God Is God | Elder Terence Atkinson

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

will light up your day. I've got a word of the Lord to share

with you. And for some it will be a reminder. For some,

it will be a blessing. For some it will be encouragement. For some

it might even be rebuked. But whatever it is, it is a meeat

message. Okay. It's a meat message, okay. And when the slide

comes on we will begin. God is God. But all me know that

God is God. You know, we have forgotten sometimes the way we live

just who God is, and that might be a problem. You see,

if we constantly remind ourselves just who God is, we will be on safe

ground. We will put ourselves in a position to see God work in our

lives each end, every day. But the thing is, it's very easy

to forget, isn't it. It's very easy to forget that God is God.

And I hope and I pray that by the end of this message we

will have a clear indication of just who God is. In Daniel four seventeen,

it says this decision is by the decree of the watchers, and the

sentence by the word of the Holy ones in order that the living may know

that the most high rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whom

ever he will, and sets over it the lowest of men. For he's

the Lord, he's Jehovah. He's the I Am, like he said,

and he proved his own divinity when he rolls up from the dead, his

messiah in Manuel. And that don't pass the test. The Book of God

said, He's the Word of God, come in the flesh. He's the

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

omega beginning, and then he's the first, and he's the last. And

if you're still confused, read no words left to say. He told us

he was God. He proved that he was God. He told us he

was God, God, God, And that's just the way it is.

This was a song I was listening to as I was praying for the message

this morning. I spent several hours in prayer worship, and while I was

worshiping, the song came. That's I've got to share it with you because

that's exactly what it is, and that's just the way it is. There

was another song I heard, Jesus is the light. Jesus is the light.

Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus is the light. Jesus

is the light. Jesus is the light of the world, calling in all

saints, calling all sinners, calling every boy and girl. It's tight body

right, It's tight body right. Jesus is the light of the world.

That's another song. You know what he was telling me. Remember, remember

who Jesus is. You know when I was preparing for this message, you

know this passage where it came from, right Daniel, Chapter four, verse

seventeen. Nebu Canza. You know when I was asking Pastor. You know

when I was sharing this message with Pastor because I always do that, and

I just couldn't remember how to spell Nebukanza. I tried say in the message

because I'm doing it from the phone, so I didn't want to flick and

so find me, I said, and Pastor is talking about Nebu. I

just couldn't get you right. Then later on I remember how to spell it.

Okay, n ebuha d n e z z at aar Nebukana. You

know the story about Nebukaneza. Nebu Kanessa is very much like you, and

are you believe that or not. He ruled in a kingdom where he he

was god. You see the song said Who's God Jovah? But this guy

thought he was God. He ruled the whole world, and it went to

his head. Sometimes we rule our lives right, things are going well,

money's coming in, everything seems to be going fine, and we forget and

we think that we are our own gods. Let me tell you something,

right, what happened to Nebukneza for seven years? He became like a cow.

Did you ever stop to think just what happened during those seven years?

Imagined a man whose fingernails are not cut for seven years. Imagine a man

whose hair has not been cut in seven years. Talk about the fact that

he hadn't had a bath for seven years. Oh, it would have been

gross, and I suspect he would have had lice. He would have spent

most of his time scratching. But the thing is how to scratch when your

fingernails are six feet long? Because seven years what he didn't cut, how

difficult it would have been. Hey, don't forget about that. What kind

of food was eating? He was eating? Grass? Did you think it

was special grass? I've flown from some special place. You know, when

I told you when I first got saved, I got saved in a church

that was in a prime all estate. It was a small church. I

didn't get saved in a church like this or right. It was a hot

I got saved in a hut, all right. And to go to that

church you had to walk along grass paths, okay, and cows raised in

those places, and everywhere you stood there were booby traps. Yeah, there

were booby tras. And you know what's the thing, cowgrass? You know

what they call it? Cow grasses. Sometimes it grows along it covers these

booby traps. So you think you're standing on solid ground, and the next

thing you know, you stand in it. And then you smell for the

whole day. And the smell of the cowdown permeated this place that I got

saved. But you want to know something, God was still God, and

he was still holy. And when I went into that church after two hours

of worship, two hours of preaching, and in the second two hours of

worship, the Lord filled that place with his presence and spoke to my year

and said, Terrence, you're not a Christian. Accept me now, and

without telling anybody I received the Lord. Here we give an opportunity to people

to accept the Lord after church every Sunday, and some don't know whether to

put up their hands or not. How many rich people today think they're eating

the best steaks when actually what they're eating is grass that has been flavored with

kaodom, because that's what nehbuk ate. By the way, you think the

animals got bathroom, they peed wherever they wanted to pee, and that was

the grass he ate for seven years. You see, when you come against

the Lord, you come against God. You put yourself in a position where

you don't live like you should. And the worst thing is you don't even

know. You don't even know. You know, the world's condition today is

kind of weird, all right, everything's going haywire. And I remember sharing

with you the reason why the world is going crazy is because scripture says the

love of God has grown cold? How is the love of God in your

lives today? I was really excited, I mean I was, you know,

I felt like a walk on air. After four hours of prayer and

worship that you know, for this service, praying for this service, I

just wanted to I felt I could run hundred miles. You know, it

was such a wonderful thing. But the world is so into themselves that they're

forgotten who is God? Hey, let the world do that. But do

you know that you are not of this world? Do you know that God

has separated you from this world? You are not of this In fact,

you could even say you're alien. Your home is where, your home is

heaven. You are what does the Bible call you? Here? So journalus

travelers? Hey, have you been hearing about the wars and all the rumors

of wars? Ai predicts world War three? Did you know that nothing will

happen without God? Sesul? Because Ai doesn't know Jesus. You and I

know Jesus. Why do we pray for the peace of Jerusalem? Actually,

you can go to the next light. Why do we pray for the peace

of Jerusalem? Do you know why we pray for the peace of Jerusalem?

Because when Jerusalem is at peace, so are we. When Jerusalem is not

at peace, we are all in trouble. You know, I used to

say that we pray. We used to have messages in the seventies that Jesus

is coming again soon. Right, That's something that we in the seventies and

the eighties, grew up in am I right or not? Jesus is coming

soon. You go to any church, He's coming soon. Are you ready

or not? They'll ask you is your life in order or not? Have

you got everything said in place? Those of you that were saved in the

nineties, the year two thousands, how often do you hear that? Next

to never? But I got news for you. Jesus is coming again,

and you know how soon it can be. Israel just shot one of its

missiles and destroyed something in Iran. Right, This was I think close to

their nuclear side. It was a precision missile. Now, Israel shot one

missile and hit its target one hundred percent. Iran shot three hundred missiles and

one missile landed in the middle of nowhere. Zero percent. You want to

come against God's people, But just so you know that China has taken the

lead in trying to mend fences for the Palestinian people, which means China is

acting in a way that Scripture talks about in the Book of Revelations when it

says two hundred million kings of the East will march against Israel. And what

did Jaho Jimin that's his name, the president of China. What did he

say a few years ago at a more one's notice, China can put up

two hundred million people for the army. When Scripture I told you, I

remember telling you when Scripture wrote about that, there wasn't even two hundred million

people in the face of this earth. Hey, guys, we are living

in exciting times and the only way you and I are going to survive is

if we remember and if we love the Lord. So wars do we have

them? Why do we have them? We have them because Scripture prophesied wars

and rumors of wars. Do we get involved in this fight of the Middle

East? We don't. We don't. Why don't we? It's a no

way situation, which is why God was very wise when he said for the

peace. That's how we get involved. Pray for peace. Hey, famines,

men, famines. The last great famine was Ethiopia. Right, you

remember that, you guys were too young nineteen eighty four. We are the

world, we are the people. We are the ones who make a barrier

other day. So let's start giving. You heard that song that was put

together to raise funds for the Ethiopians in that great famine of nineteen eighty four.

Do you know why the people suffered famines? It's a word starting with

G, a five letter word reed, greed only because of greed. Did

you know that tons and tons and tons of food were sitting on the docks

but never reached the people because men had said, you want this food to

get out, pay me, greed, I want to share with you.

By the next great famine we may see, and that's the famine of electric

vehicles. Let me explain, so a lot of us have been caught up

with this garbage that greenhouse gases are such that we should stop using fossil fuels.

That is the greatest lie soul to you and I Why is that?

Because the idea is to put our power in the hands of whom China.

Did you know that you see when when when vehicles stop using petroleum, they're

going to have to use what ev They're going to have to use batteries,

which is the world's greatest supply of batteries, China. You know, America

stopped pumping oil right so much so that from an energy sufficient producer it is

now become an energy needer. And who did they go to thanks to Biden,

they go to China. If when all these vehicles have stopped, If

when gas petroleum pumps have stopped, and China just has to say, I'm

not giving you the batteries anymore, what happens to the US? It's finished.

Because you think they can produce oil straight away, it will take you

a few years. Are you aware? Let me explain what it means by

famine that comes out of electrical vehicles. When you have eighteen wheelers, these

are big, huge trucks that supply food, for example, throughout the States

and even Malaysia and Asia, whatever it is, the big trucks that take

the food everywhere. The cost of one petroleum truck is one third the cost

of an electric truck. Did you know that? So if a big eating

wheeler costs one hundred thousand dollars, the electrical vehicle, you know, replacement

will cost three hundred thousand. Guess who will pay for that? You and

I never mind, we pay for it. Let's say we can. We've

got the money to pay for it. Right. You fill up gas in

the petroleum track one time, can go from here from Singapore to Police.

You have electrical vehicle got to stop in Pontian, then stop in KR,

then stop in EPOT, then stop in wherever, because it can only go

about what two hundred kilometers on a full pump? And how long does it

take you to pump? Two hours, three hours, six hours? And

get this, this is the most silly thing I'm about to explain to you.

Where is this electricity coming from to power the trucks? Where from the

petrol run power plants? Dumb or not? It's the greatest lie that's sold

to you. And let's not get caught up in this. I think about

it, Go and read. Do you know that the amount of greenhouse gases,

or rather the temperature or the amount of carbon dioxide in the air that

has risen over the last few hundred to one thousand years is only about one

percent? But we have been sold this lie that it is our whole,

be all and end all of existence. Do you know that it's roughly about,

if I'm not mistaken, about three percent something like that. Do you

realize that if the carbon dioxide falls to two percent, you and I will

all die because the trees that need carbon dioxide will die, and therefore we

will cease to exist, so again this is another lie. Hey, we

have to be aware. Why am I telling you all these things? Because

God is in control and you and I got to know he's coming again soon

and we have to watch out for what's happening. Pestilence. Man, Okay,

we just went through one pest. It's called COVID nineteen. How long

did this pest last? Is twenty to twenty twenty three, right, we

have more or less, you know, we're coming out of it now.

It's taken a little bit of time for Malaysia. You know, if you

go to Bangkok old, I see the way they recovered. It's a fantastic

man. Within one year that places vastly. There's something to be said for

hard work, all right, Whereas over here it's a little bit different.

There's a new pestilence they talking about. You know what. It's called Hatch

five N one. It's a bird flu Hatch five N one. It's a

hundred times worse than COVID, not one time, not one hundred times worse.

How are we going to live in a world like this? It's a

faith in Jesus, You and I. We don't live by fear. We

live by fear of the Lord. For those that fear the Lord, what

does a Bible say, It's the beginning of wisdom? Pestilence? Hey guys,

earthquakes, it's happening so often it's become a joke if you can believe

it. Taiwan about three weeks ago. I mean, did you see the

pictures of the buildings that were lying on their side. How scary is that?

Man? And then last week it happened again, another round. And

what about the earthquake that happened in Australia. If I'm not mistaken, just

last week, it's happening everywhere. You say, what earthquakes never happened in

Malaysia? Really, Go and talk to Grace Chad of ten thirty service.

She was stuck up Gunong Kiramalo for two or three days when the earthquake hit

and all the parts were destroyed. They had to air fly food and water

to them because they couldn't get down off the mountain. Go and learn from

her story. And even when they came down, they set certain sides.

When they came down, do not look over the side, you know why,

because there were all the bodies of the children who had died from Singapore

who had fallen when the earthquake happened. Scripture has already said that these things

are going to happen, and they are happening right before our eyes. What

some more do we need to wake up? What some more do we need

to tell us to wake up? Hey, guys, you and I've got

children, and the Lord asked me to share this. You and I've got

children? Can you look after your children better than God can? Because when

you say, oh, I'm not coming to church today because my son stopped

the tow on the chair, it's painful for him to walk, so I'm

not coming to church. Do you know that when you have kids you're serving

the Lord and you have kids. Do you know what happens when you have

kids? You continue serving the Lord because the moment you say, oh,

with kids, it's so inconvenience. So I'm going to stop serving the Lord.

You know what you're telling God, I can look after my kids better

than you can. From a very young age, I used to tell my

girls, I got two girls. I used to tell them Daddy and Mommy

aren't going to be around forever. So you need to know who Jesus is

you need to get him in your life, and you need to rely on

him because when we're not around, he will be your source. From a

very young age. I tell you two incidents. You think it's easy to

let your girls go. You think it's easy when they're growing to say no,

you handle it? Or are you going to be bussing them from point

A to point B all the rest of your life? Is that going to

be the way I thought my girls how to carry themselves when I'm not around.

I tell you something about my younger daughter. She was in college and

she heard her friend crying. You know why. She heard a friend crying

because her big bully of a boyfriend from uh you know, one of these

Arab countries was hitting her and slapping her around. You know what my daughter

did. She went in, she caught the guy and she threw him off.

He threatened her. So I told my daughter go and make a report.

She did. What did that university do? Absolutely nothing? Because the

Arab's got a lot of money, honey. A couple of days later,

my daughter tells me I'm being followed. I said, really, okay,

how did this happen? She told me? I say, okay, from

now on for the next week. You take your same route. I'll follow

in the car because when I find a guy. You see, God did

not put me on earth as a parent to close my eyes. All right,

If it's up to me, the person gets two chances. He gets

the left, he gets the right cheek. When it comes to my children

or my wife, there will either be breakage or fraction. I'm clear.

I'm clear about this. So I followed my daughter and thank god the guy

left. Then I my other daughter. She studied in the heart of Care.

How many of you know Care is a happening place again, Buttaralingstree is

very happening. How many you know you have men dressed up as women asking

you for favors. You know that or not? Are you aware? Always

my daughter will be hit on by them. Yeah. So my daughter was

studying in that college and it's very scary. What did I do? I

told her, don't be one of those keys who's got the year plugs on

and who's oblivious to life. You come out of your college, you stop,

you look left, you look right, take note of everybody all around

you, who's on motorbikes, who's standing, who's watching? Before you walk

and when you walk, know where your safe places are on your left and

then you're right. And whatever you do, do not wear slippers because if

you have to run, you cannot run while you're wearing slippers. So make

sure you wear shoes. And for one week I followed her. I went

with her, told her this is where you look, this is what you

do, this is I did that because I cannot be with her every day.

You think I'm gonna go and pick up at ten o'clock at night one

terrible father, No I cannot. Why can't I Because at some point of

time in her life, I'm not going to be around. So she better

learn how to look after herself. When her class finishes at ten o'clock at

night. One day, she called me, Dad, I'm being followed.

What did I tell you to do? Okay, there's this seven eleven yearby.

I say, go there and wait for me. Then I come and

I look for whoever is following her. He's left again. If I see

the guy breakage or fracturing either him or me. You see. But God

gives you a family, Make no mistake. This is how you do things.

But you have to teach them the ways of the Lord. You cannot

be there every day. This is the mistake that some of us make because

we think that we can look after them better than God can. It will

never happen. You know, there's a great danger in life. What is

this danger? And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow

cold. The love of many will grow cold. You know, your resource,

your strength, your power comes from what the love of God? Because

the world doesn't love you. But you know, if God is for you,

who can be against you? And who is not the name of a

person. It simply means no one will show up to fight God. Nobody

shows up to fight God. But you want to know something, the fool

says in his heart, there's no God. So let's not be what the

scripture calls fools. You and I we know God, We believe him.

We know he exists. He's powerful, he's amazing. How does God work

in your life? You know, I give you a lot of testimonies about

things. Right then you say, oh, what can God? Do?

You know? This watch? You know this watch. It's very irritating because

the hands are such that whenever I bend my hand like this, the watch

will switch off. The watch will go you know, we'll go off.

So sometimes when I sleep on the bed, my hand, you know,

I want to put it like that, and then the watch will go off.

And I need this watch to be on because it's my alarm. I

don't like the alarm waking the mabele arm. So this buzzers of my hand,

so it must be on. So I didn't know what to do.

I went to God, say, God, I loot this watch. Always

give me trouble. You know, God will even give you the answer.

You know what God told me. Make it a right hand watch. Ah,

make it a right hand watch. Yes, make it the right So

do I put it on my right hand? I don't like wearing the watch

on my right head. But then what I did was I just followed the

Lord's leading and I went to settings, and there was a setting change the

watch to right hand. The moment I changed the watch to right hand,

the face turned upside down. When the face turned upside down, I took

my watch off. I changed my strap and now I'm wearing my watch on

my left hand. And look at where the dials are. Doesn't switch off

any more? You mean God will do that for you? Do you believe

would you believe. When I was us just married, we didn't have much

money. We didn't and you know how long my guest tank lasted me?

First guest tank that no electrical No, no, I mean God electric love.

But no, we didn't have electric cooker. We didn't have what's the

other one, induction cooker or you just had gas cooker. Right, guess

how long my guest tank lasted me? Was wrong? Eighteen months. The

miracle still continues until today, except that nowadays the guess tank lasts me about

one year. You mean these kind of things happen, Yes, they do.

Do you believe? I believe? You see, I believe that God

can do these kind of things for me. And that's why it always happens.

I told you about the TV, how I fixed the TV, and

how many things happen. Why is that because God helps me? But just

so you know that God is in my life not only for my own enjoyment,

if I can put it that way, but there is also the spiritual

part where God helps. There was this man that was sick, dying of

cancer. So the first time, and the Lord spoke to me and said,

go and share with him. So I went to share with him,

and this is not the one that I shared in hospital. This is a

new one, okay. And I went to share with him, but he

didn't accept the Lord. And I said, oh God, you told me

to go and share with him. I expect him to receive the Lord.

So I left it. Three weeks later, I find out he's in hospital.

So I prayed and I prayed and I prayed, and another lord said,

go, okay, I'm going on. I'm going to see him.

But I heard that someone told me the reason why he did not accept the

Lord because he he told God, God, I want to see you first.

Oh that's a very very amazing thing to ask God. All right.

So I thought about it and say, God, what do I do?

So the Lord just told me badminton. What is badminton got to do with

saving somebody? I want to see him. And when I was there,

he was lucid, he was awake. He was talking to me. Then

I said, I heard you said you want to see Jesus before you accept

the Lord. So I said, do you play badminton? He said yeah,

I used to play very good. I said, Jesus has served the

shuttle to you. When he said for God to love the world that he

gave his only begotness. And whosoever believes in him, she's not perish,

but have everlasting life. Jesus died for your sin, man. He served

the shuttle to you. The shuttlecock is in Who's court? Now you want

to see Jesus react. You gotta do something. You got to send that

shuttle back to him, and that sending the shuttle back to him is called

faith. You need to believe because if you're asking Jesus, oh, you

got to do it first. He is waiting for you. You already served

the shadow cock to you. He's just waiting for your return. Then I

told him, you want to see Jesus. Look around you, man,

Look at the people who are looking after you. You're paying them. The

man is dying by the way, And I told him, are you paying

them? No, be are doing it because they love you. And why

do they love you? Because Jesus loves them and Jesus loves you. With

tears in his eyes, I asked him, do you want to receive the

Lord? He said yes, and he made a decision for Jesus. This

was last week. You see, God does not only answer my press for

myself, he answers my prass for somebody else. Hey, if any of

you have anyone who is you know, going to see the Lord soon and

you need help to bring them to the Lord, don't wait, Okay if

you do not, if you need help, please ask me. I will

see them because I want to snatch them out of the jaws of death and

I want and I want them to see Jesus as a friend. This is

what God does for us. Then I found out he just shared a testimony.

He says, you know what, one day there was this bright light

in the room and the outline of a man, but I couldn't see his

face. So Jesus did answer that prayer man, Jesus appeared to him,

and a couple of days ago, he says, you know what, I

was sleeping. When I got up, I saw two men in white.

They were bright light, two men in white, and they were talking to

each other. And then after a little while, both of them just disappeared.

You know what. Those two men were angels. So I looked at

at this person and I said, spend as much time as you can with

this man, because I believe very soon he's going home. Preparations are being

made. Wow, So what does this all mean? What does this all

mean? It means this God is God and we are not. God is

God and we are not. You know, ever, ask yourself this question,

whose heaven are we going to? Hey? Man, Who's heaven are

we going to? Is it one fashioned by our own beliefs of right and

wrong? I was listening to this gospel singer Scott Wesley Brown and he was

singing, fool fools, so much fools hoo much for the right to defend

their sin. You know what group that is speaking about? Right lgbt i

Q. Jesus loves these people, by the way, He does not love

their lifestyle, but he loves them. But you see, this is the

world that we live in now, where right has become wrong and wrong has

become right. You want to send your kids to Australia to study, make

sure you prepare them for what they're about to find down there, because the

application form is mister missus and others. Do you know. There's a lady

and I heard this testimony. It's not a testimony, it's a story.

She lost her child because the government took the child away from her. Because

the boy said he wanted to be a girl, and she refused. He

reported to the authorities, and the Australian authorities took this boy away and she

has not seen her child in two years. You know what they're doing.

They are prescribing all kinds of medication and very soon surgery will take place.

Hey, guys, I don't care if you're one of these stars that's taking

male hormones and grown facial hair and doing weightlifting to get muscles and removing their

tops through surgery and maybe even doing hysterectomies. I don't care because at the

end of the day, no matter what you try and change on the outside,

on the inside you will always be a she. See, God's not

a fool. God's not confused, even though mankindly be confused. You want

to help someone, you can love them, but that doesn't mean you have

to be blinded and follow all this nonsense. Oh, I'm a she called

me a shee, although you're a heap. Hey, you want to call

yourself a cat, a rat, a dog. That's up to you,

men, but that's your stupidity, not mine. Whose heaven are we going

to is fashion by our beliefs? Uh? You think God is made in

our image, because if we call the shots, then actually we are saying

God, you were made in my image. I'm the boss, I'm the

boss. Do you think heaven is filled with our strife? An extension of

our earthly battles? Hey, guys, if you don't forgive, it's going

to be very difficult for you to be in heaven. You know why not

because the one you don't forgive might just be there. How are you going

to manage it? Get over it now, man? But it says you

have to to close your eyes. You know you can forgive someone. I

mean you don't have to have anything to do with them, You don't have

to aggravate yourself, but recognize one thing, You just might find them in

heaven. So you better forgive. Men. Forgiveness had better be a top

thing in your life. And that's why if you don't forgive, you may

just find yourself not there, because heaven is not an extension of our earthly

strife. Get over it, ah, This one is the amazing one.

Do you think heaven is a place for sensual pleasure? The Bible says that

men that men and women are not married or given in marriage when they're in

heaven. They are like the angels. Right. I think it was Jesus

who said, you don't understand, you don't understand. But there are some

who believe that when they do some kind of nonsense here on earth, when

they go to heaven, it's one big heram. You and I better get

with the program. Heaven is God's doman. Heaven is where God resides.

So if we don't do things the way God does things, we may just

find ourselves not there. Let's get with the program. The Last Day is

in second Timothy three two to four it says for men will be lovers of

themselves. Why does all this craziness happen in the world today? We're full

so much for the right to justify their siny. Why is that because the

lovers of themselves the lovers of money? Hey, money is good money.

How many of you don't like money? Can I see show hands? Nobody

here? How many of you? How many you like money? Can you

see show hands? Hey? I like money? Okay, I'll be telling

you it's it's hard to live without money, right, But the Bible says

that love. If you love money, then you put yourself in danger.

So the first time I shed this message, I made a mistake. I

said I love money. Actually, what I meant to say was I like

money. So I corrected myself the second time I sheard this word. So

I'm just letting you know it's okay to like money, but like money in

its right place, because those who are lovers of money and they are those

who just you know, love money so much that they don't love God.

They're boasters, they're proud, they're blessed. Females. Disobedience, disobedient to

parents. Hey, guys, you love your parents, and not if you

haven't told them you love them this week, go and tell your mom and

your dad I'm sorry for all the things I've done wrong. Please forgive me.

I love you very much. But that's not what Asians do, right,

correct? Hey, your child tells you they love you, how does

it make you feel? Makes you feel good? Right? How do you

think your parents will feel after the initial shop when I first told my parents

I love you? And what's wrong? What's wrong? They thought I was?

You know, I say, nothing is wrong. I say. If

I don't tell you that I love you when you're around, what is the

good of telling you? I love you when you are not, I might

as well tell you while you're alive to hear it, isn't it? And

guess what you know? Who tells me they love me? Now? My

parents they tell me. And until that time we started it, they never

told me that. I never once heard it for thirty years. But because

of what I learned from my children, I practiced it with my parents.

And now they can do that. And guess what they started doing it to

my siblings, and my siblings started doing it to them. Hey, when

you see your siblings, do you go and give them a hug? Because

that's what we do. Now. You see, it's a movement, it's

it's it's started. Hey, you appreciate somebody? Tell them now? What

for you want to wait when they're not around? Doesn't make any difference,

doesn't make any sense. You appreciate them. Tell them now, unloving,

unforgiving and forgiving. You see that disobedient parents and thankful and holy, unloving

and forgiving, be careful and forgiving. Slenderers without self controled, brutal despises

of good traitors? What forgiving is in the same line as traitors, headstrong,

haughty lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Guys, be careful,

Okay, I'm gonna speed up here. What's up with men? The

men thinks he are smart, He has the brains to accomplish everything. Craig,

Now, huh, you got Steve Jobs, you got Ellis, Bob

Ellis, you got all these people, you got Bill Gates a lot of

money, right, But you know what they're like, hows eating grass?

Because that's exactly what scripture says, when you don't know Jesus, living less

than what they should be living with all that money, they are living less,

Yes, because without Christ they go to a christless eternity. Do you

know that men always believes they were capable of reaching their goals? You read

Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel was men so combined together, so

in sync with one another, so unified, that he built a tower.

Do you know if you read the scripture? Know what scriptures is? They

actually built the tower. It wasn't half completed. They completed it. And

you know, you know I did some reading. You know. Some writings

say that the tower reached three times the height of the bird Khalipha. Some

say it reached one third the height but whether it was one third or three

times makes no difference. The fact that the matter was they were unified among

themselves without God, and God came down and said, this is never going

to happen again, and he confused them through their language. And so now

you find that although man is very successful individually, do you know that they

are not unified. I want you to know this. This is a hard

statement to take. And this is the meat and not the milk. You

and I have got no right to succeed without the involvement of Jesus. I'll

say it again, You and I have no right to succeed without the involvement

of Jesus. Because if we think that we can succeed without the involvement of

Jesus, what are we doing. We are exalting ourselves above God. What

did God come down and do? He confused the people through changing their language.

Man is proud, he believes in himself and has no room for God.

So in Genesis eleven one to six, I'm not going to read that.

You can read that God showed his display measure when they tried to do

it without him. Hey, let's never put ourselves in that position. So

if you're successful and God has not been involved. That's by his grace.

Get on your knees, repent and get him involved. Okay, and I

think I'm going to end with this last two slides. I can do all

things through Christ, who strengthens me. Why do I say this? With

God? Anything is possible. With God, we can change a watch face

to the other side. And I'm sure it was always there. But you

see, I didn't know, but God knew. So he gave a simple

solution and I saw it and he worked. I can do all things through

Christ, who strengthens me. The focus is on who Christ. In Matthew

nine, it says, come to me, all who labor, and I

heavy leaden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you

and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and

you will find rest for your souls. God. And in fact, Jesus

is inviting us to take upon ourselves. He's burdened, which is doable.

Man, You know what light means. I can do all things through Christ

will strengthens me. It's doable. So guys, if you've forgotten everything,

can't remember anything, always remember this. God is God and we are not.

You will get through everything by loving God more and more, and and

you will succeed with His involvement always. We hope you've been blessed by this

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