Until You Know | Elder Rosalind Ang

You're listening to a message to go from X Church. We hope this message

will light up your day. You know that if you've been coming to AX

church or what is the theme for this year? Can't miss it that right,

So you guys are very privileged. You know why because every Sunday when

you come in the church, you get the CDs and you are reminded that

Heaven rules. But even as I was preparing the message for this, and

initially everything that I had prepared was taken from the Book of Daniel, right,

so you know this term Heaven rules comes from the Book of Daniel.

But just this morning, as I was worshiping, God said, okay,

I want you to change that angle a little bit. I'm like, oh,

thank you all hard and so you will see that maybe the slights might

not all jive right now where I'm going with this, but the theme is

still Heaven rules. Okay. So as I was preparing, I actually came

across a book. And this is a book written by this lady called Nancy

the Moss, and it was published sometime in September twenty twenty two. Right,

so that's only last year. Yes, it's it's it's very recent and

you're thinking, hey, wow, very Nama. How come someone from the

other side of the world has also come into this team. And and what

really caught me about this book was how she started writing this book now,

And how she started was actually by um writing about this story of a couple

called Katie and I can't remember the husband's name, and she was pregnant,

right, she's pregnant with her four child. Some of you are pregnant moms

or you've just delivered. So one of the couples that just delivered today,

it is actually one of my homies just delivered last week, right, so

pregnant with So this is this lady. She's pregnant with her fourth child.

And the story went on and it took a dive, right, so we're

all excited, right, it's not she she was just going about her daily

life. And then she recognized that her baby's not moving. Not good news,

right if you are a mom. And she's two days shy from her

EDD her estimated dudate about to deliver in two day's time, and two days

before that she couldn't feel her baby move. And so this couple, do

you know what was amazing was this couple worked with Nancy de Moss as Nancy.

Nancy is a Bible teacher and also speaker, so she's been going on

this theme of heaven rules for over the past three to four years, so

it's not something new to her. And she's been teaching that taking from the

Book of Daniel. And so this couple of the husband actually works with her.

So it's this whole idea of heaven rules has been sort of been taught

and ingrained into his life. And so in the hospital bit, he actually

wrote there, Samuel is here. Samuel is the name of the child.

Samuel is here. Heaven rules, right. And so what what goes on

in the story is that when they were in a hospital, this lady,

she she delivered, She went through the actual labor process, and she delivered

a stillborn I don't know how many of us have actually gone through something like

that. I prayed that we will never experience that. But this is real,

and this happened in twenty twenty one. Just in case you think this

is like a story, right, No, it's real. Twenty twenty one

they lost their four child and and I think what really struck me even more

was when and you know, in that day when she had to deliver the

baby already and what was supposed to be a joyous celebration right new baby born.

Instead the family members came to the hospital to say that goodbyes to this

little baby, to give him a heart as he left them, And what

was shared from the perspective of the parents was that in that moment, that

place in that hospital was sacred, It was a holy ground, and it

was worshiped unto the Lord. I wonder how many of us in that kind

of situation would be able to turn that situation and say, this is holy

ground and Heaven rules. God is in control. I know it's it's I

think you can only know it once you've been through it. And this is

the testimony, as they share. They wrote a letter to their son at

their funeral and this was read out, and this is what they said.

The parents, our precious Samuel Ethan. That was the name of the baby.

Your first name means God has hurt, Samuel means God has hurt,

and your middle name means strong safe. We had no idea when God led

us to that name, how perfect it would be for you. You are

now completely safe and strong in the arms of God who heard our prayers.

That was the letter to their son who is now with Jesus. Amen.

Now, I know to start off that story that way leaves us on sombro

ground, and but I have to say that this is the reality that we

live in. Yes, it's very real. The Bible is full of stories

of real people with real challenges. It's not just a pit, you know,

empty promises. And yes, you know, we don't just chant God

is good and then that live that how we are able to just continue to

declare this, It's really based on the perspective that we take on life,

on God, on who we are. And this is what Nancy says.

So I'm going to pick this from the quote so you can see this on

the screen on the slide. Heaven rules. Heaven rules means that He is

sovereign over everything that touches us, that nothing comes to us unbidden by his

desire to use it for our good and for his glory and for the great

things He created us to be part off. He is a ruler over every

diagnosis and prognosis, over all incomes and outcomes, over the most daunting challenges

as well as the most seemingly trivial details of our lives. Amen, do

you believe this? Do you know? Sometimes as as I go around sharing

some of this, for many of us, they we still struggle with this

idea of heaven rules, right, Like, what does that mean? Actually?

How do we actually live up this call over our lives? Heaven rules?

And do you know what I caught from Daniel? And I want to

read to you Daniel four twenty six, which this verse was taken from,

so that we can begin to know where we are going ahead with this.

Okay, So Daniel four twenty six, you are familiar with this worst but

I want to highlight something a bit different. It says, and inasmuch as

they've given the command to leave the stumb and roots of the tree, your

kingdom should be assured to you. Right. So then this is Daniel speaking

to the king after you come to know that Heaven rules. Right, Before

we can get to heaven ruling in our lives, we have to know it

first. Amen, turn to your neighbor and say, do you know?

Do you know? Knowing is? Sometimes you say I know, right,

I know, I know, I know, But do you really know a

very good example it is, do you know that exercise is good for you?

Yes, how many of you actually exercise? Can I see us your

hands? Oh? Very goola exchange. Well done, you are quite an

active bunch. I would say about maybe twenty five percent. Not bad,

not bad. I expected worse. So all of us can say we know

that exercise is good. Yes, anyone disagree with that? Does anyone disagree

that exercise is good? No? Right? We know why we know.

But those who really know are those who actually when to put on your jogging

shoes, who actually went to lift up that weights, who actually hit the

gym. They know. So we have seventy five to get up and working

right exchurch, because knowing hite knowledge, like we can know the Bible.

I know, I know, but do you really know? We can say

I know that God loves me, but do you really live your way as

though God loves you? Right? We say things, We say things that

sounds good, sounds right, but in our own hearts and own lives,

it doesn't seem like that. Many of you are discouraged today because you do

not know that Heaven rules. You do not know it yet, because knowing

is an intimate knowledge. So the thing is right. Many of us as

we grew up in this world. We have this perspective. So where I

want to bring you to today, right is how do we look at heaven?

Rules is a form of perspective okay now, okay, so maybe a

big color clashing right, not so color coordinated right now? And we go

through our life, every day of lives, right, seeing things through this

kind of lenses, very fancy lenses, right, and we think that,

Okay, so my purpose in life, what is it? Okay, get

a good job, get a good husband, have two kids and two dogs,

and live in that nice neighborhood right in tamantud Wah. Okay, I

don't know that. I don't know what's a nice neighborhood, A monkiara,

I don't know what address you're like, But we have been looking at our

lives, and honestly, look at your own lives, and you can see

that this is the perspective that you put on throughout your life. When good

thing happens, God loves me. When bad thing happens, God has left

me. When I get that guy, that hot guy, Oh God,

you're really for me. But when he dumped me, God, you left

me. You don't like me? How come everyone God testimony to share,

but I don't no testimony. God, Are you real? Are you there?

And this is the perspective that we see God from right. We always

see it from my perspective. Do you know why this one doesn't work?

Do you know why this one doesn't work? Horray, no glasslow by the

way, right, I am actually short sighted. Short sighted means I can

see near, but I cannot see far. Okay, So this is not

an old person kind of because my husband's different case. You can share from

a different perspective. I'm sure you have heard him share that, right,

he's got old age kind of I vision whatever. So but for me,

it's really um deteriorating. So I'm short sighted. I can see near,

but I cannot see far. See the thing is right. Many times we

look at our issues, our problems from a very near perspective, and we

think everything is okay, right, we think everything is according to how I

know it. But the heaven rules perspective is taking maybe one thousand steps behind

and looking at the bigger picture of your life, of the world, of

what God is doing. So I want to encourage you to take a step

back. But you see the problem is right, like Graham said, already

no powerla. And the problem as we are all shortsighted, we are very

immediate. I want to see it now. I want to see it close.

I want to almost feel it before I know that is real. But

do you know that action of moving backwards and saying God, I am needing

to take a new perspective. It means that we need new lenses. Right.

It means we knew we need new glasses. It means, oh,

no, I can see you clearly. These are my actual glasses, which

I don't use often because I always think right, I can see very near

white. All my work is just my laptop, you know, And I

can see you like a big blah blah. But it's okay, right,

But sometimes I just really need some power to help me see a bigger distance,

a bigger picture, to know that God rules. Amen, Seriously,

it all look so clear now I can even see the pimple on your nose.

Right. But the thing is right, we are not used to putting

on these lenses. We are used to sing lenses, which is like what

my friends tell me, what social media tells me, what Google tells me.

But forget about what God tells me, then no power. Lah.

You want power in your life, you want to see God evidence in your

life, then I suggest you start putting on new perspective, new lenses.

And this is the lenses of which we see all all our situations through the

word of God. Amen. Can I encourage your church that I think it's

time for us to go deep into the word of God. Really, really,

I mean I mean business, mean business with God by getting into his

word. You know, don't just read one verse of the day and then

just go about your day and thinking, Oh, that's it, that's it,

that's that's my life. How are you going to put on this lenses

when you only have one? Worse? You cannot sustain, you cannot understand

God and his perspective. So I on you, if anything, just get

serious with God, get into his word, because that's when you will begin

to know that Heaven rules. Just like the guys who are pumping iron.

You know, it's it's not easy, right. You have to make time

for it, you have to sweat through it. Sorry, guys, it's

no easy way. You can have the best teacher out here every Sunday.

But I'm doing the work right now. I have been the one studying it

and you're just sitting down there. Who whose muscles get stronger? Milo?

Then you wonder, how come you know so much? I don't know it?

Hello, you can know too. The Word of God is in your

hands. Everybody. You have a hand phone in your hands. You have

the Word of God already. Technology has made it so much easier for you.

Don't forget about the Word of God. Why do we make it.

We are no longer living in the error way. It's only the priests who

have the Word of God. And you're like, come here and I will

tell you the truth. We are not living in that era any longer.

So we need to put on the right lenses. Um. And when I

was thinking about this whole heaven rules right HR HR HR looking at HR sightings

right in the Word of God through the life of Daniel m We. The

other HR word that comes to your mind is what when I say HR human

resource? Yes, that won't be very good when we have situations HR.

Who would I go to first? HR? Human resource? Right? Maybe

Google, maybe chap GPT now, but it's still very human resource. We

are looking to ourselves. But the resource right? But do you know that

HR is heaven resources. Come on, Christian, you have heavenly resources to

tap into. Why are you not tapping into this power that God has given

each and every one of us? Do you know what separates us from anyone

outside who does not know God? That we know God, and those who

know Him shall be strong and do great exploits. Amen? How come we

don't know? We are living as though like we got no power. We

are living as though we don't have a father in heaven who meets our needs.

We are living as though, Yo, I got no problem. You

know, all my issues are bigger than me. You know, this disease

is overtaking me. Why are we living as though we don't know a God

who rules Heaven rules God? Really, we have to get it into our

spirit. We have to get it in our lingo. We have to get

it in the way we look at things in life. Amen. Amen.

So I want to go into the first one, Heaven rules lensers? Okay,

So how do we do that? Okay? How do we actually begin

to put on this lensers? Right? So when you go home, right

now, those of you wearing glasses, huh, you actually have to remember

that. What perspective am I taking right now. And initially when I prepared

this message, right, this was all taken from the perspective of Daniel himself,

right, And I think you all know Daniel very well by now.

Yes, you know Daniel very well by now. And but I wanted to

take it from a perspective of a mother in the Bible. Is that okay?

Because I sense that God has a word for Mom's here this morning,

and so just now I was like, oh, flipping the scripture, I'm

like, oh, you gotta help me in this. So whatever I say

right now, if it's of the Holy Spirit, receive it. If it's

not, then you just check it. Okay. But I was very drawn

to Mary, the mother of Jesus himself. Do you know that Jesus was

birth and he lived a life, He lived a human life. And so

the very first part that we can begin to put on this heavenly lenses is

to firstly acknowledge him a man, Can you say, acknowledge acknowledge God?

How do we begin to acknowledge God in our everyday lives? Acknowledging him?

We know for Daniel, you know that his life was set apart. Right

even from Daniel chapter one, it was ten days of naughty. He knew

his custom, he prayed every day. But what about Mary? Let's go

to Mary. Do you know that there isn't a lot talked about Mary from

her perspective, but there are some and we want to go into it little

bit. So, um, go with me to Luke. So this is

not in the slides, but it's in your word, right, Yeah,

let's go to Luke chapter one. It's the beginning. I'd like to read

Luke. You know why Luke is written by a doctor. He's one.

He's the only gentile of the gospel writers. The rest were Jewish, but

so he came from a perspective of a gentle but also a doctor. And

this doctor, if you know, doctor Jill, has amazing observation and bitside

manners. He really knew his patients or the people that he was recording on,

and so he recorded this right in Luke chapter one versus okay, now

verse twenty six onwards right, he says, now in a six month,

the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed a man whose name was Joseph of the House of David.

The virgin's name was Mary, and having come in the Angel set to

her rejoice is highly favored one. The Lord is with you. Blessed are

you among women? And do you know that the reason why I believe,

I personally believe that God had chosen Mary was because she in her life has

always acknowledged God and God knows it. So whether this morning, I don't

know how many of us actually woke up and acknowledge God. Did you say

hi to God this morning? Did she say good morning, Lord, thank

you for this day? Sometimes most of us wake up in estray irsha for

chatty? Oh correct, thank you? Thank you for speaking the truth,

and the truth shows that you're free. How many of us actually remembered to

put on the lenses that the reason you're alive this morning? Thank you Lord.

Wow, I have life, I have breath, Every single breath of

yours, every heart beat is ordained by the Lord. And if he chooses

to take you home, he can do. We remember that people, friends,

family, that God rules over every part of our being. So we

begin to acknowledge who God is. And I believe that Mary, in her

growing up yes, knew God acknowledged him worshiped him. How many of us

worshiped God seven days a week or is it just once a week? Wow?

Talk about acknowledging him. Right, it's not just Sunday Sunday, we

see it. It's fine, But it's what you do in the secret when

no one sees. That's when he sees, right, pass I kind of

taught us something really powerful in our recent leader's retreat. He's like, God

is looking at what you're doing in your secret place when no one else is

looking, when social media doesn't know anything about it. What are you doing

in your secret place? Are you there acknowledging who God is over your life?

Because otherwise we can just go through our lives every day and it's a

routine, right, wake up, go to work, come back, eat,

what's for dinner? Sleep, wake up, go to work, battle

traffic, gam now okay, come back, get stressed, and then sleep.

This kind of perspective of over your life has no power, and it

does not change anything. The way you look at it will be the same.

The way you look at your problems is the same. And you go

like, God, you're not real. There's no power. I prayed,

I prayed, I prayed that one prayer last two months and you haven't moved

yet. How come It's because we have not been engaging God and it's been

looking at him rightly? So how do we acknowledge God in our daily lives?

Do you know mom's moms? I'm speaking to you right now. I'm

a mom. I'm a working mom as well, and there's many things to

do. Even as you're doing the laundry, would you acknowledge him? Thank

you Lord, a lord of clothes, but thank you for the clothes on

our back. As you're preparing food, Wow, thank you Lord for food

that can bring nourishment to our family. As you're busy battling traffic. I

know many of us will be like cursing and all, like, what do

you thank God? God? I have a car, God I can drive.

Bless my neighboring cars or the one that cut me. Okay, double

blessing upon you. How are we acknowledging God? When you deal with a

really nasty supervisor, supervisor at work or manager, the normal lensus will be

like, I curse you back right, But the heavenly lensus is saying,

no, I bless you. What God will heap calls upon your head,

there's a different meaning to it. Yeah, it's not pronouncing a curse on

that person. I recently learned that when the person says that, it's actually

saying a blessing curse. It is very cold. So when I have cooled

over my head, it keeps you warm. Like ah wow, very interesting

at this Jewish culture anyways, But how are we acknowledging God in our daily

lives? And when we acknowledge God, do you know that He begins to

answer you in ways that you will never imagine. And that's the beauty of

it. Right So, so there is this active relationship that we have without

God right now. It's not just saying, okay, God, you know

you just bless me, you just bless me, You just bless me.

But it's saying, God, I want to know you, I want to

acknowledge you, and then he begins to answer. And you know that's true

for Daniel, and you know that's true for Mary as well, and that's

why the Angel came and sought her and had a special calling for her.

And the second thing, after we acknowledge God daily in our lives and bring

him, this is what I'm saying about putting on this perspective, right,

how do we put on this perspective? Number one is two acknowledge him every

situation, every circumstance. Do you know now I have to kick myself,

you know, whenever and engage these lenses whenever something there's bad news that came,

or what even news that comes. I'm like, okay, God,

before I react to that situation, remember, take those steps back and say,

God, what is your perspective on this situation? What is your perspective?

What is it that I need to learn through this challenge? Do you

know that having heaven ruth perspective means every challenge that comes your way, God

wants you to grow through it. Amen. It is not a challenge to

purposely make your life difficult. God is so interested in your life. He's

like, Okay, come on, there's this lesson that I want you to

learn. Is to grow you. It's for you to mature, it's for

you to step up the next level of faith. Many of us don't like

challenges because we're like God, I just want my life to be comfortable.

I just want my life to be you know, as I know exactly how

many of your control freaks. I am self confessed control freak. I like

everything in place, in order according to time. Don't disturb my schedule,

let's go right. And then suddenly my husband say, okay, let's go

here, and I'm like, no, it's not in a plan. You

didn't tell me. You must give me three days of advance notice. Sorry,

life doesn't happen that way. So I'm a recovering control freak. Okay,

recovering recurring. I'm learning to let go and let God, learning to

say God, okay, I did not expect. Do you know that there

are many things that you will not expect in your life? Yes? You

can think that you're the greatest planner. Okay, I'm sorry to say that

probably your planner five percent correct? How many of you have planned every thing

exactly and everything has come to pass according to what you will it to be?

No? Right, No, you look at your life like no,

who might as well go with the flow? Might as well go with the

flow of the spirit. Right. I think it's easier that way when we

learned to let go and let God acknowledge him. The second one is to

get acquainted with this challenges law. Okay, do you know that Mary?

Right? The first challenge that you think she's like some superhuman highly adored and

exalted. But do you know that she was afraid even from the conception of

Jesus. What did the angels say to her? But when Mary saw the

angel, when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying and considered

what men of greeting this was. And the angels said to her, do

not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Do

you know that God, in his goodness and his kindness right whenever we are

going through our challenges, he is there with us. He will give us

what we need. He says that my grace is sufficient for you. It

is in your weakness. My grace is sufficient for you, because he says

in verse thirty seventh, for with God, nothing will be impossible. Amen.

Can you receive that in your spirit? For with God nothing will be

impossible. Do you just hear it and say, yeah, God, with

God, nothing it's impossible. You sing it in a song, But do

you really believe it? For your situation right now, right now, what

is that heaviness that you're feeling right now? What is that challenge, that

trouble that's making you not be able to sleep, and what is it right

now? And say God, I'm just gonna right now take one thousand steps

back and say God, you say with you, nothing is impossible. But

do you believe that I might not know the situation, I might not know

when it will turn around, but I know that you are working all things

out for the good of those who love you. And I know that I'm

loved by God. Can you take that perspective, say, God is not

going to happen maybe in the next one week, maybe three weeks, maybe

three months. For some of us, there's some things that's been there for

three years or longer. But God, you rule, You rule God.

And in that three years, maybe I'm learning how to be patient. Maybe

I'm learning how to trust more. Maybe I'm letting go of my own assumptions

of things. And do you know the result of that is a humble spirit?

Or do we go through our life and think that, No, you

know, I'm gonna use my human resources and try things my way out right.

If I don't have something, I should do something on my own right

now. If I don't have a live partner yet, let me try many

dating apps out there. I'm not saying it's wrong at peace. Don't hear

what I'm not saying. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I'm saying only

dependence on this is not going to get your results. And you can try.

You can try and try and try and try, and what happens is

that you get dejected. You get this illusion because you see, hey,

nothing changed, Why everything still looks the same. But we need a fresh

perspective. Amen, So get acquainted with your challenges. I reflected on how

Mary, how many of your parents have experienced this? I don't know,

lost your child I have in a foreign country. I think I said this

before to some of you. Mega panic attack. Okay, when you lose

your child, and Mary lost her child, the son of God on no

way too from a festival. Can you imagine how Mary must have been feeling.

And many of us as parents, right sometimes we are at our wits

end and we don't know what to do with our child anymore. I have

to confess I have a teen and a budding teen. So I'm walking through

this new valley, new journey. There are many things I don't know,

and I'm learning how to. But God didn't give me a blueprint. No,

this is what you do. Did you you say you know this exactly?

You know the rules that you have. No, it's it's a it's

a learning journey. It's a process. Right of saying God today today,

Today, I need new perspective God. Every day the challenge is different.

Run No, every season of your life the challenge is different. But today

God, instead of just saying, oh, my child is so useless,

I never say that. By the way, this is recorded. Instead of

thinking this child no hope anymore, why don't I say God, Wow,

I want to declare and speak and prophet side into my child greatness, the

spirit of God, Amen, the spirit of Daniel, the spirit of Joseph.

Would you speak that instead? Which leads me to my third point,

which is what are you saying to your city? Because you see things right?

When I see things as it is, I will say as I see

correct. If it's if I see it as a hopeless situation, then I

will say hopeless things correct. It's very natural what you see with if I

say, well, medical report for stage cancer, if I see it as

such as that, and I will declare, oh, diaryala, no hope.

But I need to now see from a different perspective God, What are

you seeing through this? What are you after? God? And you know

then you begin to align yourself with God. Many of us are standing on

the other side and not coming to God's side because the things right. Can

I tell you this, No matter which side you stand on, no matter

whether you stand on the world's side or on God's side, Heaven still rules.

Heaven rules anyway you like it or not, you believe it or not,

God's will will come to pass, His kingdom come, His will be

done, It will be done, it shall be done. So, my

dear friends, brothers and sances, do you want to see it as God

sees it? Or do you want to be in that situation where Oh,

then I'm beating myself up. You know, I have no more life,

no more hope, and go through this whole miserable life. And we're called

to be Christians who live victorious life. Oh man, how many of you

can say I'm actually living a victorious life right now in Christ? How many

of you dare to see it? No? No believers here? How come

progressing? Progressing? But you know the beauty in the progress is that today

I believe more than I did yesterday. Do you know. God celebrates that

more than he says. Oh perfect already, Joy is perfect, everybody,

right, Joy is here. I'm not there, but do you know that

every day the heaven rules perspective. Say today, God, I believe in

you just a bit more Today, God, I have faith a little bit

more than I had yesterday. This is victorious Amen, this is already victorious

Christian living. Today. I can give a bit more today. I say

sorry, a bit more, a bit faster yesterday. You know, yesterday,

maybe I say sorry, take three hours out today two and a half

hours. I say sorry first, Yes, that is victorious Amen. Every

day. Well, now today forgivenessa on the spot. Quickly let go because

I am beginning to see God, this is your principle. This works and

straight away? Right, I am set free. Guys, if the victorious

Christian life is this every day, I'm set free more and more, we

say, right, work in progress, never mind, We've got a lot

of things to set free from U. By the way, Okay, as

we work through our life today, I'm set free a bit more. I

think I feel as a mom, No, God, you would give me

a wisdom for today. I'm gonna walk through this a little bit more.

I'm gonna depend on You know, what success is is becoming more and more

and more and more dependent on God. That is success. That is victorious

Christian living. It's not saying I know more, I have more charisma,

I have more skills, I have more degrees. You know how many degrees

you want? I don't know. But it's just saying God, I recognize

that as I walked through my Christian life, the more I know, the

more I don't know. The more I think I know of something, the

more I recognize God, I don't know. You know, Heaven rules means

I know? You know Chaco, that's enough. Do you think you know

recently? I was in Okay, not recently. I'm in this alone mine

with my previous company. And these are a lot of mega thinkers and all

that, right, And they're talking about China in India the economic situation,

which one is going to grow faster? Do you know A surprisingly I don't

know why I want to share this, but in China there's only last year

ten million birth only in the entire country. That's alarming, right. It

means it's an aging population, so there's gonna be repercussions after this, let's

not go into that. But then they're talking about, oh, now,

now India is going to be the next superpower because they're still growing, they're

making babies everywhere, um and and then then the discussion went over to like,

well what about AI now right? I don't know whether you are threatened

by this thought of AI or have you tasted the powers, the so called

capability of AI. You will be amazed. I have tried it and it

just blows your mind. A. But hello, you think God doesn't know

that AI was gonna come in twenty Did you think that God was like,

oh suddenly, God, this AI. I don't know how to deal with

this AI? Did you think that way? Then you you beat yourself out

your friend Frenzy and you go like, oh no, no technology, how

it's gonna affect me? And I'm like, hey, stop starting as A

take that step back and say God, what are you showing me right now?

Because if you don't see how God sees things, you will react just

like how the world reacts. But believers, we have a bigger and a

higher calling. Amen. Amen. So firstly, how do we put on

this heavenly lenses each day? Heaven rules acknowledge God, bring God immediately into

that institution. One of the things that I learned through discipleship here in X

is prayer. You know, prayer. Sometimes you get prayer links right,

and then you got like, okay, we'll pray, operate. I don't

know whether you really pray, but what I have learned from my other leader

was immediately, when there's a prayer, pray at the spot right now,

declare it. Firstly, it helps you to really pray and not be a

hypocrite and say I prayed, but you didn't pray. But secondly, it's

prayers acknowledging God in every situation, in every need that comes up. Right

now, God help me. God, we acknowledge God. We bring your

perspective into this situation right here, right now. My marriage is in the

problem. I'm going to acknowledge you right now, right here, right now,

God, you come. My child is misbehaving, my child is sick.

Right now, right here, God, we acknowledge your presence here because

all of us carry the spirit of God. Hello, God didn't leave you

offense. You know why do we not engage in the power that God has

given us? Straight away? You ask, Holy Spirit, you come,

right now, straight away, you're seeing things from a different light. Amen.

Acknowledge God, bring him into every situation. Get acquainted with trials and

test things, because that's gonna come. Don't be surprised, Yeah, don't

be surprised that the situation we are in sometimes, right, you know,

we we tend to say things as it is, like are so hot?

Now? Right? God? You know why is the weather so hot?

Yes, he'd wave, how many of you like it? No? But

I had to take a step back and repent because I said, God,

this is the weather that you have made. Did Did God make a wrong

choice? Did he make a bad decision? Many of it right? Is

our own doing. It was on layatinning? Who who put on economn Who's

the one who drove the car to church this morning? Out right? And

we said, God, why are you not doing anything? Acknowledging God,

Man, this world is dying, it is, it's almost on the path

of self destruction. But you see, I can only take that perspective if

I know the word of God, if I read God's word, if I

know that God Jesus has already said in the last days, and we are

living in the last days, there will be wars and rumors or wars.

There will be famines and earthquakes. Are you surprised? Jesus already said,

so, why do we become fearful? Why? Why why do we get

scared? We shouldn't, Jesus already said, And I know if anything that

you want to go home with, I know that at the end, Jesus

wins. That's it. The core message and the hope of a Christian is

Jesus wins. Amen. Do you all believe this? Jesus wins over every

sickness, over every trial. Jesus says, do not be troubled, for

I have overcome the world. There will be trials and tribulations. He already

said it. There will be right now, you're Indian. That's what it

is. There are trials and tribulations in our lives. But Jesus has overcome

the world. Heaven rules. Amen. And finally, is this whatever that

we are speaking, I pray that you will now begin to align what you

say with what you see. It's really a perspective thing, right, Check

your hearts, check what you're saying on your social media, in your bedroom,

in your thoughts. Am I speaking God's power? Do you know,

just a last bit, how does marry the mother of Jesus take on this

lenses? Right? So she had to watch her own son go to the

cross and die. Moms, the moment your child go, they hurt themselves

already, your heartbreak right into a meli and pieces. And this is Mary

seeing how Jesus was betrayed, how he took every struck on his body,

how the crown of tons was pushed into his mom's is your heartbreaking for your

child? And yet Mary could not do anything right. She was just at

the corner observing all this, and it didn't say much more anything about her

life, except when Jesus told John the Disciple and say, no longer do

I call you mother? Right, but you are now woman? And sometimes

for us, right, we have to shift from a position of just being

a mom, being a wife, being whatever that you think your role is,

to acknowledging that I am now just someone who needs a savior. Because

we say this, right, moms, you're strong, you're capable, you're

reliable. But I think there needs to be a place where we come before

God and say God, you are my savior, you are my lord and

my master. Before I can do all those things, I have to come

to a place where I acknowledge I need a savior in my life. Do

you know that? What's amazing about the life of Mary. In x Chapter

one, you will read that as the disciples were gathered in the upper room,

she was there one of them. She was one of the disciples.

We forget sometimes right where we think that our role is just limited to whatever

that we are called to do, wife, husband, mom, father,

worker. At the end of the day, Mary knew that her calling was

to be a disciple of Jesus Christ disciples. She was there praying, spreading

the good news. And this is the I want to remind us that this

Heaven rules perspective, right, It's not just enough to be contained with my

own life, you know, my blessing, my prosperity, my health,

because again that is this reality. It's about me as long as I'm okay,

as long as my family is okay. It's gonna be all right as

long as that, and then God is good. But do you know that

the real heaven rules perspective? Right, it's just saying God, I know

that you have saved me, You've redeemed me. Now my role is to

go and tell others and to make disciples of all the nations. Do you

know that Mary obey Jesus's last command to go and make disciples of all the

nations. Do you know? Sometimes we think our mother our role is just

limited to that, but we are called to make disciples all of us.

There's a method. What you are, campus student, teenager, young,

working adult. You might be older, but I pray that your faith will

be so young and passionate and on fire for godly man. We hope you've

been blessed by this message. For more information on our church, please visit
