Your word is a lamp onto my feet and a light onto my path | Elder Mabel Atkinson

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

will light up your day. This message actually came in one of our meetings,

in our prayer meetings in the morning. We actually, I and my

friend we pray every week in our in our housing estate, and this this

scripture came Proverbs three five to eight. I think trust in the Lord.

Yeah, there's a whole passage, but I think it's just put the first

one there because I told him to do that. So anyway, okay,

let me and and and after God gave me this whole worse, he didn't,

He didn't talk to me. I said, God, I have prepare

a message and I need you, I need you to tell me what to

write. And there was silence, there was no you know, nothing from

the Lord. And then something happened to my husband and me. You know,

we hit a place where, oh it was tough, really tough,

and that's when the message started to flow. I think, God, what

waited? You know, God waited to see to give us truth and it

could only come after a valley experience. So it may be that this message

is ministering to somebody, touching somebody, or encouraging somebody. So I would

like to just jump in because I did this and be you and I didn't

have enough time, and so I'm just going to go into it and share

it. Okay, Okay, trust in the Lord with all your heart and

lean not on your own understanding. I want to just give you a very

simple understand about trust. Okay. What is trust? Okay? Trust and

faith? Okay, sometimes we sort of like come, we sort of like

confuse and okay, what is faith? What is trust? So I want

to give you a very simple understanding. Faith is saying there is a chair,

I can go and sit on it. It's going to be all right,

And that's faith. The chair will hold my way. But trust is

actually walking up to the chair and sitting on it and knowing that it's not

going to break under me. It's not going to break you know. That

is trust. Trust is action. There's always an action on our part.

So trust requires an action on your part and on my part. Trust is

built on a relationship. If you don't have a relationship with the Lord,

it's difficult, it's difficult to move, it's difficult to act. Okay,

So remember that without a relation reationship, it will be difficult to do an

action on your part. Okay, there must be a track record. We

have testimonies. God has always given us testimoniy no matter at what stage you

are, God gives us testimonies. But every time we cross a different huddle

when God wants to raise us and God wants to, you know, increase

our faith, we find it hard to jump over that huddle. We find

it hard because it's new and you think, oh, this one is it's

different, you know, and all your trust in the Lord just goes out

the window. You find that, oh, I don't think I can do

this, and all will the Lord come through, easy hearing, easy near

me. So all that comes. So never forget your testimony is never forget

what God has done for you. So the other thing that I want to

tell you is build a relationship with the Lord. Relationship will care carry you

through. Relationship will allow you to actually do that action on your part,

which is faith, believe in the Lord. Okay, uh okay. I

want to go on to the next part. Trust God with everything and not

just with some things. And I want to go to a part that says,

oh, go back to number one, Go back to number one,

trust in the Lord with all your heart all this morning. You know,

we've been having so many functions going on, so many events going on,

that after I shared this in banda Utama, I didn't have time to really

pray about it. And I was like, so that was so undrest in

me. So in the middle of the night I woke up and I and

I prayed and I said, Holy Spirit, I'm always someone who prepares,

and today like I have, even though I shared the message, I'm not

really prepared, you know. I I do and pass. Sandra just told

me you have to we don't have enough speakers. You have to go to

Bandawatama, and I mean go to Umpang and do it again. I'm like,

okay. And God told me, and when when I ask you for

something, never say no. Never be so fast to say no. I'm

not going to do it because I'm always very good at excuses. I always

if someone tells me to do I say no. I don't think I can

do it. No, No, I find someone else, you know.

But God has been teaching me to not to say no so quickly. See,

even me as a leader, I can still go to God and say

no. But God said no more excuses you say yes. So I'm so

scared. Sometimes people are going to tell me, ask me to do something,

and I'm going to be so uncomfortable and i have to say yes.

So that's where action comes in. That's where trust comes in. It's not

by your own strength, it's not by your own will. It's the Lord.

You know, it's the Holy Spirit. You know. It's not by

my not by power, not by your ideas, but by the Holy Spirit.

With the Holy Spirit, you are able to do anything that God calls

you to do. Okay, So remember that it's never by your own mind.

So I must tell myself never buy more. When I'm preaching this message.

Don't think I'm scolding you are I'm actually talking to myself and scolding myself.

Come on, Mabel, you can do this, okay, Okay.

I want to go to the Word all with all your heart. And this

morning, while I was sleeping, God gave me another scripture that said,

you know, the best time that God talks to you is at four or

five o'clock in the morning. And I have pens and pencils all over,

you know, paper all over my bedside table because that's the time he talked

that's the time the best press happened. I'm thinking, like, who's praying

this? I'm so sleepy. I can't be praying such excellent press. And

that's the Holy Spirit praying. I can hear him praying, and it's so

beautiful. And I always become say, how can it be me? It's

no way, I'm sleeping. It cannot be me. And when he gives

you a scripture or when it gives you a message, it's four or five

o'clock in the morning, and that time to switch on the right, to

switch on the light, and to write. It's also very difficult. A

rueterans is sleeping, My little puppy is sleeping. If I were to move

around, everyone will wake up. What's happening? So I always try to

remember what God tells me, and then when I wake up first thing in

the morning, I write it down. So always have pants and papers around

you, because God is constantly talking. So this morning you are telling me

seek it first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added

on to you. If you look at the word all, it's like butter

on bread. You know, it's all over the world of God. All

is in so many scriptures, all is present. We need to know a

little bit about the Lord. When he said, love me with all your

heart, with all your strength, your your might, love me with all

everything, Give me everything. Do you think that it is difficult to do?

Is it difficult to love the Lord with all our heart? Jolie is

saying, yes, sometimes it is difficult. Is it you did? You

did not write Joel? But yet God tells us all give me everything.

The alabastera jar when lazarus sister broke it. Uh. It is said that

the jar of perfume costs one year's one year wage. You know, it's

very expensive. You know, just calculate your salary and say one year.

Maybe she kept it for a special time, you know, maybe she wanted

to get married. She saved that jar to to sell and then she had

the money. But when she loved the Lord, she didn't care what anything.

She just broke the whole jar, you know, for the Lord.

She just loved him. She just loved the Lord, and she just started

to pour it on the Lord, and she anointed the Lord with that oil.

You know, these kind of things actually attract the Lord Jesus Christ.

It stops God wherever he is. You know, when you do these kind

of things are whatever God is doing. Suddenly he stops and he's looking at

you. Wow, that's my son, that's my daughter. She's doing something.

And remember Jesus at the temple when he saw the widow with the two

copper coins, and that caught him. And others were just throwing in money.

They were flounding with money and all kinds of things, and all that

didn't catch his attention. But when the lady gave everything, all the two

copper coins, it caught his eyes and he said something. And until today

we are studying about it. Until today we are reading about the alabasa Ja.

And he said it will be written there and we will read about it.

And until today we are reading about the two copper coins, which is

so small, insignificant. It's so small, but yet it teaches us so

much. I have another scripture here Two Corinthians nine six to eight auh.

Two Corinthians nine sixty eight. Each of you should give what you have decided

in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves

a cheerful giver, and God is able to bless you abundantly. So that

in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you

will abound in every good work. See what God says when you give and

when you don't give, you know with you know, yeah, sometimes it's

difficult when you give. God asked me to actually give my car away,

my beautiful car. Actually I wasn't supposed to give my car when God told

me, bless this person with a car. I I heard God so clearly

because I know this family was suffering no car to move around, and I

know they were really dire state. And Terence had a car. My husband

had a car. I had a car, a beautiful car. You know.

He just gave me that car. I loved it. I always drove

a small Mivy. And then he gave me this nice, a high car.

You know, people don't bully me on the road. You know,

people don't haunt me. A little bit of respect, you know. And

then God says, give the car. I said, okay, Lord,

I will go and talk to Terror. So I thought, Talent's going to

tell me, no, this is a big thing. You know, you

want to give a car. But you know, my husband every time I

said, I've heard from the Lord, and the Lord has asked me to

do that, and he never fights with me no matter what. Sometimes I

feel he should at least say no, wait, let me pray. He

does not. Every time I said the Lord has spoken and he has said

this, he said, let's do it. I have married. I've been

married for thirty four years. Not once when I said the Lord has spoken

and told us to do this, and sometimes God has told us crazy things

to do, he has never fought me. He's always said, yes,

let's do it. And that's the kind of husband I have, So praise

the Lord for that. So when he told me to give the car,

I thought, my husband will say, let's buy him a small, my

week car so I can still keep my car. But then he said,

no, we won't buy a car and give because then it will be our

name. You give me so much of paperwork and difficulty. Let's just give

this car because it's all paid for. It's easy. We can just give

it to him and he can change the name. And it was very,

very difficult. So when God says give your best, you know, don't

give it reluctantly under compulsion. This was really painful because I loved this car.

I really loved this car. It was very, very painful, but

I obeyed and I gave the car away. The family was overjoyed, so

happy, so blessed. You know, I just said, not the key,

take it away. What is he just take it away? You know

I love the car. So God knows, and God will give back.

And when God gives back, he gives it all. He doesn't give ten

percent, twenty percent. When God comes into your situation, he comes hundred

times. He comes with his power, he comes with everything. So when

God comes to meet your need, he doesn't come with ten percent or five

percent. It's not stingy with what he gives. So remember when you give,

God said, and it is in the word that he comes to give,

press down, press down, shaken together, running over, And that's

how God will give. And God will give me a car. Already you

know what I want. I told him the color. I told him the

car. I already speaking about it. I know how it's gonna come.

Usually when when I tell when I have a situation, I always try to

help God. I always try to say, Okay, God, maybe through

like this, maybe like that, it's going to happen like that, It's

going to happen like this through this person, maybe through that person. God

doesn't need all my help. God knows how to do what he needs to

do. If I have, say ten ideas, God has endless ideas how

he can bless me, How can how he can give it back to me?

So remember that when you give, God give you all, give your

best. Serve God. God loves that kind of a heart when you're serving

him and you're giving him everything. Okay, So remember all even it says

when you seek the kingdom, you know all these things, all these things

will be given to you. What is all these things that will be given

to you? Your dreams? How do you think your dreams came? Sometimes

you think, oh, I have a dream to go and study in this

country, work here, work, They get a lot of money. You

know, our ringage is so small. If I go go and work here

so many times more. Who gives you ideas? Who gives you dreams?

God gives you those dream Ever think those dreams come from you. God puts

the dream in there because He wants to fulfill that dream in your life.

So never think it's your own. God put a check first, always check

with the lot, even if he puts crazy dreams always say God, is

this from you? Is this from you? So you know, always check

with a lot. Okay, lean, not twelve o'clock. Already lean,

Okay. God is able to bring all grace abound to it, and you

always have all sufficiency in all things. Okay, we already passed this,

this, this, this, this scripture. Lean on on your own understanding,

Lean on on your own understanding. Yes, how many of you know

that leaning leaning on your own understanding? It's not very steady. Leaning is

actually leaning. Imagine this is very famili at least banda this one. If

I lean on this, I'll go flying. Man. This doesn't even stand

probably, So don't don't lean on your own understanding. Oh my goodness,

if you lean on your own Yeah, some of us are very clever,

very talented, very intelligent. You know, we are people in a marketplace,

ceo clever. We have all kinds of ideas, we can do all

kinds of things, and we think in our life we can also lean on

our own understanding. But there's a danger here because the word says lean not

on your own understanding, Never lean on your own understanding. I have many

ideas, so I always tell myself it's never a steady position. Leaning is

always aping positions, So never your own understanding. Relying lean is also relying

on your own strength and your own knowledge of what you know. How many

of you know that we can make decisions or what we can see. You

know, when we when we look around, we can only make decisions or

what we can see, and we take strength in what we can see,

what we can understand, what we can touch, how we feel about it.

But you know the Lord, when he does things, it's supernatural.

It is out of this world. It is not something that, like I

said, I am helping God how to get my next car? How will

it come? Then? I tell myself stop stop right there and don't give

God a hand, because he knows how to give you what you need.

You know, because we're always thinking, we are people, we are always

thinking, you know, how when is it going to be like this?

So remember never lean on your own understanding. I've known of a person CEO

of our own company, a lot of people working under her, you know,

very successful, very rich. You're not doing very well, but she

did it out of her own understanding. Many things that she does, she

does it on her own understanding, and she thinks this is the way to

do it. Church is like this, God is like these people are like

this, my goodness, and she's making a lot of mistakes. So let's

remember this. Let's go to Philippians four seven and it says the peace of

God which surpasses all understanding Philippians for seven, the Peace of God which surpasses

all understanding. Today we prayed at XPJ of a dear friend who came to

me and she said, you know, when I went to XPJ, the

first thing I said is where is this person? Where is this sister?

And she wasn't because she's the first one you see when you go to XPG,

she's there early serving the Lord. And she wasn't there. And I

kept asking everyone where is she? Where she Finally, when we were outside

here praying and ministering, she came and she told me, Sister Mabel,

can you please, Elder Mabel, can you please pray for my husband.

We had to rush to the hospital this morning. He had chest pain.

Last night he had chest pain and we had to go to the hospital.

And I know that in her mind there was so many things that were running.

They had many children, they have many children, and the doctor actually

said he's okay, but he still had pain. So elder Talants actually gave

more. You know what he should do and not just take those small tests.

You should actually go for a proper test. So you know, our

minds run when we run into a difficulty, we run into so many things.

You know, our understanding takes us crazy places. So I had to

pray that the peace of God that surpassed us all understanding. Our understanding says,

oh he's going to die, or the heart you know, it's going

to stop all kinds of things. You know, when your loved one is

in pain, you sort of like you go crazy, you know. And

being a wife and a mother, of course she's going to go crazy.

When a husband is saying that you know he's having difficulty breathing. So remember

that. You know, when things start to go crazy in your life,

that is your understanding. Put it, let it go quiet, and then

bring God's word in Today. Elder Twans shared an amazing word in XPJ,

so amazing and our and I wanted to I shared this and be you.

I said, when we buy appliances, he always buys me all my phones

and my kitchen appliances. I just have to say, love, I need

this, or I need this pressure cooker, or I need this appliance.

He will go and search for it and he will buy it for me.

But the one thing he always tells me to do is read the manual.

I hate reading manuals because it's so fat, every language, and I don't

know. I'm to search for the English, and then the words are so

tiny, smaller than and I've got to put on my glasses and read it,

and so much to read. Then you say, it's very important that

you know how it works, so it doesn't blow up in your face.

You know, pressure cookersa If you don't read it, it's very dangerous.

So he makes me read. If I get a phone, another thing he

said, read it so you know how to use the phone exactly how it's

supposed to be used today. A phone. I was just thinking when I

was sitting, when I was listening to you, Oh my goodness, I

also have that. You know, God also has given us a manual,

and this is it. If you don't read this, the devil, the

enemy will lie to you and you will believe it. The enemy will push

you around and you'll be okay with it. You know. You don't know

the word. You're lost. You need to know. And this is God's

word to us. This is the manual that we need to read. You

know, appliances all you don't read, you make mistake. Never min This

is life, this is eternal life. You miss it. That's it.

You're not going to get a second chance. God has come to you.

You are here in church because she said, Lord, I believe in you.

I presume that most of you are Christians. You know the Lord.

You know, so read your word. Without the word, you are lost,

you are in darkness. I actually title my message your word is a

lamb onto my feet and a light onto my path. The word brings light

onto your path. When you get stuck, go to the word. Not

just when you get stuck. Every day go to the word. And as

you read the word, you find it. You know, the word says

it's sweeter than honey. I actually started to love the word and started to

read it every day, and I actually told the Lord, Lord, your

word is sweeter than honey. I can taste it. It's so sweet,

it's so good. So don't forget. If you are a child of God,

you need to know who you are, where you came from, where

you're going. Don't let the Lord tell you I don't know you. You

know, I always have that thing, you know, I always tell God

this is maybel checking in. You know, Miah, one day when I

meet you, don't say I don't know you are so I always I always

talk to the Lord. I have a very simple relationship with the Lord.

It's not complicated, it's easy. God comes down to your understanding. Whoever

you are. However you speak, God comes down. If you're very intelligent

and you speak very eloquent, like my husband, you will talk to you

like that. But if you're like hin Chai. You know, chin Chai

is simple, you know, like me, he will come and talk to

you like that. He will let you. He will give you that understanding

where you are. He will bring that understanding. So don't think, you

know everybody have to be a certain way. God tells me that all the

time. You don't have to be like someone else. Just be you.

I made you you, I only want you God. You are precious in

God's lives, each one of you. You are made specially you know,

in his image, perfect in his image. You're correct, how you think,

what you do you are special. There is no one like you.

So don't be like someone else. Don't desire to be like someone else.

Desire to be like Jesus. And another thing I want to share with you

is you know we always sing the song more we want more of you?

Is that we always sing the song I want more of you, more of

you, more of you. I am not your eye have a problem with

that. Let me tell you why every time we sing Lord, I want

more of you, more of you. Yes, I can understand more of

you, we want more of you. But in my own understanding, I'm

thinking the Bible says, you draw near to me, and I will draw

near to you. Doesn't want the Bible say that, right, Selena?

Huh, So you don't have to like like when you say I want more

of you, more of you, and God is saying no. The ball

and he's caught, and he's saying no weight. I don't want weight.

I would think about it whether I want to give you more myself. You

know, we're begging God and there's a tug of war. It's not like

that. God says, you know, you're drawn near to me. Draw

And when God comes near to you, he's not coming in his five percent.

Again, I'm telling you he's coming in his all, in his whole

glory, his power. He's coming to you with his help, with his

angel, He's coming to you with everything. So remember when you're singing the

song, you just have to say, God, I'm drawing near to you,

and I know when I'm drawing near to you, you are drawing near

to me. And I have everything of you, and I don't have to

worry. So remember that. Okay, okay, let's go. The time

now is twelve five. The last time I was in Beu there they already

told me what No, five minutes they showed me and my favorite picture here.

I haven't finished. They told me five minutes, said sorry, I'm

going to finish it. And that's it. Okay, summit. Next thing

is summit, and in all your ways acknowledge and he will direct your part.

And in another in another version, he said submit, submit to him.

You know, guys, submitter is a very very powerful word. You

know. It's not a form of weakness to submit. It's not a form

of weakness. When Jesus came down, his whole life was an example.

Jesus lived a life of submission. You know, he didn't say, hey,

I'm here for a holiday, I will do whatever I want to do.

No, he didn't. He was submitted to the Father every moment of

every day. He submitted until the point of death. You know, he

had to say, God, you know, I want to do this so

much. But you know, if it's possible, if there was another way,

let this cup pass. But no, God still went through everything for

you and I, so we can have salvation today. So remember, submission

is not a form of weakness. God resist the proud, but gives grace

to the humble. Therefore, and for that reason. Therefore, for that

reason, submit to God. Resist the devil. When you submit to God,

you're able to resist the devil. Remember, the devil had a he

did whatever he wanted to do, and he got kicked out of heaven.

So let's not follow his example. Let's submit. Why are we afraid to

submit to God first and then to the people who He has appointed and called.

You know, we have leaders. Sometimes our leaders are young. When

my husband and I first came to at church, we were already in our

almost late fifties, maybe already fifty. You know, when we came and

we were already leaders for many years in our church. But when we came,

we served God wherever God called us to serve. He was a host

in Basement three, I was in the rebel store. I was selling books,

helping people with you know, all the merchandise there. And it wasn't

I wasn't shy to submit to young leaders. And our leaders were all why

wis campus students, So God right, there were a lot of why was

young people, you know, and they were very afraid of when they saw

us. They were like, oh, we went to our young homes and

they were not very comfortable, but we made them comfortable. We say,

no, we're learning from you. We encourage them, so don't be afraid

to submit. And then what does God do when you submit to the Lord.

It attracts And God suddenly promoted us. We didn't ask for it,

you know, we still tell told God. I mean, we told Pastor

we can do whatever, Pastor. We don't need a title. We don't

need a name. We don't to serve God, you don't need a special

title given to you. You can serve God wherever you are. What you

know, you can come to the Lord, you can come to church and

you can do anything. You see somebody. You're serving God. You're encouraging

a brother, You're encouraging us. Sister, what are you doing? You're

serving God. So don't be afraid to submit, just not to God,

but to the people. The young people here, the many young people being

raised here. You know, don't say that they are too young. I

only will listen to the fallor if it's a big age. You know,

got gray hair a bit older, he knows more. No, the Lord

ministers to the young and to the old. He doesn't just minister to one

age group. So don't be afraid to submit to your leaders. You know,

Selena may be very young to say, are you I want the old

lady down here? Older maybe like me gray hair? Really no, don't.

God speaks to our young people, so submit to them. It's good.

It attracts God. God watches these things are. Why is in your

own eyes? I want to quickly go because I want to get to a

part that I really love? Why is in your own eyes? Which is

therefore summit to go? O? Resist there the next one, lise the

next verse? What is the next verse? Eight? Or you don't have

eight? Eight is my favorite? Eight? Nine? I think it's all

there right, No, be you did it excellently. Come on, guys,

we can do that. Come on. This is the same thing I

gave you. Okay, wise in your own eyes, self reliant? What

is wise? Now? I don't be wise in your own eyes. The

Bible says wise. Being wise in our own eyes is self reliant. It's

self okay, self sufficient a sign of pride. Again, and what does

the Bible say about pride goes before destruction? Wow? So never never be

wise in your own eyes. Okay, Okay. I want to go to

the last part of the worst, which is fear the Lord. Fear the

Lord. Fear the Lord. Yeah. Can you read it for me?

Yeah, fear the Lord. Okay, I read the complete seventh verse from

Proverbs Free. You just mentioned it. Do not be wise in your own

eyes, Fear the Lord and depart from evil man. Amen, Fear the

Lord. I accepted the Lord when I was about maybe twenty. I remember

celebrating my twenty first birthday as a child of God, and I had on

my twenty first birthday, thank you Jesus for my twenty first birthday. I

put that on the cake. And I've been a Christian for a long time.

But I've always lived on grace and God's love and God's mercy. Don't

we like that? We like to live in God's love and mercy. We

don't like all this fear fear, this tough part, or we don't want

to read. But yet the Lord says, fear the Lord, Fear the

Lord. What does it mean? In the last five years. I think

it was on our thirtieth anniversary, we were away and God came to me.

He put the fear of God in me. I used to live,

okayla, I I can you know there's always grace. I can always say

sorry God, he will forgive me. It won't be so bad. But

in the on my thirtieth anniversary, our wedding anniversity, God actually put the

fear of God in me, and from then on my life has been totally

changed. Living in the fear of God is beautiful, guys. Living in

the fear of God is having Jesus by your side. Twenty four to seven.

There is no break. There is no break. Even when I let

go guests, I say, I'm excuse me, Lord, because I know

He's beside me. Yes, to that extent, I changed to that extent

where I am aware of him twenty four to seven. My actions, my

thoughts, what I'm thinking of somebody, what I'm doing, how I carry

myself, everything that I do, I know Jesus standing beside me. God

is saying, I'm not so interested with a cloud of witnesses shearing me.

All that I the one secondary, but the Lord watching me. Twenty four

seven. When I'm sleeping, how I dress, how I carry myself,

when I'm cleaning or in my house, I'm clean. Heaven is not thirty.

You know where you throw your clothes here, you throw your clothes there.

No, it's God actually tells me be clean. When I do my

cakes, there's integrity. How you're washing your hands, when you're doing something.

All that God is watching you. So don't ever think God takes his

eyes off you. When you have the fear of God in you, it's

when you take note of these things you are more careful. You're careful in

how you think, how quickly you forgive, how you don't take offense,

you quickly want to when God says something, you do it. I am

a person very hard to forgive, very hard, because when I trust in

you, I love you, I know I really love you, and if

you let me down, it takes me a long time to forgive you,

you know, And God just tells me, maybe forgive. And I learned

that. I learned that in a hard ways to go to God and cry

before the Lord Lord, I want to forgive. I'm finding it so hard

to forgive. I want, I want, but I can't. And I

used to go to the Lord and cry before the Lord Lord. I want

to do. I want to obey, but I can't. And that's when

God does something you know today that is something not a part of me anymore.

I can forgive so quickly. You know, we went through something really

painful, and I'm thinking to myself, maybe get angry, maybe get angry.

I'm like, no, I'm not. I mean, they don't know

they did it. It's okay. Let's just move on. Forgive and let

them live and let God take care of them. So when the fear of

God comes into your life, something happens. You all have to live in

the fear of God. Don't live just on grace and mercy. God will

forgive me that I can do this, do whatever God will forgive me.

God is watching you, guys, twenty four seven is not taking his eyes

off you. So live in the reverence of God. Fear is reverence of

God. No fear is respect for God. You know when we walk into

church, yeah this is a hotel. Yeah we have cleanness, but this

is where the Holy Spirit, the presence of God is so our eyes.

You know, we come here, we always see pictures. Is everything in

order? Even though this is not my church plan. Mine is ten thirty.

But when I walk into the church plan, I'm looking. Is there

rubbish on the floor? Is the chair's need? I'm not why? This

is all respect for God. This is God's house. This is not just

what is this place called Gee Tower? This is not Gee Tower. This

is the present. This is the house of God. Yes, we are

all temples, we are the temple of God. Yes, but this is

where we worship God. So make sure when you walk in you're always putting

the chairs straight. This all this are God is watching you. You know

you don't have to be an asher to make the chest straight. You don't

have to be a host to pick up a rubbish from the floor and say

this is church. I must, you know, give my best. The

church must be clean. But actually I must say that the couppet is very

clean. Today I cannot find anything on the carpet, so it's very very

clean. So praise the Lord for that. Fear is being okay. I'm

accountable for my motives, my thoughts, my words, my actions. Fearing

the Lord will keep me from sin, very very important. It will keep

you from sin. And we what do we do? We always sort of

like put. We look at sin and say, okay, this is you

know, it says shun evil. He says shun evil. Everything that is

opposed to God is evil. You know. We can say, oh,

this is a small lie, so God is okay with it. It's just

a small lie. I have to tell this because I have to save something.

It's a small lie. But to God's eyes, it's evil. So

don't don't let this this this sin. Don't put don't put? Uh?

How you how you what you say? How do you make small? You

you make something small something big? You put a sin into a place that

the sun can the sun cannot know. In God's eyes, sin is sin.

Sin is evil, So don't sin. So fearing the Lord keeps you

from sin. I think I've lived. I I won't say my My work

is filthy rags. But still I I try myself not to sin before the

Lord. Small sin, big sin. I try. And sometimes you know,

cassis give you money. You know, sometimes the restaurants are so expensive,

right when they give you extra and say I should take this money because

that food is not worth it. It wasn't nice, so I should keep

the money. But really, the Lord is watching you. So when something

like this happens, it's the honorable thing because it brings honor to the Lord.

You go and return the money and say, hey, you gave me

more. You know, in these things, these are the small things.

They go watches you. I am telling you about the small things. You

know. We have elder Terans and all these Bible scholars that will really give

you the word of God and teach you the teaching. But I will give

you the simple things. Do not sin, Do not put the word is

not coming, but it's just don't put something where sin is sin. Treat

it as sin, treat it as evil. But when you start to compromise,

when you start to say this is small, this is big, DECI

I can do this. No, in God's eyes, sin sin, and

it is evil in his God's eyes, So don't sin. Okay, okay,

let me see where am I today? Where my God? Okay?

Do we just I and measure evil? Okay, I've covered that health.

You know, we all are we we want to take care of our health,

especially when we're getting older. You know, we want to make sure

that we're doing right. What does the Bible say about health? What brings

health to our bodies and nourishment to our our bones? The Bible says,

fear the Lord and depart from evil. This will bring your health. This

will what will bring your health. Not your vitamins, not your supplements.

But fear the Lord and depart from evil, every evil, every sin.

This will bring you health. Take note of what the Bible says and listen

to it and obeyed with all your heart, your soul, your mind.

Listen to it and obeyed, And when you obey it, it will bring

you health. James four eight says, draw near to me, and I

will draw near to you. When God draws near to you, he comes

in all his glory. We war leave the same way we came into his

presence. We pray and be seeing more of you Lord. Do we understand

what we are saying, is God keeping himself away from us? God watches

over his word to perform it. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
