It's Going To Be Okay! | Elder Terence

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your tea. It's

going to be okay. I got to tell you that.

I asked the Lord also this morning in my walk,

why this message?

Why?

What do you want your people to know? And why

do you want your people to know it. I don't

know whether this is prophetic or not, but some of

us may be going through issues and need this word.

And some of us may be going to go through

issues and you'll need this word. So the Lord knows

how to prepare you in faith. The Lord knows how

to get you ready to be able to receive and

to overcome. And so this message is taken from Philippians four,

verses six to seven.

And of course it started.

This message actually started with a devotion to Pictory Academy.

And the Lord did not let me go where this

word was concerned. And he's been speaking to me over

and over again. So let's go be anxious for nothing

but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving. Let

your requests be made known to God. And the peace

of God, which surpasses all understanding.

Will God your.

Hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When you read the word, you've got to be dramatic.

No, See, seriously, if you want the Word to speak

to you, there has to be some drama. Otherwise it's

like reading an ice cream title on the shelf in

the supermarket. The moment you passed the ice cream place,

you forgot already. But when the Word of God is

drama to you, you just may remember it. And so

the Word of God says, this morning, be anxious. Now,

the last time I shared this, maybe I didn't make

it clear enough. So thank God I get this opportunity

to make it clear, because I said that no matter

how much the Lord tells us don't worry, he knows us.

And you know what we do.

We worry? True, not is there anyone here who does

not worry? Please put up your hands. Okay, one hundred percent,

one hundred percent of us go through worry, and God

wants to tell us that we should not worry. So

you know, when the Lord said, don't eat of the

fruit in the garden, what did men go and doo

he ate? Don't worry? What do we do worry? So

now he's trying a different approach. He's saying, be anxious.

God is trying a different approach. Be anxious. Hey, he's

telling us something very positive. If you have to worry,

don't worry. That's basically what he's saying. Be anxious. And

it goes on to say for nothing, be anxious for nothing.

You know, I gotta share with you in testimony. All right,

I need guys, I need you to know that I

share a lot of testimony. It's not because I want

you to know how great I am, because that's not it.

If you that's what you think, that's wrong. I share

testimonies with you to tell you that someone as ordinary

as me sees God work in his life, how much

more so will he do it for you? You See,

testimonies is about telling people. If God can do it

for me, he can do it for you. And trust me,

if I look at all of you, I would consider

all of you better than me. So if God is

doing something for me, certainly he's going to do it

for you. So I'm gonna share this testimony now. In

March last year, I received the horrible medical report.

Horrible, I tell you, horribel.

How many kinds of cholesterolis l B L one of

the other two H d l N and try try glycerides.

All bad, all bad. I don't want.

I must tell you about sugar. You know what is

HB one A C. Did I see that right? HB

A E C. Okay, HB A E C. This measures

your sugar over the last three months in your blood.

You know what My reading was? Seven? He understands you

know what is seven. Let me tell you.

If you are five point four and under your okay,

no five point six, you're five point six and under

your okay. If you are five, if you're grated and

five point six up to six point nine, you know

what you are PREDI when you are seven, you know

what you are diabetic. I had seven. Oh my, and

that would really devastated me.

I tell you.

After I had that reading, I was so devastated. But

I went to the Lord in prayer. I was counseled

by Pastor Kenneth. Yeah, because I was really having a

tough issue with this. Pasta Kenneth counseled me and he

gave me some you know, godly advice which I followed,

and then I became I changed my lifestyle. I look,

God will work with you if you're willing to do

what you need to do. But if you're gonna sleep

in bed, it ain't gonna happen. So I would get

up at four in the morning and I walked ten

kilometers every day, and then it went up to twenty kilometers. Yeah,

on average, fifteen kilometers. Now it's back to ten. But

I want you to know that last week my results

came all my HDL what else, LDL and try glycerides

all normal. Don't let any doctor tell you that diabetes

cannot be reversed. You know what is my HbA one

C reading five point four.

Normal?

So I want you to know in everything, don't be

a afraid of anything. You know, the Bible says that

this word anything means you know, want any man. How

many of you, okay, don't pull up your hands because

some of your bosses may be here. How many of

you got monsters for bosses? Or I've had a few.

I've had quite a few, quite a few monsters for bosses.

But you know what the Bible is saying, don't be.

Worried about them, do not concern yourself, be anxious.

Don't be anxious about.

These guys who are bad. God knows how to take

care of them. You know, when we first came to

acts church almost fifteen years ago, and Mabel myself, we thought, Pastor, hey,

you know, pastor, don't worry. You know, we'll sweep the church,

we'll wash the toilets. That's how we want to serve

the Lord. Hey, you know, service for the Lord is

not standing up here and sharing the gospel with you.

You know, yes, that is serving the Lord, but it's

not necessarily that. I mean, how many of you would

actually sweep the church in service to God? How many

of you would actually go and wash the toilets in

service to God? Let me tell you, Elder Mabel and

myself volunteered because we came from a small church, which

that is what we did. So when we came here,

we thought, that's what all churches do. Past I say, no, no, no, no, no,

we have people to do that. But you see in

our hearts we were willing to do anything.

So you know what we did. I joined hosts.

Yeah, host how many of you look down on people

who wear the black shirt and the orange tie. Don't

look down on them? Because that was my first service

to the Lord in ex church. And you know where

they sent me to the pits of hell. They sent

me to B three. That was my station every Sunday.

In case you don't know, B three is the hottest

place to be. No air condition, no win, totally alone,

so horrible.

Lights all not there, dark dingy.

It's a horrible place. But it was my station to

serve the Lord, and I did. And shortly after the

Lord raised us, and we told past the pasta we

don't need we don't need names, we don't need titles,

We do not need you know, positions in church. You

know what past the said, it's not about that. When

you step into the position, you're just stepping into the anointing.

So on that basis.

We we took that step forward to do. Now that

was at a time when we had a little bit

more energy. Now fifteen years us on. Let me tell

you it's getting a little bit difficult. But praise the Lord.

So the Lord said, don't be worried about any man.

And then the Lord said, don't be worried about any thing. Hey, guys,

stuff bothers you. Right, I'll give you another testimony. We

had this neighbor who planted a tree, and this tree

grew really big in front of the house.

And it seemed as if this tree hated us.

You know why, because all the leaves would only end

up in our house when it rained, when the wind blew.

It seemed like only our house had to be cleaned

by this of these leaves. The neighbor never had the

leaves going into his house, so of course he couldn't

be bothered.

He came to such a stage where are you telling

the Maible?

A few weeks ago, I think it's time for us

to talk to the neighbor and ask him to trim

that tree, because it's firstly, it is growing too tall.

If it falls, it will damage either house. But what

we did was we pray to the Lord last week.

On Tuesday, he'll call me excited, say, guess what the

neighbor is cutting the tree. We haven't talked to him yet,

so I say, okay, good, maybe it's just reducing it.

When I came home, the tree was completely gone, and

today no leaves. Don't be worried about anything. God can

take care of it. Okay, let's move on now, it says, euh.

But in everything, in everything, guys, you gotta know that

if you want God to move, it mustn't only be

in some things. You think God only moves in the

good things, And let me tell you God also moves

in the bad things. I met a man a few

days ago who I went to pray for, and it's

not very well, quite ill. And of course, while talking

to him, he said, you know, my mother was a

great woman of God. She you know, a Chinese lady.

I don't know whether she spoke English or not, but

with whatever language she said for sixty years she believed

in the Lord. She trusted the Lord. She always used

to tell me pray and pray and pray. She always

needs to tell me, you gotta you gotta give God

the glory.

You gotta pray.

So he said, oh, that's that's amazing. What about your father?

This is my father was different.

He said.

My father told her don't ask me to become a Christian.

God has got so many people praying to him. I

don't think you can hear me because too many people praying.

Then he felt deathly ill. He was about to die,

and his wife came and said to him, I'm gonna

pray for you, and you want to. You better know

that Jesus can heal. She prayed for him. He got

up out of bed, and he was healed. And then

this man said, in his old age, he served the

Lord for another ten years.

In everything, it.

Means that in all, in all your situations, good or bad,

in everything, in all, it also means to thoroughly do

not do this just.

A little bit.

If you're gonna throw in with God, throwing with God

all the way.

Throughout throughout. It also means whatsoever in any situation, whatsoever

it may be.

And it also means whosoever, whosoever. It means whosoever's giving

you trouble that horrible boss. Hey, he better told line,

because God put you in that place so that he

can act on behalf of your colleagues who may not

know the Lord. You know that the Lord used to

do this to the children of Israel. He would put

them in a certain place, and they ask, why is

it that this is happening to us. Then you say,

because they have touched you, my children, I can now

act on behalf of all those people that do not

know me. You got to know that life always has

a reason, and God is behind it. He loves you,

he trusts you, and He's going to take care of whatever.

Situation you are.

Whatever situation you have, I got to tell you another testament.

You know, guys, when I was in Singapore studying, I

was elected the hat pre hector school.

Yeah.

It was so tremendous that my class teacher refused to

speak to me.

She was behaved, being funny. She didn't like it.

And one day and I was scratching my head. I

was wondering, what's this all about? So I went and

I asked her, miss Cole, did I do something to

offend you? Why are you treating me this way? She said,

don't you know what you've done? I said, no, I

don't know. She said, you have the potential to be

a top student in this school, but you have accepted

to be head prefect. Said do you realize that every

head prefect in this school has failed?

Yeah?

That one shocked me a bit. Okay, so you know

what I told her. I said, I'm going to be

the first to pass. And not only did I pass,

I did extremely well, and after me, all the hit

prefects started to pass.

You know why.

Okay, this one is coming for students here. Okay, how

many students here? Oh that's a lot of you. This

one coming especially for you God is not your cheat.

You want to do well in your studies, This is

where the whatsoever, whosoever, in all circumstances you want to

do well in your studies. God is not your cheat.

He can only with what you put in. If you

put it in, he can help you take it out.

But if you are busy spending your nights and early

mornings in Starbucks until two am three am, then too

tired to go to class the next day, don't expect

him to act on your behalf because you got to

also do what's right.

I used to lay hands on my books.

Yeah, Father in the name of Jesus helped me understand

everything that's here or radicalor.

But you want to know something.

In order for God to take it out, I had

to put it in. I stayed in a hostel. You

know what was my studying time from ten am to

twelve ten pm to twelve.

Am, two hours a day.

You know what I was doing From twelve to three

or four am, I was back in church praying for

people to be delivered, sleep two hours, three hours, and

back again I'm at school.

That was my daily routine.

But you see, I put it in when I first

came into the class, my first class, my very first class,

after one and a half years of study break, okay,

immediately after Form five, I didn't go to work, I

didn't go to school. I played tennis for one and

a half years.

Okay. Then then I had to go back to school.

So after one and a half years, my very first class,

I entered this management class. My teacher, the teacher in

the class, gave this piece of paper out and said,

this is the work.

You've got to produce a report. This is your assignment. Okay.

So I went back, laid hands on my books, read

it and prayed and say God help me. So ideas came.

I started writing right right, right, right, right right right.

I don't know how many pages I wrote. I gave

my assignment up to the teacher. I got the highest

marks in the class, B plus still remember, but you

know what was the twist. I did not realize that

this was a group assignment. So the teacher said, you

didn't realize. Nobody told me so from that at that

time onwards, my classmates didn't quite like me because I

beat all of them and they were in their groups.

But that's okay. They loved me afterwards. Okay, so, but

in everything by prayer, it says by prayer, you know

what is prayer? Prayers some earnest talking over with the Lord.

You know, if you do not reason with the Lord,

you will not understand what needs to happen. Prayer is

reasoning before the Lord. Lord, You're got to help me

with this work. I mean, I don't know this subject,

but I'm reading it. You gotta help me understand. You

are the best manager. There is no subject on the

face of this earth that God did not invent. So

you better believe he can help you. Guys, you and

your workplaces. You don't know how to handle the problem.

Go to God because he's the one who said, if

you don't work, don't eat. So because he told you

the work, he will give you the answer if you

ask him reason out with him. This also means supplication.

Supplication You know what supplication is for one of a

better word, It means beg the Lord. Oh did you

realize that I didn't? Only when I prepared this message

did I realize? You know, my mother always tells me

when I go to see her, She says, you know,

I always go to the Lord every morning, and I say, here,

comes the beggar. And then I used to stop her

say no, you're a child of God, you don't beg

Now I got to go ahead tell her no, you

were right, because that's the meaning of this word supplication.

If you need to beg from someone, from your God,

he's there for you. And it also means petition. You

know what this petition. Petition means that you don't stop, man,

don't stop. Doesn't mean you ask the Lord every day

like this, Lord, give it to me, lahah, please please God, God,

God give to me, Give you to me, gim. It's

not that that's not petition. Petition is you've I had

one nephew. I mean, that's the way he talked. So

I told my.

Brother in law, I said, guy, you know if he was.

Used by the CIA, or they will get all the

information because the guy listening to him will give up

all the information.

You know.

But the thing is, this petition means when you ask

the Lord from that time onwards, you are confessing that God,

I know you've hurt my prayer. I'm just waiting for

the answer. I know you've hurt my prayer. I'm just

waiting for the answer. Okay, So I hope you're getting

something all right, because I am.

I'm just rushing. I'm just having this fire in me. Okay.

So it says here with supplication and with thanksgiving. Guys,

you never come to God without saying thank you. How

many of you go to your parents and ask for

money and you don't say thank you? I mean, the

last time your father gave you fifty bucks. Now, this

is not a lot of money, right, Stir money and

you take the fifty in it and you just walk

off the next time you're going to ask him, you

think he's going to give you.

Yeah, I might give you a slap.

Guys, do you realize that when you are grateful to God,

when you thank him for everything he's done for you,

He's just ready to do it the next time you

come because giving of thanks and gratitude is something that

shows the kind of person you are. How many of

you will help someone who always says thank you for

your help, and the guy who you ask for help

walks off after that, You think you're going to help

him the next time. Because you are beloved of the Lord,

you might lie because you know the Lord. You might

but you think your other colleagues, your other people who

do not know the Lord will do it. They will say,

you do not know how to say thank you? Get

away from me, And I want you to notice.

You know what?

You know why it is so important because it is

an act of worship. Hey, you come before the Lord,

you don't worship him. This morning, when I was walking

and I was having that part of my worship where

I am worshiping God for who he is, not what

he's done for me. There is that part that I

worship God for what he's done for me, but there

is a part that I worship God for who he is.

And as I was walking and I'm looking all around,

and I see so many trees and I see, say, God,

You're taking care of each and every one of those trees. Wow,

I said, Lord, look at all the cars on this road.

The Bible says that without Jesus there has been nothing

made that has been made so God, because of God,

all these things are that. Then I look up in

the heavens and then I imagine, you want to know

how great God is? You just got to study astronomy

because there are billions of galaxies, billions, not millions, billions

of galaxies. You know, how many planets and stars in

one galaxy billions, and God looks after each and every

one of them at the same time. They are planets

made of diamonds. Do you know that they are planets

that have the capacity or the composition of candy floss. Yeah,

there are planets. There's so many different types.

Do you know that one of the moons of Saturn

has got water? Isn't it wonderful?

And the size is the same as the planet that

was slightly smaller. Guys, God is looking after each and

every one of these things at the same time. You

know what is a You know what qualifies something as

a planet? It must be round. Yeah, do you know

that If it's not round, it's not a planet. You're

going to study it. If it's round, it's a planet.

And you know why scientists say things around because gravity

is pulling things equally. So I got a question to

all those great scientists who say this is no God.

What is gravity? Oh?

Gravity is the force that pulls everything. Yeah, but why

does it do that? You keep questioning and question they

have no answer. But the Bible says everything is held

together because of god worship and act of worship. Let

your requests be made known to God. What is your request?

Your request is a request, man, if you talk up.

You know, a lot of us think that God has

to answer our prayers just because he knows things. Yes,

God knows things. But if you don't ask, he ain't

gonna do nothing. So talking about your problem to the

Lord is good. But always end in a request. Because

God is a gentleman, he will not do something for

you if you don't ask him.

He will not.

He He's the one who gave you that that will.

So you have to invite him to act. So ask

from the Lord. You know, make your requirement known to God.

Be specific, men, ask him. He's also demand. Oh do

you demand the Lord?

Yes, Lord, I demand this from you because I know

it is your word, it is your promise, it is

you know. I believe you can do this.

I got to tell you that the Lord is able

to do astounding things. There are some testimonies I cannot

share with you because of certain situations I'm not allowed

to say, but I can tell you this. The Lord

can grant you miracles, miracles in the six figures, all because.

You and the truth.

Guys, are you willing to make the demand known to God.

Oh it's too big. It's too big for me, it's

too big for you. It's nothing to God.

Nothing.

All right, let's let's let's move on a little bit

and make me known to God. Because you know why,

Because when you make known something to God, it is

a certification. It is a declaration of who God is.

God wants you to declare who he is to everybody around.

How do you do that?

By your testimony? God did this for me, He will

do it for you. I'm nobody big, I'm nobody.

I may be big, but you know I'm nobody special,

I'm ordinary.

And God does it for me. He will do it

for you all the time. And the Bible says and

the peace of God. Huh, I like this word and

the peace of God. You know, peace in English means

peace loved everything. Okay, But you want to know what

this word means in its original language of Greek.

Let me see if I can get this right.

Kabba sandaripadas, suasannah huru har yangdi alami oli papuraghany what

is it?

Exemption from the rage of the havoc of war? How

do you like that? See even that my bassa.

Is from the lord, because really it's not in it's

it's not in language, it's only in textbooks. But I

want you to know this word peace means exemption from

the rage and havoc of war. My mother was four

years old in Jalen Hicks Hicks Road. Now it's known

as uh Loren Raja Chulan and Jalan Rajachulan. Okay, she said,

at the age of four, the sirens would go off

and they had to run in the jungle as the

Japs were dropping bombs. You know, war, the havoc of

war is scary. Can you imagine what it was for

a four year old girl to go through that kind

of terror? Guys, how many of us have faced terror

in our lives? Exemption from the rage and havoc of.

War, guys. I should have died so many times I

should have. The first time I should have died was

when my uncle put me on a branch. He's holding

me up and I slipped from his grasp and I

fell from that branch into the drain over the fence.

I'm okay. Some of you may not believe in love,

but I'm okay.

At the age of eight, I was knocked down by

a motorcycle at full speed, full speed. I was crossing

the road. I didn't see this guy. This is Chalantlogado

or now you know in Klanger is for those of

you from Klang. It's a main road. It's a real

nasty road. So many people have died. I walked and

this guy stopped his motorcycle on my face. I bear

a dimple made by that man. It's a hole. It

was a hole when I fell down there. He knocked

me at full speed, but I felt where.

He hit me.

He and his motorcycle went flying. My red uniform was

My white uniform was now covered red dyed red, completely red.

I rolled to the side of the road because there

was a trailer coming. At the age of eight, I

rolled to the side of the road. I don't know

how my bag was there, so the force of the

knock had sent my back there. One shoe was missing.

I picked up the bag and I continued walking home.

I looked on my left and I saw this guy's

face was all scratched up. Those were the times before helmet. Okay,

face was all scratched up. Back there he was lying

on the road. I don't know what became of him

because I got up and I walked on. As I

was walking, one Indian man on a bicycle.

See what happened to you?

I said, Man, an accident over there. He said, come,

I'll take you. He put me on a bicycle. He

took me to my house. My mother took me to

the doctor. The doctor examined me, he says, and then

I went to the mirror and I cleaned it up.

It was actually a hole.

It was a hole the size of a pencil ride

in my face because the bike had a rocket on it,

and that rocket went in my face.

I should have died. But you know I went to

school the next day. No scratches added in that hole,

not a single scratch in my body, no injury, no pain, nothing,

just one pat ship. How is that possible?

Because God was preparing me for the time that I

would be saved. I want you to know that God

is able to protect us from situations like that. I mean,

I'm still standing how many issues elder mable and myself

have gone through in life that should have destroyed us.

You should have destroyed us.

We went through so many challenges, but you know, God

helped us overcome each and every one of them because

it's the peace of God.

It was the peace of God.

Because we worshiped him, because we trusted him, because we

may known what we wanted him to do for us.

So the Bible says this word peace is exemption. It

also means peace between individuals. How many concord? Hey, are

you having trouble with people on your left or your right,

behind you or in frant?

You know?

The Bible says that God is able to make peace

with people. Peace in your life. I mean, there was

one time one guy, he just refused to talk to me,

and what's the matter with you? He said, don't you

remember we were sitting next in churches and then he

I offered you the book. You just looked at me

and you turned away.

So I looked at him and say, you know what,

let me tell you the truth. I don't remember seeing

you nobody. You were right there by my side. I said,

I'm sorry, I can't remember. See say some of you

don't know whether I'm right? No, no, no, But.

God help make peace. And he believed me and he

became friends again. God will help you. He'll help you

make peace with individuals. You know, the Bible says and

this one is this one. I love this one. I

love because you need to understand that peace means this

as well. Most of us have our troubles because of money,

or should I say the lack of money. The lack

of money gives us a lot of sleepless nights, cracking

out that bill needs to be paid. I cannot sleep

that fuller is coming for his money. I cannot sleep.

My children need clothes. I don't have the money. I

cannot sleep, right or not? You young ones, I need to

go to Starbards. No money problem, true, not. There is

this new shoe I want to buy. No money stress one, Craig. Now,

let me tell you what is what peace means.

H next life.

It means this, you know. It means okay. Firstly means

security and safety. I talked about that just now. It

also means prosperity.

Wow. Can you imagine this?

He says, be anxious for nothing, but in everything by

prans application, with thanksgiving, Let your requests be made known

to God, and prosperity.

Will come on you. Wow, money, honey, it will come.

Why The Bible says that it is It is so

important and God knows it's important, and he can give

it to you. You know, the other day, a very

nice thing happened. We went to this restaurant, Mama Indian restaurant.

We just had breakfast, all right now. When we went

to pay, the guy said, it's okay, the bill has

been paid.

Uh, the bill has been paid. Yeah, somebody paid. Who paid?

One guy who said he knows you. He said, we

came into this restaurant, we saw everybody there. There's nobody

here that we knew. But he says, it's okay, it's

paid for.

How cool is that? You know what? God was letting

us know.

He's just taking care of us. He's taking care of

our issues one by one. I can tell you the

whole of the last two three weeks, the miracles that

God has been doing has been astounding, because prosperity comes

when you worship the Lord, when you trust him, prosperity comes.

And it's also security and safety. Security and safety in

that situation where I could have died, and that's not

the only situation. I mean, I fell backwards from the

stairs from the ladder, fell backwards with nothing the hole,

and I landed in between the toilet pot.

And the metal box toolbox. My head just in between.

I could have died, but I did not why the

Lord was looking after me when I was One day

I was riding a bicycle, so I came to this

covet you know as the cover is the metal is

the concrete stone by the side of the house. A

lot of people sit on it and we when every

time we ride, we come and put a leg on it.

I missed.

And I fell backwards like that into the drain. The

drain is only so wide. I fell in between. My

head missed left side, my head missed the right side.

It was quite a fall, and the bike fell on

top of me. And standing up, can you imagine I

got out? I was now black. That was a dirty drain.

But you want to know something, not a scratch. Safety

because peace, because peace and harmony make things, make and

keep things.

Safe and prosperous.

Guys, you at the start of your life, there are

so many things you're going to need. There's so many

times when you will have lack. But I'm here to

tell you that the peace of God will take care

of it. It will take care of it. So I

do not know who the Lord is speaking to, but

situations are coming. I think when you're gonna need this help,

go to this word. Meditate on this word, let it

speak to you, because it also means of the Messiah's peace, the.

Way that leads to salvation.

Guys, I'm no longer afraid to talk to people about Jesus.

How difficult it is to go up to a stranger

and tell that stranger do you want to hear about Jesus.

When I begin to realize that it's so important to

speak to someone and let them know that Jesus loves them,

it becomes easy. So I tell a lot of people.

You got all people who are struggling, Do you want

to receive the Lord?

Call me.

I will come, I will talk to them. I will

share with them why you want them to know Jesus.

You want them to know the Messiah. You want them

to know the Messiah's salvation. That's what this word peace means.

And lastly, this peace also means of Christianity, the tranquil

state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ

and so fearing nothing from God and content with its

earthly lot or whatever sort that is. That This means

that because we are so assured of our salvation, we

can be at peace. I tell Elder Mabel.

When I die, if I go.

Before you, no morning, no sad songs, no nearer my

God to thee I want a rock band with drums,

electric guitar, bass, keyboards, the works. Why Because if you

and I believe that I've gone to be with Jesus,

it is a celebration.

Guys.

I don't want anybody to cry, Not that you're a cryler,

but I don't want any sad face.

When I go.

You'll miss me. You'll get over it. Seriously, you'll get

over it. If you don't miss me, that's okay. Also, see,

But in the end of the day, it's okay. It's

okay because we really believe that we are with Jesus. Guys,

it's a different way of living, you know. Goneer The

days when you fall to pieces because I loved one

goes home to be with the Lord goner. The days

you should celebrate. Yeah, why, you're gonna miss them, right,

I tell you this. The time in which it takes

for you to meet them again is the blink of

eye and eye in eternity. It's nothing in maybe seventy

years on earth, but in the measurement of eternity. It's

not even the blink of an eye.

Guys. That's what peace is. Peace is knowing that you're saved.

The Bible says only one or actually one of the

things that can rob you of your salvation is unforgiveness. Guys,

if there's anybody that you have not forgiven, you want

this piece, go and forgive them. You want this piece,

Let it go, Let those issues go. It's not worth

your salvation.

Give it up. The Bible says that we will be

assured knowing our savior.

Now it says this eh and the peace of God

which surpasses all understanding. Also, it also means the blessed

state of devout men and women after death. That's the

Bible what says that we are surrounded by so great

a cloud of witnesses. You know who these witnesses are,

those that have gone home to be with the Lord. Guys,

you want to be with damn right.

So make sure nothing stands in the way, make sure

nothing gets in the way. Let's move on.

And the peace of God, which surpasses with surpasses. This

word means that to hold oneself above, to excel, to

be superior. This peace is superior than anything. You know,

how much of time or how much of time do

I have left? Fifteen minutes? Okay, good, because I want

to talk about.

Jesus, all right. So the thing is this to hold

oneself above It's superior.

This, this piece of God is superior. It is excellent,

all right. It's above anything else. So you don't have

to worry. It's not the cheap piece like the devil gives. Yeah,

the enemy hood wings a lot of people. So Eve

had the peace in eating the fruit because she listened

to him. Guys, that's not the kind of peace that

God gives. The kind of peace that God gives is complete.

I mean, if you look at the lives of Peter

and Paul, to all the apostles. Look, whenever somebody tells

you that Jesus is untrue, it's not real. You just

tell them this, you say, look at the lives of

the apostles.

They were cowards.

But when Jesus resurrected, when the Holy Spirit came on them,

they went out and they changed the world. And they

did not they were not afraid to give their lives

for him. What can make a coward change the power

of God?

So if you want to know proof.

That is proof their lives changed. So it's superior, it's excellent,

all right. It's the piece of God which surpasses all understanding.

I want you to know this understanding, this one.

And when you talk about understanding, it's just very flat.

It doesn't really give you an entire picture. This word

understanding means this. It means your mind or your intellect.

It means your thoughts, your feelings.

Your will. You know, how how would you explain it? Well?

Your your your your mind is.

Like the khaki, all right, your thoughts, your feelings, that's

like the car, and the will is like the Holy

Spirit the petrol. So the thing is this, you need

you need God to be able to help you. Your

mind needs to be in sync with your thoughts and

feelings and your will that God is able to do it.

You know, Until and unless all this becomes in sync,

you will always have trouble in your heart. Your mind says, oh,

it's not possible. It won't happen for me.

Do you know?

I used to tell myself God can speak to everybody,

but he doesn't speak to me. That was the lie

that the devil had me thinking for so long. Now

if you ask me, I say, I can hear the Lord.

So my mind, my thoughts, and will has been subjected

to him because I would rather go with the truth.

What is the truth? God can speak to me through

the Holy Spirit. So my will is subject you.

Know, what is your will?

I want to do, but I don't do because Jesus said,

don't do. Or I don't want to do, but Jesus said,

do I do. That's your will. So I subjected it

to the Holy Spirit. When I go and see somebody,

do I just go and see them and then just

talk whatever comes off the top of my head. No,

When I'm going to see them, I'm saying, Lord, what

do I share with them?

What do I talk? What do I say?

This recent person that I went to see, I had

this thought. You know, nothing was coming in the spraying.

God's give me, give me, let me know what I talk,

let me know what I talk.

Let me.

And in the conversation with the man, his wife said

something and the Holy Spirit said, that's it, and I

dealt it, dealt with it with him, and when he finished,

he was feeling the peace of God. So I subject

my feelings, my thoughts, my mind to him. That's what

it means, and the Bible says it will go.

It will be like a watcher in advance, a sentinel,

you know, a god post.

It will be like that. You know how many of

us live in houses where we got security. Gonna go

a few of us at least, you know, no motorcycle

is going to come and snatch your bag, right or not?

There is that comfort, there's that peace. Why because you

are goded. You are goded. There's a God holy. The

Bible is saying.

That the peace of God will God we'll look after, will.

Keep safe, will keep saying, what will it keep safe?

Your heart? What is your heart? Your heart is your heart?

Now the heart the ticker t t that one hat

means that.

It also means that.

Your thoughts and feelings, your thoughts and feelings, your mind

and you know it all so means your middle. You

know what is your middle?

Your middle is your spirit?

Your mind, okay, is your heart, the way you think,

your mind, how you process those thoughts, and your spirit.

So the Bible says that this peace will keep all

of this.

What will it keep all of this?

It will keep your mind, which is your perception, your purpose,

your intellect, you know, your intellect, if it's not kept

by God, it will go wild. You need God to

guard your intellect through who it will keep it guarded.

Through Christ Jesus.

And I wanted to get to you about get to

get to this part also through Christ Jesus. Wow, what

is through Christ Jesus means? Let's look at the first thing.

It means this. It literally means the anointed one. Ah,

Jesus is the anointed one. That anointing will keep your

heart and mind protected.

It means that. So in Christ Jesus it means the

anointed one.

It also means transliteratey means that actually means Christ. Christ

means the anointed one, that particular person. Scripture is talking

about a particular person. It is also talking about the One,

the true God, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You know,

whenever you hear this God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,

it is actually the Bible telling you Christ is real.

These people lived. Jesus is real.

Unlike certain people who will tell you today, Jesus was

a figment of everybody's imagination. Really, there are many people

who thought Jesus was a figment of their imagination. Until

they met him. Then they became great men and women

of God, Abraham, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

It also means that your redeemer, your savior, guys, Jesus saved.

You to fail you. Think about it. Did Jesus fail you?

Did he save you to fail you? I love this.

I was telling some people. If you look at the Levites,

is quite amazing. You know why the Levites are quite

amazing because their inheritance was service to God. The inheritance

of the Levites was to serve God. You think their

service was easier. I mean, imagine cleaning all those bloody balls.

And I'm not talking bad language. Okay, the balls were bloody.

There are lots of blood, all the sacrifices. Okay, so

they cleaned those bloody balls. It was messy, it was spelled.

Imagine cleaning the temple grounds. Oh what a It must

have been really nasty. You had two million people giving

sacrifices down there. It was not You think the cows, No,

I mean this vicinity don't do my business. Do you

think the animals would think that. No, when they come in,

they do all kinds of stuff and they will do it.

And those levites had to clean it. But you know what,

that was their inheritance. Their inheritance was to serve the Lord.

What a great place to be. You know what that

is our redeemer, that is our savior. He's able to

make us do all those things that we don't normally do,

that we can't normally see. He'll give us the grace,

he give us the unction, the help and last year,

it also means it actually means Jesus, our savior. So

when you talk through Christ Jesus, God, your hearts and minds,

through Christ Jesus, it means all of this. You know,

I shared a lot with you this morning. I was

very excited to bring this word to you because in

my mind and my heart, God always tells me it's

going to be okay, It's going.

To be all right, And it always works out that way.

When I'm going through the trouble, when I'm going through

that heart ache, when I'm going through that bad.

Situation, it can be nasty.

You can get rocked, but you know what, after that rocking,

you have to stay your mind on Jesus and then

by prayer, and prayer always begins when you worship him.

Then you tell him what it is you want, and

you know what, little by little things begin to change.

I do not know how we're here. After sixty four years.

I can't tell you how I'm here. I've known the

Lord for forty five years. Seventeen sixty, sorry, forty seven years.

I've known the Lord for forty seven years. In those

forty seven years, the kinds of things that that I've

gone through, it's astounding.

But you know what, I'm still standing.

Because I can hear the Lord say, it's going to

be okay. Guys, I don't know what's going to be

happening in the times to come, but the Lord wants

you to know. He wants you to hear this very,

very clearly. It's going to be okay.

You are not without help, You're not without resource, you

are not without then what is necessary to make you

succeed in life.

And forty seven years from today, you will also stand

up and say, I'm still standing. And as the song says,

but by the grace of God. But by the grace

of God, nothing I do has got me to this

place other than trusting the Lord, believing in him, praying

to him, trusting him most importantly, worshiping him.

Every time I have to share the word of God.

I always start off by worshiping God for loving someone

as rotten as me.

It helps put things in perspective. Okay.

Then I always worship the Lord for all the things

that I've seen him do.

And next I worship the Lord for who he is.

And after I've completed this worship cycle, I pray for you.

I say, God, I need to speak to these people.

I need to speak to your people and share Jesus

with them. What would you have me say? And the

Lord always speaks, And this morning it came across very

very clear. Wan you to know what he will do

for you, because some something's coming, some of you may

need that help, and He's preparing you ahead of time.

Okay, So don't worry.

Bible says, don't be anxious, or should I say, be

anxious for nothing? Okay, don't stress out about it. It's

gonna be all right, It's gonna be okay. Can I

have the music team coming up. If you can't remember

anything I've said this morning, just remember this. God loves you,

all right. He is invested in your success. He is

invested in things going well for you. And He's made

a way for you. All you got to do is

come to him, talk to him about it, believe him,

trust in him, and.

He will do it for you. We hope you've been
