline

00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:05.440
that's why we call disciple of the Holy

00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:08.400
Spirit we grow in knowledge we grow in

00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:11.599
love every single day of our lives when

00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:13.119
you look at the life of Paul in the

00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:15.280
beginning at the end the spirit the

00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.040
fruit of the spirit begin to Bro can you

00:58:17.040 --> 00:58:20.480
go to Galatians Galatians chapter 5

00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.440
verse

00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:26.319
23 Our mind plays a great role in

00:58:26.319 --> 00:58:30.240
everything we do This mind the unrenewed

00:58:30.240 --> 00:58:33.280
mind can block the revelation of God But

00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:35.520
the fruit of the spirit is love joy

00:58:35.520 --> 00:58:38.319

take one by one Joy love that No joy You

00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:49.520
can have joy whereas there's nothing to

00:58:49.520 --> 00:58:51.920
have joy about

00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:53.599
Joy is a fruit of faith People are

00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:55.760
crying That's the end That's the end God

00:58:55.760 --> 00:58:57.920
say "My son I'm talking to you Nothing

00:58:57.920 --> 00:58:59.920
will happen to you I'm in control Hey

00:58:59.920 --> 00:59:01.680
thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus." Nobody

00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:02.960
know why you say thank you God has

00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:04.240
spoken to your heart Yeah It's not

00:59:04.240 --> 00:59:06.319
created happiness It's real joy At the

00:59:06.319 --> 00:59:09.440
Red Sea people look at Pharaoh Pharaoh

00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:11.280
and the soldiers and they were

00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:13.280
overwhelmed with fear M hey we're going

00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:17.359
to die Moses say please be quiet this

00:59:17.359 --> 00:59:19.040
Egyptians you see you will see them no

00:59:19.040 --> 00:59:21.839
more why because the mind of Moses was

00:59:21.839 --> 00:59:23.599
renewal because he knew God's purpose on

00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:25.640
the mind deep inside his

00:59:25.640 --> 00:59:27.920
heart when you have revelation in your

00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:29.680
heart by the Holy Spirit Holy Ghost g

00:59:29.680 --> 00:59:31.760
revelation here in your mind that

00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:33.280
revelation would change everything in

00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:36.160
your life that's why even peace Jesus

00:59:36.160 --> 00:59:38.400
said the peace not as the world gives if

00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:40.079
everybody tremble you are peaceful and

00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:42.240
calm the way this man is calm

00:59:42.240 --> 00:59:43.920
That's the peace of heart the peace of

00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:45.760
mind the peace of conscience that Jesus

00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:48.400
gave you And that is our inheritance

00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:50.319
Everybody was scattered Moses was calm

00:59:50.319 --> 00:59:52.040
calculated and

00:59:52.040 --> 00:59:54.079
determined That's the peace of Holy

00:59:54.079 --> 00:59:56.640
Spirit You don't act out of character

00:59:56.640 --> 00:59:58.799
They insult you They say you are a demon

00:59:58.799 --> 01:00:00.960
You are this You keep quiet That's what

01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:04.000
Jesus was quiet like a dove John chapter

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:06.559
8 they say "Hey you are you are this You

01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:08.720
are a demon." They said to Jesus "You

01:00:08.720 --> 01:00:10.880
cast out demon by Belus." Jesus kept

01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:13.359
quiet

01:00:13.359 --> 01:00:15.680
Self continuing longsuffering What is

01:00:15.680 --> 01:00:17.760
longsuffering Longsuffering people

01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:19.440
continue to insult you to mistreat you

01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:21.359
but you don't reject them Calm you

01:00:21.359 --> 01:00:23.440
endure Endurance Yeah I think it's a

01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:25.440
virtue that's seldom celebrated today

01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:28.240
And it's really a virtue of the Holy

01:00:28.240 --> 01:00:30.559
Spirit You can see it is difficult to do

01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:33.440
this without the power of Holy Spirit

01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:36.040
All this character of

01:00:36.040 --> 01:00:38.480
God that we call the quality of the soul

01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:41.040
by the power of the Holy Spirit That's

01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:44.880
the character of Jesus Contindness

01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:46.880
Kindness What is kindness People are

01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:50.000

scam You just come You treat the person

kindly You come Yeah I think kindness is

01:00:54.720 --> 01:00:57.119
a word that's been very misused in

01:00:57.119 --> 01:00:59.599
today's society You know we see it as

01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:02.559
compassion and being led by feelings in

01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:04.880
a way that's very human But actually

01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:08.480
kindness it it takes faith to be truly

01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:10.400
kind That means that you want the best

01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:13.280

01:02:48.720 --> 01:02:50.640
more situation will happen What do you

01:02:50.640 --> 01:02:54.079
do Run to your father Galatians chapter

01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:57.359
5 23 Listen to what Paul said Listen

01:02:57.359 --> 01:02:59.359
Gentleness self-control Against such

01:02:59.359 --> 01:03:01.599
there is no law Continue And those who

01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:04.079
are Christs have crucified the flesh

01:03:04.079 --> 01:03:06.319
That is it with its passions and desires

01:03:06.319 --> 01:03:09.440
You have to crucify this flesh

01:03:09.440 --> 01:03:12.799
How do I crucify my flesh By dominating

01:03:12.799 --> 01:03:15.599
my senses It is not what I see that

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:19.200
controls me but faith controls me That

01:03:19.200 --> 01:03:21.520
means our mind should be our servant not

01:03:21.520 --> 01:03:23.760
our master Thank you for saying that How

01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:25.839
can your mind be your servant Don't

01:03:25.839 --> 01:03:28.319
allow your thought to lead you Ask the

01:03:28.319 --> 01:03:30.000
Holy Ghost thought to lead you and your

01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:32.559
thoughts submit to God's will That's why

01:03:32.559 --> 01:03:34.240
we are pulling God to our mind Lord give

01:03:34.240 --> 01:03:36.720
me food because you're hungry Lord heal

01:03:36.720 --> 01:03:38.400
me because I'm sick Instead of bringing

01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:40.960
oursel to God's mind Exactly By asking

01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:42.720
God what is your will in the matter We

01:03:42.720 --> 01:03:46.000
try and pull God to our mind That is it

01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:48.640
So you can see that we crucify the flesh

01:03:48.640 --> 01:03:50.400
How do we do that Let's go to Romans

01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:53.760
chapter 8 verse 13 You can see it's the

01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:55.520
Holy Ghost that help us to dominate our

01:03:55.520 --> 01:03:57.359
flesh to dominate our behavior to

01:03:57.359 --> 01:04:01.599
dominate anger not to react Jesus say if

01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:04.079
okay your enemy wants your response If

01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:06.079
you insult your enemy you are like him

01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:07.920
There's no difference And believe me the

01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:10.000
hardest thing to do is not to respond

01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:12.400
That is it It it takes the Holy Spirit

01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:14.480
for you to not respond when provoked

01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:19.200
Okay Okay Romans 8 verse 13 13 For if

01:04:19.200 --> 01:04:21.039
you live according to the flesh you will

01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:24.319
die But if by the spirit you put to

01:04:24.319 --> 01:04:25.920
death the deeds of the body you will

01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:28.480
live by the spirit you put unto death

01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:30.880
the deeds of the What does it mean With

01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:33.280
the help of the Holy Spirit here with

01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.359
the help of his strength and revelation

01:04:35.359 --> 01:04:38.559
you refuse to act out of character

01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:40.720
You control your body We have to control

01:04:40.720 --> 01:04:43.440
our body and our mind It's not every

01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:45.760
thought you follow Find out whether it's

01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:48.160
from God or not It's not every dream you

01:04:48.160 --> 01:04:50.079
listen to Is it from God or from your

01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:51.520
mind Because this mind is like a

01:04:51.520 --> 01:04:53.280
photography It will record You have

01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:55.280
dream When your mind is too tired you

01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:57.680
can have dream from you Don't be carried

01:04:57.680 --> 01:05:00.079
away by what people say Inquire from God

01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.440
in your heart That's why this mind has

01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:05.760
to be the servant of your conscience

01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:08.160
Your conscious must control your soul

01:05:08.160 --> 01:05:10.400
and not the not your mind control your

01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:11.920
faith That's what it means to take

01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:14.200
captive every thought

01:05:14.200 --> 01:05:17.280
Yes The battle we face is with our

01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:19.440
thinking The Bible say we bring every

01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:22.559
thought into captivity of Christ How

01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:27.240
submission to the will of God in in in a

01:05:27.240 --> 01:05:31.039
nutshell pray at all times That's why

01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:33.359
the Bible say if you are in the spirit

01:05:33.359 --> 01:05:35.480
walk in the spirit Continue

01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:37.920
reading If you go to Galatians back

01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:40.000
sorry I'm taking you back over By the

01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:41.920
Holy Ghost with the strength he will

help me to behave well by the fruit of

01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:46.160
the spirit Love begin to grow He will

01:05:46.160 --> 01:05:48.079
help me to be self-controlled He will

01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:51.039
help me to speak love to speak wisely If

01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:53.440
we live in the spirit let us also walk

01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:55.760
in the spirit Let us not become

01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:58.079
conceited provoking one another envying

01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:00.400
one another Mhm Brethren if a man is

01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:02.880
overtaken in any trespass you who are

01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.680
spiritual restore such a one in a spirit

01:06:05.680 --> 01:06:08.880
of gentleness considering yourself lest

01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:13.000
you also be tempted That's spiritual

01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:16.160
spiritual spiritual spiritually minded

01:06:16.160 --> 01:06:19.079
person This mind must be made spiritual

01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:22.160
How revelation come It will refresh your

01:06:22.160 --> 01:06:24.640
mind God's word refreshes our mind Our

01:06:24.640 --> 01:06:26.480
mind is renewed when we understand the

01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:29.359
will of God in the matter M that's when

01:06:29.359 --> 01:06:31.920
we have peace when you don't know the

01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:33.280
mind of God in the matter you are

01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:35.920
worried you panic but if God speak to

01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:39.359
you his mind on the matter you be quiet

01:06:39.359 --> 01:06:41.599
Moses understood that God took them by

01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:44.400
the Red Sea to glorify his his name by

01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:46.000
making the miracle by opening the Red

01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:48.319
Sea he saw it he was come but the people

01:06:48.319 --> 01:06:50.720
did not know and they panicked that's

01:06:50.720 --> 01:06:52.000
why when the Holy Spirit come we will

01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:55.079
give us revelation what is revelation a

01:06:55.079 --> 01:06:57.760

01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:04.559
What do you know God is with you You

01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:08.079
have peace Peace comes because of the

01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:10.240
knowledge that God is with me That

01:07:10.240 --> 01:07:12.559
you're not alone How do you know that

01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:14.640
God is with you You listen the inner

01:07:14.640 --> 01:07:17.599
voice of the Holy Spirit My God The day

01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:19.000
you are in the

01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:21.200
fire and you hear the small voice

01:07:21.200 --> 01:07:22.359
speaking to

01:07:22.359 --> 01:07:25.680
you Oh my Lord Last year we had a

01:07:25.680 --> 01:07:27.760
terrible situation Everybody knows we

01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:30.400
pray While I pray all of a sudden a

01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:32.799
voice came to my heart I said God say

01:07:32.799 --> 01:07:34.880
he's in control He will preserve us for

01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:36.240
the temptation coming through all the

01:07:36.240 --> 01:07:38.319
world I know he was God I said glory be

01:07:38.319 --> 01:07:41.280
to God He has spoken

01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:43.119
You need to listen to your conscience

01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:44.640
That's the problem Don't listen to these

01:07:44.640 --> 01:07:47.039
thoughts

01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:48.880
Let this mind become the ser your

01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:51.039
servant You are the spirit Don't don't

01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:54.160
be carried away by this body

01:07:54.160 --> 01:07:57.280
Your mind must be trained must be

01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:59.839
educated to listen to the word of God in

01:07:59.839 --> 01:08:01.760
your heart That's why you should examine

01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:03.280
everything in the light of God's word We

01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:05.280
need revelation in our heart We need

01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:06.559
spiritual understanding of the Holy

01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:08.960
Spirit When Paul was having the thorn in

01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:11.839
his flesh it was painful He went to God

01:08:11.839 --> 01:08:14.440
Lord help me help me help me Jesus kept

01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:18.319
quiet three times and God say my grace

01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:21.199
is sufficient for you At that moment

01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:23.520
Paul understood that God was in control

01:08:23.520 --> 01:08:25.279
He allowed this to happen for a purpose

01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:28.159
and he stopped worrying His mind changed

01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:31.040
He has peace He was calm That's why a

01:08:31.040 --> 01:08:33.920
man of faith can be happy in the midst

01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:36.560
of poverty because he knew this poverty

01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:38.960
will not last long because his mind is

01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:41.359
renewed So if you're watching today and

01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:43.279
you realize like some people have sent

01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:45.920
us a comment that now I know that it's

01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:48.040
in my mind that the devil's attacking me

01:08:48.040 --> 01:08:51.120
Remember once you identify the problem

01:08:51.120 --> 01:08:53.279
it's half half done Because if you're

01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:55.040
willing to get out of that problem right

01:08:55.040 --> 01:08:58.719
now get ready because we want your mind

01:08:58.719 --> 01:09:00.239
to be renewed I don't have time for

01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:01.520
certain but I have to tell you his

01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:03.839
tactics Many of the negative thoughts

01:09:03.839 --> 01:09:06.799
you have come from him He want to block

01:09:06.799 --> 01:09:09.159
your faith to doubt

01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:12.159
Sin is engineered by negative thoughts

01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:15.440
that Satan put into your mind your brain

01:09:15.440 --> 01:09:17.279
to doubt the goodness of God in your

01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:20.239
heart If make you things see things in a

01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:22.239
bad light that is Satan to provoke

01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:24.560
negative thoughts in situation or people

01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:26.159
speak badly to you and you begin to

01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:28.319
think about it Sometime if somebody is

01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:30.319
is in a situation the person will just

01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:31.319
look at the

01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:34.279
wall and say "Hey the person jump he's

01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:37.279
gone His mind is gone." Many times you

01:09:37.279 --> 01:09:38.359
say it to

01:09:38.359 --> 01:09:40.400
me sometime I look at you I say where

01:09:40.400 --> 01:09:41.960
did you go I said where did you

01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:44.319
travel you can be with your with your

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

01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:52.000
did I say she not able to say what you

01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:54.400
said because the spirit was not here you

01:09:54.400 --> 01:09:56.320
can be here your spirit can be in the

01:09:56.320 --> 01:09:58.400
far end of the world you can see how the

01:09:58.400 --> 01:10:00.640
mind is powerful

01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:02.960
when the mind is overwhelmed you don't

01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:04.960
know even where you are you can hear

01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:07.679
nothing your focus is gone and Satan

01:10:07.679 --> 01:10:10.480
took off your mind Don't allow this to

01:10:10.480 --> 01:10:13.600
happen Bring your mind back Capture your

01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:16.080
thought That's why Jesus rebuked Peter

01:10:16.080 --> 01:10:18.239
Get behind me Satan You think like man

01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:21.360
not like God Jesus knew the cross was a

01:10:21.360 --> 01:10:22.960
revelation of God's will to save human

01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:24.480
being That was the purpose of God in the

01:10:24.480 --> 01:10:26.800
matter He went to the cross and obeyed

01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:29.040
and submit to the will of God and be

01:10:29.040 --> 01:10:31.040
crucified Emanuel said "I'm totally

01:10:31.040 --> 01:10:32.880
healed by your teaching I was in pain

01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:35.120
Now I'm in peace." You know this is the

01:10:35.120 --> 01:10:36.640
importance of the word of God Someone

01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:39.199

01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:40.719

Spirit and goes straight into your heart

that's when changes take place Thank you

01:10:54.320 --> 01:10:56.960
So please learn to rebuke Satan by the

01:10:56.960 --> 01:10:59.920
word of faith Now let me give you one

01:10:59.920 --> 01:11:00.920

01:11:07.199 --> 01:11:10.480
that's not easy The mind is so overtaken

01:11:10.480 --> 01:11:12.560
by negative thoughts but you cannot read

01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:14.960
the Bible You cannot hear anything What

01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:19.320
do you do Take your Bible read it

01:11:19.320 --> 01:11:22.920
loudly not silently

01:11:22.920 --> 01:11:25.760
Loudly Why do you read loudly If you

01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:28.239
read it loudly you capture your ear The

01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:31.920
two powerful senses we have is this one

01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:34.400
sight and hearing This is the one we use

01:11:34.400 --> 01:11:36.560
99% of our relationship is sight and

01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:39.120
hearing If I don't hear Ruth I have no

01:11:39.120 --> 01:11:41.600
answer But I see her These one are the

01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:45.120
most powerful one that direct our life

01:11:45.120 --> 01:11:47.760
What we see what we hear So when you

01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:50.320
read the Bible you capture your eyes But

01:11:50.320 --> 01:11:53.120
this thing when you speak Jesus is Lord

01:11:53.120 --> 01:11:54.960
you hear it here You capture your

01:11:54.960 --> 01:11:57.360
thinking So read it loud When you read

01:11:57.360 --> 01:11:59.760
aloud you remember what you read By

01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:01.520
doing it loud you you are training

01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:03.760
yourself to speak right to think right

01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:05.840
and to act right Before you realize it

01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:08.800
your mind is refreshed Read the Bible

01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:10.960
aloud when you're alone and listen to

01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:12.880
what you're reading That will help you

01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:14.719
to first begin to discipline your mouth

01:12:14.719 --> 01:12:16.159
and your mind and your thought And

01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:17.679
before you realize you remember what you

01:12:17.679 --> 01:12:18.440
are

01:12:18.440 --> 01:12:20.880
saying There are many songs we repeat

01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:22.640
right Because we hear the song oh Lord

01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:24.560
we sing this afterwards The song become

01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:25.840
spontaneous in your heart when you sleep

01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:28.640
at night That's the same That's why God

01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:31.600
says Joshua read the aloud They know the

01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:34.320
secret of speaking the Bible aloud

01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:36.239
Prophet Yeshua gave you a lesson to me

01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:39.440
and you read slowly attentively

01:12:39.440 --> 01:12:42.000
repeatedly What he was saying mean when

01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:44.800
the where the the scripture is personal

01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:47.600
insight your name where the message is

01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:49.120
personal Where the message is personal

01:12:49.120 --> 01:12:51.120
In the Bible say when you read your

01:12:51.120 --> 01:12:53.719
Bible be oh my

01:12:53.719 --> 01:12:57.040
God When you read your Bible I can say

01:12:57.040 --> 01:12:58.719
the great majority of time God is

01:12:58.719 --> 01:13:00.719
speaking to me through the Bible When I

01:13:00.719 --> 01:13:03.440
read a verse the verse say I can do all

01:13:03.440 --> 01:13:05.760
things through Christ I say I rest I can

01:13:05.760 --> 01:13:07.199
do all things through Jesus Christ who

01:13:07.199 --> 01:13:09.280
strengthen me Jesus is my strength and I

01:13:09.280 --> 01:13:11.120
confess it I appropate the word in my

01:13:11.120 --> 01:13:13.280
life I live by it You put your name and

01:13:13.280 --> 01:13:15.560
speak it louder at the hearing of your

01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:18.960
mind of your ears of your heart If the

01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:20.960
word dominate your spirit it dominate

01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:22.960

mind is renewed and refreshed Amen So

01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:28.000
make sure you write that key down The

01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:30.239
most powerful senses are our eyes and

01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:32.320
our ears This is what actually rules our

01:13:32.320 --> 01:13:34.880
life So make sure when we read the Bible

01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:36.880
we don't just read it silently We also

01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:38.800
read it aloud Because when we read it

01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:41.360
aloud we're training our ears to listen

01:13:41.360 --> 01:13:43.760
to the word of God not just our eyes to

01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:45.840
see the word of God And in that way when

01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:48.320
we listen to the word of God audibly

01:13:48.320 --> 01:13:50.159
it'll sink into our spirits and our

01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:52.080
heart and would change the way we live

01:13:52.080 --> 01:13:54.320
our life and our mind is renewed So make

01:13:54.320 --> 01:13:55.679
sure you do that When you read aloud

01:13:55.679 --> 01:13:57.120
you're training yourself to think right

01:13:57.120 --> 01:13:58.480
because your mind is refreshed Your ear

01:13:58.480 --> 01:14:00.239
is refreshed You capture your thought

01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:02.320
You capture your word Speak only what

01:14:02.320 --> 01:14:05.440
God says There is a mystery of speaking

01:14:05.440 --> 01:14:08.400
the word of God to yourself loudly Amen

01:14:08.400 --> 01:14:10.640

of the Holy Spirit So make sure you

01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:40.159
continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help

01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:42.320
you to take more of you and give you

01:14:42.320 --> 01:14:46.080
more of him Jesus said if your eye

01:14:46.080 --> 01:14:49.920
causes you to fall sin to sin Yeah Plug

01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:52.080
it off Yeah If the hand causes to fall

01:14:52.080 --> 01:14:53.920
cut it off What does it mean If you're

01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:56.159
looking something encourage your faith

01:14:56.159 --> 01:14:57.920
negative thought stop watching it That's

01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.320
what it means If you're doing something

01:15:00.320 --> 01:15:03.120
there's no good for you Stop it

01:15:03.120 --> 01:15:05.120
If you if you're weak you got some when

01:15:05.120 --> 01:15:06.640
your faith is weak That's what happened

01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:08.880
to them in the wilderness because their

01:15:08.880 --> 01:15:11.040
faith was weak They were learning to get

01:15:11.040 --> 01:15:13.120
faith That's why they they were

01:15:13.120 --> 01:15:15.440
murmuring every day But if you are

01:15:15.440 --> 01:15:18.320
strong in the faith you will not murmur

01:15:18.320 --> 01:15:20.480
You will stay put get used to the

01:15:20.480 --> 01:15:22.400
situation and walk victoriously because

01:15:22.400 --> 01:15:25.199
Jesus is with you Amen Amen So very soon

long as you desire to go deep Look one

01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:48.159
day the prophet was saying that a father

01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:50.800
may have many children right some

01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:52.800
children where he stay far someone to be

01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:55.440
closer to know more that's our attitude

01:16:55.440 --> 01:16:57.440
towards Jesus do you sit at the back in

01:16:57.440 --> 01:16:59.280
the class or at the front that is it

01:16:59.280 --> 01:17:01.760
Jesus has 12 disciples but there was one

01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:03.679
who always put his head in the heart of

01:17:03.679 --> 01:17:06.400
Jesus apostle John John wanted to learn

01:17:06.400 --> 01:17:08.159
from Jesus more than anybody else and

01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:10.560
that's why John's gospel is so full of

01:17:10.560 --> 01:17:12.320
revelation as you can see God give him

01:17:12.320 --> 01:17:14.719
the gospel of John the most spiritual

01:17:14.719 --> 01:17:17.760
First John sec second and third and the

01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:20.000
book of revelation Why Because intimacy

01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:22.080
with God brings revelation It's so up to

01:17:22.080 --> 01:17:25.600
you God is waiting for you If you come

01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:27.920
