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

  2. will light up your tea, that all may know God is God. The

  3. world seems to think that they are God, you know, but never let

  4. us forget that God is God, and we need to recognize that because we

  5. are not. We're not God. God is God and we're not God.

  6. So in Daniel four seventeen, it says this decision is by the decree of

  7. the watchers and the sentence by the word of the Holy Ones, in order

  8. that the living may know that the most High God or the most High rules

  9. in the Kingdom of Men, gives it to whom whoever he will, and

  10. sets it over the lost of men. You know, when I was reading

  11. this, I was thinking of Nebo, you know, old Nebu. I

  12. tried spelling his name. I couldn't. So, you know, a s

  13. telling Pastor. You know, I was sharing with Pastor what I was going

  14. to share this money, and you know, when it came to that part

  15. where I was writing, you know, I'm going to talk a little bit

  16. about Nebo, I couldn't spell it, so I just put Nebo and Okay,

  17. Neb. Now he was a guy that ruled everything. He had power

  18. beyond power. He had riches beyond riches he had. You know, you

  19. don't mess around with old Nebu, all right, he was a hard guy.

  20. If you messed around with Nebu, you might lose your head, You

  21. might get fed to lions. H you may be put to death for not

  22. worshiping him. But you see, Neble forgot one thing. Nebu forgot one

  23. thing. He forgot that God is God and he is not. And God

  24. decided to make an example of nebukaness. So you know what he did.

  25. He made Nebul can live in the field and eat grass for seven years.

  26. I mean the guy didn't bathe. He must have stunk like a cow.

  27. Right, imagine his hair. It would have been matted, you know,

  28. it would be horrible. And then I can just imagine his fingernails. How

  29. long have you tried growing your fingernails for seven years without cutting it? No?

  30. Yeah, exactly? And eating grass? How many of us know that

  31. the grass outside is not always so very clean because other animals think that the

  32. grass is one big toilet. And Neighbooknas was eating that grass, the grass

  33. that other animals stood on and trampled on. You know when I got saved.

  34. I got saved in nineteen seventy nine. It was in a small church.

  35. It was hot, in fact, it was hot in a palm oil

  36. estate. It was a hot in a part the PASTA took me there because

  37. that was the outreach, and that's where I got saved. Okay. And

  38. we had to walk, you know, some distance to get to that hut.

  39. And that place was booby trapped by cows. Yeah, there was poopy

  40. trapped. There's a poopy trap everywhere. And you think, when your eyes

  41. open, you'd miss it and you won't stand on it. But if they

  42. are there all the time, if you're not standing there, you're standing there,

  43. the glass is grown. But when you stand you get in it.

  44. That was how many of us want to live, that kind of life before

  45. God, that we think that we are God and instead we are like some

  46. animal feeding out there in the field. Because it's one in the same thing.

  47. Man, it's one in the same thing. So you think you live

  48. in a nice fancy house without God. You know how God looks at you

  49. if you have rejected Him for your riches, you are like Nebu. You're

  50. like a cow, unwashed and unbathed. In seven years with long fingernails eating

  51. grass out in the field that cows poop. On the condition of the world

  52. today, Let's have a look at the condition of the world today. Hey,

  53. everywhere you turn, there are wars. Man, do you know why

  54. we have wars? Because God said that there would be wars? And rumors

  55. are wars. Never forget whatever God says happened. And God said that,

  56. do you know how close we are to oblivion? Just to let you know

  57. that Israel intends to attack Ralpha? Is that the place? Okay, he

  58. intends to They intend to attack Rappha? What did Biden say? If you

  59. attack Ralpha, we will come against you. You know that one of the

  60. final prophecies is that the whole world will turn against Israel. Do we know

  61. why this war is happening? Yeah we do, and yes we don't.

  62. Are we supposed to get involved in the dynamics of the war? No,

  63. what the scriptures say. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Do you know

  64. why when Jerusalem is safe, we are safe. When Jerusalem is at peace,

  65. the world is at peace. Hey, you've got to understand what God

  66. is trying to say. So how close are we in case you don't know

  67. Iran threatened is real? Do you think they will carry out that threat?

  68. Probably not. The reason they won't carry out that thread is because Iran has

  69. got three oil field, three refineries, very very important refineries to its economy.

  70. All it takes for their economy to be crippled is for those three definery

  71. refineries to be destroyed, and then they have no income. Do you know

  72. for all the rhetoric that they see against the US, they have to ask

  73. the US permission before they can send a response against what happened in that embassy.

  74. Do you know that? And there will be some kind of response which

  75. Israel be prepared for and Iran it's all too sayest Do you know that behind

  76. the scenes, that's what governments do, wars and rumors or wars. You

  77. better pay attention because the world is heading to a place that is speaking of

  78. the second coming of Jesus Christ that all may know Jesus is coming again.

  79. You better believe it. You know, it's not a message that people speak

  80. of very often now, But when I first became a Christian, it was

  81. like Jesus is coming the next day. We lived like that for thirty years,

  82. forty years, and for those of our generation, we're still living like

  83. that, like Jesus will come back anytime. But for those who were saved

  84. in the eighties, in the eighties, in the nineties, no eighties,

  85. still God. Those who were saved in the nineties, the two thousand and

  86. two thousand and then have forgotten that Jesus is coming again. So they live

  87. lives the way they just want to. Famines famines? Do you isn't it

  88. amazing that in a world of technological advance that there should be famines in the

  89. land. Hey, I'll give you a couple of reasons again. One of

  90. the reasons is greed. One of the reasons is greed. Do you know

  91. that an Ethiopia was having it's famine many many years ago? Do you remember

  92. that? How many of you were old enough to remember there was a time

  93. of we are the world? We are nineteen eighty four, eighty forty five?

  94. Okay? Do you know that? How many tons of grain and food

  95. was sent to Ethiopia? But do you know that he didn't reach the people

  96. and people stuff had famine? Do you know why? Because the people in

  97. the port wanted money, honey, they wanted to be bribed in order for

  98. that food to get out of port. Do you know that you see famines

  99. arise because people have their own interest at heart. Now I've got this,

  100. the great move to electrical vehicles as part of the famine. I was looking

  101. at a documentary and it made a whole lot of sense to me. How

  102. many of you know that this move towards electrical vehicles and electrical engines and everything

  103. electrical and nothing petroleum is actually an unthought principle that will lead us into a

  104. lot of trouble. Yeah, you all think the world is going to be

  105. safe. Clean energy isn't really clean because something had to produce the electricity to

  106. go into that car. And where do you think that is coming from?

  107. The same fossil fuels that they don't want you to buy? Do you know

  108. why? So you can be controlled? Do you know that China will control

  109. every country in the world if everybody moves to electrical vehicles, because who's the

  110. largest producer of electrical batteries China? And when China has got everybody in their

  111. hand and they don't decide not to supply to you, you know what happens.

  112. Transport comes to a grinding holt. You see, you gotta understand.

  113. We got to understand what's happening. Do you know that the fight in the

  114. US today against the return of fracting oil from shale pumping oil. You know

  115. what the fight is. The fight is the Biden wants to move to Biden

  116. wants to move them to no oil, all electrical vehicles. You know what

  117. happens when that happens. Guess who controls the US China? China, which

  118. is not surprising because there's a lot of fight now going on whether Biden accepted

  119. money from China. Hey, we got to keep our eyes open. Let

  120. me tell you how famines arise. Do you realize that to buy one truck

  121. that works on batteries costs three times the price of a diesel vehicle, and

  122. do you know that it only travels for about two hundred three hundred kilometers.

  123. There's not enough places to guess up and guess where that pricing is going to

  124. go. It's going to go to the consumer. Do you know how many

  125. truckers are going to go out of business because they cannot afford the price of

  126. the vehicles. You know how many truckers are going to go out of business

  127. because they cannot wait hours upon hours upon hours for the vehicles to charge.

  128. You know what happens. When that happens, food will not get to where

  129. it is needed. When food doesn't get where it's needed, there will be

  130. hunger. What is hunger? Famine? And this will happen even in industrial

  131. countries because the world has gone crazy over what is it, global warming?

  132. In the last few hundreds of years. Do you know how how much the

  133. temperature has gone? Maybe one degree? Carbon emission? Do you know how

  134. many percent carbon or carbon dioxide is in the air. Do you know that

  135. over the last few thousands of years? Do you know how many percent increase

  136. it has gone. If I'm not mistaken, it's zero point four percent.

  137. If it falls below zero point two five percent, we will all die because

  138. all plants will die because plants also need carbon dioxide. So you have you

  139. and I have been sold an idea that man is in a position to make

  140. a difference. Hey, he is not. If you think all the things

  141. that they are going to do is going to make a difference, you and

  142. I we are deeply mistaken because we are coming into God's territory. God can

  143. do what God can do. We can't. And that's where we get that

  144. pestilence. We just went through a kind of a pestilence, right, COVID

  145. nineteen. How horrible was that? How many years did it take us to

  146. recover? We're just recovering. There's twenty and twenty four. I mean it

  147. had us in its grip until the end of twenty twenty. Maybe in twenty

  148. twenty three. It just started to make a difference. You know, I

  149. tell you this. I've been to Thailand. You got to take your head

  150. off to them. Their recovery is remarkable. I went there in twenty and

  151. twenty two to meet a friend I've not met in such a long time,

  152. and then I went again into twenty twenty three to meet him. In that

  153. one year, that whole economy has turned around. That's amazing, You know

  154. why, because the people work, They work hard, and we wonder why

  155. it's not happening as fast here anyway. So talking about pestilence, right,

  156. have you heard of Hitch five N one? You know what scientists say,

  157. one hundred times worse than COVID. If it took us two and a half

  158. years to recover, how long would it take to recover from something that's a

  159. hundred times worse. Hey, guys, and this pestilence COVID for example,

  160. So we were forced to take these vaccinations. I took the vaccination. Yeah,

  161. you gotta do what you gotta do, whether it's good or not.

  162. We'll find out now whether those vaccinations will have an impact on us. The

  163. next ten years will tell. But something tells me that they will never tell

  164. you the numbers because it's money. The farmer pharmaceutical companies made billions upon billions

  165. of dollars, so you're never going to get any adverse report. And lastly,

  166. let's remember earthquakesh remember earthquakes. How many have you seen some pictures of

  167. the Taiwan earthquake. It's quite disconcerting to see a building like that and people

  168. coming out the top floor just getting out of the window because the building is

  169. lying flat like that. It's horrible. And that wasn't even a major major

  170. earthquake. Can you imagine when a really major earthquake happens, how devastating it

  171. could be. But again, Scripture did say that isn't it. There will

  172. be earthquakes in diverse places. This is a condition of the world today.

  173. I pay attention. I pay attention because in Matthew twenty four to twelve.

  174. It says, and because lawliness lawlessness will abound, the love of many will

  175. grow cold. The love of many will grow cold because lawless. You know,

  176. lawlessness is you know what rebelliance against God? Do you know that God

  177. puts certain laws in place, and when we don't want to follow those laws,

  178. what is that? Lawless? Nas Hey, the world today is not

  179. interested in following norms. It's okay not to follow a norm it's all right.

  180. But when you begin to think that you have all the answers and only

  181. your way is the way, then you're running into trouble. And that's exactly

  182. what the world is today. If you study the makeup of the world today,

  183. it's all about itself. It's all about doing things it's way, and

  184. that's why the love of Minni has grown called. Do you know that when

  185. it comes to people loving God, it's probably at one of the all time

  186. laws. And the reason it's one of the all time laws is because people

  187. love themselves. They have made God in their image, or at least that's

  188. how they think that Scripture is. But it's God who made us in his

  189. image. You know. Scripture says when they deny God, they're actually fools.

  190. I mean I didn't say that. Okay, if the word is strong

  191. for you, take it up with God. Because God said that if they

  192. reject the notion of God, they are fools. So they think that you

  193. and I came into being because two planets hit each other and suddenly the rocks

  194. went apart and cool down, and out of nothing suddenly one a mehba guruguru

  195. gurgrou and became a fish, and then became a reptile and then converted itself

  196. into a monkey, and eventually we were I mean serious, do you believe

  197. that? And you know how they justified they justified evolution is true. You

  198. see, the people who are gone to cold countries can take cold, to

  199. people who are in the equator can take hot. You take the hot people

  200. and put them where they cold cannot take it. You take the cold people

  201. put well they cannot take it. You see. They have adapted, and

  202. so they create their own theories to justify their stupidity. WHOA, So what

  203. does this mean? God is God and we have not? All this means

  204. God is God and we are not. And if we want to live a

  205. life that's centered, you know, well, right, correct, Always remember

  206. God is God and we are not. Yeah, I'm always one. Yeah,

  207. I'm fascinated with this question whose heaven are we going to? Her?

  208. Have you ever asked that question? Who's heaven are we going to? I

  209. mean, are we going to God's heaven? Or are we going to our

  210. heaven? You know, some really insane people used to say back in the

  211. seventies that they want to go to hell because in Hell it's one big party.

  212. Jimmy Hendrix is there, Janice Joplin is there and they're having a rocking

  213. time. Really, hey, don't mess around with things we don't know.

  214. Hell is not a place of joy. It's not a place where we'll find

  215. peace. It's a place of eternal tomment and trusts me, Jimi Hendrix is

  216. not playing the guitar. He's not. He's too busy screaming in his own

  217. pain to think about you. So, Who's heaven are we going to?

  218. And this is a very important question that we need to ask usself because it

  219. will set our hearts and minds right for the future, and the where we'll

  220. live is heaven fashioned after our beliefs of right and wrong. Thailand just approved

  221. same sex marriage. I remember two or three months ago I said that it

  222. will move down. All this is going to move and eventually you watch and

  223. see Singapore be next, Singapore be soon, Singapore be soon. And I

  224. remember telling you that how the world puts pressure on people to adopt these kind

  225. of ways is that the countries who are strong will pressure the countries who are

  226. weak. Have you read that many people in the US are trying to pressure

  227. the US government to put pressure on Uganda and some other African nations that are

  228. against same sex marriage to capitulate and allow it, so they will test there

  229. first. Then once they start testing there, they will start pressurizing the whole

  230. world around. Hey, you and I, we got to keep our eyes

  231. open. These are the last days and if we are to get ready for

  232. jesus second coming, it behooves us. That's a big word to know that

  233. God has God and we are not. We have to get with the program.

  234. Whose program the world's program? The world's program is I love myself.

  235. I am to me all that I need to be. There is no other

  236. than me, other than me, for I am I, and that's all

  237. that needs to be true. If you look and see why people reject God

  238. is because they love their own ideas. But they forgot God, who said

  239. I am God, I am Jehovah, I am like you said, you

  240. know. And God proved his own divinity when he rose up from the dead,

  241. his messiah Emmanuel. And in that don't pass the test. The Book

  242. of God says, he's the Word of God. Come, Come in the

  243. flesh. He's the author of salvation. And he leaves no room to guess.

  244. He's the alpha, or make it beginning is the beginning and the first,

  245. and he's the last, with no words left to say. He told

  246. us he was God always God. See, the world does not want to

  247. recognize God, because if it recognizes God, it does not recognize itself as

  248. being number one? So is heaven fashioned after our beliefs? Is heaven made

  249. in our image? Is heaven made in our image? Who calls the shots?

  250. We forget? You know, I'm really against this. My season here

  251. is done. I'm sorry. I'm truly against them statement because how many of

  252. us have maturity enough to recognize that our season ends only when God says it

  253. ends, and very very often when he says it ends does not depend upon

  254. our convenience. You see. That's why when people say my season here is

  255. done, it's convenient. I don't believe God's involved. We have to be

  256. very, very careful. Whose image are we made in? We are made

  257. in God's image, all right. He's the one who calls the shots.

  258. I can tell you that I was in a church which for many years had

  259. come to a point where we needed to live mable than myself. But God

  260. said no. He said no. How many people who said my season here

  261. is done has ever stayed even though they wanted to go, because God said,

  262. don't move. You know, when elde Mable and myself moved, when

  263. the church moved, When the church moved away, then we were allowed by

  264. God to go. You know what happened. We obeyed the Lord. And

  265. you know what God did. He gave us ex church. He gave us

  266. a wonderful group of people who look after us. Pastor Kenneth, pastor Sandra,

  267. who, by the way, send you your love and their greetings.

  268. Let me not forget that. Wow, amazing is that now you look after

  269. people. You don't go because you want to go. You don't go because

  270. God tells you to stay. And when God allows you to go, it's

  271. the perfect place. But these days too many people's seasons seem to you know,

  272. God is the one who made seasons, you know, so our seasons

  273. depend on God's seasons, does not depend on our will. Good question to

  274. think of, because in these last days, this is the question, and

  275. you and I are going to be faced with all the time. He's a

  276. season over hmmm, filled with our strife? Do you think God's heaven is

  277. filled with our battles? Do you think he's interested with who we like and

  278. who we dislike? And here we don't want to forgive people. How silly

  279. is that when God, when Jesus himself on the cross, can say,

  280. Father, forgive them for them or not what they do? And here somebody

  281. looks at us wrongly. I don't talk to that person anymore. Forgiving doesn't

  282. necessarily mean you have to be buddies, okay, But forgiving means you don't

  283. wish harm upon that person, and your heart will never be satisfied to see

  284. that person receive any kind of harm. That is true forgiveness. True forgiveness

  285. is you love someone, you love them, you can forgive them and it

  286. doesn't depend upon whether they accept it or not. There is no scripture that

  287. tells me Jesus ever spoke to pontious Pilot again after he res erected. Can

  288. any of you find such a scripture? But you see, the Onus was

  289. unconscious Pilot to receive the Lord as personal Lord and savior. Whether he did

  290. so or not depended solely upon him. But Jesus had already forgiven him.

  291. So it doesn't mean that when you forgive somebody you got to be buddy buddy

  292. with them. There are those people who are really toxic, who spend their

  293. whole life trying to irritate you and remove your joy. You can forgive them,

  294. you don't have to mix with them. So do you think heaven is

  295. a place that is going to continue our strife? Oh? I don't like

  296. you. Hey, we're going to meet those people in heaven. You know,

  297. I'm telling you, We're going to meet them in heaven. And you

  298. know what's the only thing that will happen. You will all be crying saying

  299. I'm sorry, I should have done it the Lord's way. What does the

  300. Bible say, He wipes away our tears? Why is it that we cry

  301. because we failed him? And we will see ourselves for the first time in

  302. such truth. But then Jesus will reveal how he Esus with love, and

  303. then this world decides whether they want to receive Jesus or not. It's very

  304. sad what's given to them free. They don't want You tell them go to

  305. this place in some mountain high up in the Himalayas and take ten bars of

  306. God, put their offer with some candles. That they will do. But

  307. here, when Jesus is offered to them freely, they don't want to receive.

  308. Oh, sensual pleasure. Do you think heaven is a place where there

  309. will be sensual pleasure? You know there are some faiths that believe that.

  310. But scripture says that you and I will be like angels. We won't be

  311. given in marriage. And you know that is a form of things already passed.

  312. When we are in heaven, there are pleasures that supersede sensual pleasures,

  313. the pleasure of being in the presence of God. So guys, do not

  314. equate heaven in our terms. In two Timedy three two to four, it

  315. says for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money. This last

  316. day is right, lovers of money. I tell you men loves money.

  317. These days, Who here does not love money? I love money, So

  318. who here does not? I ask the question again, who here does not

  319. love money? Okay? I love money. Money is good. But always

  320. remember God's first. Then money's okay. So it's okay to love money.

  321. After all, you love your spouse, right, anything wrong with loving your

  322. spouse? No, But the Bible says you got to love God first.

  323. So it's God first, then your spouse second. So it's okay to love

  324. money as long as you love God first. Came my point. Okay,

  325. Boasters, Wow, proud, blessed, femous, disobedient to parents? You

  326. know, I Boasters. I will share something with you about that later.

  327. Bosus, proud, blessed, femous this obedient to parents? Hey, children

  328. these days just do not believe parents exist. Not so much here we guys

  329. in Asia, it's okay. You know, filial piety and all that sort

  330. of thing. You try just going to a nearby country like Australia. Australia,

  331. if the boy says I want to be a girl, the parents have

  332. no choice, and if the parents don't support it, the child is removed

  333. from the parents care. By the way, this actually happened. The mother

  334. has not seen the sun in two years. Unthankful, unholy, unloving.

  335. I don't know why the three is there, but oh yeah, it's worse.

  336. Three sorry, unloving, unforgiving. We covered that just now. Slanderous

  337. without self control or without self control, oh, my goodness, without self

  338. control. I have seen guys who put a few hundred piercings, put horns

  339. in the head, cut off the years, remove the nose, split the

  340. tongue into and they think they look wonderful. Hmm, the spices of good.

  341. I heard that prizes are good. There'll be traitors, headstrong, haughty,

  342. lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. You see, that's where

  343. all the trouble begins, because man loves himself and not God. Hey,

  344. guys, in the last days, let's be careful. I'll pick up speed

  345. here so I won't, you know, scare you to death? What's up

  346. with man? All right? Man is smart. He has the brains to

  347. accomplish anything he sets his mind to. True. Not yeah, Hey,

  348. they sent a rocket with William Shatner up into space. You know it's William

  349. Shanner Captain Kirk in case you don't know. At the age of ninety years

  350. old. He went up the space came down, so he actually went the

  351. space. Wow, amazing. Do you know that China has produced a fusion

  352. reactor that has produced, if I'm not mistaken, heat two times the core

  353. of the sun a million degrees. I can't imagine anything that can hold it.

  354. But they did it for about one second or two seconds, So we

  355. step away from fusion reaction. Fusion reaction is clean energy without heat. Man

  356. has the brains to accomplish anything. He's capable. There are men who achieve

  357. their goals. Look at Microsoft, if you look at the Pirates, it

  358. is the pirates Silicon Valley who was a dirty business, all right, and

  359. somebody made billions from it. So man is capable. He achieves his goals,

  360. and he is proud. He believes in himself and has no room for

  361. God. You see, that's where we always run into trouble. And I

  362. just want to share something with you in something that the Lord ministered to me

  363. and for the first time I got to see it and got to understand it.

  364. In Genesis eleven one to six, it says, now the whole earth

  365. had one language and one speech, and it came to pass that they journeyed

  366. from the east, and they found a plane in the land of Shina,

  367. and they dwelt there. Then they said to one another, come, let

  368. us make bricks and bake them thoroughly. They had bricks for stone, and

  369. they had asked for for motor. And they said, come, let us

  370. build ourselves a city and a tower whose top is in the heavens. Let

  371. us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face

  372. of the earth. Capable they can achieve, what do they want? They

  373. want a name for themselves. But the Lord came down to see the city

  374. and the tower which the son of Men had built. And the Lord said,

  375. indeed, these people are one, and they all have one language,

  376. and this is what they begin to do. Now, nothing that they proposed

  377. to do will be withheld from them. I want you to know this,

  378. and I do not know whether we have caught it. Men succeeded in building

  379. that tower because God came down to see the tower that they had built,

  380. not that they were building. I did some researcher, do you know what

  381. height was the tower? Bebel Some ancient writings said three times the height of

  382. the Burj Khaliphar others say one third the height of the burj Khalipher, But

  383. it doesn't matter. It was tall enough for God to take notice. Because

  384. the next statement I'm about to make is one that is a little bit difficult

  385. to understand, and it's simply this. You and I have no right to

  386. achieve anything of value without the involvement of God. Got that. You and

  387. I have got no right to achieve anything of value without the involvement of God.

  388. Because if God is not involved, he comes down and he messes with

  389. the language. So you ask yourself, Oh, these big men like Jeff

  390. Bezos and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, they all made billions, they did

  391. so well. Right, there's only one difference. They're all not together.

  392. They all at enmity with one another. There is no agreement. Can you

  393. imagine if Elis and and and Jobs and Gates and what's the Testlae guy named

  394. Elon mask and all these people got together together, what they could achieve.

  395. See what they've achieved separately. There is no need for God to come down

  396. and mess around with their language anymore because they're not together. They are for

  397. themselves. And if they are for themselves, God doesn't need to get involved

  398. because you live a life of having a lot of money, and if you

  399. don't have God, if you don't have Jesus, by the end of that

  400. life, you go to a christless eternity. And I tell you it is

  401. not a fun place. Jimmy Hendrix is not playing his guitar there. For

  402. those of you young ones, you may not know who Jimmy Hendrix is.

  403. Okay, I do not know who your best guitar player is today, all

  404. right, But the older ones will know, all right. So can we

  405. agree that only things of value in our lives should be with the involvement of

  406. Jesus Christ. Because scripture says in Philippines four thirteen, I can do all

  407. things, not some things, not a few things, not a little things.

  408. I can do all things through Christ. To what strengthens me. It

  409. means that you recognize your weak It means that you recognize you don't have everything

  410. in your grasp. You recognize that you need God's help. It's very important

  411. because this world today, the only way you and I are going to succeed

  412. constantly and for a long period of time is with God's involvement. I will

  413. not do anything without God being involved. Hey, I got up at five

  414. o'clock in the morning and I walked and I walked and I walked today to

  415. be sure I was awake while I prayed for this message. Man, because

  416. I can share a great, wonderful message without the help of the Holy Spirit,

  417. and one second after I say amen, all of you have forgotten it

  418. and it will have no impact in your life. But I can share what

  419. to me maybe so horribly sounding, but with the power of the Holy Spirit

  420. backing it up, because I am weak and He is strong, can have

  421. an impact on people's lives. Which do you think I want? I want

  422. that great clap in one second, nobody can remember anything. Oh, I

  423. don't mind the silence, but everybody is focused on God. I have been

  424. able to do so many things because of the involvement of God. How many

  425. minutes, ten minutes? Oh, I'm earlier. Okay, I'm coming to

  426. the end. Not bad. I heard that. Okay, Okay, good

  427. good, good luck. I want to tell you that I've shared this before,

  428. but I need to share again that when God is involved in your life,

  429. you can do all things. Hey, I was looking for a job

  430. for six months, no money coming in. I had written tens of applications

  431. out there, tens of just sending out application, nobody bothering to respond,

  432. until finally I came to God and say, I can't do this anymore.

  433. I give it up to you. You handled it. The only thing I

  434. can do. I will do every day. What is that? I will

  435. worship you. I get up at five in the morning, I just worship

  436. the Lord. I worship the Lord, worship the lot. On the fifth

  437. day, I get a phone call somebody I never applied a job for and

  438. from nothing to general manager. Five days after I committed into God's hands.

  439. At the age of fifty five, how many you know Malaysia, nobody employs

  440. you. After the age of forty five, fifty becomes very difficult to get

  441. a job. Fifty five, I decided to look for a job, another

  442. job. I said, God, you know I need to go. I

  443. need to go. Will you find me another job? See God's involved.

  444. And someone whom I did not pass my CV two calls me up and say

  445. I've got your CV in hand. Somebody else passed them a CV. HA

  446. say when you come for an interview. So I went for the interview.

  447. It seemed all good. Then I went back home I went to sleep.

  448. God came to me in a dream and said, the job is going to

  449. be good for you. Take it. So I knew I was going to

  450. get another call. Next day, I got a call. Can you come

  451. over a second interview? Meet director. So when I met the director,

  452. said before you say anything, can I tell you something? They said,

  453. yeah, go ahead. I say, well, as concerned to take this

  454. job or not. God appeared to me in a dream and say, take

  455. this job. It's good for you. So I knew you're going to offer

  456. me the job. I'm telling you the truth. This is the truth.

  457. And then this person said, that's amazing, because let me tell you what

  458. happened. Your position was already filled when I saw your CV. God means

  459. to me and said, you can't affort to let this guy go. Bring

  460. him in. You won't regret it at the age of fifty five. So

  461. I'm telling you, any of you who is having difficulty, just get in

  462. line with God and recognize that God can do it and you can't. Then

  463. you put yourself in correct perspective, and you put yourself in a position for

  464. God to act because God wants us all to know that God is God,

  465. and we are not. In Matthew nine, it says, come to me

  466. all who are, all you who labor and are heavily hidden, and I

  467. will give you rest. Hey, Steve, job's not going to give you

  468. rest. Your money ain't going to give you rest. Hey, the honey

  469. is not going to give you rest. No one is going to give you

  470. rest. But Jesus says I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon

  471. you and learn from who from me? Hey? Why do we want to

  472. go and see all these gurus who tell us you wear green it's good for

  473. you. You'll your life will be great? You laugh? Do you know

  474. that in Singapore there are courses they tell you what color to wear because it

  475. will change your life. I'm not kidding. You know. People pay money.

  476. Why do you want to do that? What is scripture saying? Learn

  477. from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will

  478. find rest for your souls. Hey, Rest for your souls a big thing,

  479. you know. Rest for your souls doesn't mean only peace, go owack

  480. home, sleep nicely peace. It also means a good job. Because when

  481. you got a good job, are you at peace? Yes? Hey?

  482. Good wife? When you have good wife you're at peace, like, yes,

  483. good husband, you have good husband, you're at peace? Yes,

  484. good children? If you have good and definitely at peace? Why not?

  485. And you will find rest for your souls. Hey, you know inscription did

  486. not say it rest for your bodies? And what is it here? And

  487. you will find rest for your souls because rest for your body you go to

  488. sleep and get God's not involved, that's or natural. But souls is a

  489. deeper kind of thing. It's something that external situation cannot resolve. That's why

  490. it talks about rest for your souls, Rest for the deepest parts of you

  491. that will make a difference in your entire life, not the externals, not

  492. the physical, Rest for your souls. So therefore God is God and we

  493. are not. I think just God wants us to recognize that there's a perspective

  494. that we have to. I go five minutes left with it. Oh,

  495. there is a perspective that God always wants us to have. You know what

  496. is that perspective? Jesus? Hey, God is God and we are not.

  497. And you know what God said, For I love the world so much,

  498. I give you Jesus that whichever one of you believes in Him, you

  499. will not perish but have everlasting life. Of course, that's paraphrase from John

  500. three sixteen. But you see, God is God. That was his way,

  501. So what right do we have to try search for any other way.

  502. We don't have that right because God is God and we are not. And

  503. no matter which person on earth says there are many ways to heaven, there

  504. is but one. In his name is Jesus. And every time an alt

  505. call is given, if you do not know who Jesus is, you have

  506. but one choice. Get to know him. We hope you've been blessed by

  507. this message. For more information on our church, please visit as Church Org.

  509. is going to be a good week. I heait for you. God bless
