5 Areas To Watch Out For In 2024 | Pr Kenneth Chin

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

will light up your day. The message for the new year drum roll.

Please thank you. Five areas. Five areas to watch out four in twenty

twenty four. Five areas to watch out four in twenty twenty four. Let's

read the Word of God first, okay. Proverbs four, verses twenty to

twenty seven, Proverbs for twenty to twenty seven. My son, give attention

to my words. Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them

depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart, for

they are alive to those who find them. Hallelujah. Alive. We all

want life, health to all their flesh. Hallelujah. We all want health.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues

of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips

far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look

right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let your ways

be established. Do not turn to the right or the left. Remove your

feet from evil. Five areas I would like us to watch out for.

Five areas I would like you and I to invest in more this year,

Five areas I would like you and I to take control off even better this

year. What are the areas? Five areas the ears, the heart,

the mouth, the eyes, and the feet. And I want to guarantee

you, in the name of Jesus and by the Word of God, that

you will indeed have life and health and every blessing that the Bible promises you

and I, if you would watch out and invest in and take control or

more control of, take up more management of these five areas. Once again,

the five areas are the ears, the heart, the mouth, the

eyes, and the feet. All right, let's look at the next slide.

Please, let's read it in the message. I don't always do this

because the official Bible for ex Church is the NK JV. But sometimes when

we read other versions it might come up a little bit more of today's language.

So let's read the message. Dear friend, listen well to my words,

tune your ears to my voice, keep my message in plain view at

all times, concentrate, learn it by heart. Those who discover these words

live rarely live body and soul. They're bursting with health. Hallelujah. Keep

vigilant, watch over your heart. That's where life starts. Don't talk out

of both sides of your mouth. Avoid careless banter, white lies, God

sin, keep your eyes straight ahead, ignore all sides showed distructions. Watch

your step and the road will stretch out smooth before you look neither right nor

left. Leave evil in the dust. I want to say also before I

move on, that these five areas in our lives are escalating in nature,

mean that how we treat one area will determine how the other area looks like.

So the next slide will say that maybe XTV, you just follow my

message, and when you hear me say something and I touch on something,

you just go ahead and turn the slide. And I think it says the

five areas are escalating in nature, one will effect or affect the other.

So I want you to take note of that. When you are in control

of your eyes or your ears, that's beginning with that, you will also

see how that will determine where your heart will be. And when you take

care of your heart, it will begin to determine where your mouth will be,

and so on so forth. Okay, so let's look at the next

slide please XTV. We're going to look now at the ears. Okay.

So the first thing the Bible talks about is the ears. Now, Proverbs

For, what do you say about the ears? Let's read it again.

What does problems for say about the years? We read it and readly twice.

Now we'll read it again, My son, give attention to my words.

Incline your ear to my sayings. Wow, the very first part of

the very first area mentioned in Proverbs For is the ears. The ears are

very important to God. In fact, it starts there. The Bible continues

to say, do not let them depart from your eyes. Okay, So

incline your ear message. The message says to tune your ears to my voice.

So this year twenty twenty four, like the radio that you used to

have, we've got to tune and fine tune until we hear the clear voice

of the Lord. Maybe too many of us in twenty twenty three have been

listening to all kinds of things that are negative, that are not right,

that are not helpful. Our ears have listened to gossip, sides show.

Our ears have listened to our doom and gloom of economy, and so on

and so forth. And what happens when we allow these kind of news to

enter our ears, it will soon begin to fill our hearts. And that's

why it starts with the ears, it goes to the heart. If you

can take care of what you listen to, you can begin to also take

care of your heart. Where your heart is today, either it's fearful,

it's trembling with worry and concern, is because you have allowed your ears to

hear and to listen in on things that your heart can't take or rather is

not healthy for your heart. So it always starts without ears. And if

you want twenty twenty four to be a good year, then a good year

you wanted to be a good year, then please take care not only of

what you are hearing, but what you are listening to. There's a difference

between here and listen. Listen has a concentration to it, and it goes

down into your inner being. So Romans ten seventeen I put on quite a

few scriptures. We might not have the time to go through all of them,

but let's see how far we go. And Romans ten seventeen says that

faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So it's not

just hearing, is what are you hearing? What are you listening to?

And I pray that you want to listen more this year to the word.

Listen more this year to the Ramma word, which means the voice of God

speaking to you above and beyond the voices of this world and the noise of

this world. Let's look at another scripture maybe XTV. Thank you so much

for putting the actual references up. I thank you for that. But let's

go back to that slide that I left off earlier on the ears, Revelations

two seven. Let's not turn to it. Let me just tell you what

it says. Revelations two seven, eleven, seventeen, twenty nine, three

six, three thirteen, three twenty two are seven churches. And in Revelations,

this is really the last book, and so it's very important to hear

what the last book has to say. And God is speaking to seven churches,

and he ends. Now all the seven churches start with a different kind

of attention, different kind of maybe let's call it a different kind of a

word from the Lord. But everyone, although it starts different, it ends

the same. He who has an ear, let him hear. So it's

very important, not only at the beginning, but towards the end. Of

God is after our hearing, and so it begins with hearing. Can I

hear a good Amen? You want a good year? Change your ear?

Why? And ear is your ear? Okay, you think about it.

You want a good year? Change your ear? Begin to control what goes

in. What are you listening to? Who are you listening to? Amen?

Let God be the voice that you listen more to this year. And

of course, Revelations twenty two seventeen is already the last book. It's already

the last page, it's already the last chapter. And yet in the last

chapter, you know, the Bible says to us very clearly, you know,

the Spirit and the Bride says, come and let all who hear come.

Wow. Wow, you couldn't get it clearer than this. The Lord

wants us to know, even all the way to the very end. Make

sure you hear well. Can I hear a good Amen? Amen? Praise

God. Let's move on to the next one. How are we doing so

far? So God? Your heart now in NKJV, let's quickly refer to

that again. It says, keep your heart with all diligions, keep your

heart with all diligions. In the Message, it says, keep vigilant watch

over your heart. Vigilant means to be careful, to take care in order

to be watchful. And then in the NIV, a lot of us love

the niv's version because he says, God your heart. You know these days,

I don't know why, but it's very easy for people to be offended.

Every little thing we get offended. God your heart, the Bible says

why, because out of your heart spring the issues of life. Whatever issues

you're going through right now, came from the heart, whether good issues or

bad issues, wonderful issues or worry issues, has come from the condition of

our hearts. If our hearts are at a good place, even bad things

that happen to you will have a good ending. If our hearts are not

at a good place, even good things that happen to you can be bad.

But right as you start, it starts from your hearing, and then

it enters your heart. God your heart, Okay, let's look at it.

Proverbs four says that Philippines four six to seven says, be anxious for

nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication. Let your request be

made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding,

will God your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. So you say,

God, how to God the peace of God? Gods? You see,

some people might God. I was thinking past. I know the Bible says

God your heart, But how do we God? Well? The Bible says

the peace of God will God. But how does the peace come? It

comes by bringing all your prayers and supplications, all your needs, all your

problems, all your requests be made known to God with thanksgiving. Be anxious

for nothing, but in everything come on by prayer. Prayer is still our

gift from God that connects us with the source of His power. There is

nothing else that God has given us like prayer where we can talk directly with

God because of what Jesus Christ has done for us on the Cross, and

because the Holy Spirit of God lives in us. Somebody say, amen,

we get to connect with God. And if we don't have words, we

have tongues. And then it says to come to the Lord with thanksgiving and

the peace of God. Will God our hearts and mind. Want I let

you know that in many occasions, when you read the Bible, heart and

mind are synonymous. The heart is really the spiritual mind, the inner most

being mind, your true self. You know, you can be smiling in

front of somebody and actually inside your in turmoil. That's the heart, that's

the real condition. That's the mind that's going on. You can be like

looking like you're all right, you're okay, But what's going on inside that's

the that's the thoughts of the heart. The inner thoughts of your heart is

your mind. And so that's why many times, many times when you read

the Bible, mind and heart, they are quite different. And sometimes it

can be used differently, but many times, many many times is used interchangeably.

So God's peace will God your heart and mind. Somebody say a good

aim, because it's not you, it's not my effort, it's not your

effort. It's a peace of God that were God. But what is the

prerequisite. We come to the Lord, and we trust in the Lord,

and we pray to our God with thanksgiving. There is no matter what you're

going through, give thanks and God will give you peace. Oh that surpasses

all understanding. Other wonderful scriptures. Matthew six twenty one. What does Matthew

six twenty one sake, it can XTV help me. I'm not sure whether

I put it down on my nose. Maybe I did, Oh, yes

I did. For where your treasure is, Oh, for where your treasure

is there, your heart will be also. So the way to God your

heart is to make sure you prioritize what your treasure is. What is your

treasure. If your children are the most treasured thing, then there your heart

will be. And when your children don't live the way you want to,

your heart will break. And finances is your most treasured thing. And working

really hard to get your first million or your next ten million. If that's

where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. And when economy

fails, your heart will fail. Anybody with me with me? So to

God your heart is to make sure your treasure is in the right Please prior

horror tize not to say that money is not important, but maybe it's the

seventh most important. You with me, Not to say that family is not

important, but maybe it's the third most important. You with me. Not

to say that your job is not important, but maybe he is the fourth

or the eighth. Prioritize. My wife is very important to me, but

God has to be more important than to me than her, and she the

same. And because both of us look to the Lord, then we draw

closer. And then when she fails me, I still have God. When

I fail her, she still have God, and we go back to God

God. Can you imagine if I look to the Lord and she looks to

me, we are in trouble, or she looks the Lord, I look

to her. When she feels me I'm gone you with me, then divorce

gets you know, talked about, and no, I can't live with you,

and you know, uh, in law we call it irreconcilable differences.

And why it is the Lord that brought us together and the Lord that will

keep us together. Keep your eyes on Jesus. How do you got your

heart? You got your treasure, and you make sure that your treasure is

in the right place. Everybody, Okay, So what does a Romans trielve

Tuesday? Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed. Oh,

by the renewing of your mind. I just told you that the mind

and the heart is very often the same thing. So if you want to

see transformation this year, come on, tain to your neighbors, say you're

going to see transformation this year. Come on, and you're going to see

transformation this year right in your family, in your finance. Somebody say amen,

yeah, come on, all right, you gotta see transformations. How

if you want to lose weight, you say okay, So say hellolia very

loudly. How do you do it? Transformed by the renewing of your mind,

the thoughts of your heart, the inner thoughts of your being needs to

begin to be renewed. Can I hear a good amen? Renew You know

the transformation word is the picture of a butterfly. You know that right where

the caterpillar turns miraculously from an ugly thing where some people might call it cute,

but cute, you know it's ugly and adorable. So a cute,

ugly looking caterpillar goes into a dirty looking cocoo and God does a miracle.

Maybe some of you twenty twenty three was a cocoon. Maybe you will a

caterpillar. But I want to declaine Jesus name that twenty twenty four will be

a butterfly year for us, where transformation will happen and you will be unrecognizable.

Come on, you will be unrecognizable. You will look more like Jesus.

But how does it happen? Renew? You can't go into twenty twenty

four with the same inner thoughts that you had in twenty twenty three. You

can't with the same bitterness, with the same frustration, with the same unforgiveness

any boys do with me, with the same fears and worries. You can't.

You can't. All right, let's move on. Thank you, XTV.

I know you're doing your best. Okay. A good man, or

the good treasure of his heart brings forth good. An evil man or the

evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil for their Out of the abundance of

the heart, his mouth speaks. So I look at this. I'm probably

gonna look at it again when I talk about mouth. But why don't you

memorize these scriptures, at least the last one. Out of the abundance of

the heart, the mouth speaks because it involves both the heart and the mouth.

But one thing I've realized from the Lord many many years ago, he

says, Kenneth, you know the reason why you are not able to witness

to a friend, or a family member or a stranger. He says,

Kenneth, can I tell you the truth. And you know when God speaks

the truth, it goes very deep. Yeah, that's right. Most of

us go out and God says to me, this is Kenneth. It's not

because you fear rejection or you're worried about their response. No, no,

no, Kenneth. You watch how those people who tell about Jesus to their

friends and family. You know, they're not worried about all these things.

They just go for it. I tell you what is the real problem,

Kenneth. The Bible Al really says that you will speak when your heart is

full. So I can tell you right now, you're not full of me.

That was where the ouch came. You're not full because once you're full,

it comes out. So he says, I challenge you, Kenneth,

to be full of Jesus, so full that you can't stop your mouth from

pouring out. Because I tell you what. The other way, also,

the negative way, is also what he said. When you're very hurt.

See, when you're half hurt, you won't talk about it. Sorry,

were a tree quarter hurt? When your tree quart the bitter you, it's

all right, so I don't want to talk about it. But when you're

really hurt. You can't, but it comes out automatically. You want to

hold it. That's why. Yeah, sometimes we call it verbal DIREA very

hard to keep dieing in because you're full. So the heart is always not

just about what's inside is how full is it? Heart is not about oh

little bit inside twenty percent is nothing. That's why we either be fully on

fire for good or not. Some of us say, go to fifty per

said, no, see, when you're full, your mouth speaks. It's

out of their abundance. It overflows, So you either believe it or you

don't. When you believe it, it comes out. When you have believed

it, it's not full. So it's a matter of feeling. So now

you know why it starts with ears, because if you keep hearing, faith

comes by hearing and hearing. If you keep hearing, this will be full

and full and over flow from the mouth. That's why you go around and

see people why they keep talking about the same thing. It actually tells you

what's on your heart. So I don't know why everything I see there with

this guy or this girl talks about the same thing for five years. It

tells of what's in the heart. And that's why the heart must forgive and

the heart must let go, and God becomes empty your heart and fill it

with something more beautiful. And that's why you see when people are very encouraging,

the very they're encouraging all the time, even in discouraging time. They're

encouraging because their hearts are filled with encouragement, so they cannot but encourage.

There are some people here in this room like that. One of them is

Chalin. I see everybody. Yesterday we're talking to someone called uh, you

know in our office. Uh, that girl from always smiling? Are you

aa? You are the one who said killin. I've never seen you not

smile. You say I wish you condolences. You're still smiling anyway. So

because it's it's just, you know, people that have the heart that overflows

with with a certain thing, they cannot hide it anymore. When you're in

love and your heart is full, yeah, and when you're when you're when

your love is like like it's a tank, right, And when your love

is decreasing, you you don't have the I love you anymore, and you

don't have the flowers anymore, you don't have the anniversary anymore. And so

our job is to keep it full everybody. Okay. Our job is to

keep it full so that our marriages can be blessed, our children can be

blessed, our companies can be blessed. When we go in there and we

begin to bless people out of how God has blessed our hearts everywhere. Okay,

let's go on. H yeah, so mouth mouth, So what do

we need to watch out for again? Number one years, number two hard,

number three mouth. So you can you see the escalation? The Bible

is so written in order you won't believe it. God has got of order.

He doesn't chin chai, chin chai, and that's not French. Okay.

He doesn't simply just write or do anything. He does it all plan

so provers for What did you say about the mouth? Let's read it again.

It says put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips

far from you. What does the message say? The message says, don't

don't talk out of both sides of your mouth. Avoid both sides means you

say one thing to one person, you say another thing to another person.

Avoid careless banter the type that we have to take that eight restaurants sometimes careless,

very careless. White lies actually is half half lif you know, actually

he is something like that. But actually he's not like that. But you

know, you know she is, you know, white lies some truth to

it, but not all truth and gossip. All right, okay, what

now, let's look at the other scriptures again. I'm looking at my time

and I don't want to go beyond ninety five. So here we go.

Mhm. Actually, we love you on the way, whincaid, you can't

go yet, Stay for another year, okay, pops, eighteen twenty one.

Death and life are in the power of the town. You want this

year to change. You know. Sometimes people come out to me and say,

Pastor, I can't help you, like this is my situation. I

say, actually, I understand your situation, but you can still help it

because you still have a mouth that can speak things into being. No,

no, seriously, I want you to understand this. This is very important.

Oh I can't help it. I can't help it. This is hereditary.

I inherited the sickness from my death. Listen, please please listen very

carefully to the word of God. Death and life are in the power of

the tongue and those who love it. Will eat its fruit this year twenty

three four, You're gonna eat the fruit either of death or life. You

speak it, you begin to believe that you can change your atmosphere, your

environment, your situation by speaking. But if you keep saying, cannot lie.

No way, lah, This is how you know. The chips have

fallen. This is how my life is. No. God gave you a

life changing force in your tongue, So be careful what you hear because it

starts there. And then make sure you fill your heart with faith and the

word and positivity and power, and let your mouth begin to speak. Yes,

I understand these are the facts. I'm taking medicare now. But the

truth is by His stripes we are healed. So maybe one day I can

decrease my medication. Maybe maybe one day I cannot have medication anymore. Maybe

maybe one day my son, you know, might be better, My daughter

might do better, my marriage. You know, you don't just stand there

and accept the facts. You stand there and speak into the truth. Everybody,

Okay, this is all right, let's move on. Don't forget this.

So please don't forget it. No matter how what you're going through,

you can still speak things into being because we were made in the image of

God, and Romans four seventeen says God who gives life to the dead and

cause those things that we should not exist as though they did. Now,

even God Almighty doesn't wish things to happen, and he calls things to happen.

The Bible doesn't say God wish. Even God has to use his mouth

to call. What more, we who are made in His image, we

have to learn to call. You know, exk got the communing. I'm

sure ex Clang has this as well. We have intercession for about ten minutes

before we break for tea, and then we come for our pre worship prayer.

In our intercession, we are not just praying any prayer. We are

calling forth people he unsafe to come from the north, southeast, and west

of put the communing. We are calling forth the power of God to be

in existence so that those who are ill can be healed, those who are

blind can see. We are calling forth the power of God to nullify the

power of darkness that keeps people from coming to church. You know the reason

why people are still laying in their bed right now, even though they are

manging. I should be in churche I should be in church, I should

be in churged because the devil is the at work, and so we can

nullify the work of the enemy by opening our mouth to call them forth.

I say, you know, even this morning, you know those who are

still sleeping and know they should be in church. Wake them up. Lord,

Yeah, you gotta learn intercessary prayer. Intercessory prayer, and Lord,

I pray that you will. No you speak it. Whoever you are out

there, get up in Jesus' name, you know, call call, because

they already know they should be in judge, Get up, have the strength.

Alarm clock ring louder. Oh, I know whatever, I know.

Whatever the Lord's leading you to pray, get up, get into your car,

come sit down here. I pray for faith to come into your hearts,

because without faith they can be save. Faith a rise now, Wow,

I'm calling faith, faith a rise now in the heart of my friend

who doesn't know you. Amen, intercessory prayer. Take control of your life.

Take control of your situation. Speak it into being. Don't just allow

it to happen. This life is not an accident. This life is a

divine appointment. Can I hear good? Amen? Praise the Lord. So

this is what God does not wish calls. It hasn't existed yet, but

I call it into existence. I called it every chair, every empty chair

here we feel that's how you intercede. Every empty chair here. I command

that you be filled with a life that needs Jesus. Call them fourth there

thousands and thousands and thousands more and got the company and clang. Call them

forth. They do not exist. Now they will exist in Jesus. Name

next one. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and leave

in your heart that God has raised him from there, you will be saved.

Confess. You know one thing about confession is this. Those of us

who know a little bit of law know that to get a confession is really

powerful. It's almost done deal unless the court can hear and be proven that

the man or woman gave their confession underdress, being forced by the police or

whoever and force, and now he changes his confession. No, no,

no, I didn't underdo rest. So there is something in law say that

that says to us confession underd rest is inadmissible. And then of course it

got all these other different uh uh uh. You know, criteria, conditions,

preconditions or you know laws. Uh, But confession is very very powerful.

Most people are done. The sentence is ready to be given as soon

as a confession has been obtained. So what is a confession? A confession?

Really? Number one is truth. That's why it's so powerful. You

are telling the truth after all these years of saying it's another story. Now

you had enough and you just want to speak the truth. I know that

there's a man in Australia. I think his name is CYRL who killed Atantuya.

I mean he wants to tell the truth, finds it hard because he's

under duress. But a confession is powerful because it's truth, somebody's amen.

It's also powerful because it's acceptance. I accept my faith, I accept that

I've done this and that this is the truth. And not only that,

it also speaks of surrender. I surrender and submit to whatever will happen when

the truth is known. That's powerful because you know that when you surrender your

life to God and submit to him, he takes over and he works a

miracle. So when a person is about to confess and sits down in front

of the lawyer or the police, the confession, you know, I just

told you. I'm ready to tell you the truth. I've thought about it,

and I accept that even if it's ten years in jail. I accept

my faith and I surrender to the judges. I surrender to the law.

I wait for you to judge me. Hopefully you show me mercy because I

have come up to tell you the truth and I accept my future. Do

you see how powerful confession is. It's submission to God. I confess that

in you, I'm healed truth, acceptance of that truth, even though you

feel like you know you you want to die out of this sickness, and

yet you say, I accept the truth will set me free, and I

totally submit and surrender to God's mercy for how he will treat my life.

Everybody still with me? And expectation? What is confession again? Truth,

acceptance, surrender or submission and expectation. I now expect whatever sentence will come

my way. Same when you confess something, it's not just speaker is I

confess that this church is blessed, that my marriage is blessed, even though

you know we're going through a time whereby you know, husband and wife is

talking and thinking about divorce. But I don't want I believe and I trust

that the Lord has something better. And you begin to stand up and you

take control of twenty twenty four, and you say, God, I know

I'm in a mess, but I can confess. Oh that rhymes. I

know I'm in a mess, but I can still confess. I know I'm

in a mess, but I can still confess. Don't let the enemy rob

you of your words, and don't, worse still, don't let him put

words in your mouth, as they cannot want las sure Diana, you see,

and then we are confessing, and that confession is the same thing.

It might not be truth, but it's truth to you. And you also

have to accept that sure die one. Then you have to surrender to sure

die wan, and then you have to expect sure die one. But when

you confess the truth and confess the word, you see. I'm spending so

much time on this because I think it's so important for us. When you

go home, you open your door and you begin. If you are the

father of the house, you begin to confess and you speak the word of

the Lord shall be sovereign in my house. And I speaking to my marriage,

and I speak it into my home, and I speaking to my business,

and I accept nothing else but God and his truth and his word.

And I surrender to the mercy of God. And I now stand here in

expectation of what He's going to do. Somebody say, amen, I'm already

structing, even though it's called because I'm telling you, I'm preaching my heart

out to you, because I know on the first day God wants to tell

you it's going to be a great year. So what I was doing,

I guess confessed. And some of you who don't believe in confession very bad.

It's going to be worse. Come on, are you catching it or

not? Come on, even if you are in a mess, you can

steal confess. Next one, Thank you x TV. I can't remember what's

the next one. But for in one heart, for the heart, word

believes into righteousness. With the mouth, confession is made to sell. You

know why salvation comes because you confess it. You speak the truth. You

expect to be safe. Next one. The words of a tale bearer are

like tasty trifles. They go down into the inmost body. That's one thing.

That's that's the power of words, the power of gossip. That's what

I'm telling you right now. I say to you, watch not just what

you hear, but what you're listening to, because when the words come in

and you're concentrating on those words and you're believing in those words, it starts

to come into your inner most beings. You know sometimes that you can be

listening like some of you, hopefully not lie. You're sitting here, you're

hearing me preach my heart out, and then you go in here out.

Then when you go outside, you shake hands, they're gring for a branch,

you're eating brunch nicely out there, and say they say, do you

like pass message? Actually? What did he say? Again? Because we

can be here and not here, maybe it's gonna go into the next inspiration

book. You can be here but not here. So it's not about just

watch what you hear. Is watch what you're listening to, because when you're

listening, you're listening as over your eyes, your whole being, and what

happens is that it goes into your inner most parts. So the hearing that

doesn't move you is nothing to be concerned about. So how do you ask

you you're listening to second music from the radio, all right? Some Christians

are like that. I go like hearing the hearing, but I'm not listening.

I tell you, you asked me about the lyrics of any of these

songs that I like. I don't know the lyrics. Seriously, my wife

is probably better. Super sci super shi Okay, I I am super blur

when it comes to thesecard things. Yeah, it doesn't affect me. Doesn't

affect me. You know, Sunny or you Sonny? You passed by a

disco and there's blacking music, and lady, because I was taught in church,

can I hear? Can I hear? No? Sometimes when you sit

down. Also, there's some gossip that goes around here. Two minutes three

minutes are to cook line. I don't want to listen in very different because

when you listen in it will go into your inmost body. And why why

have I changed? Why has that person who once upon a time was a

very nice person? Because it goes in like cancer. So it's not about

just hearing, it's about listening. And I pray that all of you are

listening to this message because you can also go into your inmost being and change

you. Somebody say amen, all right, come on, I don't have

that much time you have left. Let's let's let's look, uh, okay,

further and lips with a wicked heart like earth and where covered with silver

draws. Let's move on. You can be very fervor in your lips and

you can talk, you can talk all the right talk, but in your

heart you're not in the right place. Uh So, I think I think

enough of problems. Change six. Let's move on. I think you get

the picture. You get the picture, all right? Uh oh? I

love this, but I'll probably explain it later. I don't have time now.

This is what the lot taught me about three years ago, how to

go against people talking against me. But anyway, let's let's move on.

What's the next slide? Eyes? What's the first one? Yes? What's

the second one? Hard? What's the third one? Mouth? Or some

of you are listening, praise God? What's the fourth one? Eyes?

Provers for Let's go back to that again. Okay, it says, let

your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids. What even talk about eyelids?

You know? Huh? When I was growing up, I didn't have

any double eyelids at all. And I found out I had the double eyelids

only when I wake up and I rub my eye and I look at the

min no while, but triple eyelids. You know all HI did inside so

the Bible eyelids. Let your eyelids look straight ahead all right? Before you

what does? What does the message say? Keep your eyes straight ahead?

Ignore all sides, show this life along side, show side, show distructions.

All right. Okay, so eyes very important. Let's let's move on.

Ah Matthew six twenty two, twenty three. Okay, this one's gonna

blow your mind. It's gonna blow your mind. So I want you to

follow me in the next few minutes. I'll do this. Let's do it

as quickly as we can. In the next cripture, please, Matthew six,

I think they're looking for it. Halloweyah, pase, God, how

you are doing? Okay, wonderful? Hey man, You and Daniel to

come and share as we wait for there. Okay, here we are Matthew

six twenty two. The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore

your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. So

come on, people, twenty twenty four. Do you want your body to

be full of light? Of course, right as you start, your eye

your eye twenty three. But if your eye is bad, or how can

your I be better? Your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore

the light that is in you is darkness. How great is that darkness?

I confess over all of you that this sale will be a year of light

for you, and your whole body will light up. And when you light

up, you will shine for Jesus and everybody around you go like something about

this person. Everywhere else is negative. She or he is full of positive

light. I love hanging around this person, always encouraging, always full of

positive words. Hallelujah. Let's look at the next scripture because I'm getting to

it. Judge, not that you be not judged. So the scripture,

the scripture that speaks about the eyes, the lamb of the eyes, is

actually a scripture that talks about judging. Judge, not that you be not

judged. Jesus is talking about judgment and judging when he's talking about the eyes.

Let's move on to the next one. If you don't believe me,

look at Matthew seven two. For with what judgment you judge, you will

be judged, and with the measure you use, if we've measured back to

you, is there another verse? Why do you are famous? Verse?

Famous? Famous verse? Pastor Kendle's chin is gonna tell you towards the end

of his message not just watch what you see, because a lot of people

are thinking that Pasta is going to say, don't watch this movie, don't

watch Netflix, don't watch Extra, don't watch this, don't watch that.

So you're ready. Idly you're preparing yourself, or don't watch video games,

so you're preparing it. Okay, And yet the Bible is not talking about

what goes in It's talking many times about what goes out of your eyes.

So I think too many times we only watch out for what we watch,

which we should. But God is more interesting is what comes out? Judge,

do you know you can look at somebody and not say a thing and

make the first fullow feel really down? You know the spec in your brother's

eye, but why do you consider the plank in your own eye? Next

verse? Or how can you say to your brother, let me remove the

spec from your eye and look, a plank is in your own eye?

Wow? Planing? You know? Next one? Hip Okay, what a

way to start the morning? Hip hop creep? First remove the plank from

your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the spec from

your brother's eye. Wow. Can we keep reading? What's the next scripture?

Now? I this is the one that got me going, probably thirty

verse seventeen. I was looking. I was typing, bring me to the

scripture that says the eyes are the window to your soul, because I thought

I saw it somewhere before. The eyes are the window to your soul.

And it keeps bringing back to Proverbs thirty seventeen. Every way I type,

it brings me back to Proverbs thirty seventeen. And he says the eye that

mocks his father. Wow, you can actually make your father feel mocked just

by the way you look at him. You can scorn your mother, you

can look down on people, disrespect this honor just by the way how you

look, how you perceive. So it's not just what you watch. I'm

not talking about Netflix though. Today. I don't want to spend my time

talking about Netflix. I want to talk about spend my time talking about how

you see people, how you look at people and respect them and honor them,

and you know, just love them and be merciful to them as God

has been merciful to you. And be kind to them with your eyes.

Wow, there is a punishment for those of us who don't use our eyes

correctly. The ravens will pluck it out. I tell you, I do

want to share this with you. I want to do it was one verse.

I thought you the verse could just stop at his mother, stop at

his mother saying okay. But then this is one verse. God is so

into your eyes, not what you are looking at, but how you look

at others that he's saying. I'm telling you right now, those very eyes

are only worth for one thing, the ravens to pluck it out. Oh

God, please change the way we see people. Please change the way we

see the poor. Please change the way we see church leadership. Please change

the way we see each other. If there's any animosity between Kuta community and

Klang and I know there's none, but please God, change the way I

see x Clang. They are my brothers, my sisters, their family,

and ex Clang Xua community is to you family. We are one, although

we are separated, and we don't want to judge each other, so we

love each other in it. That's the way we got to do it.

This year is gonna be so different. The way we see Okay, let's

close this last lap. What do we have? X TV help me out

here. This is my first time ever preaching this. You know feet,

prop of sore, prof of sow. What does it say, propab fall.

Let's go back to it as we close. Ponder the path of your

feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the

right or the left. Remove your foot from evil. What does the message

say? Watch your step and the road will stretch out smooth before you look,

neither right nor left. Leave evil in the dust. When we talk

about feet, what are we talking about? What are we talking about?

Let's move on. Your word is a lamp to my feet. The reason

why sometimes we don't walk with confidence is because we don't even know where we're

going. There is no other promise that there will be like to your feet

or to your path except the word of God. I like how it ends

with feet, but it goes back to ears. I tell you why,

because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. And in

Second Corinthians five seven it says walk by faith, not by side. Have

we been walking by faith in twenty twenty three or just by facts and by

financial reports? And by you know, whatever it is that people are saying,

and what have we been hearing? Have we been hearing by faith?

Because if we don't hear by faith, we won't walk by faith. It

starts by hearing. I choose this year twenty twenty four to hear words of

faith, things of faith, you know, lovely words of God. The

words of God are words of faith. And when I hear God's word telling

me how to live my life, I feel my heart, I speak with

my mouth, I see and judge with my eyes according to the word,

and I walk by faith everybody, okay, not by side. Palms one

one nine, one zero five just says that right, your word is a

lamb to my feet, like to my path. Second acording to this five

to seven says walk by faith, not by sight. I'm closing now and

I just want to give you a summary. Here we go. Watch not

just what you hear, but how you listen, because it goes in like

trifle, and it will go in like cancer if you're not careful. Watch

number two, not just what you feel, but what you feel your heart

and mind with too many of us are going just my feelings. But we

need to fill our hearts. Number three, Watch not just what you say,

but what you confess. Number four Watch watch not just what you see,

but how you perceive, how you perceive. Listen, I give you

a quick story. The woman at the well joins up the four What did

she see? A Jew? A Jewish man? And she says, you

have nothing to do with a Samaritan. Yes, But she went deeper and

from a Jewish man she said, I perceive that you are a prophet.

I love that. So it's not just about what you see, because what

you seek and me wrong. But I pray that today, this year,

we will learn to perceive. And she went from I see you a Jewish

man. Of course Jesus didn't even say he was Jewish. But the eyes

can see on the natural his skin color, you know, the voice,

the tone of his language, all that, I know you are a Jew.

And sometimes, if that's what we are stuck with, then twenty twenty

four is going to be miserable. But move from just seeing. And it's

not about Netflix, it's not about video games. Move from how you see,

how you see, not what you see? How you see, I

see a prophet. And finally she saw the Messiah and it changed her life

and the lives of the people in her city. Do you want to see

transformation in your city? Do you want to see transformation in your family?

Learn not just what you see, but how you see, how you perceive

and judge rightly, Judge rightly in accordance to God's truth. Finally, watch

not just what Watch not just where you walk, but how you walk.

Watch not just where you walk, but how you walk. How do we

walk? Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, by faith, not just

my feelings. By faith, Father, in the name of Jesus. Today,

I pray humbly that I am found faithful to deliver your word that you

gave me just last night. I pray that your word, Father, will

go forth and not return to your void, but it will accomplish the purpose

for which you said. You love us so much that you gave us your

word, so that we can be better, not bitter. So whether we

can be blessed, not curse, so that we can change our situation,

not just by money or by our own smartness, but by the word.

The Word says death and life are in the power of the tongue. So

I'm going to use my tongue. I'm going to confess the word. It

starts with the word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word.

To fill my heart with the word, I want to speak the word.

I want to see and perceive through the word, and I want to walk

by the word as I walk by faith. We hope you've been blessed by

this message. For more information on our church, please visit aschurch do org.
