Where's your Confidence | Pr Kenneth

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

We hope this message will light up your tea.

Where's your Confidence is the subtitle, and of course our

bigger title for the year is Disciple First. Now we've

moved on to the next slide, and this slide is

a slide that I use many many years ago when

the Lord taught me about leading leaders and getting the

job done and getting church planted, et cetera, et cetera.

Confidence is really important. But before confidence can come, you

and I need clarity. And of course with confidence will

come courage. So listen just for the next two minutes,

because I don't want to spend much time on this.

This is very important. Things get done because people are courageous.

Without courage, things don't get done. It's as simple as that.

But before courage can even appear, you and I need

confidence because without confidence you will never step out onto

the water out of the boat. But before confidence can come,

clarity is very very key. That's why as a boss

or as a manager, you don't and you won't get

things done well. Your staff will come back to you

and say that they tried, but they couldn't. And most

of the time if we look at it carefully, we

will find that it is because we didn't give clear instructions.

That's why we often go into YouTube.

My wife just went into YouTube just a couple of

days ago because we had an m Way filter water

filter that we don't use anymore.

We no longer use it because we have a new

water purifier.

It's LG, all right, Not that I'm a salesperson for LG,

but it's a really really good machine. We just got

it up last Sunday. Is under the sink and at

the top. It's a very sleek output and we can

press buttons, buttons on it, you know, hot water, and

so now we can make my low without even boiling water.

You know.

So so we do that, and there's ambient water. There

is also mbient meaning lukewarm or room temperature, and of

course cold, you know. So we never need to go

to fridge anymore. No, the last five days I didn't

need to go to fridge because cold water. And even

though I didn't need to drink, I just like to

play with this new thing, and so, you know, I

just kept pressing and but it's good because you need

to drink more water, right, everybody here. Don't just pray

for healing. Sometimes all you need to do is just

drink more water and you will be healed, all right.

So she she needed to take this new filter on

this old filter out of the old water filter. And

she didn't know how to do it because she forgot.

We only changed the filter once every six months, and

in six months you can forget, you know. And so

she called me in. She said, dear, could you come

and help me? I said, oh, this woman. No, I

didn't say it. I didn't say that. I said, wow,

you know, tieth aniversary coming. It's the least I could

do for her. It's the least I could do for her.

So I wear and I try. I use all my muscles. Uh,

my muscles aren't really as strong as they were four

months ago, because you know, I haven't been moving. So

there's a muscle atrophy, muscle weakness. And anyway, Uh, there's

my left leg. I can still use my hand and

so and my right hand is strong because you know,

I've been supporting my body with my right hand. And

I tried, you know, and I said, I call upon

you know the strength of Samson. And no, I didn't

say that. And I tried, you know, but really it

couldn't come out. So then my wife started to blame myself.

You know, I think I put it the wrong way.

You know, in my mind I was like, of course

you did, but the but the but of course you

know their tieth anyversy coming up, you know, No, of

course you didn't. Don't blame yourself. And so she went,

uh to the experts YouTube, because YouTube, you know, is

very clear. They will give you step by step and

videos on all right, and different languages. Right, so found

the Mandarin one, couldn't understand a single word, and then

got into the German one, and then finally we got

the South African speaking English. Yeah, and and and and

it was easy, all right. We we we saw oh

that My wife was saying, you're so easy, so easy,

so easy, because it's clear.

And if life is clear, we will be confident to

do it.

And why we are not confident because we are not

clear in the first place.

Is this the way to do it? Is this the

right way? Should I do?

How? Long? When? How? Where? Right?

But when people are.

Clear, they move with confidence, and when they move with confidence,

they will move with courage. Okay, So the tree seas

are really important in God's economy and in God's plan

for your life and for my life.

Confidence is what I want to dwell on today.

The next flight says confidence is powerful, meaning to say

that there is nothing you cannot do on this earth

as long as you have confidence. And when you don't

have confidvidence, you will not be able to achieve it.

But if you're confident, you can preach. If you're confident,

you can pray, if you're confident you will go on

missions even though you don't speak the language. You know,

many Koreans come to Malaysia and around the world. They

don't speak the language, but for some reason they are

very confident. And you know why. It's because they've seen

other Koreans go and they really know Chup Chay you know,

come Samida.

You know, and uh, you know and all this right.

They don't speak the language, they just come because confidence.

When we went to plant a church in London, I

was just asking God, God, you know how small or

ring it is. And there's a reason why they call

it pounds because it's really heavy. Uh and and and

yet God gave me finally the confidence or my as

my friend says, my friend says, it's very confidently. He says, condifference, condfiference,

He says faster. You must have condiference. I say, yeah,

you say very confidently, and and it just sounds right,

you know, after what I thought I was wrong. Condifference Okay, No,

it's not. Difference is confidence, confidence, and it's powerful, powerful,

you know. Uh. I see a lot of people getting

a nervous nurse and and and and uh what.

They call it? Uh uh uh what what feed they

call it? Uh?

Cold feet, just because they're about to get married, you know, uh,

and they're going to give their life away to this person.

You know that they just only got to know, you

know for the last three months and and and everything

was you know, good, and the planning was great, and

then they get cold feet, nervous, right, yeah, Because as

pause Sandra said, marriage is for the brave hearted. You

must have confiference. Confidence. Yeah, it's powderful, it's powerful, I'm

telling you. And if you can have confidence, I tell

you what God can do wonderful things through your life.

Pray for the sick, go to the hospital, go from

bed to bed, witness to your friend, house to house, neighbor.

Listen.

If you have confidence, there's nothing you cannot do, or

at least one to try. So God, it's not done

with the earth. It's got many more things to do.

He wants to do it through us. But guess what,

that's also what the devil wants to rob Because if

the devil can rob us of our confidence, he's robbed

us of our dreams. So he will allow things to

happen to you. Right, make a mistake, and then you say,

I'll never do it. Remember I told you a story

of how I went to Send Mary's School. I was

only about nineteen going on twenty, and the teacher advisor said,

Kenneth Chin, I've heard of you, and we would like

to invite you to come and worship lead. Remember the story,

and I went. I practiced for two weeks. You know,

two weeks.

How many have you practiced for worship leading?

Two weeks? I practiced for two weeks. Now I had

my guitarists and he was four songs. Why because twenty

minutes I can do four songs, no problem. Okay. The

first song is Bless the Lord, Oh mass. If I

tell you it was a hot song of the day,

and all there is within me. Some of you are

looking at me like we've never heard of that new song. Yeah,

and then it's no, I flow with, Come bless the Lord,

Come bless the Lord, all ease servants of the Lord,

all your servants of the Lord, who stand by, and

I'm most gonna finish it. So I won't because I

don't have time.

Right then, I'm flowing through.

And this is the day, this is the day that

the Lord has made twenty minutes no problem. Okay to

my guitarists, okay, both of us, both of us guys, okay,

both of us guys. Uh. I thought that we will

we will do this so well because we felt when

we were nineteen that we were the most good looking

guys in in.

You know, our church.

You know. Now, of course truth has set me free.

But the thing is, I don't know why you're laughing,

but to love so loud? Lah Okay. So it was

all girls school, all girls school, and I remember, you know,

four hundred girls with there. Four hundred girls were there.

It was one of those religious week where you know,

the Muslims will go to their you know muslim do uh,

the Buddhists, you know, to their event, and then those

line that line line the rest. Okay, plus the Christians

will come and they they they a lot of them

like the Christian event because they're seeing all right, and

good looking guys and and and four hundred girls are

there all right, with forty of them Christian, forty of

them Christian three or raise sixty non Christian.

Okay, So I I I look at them and and

and the girls.

I tell you, sometimes you think the guys gangster, if

the girls gangster right the way they stand with the

blue beautiful, you know, lick can come to be not

you you.

I mean, I mean I was ready praying under my breath. Lord.

You know, if you've never been to the Lions, then

if you've never been to the Lions, then just go

to a girls school. Uh and and and and and

Saint Mary's Mary's, uh said Mary's and so uh uh

And we ride past the Kenneth's Chin and not pasta sorry,

and we writ Kenneth Chin to come up with his guitarist,

and they're gonna lead us in this song. Okay. Uh.

The Christians clab forty m they're no Christians, like, oh

my god, you know, like sure these guys are quite cute,

but uh, okay, so we started Dan Jan bless the Lord,

Oh my soul, boom boot three hundred and sixty girls boot. Okay,

I have never been into the experience before ever. I

mean even in church we don't like so we never

boo boo in silah all we pobosically don't list up

my hands or that we rebel. Okay, Holy Specie, all

your heart repent now yeah boo seconds of Okay, So

I like, what what what what new world? I just

went through two cents ourday that was so very long.

Because boo they came going boo boo.

I say, hey, wow, all the guy pride, may God God,

the most handsomest guy saddenly became the ugliest guy.

Suddenly look like Shrek was on.

The you know all right then, so I changed from

the only the only hand just I know my guitar

is change song after yes, fifteen seconds, Okay, come bless

the Lord, Come bless the boo boo.

Four songs. I finished in two minutes, two minutes.

Fastest worship leader in the world, I hold, I hold

the record. Okay.

At the day boom boom boom.

So I went home thinking to myself, wow, not only

they bowed me, I'm a bad worship leader. Uh. You know,

I thought I was good looking, but forget it, you know.

Uh and uh and then I said, I will never.

Have you ever been there before? I will never?

And then the call came one year later, Kenneth, thank

you for leading worship last year, same teacher you know

on the rebuke.

Here on the spot.

But yes, Hi, but she's a past's wife, so yeah, yeah, yes,

can you come and share your testimony? I remember I

say it never.

Yeah.

The devil wants to rob you of your confidence. I'm

telling you right now that many times you look back

at your your mistakes, you know, Sodi man, Sodi Man,

singing again, sing again, and then you get it right.

You got to have the courage. Did you know I

made a mistake. I'll do it again. I'll do it again.

I preach wrongly, so sorry, I didn't mean to, but

I'll do it again. I sang, you know, and got bored. Right,

Because the thing is, if I never went for the

second engagement, which is to share my testimony, I would

have not seen forty girls give their lives to Jesus.

Forty girls give their lives to Jesus out of fifteen

minute testimony. Actually it was a message. I just shared

the testimony. They asked me for a message. I shared.

It was the shortest message ever. Maybe some of you

missed that and go like pasta, can you go back

to the day where you spoke for fifteen minutes only?

And all right?

Okay, those days are gone. Do it again, Lord, do

it again. Confidence is powerful. Next slide, Let's look at subscripture.

In the fear of the Lord. There is strong confidence. Wow,

not just confidence, strong confidence. When you fear God, you

know what fear of God is. I give you the

summary of this fear of God as I've studied all

these years, because a lot of people will tell you

what the fear of God is, and I think they're

all right, But this one has helped me with the understanding.

The fear of God is just this. I just want

to do what is right in God's side. I want

to hear what God has to say. I want to

ask God, what do you think about this? That to

me is the summary of the fear of God. When

you have the fear of God, you say, God, what

do you think? When you don't have the fear of God,

you will say, Oh, the people say. The people thought

my parents said, okay, all lovely or fine, But when

you have a fear, you say whatever they have said,

whatever wisdom that the world has given me, and even

my parents may have given me wonderful advice. But I

want God to hear what you have to say. Bottom line,

that's called the fear of God. And if you fear

God like that, God, I want to know what you

have to say. You will have confidence because God will

give to people who want to hear, who give a

care I didn't use the bad word, who give a

care what he has to think about. Then God will

give you confidence. And when you have confidence and you

try to do what he's telling he tells you to do,

you will always have a place of refuge. That's what

the scripture means. Because people are always care. Right if I

do how if I die? How if I lose money? How?

If you're right?

But in the Lord, if you do it in his

fear and in his confidence.

You and I will always be safe.

That's what will have a place of refuge mean, you

will never be outside of safety when you do it

in God's confidence.

Praise the Lord. Next slide, being confident of this very thing.

I love this verse, that he who has begun a

good work in you will complete it until the day

of Jesus Christ. Meaning if you want to see the

complete work of God in your life and in my life,

we must be confident.

You know why a lot of people miss it.

They miss the work of the Lord in completion because

somewhere along the line they became not confident because the

devil was able to come and disturb them and more importantly,

deceive them. Because the devil is a deceiver. He's a

liar and the father of lies. Amen, So why is

he lying to you. He's lying to you that you

can't You know, you're ugly, You won't amount to anything.

Look at your past, you think, Just look at your

past you think you have a future. Look at your mistakes.

Cause you to focus on your mistakes and on your sin,

and on your weakness. But I said to the eight

am that God can turn our mistakes into miracles if

you believe it. So completion happens when there is confidence.

So don't let the devil rob you, because then you

will not be complete. But God will do this, and

it takes confidence. Is the first word in that line. Confident, confident,

being confident. All right, let's move on. Let's talk about

discipleship for a few minutes. Discipleship, or the power or

the effectiveness of discipleship is not found in competition, whereby

you say, just because I pray more, God loves you more,

just because I fast, You know, God loves you more,

and many Christians without realizing, we actually do this, and

we must be very careful. It's not because like this

morning when Passandra told me that she has to be

here at seven am because the worship team has to

be here. I try to spend time with the Lord

in my quiet time at least two hours a day.

This has happened since my injury because you know, I

didn't have very much to do before that. Maybe the

longest quiet time I had was about one to one

and a half hours. Sometimes, you know, it might touch

two hours, but it was rare. From April to yesterday,

two hours has been the minimum in the presence of God. Now,

but let me tell you this, Between you who do

two minutes and me, who do two hours, I'm not

pointing anyone now.

God loves us the same. So why then do we

do more?

Is because we realize we are conscious that he gave

us more. And the Bible says in first John, we

love him because he first loved us. So the response

of one hour, two hours, or five hours is because

you begin to be more conscious of what he's done

for you, and then you want to begin to serve him.

It's not just because you serve him more that you

get more. No, you understand that it is very very important.

It's not a come addition between us. It's not a

competition between judges. It's not a competition between you and yourself.

It's not even. So don't try to challenge yourself and say, God,

I know you will love me more if I do

more for you. Know it does not happen that way. Everybody, clear,

very clear. Do not compete, not even with yourself. Surrender

and say, Lord, I thank you for all that you

have done. And so I tell you, when I learned

this from the Lord, my prayer life to begin to

be began to be more powerful. I saw more results

because before I pray for a person, I will just

have some consciousness. First, Lord, before I pray for this person,

I'm not talking to the person. I'm not even saying

a loud in my own consciousness, I'm saying God, it

is going to be by your power in your name,

that I get very conscious of what Christ has done.

And then I lay hands and then I speak the

words that you know really matter. Otherwise sometimes I'm kind

of like no, I'm like, I'm like warming up. When

I'm praying, I'm trying to you know, find out you know,

what works, you know, and then I try to remember formulas,

try to remember the last prayer conference that went to

what did the past this area? There are about seven ms,

seven ms, you know six c's five. You won't remember that,

you know, when it comes the time to pray for people,

you just have to remember what you need to remember

the consciousness of what Christ has done for us. So

today really, yeah, you can put on the next slide

XTV because I've actually done the next slide. Competition is

based on what you do. Consciousness is based on what

He's done. Now let's look at the next slide says

all of Christianity is found in one name. All of

Christianity is found in one name. Now, let me just

give you a background of this message. I was invited

to speak in a city sea called Bintulu about two

months ago, end of June was the exact time frame.

And I was still in my crutches, and I was

preparing for the message in Bahasa Malaysia. For those of

you who are watching this internationally, because this message will

go to Africa, it will go to Japan. That's why

they recorded when I speak. So Bintulu is a city,

and look at the camera now and the city in

Sarawa which is East Malaysia, okay, just for your information.

And I had to prepare. And when I was preparing

for this message, it was so simple, so basic, that

I felt a little bit nervous, and I said, Lord,

because there was going to be expected. The crowd was

going to be about a thousand, five hundred to about

two thousand people, and sure enough, for two nights altogether.

It was there three nights for two nights there. It

was a conference also, so in the daytime one thousand

and five and then the last day on Sunday, they

all packed the place.

It was about two.

Thousand, one hundred, two thousand, two hundred, so a lot

of people. And I felt really really responsible to bring

the right word at the right time. And the Lord

said to me, Kenneth, I often choose the simple things

to put the shame in all the wise and the weak,

to put the shame the strong. So Kenneth, I want

you to go and go bring the basic because this

is what the church needs.

And glory to God.

Towards the end of the conference, they all came up,

the leaders came up to me and said, this is

what we needed to hear. So you know, you just

obeyed a lot like even though you look silly. And

so maybe even before you right now this morning, I

might look silly by giving you a sentence on this

screen like this that all of Christianity is found in

one name, Jesus. But I'm going to bring you through

some thoughts. I'm going to give you some food for

thought that might make you think again that maybe it's

not always about Jesus for us. So I want to

remind us all everything is back to one name. It's

not a principle that God is after is a person,

and we need to follow a person, not just a principle.

Follow a person, not just a doctrine. Follow a person,

not just a religion. Follow a person, not just you know,

some methods. A man, not a method Okay, so let's

look now at First Corinthians two.

One to five. This is one of my favorite portions

of scripture.

And if I ever go before my wife and you

have to build a tombstone for me, uh, and you

you think to yourself, what scripture will pastor like on

his tombstone? Maybe this could help guide you. Really, really,

this has become like my mantra in my ministry life especially,

and I brethren, this is written by Paul the Apostle.

We all love him, we all read his epistles. Epistle

is not the Apostle's wife is his letters, and we

love his letters, we live by them.

And so this is what Paul the Apostle wrote.

When I came to you, I did not come with

excellence of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the

testimony of God, for I determine not to know anything

among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I underlined

that I was with you in weakness, or I should

have underlined that in fear, and he much trembling. All

that tree needs to be underlined and bolded. And my

speech and my preaching were not of persuasive words of

human wisdom. Maybe that should be underlined as well, but

in demonstration of the spirit of power, that your faith

should not be in the wisdom of men, but in

the power of God, Ladies and gentlemen, brothers. This says,

I want to dwell on this for a few minutes.

Maybe it might be the longest scripture I dwell on

this afternoon. Let's begin, most of us not only as

human beings, but as Christians, maybe longtime Christians. If we

are honest, we like good preaching. If we are honest,

we like good preachers. What defines a good preacher One

that doesn't stutter, Maybe one that doesn't go.

I one that.

Has perfect King's English white Kings English. Because the Queen

is dead now it's King Charles, so it's King's English.

Now for years we use the Queen's English.

You want it to be eloquent, don't you excellent?

We love it. In fact, if we're honest, we go like, wow,

I haven't heard a single mistake in his grammar. I

love it. Some of us really love to hear the

British preach, you know, because you know, do you know

what I mean? It's just really really good, you know.

And so anyway, so see I can't even even do it.

But you know it's just just really good listening to

Nicky Gumble preach.

No really really so we like it.

We like good preaching that Okay, there has no loward. Okay, yeah,

we like it.

We do, we do, we do.

But here is one of the greatest apostles who said

I had no excellence.

Of speech.

And wisdom. Not only that, I came in weakness, in fear,

and he much trembling.

Paul, I thought you told us not to fear.

Imagine a speaker coming into this place now and he's bald,

nothing wrong with that, and he's small, short, and he's trembling,

and he's fumbling, and he's not so eloquent, and there's

no persuasive words of human wisdom. I think you might immediately,

like some of you could be already doing, go to

your handphone and your TikTok could be on already. And

if I'm speaking to you right now, by the spirit,

just repaent wherever you are, because although I can't see you,

Jesus can. Yeah. I saw some people putting down their

phones already. All right, Yeah, you know church must have

three things. Three things. One is celebration. All of us

must come to celebrate. Two we must be challenged, and

then three there must be changed, right, treacies, they must

be changed. So if you're putting down your handphone, praise godard,

if you were taking down your taking notes saying okay,

forgive me for judging.

You're not judging, you have judging?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, amen are scrolling Yeah we're scrollss

So yeah, it's very easy to get you off your attention,

your attention, your attention spen. They see the attention span

of young people are is very bad. Actually adults, adults. Okay,

so listen, I'm gonna ask you a question. Now, where

is our confidence? If a speaker wasn't eloquent, it's very

easy to turn away. Let's not invite him back. Let's

not let's not invite apostle Paul back? Whoa yeah, do

you think you do that? Let's let's just be honest.

Let's food for thought, but be honest for a moment. Okay,

this is not a condemnation hour. There is a conviction hour.

And I want you to think. Think.

I'm going to give you a few more.

People have left church and changed church because of many

other reasons, accept Jesus.

I think some of you have asked the question to

your friend before. Actually why you change it?

Ah? Yeah? The pastor a very chrong hayman. Okay, very

chong hey. Okay, his name is Kenneth at the front

and Chong for sea casey. Hey, she is Kenneth Chung Hey.

You know I don't okay. I left. I left because

he didn't he didn't use enough scripture. Oh so sorry

for those of you who needed interpretation, I didn't realize. Yeah,

chung hay just means long winded, long winded ky In German,

it means long winded. You've left because the worship team

doesn't play new songs. He left because the air corn

is not cold enough and every time I sit there,

I'm sweating. He left because the ushers don't shake my

hand with enough genuine passion. You left because the sound

system is really, really quite bad, and I struggle to hear.

You left because they are hospitality food. It's not up

to pan.

They're serving, you know, just dry biscuits. You left because

the pastor didn't understand me. You left because there is

no community. You left because and and and you've asked

ten questions, and you've not heard that person say because

Jesus wasn't there, so we've left and changed, Or you

change to another church and say because the worship is great,

not Jesus great, because their singer is really, because they

are serious about their music skill, because the pastor preachers well,

because he's good looking, because because because their children's program

is greater.

Did you hear that?

Not one word because Jesus is there, or not one

word is because Jesus is missing from this church.

Now listen very carefully.

When you go out from a church or go into

a church for any other reason than Jesus, that means

you have just proven that your confidence is there. I know,

very quiet anybody right now, but I'm giving you food

for thought. Think about it. Whereas your confidence, your confidence

is in the very thing you're selling. In fact, sometimes

where we want to witness to friends, we don't even need,

we don't even know where to start. But some people

will say, come to my church because my church is

really happening. I want to tell you right now, your church,

including ex church, did not die for you. The worship

being did not die for you. The pastor did not

die for you. The new songs did not die for you,

the hospitality food did not die for you. All these

That's why Paul said, I determined not to know anything

among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I needed

to bring this message across because I'm telling you, wherever

I travel right now, whichever church I go to right now,

Jesus is like, you know, his heart is bleeding for

what it is that people are really focusing on, you know,

and in fact that now I'm seeing more and more

preachers need to look good. I think I'm thinking, like,

oh god, you know, I don't know. I don't know

where I'm going to hit the gym because of my

left leg. Even if my left leg was injured, I

would not go to the I don't know. And I just, yeah,

I work out. I work out using my right hand

goes like this, you know. Yeah. I do a lot

of bicep curls. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's really helps, you know,

because I get.

To do like this or so my fingers get their exercise.

And no, no, no, I don't hate Jim, but I'm

just I'm just thinking, you know, more and more pastors

need to look like that. Where by the biceps are

bouging up of their of the you know there the sleeves,

and I'm thinking.

Myself after a while, is that the look?

Is that what we go for? And then the shoes

are changing. More shoes are not white because white is in.

I'm the kind of pastor. The more you wear white,

the world more I wear black because I just want

to remind myself. But it's not about the white shoe.

And then and then depends I must go higher, and no,

you leave some spot, and then the socks are cannot

be high. One, Hello, my socks are very high today.

I'm telling you.

I am anti, I said, I'm telling you right now.

I tell you because because I want to keep my

eyes on Jesus. People wear tight shirt, Lucky Beggy, seriously purposely.

I'm doing it purposely. Why you, Lucky, you tell me

to follow I will follow Christ and Him alone. You understand,

one priss say you know, but I'm looking at I

search all the best preachers and the best best meaning

the most famous one, and the best churches that happening all.

Look the same.

That's why people who come up and tell me I

am an individual person. I make individual choices. But you

look the same like anybody else where, white shoe and

tell you tell me you are individual?

Thinker?

Now you see your whole generation is way white you.

How are you individual? Look at me? I'm individual?

Are you so so? Silence early because you think I'm

talking about somebody I'm not.

I just find that when I'm going through it's like

so easy to find people that look the same. I

think how you idea is sitting down here saying are

your pasta? Please carry on because you won't be able

to finish the message. But can you see how passion

I am about? Listen?

Where is Jesus? And where is your confidence?

And why you aren't to be talking more about him

then talking about styles and the look you understand everybody?

Okay, all right?

All that is just to keep you awake because this afternoon, okay,

very important. I don't mind losing everything at one timer

the church. This church was one thousand, five hundred people

in one place. Do you know when the camera panza

is lovely? You know because when you pan a camera

across big or the some, it makes it really cool,

really nice feeling. Now and then I'm the pastor, I

was the only preacher no at one time for ex

church and every Sunday I'm am wow. The camera pans

you know, immediately panz are you don't even have to

say it. I am a successful pastor because I'm speaking

for a one thousand, five hundred people. So it makes

you feel but it doesn't make God feel great. It

makes your flesh feel great. And then God says, no more,

I want you now sitting in front of.

Eighty people. Fine, it's fine. It's fine, you know, because

it's not about me. It's about price.

And the Lord loves to break golden calves down on

because we keep building golden calfs. Right. Even aired himself.

He's a priest, you know, and they could influence him

to bill and you know, he lied. He said, oh,

I just threw something in the pool, comes out, don't lie.

God was so angry. Moses was angry. He was so

angry he broke his tablets. He was supposed to take it,

he broke it. I'm just kidding.

Sorry.

The afternoon, I just trying to keep you guys away, okay,

And God give him tw more tablets.

Because he had a headache.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.

Let's move on.

Let's move on. A Okay, everybody, okay, next slide? Where

is our confidence really? All right? Today? XTV is a

little bit faster than me. Uh yeah, I think it's

xtiv's way of saying, come on, gearld, gear on with it.

You messed up when you're right, first survice, come on okay,

rub and okay. And you see one Indian man standing up,

so I suddenly my Indian language came out. Okay, but

Chukria all right? Where is where is our confidence really?

Okay?

Next ride?

Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth,

and the life.

Jesus said, I am.

So follow me.

Stop following trends, styles, stop following happening churches, stop following

you know, YouTube, stop following. You know some people will

go to four Services or the Sunday on YouTube because

you know, my favorite pictures. And okay, if you're doing that,

I would to say repent. But you know, if you're

if you're learning something, then great, la.

But this is the thing.

You know a lot of people go through so many

because they want to tickle their years. Because I tell

you what, this is something I need to warn you.

If you listen to the message and you don't live it,

you are going to be held accountable for what you heard.

So that's why I tell people that don't go from

church to church and don't go for one YouTube to

now YouTube, because what you just heard a revelation was

not meant for you.

Maybe you know it was meant for the congregation that

that pastor was speaking to.

And God knows if you put twenty people there and

prepare the pastors had to speak, it is the twenty

people within that congregation who needed to hear, and when

they hear, they live out. But when you hear everybody,

you know that revelation was not for you. And then

you go, wow, so good, so good, but you never

used it. And God is one day going to say

what happened? And then you're going to say, I buried

it in the ground. So you're going to be as

bad as the guy who got a talent and put

it in the ground. Why because you just love to

hear good messages. But he's not after just giving you

bombarding you good messages. He's say I will give you

A live A B live B. I'm not going to

give you ABC, and then you already take B A.

Then what are you gonna do with BC? You gotta

account to God. God. I heard it, but I did nothing.

So please be careful what you hear. If you are

in this congregation, God will give me the message for

the sheep here, right time, right place. Now. Not to

say that you cannot go in, go in, but make

sure you do this. Take and say, God, You've given

me this wonderful revelation. I'm going to live it out

because if you don't, then please don't go surfing and

don't go scrolling everybody.

Okay, there was not in my message. But what I'm

saying is that don't follow.

All these things are follow one person, Jesus, Amen, next life.

The devil is not afraid of any other name but

the name of Jesus. You must remember this. He's not

afraid of your latest songs. He's not afraid of your

church affiliation. When the devil comes to you and say, ah,

you say I'm from Exa, you know I'm I'm friends

like this like this so close. I'm looking at the

camera now, I'm friends like this close. Buddies with the pope. Okay,

not the last, but this one, the newest pope. Okay, listen,

he was he was, He was ordained he was chosen,

he was appointed by white smoke. Okay, can anyone if

you get white swom? Was he white smoke? Yeah, white wom,

white woman. You don't you don't follow the television news

right now? Oh, Albert, that's like this one. Okay, Albert,

is that your husband, you're the assistant coordinator you know

of ex got the communing and your husband's to keep us.

That is not wholly smoke.

Okay, okay, anyway, you were chosen by you know, divine appointment.

You know, Pope is supposed to be a representative of Christ. Okay,

in the Catholic Church when we were part of the

Cantic Chuchs, we can't even bite the communion. No, now

you're you know once I'm a pleaser, you know, like

like eating katang, you know, but those days you're not

supposed to bite the communion because the blood will come out. Yeah,

catlic Church, don't bite because he's a body of Christ.

Don't mess around. Don't mess around. And some people tell

you story I beat, Oh I repent because blood came

flowing never stopping. Huh wow, of that don't even have

to drink drink the wine are not enough, you know,

because you won't won't be able to wash your mouth

away from all the blood. The devil is not afraid

of any other name but the name of Jesus. Don't

try to throw the pope's name or your pastor's name.

Don't you know that my pastor is Kenneth Chin. He laughed,

He laughed. You know. The devil through his agents once

said in the Bible, Jesus, I know, Paul, I know,

But who are you?

Who are you?

Do you know? You shouldn't be afraid of that because

it's a question.

It's a question. Who are you is a question? Answer Lah,

Answer I am a child of the living God.

Jesus is my savior.

You know, answer Rah. But your scared because the devil.

Said who are you? And then the fullest could answer.

They couldn't answer. You know, Malay, answer goose. I remember

last time I was in school now the English English class.

But this teacher didn't know, didn't speak so well. So

I said, cares, stand up? Stand up? Why you? Why you?

Why you know? Don't come on? Why you don't pturn

the page? I tell you? Turn the page?

You're the wrong page? You know, answer me, answer me?

Answer me?

Answer means goose. You know, goose, answer me, I said,

I know, answer I might you know as a teacher,

I'm not a goose. I'm a man. Another time he

told my friend this. We were all naughty boys are

in school. He told my friend next to me, He said,

what do you say? Oh? My friend said to say,

you know, okay, the devil is not afraid of any

other name but the name of Jesus. That's why a

child can also cast out the devil. Because all I

need to know is Jesus. I don't know anything else.

I told her. Sorry, very quickly.

I'll tell you because it's a very powerful story. A

man who hung on the cross died and went to heaven,

and the angel saw him at the pearly gates and said, welcome.

Give me one reason why I should let you enter heaven,

and the men begin to start. I let me help you,

said the angel. Can you give me the principles of justification?

And the man said, just one, Yeah, justification, I've never

heard of that. You've never heard of justification. Let me

give you another one. Hopefully you can answer this well,

give me your thoughts about sanctification. And again the man said,

how do you spell that, and then the angel said,

you don't know what sanctification is, all right, right, all right,

at least tell.

Me your church attendance. Okay, let's talk.

About faithfulness, because you will hear the Lord saying, well done,

my good and faithful servant. So I just want to

check whether you've been faithful. I haven't been to church.

At least tell me you've been baptized.

What's that?

And then he said, okay, you seem trouble. And so

the angel turned around and called Michael, the angel Mike.

This guy, I don't know how he got up here,

all right, but he doesn't no signification, justification, never been

to church. Then, okay, let me deal with this inje

goes Society. Angel Michael now says, why do you think

you can enter heaven? And the man said.

Quickly that you know, uh is that Michael?

Yeah, Mike, I just want to let you know that

I was actually hanging on a cross and there were

three of us, and there was one guy on the

left and one guy on the right, and then there

was this guy, this dude that was just so cool

and I'm not talking about his hair, and he was

right in the center. They called him Jesus and g

Jesus is always in the center. And I started like

my other friend, ridiculing him because everybody was bringing him down.

But every time I turned towards him, I could see

love in his eyes. I even heard him say, Father,

forgive them, for they don't know what they do. How

could you forgive a people that crucify you? So I

thought to myself, I changed my mind. Angel. I thought

this must be more than a man. And so I

scolded the other thief. I said, do you not fear God?

Seeing that we are under the same condemnation?

And I tried my luck.

I turned to this man the center and I said, Lord,

remember me when when you enter you know heaven. And

this man turned to me and said, surely, I say

to you today you will be with me in Paradise,

our angel, Michael. That's all I have. The man in

the center said I could come, and Mike said, welcome.

That's all I needed to hear. Jesus the Way, the Truth,

the Life. But why do human beings still live in

a way whereby He's not good enough? I can give

you one reason, because many of us were not Christians

when we were born. We were maybe for a Buddhist

background and another religion. And it's not to say they're bad.

In fact, when you look at it, it looks good

that they want to work for their salvation. They want

to do good works, so they put all the wonderful

sacrifice on the altar, they go to the temple, they

cut themselves, They do anything and everything thing that.

Tries to work themselves to salvation.

I went to Philippines many many years ago as a missionary,

knocked on the door of one of the houses. They

allowed me in. I started to preach the Gospel to them,

and the man, being a Catholic, said, I'm okay, because

we Catholics believe in purgatory. Purgatory just means that there

are various levels in hell, and uh well, some people

call it hell, some people can just call it below.

And I can work. And if people are praying for me,

and that's why a lot of family members pray, they

say Hail Mary full of great you know, they say

the Hail Mary, and and they go. And the more

they do this, the more they are praying for the dead,

and they will get the rise. That's one way of

doing it, I said, my dear brother, because I know

that he knows Jesus. I said, if you believed in

purgatory that you can work yourself up, Jesus never had

to die. But we always think that Jesus is too

simp a message to free. Huh, sure not free. So

we can't take that. Our system, our human system, in

our brain cannot comprehend that. Surely. I think that was

a problem with the servants who were all the master

much money. The Master forgave him much, but he.

Couldn't believe it.

I really believe that was the servant's problem, and that's

why he went out. He looked for a servant who

owed him a little bit and say pay me back.

And that servant told this servant, have mercy on me,

and I'll pay you back, the same words that he

used to the Master. Have mercy on me, and I'll

pay you back. Some of us really don't understand how

much we have been forgiven, and so until today we

still try.

Our hardness to find back money to pay him back.

And what seemed to be innocent actually was evil if

we don't believe for his full one hundred grace, which

is remember I told you this before, and I'll tell

you again, salvation is only by grace, only by faith

only in Christ, by faith, by grace only Christ. Okay,

this is the Gospel versays, you cannot come to God

any other way. Your money will not save you, your

good works will not save you. Right, but we have

been bombarded by so many religions before that we think

in our mind. Somewhere at the back of my mind

is that I have to do it. And only if

I serve God more, gift to God more, will I

be accepted. So let me just tell you this. The

devil is not afraid of any other name but the

name of Jesus. Can I hear a good amen? So

in my four months of recovery, the Lord has spoken

to me many times. I think I got about fifty

mini messages over five months now, and one of it

is seen in the next slide. Uh. You know, Uh,

One day early in my recovery, not only was my

left foot immobile, my right leg was totally used up

so much show that my knee, my right knee was swollen.

I found myself on the ground, unable to pick myself up.

My wife hurt me. You know, I don't know where

I was screaming. I wasn't. I was just saying, ah,

I don't know, something like that. And then she came up,

saw me on the ground, try to pick me up.

I said, don't need to send I don't want you

to hurt yourself anyway. I think I told you the story,

so I'll do very quickly. It was there that the

devil whispered to me. And I tell you this, any

of you will get the devil whispering to you. All

kinds of things are especially when you're down. When you're up,

he doesn't bother. That's why in America they did a

survey that pastors shouldn't take their day off on Monday.

But we do and I do because we're very aware

what Monday could mean, what Monday met, what Monday meant.

For this survey that was done, this research that was

done in America is that a pastor usually feels cloud

nine on Sunday because we preach well, we sang well,

we prayed well, and people who come up to us

and say, great message, pasta change my life, blah blah blah.

So we are on cloud nine and the devil doesn't

touches on Sunday one. The pastors up, but the same

pastor who's up on Monday now feels he can do anything.

He can watch anything, he can go into anything, to

any YouTube, you know. Because I'm so up, the app

will keep me from falling. Do not even depend on

the spiritual high you get on Sunday. Don't depend on that. Also,

your dependency and my dependency must always be on Jesus.

So the reason why many passes fell is because they

shouldn't have watched what they watched on Monday. They should

have heard what they heard on Monday. They should have

gone to places day because they thought they had a shield.

They thought they were Superman, or in Indonesia's Superman, you know,

but superman. They thought they thought I have a shield.

But the shield is not Jesus. The shield is a

good feeling. So the devil is very smart. He's done

this for years. I'm not the first pastor. There's been

thousands and thousands and thousands of pastors, and many of

them have fallen because the devil isn't afraid of anything else.

He's not afraid of any shield, but the shield of Christ.

You always see with me. So the devil whispered to

my ear and said, you are so faithful to God.

He still allows you to be injured. Wonderful God, yourself

are in just whispering. You know, faithful God, you have

a faithful godder Ah, your faithful God can't even stop

you from getting a you know, a broken heel. I

tell you, I started crying because somewhere in his whispers

feels like there's some truth. And it is the truth

that makes you cry because you don't want to believe

it's true. But praise God. The Lord began to speak

to me. He took over the devil's place, and he says,

I think you know. I can imagine God saying, get out, devil.

Oh no, let me speak to my son. And God says, Kenneth,

even though you're injured, do you still love me? I said, yes, yes, Lord,

I love you. And then God said to me, Kenneth,

even though you're injured, I still love you, and I

will never change my love for you. Now the enemy

will whisper.

And so this new sop that.

Came my way was like this. God said, the next time, Kenneth,

when the devil comes and whisper to you, tell him

he's not supposed to do that. He's like a company that, Rachel,

you are the head of your company. You have sps

in your company or no, And sometimes people who come

in strangers are coming there. You don't allow strangers to

just come into your company and speak to your staff

sell things to them. No, if they want a speaker,

they will speak with a manager or whoever you assigned,

or to you, because you know so from today onwards.

Are the Devil's not my boss? Jesus is?

And Jesus say, is that the next time the devil

comes in whispers to you, are you send him to

me and I tell you what it's work. No, the

l last the last five months. No, when the devil

whispers are hey, you think you I said, devil, talk

to Jesus. Some of you say, speak to the hand.

But that's not powerful enough. Speak to the hand. I say,

speak to the man, but you know that I just

kick quiet. Okay, you talk to him first, and if

the Lord wants to talk to me, he will tell me.

And so it's so much easier now, and you know

the devil's voice. The devil is there here to discourage you,

here to deny you, here to make you feel down depressed,

seek you know, here to lie to you. He's the

father of lies. So I just tell him, devil, don't

waste your time. I'm watching Liverpool play. So uh. There

is a new boss, you see, and he's already given

all all of us, all of us children have been

told by the Lord. You ain't you. You don't have

the authority to come directly to us. Sorry, but speak

to the man, and I tell you what. It's been good.

It's been good because the devil very rarely was to

go and speak to Jesus. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Okay, holy communion? Today we did Holy comedians.

Our want has very quickly talked to you about holy communion.

And then I will draw to the last lap. Now

what does the Bible say Jesus said this all right?

Or rather let me let me let me change first.

Corinthians eleven, twenty three, twenty six. Paul said this, for

I received from the Lord that which I also delivered

to you. That the Lord Jesus, on the same night

in which he was betrayed, took bread, and when he

had given thanks, he broke it and said, take eat.

This is my body which is broken. For you do

this in remembrance of me first time remembrance of me.

Then he says, in the same manner, he also took

the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the new

covenant in my blood.

This do as often as you drink it in remembrance

of me.

Second time. Now, I don't want to make the story

long just to say that I don't believe that Jesus

kept telling us to remember him because he thought, as Christians,

we are people of amnesia. Okay, that suddenly you will

forget Jesus if this week we don't have convenient because

he said take it as often.

So for me, I take it every morning.

Okay, every time I'm finished, I tell Shirley, Sherley, can

I have thirty more of the cups, and so she

gives to me. And then, of course I'm away to

celebrate my anniversary this week and also my birthday, so

I told Sherley, please, I need to take the cups

with me also because I need to do it when

I'm on holiday. So I'll do my quiet time and

I and it's very very, very very powerful, but I

take communion. I remember Christ I remember what he's done.

I remember that he exchanged his life from my life.

He exchanged his righteousness for my sin. He exchanged his

or health for my sickness. He exchanged his strength for

my weakness, his light for my darmkness. I can go

on and on, but I already share with you the

last time I was here. So you heard that message

the last time. So there's this great redemption. And the

way I apply into my life is I take the

bread and I take the cup. I apply everything that

Christ has done for me, and everything that is off

me has gone to the cross. So every morning I

go through this exchange, and I say, I don't have

to be sick because my leg is no longer. My

leg is Christ Christ's lig So I take Christ's click,

I put it into my leg and I get healing.

You know, with me, my fear is no longer my fear.

I take his faith, put it into me. He exchanged

and he takes away my fear everyway. Okay, So that's

what communion is. Is very very powerful. But why did

he say remember me? Is it because you always forget him? No,

but you might forget to give him the glory that

is I believe the reason why. It's almost like when

you're taking taking communion gee, Jesus is crying out saying,

canneth remember me, because you know why the whole week

I'm talking about my church, my church, my church, my

worship leader, the new song, the new song canne then

you take a mena It is me right, Oh yeah, Lord, Sorry,

I've been too fascinated with the latest in the day

in the mighty Name of Jesus song. Do you know

you can be fascinated with a Jesus song but not

fascinated with Jesus because we can, we can love the

music but not the master. So every time we take

it or it's not because it's X. It's not because

our preacher is really good. It's not because our pastor

is good looking. It's not because the worship team was

so good. It's not because Passandra as a og leader.

You know, every time she takes her mic, you know,

the whole of heaven opens. Uh. It's not. She's really

good and also pretty and she chose to marry well,

But it's not. It's not because my father is a pastor,

reverend Pope Jesus through every communion cries out, it's me,

it's me. I need to go to hill songs. It's me,

I think I want to go and worship at Bethel.

You know, because it's me. Oh, Stephen means me. Oh

TDJ is me. Oh I got safe through Billy grahams

Mee's me. You understand it's me because so many of

us can put our confidence in so many things and

forget there's just one thing. Light. The whole essence of

discipleship is found in these two words. Okay, guys, with

this hour draw to a close, all right, last lap now,

because I want you to see how when you get

the right focus, when you put your confidence in the

right thing and in this case, the right person, you.

Will be able to follow the right thing.

Follow me. Okay again, it's not follow x. It's not

followed the doctrine. It is not for you know, you

didn't even say follow the Bible. Follow me. The whole

of the Bible is in the person. In the beginning

was the word, The word was with God. The word

was God. All right, you can read that Jesus is

the Word made flesh. Follow him and man, all right. Next, light,

Paul said, imitate me as I immitate Christ.

Very important.

I want you to understand this because by the time

I'm finished with this message today. My desire is not

just you. Focus on Christ all the time, even in

your complaints. Focus on Him, even on your leck, focus

on him, even on people's leg focus on him. Okay, Mike, sure, Now,

why is that important to us? Because you are supposed

to follow him, meaning you and I are to be

the Christ here on earth to others. Okay, let me

just make sure I get this correct. Now, let's look

at the next light, and let's very quickly read the

scripture found in Acts three Tree to child, who, seeing

Peter and John about to go to the temple, ask

for arms. You all know this, the gate called beautiful,

and fixing his eyes on him with John, Peter said,

look at us. People ran together to them in the

porch which is called Solomon's greatly abas. So when Peter

saw it, he responded to the people men of Israel,

why do you marvel at this? Or why look so

intensely at us, as though by our own power of

godliness we had made this man walk. Now, listen, this

is what I want to make sure you get. Gonna

I'm gonna try my very best. I'm gonna ask the

Holy Spirit to help me now because this next five

to ten minutes is crucial. Why do you need to

get your eyes on Jesus because what happened in this

particular story is there are two opposing, seemingly opposing.

Phrases or instructions.

Now, before I go in there, let me tell you

something else I told the eight fifteen Am service, which

is very important in my time with the Lord. The

Lord has also said to me, Kenneth, when you pray,

don't try to pray around the world and then end

within Jesus name, Amen, and end so quickly that I

can't hear it. Neither can the devil hear it. How

many of you don't lift up your hands you would

confess that you also pray like that. The name of

Jesus is always at the end.

And not only that.

The longer we are Christian, the longer our prayer is

because we have gained vocabulary. That's why you ask a

younger Christian to pray and they say they're scared, they

don't know how to pray. Actually, it's not that they

know how pray. Are they're not confident. You know why

they're not confident because they heard you pray. And actually

it was supposed to be only twenty seconds. You prayed

for twenty minutes. You took the prayer plane. Now everybody

can pray, and you went past Chang Mai, went into Shanghai,

you went around, you know, to wherever it is, Greenland

or Iceland. You came back down the Americas and then

you went now to Botswana, thinking that you visit pass Lazarez.

And then you cross India and said hi to mother

three's you know, fun fact, she's no longer around.

She's in heaven. Not fun fact, but you know fact.

And then you landed. He said, okay, I A. You

landed in Sumak airport. And then you said, in Jesus,

all right. And sometimes it's really I mean, I've heard

really good prayers and we get so caught up.

Now, Lord, we thank you.

With all our hearts. We thank you, Oh God. We

are grateful, so grateful to you for the justification that

we have experienced through Christ. And from there God, we

have learned to be sanctified. And now we are waiting

to be glorified. And Lord Jesus, we now pray for

Malaysia that is in the world, and we pray for

our Prime minister that you know Oh, that the fear

of God will come and saturate his heart. Oh. Now

you're just passing by American and you go into India,

Lord will thank you.

Even the language change.

And about twenty minutes go by, and you could feel

all the eyes like dagger stabbing you from the bag because.

You've gone beyond lunch. Now that was only just to

say grace, you know, just to say grace.

Your food is all cold, your fish and chips, the

fish has go back into the queryo swimming again. And

then you end because you know it's it's you dick

it too long. You end very quickly. Interest's name, Amen?

And then somebody sorry, what name is it? Jos Show's name?

I heard you say Jason's name, Jesson's name. You say Jason, No,

I say Jesus name. Amen, very fast. Love not understanding

is the last bit that makes your prayer. The devil

wasn't even hearing the first partner. Because you can get

from Chech Gibt.

Do you understand? Do you want a really good prayer?

Chech Jipt can give it to you. But you know

what happened.

I learned from the Lord that the people of all

the apostles often prayed in Jesus name first, so food

for thought. He looked at the man who was seated

there begging, not being able to walk, and Peter said,

in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up

and walk.

You see the prayers so short, rise up and walk.

But he started, I got other scriptures that will show

you that even Paul pray like that in the name

of Jesus. You want the devil to know whose name

you're praying first, don't go around the universe.

And then said, interest the damn He's like, you know,

the devil go you sneeze.

You are you with me? That means that those people

who pray like that also, And I know I know

from today always you're gonna be so conscious of your

prayer because pastors said and so you know you're not

gonna want to say in Jesus David anymore. Everyone want

to say it the begain no, no, no, you can

say it, and let me have a disclaimer. Okay, don't

be so conscious and when you really get guided and

let but the hold speed to pray longer. Prayers are

five minutes you oh yo, are you sorry? And people

are all laughing around you, and then that get said, no,

the please are I didn't mean that. I didn't mean

for you from today always to go like I don't

know how to pray. Deal. I don't pass made fun

of you. No, I didn't make fun I'm just telling

you that all the front part. If you are that

kind of prayer, if you are the kind of prayer prayer,

if you are the kind of prayer, then maybe you

depend on your language too much because you think that

it is your That's what Jesus said, right, You don't

be so repetitive. There's got people think that they are

heard for their repetition. So I give you advice. Pray

in the name of Jesus first, and pray and just

cover both sides. How about that?

Okay, I want to teach you someboding here. Look at us.

A lot of Christians don't know this XTV. Just wait

to hit that way back. You know, I didn say anything.

I didn't say anything. There's power moving right there, just

staying here. Hey, he said already, because when he's sending

up I can see him. Do you know that in

our discipleship life, many of us don't dare say look

at us because we think it's blasphemy. We think it's pride.

But you know how the men got healed the day

he got healed by following instructions, and the instruction was

not look at Jesus. The instruction was look at us. Now.

That's why even while you're sitting here, most of you

are looking at me, all right, And it's important that

you look at me, because if you didn't have to

look at me, I could preach on the back.

No of you just looking there is.

A voice, the voice right worship leader also has to

leave from the front, otherwise next week you'll just leave

from the back. There is something about our responsibility here

on earth to be the Christ. I know just by

saying the Christ is all I get stolen, right, But

to be the Christ that other people don't know can't see.

Are you also with me?

Very important disciples ship. If you really want to see

work and make it work, you've got it's got to

be look at us.

First.

That family that went to your house and suddenly the

baby stopped crying because of the peace of God in

your house, you have to invite to your house first.

You didn't say I take you to the House of

Jesus uh, your friends who go to mana dou mau

my house. Now, what will happen is that you are

so effective at being the disciple of Christ, so effective

at being the agent of Christ, so effective being the

very one that when people look at they see something

that will help them, that people now want to look

at you. So therefore comes the second statement, why do

you look at us? This too, ladies and gentlemen. Before

I close, this message must be a balance in our lives,

because I see more and more people say, hey, you

know the why look at the bastad, Why look at

the bustad? Why look at you know? Why look at

the judge? No, listen, there is a place for look

at us. And then remember the next light comes at XTV.

Already showed it, but they will show it again, and

this time for longer at XTV in Marajo now because

they don't want to move.

The problem is not look at us, Rachel. The problem

is not look at us.

Right. That's why when you go and train all the

light bulb people, you gotta say, look at us, look

at me. You don't just go around said don't know

at me, Ah, I'm dancing behind Uh you know, No, mirrors.

Okay, don't look it, No, just look at Jesus when

you're dancing.

There is a look at Us that everyone in this

room has got to be confident of this. There is

a place of look at me, and no one here

in this room should be have trouble with that. The

trouble is if you continue to look at me. So

after you look at me and you get your healing,

now that you want to worship me, I said, don't

worshy me. I am also a man when you pay

attention to me, because I wanted to give something to you.

See if and God I have I none but what

I have I give you. I give you Jesus. But

after that you gotta look at him.

You get that acts three sixteen says and his name,

through faith in his name, has made this man strong. Listen,

there was two statements on the very first line. Can

you can you catch it? First? It's his name, that

is faith in his name. It often takes two hands

to clap, you know. The Bible doesn't put words there

for no reason or no If it was just only Jesus,

then his name has made this man strong.

But the apostle under the anointing of the Holy Spirit

said his name.

There's some one.

But through faith. You have to have faith. You have

your faith. I have to have faith.

I'm preaching right here hopefully that when you are listening

to me, looking at me, you will get him, not me.

But what can happen is that when people don't have

the why do you look so intently at us? And

so all the time is just look at me, And

that's where the danger is that that's where people fall.

Okay, all right, so let's go on, let's move on.

There's a bit more. There's a bit more.

Once we are confident in Christ, this is what I

want to get to, then we will also be confident

to be used for Christ. And that is the crux

of this message. Once we are confident in Christ, then

we will also be confident to be used for Christ.

You see, if your confidence is in your pastor, then

there will be no power because if you want to

be used for your pastor, there's no power. If your

confidence is in the music, is in the bands, in

the song, there's no power. So get get the confidence correct.

First is in Christ. But what what that must do

to you and me is to be confident to be

used for Christ. All right, pass and rack. Can you

just reach out in my bag and bring in my

bring bring my yellow glove and with I'll close. Okay,

thank you, this one, thank you so much. Okay, not mine?

I have both? Okay, fine, Oh what do you give me?

Okay?

This one fine?

All right, new gloves I just bought.

Okay, all right. The Bible says we are made in

God's image. Does this look like a hand? Yeah?

One thumb, four fingers okay, and made to look like

a hand.

That is it a hand?

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Made in God's image?

Uh a?

Come on, come for for please, I will show you

what this hand can do. Look at me, huh.

Okay, turn around. I'm gonna massage you, all right. I

won't take long. Okay, you feel it?

Do you feel it?

No wasting my time. I'm gonna massage you on your life.

You know, you know how many Christians go around that

we look like the hand, but we're not the hand.

We think we can do a lot. Okay, can you

shake my hand? Just shake? Hey, strong handshake? Come on,

I mean I'm meant I told you, I mean you

shake handshakes wrongly. I don't feel anything a bit properly

to properly. So basically, this hand cannot shake that all right,

let me try to pray for you. The Bible says,

lay hands. Mhm, lay hands.

My head felt out?

Is it? Okay?

Thank you so much.

There was a lawyer who said, you know, look like

the hand, sound like the hand, but not the hand.

Now it looks like the hand. Yeah, it does, but

it has no power until the real hand comes in.

And some of you have seen this illustration. I will

do it anyway. How many of you think that if

I fill this hand with tissue, it can start doing

what it couldn't do earlier.

Tissue?

Maybe maybe the tsue represents new songs. May maybe maybe

two tissues represents a good preacher two tissues, or maybe

three tissues represents the latest Bible out there.

Oh, hand is feeling.

I'm no, I think it's going to be able to

do it now or me be church attendance. My church

attendant is very faithful, or maybe serving the lot while thinking?

So many you know, sorry, are those of you who

love trees? Because I think it's feeling. I'm no, it's feeling. Wow.

Oh now I really look the part.

Okay, but I think I think I can do it

now because I've got everything that I need, church membership,

all that I got, and then I give to missions.

I think I think I got it. I think I

got it, thank God it and I just came here

for missions as well. All right, this is wanted for sure?

You feel okay? Good, my such I'm gonna give you

nice nice huh?

Not nice? Okay?

Left? Let's I think sometimes okay, because left hand I

can only work what left? Sid h pinch your bum?

Can you feel the pinch? No? Okay, never mind you seated?

Thank you so much? Okay. A lot of us try

to say look mean, but actually what is needed as

I close? Oh? So many tissue? Maybe I should keep it.

Let me just keep it up so that I would

be responsible.

As I close.

People listen, Jesus, Jesus, Yeah, no, no, it's okay. I

can put because I can hold this microphone. Yeah. My

wife likes to give me another hand, so everybody keeps

that my hand, okay, Jesus, the only hand that could fit,

because I was made for this hand and now oh

it fits, Rachel, it fits. Actually, I want to call

you out. When I knew I couldn't message you. You

know you know what I'm saying because my wife is here. No, no, no,

my wife not here, so I can a message.

Okay, okay, hello, Hello. Do you see Jesus?

Of course not.

You see the glove? Look at us?

You don't.

The glove by yourself cannot do anything.

I am the vine. You are the branches. Without me,

you can do nothing. And yet we go around trying

to do things right because we look like the hand,

because we put see us, and you like you look

like the head. But after you put the glove, you

put you, you put, you put Christ in you the

hope of glory. You can't see Christ, you can see

the hand, but they will come. Last time, I promise,

even though you are the Holy smoke guy. I always remember. Okay, brother,

all right, all right, brother, all right, in the name

of Jesus. Right, Jesus won't do it without us. But

before he can use us that he has to enter

and we nothing else will do. In fact, if I

had anything else, is that here the glove might not

fit as though because it fits perfectly.

Come come on and enjoy it.

Huh.

Remember when you win.

The competition in South Africa, I had a lot to

do with it. Okay, yeah, because I just released all

this tension. Okay, all right, Albert, Albert high five. Oh

my word, does a sound?

Try try this word?

Okay, handshake, handshake, Oh my word. We now feel the

warmth the love.

All right, Praise God, good good?

Amen? Fisbe Oh are we going to fisbum? Try fiz one?

We just one? Okay, paidfool. I don't paidfool. Sorry, all right, God,

bless you, so let me close, Let me close, Lord,

I thank you as I still wear this glove. That

it's true that, as disciples of Jesus, the reason why

there's slow power in our lives is because it could

be that we have filled ourselves with so many other

things except the hand of the man that can make

the difference. Or could it be that we refuse to

be the glove that people see, and we keep taking

it off.

You see, we keep.

Taking it off. It's quite hard to take up from

my hand. Now that's sweaty.

By way, Try and take it off my hand.

Because the love of Christians go and I'll say no,

not me, not me, don't let me, no, not me,

don't know me.

Look at Jesus look.

At Jesus, and you can't see Jesus because he is

not here. He's seated at the right hand of her Father.

And he says, go into all the world and preach

the gospel. He he wants to He wants to be

in us, and he wants to have us come and

abide in him as He abides in us. So for

the last time, I want to say this to you,

don't be a glove that goes around either with nothing

or a glove that goes around filled up with other things.

Because you and I were made in the image of God,

and only God fits. Nothing else will satisfying, nothing else

would do. Only God, Jesus Christ fits. Put your confidence

in him. That's my first point. And then have confidence

to be used by him. Learn from Peter the secret

of going out there to say, look at us. Because

the first thing your friends see is not Jesus. The

first thing your friends see is a yellow glove. But

as soon as the yellow glove begins to move into

their lives, handshake high five, putting your hand over their

head to pray for them. As soon as you begin

to say look at Us. And then when the miracle happens,

you remember to say, why do you look at us

so intently as though we did this. No, it's his name,

Faith in his name.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
