  8. to my heart is honor. Honor for what, Honor for God,

  9. Honor for his house, Honor for the leaders that look

  10. after you and me, Honor what is honor? Today we're

  11. gonna learn everything about honor for those who honor me,

  12. I will honor first Samuel, Chapter two, verse thirty everything. Okay,

  13. you know, okay, Honor is a very very small word

  14. that carries much consequences. Okay, much consequences. Thank you, Alvera.

  17. my favorite people. That's why I can quantin say all

  18. your favorite people are serving this Sunday.

  19. God is so good.

  20. So why on her? Why did I pick honor? Like

  21. I said, it's closest to my heart. And growing up

  22. I became a Christian. What when I was nineteen. Maybe

  23. that was like, I'm sixty four. Okay, I'm sixty four

  24. years old. I'm not afraid to tell you how old

  25. I am. But I'm not giving up running for the Lord.

  26. The Bible says those that weighed upon the Lord, they

  27. shall saw like wings of eagle in you know, they

  28. shall run and not be weirdy, they shall walk and

  29. not faint. So I'm not going to retire anytime soon.

  30. As long as God gives me breath, I will speak

  31. his name covered. Yeah, I will jump over all those challenges,

  32. but I will speak his name, and I will stand

  33. for men. I encourage you, Okay, serve the Lord. Okay,

  34. serve the Lord faithfully. And growing up in this church,

  35. I had a very very strict pastor. Elder Terans and me,

  36. we had a very very strict pastor. Everything was honor.

  37. He would come into church, he will sick quietly. It's

  38. a very quiet pastor. And if he sends he's a prophet. Actually,

  39. if he sends that we didn't give and we were

  40. all young, like you, young people are smiling, laughing looking at

  41. the phone. Put your phones away, it's not important. Now,

  42. put it away. Listen to the word Okay, don't let

  43. phones distract you. You only take it out if it's

  44. an emergency. My husband gave me this phone for my birthday.

  45. I think, and this phone rings because I do I

  46. have a business. It rings during service. I get so irritated,

  47. I said, I want to throw this phone away. This watch,

  48. you know. So yeah, so this this pastor. He will

  49. come and he will sit quietly and he will discern

  50. whether we are worshiping the lot properly, be fantastic worship.

  51. And then he'll come up and when it's time for

  52. him to preach, he will say, we're gonna start service

  53. all over again. Do you know from the start, we

  54. will start worshiping, we will start testimony, we will do everything. So,

  55. as a young person, we came to church ready to

  56. worship God. And when we walked into church, it wasn't

  57. your grandfather's house. It is my father's house. So if

  58. I see something on the floor, if I see a

  59. piece of paper on the floor, I'll pick it up

  60. and put it in my pocket. I won't say, let

  61. the kaka do it, let someone else sweep it. This

  62. is my father's house. You have to be proud of

  63. your father's house. You don't walk in and walk out

  64. any time you want. You serve the Lord. You love

  65. the Lord. When you love the Lord, you look after

  66. the house. Pastor Sandra asked me what am I going

  67. to preach? I say, honor. So she said it's a

  68. tough subject and say, may you preach it graciously and powerfully?

  69. How am I doing? Am I gracious?

  70. So? Like I said, honor is very very close to

  71. my heart, very very close. I grew up honoring the

  72. Lord in everything that I do. Sometimes my family will

  73. tell me, hey, you know, you know, Jesus never could.

  74. I'm just diverting you a bit. Jesus could never do

  75. any miracles in the town where he lived because they

  76. all said, hey, that's the carpenter's son.

  77. It's Mary and Joseph's.

  78. Then he lived.

  79. He used to play behind our backyard. You know this guy,

  80. what can he do?

  81. So he could never because they never believed. It's so

  82. important that you believe and don't take those things for granted.

  83. Why did I come to that? I can't remember?

  84. Never mind. So anyway, next night we wonder, we want

  85. to learn what is honor? Okay, if you don't know

  86. what is honor, we're gonna learn a little bit about

  87. honor respect. We all know the word respect. Honor is respect.

  88. Honor is reverence. When I was whenever I see the

  89. word reverence, I always feel like reverence is like come

  90. a little bit for God. No, we don't say I

  91. reverence you right, reverence. We always say God. You know

  92. we have rev We revere God, and I also love. Okay,

  93. never mind, okay, never mind. Reverence is deep respect. It's

  94. love expressed through all you know when you see God

  95. in all you know? When when when you respect God

  96. is you're full of you know, copedience and you're in

  97. awe and you worship God. You're excited. You're not half dad.

  98. You're not going to sleep late at night. You know respect?

  99. Do you know? Elder tenants and me, we.

  100. Start our Sunday service on Saturday. We don't take any

  101. late appointments on a Saturday night as something our pastor daughters.

  102. Saturday is already preparation for Sunday. We sleep early, we

  103. watch a comedy or two, but we sleep early by ten.

  104. Other days and maybe later, but we start on a

  105. Saturday preparing our hearts. We take our bibles. We make

  106. sure that we don't forget anything. You know, we have

  107. our Bible bags, we take our code, our clothes. I'm

  108. already thinking, you know, I have two little dogs in

  109. the house.

  110. Make sure they are fat.

  111. Everything so nothing so I don't come to churchill late.

  112. That is honor, guys, that is honor.

  113. Okay.

  114. The next honor is a character that produces action. Have

  115. you heard Malaysians always talk like this, They say that

  116. person now one kind of a character, yes or not?

  117. We always say one kind of a character.

  118. But today we're not going to talk about bad characters.

  119. We're gonna talk about good characters. And the whole week

  120. the Holy Spirit. We're talking to me about character, character, character, character.

  121. I'm thinking, Holy Spirit, I have a whole thing to share.

  122. But you're talking about character, good characters. And we want

  123. to take it from the Word. We don't want to

  124. go anywhere else. The Word has so much to say,

  125. so much good stuff to say. And one of the

  126. good characters is fruit of the Holy Spirit. Fruit of

  127. the Holy Spirit, love, love one another, joy. No matter

  128. how you pulled down, and the enemy will throw things

  129. at you, you keep on praising the Lord. You never

  130. give up worshiping God. You don't come on a Sunday

  131. and say, I'm going through a crazy week. You know,

  132. I have just received this news and it's breaking me down. Now.

  133. The joy of the Lord is from within.

  134. Pastor came here and shared a few weeks ago how

  135. the joy of the Lord is just not you know,

  136. it's from within your belly. You know, that's where the

  137. joy of the Lord come. Peace, no matter what you

  138. go through, peace, goodness, kindness, self control. Can I talk

  139. to you about self control? I want to talk about

  140. BGR boy and girl relationship. Wow on a Sunday morning

  141. for I see you. Yes, boy and girl relationship. So

  142. many young people here and all of you are like, oh,

  143. I want to fall in love. Oh it's so good

  144. to fall in love, you know, have a boyfriend, have

  145. a girlfriend.

  146. So good.

  147. Yes, I've been in love before. I've been in love before,

  148. and I'm still in love, Thank you John. Still in

  149. love and the boy. I prayed to the Lord and said, God,

  150. be careful what you tell the Lord. I told the Lord, God,

  151. you choose the boy for me, my husband? Can you

  152. can you pick him for me?

  153. And then God.

  154. Finally shows me Elder Terrans and I said no, and

  155. I cried for three years trying to change God's heart.

  156. Three years. You know, guys, but I can hear God.

  157. When God talks, I know his voice. So when he

  158. told me Elder Terrance, I knew that's the guy for me.

  159. But for three years, God has a sense of humor.

  160. He didn't give me any feelings for Elder Terrans. For

  161. three years, I cried before the Lord and say, God,

  162. I have no feelings. He's my best friend. I'm not

  163. going to marry him. How God say he can marry

  164. anybody in church. Just marry anybody in church. It's okay.

  165. But you asked for me to pick for you a guy,

  166. and Terrence is the one. So after three years, you know,

  167. in our church, we can't just go falling in love

  168. with anybody today. I fall in love with you tomorrow. No,

  169. I tried you. We went out, it didn't work out. Okay,

  170. I'll try B or B doesn't work. We went out also,

  171. it doesn't work. We'll go to see you. Know.

  172. That is no honor to God, no integrity.

  173. So when someone wants to disciple you and tell you, hey,

  174. let me walk with you, a leader wants to walk

  175. with you and say come, let me teach you We've

  176. been there before. We are telling you, hey, if you

  177. go this way, you're going to fall into a hole.

  178. Don't walk this way. That's what the leaders are here for.

  179. You think the leaders have nothing else to do. We

  180. have a lot of things to do, so much to do.

  181. But yet we walk with you and we tell you, hey,

  182. don't walk this way. I have done it before and

  183. I fell into that hole. But no, our young people

  184. know better. Mm hmmmm, I know better. I'm going to

  185. walk that way and fall into that hole and hurt myself.

  186. Am I sounding a little bit like pasta Sanna?

  187. Who? Yes? So let someone walk with you. You don't

  188. know everything, Okay. So when when God told me about

  189. Elder Terans, I was like, what's the timer?

  190. Wow, I don't have much time.

  191. Who Whenever mind, God said, talk from my heart and

  192. then I'll continue this the next time.

  193. If I get to preach again, I'll continue.

  194. But but yeah, young people, young people, I ask you, please,

  195. get someone to walk with you. You do not know everything,

  196. and the enemy is out to get you, to break

  197. your heart, to take you away from God. That is

  198. no honor to God. God has a better plan for you,

  199. a good life for you. You know. I went for

  200. a wedding last week and the bridegroom at the altar,

  201. he actually said, do you know I told God I

  202. will not kiss my girlfriend at the time she's still

  203. a girlfriend. I will not kiss my girlfriend until she

  204. becomes my wife. So the first kiss he took was

  205. at the altar and he actually took the spray art

  206. his spray food.

  207. And then he kissed his bride. I was like, whoo

  208. new respect. That is honor.

  209. We always love this scripture. Right, You're with me, don't

  210. leave me, You're always with me. You never forsake me.

  211. But do you know that God is with you? Twenty

  212. four to seven. You know when I even I always

  213. tell Joanne when I even have to go, if I pass, yes,

  214. I will say excuse me, Lord, because I know he's

  215. with me. I'm aware He's with me all the time.

  216. So when I am talking to somebody, and if my

  217. mind is somewhere else, if my mind, if I'm hating

  218. that person, God knows, if in my heart I'm not forgiving.

  219. God knows if I'm not walking right. God knows.

  220. God knows everything about you. You cannot lie to him

  221. and He's with you. Twenty four to seven. So yeah,

  222. so I have spoken a little bit. So young people,

  223. please again, please see somebody to help you if you

  224. are in a relationship, because the enemy is going to

  225. use you and abuse you because you don't know and

  226. you don't have all the answers. Okay, So honor is

  227. a posture of the heart. What do I mean by that?

  228. How do you position your heart towards God? Surrendered or resistant,

  229. trusting or fearful, humble or proud? Okay, the posture you

  230. take towards God is so important. So honor the Lord.

  231. That may be Okay, mutual. Honor is mutual? What this

  232. is the only one? God says, Ah, it's mutual. Okay.

  233. You don't respect me.

  234. I don't respect you even when you're not faithful, God says,

  235. I remain faithful. We love that scripture, right, We love

  236. that scripture because I know I'm not gonna be faithful.

  237. I'm gonna let you down, I'm gonna do whatever. But

  238. God is you better be faithful a God? Because when

  239. I end up in problem, you have to help me.

  240. But honor is something else. Why don't we go to

  241. the next light. Let's see. I I've broken it down

  242. in simple simple English, what one Samuel two thirty is.

  243. So, why don't you read with me? Why don't you

  244. all read with me?

  245. If you respect me and live in a way that

  246. shows it, I will also lift you up and show

  247. you honor. But if you ignore me or treat me

  248. as unimportant, you will lose my favor and respect.

  249. Wow, that is mutual, Okay.

  250. We always live for the presence of one, whether anyone

  251. looks at us, whether nobody looks at us. We live

  252. for the presence of one, and God is always there.

  253. So remember this if you're thinking, why that blessing is

  254. taking such a long time, Why I haven't got my breakthrough?

  255. Why is favor I never get to, you know, see

  256. God's favor in my life.

  257. Maybe you don't honor God.

  258. Maybe, so let's do a self examination today. I'm not

  259. here to accuse you. I'm not here to make you

  260. feel bad. I'm here to encourage you. I'm here to

  261. tell you, Hey, God loves you. I may not love

  262. you as much. I still fail, but I know God

  263. loves you so much, each and every one of you.

  264. No matter how many times you let God down.

  265. God loves you so much, and he has such an

  266. amazing compassion towards us, you and me. Okay, okay, next life,

  267. How can I honor God? And it says, love the

  268. Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,

  269. and with all your mind Matthew twenty two thirty seven.

  270. To love God, to love someone that we cannot see

  271. is difficult.

  272. And maybe that's why. You know, if you see the

  273. other religions.

  274. They have all idols, they can touch, they can clean,

  275. they can pour milk on top, they can you know,

  276. I don't know what they do. They put flowers. Maybe

  277. we all want something that we can see and touch.

  278. But God is spirit. You know that we all live

  279. in a body flesh. We have a soul or characters. Hey,

  280. I never talked much about character. I want to talk

  281. much about character whenever might so. Okay, And we have

  282. a spirit. God breathed his spirit into us. And this

  283. spirit again, my pastor used to tell us the other pasta,

  284. my very strict pasta, used to tell us, if only

  285. you can see a spirit man, He always tells us,

  286. if only you can see a spirit man is so thin,

  287. while your flesh, your body are is so fat.

  288. You've eaten, you've dressed up, you look.

  289. Great, but your spirit man is starving inside. Why what

  290. does your spirit man live on the word of God.

  291. Your spirit man lives on the word of God. He

  292. needs the fellowship.

  293. Do we do our quiet time.

  294. Or is it only on a Sunday morning when we

  295. come in, dash in late and hear a word or

  296. two and then dash out, and that's it. I have

  297. done my job. My job is done for the day.

  298. I'm going to see you in heaven. Pastor Palin used

  299. to say, it's not important that you know God. It's

  300. not important that you and I know God. Is important

  301. that God knows you, because one day we're going to

  302. go to His kingdom, his house, he his place, and

  303. that's when we have to answer to the Lord. And

  304. he better tell that he knows you. You can go

  305. there and cry and say Lord Lord. But if he

  306. says I don't know you, we are gone. We cannot

  307. come back and relive our life again. So live your

  308. life right, honor the Lord. Okay, So okay, yeah, how

  309. can you.

  310. Love God?

  311. You can't see? The Holy Spirit will teach you. He

  312. will teach you how to love God. When your spirit

  313. man is in touch with your Holy Spirit, with the

  314. word of God. You know when you're among Christians, believers,

  315. you know, be around believers. That's why we say, don't

  316. be unequally yoked, because how can you get anything from

  317. a person who is not in Christ. How can you grow?

  318. It's gonna take you away from the Lord. Be equally yoked.

  319. Fall in love with someone who knows the Lord. Don't

  320. tell me oh, I will bring him to the Lord,

  321. because you're going against God's word, not Mabel's word, not

  322. my word. But the Bible says that Jesus said that

  323. we are not telling you things that we you know,

  324. we just come up and imagine and tell you stories. No,

  325. we are teaching you the word of God, and we

  326. will continue to teach you the word of God, no

  327. matter how tough it is to swallow, no matter how

  328. tough it is to understand. We will continue teaching the

  329. word of God. And that's all we do. I loved

  330. it when Elder Pengo taught us about a few weeks

  331. back about the Lord's coming. I loved every word. I

  332. love it when the word is strong. I don't like

  333. the love love messages. Saul. We are full of We

  334. are people of grace these days.

  335. We are always Ah, the Lord loves me.

  336. Oh, the grace of God, Oh the mercy of God.

  337. Where is the fear of God? Do you have the

  338. fear of God? Do you fear God? Hey, I cannot

  339. just walk in any time. I can't just walk in

  340. any time to church. I must be here already serving

  341. the Lord, sweeping, cleaning, putting up decoration. Maybe this week

  342. we're gonna start decorations. So yeah, come and give us

  343. a hand, all my little elves. Sorry, God's children, not else.

  344. We are spirit beings. Yeah, we are spirit beings, and

  345. the spirit needs to learn and grow. And the only

  346. way your spirit's gonna learn and grow is by.

  347. You having fellowship with the Lord.

  348. Honoring God is not only inward but shows in attitude.

  349. Lifestyle choices, the choices you make every day. We are

  350. facing choices every day. We have a choice to make.

  351. What kind of choices do you make? Do you make

  352. it in favor with the Lord? Do you honor the

  353. Lord in your choices that you make in the lifestyle

  354. that you live. You know, you can't come to church

  355. on a Sunday and worship the Lord and then on

  356. a Monday you go back and then you're swearing and

  357. you're lying. And no, there's no such thing as a

  358. pastel color lie. There's no such thing as a small lie.

  359. Lie is a lie.

  360. Sin is a sin, and God will call it out

  361. like that. God will not say, oh, this sin and

  362. never mind. I'll just close my eyes. It's okay.

  363. It's a small sin.

  364. Murder and a lie, it's the same in God's eyes.

  365. They are sin. So don't sin, because you do not

  366. honor God when you sin. So don't sin church. I'm sorry,

  367. don't stone me. I'm just sharing the word. I'm very compassionate.

  368. I mean I am. I am very passionate.

  369. About what I share.

  370. And maybe that's why God wants me here.

  371. I don't know. I really don't know.

  372. I'm sorry. Honor God by keeping his commandments. Do not

  373. take offense I put here in my notes. Do not judge,

  374. Do not take offense. Do not judge. You come to church.

  375. We are in a family. You know that we can.

  376. You know, sometimes someone doesn't smile at you, someone doesn't

  377. shake your hand. Maybe they had a rough day. You know,

  378. don't take offense. Don't be so fast to a you

  379. o that brother? Why I extend my hand, he didn't

  380. shake my hand.

  381. It's okay, let it go.

  382. Maybe he had a bad day, Go and say hi again. Okay,

  383. don't take offense so quickly. Don't keep unforgiveness. Let it go,

  384. because that is the tool of the devil. Never keep unforgiveness.

  385. One day, I'll share with you about unforgiveness. It's a huge,

  386. huge thing. If you have unforgiveness in your heart, Come

  387. see me. I'll share some things with you, and then

  388. we will pray. God will deliver you and help you. Okay,

  389. how can I honor God next life? Be thankful in

  390. all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who

  391. belonged to Christ Jesus. Don't forget yesterday's testimony. Don't forget

  392. yesterday's testimony. It's by the blood, the land, and the

  393. word of the testimony. The Bible says, see, I always

  394. look at the pen. He's a walking Bible wire.

  395. I have water. Thank you, Thank you, Elvira.

  396. Don't forget yesterday's testimony, okay, because yesterday's testimony is powerful

  397. that will pull you in today. And don't think you

  398. can do quiet time one week once and it will

  399. help you the whole week. No, I sometimes miss Saturday

  400. Saturdays and Sundays are really tough for me to do

  401. my quiet time. From Monday to Friday, I do my

  402. quiet time, but when it comes to Saturday and Sunday,

  403. when my husband is around and things are happening, we

  404. are going out coming, it's so hot to do my

  405. quiet time. Sometimes I do wake up very early in

  406. the morning to pray, and I always ask God, God,

  407. I am doing my quiet time every day. I miss

  408. one day. Why do I feel like I'm so far

  409. away from you. That's how it is. That's why God

  410. gave daily man. I remember the children of Israel. He

  411. didn't give up, and then he said, I'll last you

  412. for a week. He gave every day, and that's why

  413. mercy and grace is given every day. It's a gift

  414. to you, and it's given to you every day. Why

  415. didn't God say I'll give it to you Monday, you

  416. stretch it to Sunday. Pard He said, I give this

  417. gift to you every day, new mercy, new grace, not

  418. yesterday's grace, not yesterday's mercy, but new mercy.

  419. So you need to.

  420. Go to God every day to be refreshed. You need

  421. that fellowship with the Lord. One day, I don't do.

  422. I feel so far away from God. You know, do

  423. you all feel like that? Or is it just men?

  424. Let's move on. Ah, honor the Lord.

  425. With your wealth and with the best part of everything

  426. you produce.

  427. What do I mean by that? I am? I am so.

  428. You know when I earn, I'm still earning. I still

  429. have my little business. God told me, don't say little business. Okay,

  430. I have my business, and when I run my business,

  431. I'm I'm doing pretty well. I am so like you know,

  432. before that month ends, I'll cockoliate, I'll get the envelopes.

  433. I will tell the ashes you know this for next month.

  434. Give me the envelope I need to put it in.

  435. I will prepare, I'll take I I I will put

  436. it in the envelope, write my name everything, and I

  437. put it in my in my in my bag and

  438. say this is for the Lord. Hey, that is honor.

  439. I'm not.

  440. Speaking to tell you that I'm better than you. I'm

  441. teaching you something. I'm teaching you so you can honor

  442. God that way as well. Because all these things that

  443. you do, these little things that you do, pick up

  444. a little rubbish from the floor, shake somebody's say and

  445. encourage somebody. All these little things that you do, you

  446. think nobody is watching you, do you know the Lord

  447. is watching you, and there is blessings that follow when

  448. you do these little little things. You don't have to

  449. come here and preach. I didn't want to come here

  450. and preach. Okay, I'm happy sitting down there picking up

  451. rubbish from the floor, cleaning the house, making sure service

  452. starts on time, make suring sure the leaders are doing

  453. everything they need to do. I'm happy doing that. But

  454. God says, jump, jump jump. There's more things for you

  455. to do, and that's what God will do. God will

  456. call you to do more things. Okay, So when you

  457. bring your tithes and offer tree, don't miss it. It's

  458. something that you give to the Lord. Be generous to

  459. the Lord, Be generous to God's people, to one another,

  460. be generous. Don't think, oh, this is all mine, my family, me,

  461. my two children, my husband, my wife. It's just us. No,

  462. there is a family here. Look Out for those who

  463. don't have food. Some students come and study here from

  464. different places, different countries.

  465. You know, sometimes they don't have enough.

  466. Lookout see who needs it, and bless because these are

  467. the things that you're opening doors where blessings will come

  468. to you.

  469. Okay, habits that do not honor God. Okay.

  470. Don't you realize that your body is the temple of

  471. the Holy Spirit. Okay, don't you realize that your body

  472. is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Honor God with

  473. your body, whatever that you do. You know, God is

  474. always watching you.

  475. You know, always.

  476. Ah, so hard to tell you after your thing, I'm

  477. judging your so hard to preach. But yeah, so anyway, sexually, immorality, immorality,

  478. we don't really talk about that in church. Hush, you

  479. need to talk these things or people know. No, people

  480. don't know. If you don't teach, nobody knows. So learn

  481. be holy before the Lord. You know. We don't want

  482. to offend the Lord by doing these things. You know,

  483. going the wrong way. The Holy Spirit steps out. He

  484. loves you so much, but he will not stand for it.

  485. He will not stand for it. So if you're doing it,

  486. stop it. How can I honor God? We continue?

  487. Next night? Whoh twelve five?

  488. For really in the same way, Let your good deeds

  489. shine out for all to see, so that everyone will

  490. praise your heavenly Father. Don't show away from good works.

  491. Don't be an undercower Christian. Don't show away from good works.

  492. Do good works. Like I said, look out for your brother,

  493. look out for your sister, help one another. Don't be

  494. afraid when you go out sometimes you see this. Don't

  495. have to wait one year for Christmas year to bless some.

  496. Lady that's washing toilets.

  497. You don't have to wait for one a year Christmas

  498. year to bless somebody.

  499. Do you bless them?

  500. If you see them, take out some money and give

  501. a little bit of money, you would cheer them up.

  513. go away, don't disturb me. I want to live my life.

  514. I love you, so I come after you. I only

  515. do it because I love you. If I didn't love you,

  516. I will let you do what you want to do.

  517. I know you've told me don't interfere in my life.

  518. I know what to do. I'm big enough. But when

  519. you're broken, who's going to pick you up? You're Unti

  520. Mabel will be there to pick you up. And I

  521. don't want you to go into that way where you

  522. know the world will use.

  523. You and throw you out.

  524. Honor the Lord by honoring your father and mother. Not

  525. just your father and mother, anyone who's much older if

  526. you see them on the street.

  527. Some old men you.

  528. Know can't walk, or can't cycle, or you know, can't

  529. carry heavy things. You know, when we were young, we

  530. learned elmook So I was asking Joanne, what is elmokatan now?

  531. She said, moral, Okay, you know we learn from young

  532. to help the elderly. It doesn't matter if they are

  533. your father, your mother, It may be strangers.

  534. So what help we are the light? God has called

  535. us to be the salt and light help.

  536. And when you help an elderly person, the person doesn't

  537. even have to say thank you in his heart. He

  538. will just say wow, and he will thank He's God,

  539. but our God hears it and he will bless you.

  540. Are you okay?

  541. Good ah, because he just stepped out.

  542. I don't know why.

  543. Okay, uh, okay, we're going to go.

  544. I think what time do I anna? Twelve? Five?

  545. Now before twelve okay, then I have to really rush

  546. okay next night.

  547. Okay.

  548. Jesus finds John wrote in the Book of Revelation about

  549. seven churches, where you know, he's inspired by the Holy

  550. Spirit to write this book, and he says this and

  551. prophesies this in the Book of Revelation about seven churches.

  552. You all know the churches mean people. So at the return,

  553. you know that Jesus is coming soon. Right, you can

  554. see the times. You can see that he's coming. If

  555. my husband was yeah, here exactly tell you in this country,

  556. this is happening, this war is happening.

  557. This bridge, this sea, this lake.

  558. He will tell you everything because he studies. So he studies,

  559. and he is so good. I don't know how to

  560. do that, but yeah, it's amazing. Jesus return is soon.

  561. And at his return he said there will be seven churches.

  562. And out of the seven churches, five does not honor God.

  563. And I want to quickly just read five that doesn't

  564. honor God, no excitement for the things of God. They

  565. had forsaken their first love. Don't grow hole for second

  566. the first love. That means they came to the Lord

  567. all excited, loving God and everything, and after some time

  568. the world just chokes them. Let the world chok you.

  569. That's why you need to keep close fellowship with the Lord.

  570. Come to church, learn God's work, do your quiet time,

  571. mix with Christians.

  572. Grow.

  573. It could be disciple, why are you so scared to

  574. be discipled? Are you? Why didn't he come from the word.

  575. Didn't he come from Jesus' mouth? Go therefore and make disciples.

  576. So what it's the church doing. We are discipling you.

  577. We are helping you. We are speaking into your life.

  578. We are not controlling you, not pullying you, you know,

  579. making your life difficult.

  580. No, we are not doing that. So be disciples.

  581. We are in the world, but not of the world.

  582. Our identity is in Christ. Okay, always remember that.

  583. Okay.

  584. The next one say they compromised with the world, blending

  585. truth with worldly practices. Wow, choosing what's convenient and it

  586. is dangerous.

  587. Okay.

  588. And then the next light, I want to quickly go

  589. because it's twelve ten. They tolerated sin and false prophecy.

  590. They allowed corruption in the church, watering down the word

  591. of God to please people. Whoa this one. I think

  592. I score point with God today. I really scored point

  593. because watering down the word of God to please people.

  594. I'm not here to please you, guys.

  595. I'm here to preach the word and preach the truth

  596. and to help you and me. I'm just not preaching

  597. to you. I'm preaching to myself as well. Watch it, Mabel,

  598. watch it. So I'm preaching to myself as well.

  599. Okay. So it's just not you.

  600. I always tell I'm sharing my message with you, Okay,

  601. I'm sharing what I'm preaching to myself with you. So

  602. always pray for your pastors, pray for your leaders, okay,

  603. because while you go through small things, leaders go through

  604. bigger things. The enemy is all always watching to come

  605. after them and make their lives difficult. So the next

  606. one next, like, yeah, sadis. They had a reputation of

  607. being alive but was spiritually dead. They honored God outwardly,

  608. but not inwardly. Outwardly only yo, come every Sunday, put

  609. on your clothes, come to church Sunday, worship God. Roster

  610. that done, take done, and then Monday live your life. No, please,

  611. let's not do that. Okay, Church in loud is yea.

  612. They were look warm neither hot or cold. Oh dear,

  613. I hate lukewarm water. You know it must be either

  614. hot or cold. I just don't like lukewarm. Oh my,

  615. this honor through pride and self sufficiency. Oh my goodness,

  616. that is so said. Let's not fall into these categories.

  617. Because it has been prophesied in the Book of Revelation

  618. that the church will be like that. That means you

  619. and I will become like that. We will become so selfish,

  620. we will lose our furst love, we will dilute God's word.

  621. Oh my, this is so bad.

  622. Right, Let's not fall into that category. Okay.

  623. I love you people so much.

  624. I truly love you, and I preach with all my heart,

  625. my soul, my mind to share the truth to you.

  626. I do not put you down again. Don't stone me. Okay.

  627. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
