  8. Let's start this week with Malachai thri verse one and said, behold,

  9. I sent my messenger, and he will prepare the way

  10. before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly

  11. come to this temple. The messenger there talk us about

  12. John the Baptists. It is very strategic. The prophet Malachi

  13. is saying, there will be a messenger in the person

  14. of John. He's reminded me people, okay, he's just a messenger,

  15. but then the Messiah would come. And then he's asking,

  16. are you seeking that Lord? Are you seeking that Lord?

  17. Is that you're looking for? Maybe you're so you're so

  18. focused right now on the what I don't have. I

  19. want this. I hope I have this office made a blessed,

  20. my promise, open a man Christian as kids. Nasana Nasana

  21. Malaki actually referred this to how they build the temple

  22. eighty years eight years after Zacharayah and Hagai promised the

  23. building of the temple because the Lord said, when you

  24. build a temple, his glory will be there. But then

  25. they're asking where is God's glory? Not even his glory

  26. is there. There's no manifestation of God's glory. Though God

  27. was certainly alive and well. It was a period where

  28. God's people was waiting, waiting, waiting Are you in this

  29. season right now? That is like a waiting game. It's

  30. like your your faith is being tested. Now you know

  31. that faith is not by sight really a waiting game.

  32. It's it is a waiting game. It is a waiting gay.

  33. Unlike the where the Golden State Warriors fan, Lakers fan

  34. Lakers fan, unlike any of those games. We know this endgame.

  35. We know the endgame of our relationship with God. Jesus

  36. is victorious. He was hanged on the cross, died peers

  37. by all our transgressions, but then after three days he

  38. lived and now seated at the right kind of God.

  39. This is a different game. Yes, we're waiting but we

  40. know the endgame? Right? Are we living a victorious life?

  41. Do people see victory in us? Or they only see

  42. victory in us? Because may stay r TiO, may post dio.

  43. I'm in victory. Green is now listening to the most

  44. handsome pastor in that church, young Victoria style. But in

  45. our lives it's not actually being seen. Hebrews eleven, verse

  46. one said faith is confidence in what we hope for

  47. and assurance about what we do not see, what we

  48. don't see. You have thirty six days Christmas is here,

  49. the years about to end. Lord doesign your promis? And yeah,

  50. h Lord, Lord, what do you do? Let me post

  51. this question? What do we do? All of us? What

  52. do we do? If your present situation is far from promising?

  53. It's far from promising. You know that you have a promise,

  54. that God has a promise for you, But what do

  55. you do? How are you doing? How are we doing?

  56. In Malachi three, verse six said here for I the Lord,

  57. do not change. Everybody say do not change for God

  58. does not change for eye the Lord. Do not change

  59. for eye the Lord for eye the Lord. That's very big,

  60. that's an awesome statement, pointing to a fact that I

  61. am your creator. God says, I hold everything together for you. Hey,

  62. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I know you,

  63. I know the count of your hair. I am God,

  64. and guess what you are. If he's God, we are not.

  65. That's a fact. That's a statement of a fact. There.

  66. That he is Lord means pa. See Lord did Babago

  67. tae you and Madeles Macbago. He does not change. That's

  68. his character. When we talk about character, we talk about

  69. he's unchanging his characters is immutability. Immutability means this. This

  70. actually is the hinge for all of his character because

  71. he is unchanging God. God is unchanging in his character,

  72. in his will and covenant promises. If we are we,

  73. if our faith is only by sight promise. I was

  74. talking to a a mom and and and this mom

  75. is going to something in the hospital and then men,

  76. so I was asking, I was asking her do you

  77. want do you want another kid? He has she has

  78. two sons, And I was asking, do you want another

  79. another kid? Do you want a daughter? Well? Helanda man

  80. can willia Lord ok ann. But it's different when you

  81. know that your sons and daughters and you claim those

  82. will that it's unchanging because he's not well. I'm going

  83. to this operation. And now, Lord, do you want to

  84. have a daughter, And she said, yes, I do, but

  85. depending on WILLI Lord? No, no, no, no, no no no.

  86. I kept on insisting, do you want to have a daughter, yes,

  87. Why don't you claim it? Why don't you pray for it?

  88. The willing Lord? Yes, Malam, you will the Lord. But

  89. it's different when we know who we talk about it.

  90. It's it talks about a relationship. It talks about a relationship.

  91. God sees what's inside our hearts. He said, for I

  92. the Lord, immutable, unchanging, Okay, immutable. What comes to mind

  93. is x men, x men and x men mutants. They

  94. can become a different Parcelona. Not only that, some can

  95. turn evil and then some can turn good. Not God,

  96. He's not changing, no matter what your situation, no matter

  97. what our situation is right now, He does not change.

  98. He does not change. He is not hinged on the

  99. situation that we are in our faith. Sometimes because we

  100. don't have a relationship we got, we don't have a

  101. deep relationship, we don't have a strong relationship with God.

  102. It hinges on situations. But God does not change. Tire

  103. you on tire. You ever changing, because see God unchanging,

  104. We as humans sometimes are ever changing depending on situations.

  105. In David says in Some one O two says, here

  106. of all you lay the foundation of the earth, and

  107. the heavens are the work of your hands.

  108. They will perish, but you will remain. They will they

  109. will all wear out like a garment. You will change

  110. them like a robe, and they will pass away. But

  111. you are the same, and your years has no end.

  112. Talks about God who created everything for us. Bisha mcbabago

  113. hindi magbago in Eypna.

  114. It's different. I'm a parent of three children, seventeen year old,

  115. a fifteen year old and a seven year old. My

  116. youngest daughter Lara, she would always change her mind. Okay,

  117. I'm Pina favorite timea bom b haya is her birthday

  118. bin Ladona name birthday Yahgan thirteen years old. Jah, Okay,

  119. this this birthday, I want here, this birthday, I want here.

  120. Just last night she was like, okay, Mom, I remember

  121. you had a picture that you rode an elephant. Where

  122. was that? That's in Thailand? Okay, can I have my

  123. eighth birthday there? Okay? Last the Opina eight birthday. Yes,

  124. a kid zunaj Ma lacking jump on from Kidsuna to Thailand.

  125. Like my eldest son. He's going to college now. He

  126. took already all the different entrance exams and then but

  127. whenever I ask him, different different course, different schooling. But

  128. the character of God, it's immutable. It does not change.

  129. God does not change. This is important to to pound

  130. on because if we believe that he can change, change

  131. can say it's a variable. When you say change, there's

  132. a beginning, right like bags and then end state there's

  133. another end and then another beginning. The Bible said God

  134. is the alpha in the omega, no beginning, no end.

  135. The song a while ago that we sang, he said,

  136. he's constant, no boundaries, He's internal, nothing, universe. The guy

  137. see that ty in our own finite mind. We tend

  138. to put him there, but the vastness of him knows

  139. no boundaries, no beginning, and no end. He's his character

  140. doesn't change through to the fact that from being good,

  141. he cannot be bad. He's not. He's eternally good. He's

  142. eternally perfect. His eternity, his character is a mission. He

  143. knows everything and everything he controls. That's important. If we

  144. know that God is immutable, that means that we can

  145. trust him. If we know we try to serve a God,

  146. but we know that he's changing, would you trust him?

  147. Would we trust him? But God is imputable, so we

  148. can trust him and trust him fully. It's continued with

  149. verse six said, so you descend us of Jacob, are

  150. not destroyed. That's you and me. That's a fact. That's

  151. a we are descendants of Jacob. That means if we

  152. feel like God is changing because we see our situation,

  153. because you you young, young, young line of sight, noting

  154. our situation only it's all about me, me, me, me me.

  155. When we feel like He is unchanging, that scary thought,

  156. that means maybe now he saved us, gave us mercy. Tomorrow. Yeah,

  157. now I save you, not tomorrow I will destroy you. No, No,

  158. I don't even I don't. I don't even entertain that thought.

  159. It's not about our situation. It's about who he is,

  160. his true character. Verse seven said another fact, He said,

  161. from the days of your father's you have turned aside

  162. from my statutes and have not kept them. This is God.

  163. This is like a discussion between stilighting God. It call

  164. you call but before we actually accuse God, we need

  165. to have a deep assessment of where we are. You know,

  166. it's easy, it's easy. Every time there's an accusing finger something,

  167. it's easy to just deflect and say that's not me.

  168. But let's not do that with God. Let's not play

  169. around with God with our relationship. If you play around

  170. the relationship, that's not a relationship. That's a religion. And

  171. what we're what we're praying for, is a relationship. Here

  172. are some implications because of God's immitability. Okay, first, it's

  173. because God does not change. We can return to God.

  174. Everybody say return. Because God does not change, we can

  175. actually receive all his blessings. Who wants blessings for blessings?

  176. Because God does not change, we can rejoice in him.

  177. These are implications of his character immitability. Now we can,

  178. He actually invites us to return to him. God knows, Yes,

  179. God knows the sin that you did on your way here.

  180. God knows if you're sinning right now because you're nodding

  181. to your pastors, but you're thinking about justice league later.

  182. God knows what you will sin on tomorrow and the

  183. next day, and the next day and the next day.

  184. But still he invites you and I and it doesn't

  185. change sometimes tilmayo Ti is a gravity see that in taio. Okay,

  186. this is not for God to know to Maybe God

  187. doesn't understand this, maybe maybe maybe not here in verse seven,

  188. he said return to me, and I will return to you,

  189. says the Lord of Hosts. There's no preconditions. It just said,

  190. just return to me. Period. My school loves me so much. Okay,

  191. my school loves me so much they give me an

  192. honorary degree because every year they will retain me because

  193. I'm really an honorable student. So in honor and lack

  194. of by retaining me every year, okay, and every time

  195. my mom has to go and then sign something probationary. Uh,

  196. something probationary A fifty percent of the school in the

  197. Probably I'm on probation for them to accept me. There

  198. are preconditions that I have to meet. Then after after

  199. one grading period, they would assess if I'll be allowed

  200. the rest of the year. Not God, He takes us

  201. in as we are dirty, messy, sinning, just since a

  202. while ago, sinning. Now we're sin tomorrow. Come to me,

  203. return to me, period the Lord. And then Lord the

  204. the maya Lord. Sometimes because of our pride, we even

  205. say that Lord, come to me, return to him. He's

  206. never changing. He doesn't change the way he looks at us.

  207. He loves us as we are, loves us as we are.

  208. You know how so so how how shall we? How

  209. shall we return? Because of this discussion, God was actually

  210. checking what's inside our hearts, especially when it said this

  211. and Malachi three Versaid said, will man rob God? Yet

  212. you are rubbing me? But you say, how have we

  213. robbed you? In your tights and contributions? Remember last week

  214. talked about this last week, bring the first fruits you

  215. about go worship, not the pinilpa okay, not this fresh too,

  216. one hundred percent quality standard app into we begin, not

  217. into ninety nine percent doing okay, ninety eight percent, begin

  218. a think, hey Lord, we keep some for ourselves. It's

  219. as if that Maubu's and Tayo we tend to think

  220. that way. Why if we think that we are slaves servants,

  221. that's the that's the slave mentality, servants mentality. But if

  222. we know that our relationship is our based on being

  223. sons and daughters, that's different, right, that's different. I know

  224. that from my children in the house, everything is theirs,

  225. even though I bought them. My prayer is that you

  226. won't be like me. This this is a confession years

  227. back before I became a disciple in peraira to put

  228. repairs happened. Bo. It's in the Bible. Hello, but in

  229. a long gina mucha tits and offering. You know, actually

  230. for me, if we don't talk about money, yes, do

  231. you know that in the Bible eight hundred times the

  232. Bible talked about money eight hundred times. That's a lot.

  233. Eight hundred times he talked about money. And if you

  234. go to a church that doesn't talk about money, how

  235. to handle money, what the money is for, and how

  236. God would continue to to to to bless us that

  237. he gave us the ability to produce wealth, then be

  238. scared because something's wrong with that church. Why did God

  239. talk about money? Because they know that God knows our heart,

  240. He knows us too well. He knows that that's usually

  241. our downfall when blessings come. We can't contain it. We

  242. thought that everything that we ask is ours, and we

  243. forgot what is due to our Lord eight hundred times.

  244. Even different referrals to how money can corrupt us you know,

  245. it's good that God talked about that because it's the

  246. most trivial, the most temporal. What what what what I mean? Temporal?

  247. You can bring it to heaven temporarybago I value it.

  248. I remember I wanted to go to Europe and then

  249. so I kept on saving on different moneys in Europe.

  250. You might go to com places like Germany, London and

  251. then uh London, France too. When they change to a

  252. batta euro well on value, well on value, temporal, temporary, trivial,

  253. it's tangible. You can even bring them to heaven. You can't.

  254. God talks about that, and God is asking, now, what's

  255. in our hearts? Matthew says, where your treasure is there,

  256. your heart will be also what's in our hearts? God

  257. is not just them. God is not after our tights.

  258. He's not He's after our hearts. He's after our hearts.

  259. If we think that we can rob God by not

  260. giving our tights, this is important. Hang on to this.

  261. If you actually think that you can rob God with

  262. tights and offering, you can rub him and cheat him

  263. of anything. That's scary, and that's true. Tiights is just

  264. between you and God. If you can rub him of that.

  265. You can rub him of your time, your quiet time,

  266. you're alone time with here, You're you can actually cheat

  267. on him. You can actually even cheat on different relationships

  268. if you can rub God. He's after our hearts. He's

  269. after our hearts more than our tights. Tights. It's not

  270. about the pestle, about the decimal, well, it's not. It's

  271. all entirely about the purity of our hearts. Talk us

  272. about lordship. Are we one hundred percent for God? Or

  273. are we just ninety nine ninety seven good enough? I

  274. have this story. I asked permission from my wife to

  275. tell you this story. We prayed about it also, and

  276. I have some of our leaders about this. This is

  277. the legacy wall. This legacy wall in Every Nation Building

  278. Phase two. I just want to prove a point that

  279. God doesn't actually need our money. Okay, are you seeing you?

  280. In context? Back, it's not been the pastore. God doesn't

  281. need our money. That doesn't unty, but he's after our hearts. Again,

  282. in context, when when we started the Every Nation Building

  283. Phase two three years ago, almost four years ago, and

  284. it was going to be built, we joined one of

  285. the fundraisings and in that fundraising fundraising. We my wife

  286. and I we prayed about it, and we prayed hard

  287. and said, okay, we're gonna give to this building. Why

  288. because we believe that this will advance God's kingdom. Not

  289. because I'm a staff, but because it is actually made

  290. duty as a Christian. So when we went there, prayed

  291. about it and then we we we pledged for a

  292. virtual wall in virtual all par iPad iPad and then

  293. it would the pledge would take around less than one

  294. hundred thousand. I said, okay, one hundred thousand, pray time, pray,

  295. come in. Then boom sealed lo and behold. Two years after,

  296. actually twenty three months after. Twenty three months after, somebody

  297. from the Ministry department called us and said, sir, by

  298. the way we are, you have been now considered to

  299. be part of the legacy Wall. And we were like, wow,

  300. parana kama Lisila legacy wall is around two and a

  301. half more than what we actually pledge. When I checked

  302. me with my wife and I said, okay, how did

  303. that happenasla amaanion pledge. But we still kept on giving

  304. because why because we ask the Lord? We ask the Lord,

  305. And this very verse struck to our mind, it is

  306. him who will build his church if you completely trust

  307. in the immitability of God. He asked you to be

  308. involved in this. Oh, my Lord, we build me in

  309. church to okay, I want to take part. He gives

  310. me now even that extra ability to give for his house.

  311. That's who That's the God that we serve. That's who

  312. he is. He's after our hearts, not our money. Never

  313. Verse nine, your curse with a curse for you robbing

  314. me the whole nation off you. The past three weeks

  315. I've been doing book study on the book of Leviticus,

  316. and every time there's a promise, and there's always a

  317. all the the reminders, all the offerings. You do this

  318. when you when you are bad, you do this reminders,

  319. offerings remind their offerings. And then different events after events,

  320. uh pass over, the harvest for the season, the feast

  321. for feast. But what scared scares me is every time,

  322. every time that you actually don't obey, there's a consequence.

  323. I'm not saying, I'm not implying in our situation right

  324. now if that is like a curse. But what I'm

  325. getting at is we be aware that if he is

  326. after our heart, we have to check the condition now

  327. of our hearts. What's the condition of our hearts? He

  328. wants us to return and to return to his fold fully.

  329. Second point, my second point is because God does not change,

  330. we can now receive all his blessings, all his blessings,

  331. not just partial blessings. Okay, are in our night mind

  332. you wired tie and Okay, if I do this, I

  333. get this in return. But God is different. Before we

  334. Roman said, before we actually friends of God, we were sinners.

  335. He already took us in his fall. How many of

  336. you here, you're citizens of the Philippines, Filipino citizens. You

  337. pay taxes, You pay taxes, raisans, raycians, Well, MBI RD,

  338. that's not why. How many of you hear you? You

  339. pay the right taxes. You even know we pay taxes,

  340. actually pay rightful tax We pay taxes because we acknowledge

  341. that we're under the government governance of this nation, right

  342. because we're citizens. But I haven't found a biblical scripture,

  343. so I'm treading on a very thin line here. But

  344. look at this pattern. Listen, if we consider ourselves to

  345. be under the kingship lordship of Jesus Christ, we call

  346. ourselves a sons and daughters. Are we not ought to

  347. give our tithes and offering because we want to be

  348. under his kingship. You know what's good about his kingship.

  349. Let's go back to the chosen week one. When he

  350. chose us. He protects us, and he even preserves us.

  351. If you're under his kingship, he protects you and preserves you.

  352. In Machi verse ten said bring the full tithe into

  353. the storehouse, then there may be food in my house.

  354. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord

  355. of hosts. If I will not open the windows of

  356. heaven to you and our and pour down for you

  357. a blessing until there is no more need, he would

  358. open the windows of heaven and bore out all his

  359. blessing until sabrang about. I'm gonna be animal. God is

  360. testing our hearts with just the ten percent, just the

  361. ten percent. Chinky Randall, Jason Low and the pastors always

  362. teaches this way. Test is a ten percent how how

  363. how how he taught me before when now I was

  364. starting ten percent ts in offering, ten percent, ten ten

  365. percent tights, ten percent offering, ten percent savings, seventy percent.

  366. Sometimes cause even focus lang thirty percent, seventy percent. Actually,

  367. if you are really mad, leg he didn't just give

  368. you seventy percent. He gave you one hundred percent. As

  369. the Book of Genesis said, he gave you one hundred percent.

  370. And he's just asking rightfully, what is for him? Always

  371. go back to self satisfaction. Does this satisfying satisfy me?

  372. And it would talk about your contentment when you talk

  373. about your contentment now but pass entitlement? Lord entitled, entitled,

  374. So don't you value what is the value of our hearts?

  375. This cuts across employee employee employee employee te pup as well, though,

  376. And that was gonna be all across. Remember, he's not

  377. after the mounts, after our hearts. So what value are

  378. you bringing out? The value of titing is not in

  379. the amount, but in the obedient heart. It's about obedience

  380. of our heart. Do you you want to willingly obey?

  381. Or every time it's begrudging when you give? Are you

  382. a cheerful giver? Not only that is that are you

  383. satisfied with what you have? Are we content with what

  384. we have? Or we're always looking for what we don't have?

  385. And Lord and etonicy change and no, doesn't change, we change.

  386. Verse eleven said, I will rebuke the devour for you

  387. so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil.

  388. And you're vine in the field shall not fail to bear,

  389. says the Lord of Hosts. He's not only he's not

  390. only after. He's not only looking and trying to protect

  391. and concerned about our tithing and our offering. He's even

  392. concerned with the ninety percent. As I said, he being

  393. part of his kingdom, he would protect us and he

  394. would preserve us. That means lahatina blessing. Then asatin ladam blessing, libghet,

  395. I know wisdom, how to make it grow, How how

  396. not to succumb the temptation, how how how not to

  397. be overly self centered in how we do it? He

  398. would preserve us. And preservation that's the hope, that's the joy.

  399. That's the joy that he wants to give us complete joy,

  400. joy in him. Because God does not change, we can

  401. rejoice in him. Everybody, say, rejoice, rejoice. In Verse twelve said,

  402. then all nations will call you blessed, for you will

  403. be a land of the light, says the Lord of Hosts.

  404. Blessed nations. We know bless because he needs. That's why

  405. he's being blessed. Blessed because Christian and it's good to

  406. hear those. But being blessed means that you have you

  407. know your rightful stepping with God, you know where you are,

  408. you know how you stand. Generous people, yes, are blessed

  409. people with God's favor, in his favor in David wrote

  410. this in some thirty seven version. I have been young

  411. and now old, yet I have not seen righteousness forsaken

  412. or his children begging for bread. This is this is

  413. my this is my season right now as a parent,

  414. that that I'm saving up. What I'm doing, Uh, I'm

  415. investing in everything, not just materially, but even investing in

  416. the lives of people. Why it's for my next generation.

  417. It's for the generation in the generations that were coming

  418. up from from from from our family. But there's a

  419. promise that if we are righteous, if we give, if

  420. we are obedient, not about the amount, but we obey

  421. him in everything, he will give us those blessings. What

  422. are what do you want? What do we want? How

  423. many parents here? Raise your hands? How many parents here?

  424. How many? I know all of us? We want to

  425. leave a legacy for our children more than the money.

  426. My prayer is that you're actually building his character or

  427. her character to be christ like. This is this is

  428. this is part of the legacy wall. And uh, those

  429. are my children right there in the bottom, jell Amonti

  430. and Lara Uui. We weren't gonna put our names already

  431. in the wall because we are humble and their ananymous

  432. anonymous giver in every anonymous, humble, anonymous. But then somebody

  433. approached us and told us, why why don't you put

  434. it under your kid's name? And I was wondering why

  435. for them to know, for them to understand that they

  436. can actually go back to this wall, go back to

  437. this building, go back to this church, and they would

  438. know that this is their roots, Like oh wow, but

  439. you know that's the legacy we ought to build, not

  440. the legacy of This is the kingdom of Jason Chua.

  441. This is the the kingdom of Adrian mcnoian. This is

  442. the kingdom of of of Rapha mcdoto some some minecraft kingdom.

  443. Now what we should be building even in our legacy,

  444. It is God's Kingdom. Are we building on that? We're

  445. building on that? Maybe in your that situation, right now

  446. that you're you're actually you're still struggling, and you're you're

  447. you're still looking for for for for justice every time

  448. and year in, year out, promises and promises, it's all

  449. about justice. And then and maybe some of you that

  450. the Lord Nasa, But in love, it's not about our situation.

  451. It's not. It's not. You know, justice and love actually

  452. met on the cross and what happened. It's mercy. It's mercy.

  453. If he is changing, if he is, if you want

  454. Jesus a God to just be just, we won't be

  455. here today. You won't if we through love, love love

  456. love love, love will happen with that detail he gave

  457. us mercy. Mercy means what is ours right now is

  458. not ours for the taking. We're not right. No, we're

  459. even unworthy of those blessings that he has for us.

  460. That's why it's free. It's free, but it's costly. Sometimes

  461. we neglect it. Why because it doesn't cost that anything,

  462. but it costs God everything. Aust God, his son, cost

  463. Jesus his life. So please do remember this that God

  464. does not change, He doesn't change. If can we do this,

  465. if we know that God is the giver of life,

  466. He's the giver of life. If we know God, God

  467. gives us hope, if God gives us peace, right, and

  468. if God gives us love. The question is now, why

  469. don't we respond? Why can't we respond? Maybe there's a

  470. sin issue in your life. I don't know, maybe in

  471. just neglect. Maybe it's because you don't have time alone

  472. with him. Different in every case. But my question is

  473. you know this, this this book of Malachi. When when

  474. the prophet Malachi kept on asking us to remember this,

  475. you would see that it talks about a relationship. Because

  476. if you know you have a relationship with God, you're

  477. reminded of this. Now there's a response. What is the

  478. response for us to recommit our lives to God? If

  479. we know that he's unchanging, are we willing to recommit

  480. our lives to him? That's a question I post with

  481. you today and I want to end with these stories versus.

  482. This is the ultrasound ultrasound of ethel Pades. She works

  483. for every nation and nine years they've been praying for

  484. for a kid. Nine years. That's long. She could actually say,

  485. you know, but the labor is a church gets nine years.

  486. Now I'm as I'm if if your a situation right

  487. now is like that because you have a servant slave mentality.

  488. They kept on believing. Yesterday all of us were crazily

  489. shouting bade. It's because they knew that God pulled through

  490. again nine years. Look at this beautiful in an apple

  491. of mine. This is daughter of our former staff Chaid

  492. fifteen years she waited, she did everything young end up

  493. saving alum Lord in as Moran relationship, I mean alum

  494. Lords his son alam Lord. Thank you as a strengthened

  495. young faith. Now we don't know what God is doing,

  496. but know this, his promises doesn't change. He might actually

  497. be waiting for us to change for the good, for

  498. his good, perfect will. This is Pastor a yell. This

  499. is kind of different. Pastor a yell eight years ago

  500. lost his and before Beya and Jerome. It was the

  501. time that I was entering the ministry where he lost

  502. his son. That was crushing all of us. He's my

  503. first pastor ever, and it crushed us. When all of us,

  504. me and my wife, we're very young in the faith.

  505. We were asking, packet you Lord, Amania, well Damania back

  506. the pastoriano seven thousand church member back at the noon.

  507. He he he, we have put us aside, and you say,

  508. you know, Larry, we don't know. I have bitterness inside

  509. that have me and me and Shirley. We have questions,

  510. But then how can you question God? He gave us Jerome.

  511. Those eight years are good years. So when he rightfully Jerome,

  512. it's okay. There's he has a plan. The two little

  513. girls beside, there is his plan. Now they have three children.

  514. I'm not saying go through that suffering now. Up until

  515. now when whenever it's Jerome's birthday or death anniversary, we

  516. would still talk and the heart will still be there.

  517. But do not let it linger. You understand, you have

  518. to rise up. Why you haven't any changing God? You

  519. know the endgame. Lakers might not win the championship next

  520. year or next year or next year, but Jesus has

  521. won the victory for you and I. We are more

  522. than conquerors. The victory is already in us. He doesn't change.

  523. This is my last story, Jason. I didn't know you're

  524. gonna be here. This is Jason's brother there on your right.

  525. That's victory. Tian A victors. His company became Dea in

  526. debt as in Young Human zero, Young Digits and calculator,

  527. so digits. He he almost lost his life because he

  528. was contemplating on ending his life. He lost his business.

  529. He he thought he would lose his mind. There were

  530. times that when when when I got to meet him,

  531. he it's as if he's losing his mind already. But

  532. praise be to God that he didn't lose his family.

  533. That his family God said, got to know Jesus Christ,

  534. and now they're serving the church. Yes they are still

  535. in debt, but they know that that debt that has

  536. to be paid has already been paid by Jesus Christ.

  537. Praise God and ask everybody to stand up. I don't

  538. know your situation right now, but you have to remember

  539. that victory is ours because of who God is inviautable.

  540. He has chosen us, he has loved us. He's our king.

  541. We're under his lordship, and he does not change. Maybe

  542. you are in that lemma right now. You're asking Lord,

  543. where are you do you change? Why have you changed?

  544. The Lord's saying I have not changed. I am constant,

  545. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I'm true the

  546. same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and I am the author

  547. and perfector of your faith. So Lord Father, I pray

  548. right now, each one of us, we would know this,

  549. we should take this too hard. Lord, even pray, Lord God, Lord,

  550. that you would shine your face upon us, knowing, Lord God,

  551. that our faith is in you and in you alone.

  552. Maybe there are some of you in this room right

  553. now that you're feeling aggrieve. You're feeling like like the Israelite,

  554. that there are pestilence everywhere, that everything you touch is

  555. trending to nod. The Lord's saying, I'm to you, my

  556. sons and my daughters. I am the way, I am

  557. the truth. I am your life, and I do not change. Father.

  558. I pray Lord that you would speak to us Lord,

  559. that we will deepen, Lord God, not not the sacrifices,

  560. not the not the Lord, not in our own way,

  561. but Lord, deepen our relationship with you, and no, Father,

  562. I pray right now for your perfect will, perfect purposes,

  563. Lord God, will be revealed in us. Lord, that the

  564. waiting game is joyful. Lord, that the waiting game, in

  565. this waiting game, we will be full of delight and

  566. we will bank on the one through God. Thank you, Lord.
