FASTING - A start to change | Pr Yvonne Chong

You're listening to a message to go from axt church. We hope this message

will light up your day. I thought of just showing you, you guys,

I saw of what God is also doing across the other continent exactly central

like so searching. You know. In February, you know, we were

all meeting combined services and we had our aniversary service right as a church,

and we were in the center of even the administration center from Malaysia. They

got open. She's actually eating passion and pass in meno and was really really

blessed during the period time when we started praying for our nation and blessing our

nation that she waits the face and late, you know pasta that you know,

when Basta started praying, you know he cannotop tearing. You can and

God, God, what are you doing? You know, Malaysia is not

my country. This it's not my land. Why am I crying for this

Malaysia? You know in someone way down to a little late, but God

just moved him and his heart was just really filled with with love for our

land. That you don't have to say who around sentence actually insan and I

believe very much as well. That's more to come for us Malaysia. There

was something so time I shat down to Susan and children. But man,

it just was on this ground for a while and already felt, you know,

God's love, tremendous love for this nation. Is that my trying to

Sime said, consols that function that I do my that's in Mano. He's

actually a church blank coordinat coordinator for ex Harborony has a woman ax Haborony.

Tell you so that's the capital city for Botswana. That's the tire woman the

near to yours. So I'm gonna trum transport us back to Botswana. You

know, I managed to go there for mission trip with Pasta Sandra, do

you guys. Said so I thought, you know, just showing you what's

going on there. And so you see it on the left side that picture

piano. We are actually very very close to the airport. That's where the

capital city is. That so just had to face and so Botsana it's actually

covered. That's something ways and see the cow and and and most of even

they don't have a lot of big trees there face, it's more like shrubs

not really straps like tiny trees just so seldom I see the So the trees

are very Jesse's high in say uh and this as a plane flew past,

uh just closer there there was actually a diamond mine. Actually, yeah,

diamond mine. So in Botswana, if I'm not wrong, there's five or

six diamond minds. So it's I the tsang. So they produce the highest

quality of diamonds. How then I say the tes So this this picture I

took past the Sena is actually it is plane called Airlink. So Airlink just

flies within the continent of Africa. Niga the Hong Kong like she's facing.

So we flew from Africa, Uh, johannes Burg into Harbor on so fa

the next picture doesn't to do justice, but it's the sunset Africa and all

my my close friend Pasta Nicoline was telling me, you need to catch the

African sunset. You cannot find it anywhere else in the world Nomon Road.

So that's really true. The picture that's not doing justice because they were like

layers of colors across the horizon. It's really beautiful and rural also so that

even the sunset and Tanjong Arrow in looking up this it's like the Niger in

Malaysians or the Sabahans. You know, you guys take pride in the Tanjong

Arrow sunset right, this is way more awesome. Okay, okay, next

of time when we're reaching out to these students, I didn't have a view

at all like how it's going to be like in the future will one So

it has been almost the tea of the teen years now. So to have

left Malaysia to timid my that was the sun name. And this by the

way, these people right, they were Neeli. We used to have one

homes downs home and your cell to so xtually life started with homes for two

years. First nilam you tell to a function that you think and then only

just brought all the people in center the barang and died out line. So

we had to open all the room doors. You know, people were just

filling up the rooms and we'll have people standing even at the corridor of the

apartment near the stairs as well, just to come for homes went higher pars

THENDO in Santa l n Tanta Jallo Nani No when choose the dunk harmond.

But when we started, it was tough. You know. I remember first

picking them up for our Wayshi service in Subang, Right, I waited three

hours for them dank so her nai up timid you hear the sold timon sunk

to be what the waiting was unitedly she don't like. She don't know.

So they are the fruit of the sewing come and juice woman. So tis

ones and all of them are doing really well, holding you know, really

high positions in in in in Botana in their career. Maker and the face

and down on those yours the way. So when they heard that pass and

I were coming over, they make time to meet out with us. Have

a thing that was a woman leaders turn to you, she goes the furtherest

is uh, the lady in full black dress in the head. So the

three the juice Meganese and and they's on Betsy. She drove thirteen hours just

to meet us. Same woman. Yeah. And and you know the Sajo

which is next to Bassa less he brought his kid to just meet. It's

like meet my child. That's like it feels like I'm a mother your grandson.

But it was it was very honoring of him to do that, Siga.

And before we left, you know, he sent us off at the

airport as well. I bought the breakfast at the airport time I saw Yeoman,

so we talked about you know, all may know, we don't know

what we are talking into now, but we will see the fruits in the

days to come and see down students. So I don't know, woman can't

put to the next picture is them all? So we had ladies fellowship with

the huddle one girls there no Roman had wan over the real nandos. I

always love eating the nandos here in Malaysia nandos. But I went there and

I had it, and I'm like, okay, the ones we have is

nowhere close to what they have that Benizona. Just be so what we have

here is just an introduction to the real thing. See entirely from South Africa.

Okay. Now next picture, Okay, so this is I'm not to

and I spoke about him the last time. Benjamin, you know, showing

you his face now, you know the one that they renovated his house,

chase the door and then after that he gave his life the Christ because they

managed to open the door of his heart. After that, Jongs who had

a fund, had you sing way hold had sing? How would changing a

door reach someone you know? Bang you who am bins and cigar that hir

had a single Now changing a dog also contributes to all knowing the lord right

justice money is jan okay, next picture, so I'll not show you I

joined the homestead again? Can you tell tell you the jatting cell to,

so this homes their homes is actually outdoor because the houses are really small.

They have huge land but really small house. Come on you and the jazz

sheltered and homes is in the evening the jatting cell to but that sunset right,

we can't see each other. But they were a lot of mosquitoso.

So even wins. But people keep coming back from homes because he has to

put on chatting sell to our homes in nela is to a constition, but

they're not. Sometimes it's like chepponic for homes. No no, how many

now when you know you're so light, the celts a little sundra and liar

this on our homes after homes are is always despreading and this homes is playing

a multiply against the cell. It's a put on your in the Lin like

she to. And then this lady that you all, she's the hit.

Uh she's the dean in limp Cocking University for the fashion design department. Then

I'm only going to and has the Lego station. She was our student in.

Next cyber Jay that's Amansi cyber Gallustation. And with all the dirt and

mosquito, she still came for homes no like that, jatting cells to Okay.

Next on this is where export is past. Okay, so where the

signboard is is where export first started. The space so it cannot x mot

X kids Smith's there, juice adult smiths in another bigger space tarm x kids

there sometimes and go and about fifty sixty children nikis and it's right next okay

you see okay the signboat next to you, that's something I thought, right,

there's the lamb. Then down there that's like another entrance that is actually

a butcher. You cannot they sell beef the and sell beef. You can

cannot, not being justice German. And that my road, yeah new road

because they love their beef. So and this shop usually opens up on Sunday

morning even time and to do out somewhere Kai in the whole village. This

shot is the most famale shot because their price is cheap and the beef is

fresh. Downtown just I mean time the new roads. So imagine the kids,

you know when they break out for exkis they walk past and then you

know they this guys chopping me there, it's not chopping the kids. So

yeah, she does new road. But the amazing thing because of where the

church is, it's in the middle of the village, is a very strategic

place that people get to find out that there's a church and we can be

attending and be part of it because another thing down like tree, thing like

this attuity consists of ninety percent of a mix of teenagers and children die juice

passing those teams sounding hoyo rarely got adults that leaders to the links. So

parents allow the teenage, you know, children to work with their their little

kids. Right to church fifteen twenty minutes, coul next time. See this

is where x ex Harborony meets at. It's on the top floor. You're

not the girl flor the top floor, she's the ex haborony. The s

silo sound like treatment. Where ex Harborough is located is in the rate light

district, say Harborony talmans sol eating the defunc ho the lion tree prostitution.

So it is like your Kent's a bus hulf there is the bus center.

The bus all come from villages and go out to the city. Haven't done?

Did the Niger the defounders and put on the bus, put on the

turns. But then it's a hub for prostitution. Also, sooner she sager

around and that fam might just changing the So Botana is one of the countries

in Africa that has the highest case of h I when you seeker you but

God has led us and called us to plant here to reach every single person

because she don't so that all may know, right okay uh and we are

all part of this as well. Next is there anything else? So this

is where the venue is. And it was the aniversary service on Sunday.

Next Uh, this this is the worship. It's like this every Sunday.

See who so you know, imagine Maggie and then you're doing this as well

and Josh, yeah, so it is. Yeah, it's just a really

amazing time where she been God next found children. So it was aniversary Sunday.

This is like just one third of the kids that was there, and

I told the photo no friend, no kon uh, it was really hot.

It's just glass he was captured in. But the kids still came simon

not some fancy the high phone. A lot of them from judic. So

they took the public bus on your own. So we hired the combis the

public vents and they came on your own commons to the found Like imagine that

tiny ones going out on the bus really classes next one. And then this

is the first time ever as well, they have commissioned six teenagers to be

leaders in the church. Something like she and Galli way, the teens are

nailing like wailing youngest fourteen years old three shelders. Imagine a fourteen years old

reaching out to a prostitute and leading him or her to Christ see sounding and

that she told like she trying. You know, I spoke about we do

not know what God has installed even for tomorrow. Medium he's seen someone searching.

But when we fast and pray because the town man, that's the whole.

And then we obey got for obedience right down like she is soon flucion.

God works in miraculous ways. No Sancho sanitis and and it's a lot

of times right off our inconvenience as well and woman, but got most with

our obedience. Obedience is better than sacrifice. That's the world of God.

If it's so, it's just a certain time and soon food like she's searching.

And I remember when I started the homes right, it was me and

also other working adults chatting cells to the warantu. For me, I just

started my job the phone, so my career and I was only only a

thousand three every month, and so making you the US chain son. Now

looking back, I'm like, I don't know how I actually survived, you

know, traveling toll petrol. Petrol then was more expensive than now. No

younger that you go like it down, So the US that are great.

Yeah, and it's about sixteen years now that you know I've been you know,

I've been let over and again to continue comming to your life since I

travel with in your saluony and easiety like you wait, since I like,

you know a lot of times for us believers, right, we think you

know now you know we are in this uten season of our fast twenty one

days of fast and prayer omen the eating and things that we think that.

You know, God, I am fasting because I have need. It's currently

just so or some what I think. It's the same, uh street.

A lot of times as believer, he got like a venting machine and mazagazine

to major about and don't find so I want. For example, you go

and buy a hundred plus, you just put in your money, frestress first

one hundred plus comes I get, don't you found an h and an?

A lot of times, you know, Christians we see fasting and praying as

that you so woman, We cant down things like, oh God, I

did so fast for twenty one days, I'm just having waters millenly were changing?

What's her sway? Non't need you eating your England water dog out?

Lord, I've stained even from social media for days. It's super stuffing.

You know, God, you need to answer me so now since the way

the eating our England water dog out. But as believers, as Christians are,

we're fast with a different purpose because it's a magazine towns thousand. How

many of you are participating in your turn fast eating things to see that downtown?

Yeah, you know we fast with that end in mind? Is that

a woman teen sus You know that it's a eager movie out then, and

the end is always for a higher a higher purpose. They're gonna movie honest,

ugur can celliga eam. So I'm gonna turn us now to the scripture

right my til chapter six, verse sixteen to eighteen. When you can't sell

my type for Indian twenties, little can I get a search and to start

reading. So you don't have to take one verse each, but you take

like one one portion of scripture each. Okay, so Schon can start reading.

Then I can bang it. I met chapter six, verse sixteen to

eighteen. You don't have to put the slight upla mention. It's fine.

Okay, we shall altern our bibles together. So those of you who do

not have a Bible, you can raise your hand. You know we have

physics God bibles around. You can take it, uh and you're gonna keep

it. It's fine and so okay, this is saw you to have the

Word of got in your hands. Okay, su shan Okay, my typing

delis and this saluted Nieman thinks the help booka malth Waite Sunderland Santi to ingay

tamon Balin non can go e chailren cantu tamas things suniman talmon eating the tamana

suns eatings. This help yeo shooth hold see len chailren. Can't need things

like jelly and so on. The food contented food and can't be rambout danny

yep, thank you so much for reading. When you first, don't look

like those who pretend to be spiritual. Uh. They want everyone to know

that they are fast things, so that so they appear in public looking miserable

gloomy, and this help have left. Okay, I don't even pronounce this

word. Believe me, they've already received a reward in full. When you

first, don't let a bit obvious. Don't sw drama, but instead wash

your face and groom yourself. Don't be so drama and realize that your father

in heaven don't show off. Okay, the father in heaven in the secret

place is the one who is watching all that you do in the secret and

will continue to reward you openly. So right, Jesus did not fail to

remind us that we need to fast. It is not an option. So

exam used to being made issue like a man soul things, so you can

show that slight now Machen. So right, if you look at the verse

right, if it's an option, right, this verse will start with if

you fast, you cannot tage it and also google on himntintion. But geez

that say when you're fast, meaning you have no option but just fast,

consider maintains and when you're fast, this is what you need to do.

So she also so why then what is the purpose of our Christians? You

know of us fasting side women's things to the east. There are many kinds

of different fasts that different ones are doing. Women things on the function as

in the non Christians do fast as well. We all know that it's a

Ramadan man now juice side juice, but generally for health purposes or so doctors

to encourage people to fast. Also because the diations and doctors Eastern like she

could leader things hitting counter un But then what's the difference between all this fasting

than the Christian kind of fust thing. So the title said she had the

things to the funds, she had the things to her woman singles. Yeah,

the key difference is a spiritual Christian purpose because juice just souling sound eat

sound. So it's beyond just God. You know, I need something I'm

fasting to tell you. I'm gonna show us nine areas that you know that

is biblically even a line for the purpose of fasting. So okay, can

that youtuer then justice andersen with fast first time with fast to strengthen our prayer

just the woman the strengthen of prayer life just a can't tell women. And

some of you're like, Okay, I don't know what to fast for.

You know that fast just for good results, but having good results is it

a higher spiritual purpose? Because the tiger house and this sound. So that's

a guy that you can actually ask yourself. So you just said it's that

you. Are you just fasting for good results? Or are you fasting so

that your prayer life improves? Strength? Needing cake and the gun? Are

you fasting and praying because you want to see God's guidance things tuition in it

out look. Instead of just deciding and go ahead with what you want to

do, you wait and let God guide you need? So are you fasting

and praying to seek His deliverance or protection? Need? Like you sh to

cend the serf about who? And you know, are we fasting and praying

to humber ourselves before him. So when you need chamber womanize the mean this

is something which I rarely hear. That you know, I'm fasting and praying

because I want to humble myself before the Lord. That was the meaning or

expressing repentance or grief. You so that she sounds bet with the way guy

with our weight the next one, or to express concern for his work,

and said she sounds, and what is the word of God? What is

the work of the Lord, So that all may know right just how that

out to see the glory of the Lord, feel the whole earth, just

the wail that I can send the pay manchin, that the Gospel may be

preached to every single tribe and every single tongue. How God, you know,

you know why is you know there's so many people in your life,

but why are we not reaching them? Noout harmon you fast and pray because

of that need, like she thinks, with fast and prayer to overcome temptations

and then decating ourselves to him. It's a willers around woman like she So

it's just patterity, wage, engage and best of all is to express of

our love and devotion to him. How to see sounds and two women that

eye higher woman the weights. And you remember I mentioned that you know Christians

were fast. The way we fast is very different. It's outout saying too

man things. For example, young no one else will expressed love and devotion

to someone to just abstaining from something ignan mile and els also like she sees

and does pemen that don't see without the spiritual purpose are fast is just going

hungry? So good women the things three chumen society, it would just be

dire think it was just yeah, it would just be saving money from eating.

You wait a sasan chans. How does it then benefit us when we

fast that moment I think set out us whole? Not to imagine, younger

eagle, how true? What spiritual you know, blessings that we will actually

you know as be given to us as a reward from the Lord. You

tire amening too so much chosen lighted souling the truth for swilling down? When

the how does god fulfilled faith feel fasting? No sn like she tried omaging

down like she told my woman Matthew chapter sixth less than to that? Uh,

okay, you're ready to read next Simatidilutangue. Matthew, chapter six,

verse sixteen to eighteen dissolute that this is a party mother when it turned out

to be like hypocrites with a sad countenance. For that this figure their faces

that may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I said to you,

they have their reward, but you when you first I know it,

your head and wash your face so that you do not appear to men to

be fasting, but to your father, who is in secret place, and

your father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly. Yeah.

So the last part of this portion just not you read it earlier, but

the last the ready earlier is to say that it is not an option.

The second is that God rewards all right, what he sees in the secret.

He is done in the secret things about that woman. So what have

you been doing in the secret that no one knows? So it's omen samirans.

God sees canting. As much as we fast in the secret, God

rewards it. Sw woman control the soul. How about that? But when

we're seen in the secret, God sees all because the woman t okay,

So I'm gonna bring us to the next part you know, God rewards the

expressions of our emptiness and lonliness to be filled by Him. So how like

she cheap her woman, then move it? How cheap pandel like she took

my woman. We cannot fast out of our own strength and our own will

and our own power. So culter to see the lili uncuntered to lee it

can try fasting for three days a week just by your own strength, sin

make leand or just going without food for three days just plain water. Right,

and she's puts me because of health reasons, and you'll definitely feel like

it's gonna be very, very tough. He can show the house and face

and face none, but we are able to only do it when the Lord

supplies and his strengthens. Considered woman like she goes in glam. All right,

So I'm gonna move on to h okay this part gosh, you don't

have much time life, And so first thing itself shows us sort as a

special measure of faith in our life, the whole nothing so that you hurt

that woman seeing the ebats So when you first, if I use it in

ordinary expression, you know you turn on a special mode. There you go.

Next sings that she like most, and and when you turn on to

them next, but that's when you see that, you know I am going

to be having more of God Most to cut out. You know, all

of us, right, we are all created by God and those us And

she tuns out, and God made us right to really enjoy food certain sound,

So I am sure none of us here hates eating Talians and all of

us here when we taste bad food or a bad dream, we know that

it's just bad, so we know how to differentiate from houses. Yeah,

what it's nice to be eaten and what's not nice, So you don't have

to be a foodie to be able to separate that. So they pushed out

and down the fun beIN. So God made us write eaters and drinkers to

also teach us a little bit about himself. No society to her, and

she tells our woman and and the first creation itself. You know, when

God created the world, a lot of it was edible and drinkables, and

if I drained it to parallel, right, God allows us to be able

to do that, you know, so that we're able to also taste of

His goodness to a certain tiest around like she toungues it all when it tastes

good food right, went to the houses. You know it's good, not

because the extra and mesgy that they put in, but we have fun.

The condor waiting that he means I love eating fruit once, so go and

I know a fruit is really good because it's just freshly right from tree,

not the preserve like they're writing papers for like or they put chemical in all

those kinds of fruits. Is that she's not nice to powder it all.

And and you know fruit that is freshly powdered tree, right, you eat

it right, even vegetables as well, without chemical you pluck it up.

You just can just taste the sweetness in it. The time that society how

they remember when sister Rebecca gave me her fresh like type of mango from a

tree. Right, Wow, you can just eat it like that without even

juicing and adding any anything else into it. So yeah, it's weight.

So when our mouth is full, I'm giving a comparison, we are able

to also know that and taste that the lot is good. So it's again,

and can't I get pitch out to the Roman cag down the nigger the

main sense, And somehow when we are really hungry and sometimes whatever we eats

something because they're there also since the whole town and students. So when we

allow ourselves to be hungry before the lot, that union in humanity and intensity,

it will help sharpen our spiritual taste. But that's tell her she bounds

to romantized shooling something and you can't get the eager the wages. And I

realized, you know, the more and fast the less I complain about the

lot, No, no fast, she cannell the less and complain about things

that's around me and not happy about a lot of things. You know,

I realized that happens lesser cans out myrin. And she tried will simping so

fast in the city is say yeah. Chapter fifty five Versus one says past

okay uh jer on your next is it okay? Isaiah and the Old Testament

Isaiah fifty five verse one, It says, yah, I can read English

that you read in Mandrin. Okay, everyone ho ho everyone hotels, come

to the waters and you have who have no money, come buy at it.

Yes, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. Us

Isaiah eat yeah like male inchiender my lordship. Yeah, like my chi her

night, so God himself, it's the only one that can satisfire us beyond

all the bestest food in the world. So it sence its deepens certain years.

Okay, like she tame to my woman soil to just to tell your

united to ohio her she's the only one that crnched, can crunch outers,

uh, even even more than the purest water in the world. You know,

any springs from the Alps mountain cannot crunch outers. Sooner a way eagerly

tame my woman, and I say they you know, this verse even refers

to the bestest wine, but you know, the richest milk it cannot even

crunch them contact because back in those days they actually drink more wine than water.

And it's not down So hold hamon hurt you don't go her swing because

they don't have proper filteration systems, so drinking water itself is not safe for

them. So down how they say, sweet? Then I see that hurts

you, yeah so, And and the car wine is very different from the

wine these days, like the letter to consider that young, So in him,

our souls will eat what is good, and we delight ourselves in the

Lord woman Francis that she the town. Revelation, chapter twenty one, verse

six. She's lous eats and deliuty. Let's read that how you told the

what's the alaha, what's the omega? What's the true? What's the job?

Show me straight? Byebye it again, No cocadoran her. It is

done, he said, so, he said to me, it is done.

I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.

I will give of the fountain of water of life freely to him who first

to the Thursday. I will give him or give from the spring of water

of life without payment. Revelation, chapter twenty two, verse seventeen. The

next chapter leading lating with the one sending her sing fo li ttinerin yeah,

guys, sure like coldcurderon. Yeah done, lie, you need a bye

bye me the straight and the Spirit and the bride say come and let him

who hears say, come and let him who thirst come, whoever desires,

Let him take the water of life freely. Let the one who is thirsty

come. Let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

Okay, one more verse. I want to turn us to John. Chapter

six, verse thirty five. Mm. Yeah, Daniel is that typhon dinner.

Yeah, it's also juices and ing the young waterly like the beating sing

water young and book okay, John chapter six, verse thirty five. And

Jesus said to that I am the braid of life. He who comes to

me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never And one

of the best reminders of it can be abstaining temporarily from other food and drink

very fast right our stomach we reveel the eggla okay soufu. Sometimes when we

fast, you know there's gastric juices. You know, you feel some pain.

I'm gonna wait down for wait tell you, but you know I hope

these eggs and pains in our gods remind us that Jesus is the true food.

And here is the true dream. No, just see the pustul food.

So you certain years that cermans heard. Nothing of this world can satisfy

using care. I'm man to women. Do know that you know sometimes we

sick pleasures elsewhere, but nothing in this world can satisfy us so much.

Shoetown, k I man to a woman. Yeah, and I am gonna

close pretty soon. Uh. And I turn this so Isaiah. Okay,

let's turn to that Isaiah chapter fifty eighth, verse six to fourteen. It

was a battern. Can I know anyone here living from the New Living Translation?

You have New Living Translation Bible? And one Isaiah chapter fifty eighth,

verse six to fourteen. Sorry said this? Who's a bad timething? This

suit? Yeah? I close with this? What do we do when we

first so here? I thought you could say, show the thing? When

just that moment I changes omen so so verse six onwards. Anyone you're living

translation here? Ah? Okay, I can also then I'll help you translate

the English. I read English? Okay, anyone opinion Bible? I can

help with that. And shoot, is it not say that English? English?

And I did English? That's okay? No, this is the kind

of fast thing I want. Three those who are wrongly in prison, Lighten

the burden of those who work for you, Let the oppressed go free,

and remove the chains that buy people can continue. Share your to stop,

share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless, give

clothes to those who needs them. And do not hide from the related who

need your help. Okay, start Elisha, can so spech baniy the beings

and the guitar thirty kuci to see the gu So when we fast, you

know the world God, you gotta paraphrase it. It reminds us to also

not neglect the people that is around us. So in a town that thinks,

the son down to tas town and so we are like she pinch children.

Because sometimes I be fascated. If you're uncomfortable, sometimes you're hungry.

We can't grumpy as well. So inowment that thinks. So if it's but

the word of God, say, you know, do not with whole,

do not you know, to continue to be a blessing to the people around

us. Parent the two food, you know, let the oppress go go

free. You know, if you know of anyone you know who has been

uh the bullet, you know we need to help them pounds to share your

food, you know, give shelter those do not have a home to live,

you know, give them shelter. Do you not say they give clothes

to them? How my food those who do not have? Why then you

know, as we do that right, probably I'll just read it. Well,

then your salvation will come like the dawn. Your wounds will quickly healed.

Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will

protect you from behind. You light no need to do. It's to the

family, need the whole, to the glory of the lot will protect us

from behind, because a lot of times you don't know what's gonna come and

and and you know, get that us put on omen the university nine.

Then when you call the Lord, we'll answered no, did you di naseni

choke out? Ye? You be inlan he said. Then he was saying,

oh, yes, I am here. And remove the heavy yelk of

oppression and stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors the tyrannists hoping far.

You know, wow, I feel right. This should be a life style

for us to stop gossiping about people just side, just like Dickerson, who

the same bear. You know, little Living Translations used the worst words vicious

rumors. You know, it's vicious. It's stronger, it has a stronger

sense and meaning to just you know, spreading gossips just a woman yelling uh.

And and you know when we look at something which is vicious, it

always gives us the impression that it devours it like a lion. You know,

any any predator. It just pounds on the praise and and test it

apart and eat it up. Signat young woman spreading gossips does that to the

other person if it's that woman like she sample you know, so you hear

she don't paid and she jumps to the woman fit, the hungry and not

going to move on overs there and help those in trouble. Then your light

will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you'll be well,

be as bright as non Si Santi and le Guangui Pi hey A, you

are pepin utsen. When the Lord you know says that we are the salt

and light of the earth thousand woman city on the Guangho yin the light here

would mean that the Guangxus negative is that it will shine every darkness. You

know, your darkness in your campus, in your schools, in your office.

Right when you decide to be the light for the Lord, darkness will

free selly society. When I say that, hey Androya, the Lord you

know this is just filled with promises worse eleven and I'm declaring that over us.

So the Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are

dry and restoring your strength. Ways you getannercense and just basins and down sing

my ittu, you will be like a well watered garden and like an ever

flowing spring. Gutuana, use sounds and just try to talk about you know,

being when we fast write the purpose of fasting, we can also be

aware of uh to be fast because we are concerned for the work of God.

Uh. Yeah, yeah, I'm finish that first, because you know

it leads to actually versus. Some of you will rebuild the deserted uh,

deserted ruins of your city. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of

walls and restorers of home. So it takes to you need jewey i huang

fa later the gini bittern with super poor color tongues. You're losing the n

some of you here. You know, God is gonna annoy you and and

make your calling even clearer in the area of rebuilding, restoring what has been

broken, what has been lost. Uh. It takes a special annointing to

rebuild and make something new. Cinnamon and your encounterment and she told me that

she is supernay eating poor don't see, and I'm gonna end. We got

two more versus to go on keep the Sabbath day holy nil tied city.

Look, have we set aside one day for the lot downsim wasted eatingsication?

Not? Sometimes it's tough. That's why we have worship services of Sunday to

help us to really purpose, like on Sunday, God, this belongs to

you. Just around the scene she relocation. Have we been keeping our Sundays

for the CEO? Like about women the scene she real education? Has your

Sunday been holy for the Lord? Since she real for your susan? Dad?

Don't, says he continue here. Don't pursue your own interests on that

day span if I'm going to parapet it, don't have your own enjoyment on

Sunday juices beer, I sin she be like she shank Sunday morning at this

part of the time. I don't know. You know, different ones have

commitment. But have you at least said aside your first half of your sabbath

for the Lord instead of enjoying the comfort of your beer and the account of

your room. Just need meal? But she somehow or go picnicking somewhere on

the Sunday morning. So have you been pursuing our own interest on the Sunday

morning, she sholead et it all, continued her. But enjoy the Sabbath

and speak of it with delight as the Lord's holy day. Jue, honor

the Sabbaths in everything you do and on that day, and don't follow your

own desires to talk idly Jesuit answer, So hold on, you need to

don't follow your own desires? Where actually uned city nonsense? Last verse it

says, say that the Lord will be your delight? We lork. What

else is they say? Said? The Lord will give you great honor.

No, the Lord will satisfy you with the inheritance that has been promised to

even the ancestors of Jacob. So you need you young. I'm going to

write extra up and it ends with this last sentence. I the Lord has

spoken. Yet fasting itself depens and will adjust. She bounds to woman woman

align It will calibrate us through the very purpose of God creating this work like

she bound to a woman does see the body like she do it that she

himself may be magnified. Depend to Tom, that she himself may be glorified

in all of our desires, in all of you know the things that we

enjoy Harnda amenity downtown Rome and that he will reward It's not just because we

asked. He will rewards beyond what we could actually imagine. She signed and

romans how woman sold you sociander. So wheny fast God aligns a to him?

I think the so is, how do it? And do be ready

at all in this twenty one days that God is gonna change your perception?

So you mean so here you can't paying need the sound fast? And I

remember Angeli's tested many of her uturn nast year that she shad and on Good

Friday, on the first day of the First Thing, God asked her to

give up on the relationship that wasn't pleasing unto him. Fund cheer putout you

the girl I can show disc She shot that publicly already okay, don't meant

she was dating a person who is not a believer for four years, so

he had not so who a second eagle facing two name and God the challenge

if you're not fast, you have to do things that need to honor me.

They actually it was definitely painful to give up. They had an association

that does not God have fature on the telt? Anyway you from but she

stepped out in radical obedience. Sometimes like she down to see that she's in

her calling and her life, tasting down to the hotel who got created her

to be no sense with the shifting, aligning, adjusting and calibrating into the

wheel that God has purpose for her. She and thus so hasn't been down

to son and it adjusts into position, calibrates the position the plans and purpose

that God has for her life and that you do Hotel Angeli. It's not

like a thirty year old Christian and facing to the suns. She's been avoid

three o believer sonsiness to but such amazing, amazing and radical faith that she

has and love that she has towards God. Consider how to eat Suthfold have

seen young and she did say in the testimony you all she realizes and knows

that no one else, not even her, that ex boyfriend of hers can

satisfy her names. That the people for her means so she she does not

need to seek security in another human sound like to sick for their security and

assurance in the lot. It has to very fast sermenting this listened as a

whole. It is not mainly about going what we go without the sertiety,

woman, the auto issuing. But who do we one more of a woman's

town to women control? And I hope this is a prayer for all of

us here today in the seat out that you know to say that did this

much o God, I want more of you now see your need. I

know the majority of earth, you know we have been Christian at least five

ten years, fifteen years went down to But I really want to encourage all

of us here so that let this be our prayer, not just for this

twenty one days of you turn fast and prayer that take the open they put

out, but let the hunger start now and look at the to say this

much o God, I want more of you your need. It is not

just about losing your society. It's like know, for Angela, it's not

just about just giving out the relationship and losing you know, someone that she

was in love with you and she eager ganting. But she started doing that

because she was in love with a lot because sang and that wasn't a loss

for her, but it was a greater game for her down to the town.

How many of us here would be brave and bold enough to take this

next s type of faith. So you singing that she tattooing this much?

Oh God, I'm gonna lay aside, but I just want more of you,

know door, you'll need. It is not what we go without but

who. We want more of you to down to do We want more just

pleasures and enjoyment, Miss Lerma. But do or do we want more of

our creator? His We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
