  1. You're listening to a message to go from ast church.

  2. We hope this message will light up your day.

  3. Let's go to Act chapter two now and let's read

  4. one verse.

  5. Acts Chapter two, verse forty two.

  6. Please everybody, and they continue steadfastly in the apostles, doctrine

  7. and fellowship come on, in breaking of bread and in press.

  8. So the first of these four points. What are the

  9. four points? Apostles, doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and press.

  10. These are the four original ingredients that made the church great.

  11. Every church that wants to do God's will must have

  12. at least these four basic things.

  13. They must continue steadfastly.

  14. Is the word faithful, stead fast, faithful in the apostles,

  15. doctrine which is the word of God.

  16. And fellowship must have.

  17. And the breaking of bread like we did this now,

  18. communion must have all right, because we remember Jesus every

  19. time we break bread. And of course prayer all right.

  20. And this church X church is a praying church, all right.

  21. Before we start our service, we pray all right. In

  22. between our worship, we pray all right, and we pray

  23. all the time because we are a praying church that

  24. believes that our God answers. Pray can I hear good. Amen,

  25. all right, let's go to the next slide. The next

  26. slide says X is a church that is.

  27. Founded on, built by and moves in the word of God.

  28. I'm so glad that today the people taking care of

  29. XTV and the camera, they don't even have to be

  30. at the camera. This is the first time I'm seeing it,

  31. because usually there will be one person. So Joshua asked

  32. me earlier, pastor, you're sitting down or standing up? So

  33. I said, I think I am very used to sitting

  34. down now because I feel at home.

  35. It has got to go mooning.

  36. And of course it started with my injury, my injury

  37. that took me nine months to heal, and so I've

  38. been sitting down.

  39. But now I really feel.

  40. At home, like like I'm like, I'm not preaching to you,

  41. like I'm just talking to you, you know. And so

  42. I didn't realize there was, you know a difference of

  43. me standing up and sitting down when it comes to XTV.

  44. When I'm sitting down, I don't move so much. And

  45. so x TV says, oh, very good, very good, very good.

  46. We don't have to.

  47. Follow you left, right up down. So I'm glad to

  48. be of a blessing to x TV this morning. Yeah,

  49. fel I'm glad that I could give you some rest, Josh.

  50. I will purposically just jump here and there sometimes.

  51. Now I'm just kiddy. I won't. I won't.

  52. All right, So X is a church that is founded on,

  53. built by, and moves in the Word of God. I

  54. hope that all of you are at peace when I

  55. say this, because you want to be a part of

  56. a church that really focuses on God's word. You really

  57. want to be a church that does things everything according

  58. to the word of God. For example, why do we

  59. pray so much on a service? Why do we have

  60. people coming to the front. Why do we have people

  61. turning to one another because the Bible says, pray, pray

  62. for one another. The Bible says, the house of God

  63. is the house of Why do we clap our hands

  64. doing worship? Because clap your hands, all ye people. Why

  65. do we shout shout under God with a voice of triumph.

  66. Why do we stand, the Bible says, stand right in

  67. the presence of the Lord. Why do we lift up

  68. our hands? We will lift our hands as the evening sacrifice.

  69. The Bible says, Why do we give.

  70. We just gave our offering because the Bible says give,

  71. and not just give, but give generously. I want you

  72. to know that whatever you do as a church, it

  73. must be backed up by God's word. He cannot be

  74. backed up by emotions. He cannot be backed up by

  75. the latest trends. Why do we not turn off our lights?

  76. Because the Bible doesn't tell me to turn off my

  77. lives doing worship, so I don't do it as simple

  78. as that. In fact, he says that Jesus is the light,

  79. so that's what therefore I want.

  80. To put more light. I know.

  81. Please don't right now sitting here, compare me with another church.

  82. I'm not here to judge any church. If they turn

  83. off their lights, that's up to them and God. But

  84. I want to let you know the why and the

  85. why not is guided by God's word in this place.

  86. Why do we dress up for Sunday? Because the Bible says,

  87. whatever you do unto the Lord, do it with all

  88. your heart. So that also includes when you're worshiping. Don't

  89. put your hands down, then you're not doing it all

  90. your heart. Clap, don't put your hands, you know, to

  91. your pockets, don't dress down. You know, this is not

  92. just a Christmas party or a birthday party.

  93. This is the house of the Lord. Amen.

  94. And you want to honor the Lord. Hallelujah. And the

  95. Bible also says honor the Lord. In fact, you know

  96. what the Bible says. God says, I will honor those

  97. who honor me. So can you imagine if you come

  98. every Sunday you honor the Lord with your best, you

  99. can expect to be honored back by God. So I

  100. want you to know again and again this morning that

  101. this church is very big on being faithful to the Word.

  102. And if it's not in the word, I usually will

  103. not do it. There's no point. There's no point. All right. Now,

  104. let's see what God thinks about his word, what God himself,

  105. how God sees his word.

  106. Are you ready? Let's look at the scripture.

  107. The Bible says, I will praise, sorry our worship toward

  108. your Holy Temple. Oh, let's let's pause for a moment.

  109. Do you know why we do praise and worship before

  110. everything else starts, even before the message, Because the Bible

  111. says praise must go first. If you have ever read

  112. the Word of God, it says Judah first the army

  113. the people of God in the Old Testament says, Oh, God,

  114. tell us which of the twelve tribes must go first

  115. when there is war? And God said Judah first? And

  116. what is Judah praise? So until today praise goes before

  117. everything else.

  118. At our service, everybody're okay? I want you to understand.

  119. The church must be based not on pastor can Cheane's experience,

  120. not on people's emotions, not on our I like or

  121. don't like. No, not like or don't like the come

  122. on word of God. Are you happy to be in

  123. a church like that? There's not at the whims and

  124. fancies of the senior pastor. No, even the senior pastor

  125. must obey the word of God. Amen, because and we

  126. see it in the scripture. In the next two minutes.

  127. I'll show it to you. But now let's look at

  128. this one first.

  129. For you have.

  130. Magnified your word above or your name. Did you even

  131. know this scripture existed? That God's name is already so great?

  132. You know, Ah, in the name of Jesus. Cancer, get

  133. healed in the name of Jesus. Aides, get healed in

  134. the name of Jesus. You know the blind see do

  135. you know the name of Jesus is already great. But

  136. you know what's greater than that name. Since the word

  137. of God, you, Oh, God, magnified your word above your name.

  138. That's how important God's word is.

  139. To God.

  140. To God himself magnified his word. So if God himself

  141. magnifies his word, we his people must do the same.

  142. Somebody say, Amen, praise the Lord. Now this is the

  143. next verse. I want to show you. Heaven and earth

  144. will pass away, but my words will by no means

  145. pass away. The leaders of the church can pass away,

  146. the building can pass away, the sound system can go

  147. from this to just one guitar. Everything can change, even

  148. with the next elections. But what will never change, Come

  149. on the word of God. Build your life on the

  150. word of God. Amen, and you will never be shaken

  151. because the word of God is the rock on.

  152. Which we stand. Amen.

  153. If you're not feeling well in your body, don't worry

  154. about it. Don't just put your health in the hands

  155. of the doctor. Thank God for doctors. But don't put

  156. your future in the hand of financial gurus.

  157. Are you also with me?

  158. It's okay to have a financial coach helping you to

  159. make sure that you do well with your finances. But

  160. come on, everybody, put your hope, your future, your life

  161. on the word that cannot be shaken. Once again, Heaven

  162. and earth will pass away. Do you know that even

  163. heaven will pass away?

  164. Not?

  165. Cannot you say what? No, Jesus it the heavens as

  166. we know it will pass away. But his word get it.

  167. So therefore, the next slide says, the word is completely reliable.

  168. That's the point. That's the point. When we go through

  169. hard times, who do you rely on? What do you

  170. rely on that is even better than the bank? Or

  171. rather the money in your bank or the insurance that

  172. you have. Some of you could have one million ringing

  173. insurance for our health. Some of you go to have

  174. a five million ringing insurance. Even that will not compare

  175. with the reliability of God's word.

  176. Are you asked? You with me?

  177. When there's doubts, when you don't know where what? Who

  178. is God speaking to me? Is God silent? Does God

  179. want me to do this or not? You know where

  180. the economy is going? Do I buy a crypto or

  181. not or whatever it is? And the crypto goes up,

  182. crypto goes down? There is nothing so reliable as come

  183. on the Word of God. So we want to be

  184. a church. This is a value right, We're talking about

  185. value word faithful. Doesn't matter what your feelings are, doesn't

  186. matter what people around you tell you. The word is reliable, trustworthy.

  187. Come on, it will ever fail you. We fail the

  188. word many times, we fail the word, but the word

  189. will never fail us. Next Life, John one one to

  190. four and fourteen. I want to bring another angle so

  191. that I can encourage you today. Yes, I want to

  192. encourage you today to hold on to this word. You know,

  193. let me tell you a storier. I have a heroer.

  194. Let's just say heroller. George Muller. George Muller was an

  195. inspiration to me. How I lived by faith for the

  196. last thirty years. I love of you know that I

  197. haven't gotten a salary for the last thirty years, but

  198. you can see how God has blessed me our man,

  199. Praise God.

  200. God is good. But you know where I.

  201. Learned from from a man called George Muller, who also

  202. had no money, but he built five orphanages. Five orphanages,

  203. and I think each orphanage had about twenty to thirty

  204. ofphanse and five he built five in the eighteen hundreds,

  205. and every time a young person graduates from the orphanage,

  206. he will come to George Mullet's room. I remember this

  207. so clearly. There was one page I just got stuck

  208. to it. He said, I'm going to teach this young

  209. person before he goes out of the orphanage. I'm going

  210. to teach him a principle that will take him far.

  211. He calls a young person in front of him, and

  212. he gives the young person a coin in his left hand.

  213. He says, young man, hold on to that coin, and

  214. then he puts into the young man's hand a bible

  215. in the right hand. So left hand got coin, money,

  216. right had got bible. And he teaches just one simple teaching.

  217. At the end, it's not even more than five minutes,

  218. he says, young man, let me teach you this. If

  219. you hold on tightly to what's in your right, you

  220. will never lack what's in your left. If you hold

  221. on tightly tightly to what's on your right, you will

  222. never lack what's on your left. I tell you, if

  223. you ever find a book George Muller, you read it

  224. that you'll be inspired. So I was inspired to live

  225. by faith without a salary, for the past thirty years.

  226. Now the Lord has provided all my needs.

  227. Because if you hold on tightly Kenneth's chin to the right,

  228. you will never lack what's on the left. One story

  229. of George Muller. Remember, no, there was no more food

  230. in the orphanage, nor more food. They all opened the

  231. cupboards and they reported to George Muller, George, there's no

  232. more food, and there's so many mouths to feed. And

  233. George says, it's okay. God told me to build this orphanage.

  234. God gave me these children. If God gave me, sure

  235. you'll feed them. So let's all just go around the table.

  236. Come on, sit down, children, Sit down, children. So they

  237. all sat down like it was lunchtime or something.

  238. Sat down.

  239. They all sat down, and he says, hold each other's

  240. hands now, and let's give thanks for the food.

  241. It's amazing.

  242. If you read his book, you go like, what kind

  243. of faith does this guy have? He says, Lord, thank

  244. you for the children that you gave me. Thank you

  245. for this orphanage that you gave me. Thank you, o God,

  246. for the meal that you are about to give us.

  247. And before you could say amen, there was not on

  248. the door, and so the door opened and there was

  249. a milkman outside who said, my milk truck broke down

  250. in front of your orphanage. And uh, if I'm gonna

  251. probably think about an hour or two to fix the truck.

  252. And this milk, this fresh milk, will not make it.

  253. To the places I'm going to take it to, So

  254. could I just give all the milk so they don't

  255. go to waste? And then you know, it just went

  256. on and on. Of course, a man got his truck

  257. to fixed. God blessed him as well after that, and

  258. and and then the whole house was filled with bottles

  259. of milk.

  260. Uh.

  261. And then you know how else they were provided for

  262. you go ahead and try to get a book and

  263. read it, because I was very very inspired.

  264. Okay, let's let's now get into this.

  265. In the beginning was the word, and the word was

  266. with God, and the word was God. He was in

  267. the beginning with God. All things were made through him,

  268. and without him nothing was made. That was made. In

  269. him was life, and the life was the light of men. Okay,

  270. let's read. Let's read that and deal with that first.

  271. In the beginning was the word wow, Wow, what began it?

  272. All?

  273. The word what started it all. The word the word

  274. was with was was with who God? The word was

  275. who God?

  276. Wow? Big w what big w He.

  277. Was in the beginning with God, all things were made

  278. through him, All things were made through him. Next, Light says,

  279. We're all made through the word. Think about that for

  280. a moment. You and I were made through the word.

  281. I know when you look at the mirror every morning

  282. and every night before you sleep, when you look in

  283. the mirror, you cannot see the word. I know you

  284. can only see your hair, your eyes, your nose, and

  285. all the physical parts. But I want to remind you

  286. what the Word of God says. You and I were

  287. made through the Word. That's awesome.

  288. You know you were made through that.

  289. You know this word through is a very powerful word

  290. because if you wanted something from me, and I say,

  291. you can only get it from me through Rachelle, Rochelle

  292. now becomes a very important person because.

  293. You only only through her. So now the word.

  294. Becomes very important because you only through the Word that

  295. I'm made. Now you know why when you have a

  296. sickness in your body, the word heals you.

  297. So someone said before a passer.

  298. Because man was made from the earth, all the ingredients

  299. that can heal him is made from the earth. Because

  300. again listener, the content of men content and the content

  301. the ingredient of men is from the way earth. So

  302. man's body is made from the earth. So when man

  303. wants to be well, he takes herbs and many things

  304. that grow from the ground.

  305. Now, a lot of medication today is synthetic, but they can.

  306. Find a lot of our healing from whatever grown from

  307. the ground. Why because we are made from the ground.

  308. And so think about it. If you are made through

  309. the world, then all you need is to add the

  310. Word wherever your body is lacking. You understand, if your

  311. heart was made through the Word, it is not the

  312. doctor that has any answer, really, because he didn't make

  313. the heart. So whatever he does is temporary. Keep your

  314. life for another ten years, give your life for a

  315. nundre fifteen years.

  316. You know, whatever it is, tent.

  317. Pills, right to lower your cholesterol, it's all temporary, and

  318. if you don't take it, you know you might be

  319. in trouble. But the Word has got your the ingredients

  320. that your heart needs. Whoa, the Word has got the

  321. ingredients that your lungs need because the very form of

  322. your lungs was made through the So now you know

  323. why book they have testimony saying all I did was

  324. quoted Isaiah fifty three, verse five. And by his stripes

  325. we are heal, and by his stripes we are here.

  326. Toyongi asks a woman with cancer. He says, go back

  327. home and right down, by his stripes, we are heal.

  328. Ten thousand times and she said, well once for many times,

  329. actually say ten thousand, so that she will keep on

  330. doing it. So after she finished ten thousand times, she

  331. was healed from cancer. Because you need to understand what

  332. what the what the word says about the word that

  333. from the beginning, it was the word. Your breath is

  334. made through the word, Your toenails are made through the word,

  335. your kidneys are made through the world. So a lot

  336. of people run to the doctors. Good, thank God for doctors. Again,

  337. run to medicine. Okay, fine, temporary, but listen, we gotta

  338. run back to the.

  339. Because everything you need the beginning, the beginning was the word.

  340. Everything from from the beginning was through the word.

  341. And therefore you continue to get your stock, your.

  342. Your reserves, you with me, brain problem, brain issues, the mansia.

  343. I want to tell you this, you never try you

  344. never know.

  345. But I'm telling you right right now that the Word

  346. of God says we're made through the Word.

  347. We have to go through the world if you want

  348. to be made.

  349. So if you want to be made again, your heart

  350. to be new again, your lungs to be new again,

  351. your kidneys to be new again, you're.

  352. Living to be new again. Yeah, it's fine again.

  353. I'm not knocking hospitals, and I'm not knocking doctors because

  354. we thank God for them.

  355. Really right, they're really there to help us.

  356. But listen, even Christian doctors here would understand they don't

  357. have all the answers, and they can't give you a

  358. new heart unless it's a transplant, but even that's not newybody. Okay,

  359. Why am I uh spending so much time on this

  360. because I know that some of you in this room

  361. really needs this.

  362. I've been surviving.

  363. On thirty years without a salary, just on the Word,

  364. and then I buy a house on the Word because

  365. I had no money. I told you the testimony, right,

  366. it is a bank who said you can have a

  367. loan without any collateral, and the band manager said, passed, Kenneth.

  368. This is the first time we've ever heard that the

  369. bank gives a loan without any collateral. I don't have

  370. a salary, I don't have an EPF, I don't have

  371. any of those things. It is the word. Would you

  372. believe it? Would you believe it?

  373. Ah?

  374. I'm speaking to Christians. Yeah, even Christians who struggling with this,

  375. even Christians struggling with this. Okay, next one, are you ready?

  376. Gee?

  377. Jesus is the word made flesh. Jesus himself is the

  378. word made flesh. Wow, so good eye, Okay, all right now.

  379. The first point is how God sees his word. The

  380. second point is because the word is completely reliable, faithful

  381. to us, we can be completely faithful.

  382. Said fast to the word. Amen.

  383. The amiens are getting less and less. Why too early

  384. in the morning or what? Okay, thank you the leaders especially.

  385. Help me out. Praise Scott. Okay, Amen, Amen, and all

  386. those who are being Christian long time, please help me. Okay.

  387. You know why we say amen and shout because the

  388. Bible says shout someone.

  389. Let me hear.

  390. Some people obeyed the lot. Oh hallelujah. See see when

  391. you do that, you're obeying the word.

  392. Amen. So let's go into the next point.

  393. No matter how we feel for how the world arounds

  394. us feels this is going to be one of the

  395. greatest challenges of the church in the future. In Singapore,

  396. they asked me a question, pastor, what is your greatest

  397. fears for the church in the future, as if you're

  398. number one, is that we look more and more like

  399. the world because the world is so demanding, they're so

  400. passionate about their own philosophy.

  401. So LGBT starting to creep in to the church. If

  402. we don't stand on the word, we're gonna fall under pressure.

  403. I you also do mean it's okay to have LGBT friends.

  404. That if you have a friend who's LGBT, God bless him,

  405. God bless her, pray for him for their salvation. Okay,

  406. don't don't don't don't reject them. You can reject their living,

  407. but don't reject them. But I will not allow, as

  408. long as I'm alive and as long as God's word

  409. is in my right hand, to allow the pressures of

  410. LGBT into the church. Then we will then we will

  411. become a church under pressure. I said before, and I

  412. was saying to you again. If you live by priority,

  413. you will never live under pressure. What are your priorities

  414. to me, to us, ex, church is the word of God,

  415. so I said to asking up, I fear that the.

  416. World will creep into the church and one day take over.

  417. Second fear, I said, is that we will want to

  418. be like any church down the road. So this church

  419. does something, we want to do something that church don't do.

  420. Something else we want to do like that church. And

  421. churches are just following churches instead of following Jesus. It's

  422. very scary. You know, everybody turn off their lives. We

  423. turned off our lives. Everybody dressed down. We dressed down.

  424. Everybody wear white shoes, uh, to to preach and to

  425. and to do worship leading.

  426. And of course now I don't know why the white shoes.

  427. White shoes is in and all those of you are

  428. sitting down and you know, look at your white shoes. Now,

  429. don't worry about it because you're not preaching, Okay, So

  430. I am yeah, And you won't catch me wearing white

  431. shoes to preach. But it is the white shoes wrong. No,

  432. I think following trends. Following trends blindly is wrong. That's all.

  433. The color of the shoes not wrong. I just don't

  434. like to follow trends. I like to follow Christ.

  435. Amen.

  436. So no matter how we feel or how the world

  437. arounds us feel, the church is going to be in

  438. the next few days, weeks, months, years. I don't know

  439. how long before Jesus will come back. I think it's

  440. very soon, you know. Just look at the Middle East. Uh,

  441. And so I pray that. You know, last week we said,

  442. two weeks ago we say Christ centered, we just want

  443. to focus on Christ. And today we are saying word faithful.

  444. Just be faithful to the word, not faithful to the world.

  445. You know, the word word and the word world is

  446. just differentientated by what L ne w O, r d

  447. W or r l d. So the L very easy

  448. to come into the word L for l license r.

  449. L for last.

  450. So between the world and the word there is only

  451. one letter difference. And we have to be very careful,

  452. very very careful. Let me tell you something about Billy Graham.

  453. Billy Graham, if you read his biography, and I read

  454. about two or three because another hero of mine. So

  455. this biography of Bill grahammer was this ticking same thickness

  456. almost no, no, no, I think Liquan used biographies even thicker.

  457. I read that or so, because I also liked how

  458. the man leads Singapore. So I read leaquan Use biography

  459. is stick, and I think Billy Graham's biography was just

  460. maybe one centimeter lower. But I tell you, Billy Graham said,

  461. one page, just one page. I remember, he says, my

  462. friends during the time that I was growing up. He said,

  463. he was in his twenties, and all his friends grew

  464. up from the Bible school or in the twenties.

  465. And then there.

  466. Came an argument, Daniel, I don't know where you heard

  467. of this before, an argument those days. Until today, I

  468. think the argument is still there. But in Billy Graham's

  469. time it was very strong. Even his friends who came

  470. up from the same Bible school said, there's some parts

  471. of the Bible that cannot be relevant today. And there

  472. are some paths that only applied to the Jews, and

  473. there are only some paths and this and that, and

  474. they began to dissect the Bible according to their wisdom.

  475. Billy Graham struggle. That was one of his greatest struggle.

  476. On that one page, Billy Graham said, I too struggle.

  477. Is the word of God the word of God? Or

  478. is some the word of God?

  479. And some notd is this Bible something that we believe

  480. some and don't believe some?

  481. What is it?

  482. So Billy Graham went to a particular rock, and this

  483. rock was by the side of the road. He often

  484. goes there. He walks somebody, he walks with his dog,

  485. and he just you know, he just cry out to God, God,

  486. help me, no, help me. Understand. Do I go with

  487. my friends who's now dissecting to see which one believes believable,

  488. which one is not believable. What part of the Bible

  489. I should take as truth, what part I should take

  490. as history only? Blah blah blah. You know, there's so

  491. many things going on in his heart and mind. And

  492. so he finally got down on his knees at this rock.

  493. This is a very famous rock. When you go to

  494. America where Billy Graham lives, the bus, the twelve bus

  495. was stop by this rock. Because you know, Billy Graham

  496. is just one of the most famous evangelists in the world.

  497. Right brought I don't know, maybe sixty seventy million people

  498. to Christ. So Billy Graham on this rock, he prayed

  499. and he said, I heard God tell me believe in

  500. all or believe not at all, believe in everything or nothing.

  501. Choose.

  502. Billy Graham decided at that rock that day, God, there

  503. are many things I don't understand, the many things that

  504. seem to be countercultured the day I'm living in. It

  505. doesn't seem to fit the LGBT. It doesn't seem to

  506. fit you know, the business models, and doesn't seem to

  507. fit you know, World.

  508. Joe.

  509. Political situations, you know, Israel seems to be so cruel,

  510. you know, and this and there and bombing Gaza, and

  511. yet the Bible teaches us to pray for Jerusalem.

  512. It doesn't fit God. But I choose to believe.

  513. You know what he said from that book, He said,

  514. from the day I decided that the word of God

  515. is the word of God.

  516. God bless my ministry.

  517. He said, you know, I preach messages are same gospel

  518. messages are. And yet thousands walk down from their seats

  519. and fill this front of the stage. He says, the

  520. day was the day I said, this is your word

  521. and I will preach it with all of my heart.

  522. Thousands and thousands and millions started to come to the

  523. Lord because he decided once and for all. Josh Mueller

  524. hold tightly towards on your right. You'll never lack what's

  525. on your life. These are the great men of God

  526. who had to buy faith, decide is it true?

  527. Is it not true?

  528. If only half is true, throw the other half away then,

  529. but you don't know who half to throw.

  530. Amen. So I pray that today, as you begin.

  531. To be if word faithful, that you will also have

  532. a defining moment. You will also be blessed. Romans one,

  533. twite two, twenty four, twenty six to twenty seven. We we

  534. can read it on your own life. Because I think

  535. the time is coming up to it. I have to close,

  536. but I've got a few more things to talk talk

  537. to you about. But here we go Romans one. He

  538. just talks to you about how people today profess to

  539. be wise, they became fools, change the glory of the

  540. incorruptible God into image made like corruptible man. And then

  541. he goes on to say, therefore God also gave them

  542. up to uncleanness in the loss of their hearts to

  543. dishonor their bodies among themselves. And then it goes on

  544. to say, for even their women exchange the natural use

  545. of what for what is against nature. Likewise, also the

  546. men leaving the natural use of the women burning their

  547. lust for one another.

  548. So already, uh you.

  549. Know, lesbianism and and and gaze, uh you know, and

  550. their lifestyle was found already in those days, right, and

  551. the Word of God already has something to say about it. Okay,

  552. But don't get pressure into saying oh, just because the

  553. world is shouting and saying, you know, the church is

  554. so old fashioned, The church is irrelevant. The Bible is

  555. an old book. Chuck it into the fire and burn it.

  556. You and I must stand steadfast, faithful to the very end.

  557. Come on, I should hear more amiens than that. Raise.

  558. Build your family on the word, build your marriage on

  559. the word, Build your health on the word, build your

  560. finances on the word. Come on, hallelujah, Build your ministry

  561. on the word. Build ex church on the word. The

  562. word anchors us in in uh in This ever changing world,

  563. says the next slide. Yeah, it is ever changing, its

  564. ever changing. Every day is changing.

  565. Now.

  566. AI is the big thing, right AI my word. Let's

  567. let's not start having a series on AI messages. But

  568. you know it's good is going to take over our world?

  569. If not already? Am I saying it's wrong. I'm not

  570. saying it's wrong. I'm not even saying it's all that right.

  571. So right depends on how you use it.

  572. But the world is ever changing.

  573. Now, can I say this as people around start looking

  574. at the old fashioned irrelevant and call us fools.

  575. As the world calls us.

  576. Fools, I want to remind you of this scripture because

  577. the foolishness of God is wiser than men. Even the

  578. most foolish thing God can do is still wiser than

  579. the wisest of men. Come on, and the weakness of

  580. God is stronger than men.

  581. Are you with me?

  582. Even if God became sick, and he will never be sick,

  583. but even if he became sick, he's still more healthy

  584. than the healthiest person on earth. That's what the Bible

  585. was saying. He's so weak, he's still stronger than you.

  586. His way seems so dumb. He's still cleverer than you. Amen,

  587. praise the Lord, So don't try to be too cleverer.

  588. That's probably what I'm saying, all de lord. Christians always

  589. act rikal the when and you know one day go

  590. and say to you, yeah, it is because you thought

  591. you were cleverer than me. See who's the fool like, yeah, okay, yeah,

  592. all right. Now I'm not pointing anybody here. Okay, last one,

  593. last one.

  594. What do we need to know? We need to know

  595. the word? Now.

  596. I know that I'm not one following this booklet, but

  597. it's all there. It's all there, okay, and you and

  598. I will go through it again at homes.

  599. Yeah, word faithful. Amen, from today until.

  600. The next homes are from today under the next homes

  601. please be word for faithful. So you got testable new share,

  602. I say, Holmes leader. Actually from the day I heard

  603. the word to the homes day, I got testabiity share

  604. because I put everything my fears on the word, and

  605. look what happened. I put my doubt on the word,

  606. and look what happened. I put my finance us on

  607. the word, and look what happened.

  608. I put my health on the word, and look what happened. Yeah,

  609. getty excited. My voice getting higher and higher, Oh, stronger

  610. and strong. You know.

  611. I put my family on the word, and look what happened.

  612. I put my marriage on the word, and look what happened.

  613. I put my children on the word, and look what happened. Amen,

  614. Raise the Lord. So last one know the word, and

  615. we're going to close in the next few minutes.

  616. Know the word.

  617. The Bible says that you shall know the truth, and

  618. the truth shall make you free. Now, a lot of

  619. people think the word no means that like in Malay

  620. is tao gird taouan, not thou taou okay gird tau

  621. whua No, just this knowledge, and then we go like, oh,

  622. just know the word and I'm going to be fine.

  623. No, the word no here is very intimate.

  624. If you read the Old Testament Adam new Eve and

  625. conceive mm. So when people know each other husband and

  626. wife in those days, it is an intimate word. It

  627. is two people coming as one, creating life. So when

  628. you and I know the word, we become one with

  629. the word.

  630. And we produce life. Amen. So if you know the

  631. word up here, I'm pointing to my brain.

  632. Now, if you just know the word up here and

  633. you have no life, tell me what it tells you.

  634. It tells me that you only have head knowledge. You

  635. haven't known the word intimately and made it one with you,

  636. all right. I don't want to sound you know two

  637. eighteen SX because all of us are older here, and

  638. you know that when a man and woman come together,

  639. actually become one.

  640. They enter.

  641. Okay, so now you are already feeling a little bit squamish.

  642. Has the word entered you? Has the word become part

  643. of you?

  644. No, and you shall know the truth.

  645. And the truth will I know a lot of a

  646. lot of us will quote the words set you free.

  647. But in an NKJV it says, make you free. I

  648. love the word.

  649. Make because it's actually the word has gone into you

  650. and it's making you. Know how you make bread? You're

  651. needing and you're doing all this and you're putting it

  652. into the oven, and right you're something is being made

  653. inside of you, and that's called freedom. Set you free

  654. is just coming to and and taking the maybe the

  655. seasons or whatever, and cutting the you know whatever and

  656. breaking the chain. So set you free sounds like a

  657. very immediate, one second thing.

  658. The boom.

  659. No, this is make you free. Make you means that

  660. you are now a different person because his truth is

  661. coming to you, and he's made you. He's made you

  662. a man. Therefore you're not a woman. He's made you

  663. a woman, therefore you're not a man. So his word

  664. comes in and makes you free, makes you free, missa

  665. you don't ever have to be not free anymore.

  666. It's a may.

  667. You take a door and you make a bread. The

  668. bread doesn't become door again. The bread is made the

  669. chalk way down his child. Okay, it's child. It doesn't

  670. become noodles again. So when he comes, when his truth comes, he.

  671. Makes you free. You don't have to be unfree anybody. Okay.

  672. Another scripture is here, but it's not found on the slides.

  673. I know, guess I just put it before I came up.

  674. John seventeen seventeen says, John seventeen seventeen says, sanctify them

  675. by your truth. Your word is truth. Sanctify them by

  676. your truth. Your word is truth. So you shall know

  677. the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I'm

  678. go encouraging everyone here to be one with the word.

  679. The word is truth.

  680. Amen.

  681. Okay, last lap two points. It says here two parts

  682. to being word faithful. That's what your notes say. So

  683. under these notes two parts to being word faithful. You

  684. can write Number one, be a hero of the word.

  685. Number two, be a doer of the word. All right,

  686. let's look at the scripture. For the Word of God

  687. is living and power full and sharper than any two ages,

  688. sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,

  689. and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of

  690. the thoughts and intents of the heart.

  691. Wow.

  692. Wow, Uh, let me show you something again. The next

  693. flight says, the word has a life of his own.

  694. How cool is that? The word, although it's written, is

  695. not lifeless, It's not stagnant. Are you all with me?

  696. It has a life. I talked to one of our brothers, Balaji.

  697. Balaji from from ex Cyberjaya. You know, in India, it

  698. was part of a militant group that hates Christians, and

  699. so Balaji's job was to kill Christians or do or

  700. to bring them down. So it was a very very

  701. big Hindu kind of sect. It was not Hindu itself,

  702. but you know it was just very very strong. Uh.

  703. And they will kill and they will destroy. And Balaji,

  704. you can talk to him. He will have many stories

  705. to tell you, okay. And when he was in that

  706. kind of a spirit, he was violent and he was

  707. all that. So he was tasked by his supreme leader

  708. in India to bring down Christian And the first thing

  709. he did, Balaji, he said pastor, I read the Bible

  710. right because I want to see how many errors there are.

  711. And so as he's doing his research reading the Bible,

  712. he first of all read it very quietly.

  713. He was reading, reading, reading, reading well or then he

  714. was taking down. Balaji just finished Viva.

  715. So now his doctor Balaji and his physiotherapist in university Hiberjaya. Okay,

  716. Balaji's good guy. Every time I mean him. He wants

  717. to take me to Indian food. I said, come on,

  718. let's do it. You know, Baalaji knows the Indian culture

  719. so well. He tells me exactly why but I leave

  720. like this, Why the food is here, why the cops

  721. are there?

  722. White the protein? Okay?

  723. Anyway, he teaches on culture, Indian culture and.

  724. And and uh.

  725. Baji said, after a while, I got so tired because

  726. I'm just reading quietly. I'm just reading quietly here, he said,

  727. I I should read it loudly, so I keep myself awake.

  728. So he ready loudly. He ready loudly. He read, Uh,

  729. here I am witness again. He read, he read, he read,

  730. he read. As he was reading.

  731. His neighbors uh, at least one particular neighbor turned into

  732. a snake like being.

  733. So they they they fell on the floor.

  734. He didn't notice because he was in his house, in

  735. his room, and he fell into the floor.

  736. And then they began to.

  737. Slither like a snake to the front of the his house,

  738. and the mother saw it. The mother saw it and

  739. then said, my neighbors, what they're doing right? And so

  740. she did not on the door, and as she opens

  741. the screamed at her.

  742. Tell your son to stop reading that book.

  743. Non Christian reading the Bible can create such manifestation because

  744. the Word is living, but telling as you tell you

  745. when you meet him, except that he will tell you

  746. the story.

  747. He got so many So one time was over when

  748. you met a lady. Okay, say you are always you

  749. get to sleep. Uh, he didn't. He didn't know his

  750. neighbor die Aldio. And then the neighbor appeared to him

  751. the next day.

  752. But the thing is uh, because because he was such

  753. in the dark spirit that he could see darkness laget.

  754. But now he is a Christian, he's a preacher. He

  755. goes back to India to preach everywhere. You know, they

  756. want to kill him. The people that he left in

  757. India wants to kill him. So that he goes back

  758. to India. He asks us to pray for him because

  759. if they find him, they will kill him. But the

  760. thing is uh, the Word is life. So that the

  761. reason why I'm preaching to you. So you don't know

  762. what's happening to you. Now, something's happened to your spirit.

  763. That's why people get encouraged when he leave the church.

  764. Plus heal.

  765. The life.

  766. The Word has the power of his own and the

  767. ability to divide and discern.

  768. What was what.

  769. There's a Bible saying in uh in in the.

  770. Hebrews again for twelve uh and is able to what.

  771. The Word of God is living and powerful, sharper than

  772. any to just what piercing even to the division of

  773. soul and spirit and of joints and merrow. You know,

  774. soul and spirit has very had to divide, or the

  775. Word of work and divided joins and marrow joins and

  776. merrow very had to divide, or the Word of what

  777. can do it? So the Word of Work comes into

  778. your life. Even if you're feeling a bit confuser, you know,

  779. the Word work can come come in and break down

  780. that confusion. Because both guys are so good la. Both

  781. guys also handsome. Both both guys who you know what

  782. the muscle is there that we call it?

  783. You know you know?

  784. Both guys? Oh god, I'm so confused. Both those don't

  785. like me are no? Yeah, sorry, I talk to both.

  786. Both also got money? BOTHO got nice car. Oh my gosh,

  787. I see even if you, Oh my gosh. None of

  788. my friends can divide this my persons who don't know

  789. who to divide. But the word of God, when it

  790. comes through a joints and marrow, it appears.

  791. Okay this one because Christian damn Amen your word.

  792. I've hidden in my heart that I might not say

  793. it against you, say some one one nine eleven. You

  794. know I can preach a whole message death on this verse,

  795. So I won't. I won't not today because I got

  796. only three minutes left. Actually it's minus three minutes. See

  797. how your pastor need see you are once every seven weeks?

  798. Are so you think all us would we say put

  799. you into one message? Holah, praise God. I don't know

  800. where you missed me. I miss you a lot, all right. Finally,

  801. be doers of the word and not hear us. Only

  802. come on James one twenty two twenty five, Be come

  803. on doers of the world, and not hear us only. Now,

  804. the word only is very important. Why you must be

  805. here us but not hear us only? Ah, be both,

  806. So don't if you don't be both, then you're deceiving yourself.

  807. For if anyone is a hero of the word and

  808. does and not a doer, he's like a man observing

  809. his natural face in the mirror. Man in the mirror,

  810. For he observes himself, goes away and immediately forgets what

  811. kind of man he was. I underlined and bolded what

  812. kind of a man he was? No, this is what

  813. the word does to us as I close. As I close,

  814. I'm coming to the finishing line. I'm closing. You know

  815. what the word of what readers to us, and this

  816. is a woman as well. It shows us what kind

  817. of a man we are. And once we find out

  818. what kind of man we are and continue, I also

  819. bolded and underline that in that knowledge, and I become

  820. a doer of the work.

  821. The Bible says this one.

  822. Listen, everybody, this one will be blessed.

  823. You want to be blessed? Do you want to be blessed?

  824. You want your.

  825. Family to be blessed, Be doers of the world and

  826. hear us because it will show you what kind of

  827. man you are. And you must not forget what kind

  828. of man you are. And yes, God can make us

  829. into better men. Yes, but as he does that, and

  830. we continue in that and do the work that God

  831. shows us that we must do, the better we are

  832. as men and women, the more blessed we will be.

  833. Is as simple as that. The blessing follows the kind

  834. of man you are. I'm gonna say it again, The

  835. blessing follows the kind of man you are. And how

  836. do you know what kind of men you are? You

  837. look into the world like a mirror. It shows you.

  838. If you're not blessed, it's because you are maybe a

  839. kind who is not ready to be blessed. So make

  840. yourself a kind as ready to be blessed. How by

  841. looking into the perfect word of God. See, I'll show

  842. you the next line as I close, it says what

  843. kind of a man? These are the words I underline

  844. perfect law of liberty. So the word of God is

  845. not just perfect law. Is perfect law of liberty means

  846. it sets you free. When you look into the Word

  847. of God. It shouldn't make you feel worse. It shouldn't

  848. make you feel bad. But you're looking through word of God.

  849. It shouldn't bining you and put you in to prison. No,

  850. when you look and do the word of God, it

  851. should make you free. Somebody say amen, But you must continue,

  852. continue every day, be steadfast.

  853. And faithful, and do the work.

  854. Okay, What kind of a man determines if you'll be

  855. blessed in what you do? What kind of a man

  856. determines if you'll be blessed in what you do? And

  857. the only way you know what kind of men you are.

  858. The Word of God will divide and discern that for you.

  859. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. So, wow, Pastor,

  860. you've got conclusion. Yes, I have conclusion, and this is

  861. the conclusion. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter.

  871. Saying, oh, quite uncomfortable, but true. What Pass is saying

  872. is true. But it's uncomfortable because I had to change. Yes, change,

  873. become the kind of man that will invite the blessing

  874. of God.

  875. Change as you look into the perfect law of liberty.

  876. Be free.
