What Does God Hear? | Pr Sandra Chin

You're listening to a message to go from axt church. We hope this message

will light up your tea. I just want to share this word with you.

And I have a question starting with a question, and here we go.

All right, okay, question? Do you think God hears? Can

he hear? Does he have yours? Yes? Only Elder Rose believes God

can hear? Anybody else? Yes? Amen? Praise God, give me

say amen that he here? So my question is does God here? Does

God here? Amen? So? What does God here? WHOA? What

does he hear? All right? I want to encourage you. I want

to encourage you this morning. God heres, But I want to give you

the keys so that you can unlock that which if it's locked for you,

you're gonna unlock it because you want to know that God hears. I think

he has ears as being like the elephant, because he can hear all of

us. He made the universe. Oh, he made the earth, and

yet he cares about you, hey, eleen. He knows your name,

and he knows where you're working. Oh he knows your address, and man,

God knows, why would he be mindful of you and me? Were

so tiny? You know, the earth is so small in the whole universe.

But God knows your name because he hears you. And I want to

tell you who does he hear? What does he hear? So that if

we wan sure, I want you to be very sure today, Amen.

And so what does God hear? So very quickly I'm gonna bring you through

some thoughts for you. He hears the cry of the righteous. All right?

How many righteous are in the house this morning? WHOA all right?

The moment you receive Jesus, you have been made righteous. When you have

faith in Jesus, you have been made righteous. He clothes you with his

robe of righteousness. That's why it's never about us. We can come to

the Lord even if you're messed out. Live in my feel I just let

God down today. I wanll to say to you, come to him and

he will come to you. Come to the throne room of grace. And

he is the one who forgives us. He is the one who gives us,

you know, a new life. Amen. And I will to say

that he hears the crib the writeous some thirty four p. Thirty four,

Verse fifteen and seventeen. So we're going to just look at the scripture.

You can turn to your bible. Does anybody bring a bible anymore? All

right, bring your Bible, whether it's an e Bible or a print bible,

bring your Bible. And you know, if you're not carrying your Bible

to your office, which you should, and then then that's a become a

talking point. What is that on your table? Bible? What's the Bible?

You can tell her, Oh, it's God's love letter. But you

know, whatever it is. Turned to your bibles if you have, and

I've got the verse there some thirty four verse fifteen seventeen XDV. Thank you

also for helping. But you can also write the notes down. You know,

last time when I when I was young and used to go to church,

we used to take notes a lot. I have loads of notes book

notebooks because I would take notes down. So now you got your hindphone,

can take type notes in and some take notes. So take notes is good?

Short pencil yeah, yeah. Do you don't have a long memory,

yeah, it's good. It's better. It's better to take the notes down,

yeah, so that you can remember. And that's how we grow,

amen and learn and remind ourselves. Because the holies we were bringing to remembrance

all things that you are learning today. So what does God hear? I

wanna tell you the cry of the righteous Some thirty four, verse fifteen.

Some thirty four and verse fifteen says, the eyes of the Lord are on

the righteous. Once again, the eyes are of the Lord are on the

and his ears are open to there. I think you do better than that.

The eyes of the Lord are on the oh, Amen, and the

ears and his ears are open to the verse seventeen, the righteous cry out,

and the Lord, oh, and the Lord and delivers them out of

all that. Praise the Lord, hallelujah. Are you in trouble? Okay?

No, why should you be in trouble? But sometimes we are in

trouble. I get in trouble all the time. Yeah, because I'm so

loud. Okay, all right. So when the righteous cry out, the

Lord hears the operative word here is amen, and he delivers them out of

all their troubles. I love the verse here because he's that affirmation that when

the righteous cry out, he hears. And that and then the first verse

in fifteen, he says, the eyes of the Lord on the righteous means

God can not only see, he can here Amen. Remember the Lord hears

you, all right. He hears the cry of the righteous, and if

you are the righteous of the Lord, he hears you, amen, and

he delivers us from a all our troubles. I just have to encourage you

that it's true he will. During the time of pandemic, I mean,

just went through a very very difficult time, went through a time where yeah,

someone was really really upset with me for whatever reason and just blasted me

with many, many words that was very, very hurting. And I was

keep asking, Holy Spirit, what do I say? The Holy Spirit is

nothing. Didn't give me anything, so I couldn't say anything. I just

quiet, not gonna maa, not gonna maraa. And then and every day

there will be just terrible words cast at me. And you know, I

cried out to the Lord. As a child of God, I cried out,

and this was another child of God who was calling me. But I

cried out to the Lord and just say, Lord, I don't know what

to do, Please help me, you know. And and later I felt

it was just an onslaught of the enemy, just the spiritual world warfare coming

against me, coming against my husband and me. And I said, no,

I'm gonna take authority in Jesus' name, I'm gonna cry out as a

righteous lord if I'm wrong, and where I was wrong, I apologize.

I didn't just say sorry, I said please forgive me for things I think

I didn't do or did. I just ask, And I cried out to

the Lord. I tell you, God delivers us from our trouble. If

ever you're in trouble, any trouble, you cry out to the Lord.

All right, where you're in trouble with the police because you took the wrong

turn, okay, oh whatever, you cry out to the Lord. A

man, you do what you did to do what is right. But sometimes

you feel helpless. Cry out to the Lord. He hears the cry of

the righteous. Encouragement number one. You are the righteous of the Lord.

Cry out to the Lord. Stop crying out to your boyfriend. He's just

a man, he has no special powers. You can cry out to your

friend, your Tan's three friend. No, can't do much more. You

cry out. You just cry out to the Lord first. Then you go

and tell your friend. But cry out to the Lord. I tell you,

he really really is the one who delivers us from our troubles. Amen,

you know you are the righteous. Come on, tell your neighbor you

are the righteous of the Lord. Yeah, tell you other neighbor, you

are the righteous of the Lord. Amen. Yes. When you say yes

to Jesus and to come into your life, he makes you righteous because sin

separates us from God, who can save us from our sins. Only Jesus,

Only Jesus. He went to the cross, went to the grave.

The grave couldn't even take him because he was just sinless. And up from

the grave, Heroes, he's the resurrected King, the resurrected Lord. That's

why we have the opportunity, we have the right of way to live righteous

before the Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen, I ain't gonna let you

go. Amen, jeordge god on, Uncle Ben, give me a big

amen. Amen, Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. Okay, number two,

what's the next? Encouraged not only the crowd the righteous, but those who

fear the Lord. He hears your prayer. Oh, fear the Lord.

Now fear the Lord doesn't mean like, okay, not that kind of fear,

but the honor, honor the Lord. Honor the Lord. Do the

right thing. Those who do the right thing. He hears your prayer.

Some one four five and verse nineteen, Some one four five and verse nineteen,

and it says here he will fulfill the desire of those who fear him.

He will fulfill the desire those who fear him. He will He also

will hear their cry and save them. Our friends, come on, just

be honest if you reflect today, what do you need help from God?

What is it that you are going through? It could be your work,

It could be a discipline issue, it could be a habitual problem. What

is it? He says here the fear of the Lord, those who fear

the Lord? Do you fear the Lord? Meaning you honor the Lord?

You want to do the right thing? He will hear your cry and save

you. Ah leluyah. He will fulfill the desires of those who fear him.

Are we doing the right thing? Are we wanting to do right before

the Lord? Do we have an honor for God? Not scared of God?

Not that kind of fear? Honor the Lord. When you honor the

Lord, he hears your cry because you're his child. Amen. So I

want to encourage your friends. Where does it all begain fear the Lord.

Fear the Lord means to honor the Lord, to do the right thing.

Come on, guys, and I think a lot of us know how to

do the right thing. That's whether we want to do the right thing.

That's another thing, a lot of things. Okay, let's do the right

thing, because I want to encourage us. That who hears the Lord,

who hears, he hears the righteous. He hears those who fear the Lord.

Thirdly, he also hears those who call upon him in truth. Amen,

in truth and just transparency and truth, in honesty. The Lord hears

those who call upon him in truth. It's just some one for five and

verse eighteen. The verse above, he says, the Lord is near to

all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in true he

is near. Amen, Halla tell you all the name. But he is

near to you. He is near to you. He's in your face right

now. You are seated here. You think no one's looking at you except

me. But the Lord is before you. He is omnipresent. He is

present everywhere, and he hears you when you worship him, And he loves

you when you worship him, and he's looking at you, and say,

give me more. I love you, And you can say I think very

badly. No, it's okay, you can sing. Amen. Yeah,

we don't like your voice, but God, you can sing out of tune.

But He's in your face. That's what worship means. God is in

our face, waiting for your praises, waiting for your praises. And God

is the one who hears those who call upon him in truth. Amen.

And truth just means telling the truth. And you know. In John chapter

four, verse twenty two, twenty three says what kind of worshippers is God

looking for? He's looking for worshippers worship him in spirit and in truth.

There is truth there again, So there is a transparency before the Lord,

honest before the Lord. When you come and seek the Lord. No.

Daily, when you pray and you really have an issue with someone, you

just tell it Lord, I have jealousy problem. I are jealous of John.

He can make kombucha. I cahn't why loa all right? You tell

it as it is. Rather, I'm bitter because I feel this exemple my

best friend she did very well. Tell her because you're bitter, right,

you behave funny with your friend. Run Yeah, just that you cover up,

and covering up is not part of God's way. He doesn't want us

to cover up. He covers us sin by washing us with his blood.

But we are not to cover our sin by our own white ways, but

open before the Lord. And I've learned this the hard way. I lied

to my mom, not yesterday, but some time ago. And you know,

I I I was was, I was from six I think it was

eighteen or nineteen. And then and then and then my boyfriend asked me go

out and watch movies. When watch movie? And then I told my friend

and with my best friend and then my MoMA, I think his mom and

stingler. Okay, teenagers do not lie to your mom. They know the

Lord speaks to them. I don't know why, but they the Lord speaks

to them. And and and and I came home then said so, where

were you? I was the library And then the face cannot and then,

uh, nope, you weren't in the library. And she said, I

called so and so my best friend, and she told me you went out

with so and so. Whoa all hell broke loose? Yeah, yeah,

yeah yeah. I never lied again, never lied again ever, because the

face cannot lie. And then and then mother wouldn't forgive me because I lied

to her and the brother was in the same church with us as well.

So just hated the guys, cass. She hated every boy that dates me,

like you didn't like my husband to be o sola like just because they

dated me. You know, I don't know. May Mom didn't want me

to marry forever and U. So I'm telling you she was so mad with

me. I never could lie again. And you know, I went to

the Lord, and the Lord spoke to me from some fifty one. He

says, you sin, Yes, I sin, lot, I sin.

And then he said, no, you sin not only against your mom,

but you sin against me. You were not truthful, not to Mom but

to me. Whoa was hard. I was a young Christian. But the

Lord spoke that worked to me as us reading and then and then the Lord

taught me step by step to seek his forgiveness and to come back to the

lot. And then God restored me. Mom took a long time to forgive

me. I did go and say finally, you know, I see the

Lord and said Mom, sorry. She didn't answer me. You know,

she didn't talk to me for over a long time. Yeah, now she's

talking to me because I'm grandma Agent, She's great grandmother aged, so she

has to talk to me. All right, So I got you. Just

call on the lot in truth. Don't hide from the Lord. Okay,

nobody knows what you did last summer, but God knows. All right,

all right, listen, nobody knows. But if you're gonna come to Jesus,

I tell you he received you as you are. But you just be

honest, you just I'm sorry I I did this. M Nobody knows,

but God does. So if you are as a child of God, feel

like so er. But you come and you tell God honestly, he immediately

forgives. That is the mercy of God, that is the kindness of this

God. And Jesus, I am so grateful for forgiveness because you might not

forgive me. You might not forgive me. And King David knew that.

That's why he never he could. He said, And God said, how

am I gonna judge you? Now? I give you one? Two three?

He answered, neh bh, No, lod you deal with me.

I don't want the kings and the people to deal with me, because when

you deal with me, God, you are very merciful. And God truly

was merciful. I'll tell you, God will be the first one to forgive

you. Mom might not forgive you, friend, might not forgive you.

Your nation, might not forgive you. But God forgives you first. Yes,

Amen, thank God for that. Even if we murdered someone, you

go to jail. Even in jail. How many times my father has been

to the prison, not because he was the one who caused the death.

He went to minister the people, and he tells me how many times people

who have done so much, but they come to receive Christ. He says,

God forgives them. The law will not forgive us the consequences, but

they know the eternity that that's forgiven him. To repent law, Then what

to do consequences have There are consequences from your actions, so you have to

deal with the law. But the Lord is the one who hears the cry

of those who call upon him. In truth, the Lord hears, I

just want you to know and have these keys so that you will always turn

to Jesus no matter what happens. He hears you people, men will not

forget you. See how we never forget David. Right, he said,

every time you say King David, Goliath and Bathsheba, Goliave and Basheba what

the baf men right, So we will not forget people see right. So

there's human nature in our sin nature and our fallen nature. We will always

think of the worst thing, right instead of thinking of the best thing of

the person, and that is our flesh sight. But if we walk in

the spirit, then we think of we tried to remember what God did?

This did this? This person has transformed the life. God has transformed.

So call upon him in truth. Friends, if you're going to call upon

the lot, call upon him in truth. So many times when I suppose

something's happened to me and I say, I was very bad. First thing

I do? I have to search myself? I say, God, have

I seen again? Am I hiding something in my heart? Is it?

Is it jealousy? Is it insecurity? Is it? You know? What's

evil that I'm going through? This? Our repent first? Uh? It

is lot. I want to repent first. I want to come before God

in truth, not covering up my own sin, because I can't. Only

the blood of Jesus can. So, friends, be encouraged. Number four

and five coming up for Mark seven, Mark chapter seven, verse twenty six

thirty Mark chapter seven, verse twenty six and thirty. Now, this is

a story you've probably heard many times. This is about the syrioh Phonician woman,

this Greek woman, and she Jesus actually came into this region. He

entered a house. Okay, this is Mark chapter seventh, verse twenty six,

but verse twenty four to twenty five says that Jesus entered the town.

He entered, you know, trying to take a breaker. When you minister

for a long, long, long, long days, sometimes you just need

a break. But somebody was watching him. It was a Syrophenician woman who

had a problem, who had a challenge. Her daughter was being really just

with an unfilled with an unclean spirit, disturbed by an unclean spirit, and

not maybe who knows whether the daughter was manifesting. Maybe the daughter couldn't sleep,

maybe the daughter couldn't eat, was having different problems. And this mom,

no, I won't speak to the moms here, and the moms will

understand you. This mom was desperate. She needed to see a breakthrough for

a child. And I tell you, any mom in this room you will

understan Then this mom's heart, she fell at the feet of Jesus. She

hid it. He's like hit it, probably to rest, and she like

falling to his feet and said, Lord Lord. In verse twenty six,

the woman she kept begging him to cast out the demon from her daughter,

the unclean spirit. You know what Pastor Jesus said, you might have gotten

angry and changed church. Okay, listen what he said. Verse twenty seven.

He said, let the children be filled first, for it is not

good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs. Okay,

children in his context was the Jews. She was not a Jew,

she was a Greek. She was a gentile. So he said, hey,

I'm here to feed the Jews. So he's just putting out a challenge.

Word. You just say, hey, you're asking me, but you

don't even believe in me in that sense, you don't follow the faith.

So he says, so I came to feed the children, and uh,

and then and then and then, and he says, it is not good

that I take the children's bread and give it to the little dogs. Now,

any of you, if you've ever studied Shakespeare, you're a literature student

in Shakespeare. When you do the Merchant of Venice, the Jewish guy,

the money lender Shylock, he tells them you are dogs. When I first

read it, I'm like rude man, I had no idea about the Jewish

culture. But then I studied it and said that most Jews think they are

the upper class, and then everybody else are dogs. This is cultural thing.

Okay, don't get angry, don't get angry. But massa Jesus was

just telling this. This is a mom, and any mom here will know

when you're a child is sick, when your child needs the doctor, when

your child needs to be admitted, you will. Or if your child is

stuck under a car, you will lift that car. You will lift it

up. You will not let go you because she said this is what she

said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat

from the children's crumbs. Whoa her faith, her faith filled desperate cry,

because she said, I don't care. I want the crumbs right Any mom

here, when your child is sick, I don't care. You better open

your clinic now because my child is sick. You will bang down that door

because your child is sick, Your child needs to go back to school,

your child needs something. Any mom, and we know that mom. When

the child was stuck under a mom actually lifted the car to save her child.

I tell you the spirit of a man woman in desperation will do all

that they can because their child is not well. So she said, I

don't care. Just give me the crumbs, baby, Just give me the

crumbs, because even then my favor is I've heard that you heal, and

I'm desperate that my child gets delivered from this demon. And he's just amazed,

like he goes like whoa woman? Whoo? She just whipped me all

right, And she said, and the Lord said to her for this,

saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.

Imagine that. I don't know. Maybe we some of us when we read

the Bible, we just read it like that. You're reading with some expression,

with some feeling. Yeah, imagine if you really I mean, you

know what I tell you. It's so hard when your child is sick,

when your child has an unclean spirit, when your child is special needs,

when your child is beyond you can handle ADHD double times free. You know

how hard it is to manage. That's when the mom or dad will go

like, I need help. So a faith feeled, desperate cry is what

the Lord hears when you when you ask who can forgive me, I won't

tell you Jesus forgives us. When someone wants to be forgiven, they will

cry out and say who they will find everywhere, every God, everything,

every tree they will go to. But I want to tell you Jesus the

one who forgives. And so when we're desperate, we take the crumbs.

Men, we dig the crumbs. That's now we had what's the name Andrea?

I said, Andrea, give me the crumbs. Law you're going to

Italya, Yo, just give me the crumbs so I can have a taste

of Itaila, right, So just crumbs. Right. But there was a

faith fueled, desperate cry. Are you ready for that faith filled desperate cry

when there's a need, Because the Lord hears these are keys. These are

keys for you in your time of greatest need, faithful. And the last

the thought was for this section is Matthew chapter eight, verse five to ten,

and thirteen. This is the Roman centurion, the commander of one hundred

soldiers, the commander of one hundred soldiers. And he's a Roman centurion.

The Jewish nation was ruled and under was under the rule of the Roman Empire.

And so this was a Roman commander, a commander of one hundred centurion,

one hundred soldiers. Why in the world because of one soldier who fell

sick, paralyzed, tormented, one oh ninety nine still got you know,

he has to come and say Jesus, please heal my soldier. And I'm

thinking a one fuller sick. EMC love for today right now, right your

stuff singer, you go EMC. Right, this guy's like Jesus. Nobody

can take nobody. I don't nobody can take emcy. Or he is a

very very good stuff, a very good soldier to lead the team, and

he's so compassionate for his soldier. Or he's just a slave driver. I

don't know. He goes like Jesus, you need to heal my stuff,

all right. He's paralyzed and he's tormented. Hey, when we are sicker,

we are tormented. One. You know the spirit of torment. That's

what you need to take authority in Jesus' name and cast out that torment.

When you have depression, you are tormented, and you cast out that spirit

of torment. Amen, you don't sit there and say yeah, come baby,

come, no, you cast it out in Jesus' name, all right.

Something I feel like I feel the head is going somewhere, the body's

going somewhere now like heck, I'm a child of God. Like wake up

girl and cast that spirit a tall man, how all those words, all

those whatever unwellness cuss it out. And this man couldn't do it because he

didn't know how. But he believed that there was an authority in Jesus.

So he had a faith in the authority of Christ. And so Jesus today

passed. Jesus is very kind. He said, I would come, Jesus,

pastor Jesus today, he said, I'll come. The day the siden

Phoenicians, sorry, I give you the braidler and the crumbson on it.

So today he come, I come, I come. And then he said,

no, you don't need don't need to come. Well, I'm a

man under authority. When I say come, you go, you go,

you come. So Jesus, you just give the word, you speak the

word, you speak the word, Jesus, you don't need to come to

my house. Whoa Jesus said, I've never seen such faith. Because he

understood the power of authority, what it is to walk under the authority of

Christ. And he said, Jesus, you are theory. You just speak

the word. So hallelujah, guys, if you are the writers of the

Lord, if you are walking in is true, if you are doing the

right thing, you speak in the authority of Christ, and you speak that

word of healing into your body. You speak the release of circumstances from the

grips of the enemy. And this is what that man said, Jesus.

You speak the word, so God hears the faith, your faith in the

authority of Christ. You believe, and you say, I have that authority

in Christ. I have faith as to speak God's word. It has to

come about. The healing has to come about, the restoration has to come

about. It may not always take immediate, but there is process. I'm

giving you these keys because important that the Church, that the child of God

and the worry of Christ, needs to know how to break through to know

that God hears your prayer. Imagine, my friends, I was not yet

even a Christian. I was not yet even a Christian when I cried out

for help to Jesus at fourteen years old or fifteen years old. Lord,

I'm in trouble. Nobody can help me. I'm in horrible, horrible trouble.

Lord, I don't know who you are. Jesus. I was told

that day you are the God who helps people, right, and I said,

please help me. I was not yet even a believer. Can you

imagine? But on that day that was my heart faith, feel believe in

authority of Christ. Please help me, and I tell you twenty four hours

God settled the problem. Never again did this thing happen ever again. Not

this person come to trouble me at fifteen? What do I know? What

kind of trouble could you think? Right? Can't tell you? So?

No, I didn't get pregnant, but it was bad enough of trouble.

I said, Lord, save me. I wasn't even a believer in Christ.

But that day the Lord spoke to me. If you believe in God,

believe also in me. Oh Jesus, okay, because he says,

I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can

come to God the Father except through me, and I say, I believe

help me Lord. So the Roman centurion wasn't even a fully believer yet,

but he said, I know your authority. So of church God hears Amen

God here So first John chapter five and verse fourteen to fifteen, says verse

John chapter five, verse fourteen to fifteen says, Now, this is the

confidence that we have in him. Amen. Do you have confidence? Amen?

You gotta believe it. Confidence you are here. You have the confidence

that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. Amen.

And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask, we know

that we have the petitions that we have asked of him. Amen. You

must know that God will take care of this situation. I will tell you

how we have that confidence. So I encourage you in that confidence. Last

year and my dad, the final, the final run with him was that

he the last thing that took him out was that he had four stage spine

cancer out of where I don't know, out of maybe was the liver cancer

whatever, which which God had already taken care of. But suddenly the spine

cancer four stage eaten up the l something L four L five. And they

said that your dad needs radiotherapy. I said okay, and I said how

much? And then it just spit out in the mouth noma like twenty thousand

now, no much explanation. I'm like, I don't have twenty thousand now,

I really don't. I said, give me a week lives. They

said, I give you a week, you think about it. So I

took a week. A week fly very fast. But then there's this confidence

that we have in him. If we ask anything according to his will,

he will hear us. I said, it's possible. I will try and

scrape up the ten cave, but I cannot get another ten cave. Where

will I find it? There is in my mind, But there's this confidence.

There's this this staying confidence that God, you know my dad's need.

And I said, Lord, I serve you, take care of my family,

take care of me, and we've served you all this time. Please

remember us. And you know the twenty thousand came from someone I haven't talked

to for a long time. Then other funds came to help. That's the

confidence that when you ask the Lord, I got no other help. You

know, friend, I don't have a rich uncle. I don't have any

rich uncles rich and tease. I don't have any relatives that will be willing

to give freely lend you or you know. It's very hard, but the

Lord is your close relative, he's your father. God. This is my

confidence that you cry out with a desperate cry, I need to pay this

bill for my dad and the Lord supplied money came in banking for me to

start him on radiotherapy. But a lot to care of it, I'll say

to us. To me, that was a difficulty. Maybe to somebody else

it isn't. But that was my challenge where to find I don't have this

even if I scrape it up, maybe halfler maybe, but where God is

good? Amen, God is good? Do I hear an? Amen?

You have the confidence in Christ? Can you say hallelujah? Amen? Church?

When you go through your most challenging times in your life, I want

to tell you it is all these songs we worship. That's why I tell

the church worship leaders please don't sing songs we cannot repeat again like a million

verses, right, and then sing one time and then don't sing again.

This is so rubbish, right, because we need those songs. We need

to say I walk by faith and not by side. We need to be

able to sing. You know, hey, don't sing a nice song,

raise a hallelujah. My praise is a weapon now the enemy. And then

you only sing it on Sunday. What for the song sung here must be

sung on your Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Not only JAK can sing Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Not only JK.

We believe us, the writers of the launa can sing Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Huh. Jesus works for

me. Jesus works for me because Jesus loves me. Not only JK can

sing songs like that. So come on, young people, stop singing JK.

If you don't know what JK is, don't cook la bts all right,

Yeah, because he sings Monday, Friday, Saturday. We got something

better than JK. I got j C. We got j C on our

side, all right. JK can be on the side j C. First.

Amen, we have this confidence, so encourage you. He hears the

crab, the righteous. He hears those who fear the Lord your heart,

you just want to do right, You honor him. Number three, he

hears those who come to him in truth. Amen. He hears the faith

feel desperate cry? Number five, he hears the faith that you believe is

under the authority of Christ. Faith in the authority of Christ. He hears

Amen. Can I hear? Amen? Are you you got something on your

table, on your plate? You need to go through that. I want

to tell you he hears Let God lead the way for us. Amen.

Then my next question, what else does God hear? Oooo? What else

does the Lord here? What else? Well, I hate to say it,

but he hears your complaints and murmur rings. All right? Oh,

some people say, whooo hey, you're not really reactive. Say ooh,

he hears your complaints and murmur rings. Are you a murmurer? Are you

a complainer? Most of us are. We love to complain, We love

to murmur. I checked it out Cambridge Dictionary what murmur means? Well,

the first one that popped up was murmurs like the murmur in your heart.

When you hear a murmur in your heart, please go see a heart doctor.

It's a problem. Yeah, you gotta see the heart surgeon or the

I don't know what kind of doctor you call his heart doctor. Cardiologies,

the top cardiology is very old. Now doctor Kenneth's chin, not my husband,

all right, yeah, top cardiology is very very cardiologe So I learn

from it. Is doctor Kenneth chin, but not my can of chin.

Okay, not your canachin, but another doctor can a chin. So when

you have a murmur in your heart. It's a low tone, you know,

like I don't know. I don't have a murmur in my heart,

so I can't tell you what it is. But there's murmuring, so you

something's wrong with her heart. The other murmur is this low tone consistent complaints

by people, but it's low tone in spirits. And so the Lord hears

the complaints and murmurings of yours. So I shall say, because the murmurings

and the complaints can become gossip later, gossip if it's not helpful. Is

it ever helpful unless you're gonna help someone. Yeah, But but the Lord

hears it. I want us to understand the keys to unlock, what doesn't

unlock, and what locks? All right, unlocks and then lock it up,

and then we cannot find So the Lord hears the complaints and murmurings.

First one Exodus, we want to learn from the children of Israel. Exodus,

chapter sixteen, verse two to eight. Hallo church, are you still

alive? Come on, people right from the back, and I hear and

amen, I can't hear you. I cannot hear you. Come on,

all the people und one hundred behind that stop your ning and say amen.

Hallelujah. All right, the people in the middle, are you alive and

away? Harlu Oh My God Holy Spirit, please touch them right now.

Amen in Jesus name, Lord, fill them with your presence. Amen.

The joy of the Lord be your strength. Amen. Amen. Yeah.

I wake up every day like this. Yeah. No, most days I

wake up ready to go to work. Some days, yeah, I say

min thank you. So is hallelujah, Ahmed, praise the Lot. That's

good. Sunday is a good day. It's good to celebrate the Lord.

And we want to know what does the Lord here besides the other five things.

He hears our murmurings, he hears our complaints. But let's look at

Exodus chapter sixteen. If you're there, say yes, you're there, Exodus.

I'm not there yet, okay. Exodus chapter sixteen and verse one and

verse two to it. Now you if you know, if you're if you've

been reading the story of Exodus, is how the children of Israel were taken

now or were let out of Egypt by Moses because God said he wants to

set his people free, and he's gonna lead them to the Promised Land,

a land filled with you're like milk and honey. Okay, it just means

a make it. Milk and honey just means providence overflowing blessings. It's good

stuff, okay, A land flowing with milk and honey our wrath. So

God says, you're gonna go. You gotta take it. You're gonna possess

it. You're gonna go answer Hevites. The Jebusites don't know. Bood sites,

what el the sites, and the Jeratites, all of them are there.

But you're gonna go in and you're gonna possess it. I'm gonna give

you the land flowing with milk and honey and church. If you don't already

know, if you take a helicopter flight across our plane ride across and over

Israel, you will know that it is a land flowing with milk and honey.

It is the only desert area that is green and fertile. Jordan is

dry. Next to them is who else. There's a sea ready. So

it's Jordan, and I don't know Syria. Above all of that is dry

land and it is desert. Israel, on the other hand, surprised to

me when I looked out it was green. That is God's promise, promise,

Okay, So the Lord say, I will give it to you.

So he takes them out. So they were walking about two months in two

months only. I don't know what happened. Again, when you read Exodus,

you've got to read numbers, You've gotta read Deuteronomy. They all tie

up together in piecemeal. Here, so they go, and then two months,

all right, is the second month? Verse two. In verse one,

he says they were they came to the wilderness of sin between Elim and

Sinai on the fifteen day of the second month. Fifteen day of the second

month only and verse two. Then the whole congregation, everybody say, oh,

all right, the whole congregational children Israel complain against Moses and Aaron in

the wilderness. Who jang, jang jang. There's a whole two million of

them. Six hundred thousand were made of men. The rest were women,

children, cattle, donkeys, chickens, and also the non juice, the

mix group, the mixed multitude. The whole congregation started to complain and murmur,

and they were murmuring, murmuring. Then, and they heard it.

They were murmuring against Moses and Aaron. Why because they said, oh,

then we had died by the hand of the Lord in the lane of Egypt.

No, they are not Texan. When we sat by the pots of

meat, by the way, there was not park. It was probably beef.

Okay, they don't eat pop. We sat by the pots of meat.

And when we ate bread to the foe, for you have brought us

out into the wilderness to kill us. We once sat and ate bread.

And I don't know what they ate for those two months. La. Actually

it doesn't record not yet man I had not come yet, which miss they

never got hungry, which miss they never went to toilet, think about it,

didn't have to pooh poo because didn't eat Nolan, not really La.

There they brought them. They brought all their their flat flat breads to Kish

bread, flat bread, tortilla. Then make some. They brought me them

and they traveled. Maybe they had some left of a very dry braid.

I have to say, maybe they're one foinish ready. And then they said

you have brought us here to kill us. And then the Lord heard it.

So you look at this verse verse eight, and Moses said, I

mean, so the Lord heard it, because verse three they say you brought

us out to the wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger. No se

no nasilama, no ni, no japati. We're all gonna die of hunger,

they said. So the Lord then said to Moses, okay, you're

going to get bread in the morning and meet in the evening. Okay,

so this is a cycle. You can't You've got to read into numbers and

Deuteronomy. We're cutting shot. So what happened in verse eight? So Moses

said, all right, this is what the Lord says. Yes, and

you're going to have meet in the evening and bread in the morning. For

the Lord years your complaints which you make against him? And what are we?

Who are we people? Your complaints are not against us, but against

the Lord. When you and I complain and murmur over the leadership over our

lives, like our mom and dad, over our bosses, our employers,

our country, president, prime minister, our whoever's an authority, your church

pastor your elders, you don't complain against them. You're actually complaining against the

Lord. Because Romans Chapter thirteen says, the Lord places authority over us,

including our prime ministers, our parliament, including our parents, and your leaders.

You chose to work for that person, So do they become your authority?

When we complain and murmur, understand the depth of it is that we

are actually complaining against the Lord, and you're telling God, you don't know

what you're doing. We're all sin of that. We're all we're all guilty.

We need to repent because we need to unlock those things that bind us

down. The enemy would choose to rob us off our breakthrougher by by causing

because that's what they even, That's what the what the serpent said to Eve,

right, So anyway, so complain, complain numbers Chapter eleven, verse

one to six numbers. Chapter eleven, take you through the Bible. Say

okay, church cannon not okay? Okay now I know. Don't play your

handphone again unless you look at the Bible. Don't play your games. I

can see you, mother of the church, can see you doing stuff there.

Yeah, take your hands off. Okay, don't see that all right

now? Numbers Chapter eleven worse one to six. Sess now when the people

complain it, what say the word? Everybody? What does it say?

I think I can say about one hundred people here? Can I hear a

hundred voices number one, two three. You gotta say it so that you

can hear it. Say it again it do you like to be displeased?

Definitely that you like your daughter to displease you? No, No, you

get angry right because you work so hard to provide. And then there we

complain. I don't want to eat that fish. It's so dry for the

mother working so hard. I don't like that shoe. It's not cool.

Complain will make God very displeased. He actually gets displeased. Yet he would

do something. You see. Although it displeased him, he still went ahead

and bless them. You know. That's how merciful our God is. But

in a continuous, low hum drum consistent complain, everybody hump hmm, everybody

hamp h loud a bit hmm gets through the ears of the Lord. Yeah.

It's a low, consistent, low tone m complainer. And the Lord

said it displeased. You know. Wow, very suck, very suck.

Moving on faster. John chapter sixth verse forty one and forty three. What

happens in John chapter six, verse forty one and forty three. The Jews

were complaining about Jesus because he said, I am the Bread of life,

and they're like, we are not cannibalists. We will not eat flesh.

So Jesus said in verse forty three, he said to them, stop complaining.

Pastor Jesus says, stop complaining. He heard it, He heard their

complaints, and he said stop. We gotta stop murmuring because he knew that

if you continued, they will not reap the blessing. Stop. James,

chapter five, verse nine. James, Chapter five and verse nine. What

does it say? It says, do not grumble against one another? Sorry,

I grumble against you, Mabel, Elder Mabel. Don't grumble against one

another, brethren, unless you be condemned. Behold, the judge is standing

at the door. We need to know the key so that we know what

we should and should not do. Of course, we will lock ourselves in

from the blessing of the Lord. God doesn't want us to be tied down,

weight down by the lies and the temptations that the devil will throw at

us. He wants us to walk in the freedom, in the victorious living

that He has meant for us from day one. He loves us more than

anything to give his only son to come in the flesh. God is spirit.

We can't see him. He's invisible, but he he's omnipresent. He's

present everywhere. He couldn't come because he's a holy God. So he said

his son. His son came in the in the form of a human being.

You and I will see Jesus in the human form. He's the resurrected

body to come and understand us, to come and walk and know how we

would feel our emotions, our temptations. But he was tempted on every side,

but he never sin. That is our Jesus. Thank you Jesus for

going obediently. All right, So don't grumble against one another. We're all

guilty of this. We need to repent so that we can unlock any curse

there's been on our lives. So what happens when we murmur? Friends?

What happens? Number one? We lose sight of God's perfect plan for us.

When you and I murmur continuously, murmur one time, God still a

provide murmur two times three times like non stoma. And there are people like

that. I don't know whether it's a character thing about them. Have you

met anyone at a home? No? Laden If I am, you can

tell me, so I get corrected. That first thing you do and say

how you are? I tell you, oh, pastor Againla growing smart to

grubi pasce againla planting church. I don't know. Low are you doing?

Hi Adelia? There's murmur ring. You know? Are you? He has

another dream He has to help, specially his children. Now, ah,

you no, I want to do suicide prevention. I tell you a non

stoppler. That's a complaint, cause you are not aligning to God's vision.

Perhaps even even these children of Israel. God said, I'm taking you to

the Promised Land. You're going to have your own land. He creates a

whole new nation, a whole new people group. They were called the Hebrews,

the people on the other side of the river. That's why they will

called Hebrews. No he Brew tea he Brew, he Brew a pot of

tea. The Jews, he said, I'll give you a good lad They

lost sight of it, and they were just worried about what they were going

to eat today. No, Fred chicken are you today? No shamble blood

chain? Sorry joy are you today? Ala? No? You have to

walk so far wire complain, complain, complain, And more than them,

they complained so badly that they were confessing stuff they shouldn't have. Number One,

we lose sight of God's plan if we murmur, and if we don't

obey when you are told, when God already give us a direction, when

your leaders have given you, and you will lose sight of the actual big

picture that God has given us. And we think that we're doing the right

thing by remaining in the desert, No, we lose sight. Number two,

we allow doubt to rule. Now we begin to doubt God, Hey,

why you bring me out of Egypt? So they will come saying again,

So doubt will rule over our lives. We will doubt that leadership.

We will doubt our boss, will doubt our mom and dad. We will

doubt our best friend, We will doubt our country, leadership, a lot

of things. We would outrun everything. We were doubt because we lost sight

of the big picture, the perfect plan that God has. We were allowed

out. I can't, I don't have time to do this, but it's

all reading in Exodus and numbers. They doubted even when God said, go

and see the promised land. Go. It was an eleven day journey from

where they left to Kurdish Barniar Kurddish Ban is very near to Canaan Land.

That's not the bookshop, Okay. Canaan Land is the land flowing with milk

and honey. So only eleven days journey and then a few more days they

were reached. But God had to test and see whether they were really really

faithful to him, and they were not, so he took them forty years.

Forty years because for forty days when they eyed and inspired out the land,

they came back and gave bad news to everybody there. You cannot allow.

They've got giants line that land. You cannot allow. So hardler but

now but now the fruits very big on. I do think think rip So

and the Promegranates was so nice or so you see, but Cannol I can

now got giants there. Sometimes we do that to ourselves, isn't it When

we want to move a new way, we want to do something new.

I also give this something. But if we can just focus on Jesus and

say, okay, Lord, it's gonna be tough. It's it's difficult.

I've never done it before. But because it's you, Lord, we're gonna

trust you for it. So they have caused out and they costed out to

other people, and so the whole group decided they're not going to the Promised

Land. Only Joshua and Caleb bravely said, hey, guys, don't worry,

lie yo, the Lord already promise us. We should take it.

We take it, take take, take it off. But they said,

cannot take too bad. The Anarchims are there the giants. Following that we

will let unbelief grow, unbelief began to grow, and as I told the

Morning Service earlier Morning Service, unbelief was quoted by I can't remember who this

person said. The unbelief is like a seed. If you want to,

you will grow. So every time you have an unbelieve word. I don't

believe in Roselyn, I don't believe in the flood of unbelievable biling me.

And I will not believe in Roslyn anymore. I will not believe in my

pastor anymore. I will not believe in my dad, and I don't think

he would do it. I will not believe in my boss now what neither

will I believe in my government. Unbelief builds up, builds out. Anything

you water is going to grow. It will flood the whole place. Either

with growth of the right type or the wrong thing, so unbelief will grow,

and we don't want that to happen. And that was what happened to

Chunrea Israel. The unbelief worked up so much that they suddenly forgot and they

just didn't believe Moses and Iran anymore. They complain, complain, which was

actually against God. Lastly, I'm just using this word no other better word,

maybe adversity. We invite curses, we invite adversity to come upon us

because we're declaring death. So the churn Israel would say we're going to die

in the wilderness. Again, they will say we're going to die in a

wilderness, and again and again they said, we're going to die in a

wilderness. Until you know what God said. Okay, you confessed it.

It's happening. Huh. Proverbs chapter eighteen, verse twenty one says death and

life are in the power of your tongue, and if you want to eat

the fruit of it, go ahead use it. So which way you want

to use it? Life? Death, So we're all Guiltylla guiltilla, So

the repent before Jesus, because sometimes we do speak death words. Sometimes we

give up someone. I remember all I had a sister in christ Is.

We were dealing with another young man and she said Sandra many years ago,

to say, do you think a leopard can change its spots? I was

a big question to me, Jesus, all things are possible, but she

didn't think that this was changed. Later I had to deal with this person

because I had to lead the person. I'm like yalla lest but just think

God is the only one who can stir. But our will is ours to

choose. And they kept saying, we're going to die, We're going to

die. So in November Pula in numbers chapter fourteen, are you learning something

Church, because it's written in the world of God. It's not my words,

Okay, it's written here in numbers fourteen, verse twenty eight that as

they were making decisions where they take the land, don't take the Lena.

Later, God was so upset, right he said, say to them,

because the Lord had said, I don't know how long I can tahn this

groupla, the evil congregation. They complain against me. I've heard the complaints

with the children of Israel said against me. This verse twenty seven, verse

twenty eight numbers chapter fourteen, he says say to them, as I live,

says the Lord, just as you have spoken in my hearing, So

I will do to you. You understand that, you understand saying just as

you have spoken. When I'm here in front of you, you can dare

say you're gonna die. Okay, I'll give you. I'll give you up

to whatever you confess. So they die. They die. Those who are

twenty years and above walked forty years. They had no choice because they complained.

So forty years slowly you grow all. If you're forty, you become

eighty and so walking. So only those below twenty survived, and they became

the new generation that entered the Promised Land. Not because God is cruel,

not because he's evil. You confessed. They confessed. So this is in

the word of God. Friends, you aren't healing in your body. You

aren't healing in your spirit. Stop confessing death. Don't say I will never

marry or never marry. Of course you won't get married now I ugly.

I agree. Then you become ugly now like I willays tell the parents.

Don't call your son akawa amawa loua maola loo, like kat la loo,

like cat lou, like dog. Right God proper names. Alex Jonathan,

handsome Apple, right side Zi lang Si on length ty Ah. Don't call

her name lim Benko, Hey, people named like I know lim Benko,

Siriah. I went for graduation, Limbanko. I was the only one who

laughed. I thought my friends would laugh with me. They all walked away,

including my husband. Leave her alone. We don't know her graduate walked

up Limbnko utter, it was funny. Why would her parent name your child

Limbanko? Yeah, Lina Nola. So what you say that would happen because

what comes around goes around. What you saw is what you will reap.

This is just life. But God heve U was the keys. So Number

one, what happens when we mama, you lose sight of God's perfect plan.

Number two, we were allowed doubt to rule in our lives about a

person, about our country, even Malaysia. Hey, I die hard fan

Malaysia. Okay, Yeah, everybody would have thought Sandra would have left for

overseas since she looked like my Sally. Anyway, you'll say right, You'll

say right, I didn't die my hair, nae if I die my hair

Italian, you know. See, I take the crumbs from Andrea. I

die hard fan Malaysia, and today I've not left my country. I'm not

migrated. I have every chance to do so everybody wants me. Okay,

no, all right, If we speak death to Malaysia, you'll be a

for God for saken country. But it's not. God met Malaysia for crying

out loud. He didn't just make America. He didn't make a Strial.

He didn't just make the UK. He didn't just make China. He made

Malaysia. Please don't make this country die because you speak death to it.

If you think government is better, there are other worse governments or so every

government got problem one. Don't be so naive to think that other countries don't

have issues. You just don't know. So closing, we lose sight God's

plan. We were allowed doubt to rule. We will let unbelieved to grow,

and we will invite adversity. We will invite curses over our lives because

life and death and life are in our tongue. If you want the good

fruit, you must know what to say. So what can we do?

The change that number one put on the garment of praise come up? I

think that they passed the preacher, put on the garment of praise. This

is Isaiah sixty one, verse three. You know we can put on a

garment of complaint. I'm sure we can take it off, right. You

can put on a garment of all, but you can take it off and

put on a garment of new, a new life in Christ. We can

put on the garment of praise. So you and I must learn to learn

to praise God out of our mourning, out of our ashes, out of

our pain. Praise God. Really, I kid, you know it will.

Things work in the heaven list you can't see. But the Lord responds.

He hears our praise, and he says, whoa, I can hear

my child praising there? Whoa? Oh, come on, give me all

you want. And he's praising and loves the praise because praise lifts up the

ceiling. Praise lifts up the ceiling. I don't know how to check.

I'm with testimony, you know what, I'm ready, But praise lifts up

the testament, and testament lifts up the ceiling. I remember, you know,

I quit my job, I left my secular, my mom my corporate.

Well, ready to go into the mission field, Ready to learn English,

to get a certification to be an English teacher. And then the day

I go and sign out there, oh dat me. Sorry, I have

no place for you, Yello, Parney, I said, please, Love's

sorry. We don't have any place for you at the moment. So I

said, if someone pulls offa and you please call me. I'm desperate.

I quit my job. I really need that. I need to get that,

sir, because I want to go onto the mission field. And it

was a twenty four hour battle in the spirit because it felt like God gave

it to me and the devil just so you praise Scotler crying all I want

to go to the mission. I cannot get my shirt. Of course,

it's what we call her quick fast six weeks. You first, you learn

very fast, you get your curtain, you get off, you can go

off church. We're gonna send me out. You praise Scott, just prayse

Scotler instead of complaining. But I just had to praise good. In twenty

four hours, they called me back and said, we believe we have a

place for you. Somebody just left, do they not coming? Yay,

I'm coming, thank you. We put on the praise garment of praise Amen,

stop complaining. Don't complain? All right? Got this very displeased.

So instead of singing complain songs, come or why don't you sing some praise

songs. This is when you sing. I pray hallelujah. What you say

rasa hallelujah? Come on, come on people, raiser hallelujah. Say halleljah.

Yeah, rais hallelujah. From your Mondays and your Saturdays all the way,

raisa hallelujah. Don't just sing it here here already heavenly, but in

your home, in your office, and there's no hallelujah. You hallelujela.

Okay, praise you put on the garment of praise and then let God work

through your praise, not through your murmurings. All right. Gratitude and thanksgiving,

amen. This spirit of gratitude is very lacking in a lot of people.

First, Tessalonia's now, I told you what is the will of God?

The will of God is rejoice and give thanks. So if you don't

know one is God, feel some of your prayer. God was your will,

for here is written Ready give thanks, Give thanks. That's the will

of God. Number one, Give thanks, Give thanks? Are you my

job? Thank you? Jesus, are you my face like that? Thank

you? Jesus? Are you what is kind of boy? You give me?

Okay, give thanks a car? You give me God check, you

give me a give thanks with a grateful heart. Give this all right?

You give thanks? Amen, gratitude and thanksgiving opens you away. God will

lift up that daughter's closed. Do not murmur. Were very very few of

us are thankful. Thankful to our moms and dads for the hard work they

have done. We we sometimes treat our parents like you know, day at

the door, like the guyenne on the floor and everyone. We're ungrateful to

our parents, were ungrateful to our brother sisters, were ungrateful to our pastors,

being grateful to our friends. Sometimes because we are unhappy inside. Will

Ferrell did not create the song happy. It was his name, Pharol Philip

ferrellel somebody fellow, okay, because I'm happy. No, Jesus, he's

the joy. So stop complaining. You don't have I didn't. My father

lost everything, you know, friends, he lost everything at the point and

I was going to go to university. I could not go to university.

He lost my our home, he lost everything. So do I complain and

hate his guts. He made a mistake. But I have Jesus, So

I say, Lord, thank you. You will find me an education somewhere,

somehow, somehow, God, Thank you Jesus. Very painful. No,

cannot go to university at the time, and everybody was going to university.

You have to give thanks, you have to have gratitude. It will

open the door for us. God opens next third point, Conversations that build

What kind of conversations are we having? Huh? And the mamaster conversations that

are building up? Sing last sums to one another. You are beautiful.

I don't like this, but thank you Jesus. Or I speak the sum,

speak the words of life. Speak life into your circumstance. Think better

of somebody else. Oh, declare life, Declare that you know things can

be better. Conversations Ephesions five, nineteen twenty one. He says, speak

the sam sing spiritual songs. It just means speaking the word of God.

Because if we better, we keep our mouth shut. That if you've got

nothing to say, but better, don't want me out, better follow follow

because for me day who one right you and nothing to say? I swallow

your own warman. Please do not vomit at me. Mm hmm, all

right, No, I know I'm magnetic, but don't vomit at me.

Later song, the teens are laughing. I'm magnetic, but please don't vomit

at me. Swallow your vomit and speak better words. If not, keep

quiet, because you will. You will not unlock. You will tie us

down. And we have no breakthrough, no breakthrough. God hears us.

You aren't God to hear, or you aren't got to close his ears.

Let's God will do. Cannot I cannot because the Holy God last one Hebrews

eleven six. This church is inundated with this. Please God more than anything

by faith. Come on here, Brews eleven six. We are inundated by

the word of faith. In acts, this church was planted by faith,

not by sight. There was no thousand people where we start. There was

only three. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. A lot

of people here want to please God. Lord. Young people ask me,

pass, how can I please God in my relationship? Have faith? If

you have faith in your relationship, then you'll know what to do. Have

faith. It is without faith we cannot please God. But He's a reward

of those who seek him. Faith is the currency of heaven. We speak

the word of faith. Please God. By having faith to trust him,

Please God. More than anything he hears. He hears the word of faith

when you speak it. Amen. Lastly, I close with this Malachi chapter

three, verse sixteen. Remember these friends every time you gather for Mama time.

Then those who fear the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord

listened, and he heard them. So a book of remembrance was written before

him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on his name. God

has a nice journal that journals all your conversations that are amazing things that you

say, amazing stuff about him. He writes it down and you remembers it's

amazing. He has a journal. I don't know what looks like, but

it says here that the Lord actually listens and hears us. Prince, what

are you speaking behind your parents back, your boss's back, your best friend's

back, your pastor's back, your elders back, your home leader's back.

What are you speaking? Because the Lord listens and he hears them. I

can't hear what you say about me, too bad, But the Lord's The

Lord listens because either you're praying and crying out by faith to say, the

Lord, I need your help. And he hears the cry of the righteous,

the cry of those who fear the Lord, the cry who speaking truth,

cries the one with them. He hears the cry of the faith filled,

desperate cry. He hears the cry full of faith in the authority of

Christ. He hears that that's your blessing, that's yours. But when we

continue to murmur, that's also what he hears, then it brings a displeasure.

When he brings a displeasure, we invite adversity into our own lives.

We invite unbelief because we keep speaking unbelief. My God is teaching us.

So I'm giving you the keys. Take it, because I'm applying these same

principles in my life as well. If I have to repent, I repent

for speaking unwllness about somebody or or complaining all the time. Gonna stop it,

Just stop it. Nobody else can stop you but yourself. You can

choose. Amen. But the beauty about it. When I first first read

this verse is a long time ago. I kind of whoa God listens to

our conversations, and if it's good, He's gonna write it down, and

he's gonna remember what you said, Owen, it's evil. He has no

part in it because God is not evil. He's good. How hallelujah,

Come on church? Does God here? And what does he hear? He

hears a lot? Amen, He hears you, He hears your heart cry,

he hears your desires, he hears he hears your complaints of causing and

your pain, and he does something. He did do something for them,

He did provide for them. He did it over and over again until he

said, that's it. It's just too much. They forgot gratitude and thanksgiving,

so fine in your heart gratitude and thanksgiving, Thank the people that have

brought you up, who have recognized your talent. People who have raised you

up could be your family members, your brother, your sister, your parents,

you know, your teacher, yeah, your leaders, your boss.

Sometimes we're angry about certain thing, but we shouldn't write off everything. Don't

throw the baby out with the bath water. So because they never used to

bathe last time in England. So the first one goes in, very clean

the water, it's English saying. And then father goes in, and big

brother goes in, and so the family very big and finally little baby John

goes in. By the time baby John goes in, it's black and so

they couldn't find baby. And they thought, oh, that's it, let's

throw the water out. Forgot the baby was sinking inside. It's the saying,

So they say, don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Yeah, there's a lot of things that might not be, but there's a

good baby in there, be able to say thank you. Sometimes, don't

complain about that one wrong thing, you go and say the whole thing wrong.

Man, we all make mistakes. You I didn't know I heard you.

Tell me, don't talk behind my back, tell me or find a

way to tell mi, La, write a letter whatever. La. Of

course you're scared to see me or I scared to see you. God's principles

are based on his person, his character, the character of God. That's

why he hears your prayer. You are righteous. You are man woman who

fear God. You are a man woman who walks in the truth. You

are man woman who pray, who cries out with faith filled desperate cry.

You're a man woman who has faith in the authority of Christ. Those are

the prayers he hears. Amen. Amen, don't cut short the destiny that

God has simply because we are murmuring. And we got a learn from this.

Children of Israel, don't make the same mistake. Change will happen.

Friends, This venue is a change. Thank you for coming along with us,

Thank you for believing with us. This venue is a change. So

many things have changed, but only for the better because God knows better.

But if we murmur, we cannot go very far. Will we will cut

short God's destiny for us as a group. So I want to say the

Lord hears us, and there's more encouragement already at the start. Five things

for you to take home with you, to say, Yes, he hears

me. Here's ears as big as an elephant. He will hear me.

He loves you genuinely. He loves you with his life. God wants to

work. Amen. So if you hear yourself murmuring, you say stop right

now, thank you very much. I'm not going to grumble. I'm not

going to murmur. I'm going to praise God. I'm gonna put on the

garment of praise. I don't want the look shot of my destiny. I

want to see further. Amen. And you might say I'm only human So

I tell you what. Don't serve the flesh, serve the spirit. Romans

chapter seven. Don't serve the flesh, serve the spirit, your spirit,

Man, the mind will serve the law of the Spirit of life. The

flesh will always damn to load, and you just say go drop it and

you just because the flesh has to die. This is the flesh has been

living with us forever. So we're are tempted all the time, but you

say no, no. Paul said, Thanks be to God. I'm such

a wretched person, but thanks be to God for the wonderful gift of Jesus

Christ that I can overcome to the law of the Spirit of life working in

me. Amen, all of us who are in Christ has the Law of

the Spirit of life working in us. We hope you've been blessed by this

message. For more information on our church, please visit as Church dot org.
