-
So I just I joined twenty seventeen, and then I spoke to somebody
-
and then the out stay. I was struggling with it. I couldn't like,
-
I couldn't, I couldn't like resist. I didn't build my resistance yet,

so I kept paying, I kept reading my bag. And then I
-
kept telling myself that I'm not going back again, especially with living songs.
-
All there are times I'll be like, oh, wown't listen to any secular
-
music. But that was even what I was propelling their design for, like
-
those things spawning those things. So I kept even though when I say I
-
won't do it or end up doing it, I kept. I kept saying.
-
I kept professing that I'm not going to do it. I'm tired,
-
like my brain. So and then I de tended to give myself full time
-
to the Bible. So I kept studying, studying the Word so me.
-
For me, that's what I've been doing so far. I've been spending time
-
with God because once I'm spending time with Him, he takes away those those
-
bad effects. Aha. So there's been there's been some time now I've not
-
really gone back to it, and I'm grateful. I'm here for Hermen,

-
Hallelujah. Somebody, Amen, So you're welcome once again to church this
-
morning. It's a special Sunday. Amen. This is the day the Lord
-
has made. We will rejoice and we will be exceedingly glad in it.
-
Amen. And so if you are not yet glad, you need to stop
-
start propping yourself so that gladness will come to your heart this morning. Amen.
-
But I believe strongly that you will not leave the same way you came
-
to church this morning, because Jesus is here, and anyone who has encountered
-
Jesus, anyone who has ever encountered Jesus, has never remained the same I
-
encountered Jesus as a young boy, and my life has never been the same
-
again. Amen. And so God bless you for coming to church once again.
-
In the past few weeks, we've been dealing with the mind. We've
-
been dealing with Romance chapter twelve, verse two. Let's have Romance twelve two
-
on the screen, which Poll's letter to the church in Rome. He writes
-
to them that don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
-
renewing of your mind, so you will know what the will of God is,
-
the good will of God, the acceptable will of God, and the
-
perfect will of God is for your life. Amen. And so last week,
-
by God's grace, last week, by God's grace, we looked at
-
some types of mind conditions, mind conditions that potentially, as a child of
-
God, if you open yourself up to unhealthy thoughts, that those thoughts can
-
influence your mind to have that state of mind. Amen. And so we
-
looked at the canon mind or the natural mind that is an enmity with God
-
because it cannot receive anything from God. The can of mind is an enemy
-
to God in that it doesn't believe in God, it doesn't want to do
-
anything for God. It doesn't want to obey God's instruction. It just wants
-
to live by itself and rule by its and have its own way of life
-
a man. We look also at the anxious mind, in that as a
-
child of God, you can have an anxious mind. You can be anxious,
-
and anxiety will bring to bear fear in your life, and you become
-
a fearful Christian. When you hear of which you jump when you sleep and
-
you hear o ooh, then you are you are just you can't sleep again
-
till morning. You have fear. Everything you do will be based on fear.
-
Amen. But we've come to understand that God has not given us a
-
spirit of fear, but he has given us the spirit of power, of
-
love, and of a sound mind. Amen. That brings us to the
-
fourth mind state, which is the accurate mind or the sound mind. Amen.
-
Now you need to understand that Satan wants to control you. Please tell
-
your neighbor do you know Satan wants to control you? And how Satan will
-
control you is by controlling your mind, by bending your mind into subjection and
-
into submission. Amen. But God is not interested in controlling you. God
-
is interested in influencing you so that you take the right decisions for your life.
-
Amen. From the beginning of time, when God created the garden and
-
everything in it and created man, he said to Adam, I've created all
-
these things. There is every food you need to eat for the rest of
-
your life in this garden. But there is one tree, the tree of
-
What tree is that? The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
-
He says, don't eat of this tree, because the day you eat of
-
it, you will die. Do you understand. Someone will say that,
-
why didn't God just cover the tree, or didn't Why did he have to
-
create that tree. God is about giving you choices. And when he gives
-
you the choices, he will recommend to you what a good choice is,
-
so that you choose the right choice. Amen. At least that you will
-
never choose the right choice. Amen. And so God said that today I've
-
said, before your life and death, choose life. Do you understand,
-
Choose life, don't choose death, choose life. And so the mind is
-
an important asset to every child of God. Your mind is an important asset
-
to every child of God. Say, Time will control you through your mind.
-
God will influence you through your mind, so that you are able to
-
live according to His will, and he spent. Amen. How many of
-
you like to day dream? Yeah, all right, there's no shame in
-
it. Please give the Lord away and shame the devil. Amen. People
-
who don't daydream are not exercising their mind. Do you understand? Because before
-
God said, let us create man in our image and in our likeness,
-
man was already a figment of the thought of God. God thought about man,
-
and so by speaking thinking, he came forth with his mouth and said,
-
let us create man in our own image and likeness. The Bible says
-
that pass the man thinks in his heart, so he is. The Bible
-
also says that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
-
All right. So when I was growing up, about thirteen twelve years,
-
even earlier eleven years, I used to like daydreaming a lot. That was
-
my hobby. Our daydream and I will imagine how God will make my life
-
in future. Our daydream and imagine that in future I will have a wife,
-
I will have children. Our daydream that in future I will be a
-
pastor, and then I will be an engineer. I used to daydream that
-
I have a business. I have another business. I have another business,
-
Our own houses, our daydream that I live in a nice house. I
-
daydream. So when I'm daydreaming and you make noise, you destroy, You
-
make me very upset because daydreaming was my habby place. The mind has the
-
ability to create. And guess what, all the things I used to daydream
-
as a young boy, about eighty percent of them have come to pass.
-
Johnderstand Yes, have come to pass because when I was growing up, I
-
didn't grow up with my parents. So it was part of my heart desire
-
that one day, when God blesses me and I grow up, I'll have
-
my own car. I'll have my wife in the car I have visited by
-
me and my children will be at the back. That is my reality.
-
Now do you understand? So your mind has the ability to create things,
-
and God has made it that way so that you can think about things that
-
are outside of your present reality. If your present reality is that you share
-
a bedroom with five other siblings of yours and you have to sleep like sardines
-
in the room, you can begin to daydream. That's not too long from
-
now, I will have my own bedroom. I'll have my own bathroom inside
-
my bedroom. I'll have a bathtub in a condition in my bedroom. You
-
need to begin to exercise your mind so that God can influence an outcome of
-
your life. Can I hear? Amen? So your mind is an important
-
passet. Amen. And God wants to influence your mind with his thoughts because
-
Jeremiah twenty ninety eleven, God said that I know the thoughts that I think
-
towards you. They are good thoughts, not evil thoughts, thoughts to bring
-
you hope and the future, or thoughts to bring you to unexpected end.
-
So, if you are in school, start daydreaming. If you are in
-
SAgs, daydreaming that you are already doing medicine in university. All right,
-
start daydreaming that you are already attending to patience you accounts. You are a
-
computer engineer. You are doing wild things. You are developing AI point three
-
to understand. Start daydreaming so that God can influence your mind to bring it
-
to pas. Amen. Because the control Satan wants to have over your mind
-
is to stop you from thinking of anything outside of your presence circumstance. He
-
wants to pend your mind into subjection and into submission, but purpose in your
-
heart that it is only God who influenced your mind. Amen. Can you
-
lift it right and say, Lord, Holy Spirit, influence my mind the
-
name of Jesus, so that I can begin to think about things that you
-
have purpose for me in Jesus' precious name. Amen. And so I spoke
-
to you about the reprobate mind last week, the debates mind, the reprobate
-
mind that has see that God exists. The atheists will claim that there is
-
no God, but they are very preoccupied with the fact that a God exists,
-
and they are trying to disprove that God exists. And because of that,
-
God, say that you give them to a debased mind, and their
-
hearts will be darkened. So there is darkness in their mind and in their
-
hearts, all right. But the mind that God wants us to have is
-
a sound mind that can be influenced by the sprain of God. Amen.
-
And in light of that, today I want to speak to you about the
-
ultimate mind condition that God wants you to have, which is the mind of
-
Christ. Somebody say with me, the mind of Christ. Please say,
-
like you believe it, the mind of Christ. Amen. So let's look
-
at Philippians chapter two, verse five to eight as our foundation. Four this
-
very thing the mind of Christ. Can we read it together? Three to
-
one go, Amen, just hold it there. Verse five again, Please
-
now read it to your neighbor. Preach to your neighbor with the scripture.
-
Three to one go, Amen, preach to your other neighbor. Amen.
-
I can see some people. They are not preaching. They think we are
-
joking here. Hey, preach to your neighbor. Do you know what you're
-
doing. You are saving your neighbor because you don't know. Probably they did
-
some bad thing yesterday and they've come to church and they are pretending to be
-
Christians. But preach to them so that they would change. Can you preach
-
to your neighbor one more time? Three to one go? Amen. So
-
there is a mindset that Jesus had, and apos all to the church in
-
Philippi. He says to them, let the mind of Jesus be, and
-
you have the same mind and the same attitude as Jesus had. Amen.
-
So let's look at the NLT for Philippins two verse five Philippians two five and
-
them come to six. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
-
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. If you are
-
going to have the mind of Christ, you must have the same attitude that
-
Jesus had. Ver six. Though he was God, he did not think
-
of equality with God as something to cling to. Verse seven. Instead,
-
he gave up his divine privileges, took the humble possession of a slave,
-
and was born as a human being. And when he appeared in human form,
-
he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on the
-
cross. The mind of Christ, the primary characteristic of the mind of Christ,
-
is a mind of humility. Christ Jesus was humble. Jesus said that
-
I and my Father are one, and so if the Father is God,
-
then the son is God. So God came from eternity into humanity, and
-
he humbled himself. That he was accused as a criminal, Yet he didn't
-
respond. He was beaten like a mere criminal. He did not respond.
-
Soldiers who have not brushed their teeth in six months spat on him. He
-
didn't respond. They lashed him as though he has gone to steal somebody's good,
-
But he did not respond. The mind of Christ is humble. Amen,
-
and one of the keys have been teaching you from the being of the
-
year. One of the keys for open doors this year is the humility that
-
you need to humble yourself so that God will exult you. And in this
-
year anyone who humbles themselves go will exalt them far above Amen. So we
-
we are the way to being exalted. I don't know about you. If
-
you want to be exalted and join us, let us as before God.
-
Amen. The second characteristic is that of a mind of Christ. Is that
-
the mind of Christ is obedient to God and his word. The mind of
-
Christ is obedient to God and his word. You cannot claim to have the
-
mind of Christ and not obey the word of God. Obedience is a key
-
indicator that you have the mind of Christ, Amen, vers nine. Therefore
-
God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above
-
all other names, that are the name of Jesus. Every knee should bow
-
in heaven and on earth and under the earth because of the humility of Christ.
-
Jesus. His name is far exalted in the heavens, on the earth,
-
and under the earth. Everywhere you go, whether physical or in the
-
spiritual realm, Jesus' name is far above. And when you mention the name,
-
everybody needs to bow down and declare that Jesus Christ is wrong. Amen.
-
And so a few other characteristics of the mind of Christ is that the
-
mind of Christ thinks of things above. Things above. You think on the
-
word of God, what the Word of God says concern in your life.
-
The mind of Christ thinks about others. The mind of Christ is concerned about
-
others. Amen. How many of you called someone to tell them that jally,
-
I'll see you in church on Sunday. Anybody yes, or please give
-
the Lord away? I see a few handser, I see a few answer,
-
I see a few answer. I see a few answer. Please ask
-
your neighborhood. The didn't raise their hands, so you cry, what mine
-
you have? Please ask them again? You cry, what mind do you
-
have? Amen? The mind of Christ thinks about others because Jesus cared so
-
much about others. The Bible says that he went about doing good. You
-
get it. Jesus went about doing good, and so Jesus had a lot
-
of fellowship with his brethren. He had a lot of fellowship because he had
-
the mind of Christ. So uponing, saying to the church let this mind
-
be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. So have the same attitude
-
that Jesus Christ had, because now you are born again. Are you born
-
again? You believe you are born again? Do you believe you have the
-
spirit of God in you? Yes? Then you need to have the mind
-
of Christ. You need to be like Christ. You need to have the
-
attitude of Christ. Amen. The other characteristic of the mind of Christ is
-
that the mind of Christ does not entertain high things. The mind of Christ
-
is not proud. Just imagine Jesus Christ walking around and saying, hey,
-
do you know who I am? Do you know who I am? He
-
would not have been received, But because he was humble, he was received.
-
He went about reaching the Gospel to the poor, and they received him.
-
Amen. So the mind of Christ does not mind high things. If
-
you are here you have a problem with high things. Your horses in the
-
air, you always like high things. Be assured that God does not have
-
interested in you. Be very assured that God cannot use you for anything.
-
The people that God uses are people who are humble. Do you understand.
-
I was just meditating this morning. The woman who gave bed to the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. Mary. She was an ordinary girl. She was a humble
-
girl. Do you understand she was ordinary and humble. Those are the type
-
of people that God is interested in. Because God setches through the earth.
-
He looks through the earth looking for the humble ones that he can bring his
-
papers to bear in their lives. Amen. So please humble yourself so God
-
can lift you. Please tell your neighbor humble yourself so God can lift you
-
up. Amen. The mind of Christ resolved in honor. The mind of
-
Christ results in honor. And so with just your humble self, God will
-
begin to honor you when you least expected. Amen. So how can we
-
have the mind of Christ? How can we have the mind of Christ?
-
How can we have the mind of Christ? Number one? Let's look at
-
Matthew Chapter eleven West twenty nine. Matthey, chapter eleven West twenty nine.
-
Take my yoke, Let's do the NLT. Take my yoke upon you.
-
Let me teach you because I am humble and I'm gentle at heart, and
-
you will find rest for your souls. Let me teach you. This is
-
Jesus speaking. Says that let me teach you the way to walk or to
-
have the mind of Christ, so as let me teach you because I am
-
humble and gentle at heart. When you are a student, in order to
-
be able to receive instruction and to receive it well to the point that when
-
you are examined on it you can pass, it's for you to humble yourself
-
so that your teacher can teach you. An when you think you know more
-
than your teacher, there is a greater percentage that you be a bomber,
-
that you bomb your exams. Do you understand it doesn't matter how old you
-
are. When a professor who is a small boy comes to stand in front
-
of you, you need to forget how old you are, because what is
-
in this the guy's small head? You die. Your head is big time
-
stray. You don't have it, deside, So you need to humble yourself
-
to receive a man, but to be able to have the mind of Christ,
-
Jesus says, I let me teach you because I'm humble and I'm gentle.
-
A hurt. Amen, you won't be that arrogance boy or girl in
-
that neighborhood that everybody knows you both telling me that we do. If he
-
a rumble, you are beating everybody in the neighborhood, Jesus said, what,
-
I am humble and I'm gentle. You are not a quarrelsome girl.
-
Every everybody in that has heard your voice shouting above and sating decibel. Jesus
-
says, what, I'm humble and I'm gentle a hurt. So in order
-
to have the mind of Christ, we need to learn from Christ Jesus,
-
Amen. In order to have his attitude, we need to learn from Christ
-
Jesus himself. Amen. And so the scripture says that take my yoke upon
-
you, let me teach you, because I am humble and I'm gentle and
-
herd, and you find rest for yourself verse thirty. For my yoke it's
-
easy to bear, and my burden that I give you is light. He
-
says that the yoke of being humble and being gentle is easy to bear,
-
and the weight of it is light as compared to being proud, as compared
-
to doing your own thing, as compared to go in your own way.
-
And then let's look at John chapter thirteen, verse five. So Jesus said,
-
let me teach you. So want to know what Jesus will be teaching
-
us. John chapter thirteen, verse five John chapter thirteen, verst. Five,
-
John thirteen, vers. Fifteen A very pardon John thirteen fifteen. He
-
says, I have given you an example to follow. Jesus has given us
-
what. Oh talk to me. Jesus has given us what. Jesus has
-
given us what an example to follow? He says, do as I have
-
done to you? Verse sixteen. I tell you the truth, slaves are
-
not greater than their masters. So he's talking about himself and us. He
-
says, I've given you an example. Do as I have done. He
-
says you, you can't be greater than me. So learn, humble yourself,
-
and learn and do as I have done. Amen. And so the
-
Bible says in First John chapter two, past five to six. First John
-
chapter two, vers. Five to six. First John two five to six.
-
It's just that, but those who obey God's word truly show how completely
-
they love God. How many of you love God? Yet you are confident
-
you love God. Some people their hands are down because Charlie, they don't
-
love no God. Amen. Your confident you love God. The test that
-
you love God is when you obey God's word. Amen. Even you coments
-
that here you cry, Oh, I love you Jesus. And you don't
-
obey God's word, you're not obedient to God. God doesn't even see your
-
your crocodile tears, I fact, your mosquito tears. He doesn't see it.
-
The proof of your love for God is when you obey God. Amen.
-
And so the other characteristic of the mind of Christ is that the mind
-
of Christ is obedient to the word of God. The mind of Christ is
-
obedient to the voice of God. Let me tell you a secret, a
-
secret for prosperity in the Kingdom of God. Prosperity is a byproduct of obedience
-
in the Kingdom of God Matthew sixtety three. But siki fits the Kingdom of
-
God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added on to you.
-
So prosperity is a by product. It is not the main thing. It's
-
a by product in the Kingdom of God. And when you hear the voice
-
of God and you obey, you are guaranteed a hundredfold blessing. One hundredfold
-
blessing, do you understand. So if you hear the voice of God and
-
God says that give me an offering of fifty cities, and you obey,
-
the outcome of it is that not too long after that you will miraculously suddenly
-
come into the possession, the possession of five thousand cities. That's one hundred
-
fold Jhanasan. So if you want to prosper in the Kingdom of God,
-
you need to be obedient to every word of God that comes out of his
-
word and out of his mouth. Amen. Isaac was in a land where
-
there was farming, that was farming. There was no rain, but God
-
said, don't go to Egypt. So in this land he obeyed and he
-
sold. So let's say, for instance, if he had one one which
-
called a sack of corn that he sought, he had one hundred fold of
-
it. So just imagine if there were five hundred thousand corn corn, you
-
know, single, single, single, five hundred thousand inside, and he
-
sold all of it one hundred want apply the five hundred thousand by a hundred
-
we are the mathematicians. Someone will say that you are getting plenty. And
-
he became very rich and very wealthy, even in famine. Amen. So
-
your obedience to God is what will guarantee your blessing as the child of God.
-
So if you claim to love God, then the test of your love
-
for God is your obedience to Him. Let's look at the next verse.
-
Starty form. Well, let's go back to first John to five and six.
-
First John to five and six. Those who say they live in God
-
should live their lives as Christ Jesus did. So the way to have the
-
mind of Christ. Live your life in God as Christ Jesus did. Amen.
-
Live your life. Please preach your neighbor with me. Live your life
-
in God as Christ Jesus did. Amen. And how did Christ Jesus do
-
it? First John one five, First John one five. This is the
-
message we heard from Christ Jesus. And now we declare to you God is
-
light and there is no darkness in him. Verse six. So we are
-
lying if we say we have fellowship with God, but go on living in
-
spiritual darkness, we are not practicing truth. As seven. But if we
-
are living in the light as God is in the lights, then we have
-
fellowship with one another in the blood of Jesus cleses Us. Amen. So
-
to have the mind of Christ is to have the attitude of Christ. And
-
Christ Jesus had fellowship with the brethren. Amen. And so having fellowship with
-
the brethren is what shows that you are walking in the mind of Christ or
-
in the attitude of Christ. Amen, shout outs to all our members who
-
when we break into smaller groups and they'll pass there, they'll turn to be
-
govern as a spider man and they'll pass it. And then they're passing and
-
they're going, and you don't. They don't want to be part of no
-
NATO. You are. It's a clear sign that you are not in light.
-
You are in darkness. There is no lights, there's no truth in
-
you. So you don't like to fellowship because fellowshiping is what will guarantee and
-
show that, yes you are. You have the mind of Christ. And
-
you see, one benefit of fellowshipping is that God forgives you sins that you
-
are not even aware of. You get automatics forgiveness of sins. Fellowship you
-
get automatic forgiveness of sins. So maybe you're want to do some shake it
-
thing be gradually you are from to say Lord, please forgive me. And
-
Satan has recorded it. He's waiting for the next general meeting in heaven.
-
And when the sacred comments I did this, and that's so God, don't
-
bless him. In fact, let him suffer. Satan is waiting by seeing,
-
by fellowship and the blood of Jesus that speaks better things forgives all your
-
sins. And now say that doesn't have any proof against you anymore because the
-
Blood of Jesus has canceled it. Amen. So one proof that you have
-
the mind of Christ is that you fellowship with one another. Can I hear
-
an? Amen? Please tell your neighbor fellowship, and please tell them the
-
past. That is not talking about taking the ladies number and calling her at
-
three a m. And say, oh baby, please, I can't sleep.
-
My brain, my mind is doing me. Who no, no,
-
no, not that type of fellowship. God Live fellowship, Amen, not
-
saying that, oh girl, when you're working on was checking you out let's
-
file? No no no, no, no no no, not that type
-
of If anybody calls you will come and tell me. I'll put your picture
-
here for you and will clap for him. Amen. Yes, they're proper
-
type of fellowship, Amen, where you are genuinely showing love to one another
-
as children of God. Amen. And so let's look at how we can
-
walk in the mind of Christ. How we can walk in the mind of
-
Christ. I have more a song today. HI brought myself. Yeah,
-
your sir, How we can walk in the mind of Christ. Number one,
-
walk as he walked in obedience to the Father. Walk as Jesus walked
-
in obedience to the Father. First joint of the two verse six. First
-
joint of the two verse six. Those who say they live in God should
-
live their lives as Jesus did. If you claim to be a Christian,
-
then you need to live like Jesus lived. Amen. You can't say you
-
are a Christian and your body count is rising like temperature. You cannot say
-
you are a Christian and you are an example of what hatred means. When
-
someone is looking for the definition of hatred, don't say, oh, look
-
at that girl, She's the definition of hatred. You can't say you're a
-
childhod God. The Bible says to walk in the mind of Christ. Live
-
like how Jesus lived. Amen. Please preach your neighbor live like how Jesus
-
lived. Amen. Number two, Love the brethren, Love the brethren.
-
We are not talking about romantic love. Where you say, oh girl,
-
your eyes, Charlie, your eyes. When I see your eyes, I'm
-
lost in the sea. We are not talking about romantic love. Amen.
-
Please tell, please, tell somebody we are talking about a gam pay,
-
and a gape is not the name of a change. That gam pay is
-
the name of God's love. Amen. All of you who think a gop
-
is the name of a change, it is the name of the love God
-
has. Amen. So love your neighbor with the love of God. Amen.
-
So when we start saying I love you with the love of the Lord.
-
Yes, I love you with the love of the Lord. It is
-
a guby we are talking about. You are not going to use God's song
-
to do your own connection. We forbid you and deny you that right.
-
Amen. So you continue, I can see you the glory of the Lord.
-
I love you the love of the Lord. A guppy is made manifest.
-
There's expression for a guppy in the glory of God. Amen. There
-
is expression for a guppy in the very glory of God. So you can
-
tell your sister I love you of the Lord. And you don't have any
-
uterior motives. You understand, you don't have any strings attached, and you
-
can boldly say I can't see you the glory of the Lord. I love
-
you with the Lord low strings attached. You're not going to harass anybody's daughter.
-
Twelve midnights. Our gappy is the love of the Lord. Amen.
-
And so please tell your neighbor, are you the one who passes is talking
-
about If you are into the harassment business, this is your time to repent.
-
Jesus is coming, Amen. So number two is love the brethren,
-
and number three is continual in what you have heard. Continue in what you
-
have heard first John chapter two, verse twenty four. Continue in what you
-
have heard, Amen, by the grace of God. I was with the
-
arch Mashop our father the archmys shop a week ago, and we're talking about
-
plans for the future and all of that, and I was telling him that
-
I heard his semon on regeneration or reprogramming, and he was using the same
-
scripture we've been using here on don't conform to the world, but be transformed
-
by the renewing of your mind. Roman Sword too, and he was sitting
-
on the same thing I told him about. We've been learning the same thing
-
in the youth church. And he was like, Wow, that's amazing,
-
Janderstand, we didn't compare notes. So everything that you are thought here is
-
because the Holy Spirit wants you to know about it. And then So what
-
Keep what you have been taught, continue in what you have heard, continue
-
in what you cannot be a personal council church here, and when we meet
-
you outside and we say, oh Charlie from last year up Anton, Now
-
what me say? Just touch your heart. You can't say no shoe,
-
please ask look at your neighbor and say, I'm sure you're the ononder person
-
is talking about. You cannot say no show Amen. We have treated the
-
Kingdom of God, the righteousness of God. We've come to understand what the
-
kingdom of God is. We've come to understand what the righteousness of God is.
-
Do you understand? We've come to understand sacrifices, the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
-
the sacrifice of praise, prayer as a sacrifice, fasting as a sacrifice,
-
offering yourself a living sacrifice onto God, holy and acceptable to Him.
-
We have learned so many things, duality, living a noble life. We
-
have studied so many and a kazoo we have learned. So if you are
-
somebody who doesn't remember what you have been taught, please tell them I wonder
-
for you. I'm wondering how you're Every person your exams in school, Yes,
-
it means you are you are doing a pole on the highest level.
-
You are an fifteen. Agents who do support CIA agents are possi. Amen.
-
So continue in what you have heard. Amen, So continual in what
-
you have heard. By now, if before you join the how many of
-
you since you joined the how many of you your lives have changed? You
-
join the give the load of way and shape the level you see. If
-
your life is not changing, it is actually you are still dwelling in darkness.
-
Diep that there is something fundamentally wrong. And then number four remain in
-
the anointing of the Spirit. First John chapter two seven twenty seven. First
-
John two twenty seven. Remain in the anointing of the Spirit. But you
-
have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives in you, and you don't
-
need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything
-
you need to know, and what it teaches you is true. It is
-
not a lie. Just so, just as he has taught you, remain
-
in fellowship with Christ Jesus. So the Lord Jesus says that when I send
-
the Holy Spirit, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you
-
into all truth. Amen. So, when you read the Bible. When
-
you study the word of God, when you have your quiet time, the
-
spirit of truth will teach you as word, so you know the truth of
-
God's word. Amen. So you don't believe believe a lie because guess what
-
I told you earlier, that Satan wants to control you. Right, how
-
many of you have heard in certain situations you feel that there is pressure on
-
you to do something, Like your mind, there's something pressure in your mind
-
that do something, do something. Yes, is the control of Satan.
-
That's how Satan. Satan will pressure you are until you do it. But
-
how you deal with that is you caote scripture? Do you understand when Satan
-
came to Jesus, he was using mind bending techniques to try to deceive Jesus
-
so that Jesus will obey what he's saying. But what did Jesus do?
-
Jesus got the scripture when he showed the whole the kingdoms of the world and
-
Lord that Jesus that shall not tell the Lord I God. Haven't you read
-
It's in the Bible. Don't turn the Lord I go. When you told
-
him that, can't you turn a stone stone to break? He said,
-
you understand of God? You have power. Surely turn this into bread.
-
It says man shall not live by bread alone. So when you quote scripture,
-
Amen, those pressures on your head, in your mind, they will
-
leave. Amen. So your mind is an asset that Satan wants to control
-
with mind pending pressure. Amen. So don't allow the devil. Amen,
-
don't allow the devil. Number six, Do not love the world or the
-
patterns of the world. Don't love the patterns of the world, all right?
-
Number five? Oh, number five, okay, So let's use don't
-
love the patterns of the world as number five. First John of the two
-
verse fifteen first John to fifteen. Do not love this world nor the things
-
it offers you. For when you love the world, you do not have
-
the love of the Father. You. You can't have two masters. It's
-
either you love one and hate one. Amen. So it says that don't
-
love this world. If you love this world and the things of this world,
-
then you don't have the love of the Father in you. Amen.
-
One sign that people love the world is when you see their physical outlook.
-
They change like chameleon every They are changing with their trend. It means they
-
love the world. They are not constant. There is nothing constant with them.
-
He gets it. They are like night and day. They can be
-
here right now and don't display it. Right now. You'd be like,
-
are you the same person? They have multiple dualities, syndrome, they have
-
multiple personalities. Do you understand? Yes, So Jesus says that don't love
-
the world and it thinks they're in because if you do, it means the
-
love of the Father is not in you. Amen. Number six on how
-
to walk in the mind of Christ is that guard yourself from sin. Guard
-
yourself from sin. The first joint of the three verse six, guard yourself
-
from sin. Anyone who continues to live in Him will not sin. But
-
anyone who keeps on sinning does not know Him and does not understand who he
-
is. Amen. There is a place in God where you cannot sin.
-
When I was growing in the things of God, a friend of mine who
-
was far advancing the things I well, said, Oh, there is a
-
place in God where you cannot sing? And I was like, abus are
-
possible, everybody says, but there is truly a place in God where you
-
cannot sin, because at that place you know who God is. Amen.
-
And if you want to, if you choose to sin, then it's because
-
you have chosen to sin. But there is a place in God where it
-
is not possible for you to sin. Amen. So please tell your neighbor
-
God your heart against sin. David writes and says that your word have I
-
hidden in my heart that I do not sin against you. When you hide
-
God's word in your heart, you will not sin against God. Amen.
-
And then number seven, cleanse yourself from all sin. If you are still
-
living in sin, or you are dwelling in sin, then cleanse yourself from
-
all sin. Second Corinthians, Chapter seven, this one. Because you have
-
these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile
-
our body or spirit. And let us work together complete holiness. We fear
-
God. Amen. Let us work together completely complete holiness towards God because we
-
fear him. All right. And then let's look at some one thirty nine,
-
verse twenty three to twenty four. And can we please all stand Some
-
one thirty nine, verse twenty three to twenty four. And David wrote that
-
search me, O, God, and know my heart, test me and
-
know my anxieties verse twenty four. Point out anything in me that offends you,
-
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Amen. And so
-
this is our prayer tonight. Did I say tonight this morning? Amen?
-
Forgive me. I do a lot of night things and morning things. Amen.
-
This is our prayer. It says that word. Let's do that's twenty
-
three. Let's read it together. Amen. So that's our prayer today,
-
because we want to walk with the mindset of Christ Jesus. We want to
-
walk as Jesus world. We want to walk in the way Jesus world,
-
all right. And if we have things that weigh us down, then we
-
can't take on the yoke of Christ Jesus, that is of humility and gentleness.
-
Amen. And so we need to pray this prayer so we raid ourselves
-
of any heaviness that we have, because we are offering ourselves as living sacrifices
-
onto God, holy and acceptable to Him. Amen. So you just want
-
to close your eyes and begin to pray this prayer to the Lord. Your
-
prayer should mean us search me, or God search me, or go search
-
my heart, or go search my heart. Search me, no my heart,
-
no, my heart, no my heart. Test me, Oh God
-
know my anxieties, Test me, Oh Lord know my anxieties. Test me.
-
Jesus, know my anxieties. Next verse, test me, Oh God,
-
know my anxieties. See, point out, point out, point out
-
anything in me that will offense you, anything me that greets your spirit,
-
anything in me that makes me, Oh God, not walk all or non
-
walk, do not walk according to the mindset of Christ, Jesus for my
-
life, search me, oh God, search me, go go point out
-
in me anything that offense you, and Lord leave me lean me. I
-
long to go the parts of everlastic life. Really, Jesus, at the
-
parts of everlastic life, that I will walk, acquing to to well and
-
purpose for my life, that I would be everything that's the real. Search
-
me, search my mind, my lid, yes, no, my actius,
-
no, my actual tones thinks and drink and and going out, going,
-
going up everything me every cleanly, never signal everything name. So I
-
