Welcome.
-
Just hand away Tagalog sermon podcast Your Daily does I'm
-
inspiring heartfelt tagalog sermons.
-
From different factors and speakers all over the Philippines.
-
We hope that this podcast finds you in good shape.
-
And now here's your message.
-
You were listening to a message from Victory. We hope
-
it inspires you to honor God and make disciples in
-
your community.
-
All right, if you have your Bibles with you, turn
-
it to Psalm chapter one hundred and three, will be
-
going through the whole Song of Some and it starts
-
off with verse one. And it's interesting in verse one
-
in the last verse because this when the song was made,
-
it was a bookend of the same theme. Okay, and
-
one hundred and three, verse one it says, bless the Lord,
-
oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless
-
his holy name. And in the last verse, in verse
-
twenty two, it talks about blessing the Lord again. So
-
the writer of the song, David was saying, in our
-
life we begin with praise and blessing the Lord, and
-
at the end of our life we also end with
-
praising and blessing the name of the Lord. In whatever
-
season that we are in. I love how he uses
-
the word bless the Lord, Oh my soul. Soul talks
-
about the seat of the emotion. Okay, all of our emotion, happy, sad, glad, hungry, angry, you.
-
Know, peaceful. Bless the Lord, oh my soul. What that
-
means is whatever.
-
Emotion that I'm feeling, whether I'm so happy today or
-
I'm at the darkest moment of my life and I'm
-
resting in despair and depression, I can actually praise.
-
The Lord and bless the Lord.
-
All that is within me, my very inner being praises
-
the Lord. Week one, we talk about tays and see
-
that the Lord is good, engaging all our senses to
-
experience the goodness of God. And now it talks about
-
when we experience the grace of God, it makes me
-
bless the Lord with my innermost being, all that is
-
within me, I praise his name.
-
You will know a person.
-
Has really walk with God when he would praise God
-
not just in the midst of happiness and joy, but
-
also in the midst of suffering that he can say,
-
bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is
-
within me, bless his Holy name. It's engaging my senses
-
to bless the Lord, to praise the Lord. How are
-
we in times when it is challenging to praise or
-
to pray to the Lord.
-
I know we wrestle with it.
-
I wrestle with it, especially in dark moments, in moments
-
when you feel like you couldn't pray. The Bible says,
-
you've got to bless the Lord with all that is
-
within you.
-
I need to muster up enough faith to utter words.
-
Of praise and declaring, God, you are good, God, you
-
are gracious, even in the midst of suffering.
-
And this was what David was saying.
-
As we sing this song and pass this on to
-
the next generation, we will tell them, do not just
-
praise God in the midst of joy, You praise God
-
in the midst of suffering, in the midst of pain.
-
Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is
-
within me.
-
Bless his Holy name.
-
Then in verse two it says, bless the Lord all
-
my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
-
David now tells.
-
The people you've got, you shouldn't forget the benefits you have.
-
As a child of God.
-
We tend to easily forget, right, We forget a lot
-
of things we forget, whether it's something that's good or
-
bad that has happened in the life. After a few months,
-
we forget. After a few years, we forget. And whether
-
it's for the good or for the bad, we by
-
nature tend to forget. And David was saying, as people
-
of God, do not forget, forget what do not forget
-
your benefits as a child of God. And so today
-
I have nine points. Okay, very long, sermonth. It took
-
me in one hour to preach none, just joking. In
-
the next twenty five minutes, I'll be showing to you
-
nine benefits of being a child of God, of what
-
it means to have God as my Lord and Savior,
-
as the God whom I worship. And God was saying,
-
as you worship me and as you fear me, do
-
not forget the benefits I'm going to give you.
-
And this is what We're going to look at today.
-
Let's not forget.
-
That's why you have to take down notes so you
-
won't forget, or take a picture of the not me,
-
not my face, take a picture of the verses, or
-
might as well read your Bible some one hundred and
-
three sing this as a song. Get the ten thousand
-
reasons downloaded so that you'll not forget your benefits. Verse three,
-
it says, first benefit, who forgives all your iniquity, who
-
heals all your diseases. In this line he says the
-
first two benefits. Number one, he forgives you of all
-
your sin. Now, when we say God forgives us of
-
our sin, you have to understand the theology behind this.
-
It took Jesus going down to Earth to forgive us
-
of our sin. Somebody needed to pay the penalty of
-
our sin. So what the song was saying is, do
-
not forget the Christ has forgiven you. God forgives us
-
of our sin. Sometimes, you know, the problem is we
-
have a hard time forgiving ourself for our own sin.
-
God is saying, No, I am a God who give
-
you the benefit. The benefit is I forget given you
-
of your sin. Do not let sin define you. Do
-
not let the sin of your past define who will
-
you become today? Who you are today, it's not because
-
of the sins that you've committed or was committed against you.
-
It is me who defines it.
-
I've forgiven you of your sin, and I've asked my
-
beloved son to die on the cross for your sin.
-
That's why we can come to God and worship God.
-
That's why I can bless the Lord. All my soul
-
and all that is within me will bless His holy name.
-
Why because now I'm forgiven deby It's hard If may
-
trans Nig and I will go to Nik and talk
-
to Ni, it will be awkward because I know there
-
is unresolved sin. There's no way I can ask Niki
-
for a favor because I know I've hurt her, I've
-
cheated on her, or I manipulated her. And now I
-
come to why because there's unresolved sin. What God is
-
saying is I've forgiven you of all your sin.
-
And then he goes to the next one.
-
He says, not only have I forgiven you of all
-
your sin, I've healed all your disease. What he's saying is,
-
I'm not saying there's a guarantee today as you leave
-
the church, your all your.
-
Sickness will be gone.
-
What the song was saying is, this is a God
-
who is capable of healing you of every disease. You
-
come to that God, it's not the pastor.
-
Who will heal you.
-
It is God who heals you, and I will heal
-
you of all your diseases. That's why in the New Testament,
-
every time there's somebody who's sick, what would Jesus say,
-
there's a Lord, do you want to get well? Yes,
-
your sins are forgiven. Be like tat you about. He
-
did not say, rise up and walk. He says, your
-
sins are forgiven because the ultimate disease that we have
-
is our sin. And he says, if I go to
-
the root, I'll be able to bring healing upon the people.
-
Everybody here will die.
-
You all know that mortality rate not one hundred percent.
-
Everybody in this room will die. God is a God
-
who's able to heal. But ultimately it is God who
-
forgives us of our sin by sending his son Jesus
-
to come here on earth to die on the cross
-
for us. He forgives our sin, He heals our diseases.
-
You can come to the.
-
Lord in prayer and declare, Lord, I pray that this
-
year will be a sick free year for my family. Lord,
-
I declare the healing of God. I declare divine health
-
over my family. Because it is a benefit that God
-
has given you. I declare that over my family. Lord,
-
it will be sick free for my family. Lord that
-
I'm not going to the hospital except for my few pimples. Lord,
-
I don't even go to the Derimah. Right, it's just
-
declaring God, it's going to be sick free for us, Lord,
-
that you will boost the immune system of my kids
-
in the name of Jesus.
-
That's what we do.
-
But lamanamen, Oh, come come here, let's pray Lord right now,
-
we command the immune system, Lord to be strong in
-
the name of Jesus. Y. It's a benefit that you
-
can actually claim. And that's why you learn how to pray.
-
If you read the word, He's forgiven me of my sin,
-
and he's healed me of my diseases verse four. Who
-
redeems you from your life from the pit, Who crowns
-
you with steadfast love and mercy.
-
When he talks about redeeming your.
-
Life from the pit, the context was he was talking
-
to the Israelites, and life from the pit was was
-
the story of the Israelites in Egypt, where they were slaves.
-
They couldn't even make a choice in life. They were slaves.
-
They would work more than twelve hours a day for
-
somebody who treats them as slaves. He says, I will
-
take you out from that life of pit.
-
I will redeem you.
-
I will take away the bondages, the strongholds of your life.
-
It is me who would do it.
-
It takes a supernatural God to take somebody out of
-
the pit.
-
You can't do that on your own.
-
It's going to be hard to do it on your own.
-
There's no mantra that you can reside every day in
-
front of the mirror that could take you out from
-
the pit. There's no pill that can take you out
-
of depression. It can make you feel good for a
-
certain moment, but then after that it comes back. It
-
is God who takes our life away from the pit,
-
removing us from the bondage of sin, and then he
-
crowns us with steadfast love and mercy.
-
Here's a picture of a.
-
Man that was in bondage, swallowed by a mud pit.
-
They couldn't take him out, it was too heavy.
-
This is a picture of a lot of Christians today
-
who forgot the benefits. They're living life under the pit
-
of sin, of the pressure of anger, of unforgiveness, and
-
they don't when people were helping them. They don't want
-
any help. They say, I'm hopeless. It's hopeless. Lord, you
-
don't understand how deep down I am.
-
In the pit.
-
But God is saying, I am the God who can
-
take you out, redeem you from a life, from the
-
life that is in the pit. Redeem means I paid
-
for so that you can have a greater life, alive
-
with purpose and meaning, not alive under the pit.
-
That's very pitiable.
-
But you hold back by strongholds of sin, of unforgiveness,
-
and God is saying, only I can take you supernaturally
-
out of it. Addictions can be broken supernaturally. In fact,
-
study shows that even rehabilitation in doxification of any addiction,
-
whether it's born, it's drugs, whatever addiction it is, it's
-
a disease.
-
As we all know.
-
That's why we go to rehab is as low as
-
less than ten.
-
Percent success rate.
-
Why science cannot solve something that's supernatural. It takes a
-
supernatural God to take away demonic strongholds. Whether you're addicted
-
to us, addicted to medicine, addicted to whatever addiction that
-
you have, it takes a supernatural God.
-
To do it. It is God who takes our life
-
away from the pit. The world has tried so many solutions. Fear,
-
if you do this will kill you.
-
And we all know after how many months, it's not
-
really a long term solution. You can be fearful now,
-
but you will stay on the pit. The addiction will
-
never be solved for the next how many years, only.
-
When there's fear.
-
But when we change administration and it's not the war
-
on drugs anymore, I can actually go back. Why because
-
my heart wasn't solved of its addiction.
-
I'm in fear now.
-
But once the fear factory is gone, I can go back.
-
This is the problem of a lot of rebellious students.
-
For teenagers right grew up under the law.
-
You don't do this, you don't do that, or else
-
or else.
-
When in college party, why they're no longer under the
-
law and they think, now this is the life that
-
I live.
-
How can they get out from that? Not by having
-
mommy and Daddy helicopter you around.
-
They're always there, which we can It's not through CCTV,
-
but it's true a change of heart, and who can
-
do that?
-
Only God can do that. It's tried and tested.
-
You can never change the heart of your kids. You
-
can never change the heart of your spouse. You can
-
never even change your heart. Only God can do it.
-
Only God can transform you. He rescues us and redeems us,
-
transforms us from the life of pitt, which is a
-
symbol of death, and he says, I crown you with
-
steadfast love and mercy. The word David used in the
-
song was the word crown. I crown you. It might
-
have reminded him of the day of his crowning, when
-
he was crowned king. It was David knew the honor
-
and prestige of being crowned as king. When they gave
-
him the crown. It was a crown of.
-
Power, of position, of glory.
-
They gave that to King. David announce it to the world.
-
He is now king. We've crowned him king, and now
-
David writes in a song, the benefit of a child
-
of God is his crown with what steadfast love and mercy.
-
God is announcing to the world.
-
If you fear me and you are my child, I
-
crown you, not with earthly crown.
-
I crown you with love and mercy. It's different.
-
You are now marked as somebody. When I walk they
-
would see the steadfast love of the Lord. They will
-
see the mercy of God in me. Now, what's the
-
effect in my life knowing I've been crowned with steadfast love.
-
Steadfast means unending, it's faithful love.
-
So if I know I'm.
-
Love, have you seen a person who you know is love?
-
It doesn't matter what people would say.
-
If the person is loved, he doesn't really care.
-
Not that his stoic in his feelings, It's just he
-
doesn't care. Why because my wife tells me that she
-
loves me and that I'm handsome. So I don't care
-
what my members would say as long as my wife
-
thinks I'm handsome and I'm love. Only two women in
-
the world tells me that my mom and my wife
-
my kids.
-
I'm still training them to see.
-
Okay, they don't see it yet, but I believe, by
-
the grace of God God, their eyes will be open
-
from the lives of the enemy so that they would see.
-
Ok how's the feeling If I know Timmy loves me,
-
I don't care what you feel about me. This is
-
the relationship that matters. I'm loved by my wife. Now, ultimately,
-
look at this. If you're loved by God, what do
-
you care about what other.
-
People would say. That's why Christians we.
-
Should not be sensitives on my money.
-
You care why you're ultimately loved by God?
-
What do you care what other people would say? What
-
matters is what God thinks of you and how God
-
sees you. And God is saying, do not forget this,
-
because you tend to forget.
-
And that's what Master Christian was saying.
-
I've crowned you with steadfast love. It's a love that's forever,
-
it will stand the test of time. You will walk
-
with that crown, not only with love.
-
I've crowned you with mercy.
-
Mercy means something you don't deserve it, it's given to you.
-
Mercy.
-
I'm I'll be punished, but because of mercy, I won't
-
be punished.
-
That's mercy, he says. You will walk with the crown
-
of mercy.
-
People would see when they look at us, grab you
-
no mercyful Lord, how can he worship like that in
-
the midst of sin and suffering? Because of the mercies
-
of the Lord, which are new?
-
What every morning? Mercy?
-
Sometimes we pray to the Lord, how do we pray,
-
especially when we say and against God?
-
Lord, take me, Lord, kill me ready. Lord, Could they
-
imagine I did that to you? Lord, I committed this
-
grave sain.
-
Lord, imagine that was your prayer the other night. But
-
the moment you wake up, before you put on your makeup.
-
And as I've been the Lord, and as I been
-
the Lord, I say a little prayer for you.
-
What was the prayer?
-
His mercies are new every morning?
-
What does that mean? Mercies are new every morning?
-
If it's my translation, what God is saying is the
-
prayer he made last night, that pitiful prayer you're praying
-
that I'll take you and all you know what? Forget
-
about that. My mercies are new every morning. Worship grab Lord.
-
This is the benefit of being a child of God.
-
You've crowned me with mercy. I walk with mercy. I'm
-
humble enough to admit I can't do this on my
-
own because I live under the.
-
Mercy of God.
-
And that he says, who satisfies you with good so
-
that your youth is renewed like that what eagles.
-
Maybe he was talking to the older people sixty enough.
-
Maybe he says, I will renew your youth like the eagles.
-
He wasn't saying I'll make your skin young.
-
Let dot Torah.
-
Do that all right, But your energy, your strength, your passion,
-
your vision, I will make it like you're still young.
-
That made Caleb said, I want to conquer more lands.
-
That made some of our senior citizens here in our
-
church still make disciples and mentor next generation to volunteering kids.
-
Why their energy doesn't go down. So when we say
-
there is no retirement in the Kingdom of God, there
-
is a biblical basis Isaiah and Sam one oh three.
-
He will renew us like the eagles. Just is among archers, okay,
-
but he will renew us. There's new energy.
-
There's no such thing as an old age when you're
-
in the Kingdom of God.
-
He was saying, I can still use you. I can
-
still make you prosperous like never before.
-
I can bless your business, I can open new doors.
-
Do not retire. Retirement is for.
-
People who've lost their meaning in life. But I'm renewing
-
you like the eagles. And he says, the Lord works
-
righteousness and justice for all who are what oppressed. And
-
I'll take care of those who are oppressed, those who
-
suffer social injustice, the poor, I will take care of them.
-
That's why it's a church we activate people into helping
-
the poor. We need to bless our city, We need
-
to bless our land. If God prospers Greenhills, Victory, Greenhills,
-
some one must prosper as well. The culture that's inside
-
the church is the culture that should be happening outside
-
of the church.
-
If there's dancing inside the church, there should be dancing
-
in the streets.
-
Because we're now fulfilling the role of the church. He's saying,
-
this is your benefit. There will be social justice. I
-
will take care of those who are oppressed.
-
Verse seven. He said he made known his ways to Moses,
-
his acts to the peace people of Israel.
-
This is the only God in the world, no other god,
-
I can assure you who makes known his ways. This
-
is the only God who's written his heart and gave
-
it to us. All the other religious books are do this,
-
do that, step one, step two, step three, so that
-
you can reach nirvana. This is the only God who says,
-
I would reveal my heart to you who I am,
-
where I'm most vulnerable at I'm opening up my heart
-
to say I'm a jealous God. This is the only
-
God who makes known his ways to his people. And
-
then the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger,
-
and abounding in what steadfast love. Second time he uses
-
the word steadfast, he says, I'm a God who is
-
slow to anger. You know, sometimes we try to relate
-
our feelings to how God would feel.
-
Am I right?
-
There are times we would think if that happened to me,
-
if I'm God, I would do this. But Silda, please
-
do not put yourself at the level of God. We
-
are easily angered. That's why there's so much hate in
-
the world. Because we're not slow to anger. God is
-
slow to anger. Imagine what would talk a month talk forty.
-
Years for Israel.
-
That was how slow God was, And so on the
-
third month, Malto comes forty years.
-
Imagine forty years some.
-
Of you you're here today. Why because God is slow
-
to anger. He's giving you grace. That's how gracious God is.
-
With all the sins that I've committed, I'm still here,
-
could actually still pray, lift up my hands. I still
-
feel the love of God. Why because he's slow to anger.
-
Most of us were fast in judgment. God is slow
-
to anger. Why because he's abounding in love. Again, that's
-
a benefit. The God that I worship is slow to
-
get angry. He doesn't need anger management. He knows when
-
he's going to get angry. He's slow when it comes
-
to getting angry. He abounds in love insteadfast love, magic.
-
Moses and the Israelites rebelling, ungrateful, entitled, sounds like our generation.
-
Like in the midst of miracles, wine wine, wine, wine, wine,
-
wine wine, in the midst of parting the Red Sea.
-
Fear fear, fear, Oh they're coming out there.
-
God was doing everything to tell them I'm taking care
-
of you. He was slow to anger, abounding in love
-
to his people.
-
That's why I don't say. And if you only know
-
my saying that nine has been abused. God knows your say.
-
Don't you think he doesn't know? He knows. But how
-
come you're still alive? Because he's low to anger, he's
-
abounding in love.
-
That's the benefit. Lord, look lured, that's not that. That's
-
not the god of someone with three It's not because
-
he's low to anger. He's patient.
-
Then he says he will not always chid the galit,
-
nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not
-
deal with us according to our what since, nor repay
-
us according to our iniquities.
-
For me.
-
This is the high life. He does not deal with
-
us according to our what. Since eye for an eye,
-
tooth for a tooth, justice somebody does wrong. You know
-
we want what justice, justice lo going justice cost.
-
I'm not saying it's right.
-
I'm just saying we are a generation who wants justice
-
until we commit a sin. And when justice is about
-
to be served to us, what do we ask for?
-
Mercy? Album? Why?
-
Because God says, here's the benefit. I will not repay
-
according to your sins. I won't do what I did
-
to add them with that one sin, I took him
-
out of the garden.
-
No, I'm slow to get angry.
-
I will not repay or deal with you according to
-
your sin. So again, I hope it stops the praying Lord,
-
just get me, Lord, just kill me, Lord, Lord, Lord,
-
Bai Lord.
-
But God won't do it.
-
God is saying, I'm not that you think I'm a
-
sadistic god. I will not pay according to what is
-
according to your sin what. I'm a gracious god. That's
-
my nature. I am the same God who told Peter
-
you need to forgive seventy times seven times. I'm not
-
a god of second chance or third chance or fourth chance.
-
I'm the God of seventy times seven. I will forgive,
-
I'm slow to anger, I'm abounding in love, and i
-
will not repay according to your sin. Because you know
-
the penalty of her sin right death. God is the
-
right to kill us in an instance. But God is saying,
-
I'm not that God, not the God that some of
-
the preachings you here. I'm a God who will not
-
repay your holding to your sin, holding to your iniquity.
-
The is are gone.
-
His great plan of forgiveness and redemption will be paid
-
on the cross. That's why we always preach Jesus here,
-
because that's the central message of the story. All he's
-
saying will be fulfilled after a thousand years when this
-
song was made, when Jesus came and paid for the
-
penalty of her sin. That's why we go back to
-
the cross. That's why laws won't change hearts.
-
It won't. You've tried it at home.
-
You have the strictest of laws, but your child's heart
-
has never changed.
-
Why only God can change hearts.
-
Only if my daughters and my sons would open their
-
eyes and see the grace of God, that they would
-
be transformed, That it would be easier for me, not
-
just my kids, for all of us to actually say sorry, Roy,
-
sorry to me, Sorry now uncle.
-
Only time I could do.
-
That if I've experienced the grace of God. And this
-
is what the song was saying, spread this to the
-
next generation. This is a gracious God. He will not
-
repay according to our sin. And then it says for us,
-
high as the heavens are above the earth, So great
-
is his love for those who fear him.
-
That conditional love of God.
-
There's a condition to those who fear him, there's unconditional love.
-
The people of God, the Church, if we feel God,
-
there would be unconditional love. For great is the love
-
of the Father, as high as the heavens above. What
-
that means is this grace, grace is God's love to
-
the highest level imaginable And even the illustration could it
-
really tell us the magnitude of the grace of God.
-
As high is the heavens above, How high is the heavens?
-
It's unlimited.
-
Even science couldn't even google Earth. Could that reach the
-
highest of the heavens. That's what the Lord is saying.
-
That's my grace, It's the highest level. It's God's love
-
to the highest level, imaginable as an illustration, not as
-
the truth, because the truth is it's unlimited.
-
And then he says, here's how I'll show you how.
-
So hi is my love for you.
-
He goes to the next verse, and it's one of
-
my favorite verse.
-
As far.
-
As the east is from the west, so far does
-
he remove our transgressions from us?
-
Get this truth?
-
As far as the east is from the west. I'll
-
illustrate if I ask Boo en Roy to stand up,
-
don't stand up, to stand up. Imagine I asked them
-
to stand up. Just Metro Manila illustration. Boo, I want
-
you to walk to East Avenue. Just go straight to
-
where the major road leads you. Just go straight, don't
-
go left or right. Go where the major road leads you.
-
East Avenue. You you go West Avenue. We'll have a
-
church plant next week at Fishermoll. Okay you go West Avenue. Okay,
-
East Avenue, West Avenue. Go straight, don't go left, go
-
where the road leads you. You know that Boo and
-
Roy will never meet again. And this is Philippines edition. Okay,
-
Roy would be going to bag your.
-
Bag.
-
You He'll go up north, He'll go he'll go to Russia.
-
He'll go you'll be a missionary. As you walk up.
-
Just going west, Boo goes east, he goes straight east.
-
Where would he end up is Avenue Medical Center? No,
-
that was the direction. Nobody ches far view Tapos and
-
you go there, and you go San Jose Golos. They
-
will never meet. I'm talking about Philippines, not talking about
-
go west Philippines.
-
He and go east. You know.
-
Avenue? Okay, Well see you know, so imagine that's how far.
-
The point was. Where's your sin?
-
How come when we go to God, we always review
-
our sin. When he tells us, I'm abounding in love.
-
My love is high as the heavens above, as far
-
as the east is from the west. Don't review your sin.
-
Ask God to forgive you of your sin. He takes it,
-
and he throws it as far as the east is
-
from the west. So far has see what he uses?
-
The word removed. It's not in you anymore. Don't let
-
it define you. Oh, because I did this, that's why. No,
-
there's now a new direction over your life. Because the
-
more you cry out and cry out and cry out
-
of the pass since that Jesus has been crucified, for.
-
It's actually an insult to the Lord.
-
He says, I've removed where's your sin?
-
Remember the adulter's woman.
-
Everybody was about to stone her. That was a Jesus
-
came wrote something in the sand.
-
Boo, I think that's what he wrote. Boo, I don't
-
know what he wrote. He wrote something. Woman lifts her
-
head up, and Jesus said, where are your accusers?
-
And then what was the Roman? Go and sin no more?
-
What was Jesus saying your past was defined by your
-
adulter's relationship. I've taken away that sin. As far as
-
the ease is from the west, Look, where are your accusers?
-
They're not here?
-
Why because there's still living in their sin and now
-
they're guilty to throw stones.
-
But you go and sin no more. That's my grace.
-
I cannot explain humanly why God is like that. That's
-
why he's a supernatural god. As far as the east
-
is from the west, where is your sin?
-
That's why? Don't live in sin. You're no longer a sinner.
-
You've been saved by grace through faith. Sin doesn't define you.
-
Don't walk in the path of sin. That's no longer
-
who you are if anyone is in Christ Gritian's five seventeen,
-
he's a new creation.
-
The oldest god in the new has come.
-
God is saying, I'm announcing you have a different nature already.
-
In fact, when you sin now, it bothers you because
-
that's no longer who you are. We just celebrated the
-
birthday of one of our leaders, God saved eight years ago.
-
Remembered when we were doing we were talking to him
-
eight years ago.
-
He would always curse getting the Lord. That was his language.
-
Right, he would be in the victory group and he
-
would use curse words too, because that's how emotional he is.
-
Two nights ago we were celebrating. He couldn't even imagine
-
this guy would curse. Who changed him? This guy fought depression,
-
This guy fought suicidal tendencies, lost his business, did not
-
have a good family.
-
How was he transformed?
-
How come when he walks it's as if he has
-
no sin. Why he's been crowned with steadfast love and mercy.
-
See, he's a different man.
-
You see, as Christians, we can live like the sin
-
is still residing in us. God took away our sinful nature.
-
He died on the cross for that, where is your
-
sin even the effects of sin? Oh, if you understand
-
what happened to me, and yes, you can live there
-
if you want to, or you can claim the benefits
-
and say no, God's mercies are new every morning. If
-
I have to declare the truth of God every morning,
-
if I have to recite someone of three every morning
-
to bring sanity and the truth in my life, I
-
would do it. Why because I will not forget his benefits.
-
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the
-
Lord shows compassion to those who fear him, for he
-
knows her fame.
-
He remembers that we are Thus.
-
Another benefit is the compassionate heart of the Father. Why
-
is he compassionate to us? He looks at mankind, he
-
sees our frame frame. We're like us and sabinion. The
-
compassionate Father is saying, man can never save themselves. They can't,
-
They're weak, they're frame. They cannot do this on their own.
-
They need me. I'm compassionate and I'm helping them. And
-
that's the starting point of your walk with Jesus.
-
For you to realize you're not as strong as you are.
-
Don't believe the motivational.
-
Lessons you hear outside that you can do this on
-
your own. You cannot.
-
Don't read the story to your kid about the train
-
going up the hill.
-
I think I can, I think I can. You cannot.
-
You're not a trained You're a train wreck. You cannot.
-
Do not teach them about self sufficiency. They can. They
-
can never be self sufficient. They would always need God.
-
Why we're weak in our frame, But there is a
-
Goddess compassion. It's saying.
-
I'm going to touch my kids. That's why the song
-
when I'm weak, he is what strong? Another song You
-
make me stronger by breaking my heart?
-
Worship song.
-
Yeah, really, it's a worship song.
-
It's derived from some a broken spirit and a contrite heart.
-
That is what I desire.
-
Only when I come to the point of saying I'm weak,
-
I'm broken, Lord NamUs. The phantasies cannot understand this. The unteachable,
-
proud people cannot understand this.
-
Everything I needed, No, you don't have. You're broken.
-
You need fixing and I can't fix you. The Church
-
can't fix you.
-
God. Only God can transform you.
-
And then he says, but the steadfast love of the
-
Lord is from everlasting to everlasting. On those eotherium and
-
his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep His
-
covenant and remember to do his commandments. Third time, the
-
word steadfast food was used. Steadfast means firm in purpose.
-
My love is firm in purpose.
-
I purposely love you, and it's going to be a
-
firm kind of love.
-
It will stand through the test of time.
-
It will stand through all your rebellion, it will stand
-
through all your running away. I will pursue you because
-
it's steadfast love. And you know what, I'm not just
-
pursuing you. I'm pursuing your children's children. Yea, Mama church rebel,
-
that will be one of the worst sinners. What I
-
mean is.
-
Because of the steadfast love of the.
-
Lord, pro Lord Neon, that's the steadfast love of the Lord.
-
They will never go as deep. Why because of the
-
promise of the Lord. That is steadfast love, and do
-
us forever from generation to generation, His righteousness to your
-
children's children.
-
And this is what I believe.
-
As we continue to plant the seeds of the Gospel
-
to our kids, it's not just going to affect the
-
next generation of sea under my line. It will affect
-
my children's children. It will be pass on. They will
-
sing this song. They will say, God is good, God
-
is generous, God is full of grace. It's gonna be
-
the song of my grandkids. And this is going to
-
be the song of your grandkids in the future. This
-
will be a song that you'll be the claring through
-
your line, saying, my God is gracious. Benefits of God's grace,
-
review forgive our sin, heals our diseases, redeems our life
-
from the pit, crowns us with steadfast love and mercy.
-
Number five satisfies us that we feel young again. He
-
works righteousness and justice for the oppress. Number seven He's
-
a God who reveals his heart to his people. He's
-
low to anger, abounding in love, and he does not
-
deal with us according to our sin.
-
It cannot actually be.
-
Up to twelve, he's compassionate, steadfast love of the Lord.
-
Then he ends, Bless the Lord all his works in all.
-
Places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, oh my soul.
