  10. God richly loves you.

  11. Welcome to the logo streamer are with God savant Reverend

  12. Doctor Joseph Being, head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.

  13. And now to today's message.

  14. Go to a one ver's a before we take our sis,

  15. let's go let's spoke of the law shall or depart

  16. out of my mouth, that I shall meditate in it.

  17. To day right that I may observe to do according

  18. to all that is written in it.

  19. Or then I will make.

  20. My way prospers, and then I am half of success

  21. a man. God bless you, Oh only welcome to the

  22. presence of God. And we will continue with our discourses

  23. on how we can bring order to our conversation.

  24. Amen, what we've been trying to do. Get a diagnosis

  25. of our problem if we even admit or confess that

  26. there is a problem with our conversations. Because admittedly, if

  27. you don't see any problem with the way you talk,

  28. the way you communicate, with your conversations with other people,

  29. then there's only be a problem taking the even like

  30. the pills or the bitter pills or remedies that are

  31. needed to fix us. So we are asking us so

  32. the first thing that we say, you should be you're

  33. and is there anything wrong with my life?

  34. Is there anything wrong with my conversation the way I talk? Amen?

  35. The best person is God. Amen. Is sometimes the problem

  36. is that.

  37. When we're anytime that we men, we start doing it

  38. to help and sometimes too. I mean God speaks to us, Yes,

  39. through the authority of the script, but he speaks to us.

  40. God can communicate to us. Do any means we said,

  41. the Holy Word is there?

  42. The Holy Spirit is the deep impressions of the heart,

  43. spirit feel. Counselors commonly say providence, God can speak.

  44. But the problem sometimes we have is that when men.

  45. Come, oh you are judging me, Go and remove the

  46. plank in your eyes. Just say said it, because when

  47. we look at each other, we find out that when.

  48. We were all like James said, he said, none of us.

  49. It's perfect.

  50. So we find the situation where everybody says that my

  51. friends stay in your corner. Okay, no problem me, I'm

  52. staying my corner. I don't have a problem by you

  53. that you say you are also staying in your corner.

  54. Can you approach God that one?

  55. We will not do it because immediately you start approaching God,

  56. you don't find it difficult crime when people rebuke it,

  57. because you now understand that God could use or would use,

  58. and that spirit feel counselss to speak into your life.

  59. So when somebody says that, oh, your lung wag and

  60. your conversation are not nice, you.

  61. Will take it in good faith. After we need to

  62. fix it. Amen.

  63. So people come to church and say it's oh, no,

  64. I've set the sinner's prayer. I'm fine, stay in your corner.

  65. God says, don't judge anybody. Go and remove the plank

  66. in your eyes before you come and so, and immediately

  67. you do that, then we are cutting.

  68. Ourselves off the grace. The grace remed is that are

  69. needed to fix us. Amen.

  70. So we can't help each other iron sharpnets. Everybody is

  71. supposed to stay in his corner. But the thing, it

  72. doesn't work that way. God uses man to correct us,

  73. to speak to us, to chastise us. So we find

  74. a situation where now the church the fastest, a lot

  75. of pastes can review me. I review I correct because

  76. I draw my authority from the world, and I'm afraid

  77. not to say what God wants me to see.

  78. Amen, A hallelujah. I know I must admit it now.

  79. Sometimes when I I said, Hey, what did I say?

  80. I just I just give myself off because I have

  81. decided that I want to be the friend of God

  82. number one before the friend of men.

  83. Amen. Get it. That's how it w was.

  84. Godface everything, God Face. If you decide that you be

  85. a friend of men first the men, they will disappoint you.

  86. They'll go.

  87. So stay close to God, befriend God, draw the great

  88. and the resources that God supplies from his present, and

  89. then we go well, positioning now to dispense it towards man. Amen,

  90. even the apostle Jim James James who was writing. We

  91. read James chapter three hours. We were ready to see

  92. the problem that we have. You know what's admitting that

  93. we are not all perfect. John will also admit the

  94. same thing that there's no man that sayeth not.

  95. But then there is a certain.

  96. Grace that the Gospel leverages to those that have come

  97. and want to be fixed.

  98. Amen.

  99. He says that you will find your that you will

  100. never be in the position where you are continually selling sin,

  101. confessing confessed.

  102. He says, no, you can't do that. Why the Holy

  103. Spirit and his rod of correction. Amen.

  104. The design for fixing us demands cooperation with the Holy Spirit.

  105. That's why we say he will enroll you in the

  106. school of the Spirit, because it's all going to be

  107. the application of the Word of God.

  108. Hallelujah. Amen.

  109. So Abelle said, yes, I have a problem and cooperated

  110. with God. That's how come Jesus says that he was

  111. the first prophet. He was a righteous man, the first prophet. Now,

  112. if you contrast him to King Kay said, no, I

  113. don't have a problem. I'm a victim of myself. That's circumstances.

  114. Have you heard it before? This is the way I

  115. was created. I'm not responsible. It is Papa Adam. Are

  116. you still blaming Adam? And for how long will you

  117. be blaming him?

  118. Oh?

  119. As for me, I was born into this dysfunctional family.

  120. That's how we hold our conversation. You take me off,

  121. But as for me, I know that God has sets me.

  122. It's not sentimentality. And you are not growing your experience stunted.

  123. You can't bind, you can't pray, you can't worship, you

  124. can't smile. That I'm talking about the joy of the Lord.

  125. It's a strength. Amen. When you see a defeated believer,

  126. you know when you are in change. You know we

  127. see the change, the liberation, the joy is absent. Hallelujah.

  128. It's all because we are not cooperating. Cocaine said, I'm blameless.

  129. I'm a victim.

  130. I refuse to be blamed. And we saw even you

  131. saw his conversation with God. Am I my brother's keeper?

  132. When God, your creator, asks you can come here?

  133. Why is your brother?

  134. He said, Hey, Brother, am I my brother's keeper? Leave

  135. me alone? No longer, no doubt. He he made a

  136. man and Apolso don't mixers understand that he made it

  137. his brother because he allows Satan to take control of

  138. his life. Halen louis Amen, And so the problem we

  139. have been saying it that that conversation that they had,

  140. and that also tells us, you know that Adam and

  141. Eve had with with the serpent or Satan masquerading as

  142. the serpent around the tree of the knowledge of good

  143. and evil and the damage it had.

  144. It also tells us the kind of people who.

  145. Should be holding conversations with, Amen, the kind of conversations

  146. that we.

  147. Because there's a spirit behind.

  148. So it's a win win situation if you just allow

  149. yourself to be governed by the principles of the web

  150. of God, that's how we're going to be fixed.

  151. Amen, harlen Lujah. Now, so let's go on.

  152. So if yes, now I want to assume that all

  153. of us, yeah, we are not towing the line of

  154. k We are agreeing that there's a problem with our conversation. Amen,

  155. So let's go on. If then we are admitting that

  156. there's work to do to correct it. And then the

  157. first point that I want to make that nobody can

  158. do it for you. You must take frontline position.

  159. Amen.

  160. Those of us will still blame Adam. The Bible says

  161. that they shall not be that word the Father shall

  162. eat sad grapes. And then the children's teeth be set on.

  163. Each man shall be worth responsible or you won't say Amen.

  164. And all these are in the word. So Adam will

  165. be judged differently as an individual. Yes, we have we

  166. hit the.

  167. Majority of the blame on him. But now God has

  168. put in the remedies. What are we doing about it?

  169. Amen?

  170. So we must take frontline position. You and I must

  171. be active and look for the remedy. Number three must

  172. recognize that you can't fix it on your own. But

  173. we are agreeing that God can't fix it. And it

  174. all starts. We once again the bone again, experience it

  175. lays the groundwag for the remedies to be applied. The

  176. bone again, the bone again, Harlen Louia.

  177. Amen.

  178. In mar Ju chapter seven, when Jesus was speaking to

  179. or on the in the Salmon on the Mound, can

  180. we quickly look at it? Semon on the Mound seven

  181. seventeen to twenty, look at it? Even so, every good

  182. tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

  183. Healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can the disease.

  184. Tree bear good fruit.

  185. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut

  186. down and thrown into the fire.

  187. Thus, you will recognize them buy their fruits. Amen. I

  188. hope you are getting it. So you can't now get this.

  189. You can be born again for a long time and

  190. never you Now you have decided that ask for me

  191. the new Man project, I will never embark on it.

  192. You die. Amen.

  193. The fruit God Jesus is saying that we must fix

  194. the tree so that now the tree can bear good fruit.

  195. So God goes to the root of the problem. Amen.

  196. So if we don't cooperate with him so that we

  197. can fix the root of the problem, the tree has

  198. to be fixed so that the fruits Amen. And then

  199. the one in is there. He says that every tree

  200. that does not bear good fruit is cut down and

  201. thrown into the fire. Once upon a time some of

  202. us who were born again, but how many years ago.

  203. You can't do the one and not do the other

  204. and refuse to do the other. You can't get born

  205. again and not sign up for the new Man projects.

  206. Say a big Amen. We need to get some of

  207. these truths well. Else if in your born again, that's

  208. what Jesus is saying that for how long he will

  209. cut you down because he has said it you are

  210. not cooperating.

  211. And there has not.

  212. You're not seeing any fruiting. How long are you going

  213. to get born again? As you lie there and you

  214. are not. You're refusing to get rooted, you are refusing

  215. to be watered, you are refusing to grow up.

  216. You are us into mature.

  217. When you are lying down idle, it will decay and

  218. you're rot and the farmer has every right to cut

  219. you off.

  220. Amen. He says, a healthy three.

  221. Cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a disease to ree

  222. bad good fruit. So Jesus wants us to tackle the

  223. tree itself, the foundation all the lawyer, Amen, so that

  224. we can pick it up from there.

  225. So we are saying, the born again and then the

  226. new Man. You can't pick one and.

  227. Leave the other one follows after the other, or else

  228. should I use the word you're born again becomes nal

  229. and void because at the point in time it will

  230. have to be cut off.

  231. Amen.

  232. But once you are born again, then invariably, as we

  233. are saying, you don't even get to decide whether it's

  234. you sign up for the new Man project.

  235. He will do that, Amen. But the bonne again is so.

  236. Key, get it because it is you that assesses that

  237. I need God and God exists.

  238. It's always on It's not just emotional thing. It's based

  239. on a setting.

  240. If you like understanding knowledge and understanding God exists. Day

  241. that come must believe that God is and He s

  242. a rewarder of them that diligently seeking. I assess my life,

  243. I am under conviction. I realize that I don't like

  244. my life. I want my life to be fixed. And

  245. that is why I march to the cross and then

  246. respond to the invitation to come for a fixing.

  247. Amen. Amen.

  248. And so now that I've come, and then the one

  249. who is going to fix me says that we are

  250. going to go through a certain process. Number one, I'm

  251. going to seal you with my Holy Spirit. And when

  252. my Holy Spirit comes, it's going to bring you to

  253. you into your life to burn your life, all resources,

  254. every resource that you need. So we can't do that fixing.

  255. It is never the case that God will fix you,

  256. and it will fix passive you.

  257. Amen.

  258. That's why we say you must take frontline position. God

  259. can't fix passive you. He needs your will and your

  260. engagement with your will, your cooperation.

  261. Amen.

  262. When he fixes every part, like we always say theory

  263. and practice, he will bring the practice to make sure

  264. that the thing is well, has been fixed, and then

  265. we'll move on to the next place that needs fix it.

  266. Amen.

  267. So this one we are fixing our or bringing order

  268. to our conversations with God. And we are trusted. Amen

  269. that hopefully, if we took the lessons that God taught us,

  270. our prayer life is on course.

  271. We have fixed that. Amen.

  272. And one of the key ones that I remember very

  273. well God saying to emphasize was the last this about

  274. we ain't recognizing that God is not a man.

  275. God is a holy God, our creator.

  276. It's not or equal and the need to approach him

  277. as always with reverence, Amen, with reverence.

  278. Knowing that He's a holy God.

  279. So the more we are approaching with ten garments, the

  280. more our prayers and our conversations with Him are hindered.

  281. Amen.

  282. And if we took our lessons, then we are doing

  283. something about it. God fixed my thought life, fix my words,

  284. fix my actions. I need to fix it because now

  285. I've learned that You're a holy God. Sometimes my thought

  286. life I know they are in limica to you and

  287. the disgrace to your pet.

  288. Can you fix me? So you find out that as

  289. you can not not the convention, that's prayer.

  290. So you are so for course, and you are praying,

  291. and you are studying the Word and all those things,

  292. and you just you are hungry and testy for it

  293. is there a blessed know that hunger and thirst for righteousness.

  294. You want to be doing right, to be seen to

  295. be doing right, so that God can fix you, and

  296. then your prayers and intercessions can be had so that

  297. we can have tangible results improves in our prayer discourses

  298. with God. Then now he says, turn, that's what he's

  299. telling all of us, my daughter, Can we now look

  300. at our relationship with me, our conversation now that we

  301. have fixed me, our conversation between us, can we look

  302. at our conversations and discourses with our fellow brothers and sisters, which.

  303. Is what we are doing.

  304. Amen, And he are taking us to the rule that

  305. we need to admit that there's something wrong with us

  306. and the damage is bad. It needs a lots and

  307. lot of concentrating wanted to be fixed.

  308. Amen.

  309. The cut was deep, is deep. It's not super official,

  310. and it cannot be brushed aside.

  311. He says. The entire law and the it's all about

  312. loving God and loving man. And then that's it. So

  313. we can love God if we don't do the other one.

  314. Like I always say, there say a mispraits con join

  315. together love God. You have to love man.

  316. We fix our conversations we've got. We must fix our

  317. conversations with our fellow men.

  318. Amen.

  319. And what are the steps? Like we said, we are

  320. braising our minds that you know we have gone. We've

  321. done the first the kids, the bonnegae.

  322. Number two. It's not you who does it. Number two

  323. is the Holy Spirit who will do it? Amen.

  324. God brings the church. We respond to the child. Now

  325. it says, okay, I agree. Then the Holy Spirit comes

  326. in brings all the resources. And then, like we say,

  327. he enrolls you in school. I'm going to fix you.

  328. But I'm going to fix you with the authority of

  329. my word. So you you will need to come every

  330. day to the word.

  331. Ah. And we have too old to be doing quiet time?

  332. Is it our problem? Best Corinthians, Chapter we one, Best

  333. twenty two. Poor saying the problem that he had, he said,

  334. the Greek and then the Jew the Greek, he said.

  335. They are looking for knowledge.

  336. Quiet time, radio, Bible pray every day. Now it's for children.

  337. It's for children. It's for children. The simplicity of it,

  338. the Lord, we'll know, we'll know, Papa. We are past

  339. that place of we want rather lesson. So now that's

  340. the Jew, so both Greek and Jew, Greek, Jew, the

  341. simplicity of the gods.

  342. No, no, no, no, it's too simple. Quiet time. But

  343. that's how we grew. That's why we grow. That's how

  344. we grow. Church going on. No, No, once in a while,

  345. I'll go to church.

  346. No, you're not serious. They are simple rules. So no,

  347. we want something, we want something. Amen, I'm sure.

  348. I'm sure if God had said that. You know, guys,

  349. you know something.

  350. I'm going to say a hundred day first, and then

  351. you are completely Oh, people will do it. But a

  352. simplicity of wake up every morning and come and talk

  353. to me, Come and talk to me, it says yes.

  354. For Jews demands science and Greek sik wisdom twenty three. Listen,

  355. but we preach Christ crucify a stumbling block to Jews

  356. and folly to gentiles.

  357. So two twenty two.

  358. Thirst Corinthians one twenty two tells us about that the

  359. Greeks amongst us demands for more knowledge. Whiet time is

  360. too simplistic read your Bible every day. It's not so

  361. important because you have all come to the point where yes,

  362. that's another problem. We all have the first certain broad

  363. panoramic view of what the Bible talks about.

  364. It's a summary. So that's it. No, that's not why

  365. God wants us to come every day.

  366. It builds friendship, and like we say, it helps you

  367. descend the voice of God. Remember what we learned last

  368. there are three voices, three voices in the world. It's

  369. a very complex and complicated well that we find ourselves.

  370. It's not as simplicitic and well that's is intermixed or

  371. interlaced and interconnected with the spiritual world.

  372. Where Paul wants us that look, guys, we are not

  373. fighting against.

  374. Flesh and black, but against principalities and powers and spiritual

  375. forces of darkness hold up in the heaveny places. Daniel

  376. less us understand that he will and the Angel of God.

  377. In chapter ten, he prayed and then he was doing

  378. a passial first for twenty one days, and then somewhere

  379. somehow at the twenty first day, that is when the

  380. Angel of God appeared and told him that on the

  381. first day, when you decided to seek the face of God.

  382. God gave me an answer to send to you.

  383. But on my way in delivering that answer, I was

  384. opposed by the Prince of Passia, who said, no, So

  385. you are wrapping your mind around all these things, and

  386. then you know that, look, we have a problem, and

  387. the problem is that this thing is not just cannot

  388. be just fixed by humor. And I thought, you need

  389. a partnership with the Holy Spirit of God to understand.

  390. And I appreciate some of the dynamics.

  391. Of living in a world full of evil and good angels,

  392. wicked men and wicked and wicked women and good men, and.

  393. And all these pictures they are carefully laid out in

  394. the scriptures.

  395. For so that you the Son of God, you and

  396. I the children of God, that are enrolled in the

  397. school of the Spirit.

  398. We are reading our Bible every day. The Holy Spirit

  399. guests to educate us. Amen, hallelujah.

  400. Because whilst we are, when we finish, and you read

  401. your quiet time, and then you go out there and

  402. then go and intermeddle or interact with falling man. You

  403. sometimes you come back again. And anything that ah there

  404. is the Word of God, is it through is it

  405. going to be.

  406. Powerful to me. Maybe you didn't even plan it, buy

  407. in that trutual or whatever.

  408. You are sitting they are playing and there's this radio

  409. celebrity who are discussing marriage, and then they are telling

  410. you how you should treat your husband.

  411. And everybody in.

  412. That they say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, just

  413. to nullify what you have read from the Word of God.

  414. And they seem so voicy, fai us, So you say

  415. the whole thing. You must come back to the Word

  416. of God again. So radio Bible every day is so important,

  417. as I said, so because we sometimes have that panoramic view,

  418. we think that going every day, going every day, it

  419. is a waste of time.

  420. Noon, going every day helps you. God teams and trains

  421. some saying your year. But the spirit of your soul

  422. you can hear him and saying his boy in the

  423. midst of all the other voices. Whose voice, who is

  424. speaking to me.

  425. That on trained here cannot descend the voice of God.

  426. You will be confused because Satan always appears as an

  427. angel of light. And when during the temptations of Jesus

  428. we see that what did he do? He applied the

  429. way he tried to confuse it. If you are the

  430. son of God, turned these stones into loaves of bread,

  431. and he said, no, it is written.

  432. It is written. Then he came again and said, oh,

  433. he has.

  434. Said that if you are the sern of God, just

  435. throw yourself nor on and down, and he set his

  436. angels to bear you down. He says, no, shall not

  437. tell the Lord our God. Hallnlujah a maen.

  438. So that is what reading the Bible every day is

  439. going to help you. Amen, Very very important. It's going

  440. to help you.

  441. And then once again, after we have read it, we

  442. must go out there and do it and validate it.

  443. Hallelujah Amen. We must go out there and validate the

  444. word of God. We do it little by little, hallelujah Amen.

  446. Holy Spirit will take you to school. One another very

  447. simple thing that through that we have learned over the years,

  448. we are just reactuating.

  449. Just go to church.

  450. When God saves us, he plants us in church among

  451. fellow believers. Ion sharpen at ion. You can't do it

  452. on your own. The Christian life is not meant to

  453. be lived out in isolation. We thrive this in the

  454. company of other believers.

  455. Amen, hallelujah. Amen.

  456. You know so sometimes we think that oh, no, I

  457. mean too much church life you had it before? Or

  458. sometimes cry you cry, you.

  459. Agree this too. Amen. There are days say I did,

  460. are we not doing too much church and all that? No,

  461. I don't. I don't.

  462. As tough as it is, it helps us grow. It

  463. has its critical rule in helping us grow.

  464. Amen. Because you are out there once again.

  465. In the world, out there where, sometimes maybe even in

  466. the office place or where you work in the marketplace, you.

  467. May find out that you may be the only believer.

  468. And as the other voices rise up, you know and

  469. all you are hearing all that, you can be confused.

  470. But when you come amongst believers and like, let me

  471. use the word spirit field believers.

  472. Amen.

  473. We are all embarking on the new band project. We

  474. are all desires of seeing cheap, of getting ourselves fixed.

  476. each other.
