  24. Continue with her this courses how best we can bring

  25. order into our conversations.

  26. Amen, let's go to James James Chapter three, best two

  27. and James is Jesus is genia brother. James is apostle

  28. James one who wrote this, like Jesus is genial brother.

  29. Say mother, But when Jesus was alive, he wasn't one

  30. of his disciples because they even doubted him until he

  31. rose again and then he became part of the disciple.

  32. Now listen to him talk about the town. There's two

  33. let's pick it from verse two. He say, for we

  34. all stumble in many ways. We all turn to someoneyre

  35. and say we all we all? You just say we

  36. are you see, we have to admit that there's a problem.

  37. There is a problem with us. You, yeah, everybody. And

  38. Pastor said this. I didn't like. We saw all of us,

  39. all of us, And in our conversation we got accused

  40. because sometimes let me let me past that pastor will rebuke.

  41. Oh why the pastor rebuked me? You know past that

  42. it's my my story. That pastor used it. We used

  43. living people's stories. Say amen, we can't use that people's story.

  44. So then that I don't have my own story. Then

  45. I borrow from Amanda from one of the conversations is

  46. me having with me there I borrow from there? Amen,

  47. and then go want to me if I mentioned that,

  48. Oh it was Amanda, It's ah no, I'm confiding you again.

  49. Hell do he? So we all stumble in many ways,

  50. and even anyone does not stumble in what he says.

  51. He's a perfect man. But we know there's no one

  52. that is perfect. We are all asked. Fine, Jesus said,

  53. be perfect, for I am perfect. Its the same. So

  54. you see the standards that God has for you and

  55. I are children of God. It is nothing short of

  56. his email or nature. He said, I am holy, be

  57. he only I am perfect? Be he perfect. But Jensy

  58. is saying as that, look you and I is talking

  59. to the church. There's a problem in church. Why because

  60. we are ongoing repair work. So all that in his

  61. wants is to cooperate with only spirit. And that's why

  62. I said, and begin, Look what we are doing is

  63. a spiritual our work. We have not gothered or God

  64. has not brought us together. We are not like any

  65. other organization. No. Why the difference is the presence of

  66. God Almighty in our mess, in our hearts, and in

  67. our mess. It's a spiritu our organization. Hallelujah. Amen, that's

  68. the difference. Anyone does not stumbling what he sees. He's

  69. a perfect man, able also to do or bridle his

  70. own body. Hallelujah. He may. Now, let's look at three.

  71. He says, what we have been able to do? Man?

  72. He said, indeed, we put bits in horse's mouths that

  73. they may obey us, and we tend their whole body

  74. around more or less. If you look at it very well,

  75. he said, indeed, we put bits in horse's mouths that

  76. they may obey more. It's talking about the ability or

  77. the ingenuity of human beings to be able to subdue everything.

  78. And God gave us that power in Genesis one. That's

  79. twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight during the creation story. Amen,

  80. he said, let us create man what in our image

  81. and in our likeness, and then let us put him

  82. in charge to supperintend the rest of the creation. And

  83. when he was blessing other men, even in verse twenty

  84. eighties that work increase, multiply, subdual. There So it is

  85. no doubt that we have been able to accomplish a

  86. lot of things, subdue a lot of things. We can

  87. cause the horse to match, during match Independence Days and Paris,

  88. and do all kinds of things by using our God

  89. giving if you like, intelligence and power to subdue. Amen.

  90. And by extension, James is trying to point out that

  91. the tongue can equally what be turged. You can't tell

  92. your tongue. You can't change the way you talk. God

  93. is not going to do it for you. You have

  94. to do it. Amen. He has brought in the resources

  95. and they are all on site by the presence of

  96. the Holy Spirit. It brings every resource that we need

  97. to put off the old man and to put on

  98. the new man. And he expects you to do it. Amen.

  99. Change the way you talk to your husband, change the

  100. way you talk to your children, tange the way you

  101. talk to your parents, change the way you talk to

  102. your boss. Hallelujah. Amen. And hop that club promos for God.

  103. Then let's give her God another hour because I believe

  104. it is God that is speaking to us. Hallelujah. Amen.

  105. We are image bearers of God. And wherever are we

  106. going to say is that lays your speech with soul?

  107. Let him be fragrant. Hallelujah Amen. The Holy Spirit he

  108. can achieve very little in us if we don't allow

  109. him to read in our tongues. That's what he said.

  110. He said, we've been able to do it for the horses,

  111. can't we just paused and do it for ourselves and

  112. pulling our tongue, pulling our thoughts, pulling our words. Helen Louiah,

  113. I mean that's how I learn. That's how I learn.

  114. When I gave my life to Jesus Christ and everything,

  115. then I, as we've always said it, you know where

  116. you are going on To get there, you start spiritual journalist.

  117. Your quiet time, God will teach you things and God

  118. wants you to take notes. Amen, have a spiritual agennal. Amen.

  119. These days you can't use your book that's all your food,

  120. the notes column document or if you have the paper

  121. Bible or even the highlights, all of them, all even

  122. the electronics, they have pages for notes and things. When

  123. the Holy Spirit is teaching you that we are students,

  124. students the School of the Spirit. We are students. There

  125. documented what is saying and then you learn it's a

  126. learning thing. It's not automatic. Hallne lujah. So you start

  127. journaling the thing that God is teaching you and then

  128. you do them. It's as simple as that. So as

  129. you are doing it and all those things, you realize that, hey,

  130. maybe in those days it was if you like, I

  131. think maybe when he was talking. This day, you are,

  132. you are, you are typing, you're you're writing the texts,

  133. you're responding to a text major that what's that message?

  134. And then you're doing you're doing it, and then you

  135. put some words and then immediately your heart is arrested.

  136. Change it would rather fun conflict. It's a blessard and

  137. the peace make it. But they shall be the sons

  138. of God. Then he said, no, legally, this one. It

  139. won't bite him, it won't cut him a hair. I

  140. need to let her put her in her place. She

  141. needs to know that. But you know, you know the

  142. power behind the worst, and you know that just changing

  143. just one word, doing that sentence will bring the whole

  144. tempo of the conversation down. That is raining, He said,

  145. even the horses we have been able to do that.

  146. And the Holy Spirit will help you do that, and

  147. you have to The only spirit is say, okay, Holy Spirit,

  148. if you don't want me to use the word, then

  149. by the time I open my eyes, let the word

  150. vanny from my text. It won't vanish or when I

  151. press it, it shouldn't go the empty m. People should

  152. block it and say that your message has not been delivered.

  153. It won't go. Amen. Now look at verse four. Is

  154. I look at the ships also? They are so large

  155. and are driven by strong wings. They are guided by

  156. a very small Rather wherever the will of the pilot direct,

  157. the will of the pilot directs the will. God has

  158. given us a will that he is not going to subvert. Amen.

  159. God doesn't want us to be zombies. He made us

  160. intelligent beings. He gave us over two billion brain cells

  161. so he can reason, so he can dialogue with that.

  162. That is where conversations comes in. Conversations are so crucial.

  163. Without conversation, there will be no community. Amen, there will

  164. be no interaction. But God created this world so we

  165. could interact with him number one and number two with

  166. our fellow men. God's chart to add and wants to

  167. increase multiply without that spirit of rebellion seeping a Just

  168. imagine colonies of men all over. God's a big universe.

  169. We're all living in peace, which is indeed what he

  170. says he has promised he will do in the new

  171. having an Earth project where there will be no more saying,

  172. no more pain, no more sorrow, no more parallel. Amen.

  173. Why those who have qualified, he said, He will give

  174. us a good heart. And that good heart, say that

  175. will not be there. Nothing can change the heart so

  176. that the original blueprint of creation won't come to pass.

  177. But for now the damage is substantial, and I require

  178. you to help so we can fix you. So in

  179. all the admonitions to the Colossian check he said the

  180. same thing today. Efficient he said, Look, guys, you need

  181. to put off, put it off, put off the old man,

  182. and put on the new man, which is made just

  183. like God. Amen. So it said, Look at the sheets.

  184. Although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds,

  185. they are tended by a very small rader. Wherever the

  186. pilot decides the pilot desires. There can't be anything like

  187. slip off tone. Yes, one slip of tone, But the

  188. next time, hey, you order your tongue to hold the tongue.

  189. That's what he's saying. And the power, the power, the.

  190. Holy Spirit, the power and the spirit will give you

  191. the courage to do that.

  192. You say, sometimes we do all this because we don't

  193. want to lose lose faith. The believer or the bonn again,

  194. the truly see a bonne again person. You have no reputation.

  195. If you don't get this thing right, you're not going

  196. to get fired with God. You want to work with

  197. God with your reputation? No, he said, look at me.

  198. He was prepared to come down and have his reputation damage.

  199. What didn't they call him? Why didn't they call him? Amen?

  200. They gave him all kinds of names, and it was

  201. yes or not true. But he never protested. And he

  202. said that the serbants cannot be greater than the Master

  203. if they insult And he said, they will insult you.

  204. If they damn made my reputation, they'll damnate your reputation.

  205. What your what kind of reputation is that that you

  206. are clinging soul? Halen Loujah? Amen? So and so it's

  207. it's it's these are the basic principles of the Christian life.

  208. You don't have a reputation, Amen. Amen, we are the

  209. criminals that he died for us. No, you're a criminal.

  210. We are a criminal towards the reputation that you that

  211. is already damaged. So when they crucify you by giving

  212. all you say, it's true, but make sure it's not

  213. true that all as for the rumors and things, and

  214. and I mean taking you from granted, that is the

  215. lot of all believers, say amen to that. That's five.

  216. It's also the tongue is a small member, yet it

  217. boasts of great things. How great a forest is set

  218. ablaze by such a small fire. So James is warning

  219. us yet not to the estimate the effects of our

  220. words or conversations. Wars has been sparked by a few

  221. careless or selfish words in the whole, in the community,

  222. on the global state, wor's what's boom? And yes, that

  223. always tells you that there's a certain spirit that is

  224. behind if you understand the nature of the cosmic world

  225. that God has told us is ongoing between the Kingdom

  226. of God and then the kingdom of darkness and for you,

  227. and now he says he has Satans and he has

  228. translated us out of Satan's domain of darkness into the

  229. kingdom of his beloved Son, where it is light. And

  230. that is why God wants us to rain in and

  231. bring order to our conversations. We want to showcase the

  232. nature of God. The fruit of the Holy spits all

  233. of our peace Amen. So the opposite was just a

  234. few peaceful words. It will brook thoughtful. A few thoughtful

  235. words brings up our peace, isn't it. Hallelujah? Amen. So

  236. conversations are great in gold, in society and communities together, hallnelujah.

  237. And I believe that's what God has got the check

  238. together to be doing, and we just need to be

  239. a bit more careful and intentional in doing it so

  240. we can defeat the devil. The last place where there

  241. should be quious and fights and things is in check.

  242. Say amen. But sometimes what we see in our congregations amen,

  243. fire for fire and then yeah, I first you hear

  244. some of the things and then it's like ah for me.

  245. That's why we always talk about this bonne against you.

  246. It's not your photo that that that that that the

  247. foundation is wrong. You don't even know where we are going.

  248. And that's why sometimes we don't want to preach, preach,

  249. you know, sweet latable messages and get people here that

  250. the destination is in heaven and God has felt out

  251. clearly in this way where we are going. And then

  252. the qualifications and conditions not are needed to get Amen, hallelujah.

  253. And the Bible is so so replete with so much

  254. warnings that sometimes they are red check not d chet bo.

  255. I don't understand why you think that that one is

  256. not it's not applicable, but binding and losing is applicable.

  257. That's why we are binding and we are losing. Nothing

  258. is happening. You still go to bed and you can't sleep,

  259. tormented day and night, all kinds of dreams. Look the

  260. Holy Spirit that mea have come to know, not the

  261. apostles talk about. He is a tough customer. They won't

  262. allow you to be fighting all over the place. The

  263. Holy Spirit will give you a license. Else when you

  264. come here, I'll also be fighting. Hallelujah. He won't give

  265. you that license at all. You will lose your piece.

  266. You look you when you sleep, you sleep one hour

  267. while there you wake you up, and then you first

  268. and sleep again. Then the dream and then the nightmare

  269. will come. And you know when you wake up from

  270. the dream, you know that is because of this thing.

  271. H What I said to that brother, what I said

  272. to that sister, What I said, Then you will tell

  273. you you aid, you apologize, call that person you have

  274. acquire with somebody, These things that when you come to

  275. pray and you. He reminds you, Sonta. You say you

  276. here will remind you. You will not forget it. And

  277. he said, call that person. Call you want peace, Yes, call,

  278. just be gracious with the words. I'm sorry. I add blessed,

  279. and the peacemakers for this shall be called the sons

  280. of God, the six and and the tongue is a fire,

  281. a world of iniquity. And he's talking. When he's talked

  282. about it, he's talking about a conversation. The words that

  283. comes out of our mouths in our conversation, that's what

  284. he's talking about. So not the literal and atomical tongue.

  285. He said, the tongue is so set among our members

  286. that it defiles the whole body and sets on fire

  287. the cause of nature. And it is set on fire

  288. by hell. More like say that the tongue like a fire.

  289. It can either be put to good use and become

  290. a good saver or a bad master. It can be

  291. used for destruction of a construction. That's what he's trying

  292. to say. The term our conversations. You can build, you

  293. can build people, you can build your home, you can

  294. build a church. With the right kind of conversations, hallelujah.

  295. All destroy it by the wrong kind of conversation. So

  296. when you are in church and people are quiring, and

  297. people are fighting, and people are gossipping back biting, then

  298. the Bible pol said, it is said you will destroy yourselves.

  299. You will destroy yourself. Go can't help you. You will

  300. destroy yourself. So for me as a past and as

  301. the leader, I said that, hey, hallelujah, you all die

  302. your footsteps, so you are that your tongues and conversation,

  303. everything that you want to say, you want to build,

  304. you want to build, you want to do. It takes

  305. two to fight, hallelujah. So it's not like you don't

  306. see that things or no. Yeah, but you know that

  307. this is a tactic of the devil. Should I go

  308. fire for fire? No? And for me as a pastor,

  309. this is some one of the things that God has

  310. taught me over the years, and we have been doing it.

  311. We always got I said that you have have you

  312. talked to them? Have you taught them how to use

  313. the term? If no teach, then they will have no excuse.

  314. Maybe they don't know. We admit a lot of us

  315. are coming from this fans now and one of my

  316. count they said when they were there was such a

  317. large house. The father had to buy boxing gloves.

  318. M hm.

  319. So so when when when the controlvers, and then then

  320. they will he will give you the gloves, and then

  321. you have to fight and settle the score. And this

  322. this was a polygamy. So so some of the children

  323. they were of the same. Then this one in your bonnoop,

  324. in your bonnopa, it's okay if I come, let's settle

  325. the nuoper thing and then you'll give them the boxing

  326. gloves and then I mean realo and they will fight.

  327. So next than you have to empty the trash box. Yeah,

  328. now that we are settled it. Yeah, amen, Amen, you

  329. know so why yes, it's the same reputation thing. Why

  330. don't you allow yourselves in this scripture to be misunderstood?

  331. Even though God you say, God is the final judge,

  332. and as you say say every conversation, it will be

  333. jack on the final day. Amen. Then let's do the

  334. last verse, and then we'll pray, and then and then

  335. we'll continue on Wednesday. Why every kind of beast and

  336. bed of reptile and creature of the sea is tamed

  337. and has been tamed by mankind Verse eight. But no

  338. man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil food,

  339. of deadly poison. Let's go on, let me read you

  340. with it. Listen, we bless our God and Father, and

  341. with it with case men who have been made in

  342. the similitude of God. Ten out of the same mouth

  343. proceed blessing and cursing my bread. And these things ought

  344. not to be so, So you understand. For a believer,

  345. let it always. That's why I said, seizing your conversations

  346. with so we have been redeemed to be a blessing.

  347. So when you are true and a genuine and a

  348. sincere believer, I no remember what Jesus said. He said

  349. a good tree can only bear good fruit. When you

  350. are seeing the battery, the immediate the bathroom, immediately your

  351. mind goes that, no, no, their roots, there's something wrong

  352. with it. That's why I've taken my time every time

  353. I have the opportunity to take. It's not me, but

  354. I know it's God that take them to the foundation.

  355. You are yeah, you hear me over and over the

  356. foundation because immediately you get the foundation right, and God

  357. seals and endorses you with the holy ghow. We are

  358. on track. We are on track, because you will never

  359. enjoy it if you are producing badroom, because you have

  360. a good tree, and the Holy Spirit would chastise you.

  361. He says that every son that he receives, he does

  362. what he disciplines. God is a disciplinarian. Say amen, God disciplines,

  363. God chasties it, God rebukes, God corrects. And I believe

  364. that this month is using that to do it. And

  365. this yet to bring order into the way we conduct

  366. our lives individually, in the family level, in the community,

  367. and we're leading church. A lot of things are going

  368. on that has made the church on healthy and you, yourself,

  369. you and either Christian work is unhealthy. People cannot recognize

  370. the image of Christ in us. Why no order? And

  371. it's all because the foundation, the word, the way we

  372. are not reading the word, we are not meditating on it,

  373. and we are all paying it. So our conversations, we

  374. have been saved by our conversations, doesn't show that we

  375. have been seen. And it's telling us that you and

  376. I we are responsible. Even only will rise up and

  377. take responsibility. We contend the term by the power and

  378. the health of the Holy Spirit. So we are welcoming

  379. you today, married Clark for longevity. The term I tell

  380. you you can make it. Amen, Let God take center staves.

  381. The same God who guided your lives when we're a

  382. young boy young girl, gave your time, talent and treasures,

  383. he says, I change notes. The secret is that don't

  384. grow out. And now you are no longer a child

  385. of God. Anytime that you majore and you are no

  386. longer a child of God, You're in big trouble because

  387. you don't take instructions. Amen, seventeen year old, you give

  388. your life God, you call you child of God, twelve

  389. year old, child of Immediately you graduates and saying now
