Grace That Changes How You Live Every Day

Welcome. Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose

of inspiring from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pasters and

speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast

finds you in good shape. And now here's your message.

It's really something that I really want to share it

every Thursday, and this is the second Sat Thursday that

we've done it. We've actually started our prayer and worship night.

It was a powerful time to get equipped not only

worship and pray together, but it was a powerful time

to get equipped in how to pray. Last week, Pastor

Edgar actually taught us how to discern the voice of

God and it was a powerful time. And I hope

you know that you are all invited and welcome to

go on our Thursday's worship night. We actually made it

into eight pm so that you could actually get here

in time after dinner, more parking, so that we can

worship together and pray together. So please join our prayer

and worship night every Thursday. I'm done, Thank you Lord,

all right, And so now we get into the world.

We are still in our series called Amazing Grace, and

we talk about the amazing grace. We know that the

author of this grace is none other than our heavenly Father.

It's from God. And so whenever we talk about amazing grace,

and this is not a trick question. And I hope

after two weeks talking about amazing grace, we know this

by now that grace is something we don't deserve. It's

something that we are not working for to get it.

Why because the sinful nature of who we are, we

will never deserve it. But God gives it to us

freely anyway. He extends his love to us, his grace

to save us. And so if I ask you today,

when have you experienced the grace of God in your life?

To you or all of you might say during the

time that I first encounter Jesus. Why because it's the

time that He has brought us from death to life.

It's something that only the grace of God can do

in our lives. But the grace of God does not

end there five weeks we're gonna talk about this and

we are on our third week. Why because the grace

of God is beyond our salvation. It's something that when

we talk about it, it's there's something more an you

Biani as a TV deba. Wait, there's something better, or

there's more to that, and there's more. Grace is a

concept that we can assume that we understand, but the

reality is it's so deep, it's so wide that it

can actually affect our entire lives. Let me illustrate that

to you. I realized this when I was preparing for

this preaching. One of the things that I love doing

is actually go out of town. I love going out

of town. I love going to a place that is

a little bit far from here, regardless if it's traffic,

regardless of the driving. And so I realized that I

love to drive, mail drive. I don't know why. I'm

alma drive. I will drive no matter how far it is.

And the reason why I love to drive now better

is because of this feature in some of you familiar

with this? What is this? It's so not all are

familiar with it. Wife an end gas gauge in the

end gas gauge, that's gasole gauge. No, it's different. It's

a feature of some cars, and it's actually cruise control.

What does it do? You actually set your car at

a certain speed when you're driving one hundred kilometers per hour,

which is that's the maximum. And as believers, we follow

this right Christian tile I. So we set the car

and not not all cars have this. You set the

speed at a certain level when you're running, you turn

it on. For some cars it's below the steering some

it's in the steering wheel. You turn it on and

you take out your feet. It drives at the speed

of one hundred kilometers per hour. It will remain that

way unless you step on the brake. It disengages. Now

there are some features that you press it up, it

speeds up a little. You press it down, it slows down.

And so when you're driving in teeplex and in n

legs and in sc texts, and you're driving at one

hundred kilometers per hour, because that's the prescribed by law,

and we do not over we're Christians, right, emphasis on Christians.

And so what happens is when you drive with cruise control,

if there's a car in front of you that's sneering,

all you have to do is press a little of

the brakes and it slows down, but it disengages you

and now you can turn it back on. Pagan rega.

What did I learn when I tried cruse control. It

actually made me enjoy driving more. Nina as stress. I

remember when I was younger. I want to get ahead,

so overtake the Diana. You know, we have this mindset

of conquering the world men, Pacina being puputambagio and in

If not, then I will take bag you in three

hours three hours and unpacked women and in easept we

will buy pass along the way. Anyway, what am I?

What am I? What's my point? I forgot? Okay, So

cruise control it's something that it's nice to know. The

purpose of it is to actually enjoy the drive. It's

something that you'll enjoy the experience of driving and without it,

after trying it out, you'll look for it. Why am

I saying this? You know, the grace of God in

our work with God is different. Unless we know all

the features, all the aspects of grace, it will be

useless in our lives if we don't know how to

use it and how it applies in our lives, just

like cruise control. And so today we're going to talk

about a different aspect that it's beyond our salvation. It's

beyond what we know about the grace of God and

we're gonna look at Titus chapter two, verse eleven to fourteen.

So if you have your Bible's vide you I won't

flash the text so that we can read together. You

can actually get it through your phones or your hard

copy Bible. So please go to chapter two of Titus

and we're gonna read verse eleven until fourteen. If you're there,

please say, Amen, Lord, thank You that people do not

lie verse eleven, for the grace of God has appeared,

bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce on

godliness and worldly passions and to live self controlled, upright

and godly lives in the present age verse thirteen, waiting

for our blessed hope and the appearing of the glory

of our God and savior Jesus Christ verse fourteen, who

gave him sell for us to redeem us from all

the lawlessness, and to purify for himself a people for

his own possession who are zealous for good works. This

is our word for today. Titus talks about how it

is to live a life through the grace of God.

I mean, Paul talks to Titus about it, and so

when we go through it very carefully, we start with

verse eleven, it says, for the grace of God has appeared,

bringing salvation for all people. We've learned this for the

past two weeks. We know that the grace of God

leads to salvation. It's available for those who receive it. Right,

But today we will focus on verse twelve to fourteen.

It starts with this, for the grace of God has

appeared for salvation. But it's more than that. The Bible

says it trains us. Can you say that in me?

The grace of God trains. The grace of God not

only saves us, but it actually trains us. In other versions,

the grace of God is in the amplified version, they

use the word teach. It teaches us. The grace of God.

What else. In the nalty version it actually says instructs.

It's instructing, It teaches and it trains. How does the

grace of God train us? How does the grace of

God teach us? I think the obvious answer starts with

this with the word of God. Right. You know, our

relationship with God is beyond just praying. I've talked to

a lot of people who are new in the church,

and whenever it would ask him how do you know

if God answers and their answer would be but Gloma

make yes it no. And so the question is, if

signs are the answer to your inquiries to God? How

sure are you if the signs are accurate? Lot of

us might find this funny, but the reality is all

the answers to our prayers is already here. All the

answers to our prayers is already written in this book.

The promises of God, they're here, The warnings of God

are all here. And so what do we realize when

we say the grace of God trains us. Number one,

God's grace allows us to have the Word of God.

Everything that we need is in the Word of God.

The problem is how we treat the Word of God.

I've heard this quote before, Sabinnah. I have no issue

with the truth that is written in this book. I

believe everything in it. The big issue for me is

when you ask me to apply it, is that hard?

Is it really hard to apply what the Word of

God says? I would say yes, it's very hard. Why

because the Bible reminds us that the Word of God

is like a mirror that when you look at it,

it actually shows you what's wrong in your life that

whenever you read scripture, and I believe that the Word

of God is alive and active, whenever you read it,

it will tell you why am I not like this?

It will tell you I'm far from where God wants

me to be. The Grace of God teaches us through

his word. But there is a problem. It's more than

knowing the word. I like the reminder of my good

friend Flint. If you are a nineties kid, I does

have any flint of Jjo. What did he say? Knowing

is half the battle. It's knowing, but it's only half

of it. What's the other half? If you know the truth,

the Bible says, it will set you. What's the other half?

We need to do the word. It's not just knowing

the word, but the Bible tells us we need to

do the word. The reality is we can actually read

the Bible from cover to cover every single year. But

unless we apply what it says, it will never change us.

Unless we do what it says, it will never change us.

I'm going to give you us an example in Titus too.

This is what it says you know in the Instructions

of Titus on how he will teach the church habinah.

Older men are to be sober minded, dignified, self controlled,

sound in faith, in love and its steadfastness. Older women likewise,

has to be reverent in behavior, not slanders or slaves.

It actually talks about the young people to be self

controlled and pure, submissive to their own husbands. For the

ones who are married, the Bible has instructions that are

very difficult to apply and do. A lot of things

needs to be worked on when we talk about the

Word of God. I remember the last training that I

attended care of my last company before I went into

full time was the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

You know that training, right, It's based on a book

by Stephen Covey. It's a very expensive training. The company

decided to hand pick a few people every year, and

I was privileged enough to be part of that. They

actually booked us in Antipolo, in the Lopez Something. Yeah. Anyway,

we were there for a week or for four days.

We actually learned about the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

It was a great seminar. I learned a lot, but

I realized I didn't actually apply what I learned. My

spirits A Barna Jannan may attend seminar, but it was

so good. You know it's gonna help your life, but

you did not apply it. Have you experienced that? And

so I was thinking about it. Why didn't I apply it?

Even though I liked everything, even though I know it's

gonna help me be effective in whatever I do. It

applies in all areas of my life, even in my spirituality.

But I didn't change anything. And it is what I realized.

I didn't change anything because I didn't want to change.

I didn't want to give up the way of life

that I had. I liked it, it was comfortable. I

know how to do my life. Yes, that's effective. But

what I'm doing anyway is good. What I'm doing anyway

is okay, it has results. You know. The reality is,

sometimes the issue is not getting what we need, getting

the instructions the right things to do. The issue is, really,

I'm gonna say it in behalf myself, I'm just stubborn.

We just don't want to change, even though we know

for a fact that everything that is written in this

book will actually make my life better. I just don't

want to change. I want to stick with what I know.

You know, maybe I've said this, and I also hear

this with some people. They say this, I've surrendered my

life to God anyway, isn't that enough? If God saved me,

isn't that enough? Why do I need to surrender everything?

Okay Na, God intervened in my situation. He promises me

a good future and to spend eternity with him. Can

I just live my life on my own? Isn't that enough?

Can I just embrace God for us my savior, but

not as a lord. The problem with this is in

Titus chapter one, it actually gives us a hint of

people who just want God as a savior. We proclaim

God as our savior in nothing more. The Bible says

in Titus one. Such people claim they know God, but

they deny him by the way they live. They're detestable

and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good. We feel like

being saved is enough, but we don't want to apply

the word of God. Some say, if mahlamnacani Lord, why

can't he accept me for who I am? Have you

heard that statement? If God loves me, then he should

accept me for who I am. That's part true, But

you want to know what the half of it is

atpuyon sobra maltainy Lord, that he accepted us for who

we are. That's why the grace of God is God

extending to us right, we don't deserve it. But at

the same time, He loves us too much not to

change us. He loves us too much not to change

who we are. And we have to embrace God as

our Lord and savior. It's both. James Chapter one says,

can we read this together, but be doers of the

word and not hearers only deceiving yourselves. James very strong

with his statement in saying, if you read the word

and not apply it, you are just fooling yourselves. In

Tagalog and Nilo lo umulang am sarilimo, the Bible is

there for us to know the truth and apply the truth.

But there is good news. Doesn't mean that the Bible

is just full of those and don'ts that our life

of Christianity is about rules. There is good news to

pay in good news. The word that is used as

trainer or learner or instructor in the Bible is found

is in the Greek word is by the greeksha. But

p a d p a I d e u oh

pay the greeksha and so what does it mean. It's

more than an instructor. It refers to training that includes

what educating, instructing, disciplining, rebuking, correcting a child under development

through strict training. And there is a purpose that they

do it. It's training a child too mature to realize

it's full development. What am I saying? When God said

God's grace, When the word said God's grace trains us,

it actually walks us through Hindi pusha oh yeah, go

in mulahat and then babaka exact. You know, the God's

grace when it deals with us, it's like dealing with

the kid dahan dahan insuba maturegat elevating you learning. But

training is not just teaching. There is also rebuking. Have

you remembered the nine volts battery? Yes, Marapa bangandon mehrampah. Anyway,

nine votes battery is something that you should experience as

a kid. Have you experienced nine voltes battery personally in

your life? I've experienced it personally, young Hawak Modibata was

the nine votes battery? You can't be complete without doing that.

And so my dad would say no, no, no, no, no.

What did you learn? Electricity is good? You know, the

grace of God trains, it's patient, but there is a purpose.

What is the purpose for us to grow about the

mature tile? You know when we see a baby that

is drooling and crying, acute and saying, oh, get cute,

red piru and twenty. Let's question in your walk with God.

Ever since the time I've experienced God, you consider yourself

growing as a believer the experience being changed by God

on a regular basis. Is He maturing you? Is He

bringing you to that potential or where He wants you

to be? Because the grace of God, when it trains us,

actually changes us as you continue. It says Proverbs three,

verse eleven to twelve, My child, don't reject the Lord's discipline,

and don't be upset when he corrects you. For the

Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects

a child with whom he delights. God corrects us, and

God does something in us. He molds us. The Bible says,

he prunes us. Why I hope you know, because He

loves you, He wants the best for you. And the

last response for us is to feel bad badganon the discipline,

now on the Lord. You know, sometimes you just need

to realize that God wants the best for us. And

so maya town and nine votes battery quantine Alam. Are

we maturing? Is God's grace training us? The purpose of

God's grace dealing with us, training us, instructing us, is

this God wants to transform us. Why does he need

to transform us? You know, in life today we actually

like transformations. Now, we like shows that actually show transformation.

A house that's transformed, a fashion that is transformed. We

like it, we enjoy it. But the reality is God

does not call us to transform the way we look.

The purpose of God in our lives is to transform

what is inside the world. That is inside us needs

to be transformed. You know, the world has so many

books to help us transform the things that we are

known to do. We can actually transform it. Change it.

In the Internet how to stop smoking in three steps.

I tried it. Some of you know this. I used

to smoke. I've stopped last week. Then jog I used

to smoke for years. I couldn't get out of it.

I tried all the help self help tips in the internet.

Ten ways to quit smoking. There's this study that says

you just need to change the habit. So if you're smoking,

change it with something else. So I did. I started coffee,

and so I realized coffee is best with cigarettes. And

so what happens addiction go. But you know what I mean?

When God revealed one truth in my life, and this

was the truth that I realized that my body is

the temp of the Holy Spirit. Sov God, Lord, come

det oh suck. I wanted to change. I tried everything.

I tried, getting rid of the cigarettes, throwing it away,

and then going back to it and just straightening it out.

I've tried everything to quit because I know it's bad.

But when I realized that God wants me to live

a healthy life. He has given me this body to

take care of, I realized one more thing. I couldn't

do it on my own. And so when I surrender it,

and when the Lord, when God revealed to me his word,

I began to surrender it and say, Lord, I can't

do it on my own. Take this vice away from me,

Take it away. One of the best experiences of my

life was this story, because the next day I prayed

when I woke up coughing hard, very hard. I thought

I was gonna die when I was I didn't when

I woke up to the wolf. But after a day

of coughing, I didn't know what to do. You know

what happened the next day? I woke up as if

I've never smoked, as if there was no craving. Well,

I'm cold turkey, cold cheecken, cold cat. It was freedom

from addiction. Why? Because I knew it was only through him.

You know, when God transforms us, it's long lasting. But

if it's when, if it's about our efforts, what happens

we fail Kiaganuzi Lord in Gristnia is part of our lives.

Why because on our own the reality is think about it.

We can't actually do it. We can't only through the

grace of God. Why does God to transform us? The

word is sictification. Do you know have you heard of

the word sanctification? Sanctification means this the state of proper function.

What does that mean? God is actually bringing us back

to the original design. When God transforms us to His

image and likeness. When God changes us to His design,

what does that mean? We're actually not learning something new?

What it means is we were actually designed by God

this way. The other definition of sanctification is this, to

sanctify someone is to set that person apart for the

use intended by its designer. And that's why a lot

of people are trying to find their purpose in life,

trying to find pursuits in money, in career. But at

the end of it all, what happens, they say parent

in Deeper in Italy. Why am I not happy? Why

am I not fulfilled? Why? Because only the purpose us

from our creator will give us life. And so sanctification

actually allows us to go back to the design of

God being abil title original. Another definition of sanctification is

to sanctify means to make holy because God is holy.

Turn to the person to your right, do they look holy? Yes? Why?

Because God is doing his work in us. He's sanctifying us,

He is changing us. Santiification means titles to As we

continue our verse, it says renouncing ungodliness and worldly passions.

Sanctification means whenever we read the Bible, we see what's

wrong with us. It tells us what we should stop doing.

I like that. Paul actually emphasized the second one, renounce ungodliness.

We know this. We want to be good, right Latile.

I think all of us in this room want to

be good. But the reality is pero digma go it's

so hard. In our efforts, we always go back to

our sinful nature. But there's this sin that is different.

He says, renownce and godless, or turn your back from it.

But there's also that worldly passions, the things that we

like to do that are unseen by everyone. We're not

proud of it, worldly passions. And so to be sanctified

is to know the truth. When we know the truth,

what we do we repent. We turn our backs away

from sin elen degrees and turn an three sixty parapabelic

parents a sin no one. And so we walk our

life of faith to the truth. We go back to God.

Another thing that God has sanctified in my life. And

I'm not boasting because I did it, because only God

can do it. Man, I used to curse a lot,

so brah as in every statement too, I stood it

with and then ended too. Remember he said, the occasion alanto,

every occasion I tapos hum cursingko nega evolved, fighting pang

maasa depends. I've learned all of it but the ung

ibang language from bag your curse to say what I

as a believer when I got saved at the poy

of mindset expression laga man ni doesn't mean anything. To

say a curse is just an experience, just sounds nicer.

That's what I said. I was convincing myself. But when

somebody called it out and said, you know, I wish

it was just a a expression. But the reality is

the power of the world. There is power in our words,

in our tongue that when we say a curse, it

actually hurts people regardless something well and among mo get Lord,

I hope nobody's cursing me now. And so I realized

this that there is power in your tongue that when

you speak life, something good happens, but when you speak death,

it actually is a curse as curses. When I was

growing up and it affected my life and I thought

it was nothing, somebody told me bo bo bo, and

it actually got stuck in my head. I know the

power of words, so I have to renounce it. I

have to cut it out from my life. Why because

I am created in the image of God. You know,

I hope you know that my cursing stop, not because

I could, but it was just changed and changed by

God and changed by God. I really don't know how

I stopped. I don't even remember the experience of stopping.

It just did. God changes us through his word. He

transforms us to a new person. He transforms us into

someone who is like him. Why because people will notice

your change. For some believers, they're radically changed. People are

actually weirded out. See next thing, Save God s nashah

saat that God bless lam, No, God bless you didn't

know a radical change or transformation. Sanctification only comes from God.

And I like what it says. It says not only

does the grace of God teach us not what to do,

it actually teaches us what to do. It's complete nipushayong

baowel yan bawa. Yet it actually tells us that we

need to live our lives with self control, with being upright,

with godly lives. And the most important part of it

is this that it actually allows us to live it today.

It's not just us being saved and then Kikita in

ants the Lord in heaven in the future. It's our

life today. We are being changed today. It's hard, but

it is possible only through the Lord. Can you share

your story about Ac Green? Ac Green was part of

the Los Angeles Lakers during the era of the Show Time.

They were one of the best teams, starting FI PUSHA

with Byron Scott, James Worthy, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar

and him. He's actually known if you google him for

two things. Number One, he's called the iron Man of

the NBA only because he played one one hundred ninety

two games straight in his career. Sabain weelaan patid and Philosophia.

If my mom and dad actually went to work every day,

I should be doing that every day. He was an

excellent rebounder. He actually was a different person when he

was on court. He played one thousand, two hundred seventy

eight games of one thousand, two hundred eighty one, missing

only three games in his career because he got injured.

He's called the iron Man. One of the things that's

important to know about Acy Green he was actually a believer.

He was a Christian And I'm not telling his stories

about breaking records. I'm going to tell you a different

kind of story. And I found this article on the internet.

They called him the Iron Virgin, the Iron Virgin. Why

you know, excuse me, Ac Green when he was drafted

by I think Jerry West, I'm not sure the team

manager during that time. He knew it was going to

be a problem. He was a believer and the Showtime

team during that time, Magic Johnson was one of the

most I don't know how to describe it, but they

were really partying every night with half naked or if

not naked women in front of them. It was If

you research about it, you'll be surprised on how grabil

and telegra of how immoral and what they did in

house parties. And so Magic Johnson when he learned about

his new teammate Ac Greens having ah, what, you're still

a verb? He was so, he was, so, what's the

word in the gala? Parent? It's impossible you're a basketball star? Now,

that's impossible women would go to you. And so at

the points in Abne Magic Johnson, once you start seeing

these girls around NBA, you won't be thinking of that

Christian and god stuff, savage, Magic john impossive, Lord wont

so this is what he did. Will give you two

months and I'm sure you will be done. So Sabina

too much, slam be big. What did he say that's

impossible that you don't give in basketball cups, Magic Johnson

in the story Sabina, We're gonna bet players three hundred

dollars la if you enjoy the two months, that three

hundred dollars is yours. So saving eighty green. Oh, so

one week has passed, she pre pagnasa road. I know

it's They would send women to his room. So you

know what he would do in a savage article, he

would pray, loud, Lord, I thank you for you protect me,

you protect my eyes and the namog so shame pretty

young papa. He would do that every night. They would

tell him manyloalo. They would go out and they would

tell him, easy, let's go out, let's party. He would

always say this, I won't join, but I will pray

for you. They were he was so different. He lived

a different life from his teammates. And so one day,

almost at the two months, they send women in a

moment that in but you know what a he did

and what's his what's his? God? Thank you, Yes, Joseph,

he fleed to macbuere. Lord, you know, you know for

Magic Johnson it was an impossible Sinaris, haven't you It's impossible,

nobody could do that. But you know what happened two

months past. This was his rookie career, years past, actually

decades past, a decade past. He actually retired in two

thousand and one as the thirty eight year old virgin.

He's never married. He stayed, you were in holy and

when they would ask him, weren't you tempted? Sabina, of

course I was. I was, but the grace of God

allows me to get away from temptation. Quoted the Bible

scripture that God will not give us any child that

we cannot get out of. You know, after he retired,

right after a few months, he got married, and he's

no longer a virgin anymore, ac Green, But you know

his life did not stop there. He actually continued at foundation,

the ac Green Foundation, where they're there to help kids

and the youth to abstain the life of abstinence, and

he teaches leadership and program developments for the youth. It's impossible,

a lot of players said, but you know, even in

our situation, I think it is impossible when it's about

our efforts, but when we know that God's grace is

with us in everything that he's doing in our lives,

the things that he is changing in our lives. It

is possible with disgrace. So what do we learn from

the story of ac Green. God's grace empowers us. Not

only does he tell us what to do from his word,

not only does he give us the strength to do it,

he actually gives us the Holy Spirit to live it out.

We have all that we need, we allow God's grace

to move in our impossible situations. We start by declaring,

and this is important. We can actually start to be

empowered by the grace of God when we start not saying.

It starts with the words that we declare. I've said

that before, Iago, bagaham gand on a boygo. But I

hope you know that's a lie, because the grace of

God not only trains us, it empowers us to a

godly life. Chapter two, verse thirteen, it says, waiting for

our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory for our

great God and Savior Jesus Christ. That the sanctification in

the transformation of God in our lives has a purpose

wife because we are waiting for that blessed hope. What

is that, blessed hope. It's the time that we will

face Jesus once again. And not only are we prepared.

Imagine if you're meeting the most important person in a

few months, will you prepare for it? We would. And

so until that the time that we meet Jesus face

to face, the Holy Spirit empowers us, transforms us, sanctifies us.

It's actually preparing us. But there's good news. God designed

us to be transformed and to live life here on

earth with this in mind. The Bible says, your will

be done on earth as it is in heaven. God's

grace is upon us today. It transforms us so that

we can live our lives as if we are in

heaven already. That's the major difference of people who believe

in God. So the question is do people in your

life see that in you? Nika seen a sanctify tiny lord,

Nik and Elena, we are being changed. The more important

question is do you actually see that God is transforming you?

Are you allowing him to transform you? Are you allowing

him to change you to his design? Are you allowing

the will of God to move in your life? Last verse,

it says who gave himself for us to redeem us

from all the lawlessness. The lawlessness is something that is detestable,

that the things that we that we don't like, and

to purify for himself a people of his own possession

who are zealous for good works? What does that mean?

This is the cost of our transformation and sanctification. That

Jesus actually died for us so that we can be transformed.

He paid a high price to change us, to mold us,

to allow us to be changed and transformed. He purifies us.

And it says for us to be zealous for good works.

What is zelus meaning? It's mean it means we are

passionate about doing good. I'm going to end with this story.

There is this new church member, a lady who actually

wanted to volunteer and I hope you guys do voluntari.

So she wanted to volunteer in the new church that

she belongs to. And so the leader that actually was

interviewing her, a guy and a girl, asked her this question, Sabina,

were you a sinner before you received the Lord Jesus

into your life? Singer Raba receives Lord, and of course

the answer is yes. Sabina yes, but there's a follow

up question, Sabina. Noel posts Sabina, well, are you still

a singer today? For those who would like to volunteer?

Are you a sinner before you meet Christ? Yes? Does

un follow up question do you still consider yourself as

still a sinner today? Yeah? Alongsa good, very good, Haabila

Yes and Soga bin Al. There's another follow up question, Sanya,

then what real change have you experienced? That's a difficult

question to answer, and what real change have you really experienced?

So Montree question at all? And this is what she said. Well,

I don't quite know how to explain it, she said,

except I used to be a sinner. Let me say

it again. I used to be a sinner running after sin,

But now that I'm saved, I'm a sinner running away

from sin. I hope you know that with God sanctifies us,

it's a lifelong journey. It doesn't end. It's not a

purple book that you go through, but it's alivee with

the Lord that eventually we will still unearth things that

we do not like about ourselves. We will unearth things

that we are still sinning about. But God's sanctification in

our lives allows us to change the direction before we

used to like this sin, We embrace it, we do it.

But now as we are saying, just like the lady said,

what did she say? Now, I'm running away from sin

a life that is transformed by God. Where are you today?

Where's your heart today? Are you allowing God and his

grace to move in your life to be transformed? Good news?

Natan volunteer. So if I ask you later God, well,

I used to annoy going to end with this statement.

One statement. This is so profound. I didn't know how

to say it. But the reality is this, and I

hope you take ownership with this statement. God is not

yet done with us. God is not yet done with me,

and God is not yet done with you. Thank God.

He's not giving up on us. Thank God, he wants

to still transform us and sanctify us. Amen. Can you

declare that, allow God to remind you that He's not

done with you. Can you say that in a very

personal way? Can you say it, God is not yet

done with me? Thank you God that you are a

God who hears our prayers and knows where we are.

Can ask everyone to close their eyes as we take

this time to wait on the Lord as he speaks

to us. Lord, point areas in our life that you

want to fix or thank you that you're a patient God.

You don't just do all the work now, but you're

willing to journey with us. Lord. If there's one thing

that is that you want me to surrender today that

you want to change to transform, Lord, speak to me,

Holy spirits, speak to each and everyone in this room

on what that is that one thing that you want

to transform, That one thing that you're still sanctifying, you're purifying,

that one thing that you want to take out and change,

that one thing that you're bringing back to design. Speak

to my brothers and sisters today about this one thing.

Thank you, Lord, you're a faithful God. Be declared that

you'll do your work in our lives. Today. I want

to pray for a last group of people that it

seems your heart is there. You want to change, and

you want God to do your work, to do his

work in your life. You want to be transformed. But

the only thing that's stopping you is that you can't

seem to pick up that Bible. For some reason, just

reading one word will distract you and you want to

go back to what you're doing. If that's you, I

want to pray for grace to know God through reading

the Word. Lord, you see my brothers and sisters who

are raising their hands. Thank you Lord that the grace

of getting to know You, of seeking You even comes

from me. Thank you, Lord, God, that you will give

us your spirit, that when we open the Word, Lord,

it will be a personal letter to us, as if

you are speaking to us. Thank you, Lord God, that

it's something that only that we will enjoy, but it

will change our lives. Lord God, or thank you that

your spirit is upon my brothers and sisters today in Jesus.

How many of you are excited about God doing his

work in your life? Can we give God praise? Lord,

Thank you that you are God who speaks Your God

who gives us your word through the Bible. And Lord,

thank you that your word is alive, that it changes,

it transforms, It gives us that breakthrough that we've been

waiting for. So Lord, thank you that you are faithful.

God will move in our mins. Lord. We want to

embrace that grace that you are allowing us to live in.

Thank you, Lord, We praise you, Lord, bless your people

this week allow them to experience you like never before.

Allow them to be transformed by your word. In Jesus' name,

and everybody with God's people say amen and Amen. See

you next week. God bless you. Thank you for listening.
