The Battle of the Mind Sunday 18th Feb 2024

To prepare your heart. Ask the Lord to speak to you. Ask the

Lord to teach yourself as you knew. Ask the Lord to visit you,

to answer the questions on your mind, to give you peace. To speak

to any situation that has bothered you for a very long time. Anything can

happen while you're hearing the word of God. Ask the Lord to open up

your heart to receive from him this morning. This is not a time to

be quiet. Just present your expectations to God this morning. You have a

few seconds left. This is your child Jesus name. Be pray with thanksgiving,

now with Jesus' joy, with a standing ovation, and with all the

excitement you have in you. Let's welcome our very own shepherd, Reverend grown

Charelli. Do it better for Jesus? Thank you? Oh hallelujah, I

said, hallelujah. Are you in church this morning? Oh? Can you

give the Lord a better hand? Class? Amen? Amen? He's a

good God. It is God good. Has God been good to anybody?

Are you sure? And so your response to the goodness of God should be

thanksgiving. Amen. So this morning we are grateful to God for another opportunity

to be gathered in His presence again. Amen, I'll be half of our

father and the Lord. The artisbashal Nicholas, thank Williams. This morning.

You are all welcome to church. Amen, I said, Amen, you're

not excited to beat church? Or you've not eating this morning? Please ask

your neighbor have you eateing? Or you haven't eaten? People are quiet because

they're not eating. Nowhere close very sooner will go. Okay, hey man,

We thank you that you've protected us, you've watched jealously over us.

We thank you that you have gathered us together again under the banner of your

love. We thank you, oh God, that you did and let the

enemy prevail against your children. And so this morning we have returned with all

the thanksgiving in our hearts for every testimony that you have given to your children.

We bless your name for every healing, and we thank you for every

deliverance of your people in the precious name of your son Jesus. As we

have come, we have come out to Mount Sion the heal of the Lord.

We have come to encounter you. We have come to hear from you.

And so Lord, this morning, let them be deliverance for your people

from your word this morning. Letther be healing for your people, from your

word this morning. Let them be transformation for your people from your word in

the precious name of your son Jesus. And as your word comes, Oh

that our hearts will be in our minds will have understanding in the precious name

of your son Jesus. We give you all thanks, and we give you

your praise. Jesus. Fighting a let her believe us, say and Amen,

and please give your neighbor a high five while you comfortably sit in the

presence of the Lord. Amen, Oh hallelujah. Amen. And so we

thank God for another day. Amen. And so you see the testimony that

Danielle gave that is the practicality of faith. The practicality of faith. So

she had a terrible headache, and then instead of focusing on the headache,

the Holy Spirit put a song in her heart. So the moment she started

to sing the song, the headache ran away. Amen. We need to

start applying ourselves to everything we learn here, Amen, because God wants you

to have the ability to overcome every situation. People who don't have testimonies are

not overcomes. Amen. Revelationship the twelvest and the Bible says that for they

overcame him, they overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb and by

the word of their testimony. And so one sign that you are overcoming is

that you have testimonies to share. Amen. And so if from the beginning

of the year to now you don't, you've not had a testimony yet.

Your prayer should be the God I want to overcome. I I am an

overcomer, So let me overcome in every circumstance, so I can also testify

your goodness. Can I hear an Amen? Amen? So that will be

your story in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. In the past few weeks we've

been dealing with the mind. We've been learning a lot about the mind.

And so let's have Romance chapter twelve, vers. Two, which has been

our foundation scripture. Let's start from verse one to vers t too. Romance

Chapter twelve, Verse one to verse two. And the whole point of this

teaching is for us to be conscious of ourselves and the potential we have as

children of God, so that we guard ourselves from the influence of the world

and from the influence of the enemy. Amen, and so impulse letters to

the church in Rome. He to them, I besiech thee. Therefore,

brethren, by the messies of God, that you present your body's a living

sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. So today I'll

try and explain what a living sacrifice is and also touch a little bit on

our reasonable service to God. All right, verse two, And do not

be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that you may prove what that is good, acceptable, and perfect will

of God. The desire of God is for you, as a child of

God, to know His will, for you, for you to walk in

His will. We've come to understand that Jesus is teaching on the pattern of

prayer. He said that Lord, lets your kingdom come. Let your will

be done on earth. The Kingdom of God is important because the Kingdom of

God can be expressed through you as a child of God. Amen. And

we've come to know and understand that the Kingdom of God is everywhere. God

reigns, God rules, and the will of God is done. So God

wants his will to be done through you. God wants to influence your mind

and your heart so his will in your life can come to pass. And

by God's will coming to pass in your life, you realize that the Kingdom

of God is established in you. Amen. I spoke to you about the

fact that Satan wants to control you. Satan wants to control your mind.

Satan wants to control you so that you are far away from everything that God

has purposed for you. But God is not in the business of controlling people.

Even the angels in heaven. God doesn't control them. Amen. And

when God created Adam, and if he gave them a choice, he said,

don't eat of this roots, the tree of the knowledge of good and

evil. Don't eat it, don't touch it. If it was me,

I will go far away from that tree. I will even go close to

that tree. But they made a mistake, you understand. And because God

is not in the business of controlling people, he has given you a will.

He has given you the ability to choose. And very often, when

God presents to you two situations, he will give you a recommendation that choose

the one that I want for you. Amen. But as to whether you

choose it or not, it's totally dependent on you. And the thing we

need to understand is that any choice we choose, we are responsible for the

outcome of the choices we make. We are responsible for the outcome of the

choices we make, all right, And so God wants to influence our minds

so that we can make the right choices, so that we can walk in

every plan and in every purpose He has clepos for us. Can I hear

any Amen? If you understand what I'm saying. Amen. And so the

writer said that present your body a living sacrifice. I spoke to you about

the key of sacrifices in the beginning of the year that one of the ways

in which you walk through open doors, which is our theme for the year,

is through the key of sacrifice. And we've looked at various types of

sacrifices, Prayer as a sacrifice, thanksgiving as a sacrifice, fasting as a

sacrifice. We looked at offering yourself as a living sacrifice wholly and acceptable to

God, also as a sacrifice in it. And so in order to understand

what a living sacrifice is and how we can offer to God. In the

Old Testament, God gave to Moses, who has head of brother Moses,

who as head of Moses. I'm not looking at the Moses in your classroom,

the Moses in the Bible. Amen. God gave to Moses a patent

for offering sacrifices, and he gave them. He gave him five types of

offerings of sacrifices that need to be sacrificed on the altar. All right.

The first one, so today's discussion is introduction our God, divide to it

later on, all right. The first offering he gave him as a sacrifice

was the bent offering. The bent offering. Now, the bent offering was

a type of offering that people come and do in the temple. It's all

usually done by the priest on behalf of the person or the family. They

come to the temple every year with a band offering. And what they do

is that depending on the magnitude of your sins, there's a prescription of which

animal you should bring to do the offering. Okay, so say, for

instance, if you've told a lie, you're supposed to bring maybe one small

rabbit. So if you tell one life, bring one small rabbits. So

if in the year if those ten lines, then you bring ten rabbits.

Say, for instance, if you've done something really bad, you're supposed to

bring one cow. See if you've done multiples of it, then it means

you owe many cows and men. How many of you know? How much

a good costs a go to or sheep? Who knows? Yeah, I

was how much? Six hundred? Hey? I sure? Wait where did

they tell I want to go and buy some? It's more than that seven

hundred and fifty. Okay, So you let's say, for benefit of a

doubt, eight hundred cities for one small good. And so when you tell

a lie one small good, which is how much eight hundred cities? And

then in a year you tell ten lies, so you multipply the eight timered

cities by ten. What is it eight thousand Gada cities? Please? Do

you have eight thousand Ganda cities for sacrifice every year? For telling a lie?

I don't think you do, amen. So that was the pattern then,

and the sacrifice based on your offering would sactify you for another year.

Okay. So when you come, the priest was sacrife the animal on an

altar and then ben the sacrifice completely thill, set fire to it and let

it ben overnight, so the fragrance of the sacrifice would go up, the

smoke will go up to God, and that God will accept your sacrifice and

pardon you. Do you understand? So that was the bent offering. Now,

God told Moses also about the grain offering, the grain offering, which

has to do with grains wheat. So there was a season where the grain

offering was also needed. He told him also about the peace offering, the

peace offering, and there was a time where the peace offering was also needed

as a sacrifice. And then there was a purification offering and the reparation offerings.

I will take time and take you through all these step by step,

amen. But the reason for it, especially the band offering, was offerings

or sacrifices for forgiveness of sins, offerings or sacrifices for forgiveness of sins.

Amen, how many of you have seen here before? If you have seen

before, give the Lord away and shame the devil. There's no there's no

shaming. Yes, you made a mistaken you have said their days God before.

Amen. So now, if we were to apply the pattern of the

Old Testament to the sins you have committed, Please ask your neighbor how much

will be owing God? Please ask them how much do you think you'll be

owing God? One hundred one? Amen? But you see John three sixteen.

The Bible says that for God so loved the world that he gave his

only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have

everlasting life. The reason Jesus came was to come and pay for all the

sins of humanity, so that we don't need to bring to God a goat.

We don't need to bring to God a sheep. We don't need to

bring to God doves or rabbits, or a cow or a cop a man.

But that because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary,

Jesus has paid for all our sins. He has paid for it one time,

for all our sins. I hope you understand. So in this dispensation

of the New Testament, our sins are taken care of by the blood of

Jesus. Amen. So if you make a mistake as a child of God,

the Bible says that when you make a mistake, confess your sins to

God, and because He is faithful and just, he will forgive you your

sins. Amen. You don't need to go and buy goods to wear and

a peace God that God had made him stake. So police, you take

one goods and forgive me my sins. The blood of Jesus has already paid

for it. So the demand for justice, which is death for sin,

has been paid for by the blood of Jesus. So if ever you make

a mistake, you plead the blood of Jesus, which is already established,

to bring forgiveness for you. Amen. How many of you know that when

you go instill something from somebody and the police catch you and they take you

to the police station, they are not now coming to write a new law

as to what to do to you. There is an existing law already for

people who steal goods. If you don't try stealing the goods, do you

understand there is an existing law already, So when they catch you as an

offender of that law, the law is already there. So they will apply

the law to you, and then you'll be smiling at the wrong side of

your mouth because the outcome will be nice. Amen. So there is also

an existing payment for the sense of humanity, which is a bent offering that

Jesus offered on the cross of Calvary. Amen. And ever since Jesus shared

his blood on Calvary, the blood of Jesus is speaking for us. The

blood of Jesus is speaking for us, messy, messy, messy for us

at all times. Do you understand the Bible says that the blood of Jesus

and the blood of Sprinkling it speaks better things. So the blood of Jesus

is speaking for us. What better things can you say to yourself? The

blood of Jesus is speaking better things for me. Amen. So, whenever

you are in a situation where Satan is trying to bend your mind, that,

oh, by you, yesterday you did this one. You were watching

porn on on telegram. You say you are Christian, you are doing something.

You understand. You are able to plead the blood of Jesus and declare

that the blood of Jesus speaks for me better things, which includes forgiveness.

Amen. Bo, can I hear better? Even? Or the people are

thinking because yes the day it is something? Are they in church? Or

they didn't come to change? They didn't come to change? Amen? So

because of what Jesus has done for us, Paul rights to the church in

Rome that offer yourself a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, because that

is your reasonable service. Do you understand that is your reasonable service? If

we come, let me use her and as an example, you are in

school right? Please come? Who pays your school fees? Mom? Your

mom? She's been paid your schoofee since you went to school. Great,

So now what do you want to be in future? A psychologist? A

psychologist she would diagnose their mind. So this teaching is good for your power.

Amen, when you have become a psychologist, do you owe your mom

any gratitude? Yes? What gratitude you would you owe your mom? Then?

For paying my school fees? For paying your school fees? How many

of you know that it is not obligatory for parents who pay children's schoofies.

Yes, because there are many parents who don't pay schoofies. Do you understand

if you don't go to that cram or you see that you're not walking around,

nobody pays your schoofies. Do you understand? So, the responds in

showing gratitude to your parents for paying your schoolfees is to honor them, is

to say thanks to them. So it becomes your reasonable service to your parents

or your mom to honor her and always say thanks. Do you understand?

So when you don't honor your mom or say thanks, then what is it?

Your service is unreasonable? Then it means you are very unreasonable towards your

home. Do you understand. Imagine your parents have taken you to a good

school. You're paying big money to keep you in that school. But then

you go and you are playing the fool. When we talk about the person

in the school who is a fool, by you are the one. It

means your service to your parents is unreasonable in every case. Do you understand?

So? Now, because of what Jesus has done for us, our

reasonable service to him is to offer ourselves and living sacrifice to him. Do

you understand? Oh? Are you understanding me? Do you understand the English

I'm saying? Or as you speak tree? The English is okay? Your

reasonable service to God as a child of God is to offer yourself and living

sacrifice to God. Thank you for not to always remain in sin, but

to try your best to live a holy life for God. Amen. Because

of what Jesus did, you are now the righteousness of God. How many

of you believe you are the righteousness of God? The Bible says that we

are the righteousness of God. Yes, based on what Jesus did for us.

Now, you need to live a holy life as your reasonable service to

God. Can I hear an? Amen? If you understand? So,

you need to live a holy life. Amen. Sometimes you need to run

away from situations that will make you unholy. And if the situation makes you

unholy, it means that your service to God is unreasonable. Because God expects

your reasonable service. You need to be able to stay away from some friends.

Amen. Yesterday I was outside washing my cast so that we come to

change today, and then the security guy came to help me wipe the car,

and I asked him there was another security guys. I asked him,

where is the other guy? He said, oh, he's gone home.

And for some reason I remembered something that somebody has said about him, that

he likes to smoke. He smokes we ganger, and that he's been smoking

this inside the bathroom. So I asked him, as the boy stopped smoking

or he's still smoking. He said, oh, he looks at he's still

smoking. And I said, when he comes, tell him this is what

I've picked up. If he doesn't stop smoking, you go mad. Yes,

if he doesn't stop smoking, he will go mad. Do you understand?

And so that is the outcome. But I've told him the right thing.

So it is his responsibility to save God himself and to try to stop,

to turn away from evil friends that lead him to smoke. He gets.

So your reasonable service to God, as a child of God is to

offer yourself as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Amen.

Let's look at Hebrews chapter nine, verse thirteen two fourteen. Hebrews nine thirteen

to fourteen, and want to understand the scope of what Jesus has done for

us. Let's look at verse twelve and look up to thirteen. Okay,

give me Vess eleven. Let me see. Yes, So it says that,

what but Christ, when you see Christ, he's talking about Jesus.

Okay, So in the Bible somewhere you see Jesus Christ, or you see

Christ Jesus. When you see Jesus Christ, it means that the writer is

referring to the personality of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you understand when you

see Christ Jesus the Bible is speaking of his office as the Exalted One,

as the son of the Mosaiah God. Do you understand, as the administrator

of all things in the Kingdom of God? Do you understand? So he

says that, but Christ came as a high priest of good things to come.

Christ Jesus, he came as a high priest of good things to come

with the greater and more perfect tap knuckle not made with hands that is not

of this creation. Next verse, not with the blood of goats and cows.

Do you understand the band's sacrifices or the bent offerings of the past was

done with goats and cows cows. But this New Testament, or this new

tap knuckle, is not with goats, the blood of goats and with cows.

And dogs, and no, no, no no. But with his

own own blood, Jesus shed his own blood, he entered the most holy

place once for all, having obtained e tenal redemption. So what Jesus did

by shearing his blood was that he obtained e tener forever, everlasting redemption for

every child of God. Amen. Next verse For if the blood of bulls,

do you know what the bullies? Yes, you know what the bullet

is. Some people don't know. If you don't know, please wave and

let's explain what the bullets. Okay, you'll know what a bullets. If

the blood of bulls and goats and ashes of a heifer sprinkling, they all

clean sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh. What is saying, give me

nalty for this. If the blood of bulls and goads can sanctify in the

older days, it could sanctify a person for cleansing. Under the old system,

the blood of gods and bulls and ashes of a young cow could cleanse

people's bodies from ceremonial impurities. So when they bring that sacrifice and they offered

it can cleanse their bodies so then they are not impure before God anymore.

Verse fourteen. Just think how much more the blood of Jesus will purify our

conscience. The blood of Jesus will not only purify our bodies, but it

will purify our conscience from sinful deeds so that we can worship the Living God.

So the blood of Jesus has the ability to format your brain. Amen.

How many of you have had a pen drive that probably had a virus

on it. You want to copy something and there was a virus on it.

The only thing, the only way you can restore your pen drive is

to format it clean so that the virus is not on it again. So

the blood of Jesus can format your mind from sinful deeds so that you can

worship the Living God. Amen. And so please tell your neighbor your mind

can be formatted by the blood of Jesus. Amen. But you need to

allow yourself for God to format your mind. Amen. Yes, you need

to allow God to format your mind. Some people have been traumatized since they

were growing up, and they have that trauma in their mind, so that

trauma has become a stronghold, has become a source of imprisonment in their mind.

But if you allow God to format your mind to cleanse your conscience,

then you set you free from it. Amen. So then it says that

by the power of the eternal Spirit Christ, Jesus offered himself to God a

perfect sacrifice for our sins. Do you understand Jesus offered himself to God as

a perfect sacrifice for our sins. So we need to offer ourselves to God

as a living sacrifice. Also, which is our reasonable service? Can I

hear an? Amen? It looks like today you are very quiet, the

message you're thinking very hard. If the message you're thinking, give the Lord

away and say thank you Jesus. Amen. And so the reason why we

need to offer a reasonable service to God Lord number one is that the cost

of our salvation is greater than any other sacrifice that has ever been made.

The cost of our salvation is greater, is far greater than any other sacrifice

that has ever been made on this earth, because it cost God the blood

of his son to save us. Of you understand. And so God became

man and dwelt amongst men, and he was killed by men, so that

the sons of men can become the sons of God. We understand. Yes,

in the spirit, we are all sons of God. In the spirit,

we are all sons of God. So God sent his son to come

and die so that the sons of men who were sinful can be redeemed from

their sins and the effects of their sins. So that the sons of men

who have now been transformed can now become the sons of God. Amen.

So that when you are having a headache, instead of praying and casting out

the headache, you can think, O, niche, Yeah, you are

the God of someone, and the headache will disappear. Amen. Because of

the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. Amen. So number one, the cost of

our salvation is far greater than anything that has ever been done. Amen.

Number two, the redemptive work of Christ, Jesus has the power to save

lives and to transform lives. The redemptive work of Jesus, Christ has the

power to transform lives. Amen. It is only Jesus who can save a

person who is a thief and the person will not be a thief anymore and

totally transform the person into a pastor who is teaching and preaching God's word.

Do you understand it is only Jesus who can save a drunkard who you know

those type of you who drink drinker and then they can't you walk and do

end up in the gatha, do sleep in the gartha overnight? It is

only Jesus who can save such a person and make this person a worthy human

being. Do you understand with their testimony, it is only Jesus who can

save a prostitute. You see why you drive through counter winds and now you

see them turning by the ruse. It is only Jesus who can save them

and make them a pastor's wife. Do you understand? So it is only

Jesus and his redemptive power that can transform lives. Amen. Yes, it

is only Jesus who can save someone whose body count is one thousand and change

the person completely. Do you understand, Yes, it is only Jesus who

has the ability to change lives and to transform the lives of people. Amen.

Number three, We have obtained righteousness from God. We have obtained righteousness

from God, but offering ourselves as a living sacrifice is our responsibility. We

have obtained righteousness from God. We are now the righteousness of God. But

to be able to offer ourselves a living sacrifice to God in holiness is our

responsibility. Amen, it is our responsibility. So holiness is a daily lifestyle.

Amen, conscious daily lifestyle to be able to offer yourself a living sacrifice?

Upon too, God, Can I hear an Amen? Amen? And

so it becomes our reasonable service. So if you are not doing all these,

then what is your service to God? Unreasonable? It means your service

to God is Please look for the dictionary meaning of unreasonable. Give me other

single names of what unreasonable is. Amen. Unreasonable it means your service to

God is unreasonable. But God wants us to give him reasonable service. And

a reasonable service is a service that considers what God has done. Amen,

It's what considers what God has done. You know, we are still talking

about the mind, and all of this is from the mind. To be

able to offer reasonable service comes from your conscience, mind and because of what

Jesus has done to cleanse our conscience and our mind, so we can offer

ourselves a living sacrifice. We ought to offer a reasonable service up onto God?

Can I hear an? Amen? Now, your mind is in your

head. And do you know that everywhere the head thinks, the body goes.

So it is the head that leads the body. How many senses are

on the head. You have the sense of sight, it's on the head.

The sense of hearing is on the head. The sense of taste is

on the head. What other sense is on the head? Sorry, smell

is on the head. So when you are going home and you start smelling

food that your mother is making and is really nice, you see that your

head will be leading before you know your body tho is leading. Do you

understand? Many people are led into trouble just because of what they've seen.

They see and then they are following and they walk into trouble. Many people

here and the chalning, let's go here, let's go here, and they

follow and they end up in trouble. So the head leads the body.

Do you understand? And I spoke to you about the conditions of the mind,

the canal mind, which is an enemy to God because it does not

submit to the will of God, the purpose of God, or the counsel

of God. The canal mind is rebellious against God. So if your mind

is rebellious against God, then it means your whole body is rebellious against God.

It means you everything you do will be in rebellion against God. I

spoke to you about the reprobate mind or the debased mind. The debased mind

is someone who doesn't believe the existence of God, and so because of that,

God has made their minds darkened. There is no light in them.

They can't receive light. And they think they are wise, but they are

the most foolish people on earth. Some of them are even professes, but

they are the most foolish people on earth. We know that one plus one

is two. They will come and stand and say one plus one is seven,

and they will bring mathematical equations to disprove, to prove that it's a

seven to understand. But we also have the accurate mind or the sound mind

to understand. So the question now is how can you have a sound mind

as a child of God? How can you have a sound mind as a

child of God? Because a sound mind is a mind that God can influence.

Efficiency of the sixth West ten. A sound mind is a mind that

God can influence. Is our Bible coming? Okay? Who has a Bible

to read for us? Efficient Chapter's six lest ten? You see the reason

why you need to bring your bible to change? Yes, because they dad

the Bible on the screen decides that I'm gonna leave a man efficient Chapter's six.

Let's ten. Read on. It's not working, Okay, Come and

use my mind. Come. Oh, it's on the screen. Okay.

The Bible on the screen is come. Okay. So it says that finally,

my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His

mind. How many of you remember when I was teaching on how to be

a strong Christian? Strong Christian or those who are those who listen to theirself

that they are not here. If you are here and I preach how to

be a strong Christian, I don't remember anything. That shame on you.

The joke is on you. Amen, be strong in the Lord and in

the power of His might. Verse eleven. Put on the whole armor of

God, so that you may be able to withstand or stand against the wiles

of the devil. So in order to have a sound mind, you need

to put on the whole arm of God. Let's look at what the whole

arm of God is Verse twelve. For we do not wrestle against flesh and

blood. Our battles as Christians. It is not against people we can see.

Amen. Our battles in this life as children of God is against unseen

enemies. How many of you have watched any military movie or spy movie where

you've seen them in the night. They wear the night vision goggles in order

to see things in the dark. Yes, so our enemies are in the

dark and you can't see them with your natural eyes. You need to put

on night vision goggles to see them. Amen. But against principalities, against

powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of

wickedness in heavenly places. Only you see the number of things that you are

fighting against. And you don't want to be a strong Christian. It means

you have already determined the outcome of your life. You are going to lose

pity, do you understand? So you need to be a stronger and you

need to put on the whole armor of God. Next verse please verse thirteen

for take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to

withstand in the evil day, having done or to stand, It says,

having done all, to stand next verse verse fourteen. Stand therefore, and

this is the description of the arm of God having guarded. Give me the

wordgicle nlt so that we break it down to modern day English. Stand your

ground. Putting on the belt of truth. Putting on the belt of truth.

The belt of truth comes from the truth of God's Word. And the

body armor of righteousness, the breastplate of righteousness that one God has given to

you. You are now the righteousness of God. And the breastplate of righteousness

Gods your heart. It protects your internal organs so that Satan doesn't have access

to fight you. And to psu Amen, did the thing crash again?

Putting on the breastplate of righteousnes, Yes, who can read on for us?

And your feet shored with the preparation of the Gospel of peace for shoes.

Put on the peace that comes from God, from the Good News,

so that you'll be fully prepared Verse sixteen. In addition to all these things,

hold fast to the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the

devil. Verse seventeen. Put on salvation as your helmet. Put on what

as your helmet. So what will secure your mind as a child of God

is to receive the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus, and to constantly remember

that Jesus Christ has saved you. That is what will secure your mind,

and that's what will give you a sound mind. Now, what is salvation

in Christ Jesus? The Bible says that for Christ, Jesus came to his

own, but his own rejected him. His own did not receive him.

But as many as received him to them gave he power to be called the

children of God. Amen. So, if you have not received Jesus Christ

as your Lord and your personal savior, you are not eligible for the best

benefits of salvation. Amen. So by wearing the helmet of salvation, you

are protecting your mind. Please ask your neighbor, are you wearing the helmet

of salvation? Please? What did they tell you? They said yes?

Did anybody not give an answer? Amen? And So the helmet of salvation

provides hope and protects your mind against that which can disorient you and that which

can destroy your life through discouragement and deceit. Amen. And so the helmet

of salvation also reminds us that we have been saved by grace through faith and

not of wax efficiency. At two A Tonight Ephicients Chapter two is eight Tonight,

God saved you by his grace when you believed. God saved you by

his grace when you believed you can't take credit for it. It is a

gift from God. Amen. Other version says that we are saved by grace

through faith. It is not of works that anyone should boast. So salvation

is a free gift from God. Amen. So salvation brings us hope,

and salvation reminds us constantly you should remember that you have been saved by grace.

Amen. When you are walking by and you see them they've caught a

thief and you're eating them, you should say, oh, thank you Jesus.

I could have been a thief myself. Do you understand That is remembering

that you are saved by grace. Amen. You are saved by grace through

faith. When you are passing by you see some children begging for money,

it say Lord, thank you for saving me. This could have been me.

Do you understand this could have been me? If you are walking by

the road side, I see some drunkard who is walking and Charlie is some

old man gray hair is he's drunk, poth or he doesn't know want to

do himself, say oh Jesus, thank you for saving me. This could

have been my future. Hey, this could have been my future. Do

you understand? So you are constantly reminded that you are saved by grace through

faith. Amen. When you are in school, your mommy and daddy are

driving you to school, you are enjoying their condition and you see some children

walking on the road side, Charlie, they are sweating. They have to

work for like two hours to get to school. You say, God,

I thank you for saving me because this could have been my reality. Amen.

When people are jumping inside troutro and coming out and you you're sitting there

conditioning, you have to say thanks to God because this could have been my

daily reality. Amen. So salvation reminds us constantly that God has been good

to us. Amen. So you need to constantly remember. Now take a

few points on what the helmet of salvation does for your head. Number one,

By putting on the helmet of salvation, you are putting on Christ Jesus

himself. By putting on the helmet of salvation, you are putting on Christ

Jesus himself because it is no longer you, but it is Christ who lives

in you. Amen. It is no longer you, but Christ Jesus who

lives in you. Number two, By putting on the helmet of salvation,

you are having the same mind as Christ Jesus had Philippines, Chapter two,

verse four. Let this mind be in you as was in Christ Jesus.

So you are putting on the helmet of salvation, and you are having the

same mind as Christ Jesus had. The mind Christ Jesus had was a mind

of humility and gentleness. Christ Jesus had the mind of humility and gentleness.

And so putting on the helmet of salvation, you are putting on the mind

of Christ. Number three. By putting on the helmet of salvation, you

are being kingdom minded. You are being kingdom minded matth Chapter six or thirty

three. But seeking first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all

these other things shall be added onto you. Amen. In the Kingdom of

God, it is not about self. Love in the Kingdom of God is

love your neighbor as yourself. In the Kingdom of God, it is not

about me, myself and I. In the Kingdom of God, it is

about us the brethren. It is about the brethren. It is about the

children of God. Amen. So, by putting on the helmet of salvation,

you are having the mind of the kingdom. You have a kingdom mind

set. Amen. And you can only have a kingdom mindset when God has

pedged your mind from sinful deeds by the blood of Jesus. And finally,

the helmet of salvation gives hope for the future. The helmet of salvation give

hope for the future. Colossians, Chapter one, verse twenty seven. Colosians,

Chapter one, verse twenty seven. We're shipped, insurer, Please play

the piano first Colosions, Chapter one, verse twenty seven. And the Bible

says that to them God willed to make known what are the richest of the

glory of His mystery among the gentiles? Which is christ in you the hope

of glory? Amen? Please, I'm going to say christ in you,

and your response should be the hope of glory, christ in you, christ

in you, christ in you. Amen. How many of you are here

and you are worried about your future? How many of you are worried about

your future? Here? Why are you worried about your future? You don't

know how your future will be. It's a valid consent, Do you understand,

But christ in you the hope of glory because we know who holds the

future inese hands. Do you understand we know who holds the fu Chinese hand.

And it's Jesus Christ who holds the Fu Chinese hand. So, as

a child of God, who is wholly submitted to the will of God,

your future is already pretty tervid. Your future is already pretty terved. The

Bible says that the parts of the righteous it shines brighter and brighter and brighter

and brighter and brighter onto the perfect Nay. So if you have Christ in

you, then you have hope of glory. And then so christ in you,

christ in you, christ in you. You don't believe it because how

you're even saying it means you don't believe in your future. You have hope

for the future. Amen, some of you, your hope in your future

is your your mother and your father. Because your mother and father have money,

so you know your future is secure. But I guess what, there

are people here who don't have a father. They lost their father when they

were babies. Do you understand. So your hope should be in God because

it is only he who can determine the outcome of your life. And then,

so christ in you, I said, christ in you, christ in

you. I want you to say it like you, please stand on your

feet I was standing you last week that I like to day dream a lot

when I was growing up, and everything, by the grace of God that

I used to like to daydream about, has come to pass, and I'm

daydreaming some more because God will break you to pass. Amen. The reason

why I'm confident in it is because I have Christ, and it's because I

know that because Jesus is in my boat, he would lead me to the

expected end. Amen. So christ in you, christ in you, christ

in you. Please ask your neighbor is Christ is of you or not?

Eh? So one of you should say christ in you to your neighbor.

I let them respond. This will be a new response going forward. Please

say their gameler. Please say it again. If you are not convinced of

the answer that they are giving you, please say it's again. Amen.

You can't say the hope of glory where you're from your face. It means

you don't have We don't have hope for the future. Amen. You just

smile because you believe what you are saying. That God is able to bring

you to unexpected man. And so these are new greeting Amen, all shepherds

and all AMC's. When you come and stand here christ in You. These

are greeting Amen, so that we'll get to know those who have Christ inside

them and those who don't have so we can help them christ in You,

Amen. And so we want to pray just a short prayer. The Lord

Jesus renew my mind page, my mind page, my conscience of sinful deeds,

so that I can offer myself to God and living sacrifice as my reasonable

service. Do you ll go? Let us be your prayer at this moment.

Thank you, Jesus blessed be your name page our minds cleanse, our

conscience page. Our minds, cleanse our conscience by the blood of Jesus that

speaks better things for us, Oh God, the precious name of Jesus,
