  6. You're listening to a podcast from Victory. Worldly passions cause

  7. us to hate God and hurt one another. We must

  8. guard against them, discover more about this truth. In week

  9. five of our series, Gospel demonstrated.

  10. Anyway, we're now on the fifth leg of our series

  11. and the polling series. But then Gospel demonstrated, you know,

  12. there's a theme in the Book of James. If you

  13. if you look at the books of James, he talks

  14. about empty words that should be translated into action. He's

  15. talking about the thing that the tongue should be named

  16. the town. The tongue is like a rather the sheep.

  17. He's telling us. That's saying to us, as there's a

  18. theme in what is writing. And so if you will

  19. summarize this, this is just saying to us that you

  20. have not to have just a profession of your faith

  21. or you pung declaration of your faith, but you have

  22. the possession of your faith.

  23. You may it was, and tonight we will be talking

  24. about the enemy of God, which is worldliness.

  25. And so to encourage you, like to read verse in

  26. James chapter one, Verse one, verse four, It says, here

  27. for your encouragement, you adult as people, do you know that.

  28. Friendship with the world is enmity with God.

  29. Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world

  30. makes himself an enemy of God. Can you bow down

  31. your head and close your eyes Heaven? If this afternoon, Lord,

  32. we pray that your holy spirit will annoint us. Father God, Lord,

  33. that know nothing of the things that will I say

  34. will come from me, but it will be words that

  35. will be coming.

  36. From your heart, Lord, directly to your people.

  37. Father Lord, May there's words become so powerful that it

  38. will move them into action that it will cost change

  39. in their lives.

  40. Thank you God in Jesus name.

  41. Amen, Now Malijuana, friendliness with the world is enmity or

  42. or you're you're you're gonna be going against God.

  43. You see friends.

  44. Marque not pep either.

  45. Or in the same manner.

  46. You cannot be a friend of God and you cannot

  47. be a friend of the world. In fact match of

  48. chapter twelve, Jesus Christ speaking himself says, whoever is not

  49. with me is against me, and whoever does not gather

  50. with me scatters malijan and pull. If you're not for God,

  51. God is taking is assuming that you are against him. Now,

  52. for the last four weeks we've been discussing about the

  53. marks of a real Christian where Gospel is demonstrated to you.

  54. We're gonna do something different. We're gonna break away from that.

  55. We will now see the other side and put you

  56. on the other side, the other side that will describe

  57. who is a.

  58. Friend of the world or who will worthly.

  59. And so this afternoon, what I'd like to discuss to

  60. you is the evidence of the result of and the

  61. solution to worldliness. The evidence of worldliness, the result of worldness,

  62. and the solution to worldliness. The first evidence that we

  63. can come up with as we read this verse is

  64. the evidence of greed sabip Bible. What causes quarrels and

  65. what causes fights among you? Is it not this that

  66. your passions are at war within you? You desire and

  67. do not have, so you murder you Covett and Kenna obtained.

  68. So you fight and quarrel you do not have because

  69. you do not ask now. Prior to coming to ministry,

  70. I work for the Supreme Court as a supervisor for

  71. the Province of for Philippine med Jason Center.

  72. And to my surprise, I realized.

  73. The strangers ia orana or macapamilia, and so I was

  74. thinking about that. But Kaya manzilla began or manzilla worst makaapa.

  75. Then I realized, and God told me, you know, because

  76. people who matters you the most will hurt you the most.

  77. You understand who's in the important you know, Malala, And.

  78. Let me give you an illustration. Coming up to here.

  79. And way past the guards, sabinon guards, I'm doing in offense,

  80. pero it will pass my ear in fact, because it

  81. does not matter to me because we do not have

  82. a relationship, pera Humirayan tan no comes Ryan bro. I'm

  83. but doing my off I I brought with me my

  84. best so it matters to me. But because his reactions

  85. mattered to me inside manner taupo na. Because whatever you

  86. say to some one that loves you, whatever you comment

  87. to someone that matters to you, hurts or builds up

  88. massa oh ma incarriage musha. Now what's the cause of

  89. the problem. The cause of the problem is greed. Why greed,

  90. sabipu no Bible? Why do you fight? You fight and

  91. quarrel because you do not get what you want? Nineteen

  92. Then I'm calling now wisdom. Just know now think about this.

  93. James is an expert of relationship. You know why because

  94. he's the brother of Jesus Christ. Now think about this.

  95. Why it's because you want something and I want something

  96. and we're totally opposite with what we want, or we

  97. want the same thing and only one of us can

  98. have it. Let me illustrate it to you.

  99. Behind you public indeed a lang.

  100. If you will be honest enough, just I'm sure within

  101. the week normally coming in a musico marin mean renovating

  102. a bathroom lavatory nine So indiko and I'm come back

  103. now off.

  104. And I'm come back now offense.

  105. Like you too big done.

  106. Nineteen is because she.

  107. Has her own preference and I have my own preference,

  108. and that starts the vibe. Now it's because it's opposite

  109. to what we want. The second illustration is this because

  110. you want the same thing that each other one, but

  111. can only have what one can only have it whom

  112. you are singing here in the room, pack okay whom

  113. you are singing in in the room. Yeah, all right,

  114. praise the Lord, Okay, man getting too Alima singer is

  115. a par Christian. PA attend is a Bigtory Green Niels.

  117. young you announcement and Pastor, can you turn to the

  118. person beside you and smile? L boom and Sandy? Now

  119. it's so happened in adulter, Pastor? Now what will happen

  120. to the person that does not get to be the

  121. husband of the girl that they both like? Normally that

  122. the person will be heard? And Indian victory Green Neilson

  123. my laplos dio maraing do all right. So what I'm

  124. trying to say is this, that's the reason why you fight.

  125. It's greed because you.

  126. Wanted your way and you want things to be yours alone.

  127. Now what's the result of greed? Homicide? Homicide?

  128. The difference between homicide and murder is intention. Explain you murder,

  129. You murder your homicide in the intention siguru accident or

  130. in the process of you trying to assert what you want?

  131. Homicide homicide? You see, that was a.

  132. Angsunya sahaaga that that comes and what would be your

  133. most most likely comment to each other? And Mama escal.

  134. Is mo pang chi mayama am.

  135. So pina self hindi so pina. Worst is pinamo pat

  136. believe that magaga pattiput. And that's murder, my friends, to

  137. your marriage. What will it cost your marriage? Thai, that's

  138. killing your marriage right there. And greed will cost you

  139. to commit homicide? Now what's that? What's the solution? At

  140. the solution tab Bible you desire and do not have.

  141. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel.

  142. You do not have because you.

  143. Do not ask.

  144. Now it continued, sabipito, you do not ask a solution

  145. generosity sab Bible part you ask and do not receive

  146. because you ask wrongly to spend it on your own passion. Friends,

  147. why did they say that the solution to greed that

  148. kills is generosity among your fathers in the room. Fathers

  149. in the room, okay'm cigarette casino, Okay the gar casino

  150. naga sabotoo generus no bia And you know why because

  151. that's money that is not earned. And on the other hand,

  152. prap and more and here you know no you in

  153. Prince Price Iau double cheeseburger said Mara parent. Now you

  154. do not ask. You do not have because you do

  155. not have.

  156. You you do not have because you do not ask.

  157. What is that telling you? Your generosity will not come

  158. from what you work for. Your generosity will come from

  159. a source that will never end, will come from a

  160. source that is able and will come from as all,

  161. a source that is willing. You see, friends, you understand

  162. and in the process, did you know that if you

  163. are a blessing, you are most likely blessed?

  164. Friends.

  165. It's a mindset problem because you think you're the source.

  166. But the source of everything that we have, the source

  167. of everything that we need, and the source of everything

  168. that will give comfort and.

  169. Joy to people is God. Think about it.

  170. That chair used to be what that chair used to be,

  171. used to be a tree, Your clothes used to be

  172. what may be a plant or anything that comes from

  173. an animal. Everything that you have came from what God created.

  174. Nothing in this earth is a product of what you

  175. did alone.

  176. N Now, if we're gonna think about it and pin respond,

  177. you miss move magatas in band amagawey Ai. Because of money,

  178. you understand, because that will give the wrong impression not

  179. only to the world, but that is giving God.

  180. The highest degree of this honor.

  181. Because as a Christians, all of us should leave by

  182. the understanding that what you have comes from God, and

  183. He is the source of everything that you will have.

  184. In the future.

  185. And that will empower you to what to give, because God,

  186. God blesses a cheerful giver. Nine And so your greed

  187. can be solved by what our greed can be solved

  188. by nothing but generosity. Changing the mindset that everything that

  189. we have comes from God himself. Now ebidence, that is

  190. some world in the title. The next evidence is pride

  191. And as a Bible, come now you who say today

  192. or tomorrow we will go into such such a town

  193. and spend a year there and trade and trade and

  194. make a profit. Yet you know you do not know

  195. what tomorrow will bring. What is it for your life?

  196. For you are a miss that appears for a little

  197. time then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, if the

  198. lords will, we will live and do this or that.

  199. As it is you both in your arrogance, all boastings

  200. is evil.

  201. Let me be clear to you.

  202. And the pu bang aye you put adding panin on

  203. what does God despise? God does not despise planning. In fact,

  204. God is a god of order, because if what's that,

  205. what's what's the evidence that God is a god of order?

  206. You are?

  207. You are an evidence that God is a God of order.

  208. Is public dad.

  209. Time lad putting? Then you put on order naturally. If

  210. there is order, there is a plan. Now.

  211. In fact, in the Book of Matthew, Jesus Christ himself

  212. says that whenever you're building, you're referring to the man

  213. who builds a tower.

  214. And you do not plan the cause, then then you

  215. were a fool.

  216. So James could not have been contradicting what Jesus Christ

  217. already said. But his point is this, because of your plan,

  218. you think that success is entirely because of what you do.

  219. And that's what you call arrogance. Kayabang and okay may

  220. pride signs pride number one. There is no small things

  221. for you. Everything is big pride a restaurant, patti mala

  222. and loginning, sag tooth, pick, lamp, permit, my lacking bag.

  223. Guy napalil it dad.

  226. of a proud person is this and opu my abag.

  227. You always find fault in others, but never in yourself.

  228. The way I speak today.

  229. Happy that was a singular plural in then don't put

  231. Put a worship service. So what I'm trying to look namata.

  232. So now think think about that, you're always what if

  233. you're you're full of pride and marcano la criticized, bay

  243. what's the result the pride and the result and pride

  245. Let's look at the Bible. Yet you do not know

  246. what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you

  247. are just what a missed.

  248. Ah that banishes You're dying lam. Now think about this.

  249. Let me just challenge you.

  250. You know, when you're a prideval, you tend to do

  251. everything big black and big black and big black.

  252. Suicide, samos.

  253. Not you know what I'm trying to say to you.

  254. By guy, there will come to a point there where

  255. you will explode because no one living person and that

  256. person will only be what who Jesus Christ himself, God

  257. himself peruhind Eco now and suicide and upon solution and

  258. solution a humility and upullung humility. Humility is an acknowledgement

  259. that you need someone. Humility is an acknowledgement that you

  260. cannot be successful without somebody. Humility is acknowledging that everything

  261. that's happening to you is by God's grace. By ball instead,

  262. you ought to say, if the Lord's will, we will leave,

  263. do this or do that. In Taupumpey, humility is always

  264. thinking about what God thinks.

  265. It's always thinking about what God wants.

  266. In Tapue, humility is always thinking about what God wants

  267. and plans because he knows that without God he won't

  268. be successful. And the pongs have been one by all

  269. many the plans of man, but only God's plan will succeed.

  270. Kaya he is submitted to that. Thank God Salam.

  271. You know ten years, ten years ago, I didn't say

  272. we will plan the church this, that, that, that, that,

  273. and I will and I will put all in all

  274. churches my life, life sized sposure of myself. I did

  275. not say that because that was not my plan, because

  276. that was not my ambition. But I submitted to the

  277. will of God. And what does it do for me?

  278. Now? You know what, ten years from now you will

  279. still remember me to original.

  280. Why because I'm submitting to the plan of God.

  281. You understand.

  282. Behind basay is a plan.

  283. You understand.

  284. One of the things that I remember in ministry is

  285. one of the pastors in Victory says to me bro

  286. Alamo and Masu and plan.

  287. Their complan.

  288. It will be beyond your expectation, more than what you

  289. can think and imagine.

  290. And we are leaving the esteemonin that.

  291. And greatest regret was I it's not answering God's goal

  292. earlier than I should have. Not all of us will

  293. become pastors, but each and every one of us will

  294. be called for a purpose of God.

  295. And if you are in the purpose of God, and.

  296. You know, you will never be prideful because everything that

  297. you do will be dependent on the things that he

  298. does for you. You understand now finally, and is about

  299. na marka.

  300. World social injustice? Mad you, I said the long word. Uh,

  320. know what prejudice and results to prejudice and results to

  321. a mass murder. Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, prejudice and results

  322. to mass murder, Babe, mass murder, Bible ball, Let's let's

  323. look at the Bible. By ball, you have condemned and

  324. murdered the righteous people person. He does not resist you.

  325. You know what when you are prejudiced to someone, a

  326. people group, when you prejudice a social class, mula serna,

  327. let me tell you and make it clear to you, Alt,

  328. you're a middle you're a middle income person, and I echo,

  329. young matasta social class.

  330. The people that you want to be with does not

  331. like you, and the people that wants to be with you,

  332. you don't like them.

  333. You put on social injustice nine for you to better

  334. understand a. Let me pu gerra something that now more

  335. than one hundred years now, our most brothers downstairs and bang.

  336. No one will answer you because no one knows. But

  337. I bet you it could be social injustice. But to

  338. the simplest form alem you put your macap it buying

  339. a Muslim man.

  340. That indeed it looked a BOUNDARYO. Indeed, are you back it?

  341. Because social injustice produces what mass murdering, you know, entirely

  342. murder a group of people that you don't want to

  343. be connected with Indian an Nanga social injustice church community

  344. that the solution to social injustice is church community. Did

  345. you not notice whenever you came here in church, whether

  346. it's victory, Greenills victory or Tias victory for it the

  347. answers is that tell you how old are you? What

  348. social cast do you?

  349. Are you poor?

  350. Are you middle income? Do you do you prepare English

  351. or the galog service? Nobody asks you whatever you wear

  352. coming to church.

  353. Nobody tells you you're not supposed to be where that

  354. in church?

  355. You know why because in church everyone becomes equal. Why

  356. because God looks at.

  357. Everyone equally with favor and love. Think about this.

  358. In the Book of Acts, the Bible says they were there,

  359. there were many added to their numbers that day, and Bible,

  360. no one is in need. You know why, because the

  361. early Christians are crazy about God. The early Christians are

  362. really on fire about God. In early early times, medical

  363. science as advance as we have today. Plague TV, people

  364. run out of the city.

  365. They scattered to the countryside that to heal to minister.

  366. You know why because they are not afraid of death.

  367. Because they saw Jesus rise rose to life. They saw

  368. Peter lay hands and people get healed and rose back

  369. to pink of hell because their faith is demonstrated.

  370. Gun.

  371. Now, as I close tonight, I just want to say

  372. to all of these things, anno result and greed and

  373. pride and social indances, there can only be one result.

  374. If you are you are for for the world, a

  375. friend of the world, the result is nothing but death

  376. and death.

  377. You see Marin pong instantaneously. But most people are dying

  378. every day without knowing, without you knowing. Turn to the

  379. person beside you. Every one of us is dying. Right,

  380. You're one less day to day than you were yesterday.

  397. In contrast, and I'll end with this Anon a man

  399. what happens to you? There is life that is breathed

  400. into you kat and born again. Your reward is eternal life.

  401. But that eternal life starts here on earth. Banion simply

  402. poisons James. Read the Bible, meditate on the message of

  403. the Bible, pray and do what it says. Because if

  404. you will do what it says, you will be blessed.

  405. And if you will be blessed, the people around you

  406. will be blessed. And when the people around you will

  407. be blessed, all the rest that are watching us from

  408. the out from the far wide places would want to

  409. be like us. That's influence in the life mode of

  410. of Moses.
