  4. plan for you? I want you to raise your.

  5. Hands never made sounding are getting your going into.

  6. So I'm not talking about a general planning facendful. I'm

  7. not saying that God has a plan for Malaysians, you know,

  8. just just I'm saying that God has a plan specifically

  9. for you.

  10. You got to see face through that.

  11. You know that a lot of people don't believe that

  12. they believe that God is a general God, just saying

  13. the evasion, but that God is not personal because I

  14. won't let you know that. It changes your life and

  15. your world when you begin to believe that God is

  16. a personal.

  17. God like Bunny down there like you want and you

  18. got told through the thing the people.

  37. mothers is that God has called them to really give themselves.

  38. No, that's a generation and the hotel, no good lives.

  39. She put on the function.

  40. But it is a blessing, but it's a very big

  41. challenge and burden and a lot of times mothers had

  249. an eternal truth in your life, neither your seeing it,

  250. whether it is this church or this country.

  251. I should think Ada, you can experience the presence and

  252. the love of going like she didn't show without I

  253. have had the eye.

  254. Who do you think is the guy the apostle and

  255. that backslider the most in the Bible.

  256. Down?

  257. What's like you mean? Guess? Peter? Very good? I thought

  258. some people would say Juda's already jud So two names

  259. come into our mind, isn't it, young man? Is Judas

  260. just a Yoda? And Peter? How you tak a bitter?

  261. The difference between Judas and Peter? There's a fun what's

  262. the difference? One betrayed Jesus? You just like one denied

  263. Jesus three times?

  264. You know you got your fault? Yes, Sis, it.

  265. Three times means it's complete.

  266. And final, sands it is one higher sweet.

  267. It's the similar word of the people use for divorce.

  268. You just dig one. You you understand what I'm saying.

  269. Mean by man in another religion, when you say the

  270. word divorce three times, it means final, you know, when.

  271. You cheap one science just just a turn lot.

  272. So I have a friend from another religion. So they

  273. said the word three times and the divorce over.

  274. Texting on just the toal san cinma just toward.

  275. I'm just telling you that what bitter d to Jesus

  276. is actually very devastating, because yes, so sens, that's the

  277. whole just a First of all, Judas has a problem,

  278. so Yoda has to. Of course, you can't say he

  279. loves money short I said it. But Judas's biggest problem

  280. is that he had a different picture of Jesus because

  281. the kind finders. So you're young, and I want to

  282. let you know that a lot of time, not a

  283. lot of this in our church. We have a lot

  284. of Judases and Peters in our church. No man yo

  285. hondo hio. The better people who backs like because not

  286. either they are a Judas or a Peterman.

  287. Lies you are you Alsians Yahama juicus Yoda just a better.

  288. The first group people had the wrong picture of Jesus

  289. just like you want just three years. Yeah, Judas betrayed

  290. Jesus because he no longer believed Jesus to be the

  291. kind of Jesus that he wanted.

  292. Now you're not she paid hand yes sooner in she's

  293. in the years to unsel Yeah, the year more young.

  294. Instead of being a king. Jesus told all his disciples

  295. that he's gonna hang on the cross when the year

  296. sooner tap mao like taboos or she show pid Yeah,

  297. it was a dead moment after following Jesus three years

  298. the next hold on you can yes. Then he then

  299. he realized he's gonna follow so called a loser you

  300. how do you like? She just spider, No, it's like

  301. you follow a political party and realize that, hey, they

  302. don't intend to wind you like this.

  303. Uh it got turned for the down high fashion Thomas

  304. mill and not.

  305. Just loser lose in dramatic fashion and being hung on

  306. the crosser.

  307. Say how sans so soon the niaga fami and also

  308. like she face hung in don't do don't the fun

  309. fire like you?

  310. So so he decided to cut losses and go to

  311. the other team to do I pull that Okay, now

  312. what is the problem with Peter? Not bitter, don't want

  313. to use what's the problem. What's the problem, And that

  314. is the second group of people who are baxtiting, not

  315. just the thing way out like she releationed. The first

  316. group have a wrong picture of Jesus just three years

  317. to the kanfa. The second group of people has the

  318. wrong picture of themselves. Do it this you a canfa?

  319. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.

  320. You mean by man. Peter saw himself differently.

  321. Peter hashd like to use young the kind of like

  322. you can't that.

  323. He had no problem looking at Jesus. Wasn't He even

  324. declared you are the christ Son of the living earth.

  325. He was part of jesus inner circle. That's yes, to

  326. do it. But yeah, he fell because he had the

  327. wrong picture. Do you can fast? He saw himself that

  328. he is able to do whatever that God asked him

  329. to do. How can I so your tat that is here?

  330. He was strong, he was bothful, I just go out okay,

  331. And because of that it became the downfall of his life.

  332. The inter.

  333. Arranged Dico.

  334. So we what it means that we also have a

  335. lot of Christians who really loved Jesus action. And I

  336. can tell that some of you here who if you,

  337. even if you beg like, I can tell you still

  338. love Jesus.

  339. No, okay, your Lisi's action.

  340. I can tell you you might even have a very

  341. powerful testimony.

  342. Donny connor, Hay, you can face hunter.

  343. Testimony like Peter want and not Peter. You probably not

  344. have stories or great faith in your life before you.

  345. But even after all these things, you still did things

  346. out of your own strength.

  347. So dis high strengths like like she does.

  348. And in just less than three hours she felt to

  349. s Peter, had you Jesus. Jesus told him before the

  350. cock crows, you will deny me three times?

  351. It's doing her bitter tell like she was sensed before this.

  352. Jesus said, if even if everyone denied, your eye will

  353. never deny you.

  354. I'm sure so for already waship boy for render.

  355. And you know what happened is that the Bible? Then

  356. it's not Mama, he fell asleep, straitch, you couldn't watch

  357. and pray with Jesus three times, But just.

  358. Like your yes, so easy?

  359. She that okay? Then he got temper problem. You know

  360. how you he's got violence tendencies. You know that is

  361. the sne Jesus already told you he's going to get arrested. Ready, yes, short,

  362. and you're not the only one that you got other

  363. disciples there as well. Put how sometimes when you start

  364. violence and temper, it affects everyone around you, like being

  365. put on the red. You know sometimes you know how

  366. many of you when you drive you get into road ridge?

  367. It hold what you cut me? Like that? Like you

  368. got a war? And then the fathers we do what

  369. the father does a footing drive up and then look

  370. at the guy.

  371. You know, the other does herman ship pumping like you

  372. can't have.

  373. You wanna come down, You want to come down, But

  374. then you realize that you got your wife and your children,

  375. the car.

  376. Your fashion need do your teaser, you need a high

  377. and they're.

  378. Baking news I bail down. Do you want a person

  379. who have temper and violent tendencies driving the car?

  380. Your PC? Bout your bale?

  381. Her mom, Can Jesus trust this guy to lead the

  382. disciples and the church? Yes?

  383. Soon she she's dialing into the gay.

  384. A person who cannot be trusted for his competency.

  385. Into the like she basing render and the person.

  386. Who cannot be trusted because of his temper and violence.

  387. Invade leaders the change.

  388. The ta non lid like she and the and the

  389. third one is a person who cannot be trusted for

  390. his loyalty.

  391. Sgar no like she said, don't sing the funding like

  392. she bathed rented.

  393. But she didn't. But there's a very important lesson about

  394. Peter here, Peter fish the question she didn't deny Jesus

  395. out of coincidence.

  396. Mayor life? She in the just shout her even her

  397. life she for written.

  398. Yes. So if you read the scriptures carefully.

  399. Everyone likes you, how how can they get single on

  400. the fund?

  401. Especially in the Gospel? Look that look for an imen.

  402. You will notice it says that when Jesus was being

  403. arrested and taken to the House of the High Priests,

  404. then you shut down down. Ye I'm not using the

  405. scripture because of time. Sorry, like she when she did,

  406. go back and read your scriptures for yourself. Okay. How

  407. to say is that there were two disciples that were

  408. that we were, that were with Jesus.

  409. Ten you shut down down government. Yes, today who were there?

  410. Saw Peter and Peter?

  411. Who's the second one? Shame John, are your hand? A

  412. lot of people don't know that, but there's a different

  413. But there is a difference between the two of them.

  414. Younger John was under protection. You, Hannah said the show

  415. about actually knows the high priest family. It's like, you know,

  416. if someone got arrested and one of the family members

  417. that followed them knows the police.

  418. Okay, okay, tour things dating.

  419. So John knew the priests and all the people that

  420. were accusing Jesus. Hey, you Hannah the Sharan And this

  421. is very important because John had what we call covering.

  422. No you, Hannah down house and you guy that where

  423. were the rest of the disciples?

  424. She had a man mana nila. This is midnight, just

  425. after after twelve, they go home. They all went back home.

  426. Yeah, wait, yalla, And where was Bitter bitter than he

  427. was neither at home. Yeah, he was neither with John

  428. or the priests or the gods.

  429. May or her your hand. He was on his own igeranhold.

  430. One of the biggest signs of people backsliding is that

  431. they are always on their own.

  432. It can finish fish that you and Lish just should have.

  433. Always do things out of their own string. But they

  434. don't realize that are neither here or there. They're on

  435. their own in the dark. Do you not may hold

  436. on me way like she put didn't like she just push.

  437. This is what we call the concept of covering a

  438. three women shoulder to the guy you see her. And

  439. a very important example was for the Israelites when they

  440. were in Egypt. Say I does say when the Angel

  441. of Death was going to visit the entire Egypt? What

  442. did God tell his people.

  443. To turn thiground the light of the I that's n

  444. run handle the mean to.

  445. Go and go to the pasa malam and what is

  446. it going by it? You can eat that? But God

  447. told them to stay inside the house where the blood

  448. is appliednation had you like you run man here you

  449. take a gay ship that thinky man. God provides the

  450. covering guy, But it's your responsiblity to remain inside the

  451. covering that needed the guide. And if you stay outside

  452. the covering, now you got that guy the white you

  454. it's your own responsibility.

  455. Means so fashions citation need that doesn't.

  485. to see your true face. It can face just a

  486. wait that.

  490. but without the covering of God, male session, that's the

  491. guy you No, you realize you cannot serve a follow
