Perfect Peace | Pr. Kenneth Chin

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

The title for today is perfect peace. Let's see where

it comes from. Are you ready? Isaiah twenty six, verse three, parsidentically,

just have the bottle of use water already? Yeah, thank you?

Just to Yeah, I don't know. I've been eating so

much this past Chinese year.

What is this?

Oh?

Oh, thank you very much? Thank you? Pass day? Okay?

Are you ready re read God's word? You will keep

him in perfect peace? Whose mind is stayed on you

because he trusts in you. Isaiah twenty six, verse three.

I want to encourage you to try to memorize this verse.

This is a wonderful verse for those of us who

go through difficulties and challenges. I've memorized it by the

grace of God, and so every morning I use it,

I will say, you will keep it in perfect peace.

Whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.

And I think some of you in this room really

need God's peace, or you know somebody who needs God's peace.

As I was looking into the scripture, the Lord told

me do a little bit of study of what perfect

peace means in the Hebrew. So I look into the Hebrew,

and this is what perfect peace means. It means shalom shalom.

So those of you who know shalom, it means peace.

But this is shalom shalom, perfect peace. When you say

perfect peace, do you mean that there can be imperfect peace?

Think about that for a moment. Imperfect peace means a

peace that is there but not sufficient for what you're

going through, a peace that's there but not sufficient for

what you're going through. So God introduced this in his

word and he is it perfect piece, or rather in

the original Hebrew, is shalom shalom, double shalom.

What does it really mean?

It means a complete peace that covers all areas of

life spiritual, mental, emotional, spirit, soul and body.

All right, it's a whole piece.

Not just part piece, ninety piece, but a whole. You know,

some of you could be rich but sick, that's not whole.

Whole means every part of you is blessed, every part

of you is well, every part of you is healthy.

God wants to give you shalom shalom, a complete piece.

All right.

You know some of you are at peace spiritually, but

maybe not mentally. Why maybe because last you hurt that

somebody you like or somebody you love is not well.

Maybe uh, you know.

I went to my family reunion and I heard that

my cousin, who definitely looks much healthier than me, fainted

in the mall.

And when he fainted them all, I said, when do

you faint? The moll ut come?

You know, sometimes the only a Chinese neal reunion we

find out what happened to our family. Though he is

my closest cousin, but obviously not that closer, because he

said to me, I fainted in the mall two years ago,

two years ago, and I went to check out and

realized that my heart is not good. He's fifty eight

years old. My heart is not good. And I looked

at him. You know, I'm like, wow, you should have

told me. I can pray for you. You know, my

heart is not good. Fifty eight and not sure. His

father passed on at about fifty nine because of a

heart attack, So of course he jokes that, oh, my

father left me many things, and.

He also left me a heart as week. And you know, we.

Want to love, but we don't have to love it.

All is like, Okay, he's making a joke. He's trying

to make light of his situation. But maybe you just

heard about something. Maybe you just got a medical report.

Maybe you just hurt, you know something that has caused

you to be mentally not at peace.

You sleep, you.

Think about it, you wake up, you think about it,

you eat, you think about it. Okay, So spiritual peace

but not mental peace, how come because it's not complete?

Or you have spiritual mental but not emotional because something

has just happened. Maybe you just argue with your wife,

and so I have peace. God is my God. I

have the Prince of Peace living in me. My mental peace. Yeah,

so far, so good, But emotionally I'm not as happy

this morning as I should be. So the kind of

peace that God wants to give us is a complete peace.

Somebody say, amen, God wants to give us this peace.

And it's full, complete, whole spirit, soul body. It's a deep, unshakable,

all encompassing calm that comes from God. A steadiness of mind.

Oh steady, we like to say here religious steady, steadier.

Not just when you know when you see a good

looking girl, steady you know, no, no, no, or see

a look good looking guy. Oh steady stay, No, no,

not that cars steady. This is steady. Because the world

is so full of bad news and it shakes us.

But when God gives us this peace, it's very deep, unshakable.

There's a calm even in the midst of a storm.

It's not the absence of problems or pressure, but the

answer for them.

In fact, can I tell you this.

The more problems or pressure we face, the more we

need this peace.

It's going to be okay.

Turn to your neighbor right now, and with faith, look

at look at me in the eyes, say it's going

to be okay. It's going to be okay. Anyone here

want to get married, You don't have to put up

your hands. Haven't found a boyfriend yet? You know, at

thirty two, it's going to be.

You know.

The funny thing is that those who want to be

married are desperate, you know, to be married, and those

who have been married are desperate. Should I finish the

center's no, weis should not because it's Chinese. Yere's a

good day Sunday. And I wanted to say, those who

are married want to remain married. Hallely, I'm man Amen, Yeah,

some people are like looking like, yeah, sure, no, I

pray in Jesus name lor bless every marriage. He Amen,

it's going to be okay. We're going to get through this.

Those of you are going to We're gonna get through this.

Yeah.

Those of you who are playing pick a ball and

you are wanting to, you know, play the finals and win,

We're gonna get through this. Huh Amen. Only two amens

so far. One step at a time, one day at

a time. What does complete whole mean?

All right? It means happy.

And healthy because I've seen people are happy but not healthy.

Have you seen that happy because maybe got money, a

lot of money in the bank account. Oh, they can't

buy anything that has to hire, but not healthy. I've

seen rich people in the hospital. You know, rich people

in the hospital look like poor people. Meaning to say that,

when you put a rich man and a poor man

on the on the bed in the hospital, they look

the same. I've seen a rich man's scream because he

can't go to the toilet. I've seen a poor man

scream as because he goes.

Ah. No, I've scined.

I said, you know, at the end of the day,

they're the same. But when God moves with perfect peace.

He wants to give us both happiness and healthy. Because

both happiness and health, I should say, because you can.

Be healthy and also not happy. All right, how about this?

Have you ever heard about this prayer?

I heard it many many years ago, this prayer that

this man said, giving thanks for food. I like that prayer.

I remembered it until today. I think I heard it

twenty years ago. The man said. He says, oh, please,

please give thanks for the food. He says, yes, I will.

He says, Lord. Some have food but no appetite. Some

have appetite but no food. Lord, I thank you today

I have both.

Amen. Isn't that true? However, you know that a lot

of food but can't.

Eat there's no epetite. I used to take my father

in law eighty three years and I s he was

eighty two. I used to take him to buffe when

I got married thirty one years ago. When I got

married and my father in law was only fifty plus.

When I took him to buffe, he who up everything.

He like me is we are sweet tooth people. So

we go to buffets. We start with the dessert. Come on,

anybody feeling me here? We start with dessert, and then

we go to the main meal, and then we end

with dessert. Hallelujah. That's the way you do it. Okay,

those of you who don't do it that away, I'll

pray for your thirds. The revelation haven't come my father

in law. But when he became seventy seventy five, seventy

seven eighty, I thought, don't bother the game to Buffei

because he takes one plate, three different things on his plate.

He comes, he eats, he says, Oh, Paula, right, you

don't want to think a man like that to buffet.

In fact, I never took him Buffey after that already,

because you know he there's a lot of food, but

no appetite. Some people are very hungry, very hungry, but

no food, and be thankful for both. That's called complete,

that's called whole. We want that kind of life, don't we.

We want that kind of life. And God gives you

not just peace shalom, but chalom shalom, the whole, the

complete kind of shalom.

Yeah.

How if a father here gave a tesla to his daughter,

Oh huh, do you know.

What tesla is? Ah?

She don't know what she thought, she thought, Tesla. God,

she's always in the test, so huh, yeah, he gave

me a testla, test me lie and see, okay, you know,

give you a Tesla, but not the battery. What is

a Tesla without battery? That's that's just that's just tesla

testing me? And ah yeah, how about you gave your

you know, your your your wife a BMW that not

buss Beanie will like but you know.

BMW.

Huh but not the keys o killers.

She will really kill you.

How if you gave a Shay iPhone eighteen Cotachia on

the way, on the way, on the way, on the way,

So you gave iPhone eighteen, but no data is in

life right now? We we we get this, but not that.

What does it profit if a man gains the whole

world but lose his soul? Bibles very clear, that's not whole,

that's not complete. Everybody still with me? How about when

Jesus said in John ten ten the thief does not

come but to still kill and destroy. I have come

that you may have life, and lie more bodily so

life even non Christians have. If whatever you look at

an unbeliever, you know who have yet to come to

know Jesus. He looks like he's living the life, but

not abundant life, not yet. So Jesus don't just want

to give you life. He wants to give you life

and life more abundantly. When I went to Meidan Meydan,

because they follow Israel so much, this particular church called GBI,

they gave me the theme to speak on. That's why

I couldn't use any of my messages. And the theme

is an Israel theme the Israel. Israel goes with a

yearly theme according to their year. So the year of

Israel now is five seven eighty six, and for every

ten years they have a general theme. So pay pe

y is their theme. For ten years before pay was

I een a y i nd which is ice. So

I guess you gotta see first the vision and then

speak the vision with your mouth. So I in is eyes,

pay is mouth, so mouth paypey means to declare. So

for ten years, Israel is in a posture of declaring

the word of God. Pay mouth declare okay, So they

gave me the theme. As you study what pay is?

I ready knew what pay is, but I didn't know

what twenty twenty six exact theme.

Of Israel was and it's valv v a v valve.

And so the Israel year starts in September, so they

started edding. They started September and then they end in September,

so that one year is pay vav. Vav means hook

in literal word, a hook or a nail. Vav also

means connection or the connection. And vav also means in

one word and a and d. And so when God comes,

he wants to give you pay vav. Pay valv means

he speaks on your life and vav and hooks you

in to his will. He speaks a word and valve

you into his will, his word, his way, his wisdom.

Are you with me?

And so when I studied pay valve, which is the

general theme that Gbi Maydan gave me, I had to

prepare the message. And I realized that God had already

given me a message. And I said, God wants to

make you happy and valve and connect and healthy. So

this year, if you are linked with Israel in your spirit,

and we are as a church linked with Israel in

our spirit, we can declare the promise of this year,

which is pay speak the valve, the end of God.

So not just will I be healthy this year, but

I also believe I can be wealthy this year and

come on, not only happy but healthy, not only life,

but life more. I want you, I want you to

be able to speak with your mouth.

God. Don't just give me this, but give me that,

this and that.

Don't just only make half of my family safe but

the other Halflet come on, amen, so we can pay

valve and then only completement, not just parents Christian children. Lord,

I declare, it's not my year. I did declare pay valve.

Pay Valve is a year that Israel declared. And because

we are linked, intertwined with the destiny of Israel, Payva.

We will speak until the end happens. Parents and children saved,

children and parents safe. Your stay with me. This is

very powerful life and life more abundantly. Everyboy, okay, one

Shalom is fine. Life goes on, ministry continues, but there's

something that still bothers, something that holds us back, and

we're not completely free, not completely at rest. So I

met this pastor who is doing very well. He is

a lay pastor, so he has a business outside and

his business.

Has been doing very very well.

And he said to me, the desire that he has

to do business is so that he can make money,

so that he can give.

More to the church. Okay. Cool.

And this pastor when he speaks, very good speaker.

All right.

So I thought, from the outside, you see, sometimes you

look at people from the outsider. We all look fine,

all look fine, some look sleepy. As I scanned through there,

I realized how many eyes are closed. Okay, one more

time scanning or or the eyes a phrase? God, we

should do scanning and now and then across. Okay, now,

why maybe you're tired. Okay, but here we go. So. Uh,

when I look at him, he looks like he has

an amazing life. Sometimes when we look at our neighbor,

what I want the life he has. But you don't know, No,

you don't know. You don't know what life your neighbor

really has. So I sat down with this brother who

was very kind to come and see me. Because I

say kind, because he must have believed that I had

something to offer him, he said, Pastor Kenneth. And by

this time he was in tears. And I said, what's wrong?

He says, I feel like giving up everything. I say why,

I said, your life looks so good. He says, yeah,

my wife thinks it's good. My children think it's good.

Even my wife thinks it's good. Because he's not shared

it with his wife, he says, cut a long story short.

He says, I am so stuck in pornography. It's eating

me up like cancer inside. Every time I prepare a message,

I've either found myself preparing it after I watched a

pornography or before. He says, I am so. I said, yeah,

but you sound like that a good preacher, He said, yeah,

pass Candeth. I think I have enough just to go

through every week. You know, some people live just enough.

They have enough peace just to do business. You have

enough peace just to go to work and say everybody,

how's everybody fine?

Good?

And you have enough peace just to finish your work.

But you go back home feeling like I don't want

to go back home because only you know what's eating

up inside. And sometimes that's all we have. We have

enough just to carry on going to school, going to work,

or even doing ministry, preaching from one Sunday after the other.

But nobody so worse still, right when you look like

you're doing well but you're not, and you know you're

not right. That's when it really eats you up, because

it's like living a life of hypocrisy. And after a while,

people just can't stand it. They themselves looking into the

mirror and they can't look at it at themselves anymore

because it's like it's so bad. And so I had

to tell this brother. I say, look, I want to

tell you about my story. And I told him how

I was stuck in pornography for ten years while serving

as a youth leader. And I thought I was doing

a great job, but sometimes really we only have enough

just to get through the day, and then we hit

ourselves on the head saying what am I doing? How

long can I live this lie? The pressure is great,

the stress is mounting. And I told this brother, I said,

you are not completely alone, and if you allow me,

I will walk with you. If you allow me, I

will call you now and then. And the Holy Spirit

one time, the Holy Spirit led me to call him

while he was in the act, and he said, pa,

I said, remember I told you, then I'll call you,

And you say, yes, I can call you anytime. So

I said, sometimes the Holy Spirit will call me.

To call you.

And so he said to me, pass I was afraid

when you will call me, So every time I turn

on that internet or whatever it is, possily going to

call me right now, you know. So that helped because

the fear of God came into his life. I have

got good news to you to tell you that after

six months, he had so much victory that he felt. Yeah,

he said, Passive, I'm not totally out of it. Sometimes

I still like get them to do. But he said,

it's much better. I've got much more victory today, much

more control today than I've ever had before. You know

what he got from the Lord not just peace to

get through the day. He got perfect peace, a shalom

shalom that put his heart at rest, you know, because

at the end of the day, if you don't, you

will find yourself wanting to give up. Just throw in

the towel, because no one in this room can live

a lie for too long.

You can't. You just can't do it. So you want

to be.

Free, amen, You want to be free, and all God

can set you free. Jesus, you will know the truth,

and the truth will set you free. We're running sometimes

closer to empty than we are running at full.

And I want to speak this to you because I.

Really sense the Holy Spirit in this room wanting to

set his people free and wanting to fill you again

until you're so full that you got enough to spare

to give to others. All right, those of you who

are running on empty, You've done your job, you finish

whatever you're big held to do, but.

You have nothing left at the end.

You can't even smile at your wife, and you get

back home because I believe leave me alone. I just

I just want to sleep because you're just running on

to cop and for those of you watching in other

countries to cos been enough.

To cook enough.

So chalom shalom, I want to declare over all of

you receive it in Jesus name, Shalom shalom.

Now I want to.

Say to you that the Bible is very clear that

this is not without condition. Okay, let me just bring

you to the next light. The Bible says he will

keep us. Now, the reason why you keep anything is

because you don't want it to be lost.

You don't want it to be stolen.

So can I just declare to you this morning that

God doesn't want to lose you, and he doesn't want

anyone to steal you. And who is here to steal us?

Of course the devil John ten ten. Again, the thief

does not come except to steal, kill, and destroy. So

why do you keep anything you don't wanted to be lost?

Right? Right? If it doesn't matter to you, are you

just put it outside? Right?

Because it's like yo takla. In fact, some of you

will go, please take right, cause it's rubbish to you.

But I want to say this that you are not

rubbish to God. You are precious and you are valuable.

Now I'm gonna show you one other verse is found

in Romans sixteen twenty, and I want to see. I

want to let you see how it's written. The Bible says,

and the God of Peace will crush Shatan on your

feet shortly, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be

with you.

Amen.

Just in case you think that the peace of God

is weak, I want to declare to you this morning

that the peace of God is very powerful, is very strong. Now,

if I wrote this scripture, if I wrote this scripture.

I will say, and the God of war.

And the God of power, and the God of greatness,

and the God who is warrior. Right, But the Bible

doesn't read like this. The Bible reads the God of Peace.

So if Satan is bothering you, your health, your finances,

your family, you know what's going to crush him. Come on,

you know what's gonna crush him. Peace, the God of

Peace will crush Satan under whose feet? Not under God's feet,

under your feet, not many years from now, shortly, as

shortly as before this service ends.

Do you believe it? The grace of our Lord Jesus

Christ be with you.

Amen, we need this peace. What do you keep? You

only keep important and precious things.

Amen.

Now, before I close this morning, I want to remind

you this is a conditional promise from Isaiah twenty six,

verse three. A conditional promise means you get this promise

of Shalom shalom from God who wants to keep you

in his perfect peace on condition. What is the condition?

The Bible says, whose mind is stayed on you? Whose

mind is stayed on you? Do you know what that means?

Do you know what stay means means? Say means, live

means you are found in the address. Yes means there

is permanency. Yes means that I can more often find

you there than not.

Yes, Sonny, I know you play pickerball more often.

Than not, But I don't think I'll be able to

find you on the basket on the pickleball court all

the time. Your wife just says no. Wife also say almost,

I don't think so. I don't think so. Maybe maybe

maybe the chances are higher, but I don't think it's

a permanent place for you. People won't say a sunny

stays in the pick ah also saying almost, Daniel, is

that true? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, But you'll understand what

stay means. Right, Stay, where do you stay? Where do

you live?

Just with in got the co mooning? Well done, Albert.

Where do you say ever? Want to say? In the gym?

Sleeping with his boaster? Yeah?

The waits you know, but you understand what I'm saying, right, Stay,

stay where I can find you most of the time. Stay,

Stay where I will be visiting you. If I come

and visit visit you for ties year. Yes, you won't

invite me to the basketball court. You know you won't

be having cookies there? Yeah, stay eye under saying this

This is not rocket science. Whose mind is stayed on you?

The mind that's where the real battle is agreed. That's

where the real battle is, that's where it must be worn.

So that's that's why your mind and my mind must

be stayed on Christ. If we want his perfect piece,

his perfect piece will not come to us if our

mind mind is not stayed now, if our mind is

not stayed on the Lord, I guarantee you you'll be

stayed on something else. How many of you have ever

got a bad medical report? Let me see your head,

bad medical report before last, not now, in the past.

Let me see your hands anyone, Okay, thank you so much,

Thank you so much. Anyone like bad Choles's wrong, like

bad sugar or whatever. Or you know somebody who's ever

had a bad report in your family?

Yeah, bad report.

Now, I tell you one thing about health, bad health

is that it stays on you, and it stays on you.

It stays on you every time you eat.

Can I eat this? Every time you think your supplement,

you know whatever, it just stays on you.

He said, God is asking you to have your mind

stayed on Him, even if you have something else your mind.

Can be occupied with.

Be anxious for nothing Philippines for six or seven, but

in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving. Let your

request we may known to God. Then the peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding. Well, God, your hearts and mind

is true Christ Jesus. The peace of God I told

you earlier is very strong, is very powerful. But I

want to tell you right now and remind you is

the God. It's the God. Most of us are living

in guarded communities. Yes, no, No, anyone in this room

not living in the garded community. I think almost all,

almost all because everyone is rich in this room. Hallelujah,

praise God, rich in God. So I have a God, right,

thank God. You know it's not high security because you

know what high security is. They just come and say hi,

and then the God says God. Right, So thank God,

no more high security for me. Yeah, this is what

actually have to ask.

What I see you?

And right?

How many else here?

You know? The God? Thank God for gods, good gods.

Do you know what the the goodness with the God

the best? Or so he's with the God. No, the

the answer is with the God. The problem was always

with the God. You want to said that because the

God will stop or allow, Yes, singing your house?

Od? Got right?

I remember? Yeah, hey this one this area here the God? Really,

I thought, I know when I go to Sharon's house.

You know, sister Sharon, why invite me come to my house?

You know the god?

Wow? Really, few gods, few gods? You know? Who are you?

I don't. I don't tell them anything else. I just say, Sharon.

You know what I say? No address, Oh, auntie, Sharon, so ah,

give me, give me, give me diversis. I don't have.

I see if I give you my divers I said

to kill you. One time I told the god. They said,

mind didn't give me a wife.

Wine. So as you do who you are? Do you

look like policeman, so I said, Sharon. Oh no, no, no, no, no.

No no, ask you for drivers. So you have a god.

Now listen, the peace of God is your god. So

the God stands at the door of your heart, at

the door of your mind. And when words from Satan comes.

You are lousy, You are good for nothing. You're the

worst mother I've ever seen. Right, you're the worst business man.

You can't make money, you always lose money. Right, You're

a failure. Right, you will never have a pretty girlfriend.

You never have a good looking boyfriend. I don't know. Okay,

whatever the devil. You know your grandfather was a failure.

Your father was a failure. You are a failure right,

all these words coming from Satan. And you know who

says stop right now, thank you very much. Not spice girls,

but peace, The peace of God stands God there, Hello,

who are you?

I see? Please? Driver?

So I says, no, I just want to attack the family.

No way, You stop here and you go. So you

know who gods your heart and mind is the peace?

I told you this before, I'll tell you again. It's

really true. Peace has got that power.

Though.

You know you will never be able to be healthy

again because you're whole soul. Someone has cancer in your

family and someone else has canceled. So you are going

to And you know sometimes we allow these thoughts.

You know why we up to the top?

Okay, hit somebody's had no so you know you know

why we allow these thoughts. We didn't really allow it.

The peace of God wasn't there. The peace of God

wasn't there.

Are you with me?

So when the peace of God is there, the peace

will stand and the words of God will come.

It might be impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Walking you have been wonderfully and fearfully made, even though

you don't think so when you look in the mirror.

Come in with God, all things are possible. Come in.

By his stripes, you are healed. Coming.

God is good. Come in, He's good all the time.

Come in even more amen. By his blood, you are

washed and cleanse. Your sins are forgiven.

Come in. You may have been a rascal in your past,

but with Jesus you are safe. Come in.

Because the God only got two d man. Stop or

come stop? Come yeah, stop or enter? Stop or enter?

Are you with me? With me? When you don't have.

The peace of God, that God's your heart and mind,

true Christ Jesus, that's when it becomes troublesome because you

allow thoughts they're not supposed to come in to come in,

and thoughts that are supposed to come in. You kick

it up because can he be true? Can God's would

be true? You know?

So Let me now draw towards the close.

The Bible says Second Corinthians ten four to five says,

for the weapons of our warfare are not connel. You

must remember this, but mighty in God for pulling down.

So you see this pulling down because there are in

your thoughts right now, things.

That are high and lifted up. You gotta cast.

Down every high thing that exorts itself against the knowledge

of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience

of Christ.

How many of you in this room have ever fallen

in love?

And now I won't I won't embarrass you. You don't

have to put up your hands. But how many of

you in this room has ever fallen in love? Okay? Wonderful?

Oh very nice. I can see couples trying to force

their husband's hands to go up. Okay, I understand how

it works. I understand how it works. Yeah, yeah, all right.

Some husbands are looking down a day because, like more,

I can't even remember what love is how you spell.

But I think all of you, all of you, otherwise

you won't be married unless it was an arranged marriage, sir.

Arranged marriage is married first, love later, right, It's okay,

it's okay, it works those times. But all of us,

especially those of us who have been married before, they've

been married before all are married, I think we have

fallen in love. Do you all still remember how to

fall in love? Do you all still remember how it

was when you fell in love? Some of the guys

going up, but the pie don't ask any boy. You know,

my wife's gonna ask you many questions where I go. Well,

I tell you are you think about the person quite often?

Quite often, even when a person said no to you

those you still think about her.

You know, I like you? Do you like me?

No?

Not in that way.

We are in the friend zone, friend zone, and you

just to keep us friends one you want to write

a song?

Friend zone? How do I get out of this friend zone?

It's good for merry couples here to think about how

you fell in love and how this woman was everything

to you. You just can't wait to get married to her.

But you know, our mind was stayed. It's some silly

things you do when you're in love. No, have you

heard of guys that passed by the classroom just to

see her one more time?

Huh? Passed by the classroom.

You know, and the teacher said, hey, hello, why are

you passing by this classroom all the time? No, no, no, no,

just passing by, you know, wanting to go to the toilet.

And then the teacher said, yeah, but you're from the

other school. Use not a toilet near the school, you know?

Trying to say you do ridiculous things on your love,

ridiculous things you go to second mile, third mile, can't

stop thinking about you. This is the condition that those

of us who want perfect peace need to have with God.

I can't stop thinking about you, Jesus.

So I'm gonna encourage all of you before I close it,

before I pray that there will be a fresh love

that will stir up in our hearts today for the Lord.

Because I tell you what, it's easier to think about

trouble and problems than to think about the Lord. But

I pray that all of you here in this room

will come to a place whereby I can't stop thinking

about you.

The kind of thinking that changes of countenance.

You know, when you're in love, you think about the

girl and you're ooh, he's smiling right in the middle

of exam and your pray Are you smiling? Man's examiner? Well,

you're so confident in her? No, no, sorry, sorry, because

you just think about her or you think about him.

He's six packs. Yeah, now on one pack because I

believe in unity. So the six pecks became one man.

Now I have a mobile pullpit. I can just rest

my my Bible here mobile pulpit. The kind of thinking

that changes our countenance while you think about her, think

about him. Oh, times can be bad, but you think, Oh,

I smile, smile, No matter asks you.

Why is smiling? More? Mosy? Mosy? Nothing? Nothing? Nothing? And

this is what God does.

Where we think about Him every time, even when our

body is in pain, and we think about Jesus, think

about his goodness. That's why Sums forty three, Verse five says,

why are you cast out?

Know my soul? And why are you disquite it? Within me?

Hoping God for I shall yet praise him? Is what

is he? He is the help of my countenance. When

I think about him, my sadness turns into gladness, my

tears and sorrow.

Into joy. He is the help of my countenance.

Without him, I can't smile, especially when my family is

in trouble, especially when my loved one has cancer, especially

when I have a bill I cannot pay.

How can I smile? Smile?

But when I can't stop thinking about God, he will

change my countenance.

That's the ProBiS.

There's nothing like pressure, problem and pain that keeps our

minds stayed on him. Do you know there's a purpose

of problems and purpose for pressure and pain, because it's

not easier to think about God when.

The times are good. It takes practice.

Very few of us I think about God where we

don't need him.

It takes practice.

Now, by the grace of God, I recoup when I

think about Jesus because the Lord helped me to do that.

Before I recop, so I think about him. Sure my

eyes open, and it opened about four forty five this morning.

I opened you eyes. I don't know why the Lord

has trained me. So I opened up my eyes in

good morning, Lord, and I know it's not me. It's

just a training because I've always desired Lord. May I

think about you so often, even without trouble, because most

of us think about him only when there's trouble.

When times are good, he's the last on our list.

That's why God allows pain, pressure and problems so that

we will.

Turn to Him again and again and again again and again.

And it's a good thing because then he promises perfect.

Okay, finally, so remember what the Bible says Isaiah twenty six,

verse three. What this is, you will keep him in

perfect peace. Shalom shalom. Whose mind is staying on you

because he trusts in you. So the because he trust

in you is another condition. No, just think about him,

trust in him, trust in him. Okay, before I go

to the next slide, don't go to the next slight yet.

Just stay on this slide for now. Can I tell

you very quickly that there is a there's a difference

between trust God and trust in God. Albert, if I

say to you now, right now, trust God, what do

you think of immediately? I think you. I think you

will think of that God will solve my problems. Because

nobody says trust God unless there is a problem. Do

you simply go to your friend say trust God. No,

it's because you hurt. That's a problem. You hurt, there's

a need you hurt. There's a difficulty. Right then you

say trust God right now.

So the.

Phrase trust God is contingent or dependent on your problem

being fixed. The question is how if your problem is

not fixed?

Okay? See, so this is way a lot.

Of Christians stumble and fall and get frustrated and want

to give in, give up, don't come to church anymore.

Because this God I waited on him for six months

a year. People time me will trust him. But see

my problems to there. See, your eyes are still on

your problem. So trust in God is very different. Trust

in God. The next I can come out now is

trust in who God is, in his love. That means

that even if my prayers answered, I still believe He

is a God who loves me. Even in my prayers

no answered, I still believe that He is a merciful God.

Even if my you know, the money hasn't come in yet,

I believe that his grace is a faith sian. Even

if you know my my, my family member is not

here yet, you believe he is good, and He's good

all the.

Very different.

Trust God and trust in him. I remember watching a

movie one time. No, the lady says, don't you trust me?

And the guy says, I don't trust you, I trust

in you. He melted the girl's heart.

No, Like.

You know, I'm try to say no, not just trust God,

but I trust in you God that no matter what

happens from my problem, no matter what happens to my trouble,

is in you.

Everybody, Okay, in you.

So the secret of success is get to know him,

get to know him better.

Can I hear good? Amen?

Do not get to know the formula of how to overcome.

Don't you get to know the secrets of how to

break through? Know? Get to know him. He is a

secret EVERYBODY'SAI. Okay, he is the healer. Trust in him,

trust in God. That's why the Bible says, trust in

the Lord with all your heart. It dons it trusts

the Lord. Trust in the Lord. And in all other

scriptures that you will find the word in is there?

There are many more.

There are many more scriptures that you can you can

think of that has trust in. Not just trust the Lord,

but trust in with all your heart, all your heart,

trust in his character.

Trust in his unfailing love.

Because some of you are Your prayer will not be

answered in the next three days, maybe no answer in

the last three months, but he is still come on

good in all your ways. Acknowledge him and he shall

direct your path. Finally, trust is surrender. A lot of

us say we trust God, but Heaven surrendered. We must

learn to surrender. You can surrender without trusting, but you

can't trust without surrendering. How do you surrender without trusting?

Somebody just put a gun to your headler, put a

gun to your head. Of course you surrender it you

need to trust. You need to trust a guy who

put a gun on your head. Know it so to

surrender easy, No need trust me, but to trust you

need to surrender. And I find that too many people

haven't seen their breakthrough because they say, I trust you.

Those who are.

Taking care of my microphone I will finish in the

next two three minutes. Thank you so much, guys, Thank

you so much for helping me. I'm just kidding. I'm

just kidding. Okay, I'm not sure whether I'm really kidding,

but I'm just kidding.

Okay.

You can't surrender without trusting, but you can't trust without surrendering.

I want to lead you to surrender this morning because

we say, God, I trust you. But then we have,

you know, a whole book of context that we can

call you know.

Can you help me? Can you help me? Can you

help me? Can you help me?

I remember last time, you know, and I was. I

started in ministry. I knew nobody, I knew nobody, and

I trusting Jesus was so easy because all I had

was him. And then when I went on years of ministry,

you know, I knew this Dato, I knew this Dato.

Three I knew this done three I knew I knew

people in money who told me, Kenneth, if you ever

have problem, just call us. And I have been recipient

of thousands and thousands and thousands of ringedd to be

able to do this ministry. But then the Law said

to me one day, Kenneth, would you surrender all to me?

And I remember surrendering all to the Lord. It was painful, painful,

but true trust is when you surrender, said God, I

don't want to be in control. Maybe the musician can

start coming up, maybe the keybodies can start playing. I

want a minister right now, and I know it's eleven fourteen.

We started at nine thirty and we were close in

the next five minutes.

I just want a minister to you right now.

Because there are people in this room that has to

learn how to surrender, because surrendering is the hardest thing,

especially when you are in control, when you you know,

have the power to be in control, when you have

the names you can call on your phone that that

thought and then boundstreet that you can call the people

who have promised you that they will do this and

do that for you. But you know, I want you

to learn twenty twenty six. The Bible says, you will

keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on

you because he trusts in you, because he trusted you.

Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.

Oh the Rimocras say to her, thank you for your

presence in this place.

Thank you the Lord Lord, your promise. They are yes

and amen.

And I know that God, you want to give everyone

here in this room, not just shalom, but shalom shalom.

There are people here in this.

Room who might not have the strength to be able

to continue doing what they're doing for the rest of

the year.

Some are thinking of giving up.

Some are thinking of retiring before their years are done.

Some are thinking of just stopping.

You know, just it's just too hard, too heavy.

Now. What you really need is not to give up.

What you really need is another another level of peace,

a deeper level of peace, a peace that can only

come from God who's perfect. So I just want to

minister to you right now, perfect peace. God will keep you.

Why is he keeping you because you're precious, because you're valuable,

Because he doesn't want to lose you to the world.

He doesn't want the devil to come and steal, kill

and destroy. So you keep something so that you will

not be stolen. God keeps you so that you will

not be stolen. God keeps you because you're precious. But

the condition is your mind must be stayed on him.

You say, God, I've got so much trouble, so much

illness in my body.

It's hard for me to think about you.

Well, make a choice today, because thinking about God is

a choice.

It's not a feeling. Thinking about God is not a feeling.

It's a choice.

Say Lord, I will turn all my worries into thinking

about you. I would turn all my anxiety into thinking

about you. I would turn all my pain into calling

upon your name. When I feel pain, I would just

say Jesus. When I feel down, I say Lord, help me.

And I'm feeling, you know, just uncomfortable. I said, God,

I know that you're there, and I trust you. I

trust in you.

Because you are. You're the God of love.

You're the God of mercy, and your mercies are you

every morning. You're the God whose grace is more than

sufficient for me. I trust in you for the seal

vision of my family, for the self, vision of my love.

Was I trust in you for my healing. I trust

in you. You will never leave me nor forsake me.

You're a good God. Is there anyone who wants the peace,

the shalom shalom of God.

You need it.

You need it for your decisions. Some of you are

making wrong decisions because there's no peace. Shalom shalom. The

peace of God will God your heart and mind through

Christ Jesus. And when the peace of God Gods, you

know what will happen. You will make good decisions. You

know why, because you will only be fed with good thoughts,

good decisions. Because you're fed with good thought. You will

make bad decisions because you're being fed with thoughts that

are not right, thoughts of fear, and so you make

decisions out of fear instead of out of faith. That's

how it happens. But with the peace of God, God's

your heart and mind. It will stop thoughts that don't

belong from coming into your system, and it will allow

thoughts that come from God.

And you know what happens.

You will meditate on the word of God and you

will do what it's right. You will have wisdom, you

will make good decisions. Yeah, that's right. That's how it works.
