What Does God Hear? | Pr Sandra Chin

You're listening to a message to go from ex Church. We hope this message

will light up your tea this morning. I want to firstly start with just

five thoughts for you of what God hears that you may encourage and know that

our God hears us. Amen. So my first thought for us here is

number one, what does God here? God? Here's the cry of the

righteous? Amen? How many righteous are in the house today? Amen?

All of us are righteous. We are made righteous by the blood of Jesus.

He closes with his robe of righteousness. So some thirty four and if

you have your Bibles, turn to Psalm thirty four and verse fifteen seventeen.

All right, So I'm gonna read this to us. Psalm thirty four,

verse fifteen to seventeen. It says here the eyes of the Lord are on

the and his ears are opened you there whoa the righteous cry out? And

the Lord and the Lord and delivers them out of all there? Come on,

I can hear you the righteous cry out, and the Lord and delivers

them out of there? All right? X KK. Do you want to

break through? Do you want to experience Jesus daily. I'm going to teach

you the key to experience that breakthrough. When we come together, we celebrate

God's word. Open your mouth and declare God's word. When we come to

worship, you gotta sing. You got to lift up your voice because if

you don't, then the spiritual darkness will press on you. Right now,

we celebrate God's word. He's a living word. He's living in you.

So when I say declare the word of God, you declared. It's good

for your soul. It's good for you. Your soul is good for your

spirit. And this morning I came here alive. Are you alive somebody?

Amen? Thank you Jesus, hallelujah. Amen. I walked in here and

I'm excited to be with us to celebrate with you. Amen. So I'm

gonna encourage you. I want to say, let's declare God's wall because his

word is living. Don't keep quiet, don't Church is the place to chea

chat, not the phone. Don't don't che check when you're on the phone.

And when you get together, come on, let's che chat together this

morning. So that your mouth opens, faith comes out. And when I

hear you say, I get faith as well. Amen. So we're here

to encourage each other each utter. Amen, All right here we go.

The eyes of the Lord are on the and his ears are open to there.

Cry out the righteous and the Lord and delivers them out of all their

Hallelujah. The Lord delivers the righteous from all their troubles. The Lord hears

this morning. If you forgots, and if you've been discouraged, it does

the Lord hear me, he says, he hears the cry from the anybody

righteous here today, Glory to God. Anybody righteous here today? Is there

an amen in the house? Amen, It's good for your soul. Say

it. Amen, and Amen? Is the name of Jesus. Revelations.

I taught you that before. Every time we say amen, we're saying Jesus.

Wow, what a beautiful name to say Jesus right, or we want

to declare Jesus. I want to tell you number one, what does God

hear he hears a cry of the righteous. I want to encourage you.

You are the righteous of the Lord. He clothes you with his robe of

righteousness. He washed us in his blood. We are the righteous of the

Lord. When we are, you know, down and out, when we

are going through a tough time and you're thinking I'm in trouble, I'm in

trouble. I drove it down my car license. I'm in trouble, police

stopping me. Cry out, cry out Jesus, all right, because he

hears the righteous. Amen. Anytime you're in trouble, your boss gonna get

you. Cry out, Okay, cry out, I'm your boss, right

you cry out? Okay, okay, cry out, I said, Lord,

Lord, he give me favor. Cry out the righteous, the beautiful

righteous of the Lord. He hears your cry. That's an encouragement to us.

Because you are not righteous. You and I are not righteous by our

own righteousness. We are met righteous by the blood of the Lamb wash.

And every time God looks at you, he says, that's my righteous girl,

that's my righteous boy. Tell your neighbor you are the righteous of the

Lord. Tell your other neighbor cry out, because he hears you. Okay.

Number two? Who does what else? All right? What does God

hear? Number two? He the Lord hears those who fear him. Amen,

those who fear the Lord. The Lord hears those who fear him.

And that's in some one four or five. Turn to your Bible one hundred

and forty five, some hundred and forty five, and there we go.

Verse nineteen some one hundred and forty five, Verse nineteen. All right,

there he goes. He says he will fulfill the desire of those who fear

him. He also will hear there cry and save them. Operative word here

from the last verse, and this one is the word. Yeah. God

can hear, He hears us, He hears everything. But what kind of

here will he hear? What kind he hears the cry of the righteous.

He hears those who fear the Lord. Now, the fear of the Lord

is not ah, I fear. No. The fear of the Lord is

those who honor the word. Fear of the Lord is honor, the honor

of the Lord. You honor the Lord. There is the fear of the

Lord. Before you do anything, you're like, oh, I must see

what does God think about it? Those who fear the Lord, you walk

in his righteousness. You want to do the right thing. You fear the

Lord. You honor the Lord. So he will hear that cry and he

will save them. Amen. Friends, you gotta take this word today.

You gotta practice it in the week because something's gonna happen to you. And

then you don't say I don't want to do you have to say, I

cry out, I cry out to the Lord. Why because I am the

righteous of the Lord. Now. But two, I fear the Lord,

and so I will know. I know that my God will hear my cry.

How many times I've done that so many times? Every time, Gonnamara

Already, how many times that I have to deal with different people. I

know they're gonna eat me already. I have to say, Lord, help

me, Lord help me. I'm the righteous of the Lord. I fear

you. But I have to do this job. I have to confront people.

There's the worst thing to do because I'm not a confronter. Yeah,

I don't know how to confront people. Call me right. I want me

in favor with everybody. But then mind, sometimes have to confront people,

but confront with grace. But I say, Lord, you are the righteousness

in my life. Help me, Lord, you know the Lord helps us.

Yeah, yesterday I had to confront someone terrible. Okay, I don't

confront with my pastors. Okay, so but the Lord help me. Ah.

So yeah, we have to do the jobs. So when you do,

you cry out to the Lord's the Lord, I just want to do

it right, help me Jesus. And he does so number one, the

Lord hears the crowd the righteous. Number two he hears the Lord who fears

the Lord. The Lord hears those who fear the Lord. Number three someone

for five eighteen those who call upon him in truth? Who does the Lord?

Here he hears those who call upon him in truth? Hallelujah. So

there's a verse eighteen year in some one for five. Let's look at our

bibles, those who call upon him in true. If you brought your bibles,

you can look at your bibles. Thank you XTV for your kind help

as well. On screen, Here we go those who call upon him in

truth. One for five. Verse eighteen says the Lord is near to all

who call upon him, and to all who call upon him in amen.

Truth. You cannot call upon him by lying. You cannot call on the

Lord and say I try to hide, lie, I try to hide.

No, no hide anything. Just call upon him in truth. If you're

angry, say Lord, I'm angry with my sister. Okay, you just

have to admit the truth. I am jealous, j e l ees jealous.

I am jealous about that brother or the sister. You confront before the

Lord and tell him in truth and cryer and so jealous. Lord, but

why are not like that? And Lord say, don't compare because I love

you and I've given you this gifting, not like dead person. Right,

But we must tell the Lord in truth. Too many times we try to

hide our sin, hide our shyness, hide our struggles, and we don't

tell the Lord in truth. So then we don't really get the answer.

Because God hears those who call upon him in truth. You know, I

know. So sometime I try to like beat around the bush with God and

I'm like, you know, God, I feel like, yeah, but

never mind love, Yeah, we talked to God like that. We go

around and you think that the Lord doesn't know. He knows, but it's

good for your confession. Then you tell him how you really feel. And

so yeah, there are days when I'm insecure, and I say, I'm

insecure, Lord, this situation, the situation why that was light that where

ditimulated tell her, tell her, tell Jesus better than you tell someone else.

So you tell Jesus, you cry to him and you call upon him

in truth that the Lord will hear us. No need to beat around the

bush because he hears everything. He knows everything. But it's good for your

soul to confess, because when you confess, the devil will not have a

hold on you, and the more you keep he will suffer inside. Amen.

So like a by the way thing, if you're suffering from self gratification

that both both boys and girls and men and women go through that, if

you keep it it will become a giant. But if you confess it to

someone and be accountable, then your problem with pornography, masturbation, self gratification

will have to die because you've just confessed it to somebody and said the next

time you try to do it, why don't you call me? And you

have to call your Presidentian forget Hitler. I just give it up God,

gold, gold shower, cold shower. Okay, keep the phote on.

Now, this is it. When we call upon the lot in truth,

we get our breakthrough. The devil will not have a hole on us.

He ain't gonna have the right to walk into our lives because we speak the

truth, and we we just have to honor God and just speak truth.

So dead we don't have any strongholds by the devil. Too many of us

say, I can't like and help it. I can't help it. Of

course you can help it because you are a man or woman who's righteous.

Yeah, you can't help it. I can't help myself. You can why

because you are the writers of the law. If you have the Lord,

yes I do. You speak the truth? Yes I do? Then you

help yourself and God is going to come and be that strength for us.

He will hear you. You can't see I'm struggling, God, gel and

I don't think like only young boys and older men. Also, oh my

God, that girl like that? Are you what you wanna love? So

horllw howre you? She's looking like sharp? Yeah, lower and shorter?

You know what. I can't help myself. Got a Google over, don't

google turn around. Yeah, you gotta walk in truth, live in truth.

And God hears you in your struggle and he will deliver you. But

if we don't don't speak the truth, then you will be caught in a

trap and that will have a field day with our weaknesses, with our hidden

sins, with our secret sins. Yeah are you? Oh Lord? That

guy that six packs ads just walking in there. Don't go to that gym

anymore. Just don't go to that gym anymore. Okay, put on your

shirt, Okay, okay, So call upon the Lord in truth. You

need God's help. Be truth, honesty, truthfulness, and the Lord here's

your parents. Wherever that may be. It could be anything. Sometimes sometimes

you know, even moms, young moms who give birth so tough, going

through bull spotum. Sometimes even in that mys you can call on the Lord

in truth and just say I am struggling, say it and ask the Lord

help me. Lord, we go through many things people, all of us

are see here. I don't know what you are going through, but the

Lord knows. He knows. But if you can articulate it and speak it

out into the realm, then the devil won't continue to have a stronghold over

your life. Why because our God hears. He hears the cry of the

righteous. He hears the cry of those who fear the Lord, honor the

Lord to do the right thing. Number three, he hears those who call

upon Him in truth. Amen. Number four, What else does God hear?

Well, God, here's the faith full, the faith filled desperate cry.

Anyone has a faith failled desperate cry like you need it and nobody is

gonna take it from you. Well, that's what happened to the mom in

Mark chapter seven, verse twenty six to thirty. Turn to our bibles,

mark chapter seven and verse twenty six to thirty. All right, this is

the story of this woman. And she was not a Jew. She was

a Greek, a cyril Phoenician woman. All right. Now, this lady

was a Greek lady. She was not a Jew. And she heard that

Jesus was in town. And she also heard that Jesus heals. And she

had a daughter who was not well. All right. Her child had an

unclean spirit living in her, and it's probably causing a lot of complication in

her life. This lady, this lady, she came and she fell at

the feet of Jesus, and she said, Lord, I'm hungry. No

Lord, okay, somebody said I'm hungry, up parloney, all right,

she said to the Lord. As she said to the Lord, she asked

him, please cast out the demon, the unclean spirit from my child.

Imagine, Lord, Jesus, please please help me, Please take by the

power of God, cast this demon out of my child. She has an

unclean spirit. Help me, Lord. And I tell you, if this

was past to Jesus, all of you would have left his church. Why

let me tell you what he answered Jesus, says verse twenty seven. But

Jesus said to her, let the children be filled first, children, meaning

the Jews. Let the children be filled first, for it is not good

to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs. Pass to

Jesus. If I said it, you will all leave. And I've said

things like that one hundred times and people have left. No, I didn't

call them dogs. I was saying, I tell them the truth, and

the truth they cannot take. You can't handle the truth. A few good

men, you can't handle it. Give me the truth. You can't handle

truth. And that's true. Can't handle the truth because we refused to take

the truth. So he was telling her a truth in that sense. He

said, I came to save the Jews. Now you're asking me to take

that healing, to give it to you. And you are not a Jew.

And in the history of to understand the history of the Jewish people,

everyone else was special and jewa everyone else is a dog. Do you believe

that anyone did? Literature Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare, right, Shylock.

Shylock was the money lender, all right, Not sure Locke, but Shylock

in the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. Shylock tells these non Jews you are

but a dog. That's what how they spoke in the times before. And

then you think how rude, But that's how they saw themselves. Sadly God

did not want him. But Jesus was just really testing the ground. You

know what the lady answered. She had a desperate cry, how many moms,

come on? Where was Jack? Where's Jack? Jack? Jack?

There was a desperate cry with both of you. You and your are thinking,

will my child make it? Will he lose his memory forever? There

has to be a desperate cry from within. There was a fair faith feel

desperate cry where this woman said to Jesus, Lord, yet even the little

dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs. You got to read this

with some expression. She says, Lord, whatever I will take. If

she was from Texas, I will take the crumbs there are fallen from the

table. Aku Akhan mar Khan, jabisibis Roti young Jadulaylantai. Mm hmmm.

I have to wear expressions. You stay awake, right. A lot of

people tell me faster you're pushing ry good you kept me awake. I don't

know where I ministered to you, but I kept you awake. Alujah,

Okay, all right, A faith feel desperate cry. I tell you when

moms. Have you ever seen a desperate mom? They are They are stronger

than bionic men or whatever, Superman with a cape or whatever superman. All

right, when a mom is desperate, she can lift the car if a

child is under that car. And that has happened in real life because that

strength, that desperation will cause. This mom was serious. I think there

are many moms here when their child is sick. When you have a desperate

need, you will cry out. God sees the faith filled desperate cry.

Are you desperate? Sometimes we're probably not desperate enough, so we don't exercise

our faith and we just ye're like, God, you're in health. Help

no, no, don't give him an option. You have to help me.

You are my father God. A faith filled desperate cry. Have we

ever? I think many of us have been there. We're desperate. We

need a breakthrough, whether it's healing, whether it's our job, whether it's

our business where there's a relationship, whether it's our nation. We cry out

to the Lord with desperation, not just with desperation. But there's faith in

it. Faith there is filled overflowing, and we say, Lord, even

if it's the crumbs, I will take it because I need my child to

be healed. What is your desperate cry? Add the faithfulness filled, faith

filled into your desperate crime, say Lord, need that help. Now.

It may not turn the way you want the answers, but let God hear

your faith feel desperate cry, because that's written in God's word. And I

take his word as is. And Jesus says for this saying, he says,

go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter. That

woman's faith declared healed her daughter. God saw that faith. He didn't even

walk up and say, okay, let me pray for a child. That

faith attracted Jesus so much. He just said the word right now, your

daughter is healed. And she was healed. I want that. I want

to experience that, but I need to have a faith, feel desperate cry

on that need. And many times we toss, you know, like children

tossing to and so don't toss. Take God at his word and let him

work that miracle and let him move in your life. Amen, this is

who this is what he hears. He hears faith filled desperate cry. Because

when we are desperate, we go through all all you know ways to get

it done, it all measures. This mom knew there was no one else

who could deliver her child from this unclean spirit. She's tried everything, but

she said, Lord, even if you gave me the crumbs, listen,

guys, you have more then crumbs. You have Jesus living in you.

Isn't that powerful? Jesus lives in us, but we forget that he's living

with us. Bry the Holy Spirit, and so many times that is where

I cry out to the Lord. I don't have it easy, friends,

I don't have it easy, have many many challenges, many different things,

leading a church, leading my own family. It's not easy when where really

when things go hard? My marriage can now a lot of times. So

what do I do? Cry out to Jesus. Don't complain to your husband.

He can't hear because he's angry with you. So you cry to Jesus.

I know he's your foundings in your pastor but yes, we're very real

people. We go to the hard times, we go to fun times,

we go to good times, and we go to you know, challenging times.

Because the enemy never lets us go. We will wake us left right,

and we will not say okay, just wake me like come or hit

me with you. No, no need to hit me. I pray,

say, get your hands off me. This is my marriage, this is

my husband. Get out of my life. But sometimes you have to tarry.

So with the desperate crime, faith filled desperate cry. Lord, only

you and he will move in our bins. Amen, hallelujah. Anybody in

the house, Amen, come out. Jesus is alive. He's living.

He is living, not just in the air. He's living here in us

by the Holy Spirit. That's who we serve. A living God, the

living Word lives in us faithly faith. He hears faith, the voice of

faith, who takes the under the authority of Christ. All right, I

wrote it. This wait is my deduction faith in the authority of Christ.

So Matthew chapter eight. And looking at verse five to ten, Matthew,

as we turn to Matthew chapter five, this is the Roman centurion. This

is the Roman centurion. A centurion means he had one hundred soldiers under him.

All right. He was serving in the Roman army, and he had

one hundred soldiers under him. Now he has one hundred soldiers. But look

at what why he comes to Jesus and says, so the centurion, all

right now, Jesus entered Caponium, and a centurion came to him. This

is why, he says in verse five, and was pleading with him.

This is the Roman centurion, the captain of one hundred soldiers a century hundred.

And he said, my lord, my servant is lying at home,

paralyzed, dreadfully tormented. And Jesus said to you, now, this is

a different story. Ready here, Jesus said, okay, okay, I

will come. I will come and hear him just now. The lady she

said, I'll give you the crumbs. Oh my word. Foo okay,

So he says Jesus, this is the kind of pass of Jesus you like,

because he comes now. So there's the time. He said, oh

come now, and this amazing Romans captain said, no, stop right now,

thank you very much, thank you very much. Heady okay ahi,

not your time. You were not born okay, fine, all of you

look at me like I'm not born yet, not born yet, okay,

all right, faving authority of Christ. So the Romans centurion says, no,

Lord, I am not worthy that you would come to my come under

my roof, but only speak the word. Come on, say speak the

word hallelujah. That's why I ask you speak the word. When we open

our mouth and speak the word, something happens. And he says, jeez.

This man said, you just speak the word and my servant will be

healed. And Jesus like took a step back, go like, whoa.

He was impressed by the syrophenician woman. Now he's impressed by this man,

going like, whoa, you don't need me to come. You don't want

me to come. You're not having me for tea. No, Lord,

I'm not worthy. Just speak the word and my servant will be healed.

This captain must really love this soldier so much. He must mean a lot.

Hello, you got one hundred here? What is one for? Low?

One soldier said, Let him get heal, let him rest. No,

he cannot rest. Maybe he's a slave driver, all right, he

said, no, cannot. He needs to be healed now because he's paralyzed

and he's tormented. Maybe he's full of compassion. Poor thing, my servant,

my soldier, whichever way you want to see it. And Jesus says

I'll come. But yet this and children has hurt on the testimony of Jesus

and said, Lord, I'm not worthy, just like how I take authority

and I'm under authority, and I tell them go you go, come,

you come. Jesus, you are the son of God. I mean,

he's recognizing him as someone with power. And he says, Lord, you

just say the word, and I believe my servant will be healed. Jesus

said, whoa woe. I have not found such great faith in all of

Israel. And he says, well, go your way, because as you

have believed, so let it be done for you. And that servant was

healed that very hour. I want that law you wander and not because the

Bible is not just to rida do lagandhaya. The Bible is reality, is

real, and we so are so often not take hold of that truth.

I want to experience it. I want to live it and continue to seek

God that way on a daily basis. And that's when you begin to see

those miracles or you see how He moves for you in the most difficult circumstances.

He says, I've never seen such faith. And this I call it

the faith that is in the authority or under the authority of Christ. He

hears your cry when you understand what it is to come under authority of Christ,

and you begin to speak the word into your circumstances, into your health,

into your your you know, your business, into your family life,

into your children, circumstance, into a sickness. You stand in authority,

and you hear the Lord hears you because he knows that you get it,

that I'm under the authority of Christ. I will speak the word over my

circumstances. Is it my poverty, is it my accident? Is it you

know, I'm really going through a really big storm in my life. You

speak, you begin to speak, don't speak once, come and speak again

and again and again. I kid you not. When I had a problem

with my womb, what they would say, No, you call these guyy

O and Geez will call it. You have to remove your womb. I

said, WHOA, No, I'm still young. It's possibly I could still

have kids, like I'm trying. I'm trying. They say, okay,

but I'm telling you there's nothing we can do. I just remove it.

He is, ollo, this is my body part. You can't tell me

remove it. Right, So it was just the bleeding issue kept bleeding.

A lady okay, man too much information okay, and there was a this,

and I tell you, I don't know. Doctors don't have the answer.

They just eliminate, okay, So thank you, you tell me what's

my problem? So a desperate cry, not only a desperate cry that's full

of faith. There was an authority that rose up. I spoke into my

womb and I commanded that issue of the blood to stop, and that all

of my homones whatever, got to align itself to the word of God.

How long did it take. It didn't take a day. It took me

months. But I just kept declaring, and I kept speaking into my body

and brought it under the authority of Christ and just smoke it and spoke it

until I don't know, even when when I realized it's over done, doctor

said I can't find the cis whoa thank you Jesus, he hears a desperate

guy, he hears that a faith under authority. I took authority over that

CEIs, over that growth, over that issue. But it didn't. So

if you don't happen today tomorrow, you give up. No, you just

say no. I am a child of God. That's what I said.

When they told me there's a sister. I said, cannot be. You

say why I'm a child of God. I'm like, cannot So what I

do? I rember you Jesus forgive me. Get all my sins out first.

This is my sin, you know, was quickly conversed on my sin.

O case, it's not my sin, okay, not not seeing attack

of the enemy come against my body? Right, I don't care. It's

not so prailler. You're speaking to it. It took me months, more

than a year, but the Lord brought the deliverance. Sometimes it just takes

a while. Your body don't understan't listen. You have to speak to it.

La. You keep speaking and don't give up. I spoke to it

because there's life. This is a living body. Is not a piece of

pleasure. It's living. So I spoke to it. Bow in Jesus name,

I had to I. The doctor always said, you remove your womb.

That's it. That's the best answer, I said, Man of Pusse

coming long time more. You know, I think I can keep it la

A few times a bit long lit a long time open. It's not gonna

happen that soon. So yeah, but how are you you still the situation?

How how I pray to you told me, okay, you pray and

I prayed and I told him, see I pray, the SESU is gone.

Yay. Yeah, I know. He kept saying, no, no,

no, I still see something that I said, Nolah, don't have

ready, Thank you Jesus. I'm well. I just had to believe because

I'm desperate. I don't want to remove anything that doesn't need to be removed

yet forever. Amen, hallelju So God, here's the faith and under the

authority of Christ, Come on church. These are five points for you to

encourage you that God does here. Where are you at? You're the righteous

of the Lord. He hears the he hears the cry of the righteous.

He hears the cry of those who fear the Lord. Means you do the

right thing, honor the Lord, do the right things. Don't go and

say wrong and do other things. I expect God to hear. Fairy hard,

you're not opening your door. So the devil will have a foothole in

your life and you will. You will come and you know haunt you call

upon the lodd and truth speaking truth be honest. Just come clean before the

Lord. You did it, You did it, then you just confess before

the Lord. If the Lord have asked you to confess with someone who's your

future leader, doing it because you don't want the devil to hold you down.

Faith, feel desperate cry. You got a desperate cry full of faith.

The Lord hears. And when you understand the faith that it's under authority,

your submit to under authority of Christ. You speak the word of God

and he hears you. I tell you, we all have can go through

this. Many of you have experienced it as well. You know that he

hears your crime. Amen, I have a verse for you. First John,

chapter five, verse fourteen to fifteen. First John, chapter five,

verse fourteen to fifteen. Now this is the confidence that we have in him

Jesus, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

Amen. Oh, if you ask anything according to his will. So

you gotta ask, what is God's will? Jan jan jang little we find

out, Okay, he hears us. And if we know that he hears

us whatever we ask, we know that we have the petition, we have

that prayer all right, and that we have asked of him. So our

faith is at work. Now that's the that's the exciting and how to say

unexplainable about our faith in Christ. It is a faith walk with Jesus.

And I cannot predict you that it will happen this way, this way again,

the same way that happened for you will happen for me. But that

faith will carry us a man. Remember, faith is the currency of heaven,

and you want to please God. Faith is where it pleases him.

So sometimes you say like, oh, come on, God, need it

for me. I like I saw bodolet that. I just know something is

your small cry. And so Lord, okay, can I have the ice

cream? Okay, I give you ice cream? Right? Because He hears

the faith and anything. Amen. Now I have another questions. Okay,

I have this confidence, Yeah, that God hears you when you asked according

to his will. Amen. Keep that verse one John five fourteen to fifteen.

Memorize he God has got your back. Amen. Amen, God has

got your back. Harlee lujah. But we gotta ask, and then we

gotta believe, and we gotta trust. Because He is the father wants to

do the best he he can for us. It's also up to us to

participate with Jesus. Then I have another question for you. This is the

jang jang jing put? So what else does God here? So? What

else does God here? Because here's all these things really like? Good?

Okay? What else does God here? Jang? All right, God,

here's the next life. Thank you, actuvy God. Here's our complaints and

murmurings. A God, here's our complaints and murmurings ever complained before? Don't

lay no raise of your head, oh my godment Ladela, that's one of

my great Lordela, my hate master, Ladella ah am, my school Lodella.

Complaints and murmurings is what God hears. So this morning we want to

learn what it is that we should not do, because once we find out

what God also hears and how he responds, then it should put us on

back on track to say, okay, God, how do we do this?

Right? Okay? Complaint and murmurings is what God? Here's everybody say,

Man, here's our complaints and murmurings. Now again depends how we look

at it. All right now. Exodus chapter sixteen. As you turn to

Exodus chapter sixteen, this is the story of the children of Israel who had

just crossed the Red Sea. Anybody cross the Red Sea? No, yeah,

no, we never crossed the Red Sea before red water got loave pinned

red seed. I've never crossed the Red Sea before? Have you crossed the

Red Sea? Only the children of Israel. That is in the history,

that is in the heritage that God did this amazing miracle that they crossed the

Red Sea. Because God saw them in slavery in Egypt for four hundred and

fifty years and he said, it's time for you to move out to Canaan

Land again. It's not the bookstore. You're going to the Promised land,

flowing with milk and honey, slavery, milk and honey cross the Red Sea.

And they just did it. They didn't cross the Red Sea with muddy

muddy, you know mud. If you read Exodus thirteen fourteen, it was

dry ground and the water parts it in the middle, with a wall this

way and a wall that way. And the whales was waving at them,

you know, the dolphins were waving at them as they marched whole night and

it was dry ground. Wow, God made a wind and Moses lifted up

his hand the ground the water parted. So this is a miracle. Of

a miracle, supernatural. They've really gone through that. They should be like

whoa, whoa, whoa. And then the water closes in. So they

crossed it and they're walking now in the well, I guess, wilderness.

And then this is what happens. It's as if they thought, God,

don't call her. So they were journeying already half somewhere, you know,

just around the second month, only the second month, okay, of the

they just left the Red Sea. And then verse two, taking you through

it, he says, the whole congregation of the children of Israel. You

say it, Eloud, I can hear you against Moses and Aaron in the

wilderness. Now they complain, all right, they said, oh, we

should have just died. Yeah, we shuld have just died in the land

of Egypt, and where we sat by the pots of meat, plungeon meat,

and we ate bread to the full sour dough. And for you have

brought us out into this wilderness to kill us, the whole ass family,

we're all hungry, are here to kill us like this in the wilderness.

And the Lord heard it. He heard it, and look what he says.

In verse four. He says, he said to Moses, I will

rain bread from heaven for you. The people will go out and gather a

certain quote every day, and I may test them whether they will walk in

my Lord or not, et cetera. So God actually heard that complain.

But in verse eight, verse seven, person, he says, and in

the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, for he hears your

complaints against the Lord. But what are we? What are we, Moses

and Aaron, that you complain against us? And Moses said, this shall

be seen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening and in

the morning bread to the full. For the Lord hears your complaints which you

make against him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us,

but against the Lord. So when we complain against anybody of authority,

whether it's mom and Dad, whether it's our bosses, whether it's our nation

leaders, whether it's our pastors, leaders, elders, if we continue to

complain, actually we're complaining against God because we're saying, you don't know who

you put against over us. And the Lord does not like complaining. One

He cannot behind murmuring. If you read through all this, he says,

you know I've heard I've heard so many times. See the Lord can hear.

He hears all the five things I told you, But he also heard

and heard and heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. All right,

First one, this is when they say we have no food, we're going

to die. As if God was going to let them die. No,

he wouldn't. If he brought them out, they can trust him. How

many Israelites were there? Anybody? How many Israelites were there marching out of

Egypt? Anybody number? Give me a number. Anybody knows how many?

Five thousand? Right, only men alone. We did the count. He

can do the count in numbers, six hundred thousand men from the age of

twenty years and above. Men only was six hundred thousand, and the men

were probably married. So let's say you had another six hundred thousand women,

so then one million, two and then there were children, and then were

children under twenty years old, young people, and then there were the their

slaves, okay, the people who followed them who were not Jews. So

they gave a rough count that there were two million people. No sound system.

I don't know how they passed the message out. No loudhailer, no

handphone. By the way, how did Moses give instructions like march half?

There's two million people? Right, I really marvel? How did the wood

get like now? March forf she wan? The message were broken? Telephone

somewhere much way much where? Yeah, all broken? Ready the light but

two million people roughly cross the red seat. Two million people are now in

the wilderness worrying. Well, Heaven can hear you? Know, Heaven?

God, I get Denise. I like to say tinyong'an ah, Oh your

pa, God can see son? You can't neither kan so so Curlien right,

all right, God can hear praise Lord? Al okay, so God,

God, here's God. Here's your murmurings. Here's our murmurings. Number.

I want to show you the other memory. I have time to show

everything, but numbers. Come on. Turn to numbers, Chapter eleven.

What happened in numbers? Chapter eleven and verse one to six numbers. I'm

taking you through. I'm giving you the keys of the case. Them here.

Friends, you want to breakthrough, you want to walk in victory.

These are keys that we all of us need to turn so then we don't

get trapped and like to by the devil who doesn't want us to look at

Jesus numbers eleven, chapter numbers eleven, verse one, Chapter eleven, verse

one. Now look at this verse. Yoh whoa. Now when the people

complain, it displease the Lord. For the Lord hurd it friends, God,

God displeased. He cannot Hunnah complaining on. You know, like some

men in life, are you my wife? I always complaining? Or she's

nagging me? Right? Yeah? From the men who tell me, are

you my wife nagging? Mela negging you on through the rubbish, trueller every

day, tell me through the trash, Truella nigging? Listen, you know?

Then they don't like her husbands, they don't let me closes off.

I cannot. It doesn't work, so I have to love. Okay.

So here we are complaining and God heard it, and it displeased the Lord

because he heard it. Do you want God to be displeased with you?

We don't. I don't want God to be displeased. But actually I'm displeasing

him him all the time, displeasing him all the time because I'm complaining,

or maybe I'm murmuring, maybe I'm gossiping. Same thing it is murmuring.

My gossiping is murmuring about somebody else who didn't do what you want or you

didn't like their face, So whoaw the one? No chances? God send

fire and burned them. You know how nice? How you feel like that

that person there them? Right now, right now, right now? Thenk

God Jesus, never give us this such power, because there will be burning

up each other's house, like getting islands on fire yesterday, like oh boom

boom. No cannot cannot all right, must be fair, one by one,

one by one now, I don't care, yeah, don't fight one

short, okay? All right? So he sent this byre any Burdon.

He couldn't fine already, so they all cried out to Moses again. They

all talked to Moses, and then Moses prayed to the Lord and the fire

was quenched. God hurt Moses's pray, okay. So the next thing they

complained was all to eat la They never eat you, okay, you God

know me to eat, know me to eat. I want to eat it,

and I want to eat them beef. I don't know what I want

to eat la meat. So they complain again. Of course, they had

this other group that won't juice. They were like so the children is you're

also wept, you know, wet, you know. Can you imagine your

child weeping moment? Give me mag Donalds like I'm giving you roast chicken,

I cook for you. No, I want magnoves now right. This is

what they're doing. They wept, and they cried, I want it,

I want it now. So our children beavelet it. No, some of

us behave like I want it. I want it now. That woman then

you say, son, that that girl is not for you. I don't

care. I want it. I want her now. That girl is mine.

Sorry, la lost it not for you? So he said, we

remember the fish that we eat, and the garlic comfit garlic and cu cumber.

I don't like cucumber all right, and nelons and leaks, oh yummy,

and onions. Wha Now we eating? What said? So they say

no verse six. But now our whole being is right up, curling contown,

and there's nothing except this manna, this dry bread. I think we

complained that it. Sometimes all you gave me is this person. So we

talk sometimes we cried what McDonald and they said, you you can't imagine.

They actually said it. Look, we're all dried up corn on new book.

They've been walking, same Nike shoes, Yeah, same ADI does T

shirt. It never tare their shoes, never grew broke nothing for forty years.

Never they wore the same Nike shoes and the same ADDI does T shirt

and never tak They grew with it. The T shirt grew with them.

That was the miracle. Reading in Deuteronomy chapter six. They walked for forty

years. Some died along away, but they died with the T shirt on

them. They never grow no holes. That was the miracle that that's why

it's supernatural. God would if he would take you out, he will get

you through it. He will provide. And they couldn't see it. And

they complained to the point and saying, look at us, we're all dried

up, which is not true exaggeration. I'm so hungry I could die.

No, I'll tell you what the students tell me. When I do universities

and talk to them, they tell me, you know, yeah, don't

get angrier when any years want to close closels, citeacher or whatever. I'm

miss miss, I say what I would say. No, I can't tell

you what I experience all the time. How al I eighteen so yeah,

we need sex. So there you know we need it. You need sex.

I read you need water. Sex is by the way when you get

married. No, no, get the bullyingberg clo. I need it.

No you want it? You need water? Shall I do it? Nigerian?

I tell you you need water, don't tell me you need it.

Come on, babel my fire. How are you if I study master's until

I know how old naughty you? So I need the sex now, so

rear close. Yes, I'm dealing with students in campus. I call you

verses. They tell me this boys, so them really then they're like,

you need water, boy, you need water. Sex you can live without.

It's an extrowny and then you can only have it best best way to

have it, get married. So I'm telling you guys, they were saying,

we're dried up. We need the meat. Now, that's not true.

He gave them angel food from heaven and they're saying, that's all you

gave me? Is this dry stand in my mouth? It was not.

It was bread. So friends, are we complaining and saying that's all you

gave us? God? God cannot respond to complaints, murmurings, gossip.

What does God hear it? Displeases him. I want you to catch something

because it's gonna be health for us, health in our bodies, health in

our health, our health, our health. Friends. That's why when I

had I got to see some like checking myself hundred time. What did I

see? Did I have unforgiveness? Did I complain against God? Did I

do what I had to go before the lawd I don't wonder. I don't

want anything that DEVI will have on me. I want to be clear.

These complaints were against them, now all right now? In John six and

John James five, John chapter six, they complain about They complain, complain

about Jesus because why Jesus said, I am the living bread, you have

to partic of me. They said, that's cannibalism. We cannot eat well.

Would God ask us to do cannibalism? But Jesus teaching them that I

will give my life on the cross. And they complain. And in John

chapter six, forty one of forty three, verse forty three, Jesus said,

stop murmuring. Jesus said, stop complaining. Don't murmur among yourselves.

Stop it, because you are calling a curse on your own life. It

has to happen. James five nine. James five nine says it is don't

grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned or judged. Behold,

the judge is already standing at the door. Don't grumble against one another,

against our family, our brothers, our sisters, our parents, whatever

authority over us, God places authority over us, like it or not Romans

Romans, chapter thirteen. He places authority over us. Be careful what we

say, because let me move quickly. What happens when we murmur? What

happens? Number one, we lose sight of God's plan. The children of

Israel lost sight of God's plan. They were going to Canaan land, from

Egypt to Canaan. They lost sight. They just complain and they complain,

and they complain they couldn't see God's promises for them. I think we're all

guilty of some point where we complain and complain we lost sight of God's beautiful

plan for our lives. Come on, Church, It will cause us because

we are focusing on the thing that we don't like. Then we forgot to

see the big picture or the picture that God has for you. You have

He says, I have a great plan for you. But you're complaining,

why didn't I get you know, tailors? Why why did I get universe

similated? Why did I get this this for my future studies? Why didn't

I get that? Yah, I'm drying up now. You lose sight that

God saying, no, let me guide you one step at a time.

Because he hears the righteous, he hears those who fear the Lord, he

hears those who cry to him in truth. He hears the desperate cry full

of faith. He hears the cry of faith that's under authority. You've got

that already. He's got your back. But we murmur, we will lose

sight of God's blend. Sorry, no time to fully elaborate, but that's

what happened to the children Israel. They lost sight of it that when God

said, go and seek out the land. This is the land filled flowing

milk and honey. Twelve spies went in. Only two came back, Joshua

and Caleb. What did they say? It's a Actually they all said it's

a good land, but only two say we can take this mountain. But

the rest said, you're we're all gonna die because there's giants out there.

And then you know, Caleb said, no, we can do this.

God is for us. He already gave us the victory. They said,

no, we ain't gonna do it. Two million people rose up against God's

word, so so rebellion didn't just start. It's not a long time ago.

They said no, and that broke God's heart and that's it. We'll

see what happens now. We number two, we lose sight of God's plan.

Number one. Number two, we allow doubt to rule, doubt when

we should be having the faith of God that he can't do this. God

is with us. We will allowed doubt to rule instead of faith. Number

three, we let unbelieved to continue to grow. That's what happened to the

children of Israel. They continue to speak, cannot a lock God giants like

cannot a lock God giants are so then they infiltrated to the whole two million

and say, yeah, we can't. We're gonna stone Moses and Aaron.

We're not going to that land because no way, we cannot. We cannot

unbelieve begin to grow. And then lastly, we invite adversity or curse us

to come upon us. How because this is what they said in numbers fourteen.

As they complain in numbers fourteen when they were supposed to go in numbers

fourteen. The Lord then said to them, okay, firse twenty seven.

The Lord said, numbers fourteen twenty seven. So this is the whole discourse.

They weren't talking, no can like and nola AoE tauble a tuble lay.

And then the Lord said, okay, how long shall I bear with

this evil generation who complain against me? I heard the complaints. Okay,

it's against me. So this is what's going to happen. He said,

The caucasses of you who have complained against me shall fall in shall fall in

the wilderness. All of you were numbered according to your entire number from twenty

years old and above, except for Caleb and Joshua. According so he says

that you shall fall, they just call on themselves according to your entire number

from twenty years old, meaning they could not finish that race. The proclamation

of them was that the early already said, well, you want us to

die, here is it? You want us to die? Here is it?

And so as they spoke it, it became reality for them. They

actually died in the As they walked on, they grew older, they grew

older and then lifespan. They just died in the wilderness. So only those

twenty years and below grew up and lived on because they complained terribly against the

Lord. Friends, we really need to jug out. We say to the

Lord, how we say it? All right? He hears us, and

then he says, just as you wanted it, that's how it's going to

be. I will just give in to what you spoke. What are we

speaking into our life circumstances? Because there's life and death in our tongue,

right, it's Proverbs, right, there's death and life in our tongue.

What are we speaking eighteen twenty one Death and life are in the power of

the tongue, and they begin to continue to speak death. So sometimes we

need to watch and God our heart and our what we're saying over our children,

over our jobs, over our own lives. Sometimes we yeah, jokingly

we might saylor are your dialah, But no, every day is a dilah,

because then there will be a dead end for us. We need to

declare God's word that we are righteous of the Lord. We have the fear

of God that he hears truth, that he hears our desperate crime. We

have a need he hears us that we learn to speak under the authority of

Christ and declare over our circumstances. Come on, Church, these are keys

that we ought to hold on to. Amen. We will lose sight of

God's plan. We allow doubt to rule instead of faith. We let unbelieved

to grow. We end up inviting adversity over our lives. Crisus, because

we are declaring death over our lives. And I I have to say it.

I've done that sometimes as well, because sometimes it's too big, the

problem is too great, the challenge is too difficult, and you just declare

the words out of just not doing that frustration, rather than stopping for a

while. That's why it's good to stop. Praise God, worship the Lord.

In the place of worship, the Holy Spirit will bring light to our

circumstances and cast our eyes upon Jesus. Amen. So what should we do

Church? Instead of murmuring when you're in the troup, when you're really in

a storm. Number one, put on the garment of praise. Come and

put on the garment of praise, because opposite of murmuring is praise praise God.

Thank God. Right, praise God. Put on the garment of praise

in exchange it for the garment of heaviness. Right, exchange it. Put

on the garment of praise. Too many times we put on the wrong government.

Right when you go Partimus, want the right dress, right, bay

jee, and see the king, you put on the right bay jee.

All right? When you go play spots, you put on. So when

we are in the storm, when things are really difficult and challenging, put

on the garment of praise. Find something the praise God for. If you

can't even say thank you for your health and it's good now, thank you

for my mom and dad, thank you for whatever, then just say God,

thank you that your mercies are new every morning. Thank you Lord that

you chose me something to praise God for. Praise. Put on praise as

a garment. Put it on as a garment. Don't put on complaints.

All right. Secondly, that was in Isaiah sixty one to three. Secondly,

gratitude and thanksgiving. I love this verse and this is the verse that

you all need to memorize because because or what it says. Come on.

Let's turn to first Thessalonians five eighteen, and it says in everything give for

this is the will, Come on guys, the will of God is to

give thanks when it is God's will. You as where's God's wheela? Should

I eat apple today? Should I climb mount everest? God's will is to

give thanks in the midst of your storm. Give thanks this time not happening.

My boss reads the road to me. I read that difficult boss.

I give thanks. Thank you Jesus for my difficult boss. Thank you Jesus

for my difficult whatever. Oh, thank you Lord that the door is closed,

but you will open the door for me to get that scholarship. I

thank you Lord that you will open that door. Because this is what scripture

says. Paul writes and says in everything, in everybody, say everything.

I'm reminding myself everything everything, your health, your finances, your marriage,

your relationship, your children, your job, your circumstances, whatever it is.

In everything. Don't complain because you will invite adversity. It's like that

it's in the realm. But instead give thanks night, Thank you Lord,

you are in control, because this is the will of God. If you

say I don't know what's the will of God, there's one thing you know.

Give thanks, stop murmuring, Amen, Harlee Lujah, And then the

last one. The third one is conversations that build up. Speak conversations that

bring life. Emphesions five, Chapter nineteen, Chapter five or nineteen twenty one

says, speak to one another in spiritual songs, in psums, in hymns,

not asking you to sing over each other. Hello, Eunie, I

bless you the thing over. I'm just declaring. Build up conversations that build

up. Find always something to compliment people, find something. I'm sure learning

this. We come out, we complain like you like this, our mouth

fum so used to that. Complain more, you know, like yello that

things. I catch myself thinking I have to have something better to say.

Why am I saying negative things? I should have something in opening conversation.

Don't say y'alla yo Elbert giving me a headache. No, I have to

find something because that is what it says. Ephicients five speak to one another

in hymns, in spiritual songs, building up conversations. Try to find conversations

that will build up. Instead of cursing our nation, rise up and bless

your nation. If not, you will remain down and in the dumps,

and you want to migrate. I just had a conversation with someone who just

my greats. And they said it is tough. Why did we ever move?

I said, I don't know. But give it a go before you

make any decision. It's not easy. But give thanks Amen, and build

up conversations, conversations that encourage, conversations that build up this hopefulness. Four

flee Please God more than anything, if there's anything, please God. Because

Hebrews Chapter eleven and verse six. Hebrews Chapter eleven, verse six, This

church is inundated with faith. Your senior foundings in your past lives by faith.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. And he who comes

to God must believe that He is and that He is the rewarder of those

who diligently seek him. Please God, whatever it is, please God,

no matter what, more than anything, you want, Please God. How

to please God? Faith? Right? You walk in faith? Don't know

what tomorrow looks like. Before you curse it, before you say negative,

you say, can Lord lead me? Psalm twenty five. He says,

show me your way, So Lord, teach me your past, Lead me

in your truth. You are the God of my salvation. I will wait

on you all the day, you Lord. I don't know where to go.

But Lord show me your ways. This is a good prayer to pray.

Find it in Psth twenty five, verse four, verse five. Wow,

God lead me instead of saying, are your date Eddler this morning?

I wake up date Eddler? Oh you're gonna face those kids together. You

gotta find the joy, find those good things. So before anything else.

Please God more than anything, because he loves you. It's Father's Day and

we have a good good Father God. I have no complaints about my heavenly

Father, who has picked me up more than seven times for all my failures.

I have nothing to complain because when I was down and out, when

I sinned against him, he forgave me Our Father. God knows your need.

But you gotta exercise your faith. Please God more than anything. Amen.

So far things to build on. Put on the garment of praise,

Praise God, give thanks right gratitude. In the church, we are very

lacking in gratitude and thanksgiving of each other and of our leaders. Very lacking.

We keep finding fault with one another because we expect each other to be

perfect. We are being made perfect. We are work in progress. Faster

we can more faster, say things like I'm sorry I forgot, I was

careless. Forgive me gratitude, Thank you, just grateful for you being in

our myths, being in my life. Sometimes we also take our spouses for

grantson thank you for being my wife or being my husband, because there's no

other who will live with you until death to us part. But in between

men, there will be storms because God changes us thanksgiving gratitude. Thirdly,

conversations that build up. Conversations that build up encouragement, positivity, not just

positive words, the word of God. Type of conversations speak life, not

death. Please God more than anything. More than anything you do, please

God. And as you please God, let him watch him work on your

behalf. And I leave you with Malachi chapter three and verse sixteen. I

love this verse and I want to share it with you if you've never heard

it before. When I first heard it, I was like, WHOA.

Then those who fear the Lord, How many people fear the Lord? Yeah?

Amen? Then those who fear the Lord spoke to one another, spoke

to one another, and the Lord listen, God listens to our conversations.

Can you believe it? God fathers to listen to our conversations. Megan,

that was Blue Rooms Hey, how was the sand? Did you eat it?

Now? The children eat it? No, what happened? What happened?

And we talked and God listens and he heard them. Now, depending

on what you're speaking, A book of remembrance was written before him for those

who fear the Lord who meditate on his name. Wow, not just anything,

yel who meditate on his name? Oh, I feel it. But

God listens. In our fellowship time small grooves, I call you our gossip

group, but don't gossipm We talk about things that will build up that God

hears. He hears, and the Book of Remembrance angels are writing for those

who fear the Lord and who meditate on his name. I leave that with

you because the Lord listen. Go leave this place knowing that God hears.

He hears you. But I don't want you to just say he hears everything.

I want you to know what he hears. He hears the cry of

the righteous, Come on. He hears the crow of the one who fears

the Lord. He hears them who speak the truth call out to him in

truth. He hears you when you desperately cry out full of faith. He

hears you when you have a faithful understanding and you speak under authority. Praise

God. He hears our murmurs and complaints. How we go, he will

still answer us, except that when we continue to mama and complain, he

will be very sad. It's heartbroken, displeased, and we don't want to

do that. We want to put on the governor Praise Amen. We want

to have gratitude and thanksgiving Ala Lujah. We want to build up conversation,

have conversations that build up, and we want to please God more than anything.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on our
