  3. Believe and confess the keys to releasing the redemptive power

  4. and promises of God. Do you know that there's so

  5. much more in God that we haven't experienced? So much more?

  6. You know. I'm in my fifties now, and as I

  7. retired from being a senior pastor of X Church, the

  8. Rod told me to get back into serving the nation.

  9. So I'm praying now and planning. But yesterday at a funeral,

  10. it was so cool. I was at a funeral, but

  11. I was early, an hour early. They were going to

  12. open their doors at child noon, but we were there

  13. eleven fifty eleven fifty five and the doors didn't open

  14. until about one actually, so we're there waiting. But then

  15. the next person to come was doctor Chew Paster, doctor

  16. Chew Waning Gi, the founding pastor of s I b

  17. k L. And so we got to talk and Bassa

  18. Choo said, Kells, I'm retired now he's seventy nine. I'm

  26. to relieve more and more pastors because you're feeling very tired.

  27. Number two to refresh. I got a refresher passes. In Malaysia.

  28. SIB is very blessed financially, very bus Choose said to me,

  29. there's no problem it comes to money. Uh. And yeah,

  30. you know a lot of the top businessmen are in SIB.

  31. And so they said, we're very blessed. And number two,

  32. we want to refresh. So they actually give pastors retreats

  33. for free. So just in two different places in Malaysia,

  34. they had two retreats, one for two hundred and twenty pastes,

  35. one for two hundred and seventy pastors, and they paid

  36. all the bill. Uh. And there's more to still spend

  37. because the lord said, no, come on spending on the

  38. country and I and I know that there's my calls

  39. as well. And so he said that number three is rebuild,

  40. and so we need to help rebuild the churches that

  41. have fallen down. And number four is revival. Number five

  42. is regeneration. I think he has Number five has to

  43. do with old folks are older, older people. But I

  44. said numberfore revive. He said, pass, it's about young people. Uh,

  45. the using this station, need the lot and he look

  46. at me.

  47. Is it?

  48. I don't know what to do. I don't know what

  49. to do. But now that I'm sitting down here at

  50. this uh funeral that I'm not supposed to come to,

  51. because I just came back from uh a Perth passed.

  52. You went to visit pastor Philipline because past Philipline is

  53. getting a treatment for cancer. Uh and uh, passive Philibiline

  54. is much better now cancer is gone. But but Passifilibi

  55. Linn I heard just kind of went through hell because

  56. of the treatment. Uh. And but the picture was sent

  57. back to us and passive Lillian is doing better, and

  58. hopefully he will get to go back to Skyline sib

  59. in Goal maybe the next six months. He's now in Perth.

  60. And so Pasta Chu and his wife, doctor Lee Chu

  61. went to Perth to visit and then came back. But

  62. he came away a sow truth. So I know I'm

  63. not supposed to come. No, I supposed you know. It

  64. was as bad as that, he said, Perth, Perth, so dry.

  65. I don't know why people are my great there anyway.

  66. So yeah, I said, eyes, you don't know why. Uh

  67. and but uh he said to me and in his

  68. hoarse voice, and he said, Kenneth, Kenneth, you have always

  69. been the youth man, always been the youth man. I

  70. know you as the youth man in Malaysia. So even

  71. though you're older now, right, Kenneth, I'm sure, I'm sure

  72. you're still calling the youth. I said, yeah, that's my

  73. calling and calling. And no matter how old you are,

  74. calling is still calling, you know, even your Sunday nine.

  75. If it's a calling, you call. So I said, doctor chu,

  76. uh you know sure, he said, Let's work together and

  77. do more. I'll open up the different doors for you

  78. around Malaysia and let's do it. So you know, when

  79. God is in a picture, the best is still yet

  80. to come. That's what I'm trying to say, the best.

  81. There is no retirement in God, only for refirement if

  82. anything else are So I want all of you to know,

  83. all the way from the front to the back that

  84. you ain't seen nothing yet. The best of God is ahead,

  85. and we need to know the secrets of how we

  86. open up these promises because they are there. The promises

  87. are there, is never left. The breakthroughs are waiting to

  88. break through, and the blessing is ready to be released.

  89. And all that God has prepared for us is for us.

  90. But we need to understand and learn, or relearn or

  91. be reminded of keys. There are keys that opens doors.

  92. You can't kick it down, you can't cry in front

  93. of it, let it open. No, you can't do any

  94. anything like that. There are keys. If the whole of

  95. the Bible is a key, and within that is hundreds

  96. of keys of how you can experience more of God.

  97. Can I hear a good Amen? All right? So I

  98. want to share with you two keys that has been

  99. very real to me as I was recovering. The Lord

  100. said to me almost every day, sometimes you will say

  101. to me once a week, he says, Kenneth, if you

  102. really want to see your healing quicker and fuller, you've

  103. got to do these two things. Believe and confess. Believe

  104. and confess. Okay, So let's look at the scriptures, and

  105. we'll start with that, and then we'll move on here

  106. in Romans ten, let me read the Word of God

  107. to you. You can turn to your bibles. There's a

  108. good practice. The reason why we tell people to tell

  109. you their bibles, just look at it. It's because when

  110. you go home, there is no screen at home, there

  111. is no projector at home, but you can turn. So

  112. when you practice turning, then when you go home, you

  113. got to hey, where the pasted leaders to. I can't remember,

  114. you know, but you will remember because your memory will

  115. go like, oh, I turn to the right of my Bible. Oh,

  116. I turned to the left of my Bible, and I

  117. turned to something called Romans. You know. It's a good practice,

  118. all right, So let's read the word of God. But

  119. what does it say. The Word is near you in

  120. your mouth and in your heart. That is the word

  121. of faith which we preach that if you confess with

  122. your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart

  123. that God has raised him from the dead, you will

  124. be safe. Wow, you will be safe. For with the

  125. heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession

  126. is made unto salvation. The next light for the scripture says,

  127. whoever believes on him will not be put to shame.

  128. I love this verse. You will never be put to

  129. shame if you believe on him, for there is no

  130. distinction between you and Greek. For the same Lord overall

  131. is rich to all who call upon him. For whoever

  132. calls on the name of the Lord shall be safe. Okay,

  133. let me remind all of you that this is a

  134. very very good scripture to use when anyone comes up

  135. to you to say or ask, how do you know

  136. you're saved? How do you know? How are you so

  137. sure that you're safe? So if anybody asks you that question,

  138. you must come back to these verses. The Bible says,

  139. if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth,

  140. you will be saved, all right, For it says that

  141. with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the

  142. mouth confession is made unto salvation. Okay, So all you

  143. need is believe, confess. That's all the Bible says, and

  144. you will be safe. Is not your money, it's not

  145. your giving, is not your attendance at church. It's not

  146. where you serve. It's not how much you fast, it's

  147. not how much you pray. It's just believe and confess.

  148. All right, let's move on. Let's now talk about redemption.

  149. All right. The next light talks about redeem redemption and redemptive.

  150. So I'm very big now on living the redemptive promises

  151. of God. What is that? What is that? The redemption

  152. or the redemptive promises of God? These are promises that

  153. are for us as a free gift of God. We

  154. did not work for it, We did not pay money

  155. for it. We did not do anything except to believe

  156. and confess the redemptive. So this is what happened. There

  157. was a big exchange that happened at the Cross. Okay. Now,

  158. almost every morning, almost every morning, I will take communion. Okay,

  159. I will wake up here early in the morning. The

  160. Holy Spirit will wake me up. Every time there is

  161. an early morning service. He wakes me up at four

  162. o'clock in the morning. Okay, because like this morning, he

  163. woke me up at four, I'm more like four twelve.

  164. And then you know, I ended my quiet time at

  165. six thirty. So but this is all the Holy Spirit.

  166. I by myself, I don't have strength to do this,

  167. and so I took it a communion. I take it

  168. every day, and then I do this, I say, Lord,

  169. thank you for the bread and the cup. Now I'll

  170. say this, Lord, your body was broken for me. You

  171. paid the price I couldn't pay. Your blood was shed

  172. for me. Your blood is so powerful. Your blood cleansed

  173. me from the darkest sin and deepest stain. And I'll

  174. move on because of the redemptive knowledge. Right, I will say, Lord,

  175. I am told to take communion and remember you. So

  176. this is what I want to remember. I want to

  177. remember that you went to the cross for me. I

  178. want to remember that you took my place. I want

  179. to remember that you exchange. This is where it becomes

  180. really really fruitful for my heart and mind, when I

  181. go into a series of what God did for me.

  182. So I would do this. I'll do this. This is

  183. this to tell you the background of how I do communion.

  184. I said, Lord, thank you that you gave me your

  185. righteousness and took my sin. That was an exchange. I said, Lord,

  186. thank you that you exchanged your blessing for my curse.

  187. Before I knew the Lord, I was cursed, and then

  188. he took away my curse and replaced it with his blessing.

  189. I said, Lord, thank you for your heaven that came

  190. and invaded my hell. I said, Lord, thank you for

  191. a future that took over my past. I said, Oh,

  192. thank you for your light that took over my darkness.

  193. I said, Lord, thank you for exchanging my weakness for

  194. your strength. Lord, thank you for exchanging my sickness for

  195. your health. And I go on and on because I

  196. understand what happened on the cross is that there was

  197. a huge, big exchange that I did not deserve. But

  198. what the word of God says is that we have

  199. been redeemed. He bought us, He redeemed us. Now, when

  200. is the last time you ever used the word redeem?

  201. It is when we go to the supermarket or the

  202. mall and then we are buying something and then the

  203. salesperson said, this one you can redeem for a free gift.

  204. Where where to get the free gift? You go to

  205. the third floor or the fourth floor. What do I do?

  206. You go to customer service and you show this. As

  207. long as you show this, you get free gift. And

  208. we all Malaysians love free give not even show whether

  209. it's gonna be worth your time. Ah, you are laid

  210. a ready for meeting her. But the voucher says, redeemable

  211. by tomorrow. And you look at the time, you look

  212. at the day, and you say, I need this free give.

  213. So you go finding the escalator, going to a place

  214. you never plan to go, not even worrying if you're

  215. gonna be laid for the meeting. Right when you get

  216. into your carlator, you know you're gonna give your your

  217. your friend the same answer on my way. And then

  218. you go to the escalator. The escalator is not working.

  219. You have to walk up this escalator now. But for

  220. the free gift, we will go third floor. You now

  221. appear and you look at the lady and you say, hello, sister,

  222. I'm supposed to come for my free GIF. Oh yes, yes, yes,

  223. And you ask, is it a tesla? You know what

  224. she was gonna ask. She's gonna ask, show me the voucher.

  225. No voucher, no free gif. Hey, the voucher is cheap.

  226. This is a piece of paper. In it write cheap nothing.

  227. But as soon as you exchange it, the thing that

  228. comes back to you is not another piece of paper.

  229. It's definitely more valuable. And I tell you what, that's

  230. what Jesus did for us. He redeemed us. There had

  231. to be an exchange, no voucher, no, no Jesus, no salvation.

  232. Which other religious leader you know are exchange not one?

  233. The exchange had to happen. I don't care how cheap

  234. the voucher is, how cheap that piece of paper they

  235. printed the voucher. The exchange had to happen. Jesus, Salvation, righteousness, right,

  236. blessing and all that I alas do me very important.

  237. So I want to tell all of you here in

  238. this room there is so much more in Christ to experience,

  239. so much more. Turn your neighbor says, so much more?

  240. All right. Maybe you're here thinking, oh yeah, but you

  241. know I've been a Christian long time and I've not

  242. experienced it so much more. In fact, is gone from

  243. bad to worse. Life seems harder than when he started. Okay, whatever,

  244. it's fine. I'm here to encourage you. I'm here to

  245. encourage you that if you could live these two things

  246. I'm about to tell you, you're gonna see results. Huh. Okay.

  247. So that's my purpose of sharing you my love for

  248. you in this room. And why do I love you?

  249. Because Jesus loves you and he doesn't want any Christian

  250. he has stuck. Okay, so I'm gonna share some things

  251. with you. I hope you really encourage you. All right,

  252. So let's look at Revelations five nine to ten, and

  253. they sang a new song saying you are worthy to

  254. take the scroll and to open his seals. Okay, a

  255. young man here needs a toilet. Do keep saying you

  256. say you do, dear sh sh okay, very far, for

  257. you have redeemed us to God buy your blood. Do

  258. you see that redeem and redemption is a word from

  259. the Bible, And towards the end you will see it

  260. again when you go to heaven, because revelation is all

  261. about heaven. When you go to heaven, you're gonna hear

  262. it again. And I hope that by the time when

  263. you go up by, you will say to the Angel,

  264. I understand redemption. Why Chris pass Kenna taught us? You

  265. know no, of course you knew it even before I

  266. thought you. But I want you to understand this. To God,

  267. this is this is, this is the gospel. You and

  268. I had nothing, and we deserve nothing, accept punishment and

  269. we earn nothing. We could not work for our salvation.

  270. It was a free gift. All understand Very important. So

  271. how much more does God have in store for you? Freely? Freely? Okay?

  272. So he has redeemed us to God by blood. Okay,

  273. Next one, Galatians to twenty. I have been crucified with Christ.

  274. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives

  275. in me. Do you see the exchange. It's not your

  276. life anymore, His life in you. Amen? So good? Right?

  277. So good? Okay, Now let's talk about okay, after I

  278. talk about the redemdemption, because there's so much in this

  279. redemption we haven't seen yet. That's why I want you.

  280. I want you to get so much in this redemptive

  281. thing that God has given us that we haven't experienced yet.

  282. So I want to just excite you. All right. Now,

  283. let's look at these tow uds righteousness and salvation because

  284. Romans tend that we just read earlier talks about it

  285. right with the heart one one believes, and too, righteousness

  286. and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Okay,

  287. So let's talk about this too, all right, because there's

  288. a lot too unpacked even in righteousness and salvation. Here

  289. we go. Righteousness, The next slide says, equals what is it? Right? Standing?

  290. Or right relationship aligned with God. That means that you're

  291. now a friend of God. You suddenly are from an

  292. enemy became a friend. You know what's the difference. I

  293. tell you what the differences are totally before. But i'll

  294. tell you again. When you have a piece of cake

  295. on the table, all right, when the left side, the

  296. guy on your left side, takes a piece of cake,

  297. you s call him, hey, why do you take my cake?

  298. You're stealing my king. The guy on your right hand

  299. side takes the same amount of cake, eats it. Come on,

  300. let's share that, all right. The difference is one is

  301. stealing and one is sharing. The difference just this one

  302. is the enemy, one is a friend. So all this

  303. time you and I have been enemies with God, so

  304. we had no right to his cake. Whenever we touch

  305. any thing of God, we are stealing because we're enemies.

  306. But then today we become a friend of God. Everything

  307. we take is sharing. You know, I said, wow, hey,

  308. you tell your friend. It takes takes more right the

  309. enemy spit out what you speed up what you do? Great?

  310. What a difference. So to be aligned with God, to

  311. be a friend of God, to be at peace with God,

  312. to be in right, standing, right or very Ill tell

  313. you what. Almost everything in the Bible has got promises

  314. for the righteous. But you and I were not righteous.

  315. But now because we are righteous in Christ, every blessing

  316. has come for us. So when you say the righteous

  317. shall never beg for bread, that's you. But before that

  318. you head to beg the righteous shall never be put

  319. to shame, there's you. So every promise in the Old

  320. Testament for the righteous is suddenly yours because you and

  321. I have become a friend of God. But is it

  322. your righteousess or is it Christ? Righteous is Christ? So

  323. when God sees you, he sees his son. Okay, let's

  324. look at this word imputed to us, because I want

  325. I want you to just get all these concepts in

  326. your mind, because you and I never work for it.

  327. So whatever you're going to get in the future, from

  328. today onwards will not be just by works or by

  329. your smarts or intelligence. You know nothing. It's going to

  330. be imputed. The righteousness was imputed to us, so will

  331. every other blessing. All right, those of you who are

  332. looking for a wife, that wife will be I'm not

  333. talking to people who married her, those who are no

  334. one thing a wife Uh, don't make the Lord impew

  335. to you. Those of you are looking for getting a husband,

  336. made the Lord impew to you. Rest, rest, don't work

  337. so hard. Don't don't even work so hard. You know

  338. that the way Adam found Eva was when he fell asleep.

  339. I'm not talking to the guys that you should sleep,

  340. you should rest. So those of you who want a

  341. husband and a wife, I just write down your past

  342. is lifting up his hands, and I'm being serious, made

  343. the Lord impalty to you stress free. Yeah, the the

  344. is the merry one who saying, amen, what's going on? Sire?

  345. Let's look at a scripture Romans fourth Trainings. Really, for

  346. he did not waver. Abraham did not waver the promise

  347. of God through unbelief, but was strengthening faith hallelujah, giving

  348. glory to God and being fully convinced that what he

  349. had promised he was able to perform, and therefore it

  350. was accounted to him. Now, this whole scripture here is

  351. on accounts, this warning past. The joy was sitting right

  352. in front of me, So I said, I told everybody,

  353. Joy is very good accounts. Yeah. When she was a

  354. student of accounts, her notes were sup perfect, better than

  355. the teacher's notes. Then her classmates her will borrow her notes,

  356. and when they borrow Joyce knows her, they get a A.

  357. I'm telling you this is is if people know they're

  358. nodding a head right. So I said, if you're you're

  359. didn't understand this was an accounting words. These are accounting words.

  360. Now I can see past Sarah here she is really

  361. she's like Without her, I think I'll be lost on Seriously,

  362. Sarah when it comes to accounts. He seriously, Sarah, thank

  363. you so much. It's a lot. Blessed you, lo bless

  364. you with a good husband, good children. He should be saying, Amen,

  365. I don't know why. Amen, Allelujah, Praise God. Amen means

  366. so being let me be done. It's done a really halleliah, Amen,

  367. Praise God. Yeah, you hate chining a bit. It was

  368. a counter to him his accountancy accounted. He see, Abraham

  369. just believed. All he did was just believe, and he

  370. was accounted to him for righteousness. Didn't do anything else,

  371. didn't do anything else accounted. So once he got this righteousness,

  372. he got everything else. Okay, And now now he was

  373. not written for his sake alone, that he was imputed

  374. to him, So that's why you get that imputed to him,

  375. but also for us. So it's not just for Abraham,

  376. so for all of us. Okay here, good Amen, come on,

  377. not just Mayby. So whatever Abraham got, you can get. No. Oh,

  378. I get very excited about this. So I get very

  379. excited about this. I'm a man. I'm a man who

  380. have lived without a salary for thirty years, just living

  381. my faith. God said to me, don't take a salary,

  382. so I didn't take it. I don't even have EPF,

  383. no no EPF, no socks. So but every morning I

  384. find myself thanking God. How a man without salary could

  385. afford a house there is now today valued at two

  386. point two million. So so I'm sitting on in front

  387. of you talking as a millionaire. You don't trying to

  388. say it's only God. Two cars park in front. Bought

  389. a car without money passender. You know, we bought a

  390. car for her and she now gave it to her

  391. Mother's mother can have a car. But how do people

  392. without salary able to give their parents a car? God?

  393. And these all small small things compared to what he

  394. has in Stall. He got so much in Stall. My

  395. wife's boyfriend once upon a time. Yeah, yeah, you know

  396. it wasn't on fire for God. He was a Christian.

  397. But you know they can be Christians going on fire

  398. for God? Might son not be a Christian? So my

  399. wife wanted to she's on fire, you know, my wife

  400. not on fire? And today I want to go for missions.

  401. And then her boy friends that don't be so on

  402. fire and passionate? What for? What for? You know? He

  403. just wanted to make money. So my wife said, I

  404. don't think this relationship can continue. I'm so sorry. I

  405. need a man that is on fire for God to

  406. match my fire. Otherwise you guys are gonna steal my fire.

  407. All right, you're gonna tell me to go to church.

  408. I don't go to missions that you know, you know

  409. I can. Jesus is my first husband. And so she

  410. found me, but she told me. She told me. Years later,

  411. this boyfriend of us said to her, Sandra, if you

  412. leave me because he's rich, and he's rich, Sandra, if

  413. you leave me, or you would never travel the world.

  414. And by at that time was poor, not poorer than

  415. mean I was. I was. I was so poor that

  416. when the robber came to rob our house, you robbed

  417. the robber, the robbert. Do you want to come to

  418. the house and head throw all the others. Don't touch

  419. that house. Don't touch that house. You go into the

  420. house with pants, you come up with our pants raw.

  421. Of course the guy is poorer than us. Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, right.

  422. We were so poor at the cockages. I could see

  423. my grating to the next house. You know, I thought.

  424. I asked one of courriages. I said, cocush, are you

  425. leaving my house? He said, you're not even crumbs. He's

  426. in this house. I'm that's ooking. But then, you know,

  427. so then when we got to travel the world because

  428. of God, because of Jesus sending us around the world. Right,

  429. my wife's passport is filled every pagere without finishing five years.

  430. You know how five years only you change your passport.

  431. We had to change it the third and three and

  432. a half years we had to change it. God is

  433. the one that rewards and restores his redemptive power. Ladies

  434. and gentleman, you don't know what is in this gift.

  435. This gift of salvation that came to us is more

  436. than we can imagine. Of course, Heaven is greater than

  437. anything on earth. I'm telling you right now, those setters

  438. for second best. God has got only the best you

  439. with me. And it's not by because I'm more special.

  440. I did more. No, no, no, no, because I believe,

  441. I really do believe that this is the kind of

  442. God we serve. So you want to know in Greek?

  443. What the word imputed do you mean? I give you

  444. the Greek now, not that I'm a Greek scholar, so

  445. you can find a so on GPT do you want

  446. to get the word? The word is Lord gees on my.

  447. Oh my, here I see, oh my guy, I know

  448. how you're hungry. He's not lor my guy. Is Lord

  449. Jesus My? What does he mean imputed to you? God

  450. has Lord Jesus my you? Ah, does any bad work

  451. come out? God has Lord Jesus my you. He gave

  452. you credit. Now all the students here who understand that

  453. by the middle of the money dea, you have no

  454. more money. And then Maggie me becomes your best friend.

  455. You know what Lord Jeesus mine is. It is looking

  456. at your account and going like, oh my God, how

  457. am I gonna last the month? No? You know where

  458. our confidence grows. Our confidence grows when the pay comes.

  459. And then we see our confidence going down and down

  460. as our bank account goes down and down, and then

  461. we are now at negative territory. No good. But then

  462. your mom decided to Lord Jesus mine, you didn't do nothing.

  463. You didn't earn it. Right, the fact that you lived

  464. in your mother for nine months rentfree. You still owe

  465. your mother. Okay, your mom, your dad, your dad sender,

  466. Lord Jeesu mine, just because you're a son. You haven't

  467. come back to wash the house, clean the toilet. Nothing.

  468. Now I can see my dess Okay, that signs no. No,

  469. don't say don't don't look at you. Don't children, give

  470. them a break, you, Lord Jesus mind just because you

  471. know why God, Lord Jesus mine for you, because you

  472. are his child. Credit does only go credit. Please, you

  473. don't have to live in the negative. Once upon a

  474. time all our lives were negative. And then when Jesus

  475. came from from heaven, he broke through our negative and

  476. made it positive. That's the sign of the cross. All

  477. of you are Christians, are you must be positive? Stop

  478. being so negative. You once who are minus? Without him?

  479. Now you're a plus. Do you know what plus plus means?

  480. I added value to you, So don't call your wife negative.

  481. Don't call your girlfriend or boyfriend minus. That's why they

  482. call it. Are you bringing your plus one? Why they

  483. say plus one? Next day sho say you are you

  484. bringing a negative one? Ah? You know why they say

  485. that because you keep completely but your girlfriend you bring

  486. your negative? And not why because I always negative? No,

  487. nobody says that, Are you being your plus one? Plus

  488. means are that person is supposed add value in your life? So, ladies,

  489. young ladies, young guys, are you before you married her,

  490. make sure you get a plus because sometimes you cant

  491. marry into into a place where by her they're so

  492. negative they just zap the you know whatever, the strength

  493. out of you. Yeah, okay, the husband, why don't don't

  494. don't agree so fast that I said, yeah, yeah, husband,

  495. just sitting next to you. Why my wife is agreeing

  496. so fast? Lord Jesus mine ever since I've known Jesus,

  497. are he has? Lord Jesus my life like crazy. I

  498. don't deserve, you know, nineteen nine point nine percent of

  499. the things I tell you, I don't deserve ninety nine

  500. pot nine nine nine nine nine nights. You know I don't.

  501. But he has he has Jesus is a plus in

  502. my life. He's a positive. Can you hear a great man?

  503. Next slight says for all of sin and fall short

  504. of the glory of God. You know what fall shot means?

  505. Fall shot is another accounting term. Have you ever fall

  506. short before? Fell shot before? Chinese? No matter how you count,

  507. your notes are in your waldador, cowl again, cowl against him?

  508. Fall shot? And then a friend come behind you, are

  509. you know? And push some money into your hand. Whisperings,

  510. put your hand behind, put some money into your hand,

  511. and then you say, oh, just enough. That's what God

  512. is doing in our lives. He is making us His

  513. grace is sufficient, always sufficient. A lot of us in

  514. this room now we've got bills to pay, and what

  515. just to get my money? You're owing big time in

  516. your relationships, to your parents, to your children, to your neighbor,

  517. to your family members, to your staff, owing big time.

  518. Someone here should be saying to somebody you haven't said

  519. sorry for a few weeks. Now you should be saying sorry,

  520. you owe that person big time. Sorry, Okay, we owe,

  521. we owe big time. But you know who is the

  522. one that makes it sufficient, Who's the one that helps

  523. pay our bills gives us a strength to do it Jesus,

  524. so it's imputed to us. Everybody. Okay, all right, I

  525. haven't even come to the exciting part of this message.

  526. All this. I tell you what. I there, just warm

  527. my money? Is it good? Okay? Okay? If you'll think

  528. this message too longer, Y just stores get up and walk?

  529. No what then come better? Okay? We've known about righteousness, righteousness,

  530. you and I, You and I all must have. We

  531. want righteousness, and Jesus gives us, gives it to us

  532. free off charge. And from righteousness comes everything else you

  533. ever dreamed of. Okay, everybody, Okay, Now let's look at salvation, salvation, righteousness,

  534. and salvation with the hard one believes and too, righteousness

  535. with the mouth confession is made unto salvation, righteousness, salvation

  536. all stay with me. What is salvation now? Most of

  537. you think that it's only getting saved and going to

  538. heaven when you die. Can I tell you it's more

  539. than that. Salvation starts already while you're alive. It's PhD, pardon, healed,

  540. and delivered, all three in one. I'm telling you right

  541. now that means I don't just say oh, Jesus came

  542. to save me. And salvation just means I'll go to heaven.

  543. I'm forgiven, I'll go to heaven. No, no, no, no no.

  544. Salvation also includes healing. And that's why when I'm on

  545. my seat at home with my heal of my left

  546. foot still needing healing, I say, Lord, I know you

  547. have saved me, and salvation means you have also healed me.

  548. And so the Lord have you say, Kenneth, you must

  549. believe and you must confess every day I try to

  550. do that. We're healed and we are also delivered. This

  551. is for you. It's for all of you in this room,

  552. not just I'm going to heaven when I die. Amen. No, here,

  553. right here, where you are, heaven can come. Eternal life

  554. doesn't start only in eternity. It's called eternal because it

  555. starts now. E turnover, no beginning, No anyone he started ready?

  556. But are you living a life and life more abundantly?

  557. That's the question. Who himself bore our sins in his

  558. own body on the tree that we haven't died to

  559. since might live for righteousters by who strikes you were healed?

  560. For spirit? Two twenty four? Do you see healing, and

  561. the body on the tree died to sins, and by

  562. his stripes you were heal. All in one verse. How

  563. let's check out another one? Some swe zero three. I

  564. love someone in ze tree. I memorized it and I

  565. use it quite often. Bless the Lord all my soul

  566. and all that is within me. Bless his holy name.

  567. Bless the Lord all my soul, and forget not all

  568. his benefits. Oh hey, listen, everybody right to the back.

  569. Do you know there are benefits becoming a Christian? Yo,

  570. don't be extra humbula. Oh no, you know. I just

  571. love Jesus and he saved me, and this is all

  572. I need. Yes, it's a terrible life I'm living here

  573. on earth, but you know, one day I'll get to heaven.

  574. And you know, my marriage is not really working. But

  575. Jesus all right, because Jesus is all about Salvagian. He

  576. doesn't really care about my marriage. I know, he doesn't

  577. really care about my happiness. He doesn't really care about

  578. my health. Who said? Who said there are benefits being

  579. a believer in Christ? What are the benefits? Number? One

  580. forgives all my iniquities. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, or not

  581. some our dear prime minister. I know I broughte him.

  582. You'll know his story. It was all in the newspaper.

  583. He received a full partn a full pardon. There is.

  584. The pardon went all the way back to his first

  585. court case, all the way back to his first conviction,

  586. nalifying everything, including his prison record, all exponge, all done

  587. and gone, as if he's never sinned. That's how he

  588. became a prime minister, because the King had power to

  589. not just partly pardon him, quarter pardon him, three quarter

  590. part of him. He pardoned fool pardon. That's what God

  591. did for you and me, full pardon. That's why the

  592. word justified. You know how you remember it? Justify sounds

  593. like just as if I never sin That's that's the

  594. way I remember it. At least I'm justified, just as

  595. if I'd never done any wrong. Who did it for me?

  596. Jesus wipe the slate clean. He's not like some of

  597. the people that you know, street the floor and you know,

  598. try to sweet for people to see and then the

  599. rest sweep under the drain, sweep under the coupet. No, no, no,

  600. Jesus was not into that. He's wiped it clean, and

  601. you can't even find us under the carpet. He can't

  602. find that. You try to find, you can't find it

  603. because He's done it all for us, redemption once and

  604. for all, but forgiving, for forgiving of iniquities is not

  605. the only one. He healed all our diseases part of

  606. the benefit. No, did he say, some of your diseases

  607. are all you know what I think is happening. We

  608. maybe don't believe it. I gave you two keys, right,

  609. what the keys again? Believe with all your heart and

  610. confess with your mouth this, this is both the problem

  611. and the answer. Somehow you look at it. You know,

  612. I just saw a pastor dieary day of cancer. You know,

  613. so a lot of these things start to affect your mind.

  614. And got to know he Christians right, and we began

  615. to doubt. That was never our role. We were never

  616. told by God to think so hard about it and

  617. make a decision that is totally opposite from the word.

  618. But too many of us think too hard. The Bible

  619. says trust in the Lord with all your heart and

  620. lean not on your own. But a lot of us

  621. are living Christian life wanting to understand before we move

  622. that's our problem. God's word doesn't say believe with your mind.

  623. He says, believe with your too many of us are

  624. trying to make sense up here. When you are to

  625. be like Abraham, just abandon yourself to the Lord. Just

  626. be fully convinced that what he says he will do.

  627. You know, I tell you this a if I'm ever

  628. sick and I have to die from the sickness, I

  629. will still. I tell you, I'm confessing to you right

  630. now so that you can hold me to this, these

  631. words that I'm saying to you, because I've said this

  632. so many times. I've seen so many of my Christian

  633. brothers and sisters go home to be with the Lord

  634. at the hospital, even you know, And I say, Lord,

  635. if it ever happens to me, if you ever allow

  636. it to happen, I want to decide now to believe

  637. you to the very end that you are my healer

  638. and nothing will change that. And then came a statement

  639. in my mind that I put it into my notes

  640. tucked away for me. One of you will read my

  641. diary one day. But he says, I rad die believing

  642. than to live doubting. Leave the healing to God, leave

  643. the breakthrough to God. But for me, my role is

  644. to believe and to go all the way faithful until

  645. the very end. Because there are some questions I will

  646. never be able to answer this side of eternity. But

  647. when I get to God, God will tell me why.

  648. You understand, But I pray that you will be your

  649. anthem as well. I rather die believing than live doubting,

  650. because doubt has no power. At least believe. So he forgives,

  651. He heals, and he redeems your life from destruction. Who

  652. wants to destroy you, the devil? So I call it deliverance.

  653. He delivers you out of the devil's hands. Somebody say, amen,

  654. these are his benefits? Have you been experiencing it? Because

  655. he said, I can't to give you life and life

  656. more abundantly. It is my desire that all of you

  657. live abundant life now next life. How does how does

  658. all these blessings come to us? I'm not even sure,

  659. but it is write English? Is it? How does or

  660. how do we? Okay, okay, you understand what ty say? Okay,

  661. How does all these things? How do all how do

  662. all these things? How do all these blessings come to us?

  663. Is what I want to leave with you because I

  664. tell you what some of you are. Your blessings and

  665. breakthroughser are just round the corner. In fact, this week itself,

  666. I'm believing for some of you to have customonies. Mh okay.

  667. Number one, believe in your heart. Number one, believe in

  668. your heart. Simple, let me not explain further. I call

  669. this belly faith. Belly faith, faith from our inner most being,

  670. faith from our bowels, from the heart. Ladies and gentlemen,

  671. brothers and sisters. I want to let you know this,

  672. Every wonderful, powerful miracle that's ever happened in my life

  673. did not come from my brain. He came from my belly.

  674. Because that's what God says people. People have asked before,

  675. where does the Holy Spirit live? He lives in your

  676. in most part, the Bible says. Out of your belly

  677. will flow rivers of living water. Another transition is out

  678. of your inmost parts or inner most part will flow

  679. rivers of living water, or out of your heart, meaning

  680. the heart of hearts. When the Lord said to me, Kenneth,

  681. give up your law degree. I was a lawyer for

  682. three and a half years. Give up your own law degree.

  683. Come follow me. I've got many young people for you

  684. to reach. How many of you think that I gave

  685. up my law career from my brain, because if you

  686. use your brain, you will never give it up. Had

  687. to come from somewhere deeper. When we started ex church

  688. with only three people, I left as I bekl I

  689. was their youth pastor. How many of you think that

  690. I started X Church with my brain because you know,

  691. starting a church with the street will it's not easy.

  692. My uncle needed a job, but before he could get

  693. a job, he needed a car. The Holy Spirit said, Kenneth,

  694. give your uncle your car. I said, God, this is

  695. my only car. God say, it's the old car. It's

  696. as old as you know at that time, twenty seven

  697. years old. I said, God, is my only car. What

  698. do I drive? God says, do you trust me? I said, yeah,

  699. your uncle needs your car. Your uncle needs the car more.

  700. Without the car, he can't get a job. He doesn't

  701. really know me. You know me. So let the one

  702. who doesn't know me that well get the car. Because

  703. he doesn't have faith enough to see any other open door.

  704. You have faith, and all the doors are opened for you.

  705. So I gave him my car. The next day, a

  706. secretary called me. She said, my boss asked me to

  707. call you a. How's your boss good? Uh? He said,

  708. do you need a car next day? Twenty four hours?

  709. I said, ah, yes, she said yeah, my boss wants

  710. to give you this old color see another o CAA Yeah,

  711. so sorry again he says a car in our company

  712. And my boss says, yeah, give it to a Passela.

  713. It's a really three years old. I say, a three

  714. years Oca, like brand new way compared to my twenty

  715. seven year OCA. And I drove it for two three

  716. years and the company continued to pay for the road

  717. tax and the insurance. You know, sometimes when we don't

  718. believe and don't release, we don't you see, so you

  719. we rather stay on with the old car because we

  720. can see, instead of obeying God's voice and then realizing

  721. that so much more are you assuming barely? Faith is

  722. a faith that stirs you. Yeah, when we start the

  723. ex London, you think what's from here? The ring it

  724. issever compared to the poundser will stop you from starting

  725. any church in London. I can go on and on.

  726. We have like so many stories to tell you. My

  727. prayer is that you will have the stories, because your

  728. best stories are ahead of you. All you need to

  729. do is believe. But what can I believe mine? See?

  730. Too many of us want to have clarity in our

  731. mind before we move. How many of you know that

  732. God has a move here? Let's look at the John seven.

  733. On the last day, that great day of the feest,

  734. Jesus stood and cried out, saying, if anyone thirst, let

  735. him come to me and drink. He who believes in me,

  736. as the scripture has set, out of his heart will

  737. flow rivers of living water. There is a river inside

  738. of you. Listen, there's a river inside of you that's

  739. waiting and wanting to flow. And all you need to

  740. do is believe. And then out of your own belly,

  741. out of your own innermost being, out of your own heart,

  742. will flow. Is not the mind, It is not the mind.

  743. He didn't say out of his mind will flow rivers

  744. of living water. See, I think, why why you keep

  745. talking about this? I know we got it. I want

  746. to make sure you got it because too many of

  747. us are still living for the mind. The Bible says

  748. you are transformed by the renewing of your mind. So

  749. your mind and my mind needs to be renewed before

  750. you can be transformed. There were Okay, next one, for surely,

  751. I say to you, whoever says to this mountain be

  752. removed and be cast into the sea. And that's not

  753. doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he

  754. says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Hello,

  755. whatever is whatever. No, God, you don't put a limitation

  756. of whatever. But there are conditions before that. And that's

  757. the Bible says, don't doubt in your mind. So I

  758. explained this to you since some of you might be

  759. struggling with this. You said passive, But doubt is natural thing, right? Yes,

  760. do you understand now when I say this to you?

  761. Are you can still doubt in your mind but not

  762. in your heart? Meaning, oh God, I've got a thousand

  763. and one questions in my mind, but in my heart

  764. I'm settled. I'm at peace that this is you and

  765. I will do it. So that's where they get confusing. Hey,

  766. how comes God says don't doubt? Then some pastors say, yeah,

  767. it's okay, little be of doubt is what you know. No,

  768. there is a mind and there's a heart. There's a

  769. belly in the the brain. Your brain will continue to question,

  770. but your belly must be at peace. Your brain will

  771. continue to ask why, how, who are where the money

  772. is coming from? And I tell you what, There's something

  773. that works insider that surpasses understanding one. So let's look

  774. at heart faith versus head faith. Head faith has really

  775. no power because it moves nothing. You can think that

  776. that the cows come Homer. Nothing is moved, no results.

  777. Head faith says, I know, pastor I know, but actually

  778. inside you don't know. You get this. I know how

  779. to do this. One plus one is two two plas

  780. two is four. I know, I know, I know. Right,

  781. your faith is in your head, but inside you don't

  782. have the peace. You're still scared. You with me, everything

  783. is is like a termol hell right, you won't see results,

  784. but there are days are where your hate is still questioning.

  785. But your heart says, I know, do you get this.

  786. I'll do it again for you as you understand that

  787. hate might say I know, Heart say I don't know.

  788. I don't really know. You know. Sometimes you take people away,

  789. say you say I know in the meeting, the Christian meeting,

  790. and you say I know, I know, Okay, let's do it,

  791. say but I'm not sure. But in front of everyone.

  792. Now he's talking Christian talk. Yes God can, Yes, God

  793. is great. Yes that's something impossible. Yes, yes, you know

  794. hate man. I was like, oh no, I don't think so.

  795. But the other way around, you got your hat saying

  796. I don't know, I don't know why I know, and

  797. I know that I know, I know, I know, I know,

  798. I know if I if I don't do this, I

  799. can't sleep well. Now, how many have you ever been

  800. there before? God told you something and then you don't

  801. want to do it because your behavi is just really

  802. messing you up. And then you go in your car.

  803. Maybe he said, give fifty ring gearbare to the offering

  804. back maybe oh lie, And then you look around, Yeah,

  805. this church looks so rich. I saw pastor driving a

  806. big car. So your hate going on? Okay, So you

  807. made up your mind you will not obey. And then

  808. you're when you're when you're going away, driving your car,

  809. going back, falling asleep at home. You can't sleep because

  810. he's still going on. He's not going on here, it's

  811. going on here. Why did I say? Why did I

  812. do it? Why did I pray for my friend before

  813. she left? Now? No, I can't pray for her anymore.

  814. It's like, yeah, you think it's here, it's here. So

  815. the way forward is if you want to see greater

  816. things in your life, you got to ask God. God

  817. help me with the belly fade. Because I've been relying

  818. on my brain too much. I've been trying to decipher.

  819. I've been trying to understand, and yet the Bible keeps

  820. telling me you don't lean on your own. The bottom

  821. few words, it's not because we've thought through things that

  822. things happen. You think I thought through ex Melbourne, I

  823. didn't think true. In fact, sometimes that it is because

  824. we didn't think true. If I ask a person and

  825. a person can answer me all the questions I get

  826. scared of because they thought through so much, then they

  827. want to do is taken away faith. I like to

  828. hear people go like, I don't know why I think

  829. it won't work out, but you don''t know why. It's

  830. stirring inside. I'm not showing it. Somebody about I cried.

  831. They're talking about here. Your brain doesn't make you cry easily,

  832. and people don't touch your brain, and then you cry

  833. people that your heart and you cry. God moves you know.

  834. The Bible says that Samuel the Prophet said to well,

  835. God said to Samuel the prophet, man look at the

  836. outward appearance. God looks at the heart. He's always after

  837. the So it's okay to have one or two questions

  838. in your brain. Make sure that your heart moves with God.

  839. Can I give you another Greek word? This one? I

  840. don't care. I can't remember the Greek word, sorry, because

  841. it's just coming back to my memory. Do you know

  842. what compassion is in the Greek? The meaning of compassion,

  843. You know, when Jesus was very tired and then he

  844. still was able to minister to the people because he

  845. had compassion on it as sheep without a shepherd. The

  846. word compassion in the Greek is movement of bowels. That's

  847. that's the exact meaning of compassion means, sir, you cannot

  848. but do something. How many of you are the last

  849. time you had a movement of bowels? Very better? Now?

  850. Little bit, little bit, right now, I feel like it's

  851. coming out. Feel like it's coming out. You can sit

  852. the han, sit the hand, then go home and sit

  853. on your toilet and go for it. Right. But some

  854. of us in this room, you know, all of us

  855. are have all experienced the movement of the bowels where

  856. you cannot hand anymore. It's not even speaking to you,

  857. and you're moving sideways in your chair trying to use

  858. your muscle right down there to cary ho ho ho.

  859. No matter how dirty the toilet, you will still go,

  860. you will still go. I've been to some toilets before

  861. the total So the tea you went back, you better,

  862. I think when it come out now as the opener,

  863. no no, no, pas, the can let's go home. I'm

  864. just saying, I'm just saying compassion. The word Greek movement

  865. of bowels means you cannot but do something about it.

  866. People can offer you what you steak, but when your

  867. stomach is growling with having to go to toilet, the

  868. wu steak will be a curse more than a blessing. Yes,

  869. I'm telling you seriously. That's why Jesus couldn't but minister

  870. even though he was tired physically, because when you're moved,

  871. you see a beggar at the street in your mind.

  872. My mother, my mother told me, I don't trust these

  873. fellows all are because you know they're probably packing the

  874. bmre blue at the back. You know, uh, you know,

  875. I know, don't try, don't tryst okay, don't tries. Don't tries,

  876. don't try, don't trust right you try away? You try away?

  877. Now your brain has told you don't. My mother told

  878. me do My teacher told me door, my grandfather told me, don't.

  879. Everybody told me don don't. Don't believe it's for us. Ah,

  880. you give the firing it and then spoke. Many will

  881. told you that day. I don't know why you turn

  882. back and stick give their firing it. Yeah, it's always

  883. here that turns you back, isn't it. We need that,

  884. and God will give it to you because He will

  885. speak to your inner most being. The Holy Spirit is there.

  886. He's the one stirring with me when you move in

  887. that way. I'm telling you right now, almost everything, if

  888. not everything that I've ever seen in God as a

  889. miracle as a testimony, has always been here. Never. Oh

  890. so sorry, some of you may be watching or hearing

  891. on the audio. I just pointed to my stomach. Faith

  892. must come out from the belly. And I tell you

  893. go to any restaurant, it's always more expensive as sashimi

  894. raw fish. One is firing in they are one fifteen.

  895. Why belly. The belly always has more value. Did I

  896. just make you hungry? God will move you and you

  897. need to move with God. God will move you, and

  898. you need to move with God. Christianity is hard faith.

  899. I know how you're look at your watches because it's

  900. almost time to go. But bury me for a woman,

  901. because I only speak here once every two years. But

  902. if you have to go, just stand up and go

  903. in and come back. Okay. Christianity is heart faith. Christianity

  904. has never been mind faith. And those who come to

  905. Christianity with their brain, you see them backslide easily. Huh.

  906. When problem come, trouble come, they're gone. They're the first

  907. one to go, because it's never gone deeper with me,

  908. all of you in this room, I pray that you

  909. did not come to crisis because you know somebody gave

  910. you a lollipop and did not. I pray you don't

  911. don't come to crisis because you know there was a

  912. big concert somewhere and you moved by emotions, came up

  913. with your friends, and then accept the Christ. And then

  914. later on when the first sign of trouble, you are

  915. the first one to go. It's always been. Belly is

  916. a heart. Faith is a belly faith James one six

  917. to eight. Let him ask in faith with no doubting.

  918. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea,

  919. driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that

  920. man suppose he will receive anything. Wow, that strong words

  921. from the Lord. Why he's a double minded man? How

  922. do you become a double minded man? When your mind

  923. thinks something, your heart think something else. Right, you need

  924. to after a while align it, ask God for help.

  925. Next one, Okay, I'm going to draw to my last leap.

  926. Believe in your heart. You need to believe. Number two,

  927. Coness with your mouth. I only have got two points.

  928. The rest is all just to convince you that what

  929. I'm saying is true. Confess with your mouth now. Believe

  930. in the heart that it's a really difficult for some

  931. of you. But I want to say to you that

  932. confess with your mouth is something that all of you

  933. know that you don't do enough. You don't. I say

  934. you don't do enough. We know why because I don't

  935. do enough. Confess with your mouth. Let's read the word

  936. of God, so Jesus said to them, because of your unbelief,

  937. that's why you couldn't cast out the spirit of epilepsy.

  938. For surely. I say to you, if you have faith

  939. as a must seed, small muster see you will say

  940. to this mountain, move from here to there, and you

  941. will move and nothing will be impossible for you. What

  942. do you do with a mountain? I asked the eight

  943. am the same question, and about half of them say,

  944. move it. Wow Am movie No. I said, thank you

  945. for that answer, but before you can move it, that

  946. you need to speak to it. So the Bible says

  947. very clearly, you will say two day's mountain and then

  948. only moves. A lot of us are standing in front

  949. of our mountainer and wish, I wish one day, I

  950. wish one day, I wish one day. Do you know

  951. that before one day can come, day one has to happen,

  952. and day one is today. You start speaking to your

  953. situation for years and years, do you know, friends, I

  954. don't want to start again now. But I come from

  955. a broken family. I don't have a mom since I

  956. was one year old. Means that I haven't been calling

  957. anybody mommy. Your young people, please don't take it for granted, mommy, mommy, mommy,

  958. because it was so natural. I never got to call

  959. anybody mummy because my mom and my father divorced, had won.

  960. My father was a drug edict for thirty years. What

  961. you see today is by the grace of God. And

  962. you know why some of us may not end up

  963. in the fullness that God has worse because we keep

  964. allowing people to say you are good for nothing. Who

  965. do you think you are? You're from a broken home.

  966. What you will understand, You're from a poor family. You

  967. are so poor. I'm telling you I was actually an

  968. illegal immigrant, not for fifteen years of my life. You

  969. know how how it happened. So my father went to

  970. Singapore to try to confront my mother. My mother already

  971. has a new boyfriend, and she introduced a new boyfriend

  972. to my father. His name was Bernard. I tell you

  973. that some lady's never learned, so so a Burner meet Bernard.

  974. Of course, my father's show name is Mike Bernie, as

  975. for most of you know him as Mike Bernie, the

  976. manager of Sudirman and all that kind of okay, So

  977. my Bernie is his famous Malaysian name, but Bernard Chin

  978. is his real name. Bernard met Bernard. So my father said,

  979. if you really want to leave me, give me your children.

  980. I want my children back now. My father didn't even

  981. know how it's going to take care, wisdom, drug, edding,

  982. no job. And my mother willingly gave because her new

  983. boyfriend said, I don't want anything to do with your past,

  984. because you can't imagine a mother giving up her children.

  985. But she wanted a new life. She didn't. They want

  986. to go back to my father. Here you go, this

  987. is your daughter and here is also your son. The

  988. daughter one he knows because before my mother left, she

  989. was pregnant with me, but he never knew she was pregnant.

  990. She went to Singapore after after eight months, you know,

  991. she was pregnant for one month. After eight months, gave

  992. birth to me. My father never knew who's this boy.

  993. Thank god, today people look at me and said, he

  994. you look like my Bernina, you know, Hallelah, Praise God.

  995. Otherwise I couldn't come up from the rubbish dumb listen.

  996. I can go on there on illegal immigrant means that

  997. all the top schools that was coming my way. My

  998. father said no, no, no, no no, I if you go to

  999. top school at the first school that was offered to

  1000. me was Saint John's top school before Saint John's. All

  1001. the top guys go there, and no way you know

  1002. where I ended up Passard School. There's something you was there? Yeah,

  1003. see you made you made my life? You know worse

  1004. I thought by nowady? You know Passado School? No, no, no, okay,

  1005. it's gay, but Passarow School. You know why because nobody

  1006. goes to Passado School. So hi his son there? Why

  1007. Why couldn't he he gave me to be legitimate because

  1008. he has to take me back to Singapore staying my

  1009. passport every six months and for a drug eddic who

  1010. did him money? He couldn't, So I was no longer

  1011. going back to Singapore. Didn't get my passports stamp every

  1012. six months. You get your passport stamer to come back

  1013. into Malaysia. I didn't get it. Stand for fifteen years,

  1014. I always had to be in hiding, scared of some

  1015. officer coming and my dad. So I can go on

  1016. and on and tell you this sad. Sorry, I tell

  1017. you what the Lord is saying. You can make up

  1018. your own destiny. Don't allow these mountains to remain in

  1019. your life. Don't stand there. Oh woe it's me. You

  1020. don't understand most careful. Hello, the Word of God says,

  1021. stand in front of your mountain, and don't wish. Please,

  1022. don't wish. I wish you you know, I wish you know,

  1023. in front of a birthday cake. And no you're not

  1024. talking about this wish. Just don't wish. Don't even cry,

  1025. don't even worry. Jesus say, is how many of you

  1026. will worry and change all your destiny? No way. You

  1027. stand in front of your mountain and you speak, and

  1028. you don't settle for second best from the Lord. You don't.

  1029. You trust in the Lord, You depend on him, you

  1030. allow him to sometimes. I think the trouble is we

  1031. speak to our mountains, but it doesn't happen. Don't be

  1032. God of time. The timing must be the Lord's. He

  1033. will do everything in his own. He will make all

  1034. things beautiful in his time. You speak it, and you

  1035. leave the rest to him speaking, leave the rest everybody. Okay,

  1036. we don't confess enough. But how does salvation come on fashion?

  1037. None of you can wish for salvation? You speak it

  1038. into being, You believe in your heart and you speak.

  1039. Is this okay? Because I think some of us got

  1040. some homework to do today. Maybe your parents aren't safe yet.

  1041. I got a friend who spoke into his parents' abvision,

  1042. you know how. He told me later and this was

  1043. very close to my heart because the man that came

  1044. to know the Lord, he was my head master and

  1045. I was so naughty in school. I will visit the

  1046. principal's officer once a month, and he promoted her to

  1047. seventeen stripes. After the seventeen stripe bar he had no

  1048. more Strengthy, this is Kenneth you again. Why can't you

  1049. be a good boy at Kenneth? Okay hand right hand

  1050. bam bam bam bam bam, five strokes, couse pinity, left

  1051. hand bam bam bam, five more strokes. Pay turn around,

  1052. but talks my life growing up? No father, no mother,

  1053. didn't know how to get attention. Maybe right. This same

  1054. headmaster who whagg became a Christian after that? Huh why

  1055. because his children, who are my friends living in Melbourne

  1056. now every night, before the parents fall asleep, they speak

  1057. to the pillow pillow when my dad lays his head

  1058. on you, I want you to speak to him with you.

  1059. I don't know who he taught him out the brainer

  1060. because we know what I don't know whether dad's gonna

  1061. drink coffee or that's gonna drink tea. I don't rebody's

  1062. gonna use this cap or that cap. I don't nobody's

  1063. gonna drink drive his car or that car. But every night,

  1064. same pillow. So rogers Yaw told me Kenneth. Every night

  1065. me and my sister lay hands with the pillow and

  1066. say give them dreams of Jesus. Speak to pillow a friend,

  1067. what geologies is? It's just faith, simple childlike faith. God

  1068. wants them save. God wants my parents save more than

  1069. I want them to say. I'm gonna start speaking instead

  1070. of they will never come to know the lot one

  1071. now past it. You're also speaking but negative negative negative.

  1072. You're speaking against your parents are vision they will never

  1073. come puss it. You don't understand my parents is you know,

  1074. very staunge whatever, they go to the temple you six

  1075. times a week. In fact, there was another guy. His

  1076. father was the chairman of the temple, and he was

  1077. told the same thing, just speak speak Okay, I know

  1078. my time is up. Did you get me? Let's way

  1079. some for the tree was five? Why are you cast down?

  1080. Oh my soul? You know the scripture? You know, Christian

  1081. can also be down this courage, I hope not depressed,

  1082. but Christian can also be depressed. Shouldn't be like know

  1083. because if Jesus is leaving you or you shouldn't be depressed.

  1084. But anyway, let's just say that your worst case scenario.

  1085. You're depressed, your cast down? Why are you disquieted within me?

  1086. He says the next line, hope in God, for I

  1087. shall yet praise him the help of my countenance and

  1088. my God. You know what what the help of countenance mean.

  1089. Let's say your continence right now, and look at you are.

  1090. You're not smiling, You're read it? Okay, everybody on this Okay, countenance,

  1091. try to do that, Try to do it. Okay. He

  1092. is the help of your countenance. He comes and there

  1093. he helps you. He lifts you up. It is the

  1094. best facial lifting that anybody can ever ask for. He

  1095. is the help of my countenance without him with him,

  1096. without him with him. But before you can get there,

  1097. even though times are bad, I can still smile because

  1098. He makes me smile. But before I can get there,

  1099. the Bible says, why are you cast down? Or my

  1100. soul cast down? Disappointed? Discourage? Next line, why are you

  1101. disquieted within me? You know what discouragement does to you

  1102. and me? He causes uth to be silent. The devil

  1103. wants to rob your praise. He wants to rob your thanksgiving.

  1104. He wants to rob you in such a way. Why

  1105. you stop talking? Have you seen people very bubbly? Wing? Oh? Sadly?

  1106. You see them? Hey, Kenneth, what's the way, Kenneth? How

  1107. are you okay? Hey? Why are you so frustrated? Who's

  1108. that a frustrated? They don't be so angry at who's

  1109. that angry? You know what he's he's he's confirming everything.

  1110. Have you seen your bubbly friend just unbubbly. It happens

  1111. to all of us. It just shuts us up because

  1112. that enemy wants to take our power away. Some of

  1113. you could be in your marriage. She could be like,

  1114. really frustrated with your spouse. Before that, you're talking, Hey, Siam,

  1115. help me out with the bait. Ba Hey, Siam, help

  1116. me out with the clothes and bead, Hey, dear, help

  1117. me out with children. After a while, you get so frustrated.

  1118. I don't want to say yeah, have you been ever?

  1119. I don't talk. I say no, no, no, use right,

  1120. and then and then when you start being quiet, your

  1121. marriage starts going. After a while, the husband wife don't

  1122. even know each other anymore. So I tell young couples,

  1123. I ready you argue with a ready you argue, then

  1124. to give silent treatment, because when you argue sometimes you

  1125. get to understand each other a little bit more. And

  1126. then finally when you finish, you go like, oh, okay, sorry, dear,

  1127. Oh sorry, I didn't know that you were hurting. I

  1128. didn't know that you were upset when I did that

  1129. or when I said this, you talk. Okay. I don't

  1130. have enough time. Maybe i'll end with one two slides

  1131. and then I'll be done. There's seven more sides. I'll

  1132. do it. There's just two more. If believing is the electricity, ian,

  1133. can you can you help me with that? Who's helping

  1134. with that? Okay? Slide number one hundred and slide number

  1135. twenty eighty eight. If believing is the electricity, confession is

  1136. the switch. So how many of you know are when

  1137. you go off his room, you turn off all the lights,

  1138. You turn off all the lights. The lights are off.

  1139. Now do you know that the electricity is still running?

  1140. The power is still moving behind the walls. This is

  1141. what God is. He never stops loving you, He never

  1142. stops caring for you, he never stops interceding for you.

  1143. He never stops being for you, not against you. You're

  1144. with me right now. You're all here. Do you know

  1145. that your house there, electricity is to moving behind the

  1146. walls is going You mean just because you turn off

  1147. the light, the electricy stop then be suddenly shut down. No, No,

  1148. God's power is flowing, flowing, flowing. Confession releases the power.

  1149. It's a switch that when you come in here your

  1150. words hold that one, turn on the switchland, Oh how

  1151. did that happen? Lectricity hits the bout on and many

  1152. Christians who go around who don't know how to turn

  1153. on their switch, blessing, asking for forgiveness, praying for somebody.

  1154. Mouth must be open, so it just it just does

  1155. something amazing. It's called a contact point. And confession has

  1156. to work together with belief. The next light just says,

  1157. don't just believe, confess, don't just believe cornfess. Last one

  1158. is this faith comes by hearing and hearing by a

  1159. word of God Romans ten seventeen. This is my last one,

  1160. because that's all the time we have faith comes by

  1161. hearing and hearing by the word of God. Okay, so

  1162. you say to me, pastor, you just gave us two keys,

  1163. belief and confess, believe and confess. It looks like you

  1164. have to start with believe in first and then confess

  1165. true true. But sometimes the belief is not strong enough,

  1166. so you have to learn to confess until you believe.

  1167. That's why when you look back in Romans ten, Romans

  1168. ten says it starts first with the mouth, and then

  1169. it goes with the heart, and then it says for

  1170. in the lext line, and with the heart one believes

  1171. unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

  1172. It actually shows me if you read it back again

  1173. when you go home, that he started with the heart,

  1174. then goes through the mouth, and then he starts with

  1175. the mouth and then goes with the heart. That means

  1176. that it can be either. It depends on what you need.

  1177. So sometimes we don't feel it, but we also don't

  1178. speak it. The Christian way of doing it is to

  1179. speak even when you don't feel. God. I can't feel it,

  1180. but you're good God. I'm not healed. In fact, I'm

  1181. in pain. But you're still my healer. Do you understand God,

  1182. I'm broke, so broke that I think you're borrowing money

  1183. from my friends, But you are my provider, you know. God,

  1184. I'm I'm lost and confused, but you are the shepherd

  1185. that leads me. And you be in a confess because

  1186. there were many times when I myself did not have

  1187. enough juice inside here, and I had to preach to myself.

  1188. That's why yours should never ever unnecessarily miss church, because

  1189. when you come, there's preaching that goes on, and when

  1190. the Word of God goes forward, you get to hear.

  1191. And what happens is that faith comes by hearing. Means

  1192. you start to believe in your heart as you hear.

  1193. See that. That was very cunning. And I'm going to

  1194. do this one more minute and then I'm going to close.

  1195. That was very cunning. He wants you to feel it

  1196. and then do it right. And the Bible says if

  1197. we don't go by feelings, we go by faith.
