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

  2. We hope this message will light up your day.

  3. It's going to be okay. Hey, guys, you and I

  4. both know this life is quite a difficult one to

  5. live and things. Jesus is coming again and is coming

  6. again real soon. And you will always hear me say

  7. that because it's true. And if you look at what's

  8. happening in the world today, you know, you know that

  9. Scripture is proving to be more and more fulfilled as

  10. time goes on. The Scripture says that the Lord's return

  11. is also at a time when they're crying peace, peace, peace,

  12. And do you know that there's peace coming to the

  13. Middle East, something that is not happening two to three

  14. thousand years. So I want you to know we've got

  15. to be ready, we've got to be watching. But there's

  16. also encouragement. And the encouragement is it's going to be okay.

  17. I'm taking my reading today from Philippians four. Okay, Philippians

  18. four six to seven, and it says, here, be anxious

  19. for nothing, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by

  20. prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made

  21. known to God. It's a little bit of a hum

  22. here and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding.

  23. Will God your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. I

  24. want you to know that God knows our hearts, and

  25. he has said in scripture, don't worry. Do you know

  26. that worries not from God? You know that worry is

  27. actually God frowns upon worry. He frowns that you worry,

  28. because when you and I worry, it's like we're saying, hey, God,

  29. you can't do it. You know. So God knows us

  30. and he knows despite the fact that he says, don't

  31. do something, we would probably do it right now. Isn't

  32. that true? He says, don't worry? What do we do?

  33. We worry? Everyone who has a gray hair on the

  34. head knows what I'm talking about. And I have a lot,

  35. though I don't have much hair left, but it's okay.

  36. The scripture says, be anxious. Do you know that this

  37. is a very strange way of putting it. Be anxious.

  38. God knows you are going to spend energy. So if

  39. you're going to spend energy, if you're going to be anxious,

  40. if you're gonna be concerned about something. He's saying, be

  41. anxious about nothing. If you have to be anxious, be

  42. anxious about nothing. You get it. God is very wise.

  43. He knows that you're going to spend energy. So spend

  44. energy or not worrying, because there's nothing to worry about,

  45. you get it, be anxious about nothing. Let me just

  46. open up that scripture because I need to refer to

  47. it even as we we go Philippians for Okay, there

  48. we are. He says, here, be anxious for nothing. So

  49. you're gonna spend energy, span energy or not worrying. Isn't

  50. that wonderful? You know? You just got to love the Lord.

  51. He has an answer for everything. If you really have

  52. to spend energy, do it or not worrying. But it

  53. says here, but in everything okay, But it says here okay,

  54. but in everything, in everything, So don't spend your energy worrying,

  55. but spend your energy not worrying about anything. You know

  56. what this word anything means. This word anything means any man.

  57. It means a man, you know, any man or anything.

  58. So in other words, the Lord is tell telling you

  59. there is no one you need to be afraid of.

  60. And how many of you got monsters? For bosses. Do

  61. not put up your hands. You know how many have

  62. you got monsters for bosses? How many have you got

  63. that kind of of of issue somebody that there's all

  64. the time on your case? You know all it's strange.

  65. I tell Elder Abel, I always whisper to her. I say,

  66. nobody loves us. Say if I look at the both

  67. of us, I say, nobody loves us. Yeah, you must

  68. understand my context. Okay, My context is somehow, if there's

  69. somebody who's going to give trouble, that they will give

  70. trouble to us. They will not give trouble to anybody else,

  71. but they will give trouble to us because the Lord

  72. knows we can take it. The Lord knows we are

  73. able to handle it. But the Bible says that we

  74. aren't supposed to worry about these people. We are not

  75. supposed to worry about where is our next paycheck coming?

  76. That's toff right. We're not supposed to be worried about

  77. whether we're going to have enough of money to make

  78. that bill, because, let me tell you, you spend time worrying

  79. about it. Does the money drop from heaven? Does the money?

  80. Just as I spend time worrying. I got this bill

  81. to I spend time worrying about it. Does the bill

  82. go away? No? So why spend energy and something you

  83. cannot change yourself. But if you have to and you're

  84. concentrating on someone who can help you, things can change.

  85. I have a testimony of a family member who recently said,

  86. I owe so much of tex I owed some money

  87. for tax, but I decided to to to to dedicate

  88. myself to the Lord. And then when I went to

  89. check my company decided to just go and pay my

  90. tax for me. How cool is that? And she didn't

  91. even know. You see, God is able to do extraordinary things.

  92. If you I was just telling someone a few moments ago.

  93. Then when I went to a really really tough, tough,

  94. tough situation and six months I was without a job.

  95. And you got two children defeat One is three years

  96. one is four years old, one is two years old.

  97. You know you still got pills to pay your electricity,

  98. You got a car, you got this, you got all

  99. kinds of things. Six months without a job. What do

  100. you think like that? That is for a guy. It's difficult.

  101. And when I came to the edge of my rope,

  102. what did I do, Lord, what do I do? And

  103. he just told me something very simple. He said, worship me,

  104. that's all. Yes, worship me. So every morning at five o'clock,

  105. I get up, I go to the room. I just

  106. worship the Lord. Lord, you are so so good. There

  107. is just none like There's songs like that, worshiping the Lord, singing,

  108. praying in tongues, worshiping the Lord. Dancing in the spirit.

  109. You mean to say, I dance in the spirit. Yes,

  110. you will not see it, because it's only a dance

  111. before the Lord. I do, get on my knees, fall

  112. flat on my face in worship unto the Lord. I

  113. did this for five days. For five days, I did this,

  114. and then somebody gave me a telephone call and offered

  115. me a job as a general manager company I never

  116. even applied for. Took me from here to there in

  117. less than five days of worshiping the Lord. The job

  118. came with all the perks, came with a car, came

  119. with everything. It was extraordinary. You know what kind of Carvolvo? Guys.

  120. You mean to say God cannot do it? He can.

  121. What did it take for me worship? You know? I'm

  122. telling this testimony after thirty years. Okay, I'm giving this

  123. testimony after thirty years. But you know, because of what

  124. happened thirty years ago, I'm still with the Lord today.

  125. So when I face a difficult situation like that, I

  126. know what to do. Go to the Lord and worship.

  127. So why don't we worship the Lord every day? That's

  128. a very very good question. You have to worship the

  129. Lord every day. Why don't I worship the Lord like

  130. that every day? That's another good question. I have no answer,

  131. but I do know this God will respond to that.

  132. So he says, be anxious about nothing. Okay, let's move on.

  133. Okay now, but it says here in everything. You know

  134. what this word everything means. Guys, you and I got

  135. to get to understand the language of scripture. Everything means this, sir.

  136. It means all. That's simple enough, right, Everything means all right?

  137. Did you know that it also means all means not

  138. some of the time, but all of the time. Everything

  139. means all of the time. It also means thoroughly. Hey,

  140. you cannot give the Lord one part and reserve one

  141. part to yourself. You're going to give him everything. You

  142. give him everything. Wow, that means I give him all

  143. my trouble. When I walk out of the door, it's

  144. like I have got not a trouble in the world.

  145. Am I lying? No? Because who did I give it to? See?

  146. You?

  147. And I get tricked by the enemy? You see, because

  148. when you walk out of the door and you say

  149. we don't have a trouble in the world, the voice

  150. in your eyes is, hey, why are you lying? You

  151. still got this bilt to pay? You know, am I

  152. is this right? Do you feel that? Do you know that?

  153. Let's the voice of the enemy. Because when you're giving

  154. it to the Lord, what is its okay? Thoroughly in everything,

  155. you thoroughly give it to the Lord. It also it

  156. also means whatsoever, So there is no limitation. I got

  157. to tell you this, There is no limitation what you

  158. can hand over to the Lord your thoughts, your heart,

  159. your partner, your Why I say partner is because maybe

  160. you're not married yet, maybe you're just about to get

  161. into a relationship, or you want to get into a relationship,

  162. your finance, your business, whatsoever. And it also means that whosoever,

  163. so the guy that's giving you trouble, Lord, I give

  164. him over to you. There was one guy who came

  165. and He told me this. He said, when I call you,

  166. you come, who is bigger? Am I bigger? Or your

  167. God is bigger? We'll see. I was very upset, so

  168. I said, Lord, show him who is bigger. Needless to say,

  169. I'm standing, he is not. You see, don't ever come

  170. again anyone sets himself before your Lord and master, even

  171. concerning you. That person is not fighting you. You know

  172. who is that person fighting? Mean to say, I've said

  173. this before, Henry, If I going to attack your son,

  174. are you're going to sit there and say go ahead? Two?

  175. The mother said no. If I were to make a

  176. threatening move towards there, I can tell you before I

  177. even reached the son, they would take me out. You see,

  178. You and I got to understand we belong to God,

  179. who is our father. If somebody comes against you, who

  180. are they coming against? See? When we can see that,

  181. then it becomes easy, all right, it becomes easy. But

  182. in everything, but in everything, all always thoroughly, whatsoever whosoever

  183. it says here in prayer, no prayer. You gotta understand

  184. that prayer is just not you know, Father, bless me

  185. and my wife, my two sons as four and no more. No,

  186. it's not dead. That's not prayer. I tell you what

  187. prayer is. Prayer is something that is an earnest discussion.

  188. You know, you know a good example of prayer, of course,

  189. the best example was when Jesus taught us how to

  190. pray the Lord's pray. But an example of what prayer

  191. is is the communication between Abraham and God concerning Lord

  192. in Sdom and Gomorrah. Lord, if there's fifty people, will

  193. you destroy Lord? If there's forty people? There was this

  194. back and forth? Why it was earnest earnest discussion? Hey,

  195. how many of us earnestly discussed with the Lord what's

  196. going on in our lives? The one person you can

  197. never hide from is God. Okay, so if you are

  198. a rogue, tell God your robe? Why you want to

  199. hide yourself? You mean you say God, can I see Lord?

  200. And you are shot? So you don't tell God you're shot? Lord,

  201. I'm vertically challenged. Hey, God, can I see your short?

  202. He can see you shot. Don't need to hide that

  203. from him. Lord. I'm a short person. Find me a

  204. short girl friend. Hey, guys, you're gonna understand what I'm

  205. trying to tell you. You see when you when when you

  206. come to God. The one person you can afford to

  207. be absolutely honest with her is the Lord. You don't

  208. have to hide yourself from him. So you're not a

  209. good person. Lord, I'm not a good person. I don't

  210. know why I am like that. Lord. You know, I

  211. know how much you love me. I know, and I

  212. learn all these things and wonderful things in scripture. I

  213. do sometimes and then sometimes I don't do. I must

  214. be crazy, Lord, And then the Lord can s, yeah,

  215. you are. I mean conversation earnest. It's also means a supplication.

  216. Supplication is you you? When you make supplication, you are

  217. making a request unto the Lord. See, many of us

  218. we talk about our situation, but we don't end it

  219. with a clear request from the Lord. You know that

  220. if we don't make it with a clear request from

  221. the Lord, you haven't ready prayed. You just told God

  222. about the situation. LORDA you know, I'm in my running clothes,

  223. running shoes. I want to go and exercise in the morning. Lord,

  224. And the weather looks bad, looks like it's going to rain. Lord.

  225. You know, I was planning to go running, but I'm

  226. beginning to see the rains start. And then after you

  227. walk away and it starts to rain. Or the Lord

  228. never answered my prayer? What did you pray? You just

  229. told the Lord what the weather was like. This is

  230. how you pray. Lord. Can you see I'm ready to run.

  231. I want to go running because I want to exercise.

  232. I want to get fit. But the weather looks like

  233. it's going to rain. So I ask you, Lord in

  234. the name of Jesus, to hold the rain back. And Lord,

  235. if you have to water everything, because the plants do

  236. need water, let it rain around me wherever I go.

  237. Let it not rain. If you are willing to trust

  238. the Lord with that type of prayer, he is willing

  239. to answer you. Do you know that I had two

  240. people come to the Lord because of this testimony of weather.

  241. It would be raining, heavily rainy season when I go

  242. for the audit. When I come, I'm completely dry. So

  243. the accounts clock asked me, Hey, how come you're drier?

  244. I say, because I believe in Jesus and I pray

  245. for the rain to stop, and it stops every time. No,

  246. I don't believe you, I say, you wait and see.

  247. I will show you it's raining the whole day, rainy season. Right,

  248. So I'm about to leave five o'clock. I command you,

  249. in the name of Jesus, stop one two minutes the

  250. rain stops. I get it on my bike and I

  251. go off. She sees me do this for days. Then

  252. she comes and tell me it's true. I said, that's

  253. because Jesus is true. Would you want to accept him

  254. as Lord and Savior? Yes, I receive him. My very

  255. first time I prayed for the rain to stop was

  256. about a week after I became a Christian, and I

  257. learned that in the name of Jesus you can ask

  258. and see things happen. The weather was really really bad

  259. and dark, and it's going to storm, and I was

  260. going for a party with some friends, so I told

  261. him it's okay. I believe in Jesus. I've prayed and

  262. it will not rain. I've prayed, and I've asked the

  263. Lord that all of you were with me will reach

  264. our destination dry. But everyone who comes immediately after the

  265. last person this party steps into the house will be

  266. soaking wet. Now, why wasn't I kind to pray for

  267. everyone to get that dry? I don't know, but I

  268. do know. This was my prayer. And you know, we

  269. went for that party, and the moment the last person

  270. with my group stepped in, it poured like as if

  271. there was no rain, and it looked like I say,

  272. somebody is pouring water, and everybody who came after me

  273. drenched completely. Then the person looks at me, Hey, it's true.

  274. I say, yes, it is. Why didn't you follow me

  275. the church and find out more about Jesus? They came

  276. to church and they received the Lord their pastors today.

  277. Then petition. You know what is petition? Petition is you

  278. don't stop believing. And it doesn't mean you pray the

  279. same prayer again. It means this Lord, I have prayed

  280. to you, I have laid my prayer before you. You

  281. know what, I believe it even though I don't see it,

  282. because you said it as a song. Jesus said it.

  283. I believe it. I believe it because he said it. Yes, no, yes,

  284. and no. The Lord's going to see me through. It's

  285. a song long time ago, guys. So that prayer becomes exciting,

  286. doesn't become a figment of anybody's imagination. And it says

  287. here in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, do you know

  288. why you give thanks when you pray? Because the Bible said,

  289. that's a good answer. The Bible said, give thanks when

  290. you pray. That's good enough. But you must understand what's

  291. behind it, because the giving of thanks is something that

  292. pleases the Lord. It is gratitude. Do you know that

  293. one of them? I'm sorry to say, okay, jen beta

  294. alpha whatever. It is. One of the one of the

  295. problems of the world this today is there's a lack

  296. of gratitude. People feel entitled. So when people feel entitled,

  297. they don't say thank you. What that waited that comes

  298. and gives you the food? You just look and that's it. No,

  299. just because they are serving you doesn't mean they are

  300. your servants. It means they're doing a job. You know,

  301. Elder Mabele, every time she goes to a restaurant and eat,

  302. you know, when she finishes eating, she clears the whole

  303. table with her tissue. She wipes everything, puts everything I asked.

  304. You want me to ask them for the bloomer. I

  305. joke with her. But you know what she is doing.

  306. She is giving honor to the person who serves us.

  307. She's not taking them for granted. What is she doing.

  308. She is showing them gratitude. It doesn't matter whether somebody

  309. thanks you. But if you have a heart of gratitude,

  310. God knows how to reward that because God loves it

  311. when we show him gratitude. I think there's a song

  312. right gratitude. Did you know that it's also an act

  313. of worship. Hey, you don't always have to get down

  314. on your niece to worship the Lord. You know. You

  315. know that every time you pray and you are thanking

  316. the Lord for what is done for you, you are

  317. worshiping him. You know, when I wake up in the

  318. morning and I pray for the message that I'm to

  319. deliver to you, you know what I'm doing. I'm worshiping

  320. the Lord. When I get up, I give him at

  321. least three rounds of worship. When I say three rounds,

  322. one round it's one kilometer, So three kilometers of worship

  323. two minutes of prayer for you, so you are worth

  324. two kilometers worship is worth three. That's how it works

  325. for me. But actually you've got to times it by

  326. two because I do ten. This is how because I

  327. need God to help me. You see, you haven't come

  328. here to just listen to somebody. If you go back

  329. and you haven't learned anything, I've wasted your time because

  330. you come here to receive from the Lord. What is

  331. the Lord speaking to you this morning? He is telling

  332. you it's going to be okay, an act of worship.

  333. And then it says, here, let your requests. Remember what

  334. I said. A lot of people talk about, Hey, the

  335. weather's like this young okay. Yeah, lots of people here

  336. and they don't make the requests. And I wonder why

  337. nothing happens. Hey, don't assume that God assumes on your

  338. behalf and all. God knows everything you need, but he

  339. will not act until you ask. You know why he

  340. respects you. God respects me. Yes, he respects you enough

  341. to wait for you to ask him. Ah. We can

  342. learn a lot of things from God. And while he

  343. knows everything, he doesn't assume you want him to act

  344. until you open your mound and say, please act on

  345. my behalf. Let your request, you know, as your request,

  346. let your requests. Request isn't ask. It is also a requirement. Hey,

  347. be specific. That's what it means. That word actually means requirement.

  348. Let your requirements be Oh, Lord, it's the whethers I said, Lord,

  349. if the grass needs to get watered, let it get water.

  350. But as wherever I am running, let it be dry.

  351. You believe God can do that? You know how many

  352. times I have been actually on my morning walks and

  353. it is rain, and I looked at the sky and

  354. say in Jesus name, stop and it stops. Am I

  355. somebody great? No, I'm being specific. I'm actually letting. I'm

  356. exercising the authority that the Lord has given me. I'm

  357. being specific. I'm letting my requirements be made. Not Hey,

  358. you go in you want to build a cupboard in

  359. your houser. You just take the wood and go and

  360. bash it anywhere and it comes out of cupboard. No,

  361. what are the requirements? Five feet here, six feet there,

  362. six feet long tall, white cupboard door. The door must

  363. be opening inside. But you got requirements? Why do you

  364. need requirements? You want a good finished for duct. If

  365. you don't let your requires, me know, the guy can

  366. build your cabinet. I'd read to think what will come?

  367. And it's also do you know it's a demand? Can

  368. you make demands of the Lord? But that's what scripture says.

  369. Scripture says you can demand from the Lord God. I

  370. know that I've been healed, and I know according to

  371. your word You've healed me. So I stand on this

  372. in Jesus' name. Wow, pride becomes exciting, you know, because

  373. now you know the many facets to it, the many

  374. dimensions to it. It says, be made known to God.

  375. Do you know that this word be made known to

  376. is a certification of who God is? It is a

  377. declaration of who God. Now, when you're say in Jesus name,

  378. it's no longer just the end of a song. You know,

  379. it's not a full stop. You know, in Jesus name

  380. it's not a food stop. When I say, because in

  381. English or in any language, when you're you put a

  382. food stop. Jesus name is not to be used as

  383. a full stop, you know. Do you know what Jesus

  384. name is? To be used as certified, true copy, certified.

  385. It's that's what it means. It means certification, a declaration.

  386. What is a declaration? Declaration? Is I hereby declare that

  387. by water baptism, so and so is now named? What

  388. is that? It's a declaration for all two see that

  389. you have followed Jesus. Okay, now we get to the

  390. what is the result of all of this? Everything that

  391. I've said must come in form of a result must

  392. have a result, and it says and the peace of God,

  393. and the peace of God. You see in English, we

  394. only think that the word is peace, quiet, peace and quiet.

  395. So the peace of God is yeah, yah yah. All

  396. the problems are happening in just no more noise, and

  397. we think that's it. If you think that's it, that's

  398. all you'll get. If all you want from your trouble

  399. is for the noise to be quiet, that's all you

  400. will get. But Scripture is telling you that the peace

  401. of God means much more than that. This is what

  402. the peace of God means from that word piece. It

  403. means exemption from the rage of havoc of war. You

  404. and I we have not experienced war. Those of us

  405. who are in our sixties. We have a semblance of

  406. knowledge what happened in the late sixties, but we are

  407. not like Gaza, or we are not like Ukraine, so

  408. we don't understand really the ravage, the rage, the fear

  409. of war. My mother will tell you that at the

  410. age of four, the sirens would ring and she and

  411. the family would have to run into the jungle. This

  412. was Hicks Hicks Road is Jannan Raja Chulans in front

  413. of that was all jungle. They have to run into

  414. the jungle because the bombing was going to take place.

  415. I mean, four years old. You know what that siren means.

  416. It's how can you handle it? It's frightening. When that

  417. fire happened in Putra Hides. You know how loud the

  418. sound was. My brother in law from his in Acts

  419. ten thirty service is about three hundred meters away from

  420. the fire. From his room, he said it sounded like

  421. a jet engine just by his bed. That was a sound.

  422. It caused fear and panic. The moment they came out

  423. of the house, their skin was starting to burn. They

  424. had to run run away, leave everything behind. God gave

  425. him a great testimony. Nothing in his house was damaged.

  426. He had a parrot right. They were not allowed to

  427. bring the parent parros outside the house for three days,

  428. no food, no water in that heat, in that whatever.

  429. You know, the parrot's a life. And now can say

  430. praise the Lord guys, exemption from the rage and havoc

  431. of war. It means that that that rage that goes on,

  432. that that the anger that people show you, that havoc

  433. that's playing in your mind. You can have freedom from it. Exemption.

  434. Exemption from it means it doesn't need to touch you.

  435. Let it touch somebody else, but you it will not touch.

  436. Do you know that this word peace also means this

  437. peace between individuals, harmony, accord, harmony between people. Isn't so

  438. nice to be friendly with each other? Not sit down

  439. next to each other? I don't like your facer. Can

  440. you get up and go and sit somewhere else? No?

  441. Why is it? All of you can come and sit

  442. down and sit peacefully with each other because of this?

  443. It's the peace of God. There was a song I'd

  444. like to teach the world to sing perfect? How many?

  445. I'd like to hold it in my arms and teach it.

  446. Come have a company? That song was actually a Coca

  447. Cola head Do you know? It was the ad first,

  448. and then after that the New Seekers media the number

  449. one hit in the world. Wasn't the other way around?

  450. I always talk to the other way around? No, no, no, no.

  451. Peace means that how many? This is so nice we're singing?

  452. How many? It means this, sirh, and this one we

  453. will love, especially those of us who've got children. It

  454. means this. It means security. It means safety, do you

  455. know that it also means prosperity? So how many of

  456. us are lacking you? How many of you us here

  457. got financial issues? Do you know that the scripture says

  458. that this piece of prosperity, how many to make things

  459. safe and prosperous? This is yours? I love this. So

  460. we just thought piece was huh quiet No. And it

  461. also means this of the messiahs peace. This is the

  462. way that leads to salvation, peace of God. When we

  463. come before the Lord, Lord, come into my heart and

  464. be my Lord and savior. This is the peace that

  465. comes into your heart can lead to salvation. Sometimes people

  466. are having a lot of trouble, a lot of issues.

  467. So that's why when they come to church, in that worship,

  468. in that praise, in that surrounding of the presence of

  469. the Lord coming down with the peace of God that

  470. passes all understanding, the peace that leads to salvation rests

  471. upon their soul. It also means of Christianity, all right.

  472. Tranquil state of a soul is a tranquil state of

  473. a soul assured of its salvation through Christ. Now this

  474. is after you become a Christian. Nothing moves you to fear.

  475. It's only one you fear. You fear God. You don't

  476. fear anything else because you're sured of your salvation through Christ.

  477. It's been forty seventy nine, seventy nine, fifty years, fifty years, No, No,

  478. seventy nine, forty five years, forty five, forty six, forty

  479. six years. I've known the Lord for forty six years.

  480. Praise the Lord, and so fearing nothing from God and

  481. content with its early Lord or whatever sort that is.

  482. It means I'm not going to be bothered with the

  483. issue of what troubles. And let me tell you, in

  484. forty five years, I have seen so many things happen

  485. in my life, so many bad things turned around, so

  486. many bad things become good because God was able to

  487. do it. And then I look back and I say,

  488. why did I ever fear? The Lord was with me

  489. and he helped me. And I look at myself and

  490. I'm in my sixties, and I say, God, all these

  491. years you've been with me. It's amazing. I look at

  492. my life. How did I get here? It's you, It's

  493. you and only you. It is also this is the

  494. state we all want it to be, the blessed state

  495. of devout men and women after death. Hey, guys, at

  496. the end of the day, when I go, that's where

  497. I want to go. That's where I want to leave.

  498. That's where I want to be. I've told elder maybe

  499. when I go, please know said songs, No slow songs.

  500. The kind of songs I want are the kind that

  501. will wake up the day, because yes, because you know

  502. why I'm saved. What is there to be afraid or

  503. what is there to be said? Hey, why you need

  504. to be said? You will see me sooner or litter,

  505. It's okay. So when you send me or send me

  506. off like it's a great party, celebration, I don't want

  507. any of that. All full band, that's what I want.

  508. Why if somebody says no respect, they got it wrong

  509. because rather than respect me, respect the one who saved

  510. my soul. That's more important. Guys. If we can, if

  511. we can start celebrating that way. A lot of people

  512. want to come to know the Lord. So the Bible

  513. says this peace will that will surpass. You know what

  514. it means. It means to hold oneself above. It's excellent,

  515. it's superior. None of us want anything that is less

  516. than the best. And this is what God gives us.

  517. God gives us all of what I told you to

  518. even better levels, the ultimate, the whole oneself above, to excel,

  519. superior that surpasses understanding. Guys, understanding here we all think

  520. the understanding is just one thing. Right. Understanding means are

  521. your mind and your intellect. Because your mind plays tricks

  522. with you. Your mind sees problems when there's none, because Jesus

  523. is with you. Your mind, your intellect. It means your thoughts.

  524. You know, intellect and thoughts are different. Intellect is the

  525. quality of your brain. Okay, and I know I am

  526. surrounded with really great quality here, a lot of intellect,

  527. but thoughts, you know. Let me explain it this way.

  528. Your mind can be a Mercedes Benz sports model, but

  529. if your thoughts drive it at two kilometers per hour

  530. of no use, you get it. There's a difference between intellect, thought,

  531. and then feelings nothing more than feelings. Feelings, So you

  532. know that your feelings have a part to play as well.

  533. God wants to help you with your feelings. Going back

  534. to the car analogy, you don't drive it. I feel

  535. like I want to drive at three hundred, but the

  536. car can only go two hundred and twenty. God has

  537. a way of bringing your feelings under subjection to his will,

  538. otherwise you will burn your car out wings and your will,

  539. you know what is your will? You really is the

  540. key to the car, because without the key, nothing happens.

  541. Your will, nothing happens unless it's your will is like

  542. your decision. So you got intellect, you got thoughts. See

  543. you've got you've got a capacity. Then you got the

  544. the way of thinking, you got the emotion behind it.

  545. But at the end of the day, it will all

  546. come in it into what your will. And you know

  547. what is your will. When you drive your Mercedes bends,

  548. you turn the car, start it on, press the accelerator,

  549. and drive at a normal speed. That is your will.

  550. If any of the other three three things you try,

  551. your car is going to get in trouble, or you

  552. will get into trouble with the law. God. Okay, will God, Will, God,

  553. I'm gonna I'm gonna rush your will. God, What is

  554. this to a watcher in advance? This God is somebody

  555. that watches out for you. So, in other words, this

  556. piece is going to be like a sentinel to you.

  557. You know what it's a central is a post of

  558. like a post like the gods at the gate, so

  559. prevent anybody from You know how many of us living

  560. in condos. The guard at the gate. No no, no, no,

  561. s cannot come in. Sorry. Huh yeah, so you're not Christian. Sorry,

  562. you don't make it to heaven downstairs. Oky, means that

  563. to heaven and protect like your protect your son. You

  564. will not allow me to go there and damage it.

  565. You will take me out. Hey. They're nice people, very quiet,

  566. smiling and all that. You just try and do anything

  567. to the sun, they will take you out. That's the

  568. way it is. God's like that. Don't try anything with this, children,

  569. because He's got gods around you. So this peace will God, you, God,

  570. your mind, God, your heart. You know what is your heart?

  571. Your heart is a heart. Okay, you live longer because

  572. no stress, you live longeray. Hat. Then it also means

  573. that your thoughts and feelings, your mind, so your mind, okay,

  574. how we just describe how that all works. And the middle,

  575. you know as the middle, the deepest most part of you,

  576. your spirit. Your spirit also needs to be protected by

  577. the Lord. Your mind, your perception, your purpose. Well, what's

  578. your purpose in life? What? How do you perceive life

  579. for yourself to be. It also means your intellect everything

  580. is controlled. So in Bible says, well, God, your hearts

  581. and minds through who through Christ Jesus. This literally means

  582. the anointed one. Christ means Jesus, the anointed one of God,

  583. the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It means by function,

  584. the Redeemer, he's your savior, by entity, by entities, Jesus. Okay,

  585. So there are five ways in which the Lord through

  586. Christ go to the next life. It literally means the Anointed.

  587. This is what it means through Christ. Through the Anointed

  588. transliterated it means Christ. That means it's much more than

  589. the Anointed. It's specifically talking to about Jesus and the

  590. properly properly means So, now what is this purpose? How

  591. does it relate to you? Well, the Messiah was the

  592. God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, so he's talking about

  593. his how Scripture has has revealed who he is? All right?

  594. And then by function, So what does Jesus do He

  595. redeems you. What does Jesus do he saves you? What

  596. does Jesus do here is your friend? Okay? And lastly,

  597. what it is identity you identify with Jesus as Lord,

  598. as Jesus is your lord and master. When you call

  599. yourself a Christian, it means Christ in me. Can you

  600. understand why it's going to be okay? Can you understand

  601. why your life is going to be all right? When

  602. you pray? Now you see it's much more. God has

  603. good purposes and intents for you, and you can believe

  604. it because He loves you, He saved you. He's there

  605. with you in every aspect of your life. So guys,

  606. if you you've forgotten everything that I've told you, just

  607. let it be known. Jesus has your best interest at heart,

  608. and it's going to be okay.
