Let's KPOP | Pr Sandra Chin

You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.

We hope this message will light up your teeth.

Okay, today I'm gonna invite you to keep up with me.

You think I can? Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, let's keepe up?

Man?

Oh man, you wish I can't?

No qualify away alright?

Don't have the small skin, a flawless skin, skinniest body ever,

like a piece of stick.

I don't have that, and not so young? Okay, all right,

but let's cape up guys. Okay. I hope you take

home a message today and you remember. So that's what

I do.

I try to help you remember the message by giving

you some funky name.

Did I do tofu with you? No? I didnt.

Melbourne got it? Okay, So I'm not touful with you. Okay,

but I'll cape up with you.

All right. You're wondering how this fus the hobbies? Really? Okay?

All right? Amen? So what is the cap pop? And

I'll bring us to So. Now I was just thinking

our walk in the lot, our journey.

It can be a long journey, depending how many years

you live, how many more years you journey. When you

came to know Jesus and you're growing your faith. And

you know, the whole time we come while we meet

like this week in week out, weekly we come to

do church together. You know, all of it is to

encourage the believers and to really Jesus, thank you Lord,

all right, to encourage the believers and to carry on

in this journey.

Amen, hallelujah.

And so I was just thinking, it's some of you

were just born again shortly. Others have been walking with

the Lot for many years, and uh, you know, and

the whole journey is to ask us, are we on track?

Are we still following the Lot despite the storms that

you're going through, despite many different challenges it comes, it goes,

Are we still keeping.

Focus on the Lot? And that's my heart.

I think you'll hear from my messages here and there

whenever it's about that.

It's reminding us to stay on track. But I have

to take you.

To the K pop, yeah, just to get you on

track to remind us.

Amen.

So just this past week I met an assistant Christ

someone who probably could be my mom's, could be a

mom of my mom's itch, maybe younger a little bit,

but I think she's in the seventies. And she saw

me I'm going to visit one of our partner's parent

who is not well.

And then this lady.

Came, she's in law, and she said, hey, I haven't

seen you for one hundred years.

She took one hundred years.

I say, well, if it's one hundred years, you surely

look the same seventy you know, she cycles seventies are

cycles still actively cycling?

She loves a cycling. She's gonna go to Taiwan.

She said, the cycle no reliably okay, but yeah, she's

just active, fairy active. And she was just saying to

me that she did in the seventies. I'm not never

for a long long time. And she said she had

a change. They have a change of pasta in the

church or passes that can be my son or maybe grandson.

Said, I don't know, like young pastor Yawa. It's all

uh I see in church. I don't know what else.

What new message can they shared with me?

Right, because we're like we think for something and then

I heard that message before.

All right, just hang on and hang on.

Of course they're there then now for founding Buster has

has gone on to do other stuff, so they only

see him once in a month or whatever. Less so

she said, you're with me our pastor by the New Pasta.

Then then I said, oh really, but good law, I said, no,

they're not. They're focusing on the young people. Then we

all let, I said, we all, let we all let.

I said, I'm gonna be sixty, okay, so.

We all let.

I say, well, our church, the church needs you because

the young people need to know what their future is

gonna look like if they can look like you at seventy.

Because she sure doesn't look like seventeen and cycling, you know,

up the hill, down the hill.

Right she's doing this. I say, we need examples like

you in the church. Don't run away. You say, maybe

I want to go to some small church somewhere because

they just I told She's like, I say.

No, your church needs you because you this is our future.

We want to know what it's like to keep following Christ,

even in that until the age. If you all disappear

and just leave the young people themselves, you never know

what happened. They'll destroy themselves.

The church is intergenerational, that's how God does, he says, families.

And I said, we need all. Don't feel like you

need to.

Yeah, I understand the step. But I have to feed myself,

like you said, we have to. I mean, you're old enough,

you're mature. How many years tenerady, you're mature. How much

baby food do you need? Wait enough for babyfood? You

cannot grow myselves babyfood you swallow all the time the day.

You know how they say children development. If they don't

start chewing, they won't know how to speak. They can't

do a lot of things. You know. They need to

have solid. You cannot give chok chop all the time.

They have to have some solid, all right. So she said, yeah,

I'll feed myself, but but I keep myself going because

I have a small group still.

And I saw I do Bible study.

I said, excellent, keep doing a small group, keep encouraging

the people, and that's how you're blessing your community, your church.

She said, okay, okay, because she said, but I feel

like we all at the back then, oh waiting.

You know past is you know, always.

Addressing the young families or the young people. But the

church must have young people. Moment you don't see teenagers

in your church or children, you're in trouble. We must

embrace children, We must embrace them. I know, they're very noisy,

but we must embrace them because they won't be noisy

for long just about six years, okay, and.

Then they'll grow up and then they won't and then

later you.

Regret got no noiser. But children now a blessing event.

So we need all age groups.

Yeah.

Extra started as a young people, very young church. And

people always say you're you ur you church? Well, have

you come to the water of life. You will be

young forever. So remember if you're an extra, your inheritance,

I give it to you youthful forever. Look at you, know, youthful,

same by day? She laughs, Same today, our lie son,

same today. Then now amen, eat a fool all right?

You know your inheritance in next church is I give

to you what I have.

What the Lord is that you look young like me?

You know how I'm going to be sixty right right,

so I know twenty five? The hell o white ready? Okay? Amen?

But God gives us everything, Amen. And we need each

other to cheer one another on, to look at our future.

And our future is eternity in the Lord.

Amen.

And so I have to keep up you today simply

because we need to. Number one is to know Christ

and keep knowing Christ. The key in my k pop

is to know Amen.

To know Christ.

The highest goal church a man, the ultimate goal is

to know is to know the Lord. Hey, it's not

just one day you accept the Christ and then you're happy,

But you continue to know husbands and.

Wives in the room. Where are you give me a wife?

All right? Hey, you know your wife?

Husband? Why if you know your husband? The word no

is an intimate.

No.

That is the word God uses to know him. It's intimate,

it's deep. It produces life. Amen, it brings life to

each other, not just having the children. Because in marriage,

even without the children, you are a family. You know

each other. This is the fellowship. This is the first

thing you know each other. That's a depth.

And God wants us to know him.

And we can't know him overnight because in any relationship

it takes time.

We take time in our friendship. Even in marriage.

It is not for the faint hatted, because if you

are faint hautted, you will give up very quickly in

the first year.

Why because this monster is not the one I dated.

He's trying his socks everywhere. Oh my goodness, he fats

in front of me. Oh no, she doesn't look like that.

Actually, we don't make us something else, all right, see

no makeup. See this is reality. That's what my husband

see every day. No change. Yeah, light that okay, wake

up light that live in the middle like that. So

you know he wasn't too surprised that the same face.

But some husband will take her already. I see eye dona,

so be happy without I see I all right, all right,

But so you you like, But you take time to

get to know your your spouse, and may we take

time to accept and embrace the difference. Same with us

knowing Christ, we grow in our faith to embrace all

that God has. I feel, even forty over years walking

with Christ, I'm like relearning everything again. I'm reading the

Book of Romans again, like I don't know how many times,

but it again reminds me.

Of the free gift of Jesus Christ.

It reminds me again that I don't live under the law.

There's nothing I can do to earn his love or

to be saved. But it's a free give Romans, Chapter one.

All the way, when you read through the Book of Romans,

it brings you back to the whole reason why I'm

following Christ. And why I can do nothing, but I

cannot do anything to gain him, but I can do

everything to please him.

Amen. So to know Christ, I.

Want us to the key in my pop all right.

The K my K pop is as in verse Philippians,

and the main reading is from Philippians, chapter three, and

taking the reading from verse ten all the way to

verse fifteen. So let me read this with you first,

and then we move on. Let's look at the scripture

that brings us through this. Taking Philippians chapter three and

verse ten.

You can flip to your Bibles.

It says here Philippians, chapter three and verse ten.

He says that that I'm somebody say it.

Louder, Amen, hear yourself say it, that I may and

the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his

sufferings being conformed.

To his death, if by any means I may attain

to the resurrection from the dead number verse twelve.

Now not that I have already attained, Hey, not that

I've already you know, I'm there. I'm there not yet,

or I'm already perfected. But I press on that I'm

a layhold on that for which Christ Jesus has also

laid whole Amen of me, He laid whole of me. Brethren,

I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one

thing I do, One thing I do, he says, what

forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to

those things which are ahead? Reaching forward, I press toward

the goal for the price of the upward call of

God in Christ Jesus. I press on towards the upward

call of Christ in Christ Jesus. Now, if you sit

here and think and say, like what my friends and

Deo says, I've heard this scripture before, nothing to learn.

You've already got nothing to learn.

But if you say to yourself, scripture is brand new

every day. It's a reminder. Amen, why we do quiet

time because it's a reminder. It's a building of our relationship.

So this relationship you are building is that you may

know Christ, Amen, a deep desire to pursue Christ, friends,

a deep desire to continue to grow our relationship, that

you come to a place with Christ. And I've spoken

here before about our relationship with Christ, is that it's

not like you waiting for someone to beat you on Ahila,

I see, I feel God's going to beat you. And

that's how we behave sometimes, but he's not like that.

He is longing for us to come near, to dwell

in him, to to hear his heart, to even be corrected.

God does correct us, He does discipline, but only so

that we can grow. Only we can recognize that God

is good, and he's good all the time.

Amen. So the word no, it's a very it's a

very deep word.

It's a powerful word in the in the Greek, so

that you hear it before in the Greek. I can't

even pronounce it. The pronunciation. The spelling is different. I

spelled it the way I want to pronounce it. I

have God knows go Okay, God knows God, and so

deep it's to know it is to have knowledge, but

beyond that is to heaven intimate intimate relationship as like

a husband and wife, to go so deep with Jesus. So, friends,

don't stop knowing Jesus. Amen, don't stop building your relationship

with Christ, because the knowing brings you to another level

of your faith.

I know God, I yes.

Followed him, but I'm again reminded that there's so much more.

I don't know so much my heaven experience. I want

to do what he's asking me to do, to lay

hands and pray for the sick, to see them here,

to speak into people's lives, to discern by the gifts

of the spirit, what's going on in the situation.

So much more. But I need to know him.

I must give my time to him, pursue him and

hunger for his presence, Amen, that we may know him.

So I encourage us to continue in your pursuit of

Christ because He pursued you. Amn, he pursued you, and

that you will.

Just experience God's amazing grace today. Amen.

And why do I say this to us, Because in

your journey there are going to me seasons when you

feel like.

Not doing anything for me? How come no prayer?

And so why that worst day you come back? Why

that wasn't taller than me like you? Didn't you so

taller than me.

Like you? How can I thought? You know, we all

want to grow all.

I want to be able to achieve this at this time,

in this stage of my life. Or my parents told me, hey,

you so you're so unkindly told me you know my

dad was alive right now you just passed on.

We ask you for grandchildren. You give us four leg good?

Yeah?

The dog. Now is my kid log. At least you

have a falling gat. I know I don't have a

two leg one.

But yeah too, Bed, there was a long time they

told me they gave up after day, you know, pursuing

the Lord and going through seasons where there might be

thinks you desire, thinks you're praying about things you're even

some of I know how how different breakthroughs we are

praying for.

Waited so long to see a.

Family gets say, to see people coming back to the Lord.

You know, it's a long journey. Something's happened overnight, something's

very quickly. Some things don't.

But does that mean you break up? No, we don't

break up. We keep.

By the grace of God, we don't break up. We

get to know God a little bit more. Trying to

understand how much she's wanting for us, Amen, and Paul says, yeah,

that I may know the power of His resurrection. We

all want the power of the resurrection, but we may

not always want the fellowship of the sufferings. The fellowship

although you and I may never need to go to

the cross, we know we will never need to go

to the cross to suffer, but to fellowship with Jesus sufferings.

Some people will be in fellowship of the suffering of

Christ for a long time. And when you ask them

why do you still follow Christ, they say, there's no

one else. There's no reason for me to leave him

because he is a faithful God. But to do on

earth the situations like that Earth is filled with sin.

God is not sin.

God wants the goodness, but his grace continues to help us.

You must thing wider when you're going through your tough times. Yeah,

because there are people who are going through hell.

You don't know that.

Countries that are persecuted, their lives are they're giving up

their lives for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Others are

going through war. It's never ending. In Ukraine, it's never ending,

years never ending there. You know wars and more stories

of wars.

But what do we do. I want to.

Encourage us church to know Christ, to go deeper with him,

to know how much He loves. Your death is the contentment.

It's not in how much you can get, but how

much God will give you. But as you live your

life in giving and believing, your contentment, your assurance, your

firm foundation is really in Jesus, Amen, so that you

will not be shaken.

Through the storms.

I also have to build this firm foundation continuously that

I might not be shaken. I have to ask myself,

what if someone asks me, do you believe in God?

Will I dare say yes and not just say God?

Do you believe in Jesus, the name that is hated?

Can I say yes? I am a follow of Jesus.

We must have that courage, Joe read that scripture. Be

bold enough, good courage.

Amen. We need courage more than boness. We need courage.

Then we can be bold. Amen.

So that's my key to know Christ, to go deeper,

to allow the Lord to to really pullow meate through

your whole heart, your whole mind, and not be shaken

even when things don't go your way. Your assurance is

that He's got you in his hands despite all circumstances.

But we also know that the Lord does open doors

for us, he does make a way for us us.

He does bring light at the.

End of the tunnel. Amen.

And he is also the Lord who is now giving

you the victories. He's also the Lord who's prospering the

work of your hands.

He's the Lord who has healed your bodies. Amen. Amen,

We walk in that knowing and this is our ultimate goal,

to know the lot. Amen. And then my pen my pop.

All right, it's the press on. Ah, So that texts

me to the press on. Press on. Okay. The Greek

word is the echo.

It means to pursue, Like, okay, how many have you

do marathons?

Yeah, some very famous people take marathons. How many of

you do marathons? Or in man.

Or oh maybe you're the you do spinning?

Okay, this plannd on spinners. You know the bicycle thingy uh.

Huh ah yeah, spinning, right, so you you can't stop.

You gotta keep going, and you yourself sayd no, I

gotta go, I go to go. When you do your marathon,

you don't run short spring gun. You you go the

long run. And so when you practice for your marathon,

you're up constantly training to do the long run. And

our faith is like that, we're not doing one hundred meters,

we're doing a marathon.

We have to press on.

Amen. So if you remember your marathons. I've never run

a marathon. I will probably never run a marathon.

I don't know.

Oh my men, Benducky book climb monkey. Don't think so

now my stage not interested. But anyway, I have other

bookkeets to you know, other mountains in my life. But

ain't no mountain high enough, women, Yeah, because God will

reach you. Ain't no mountain high, ain't no valley low. Yeah,

that God cannot reach you. But what we do is

we press on, We press on, is to keep focused

on the goal, which is the cross Jesus Christ. And

we move towards the goal that is Christ. Because he

says here mentioned two times in Philippians, and he says

here in verse twelve, not that I have already reach.

Or am perfected, but I press on.

So don't look for perfection, look for moving on, pressing

on to lay hold of that which Christ has laid

hold for you. That miss Jesus already laid hold for you.

So you press on because He's done it for you.

Press on. There are two times.

The next time he will mention again, press on, press on,

keep going. So the peed for me is so important,

is that we speed on earnestly.

Just keep speeding on you. I don't know how I think.

There's so many, so many examples you get think of

in your life right, especially marathons.

There are a lot of people in eggs who take part marathons.

So hey, but every marathon that there even fly to

Sydney or fly to be with a America. Where was

that Boston? The Boston Run? You know it takes pressing

on because you have.

To fly there.

You have to press on, right, and so people you

see in the natural, you can understand press on, come on.

People in the spiritual, it is parallel. Press on your work.

Some of you work like you have no other life

but your work.

Yeah, you just work because you this.

Is your bread and butter. You don't work, you don't

eat right, So you work and you press on.

You you hit, you hit a blockage. You still have

to find a way to solve the problem and then

open up a way and move on. How come in

the natural, you guys know how to press on.

Grow up.

People in the natural, you know how to press on.

You can take a marathon when you sick or so

you will get up and go to work. I know,

but come to just cannot seek today, But I still

say press on, press on, yeah, press on.

See we we understand the natural. Things.

Your house renovations, people doing renovation renovation months.

The contractor would tell you, yeah, some ten days, ten days.

Not true, it never never fulfield one, I come there

ten days really, why you're out already? You know?

Another ten days.

Like five minutes, five minutes you're coming, No, five minutes

out ten hours that you know. But you press on

because you want your house to complete. You don't kick

the contractor out unless they're really really doing nonsense.

You have to change contractor.

You still change contractor to press on so that your

house gets done. So I want to say in your

faith to know the end is to press on despite

everything else where the people around you are are moving on, girl.

People are behind you, people are succeeding people not succeeding you.

You feel like life is too still.

Life will stand still for you if you can't, if

you take away your focus on the one who got

hold of you now, if you can just see the

Lord not he has never forgotten you.

It's just that your path and my path are different.

We can't both take the same paths. We're doing the

same kind of life on earth, but our paths are different. Yeah,

it's crazy, but we press on. You just got to

push a little bit, little bit of energy to start

pushing to and say, Lord, you took hold of life

for me.

I'm gonna go and get it. So I need to

press on. Amen.

And maybe that path is not the same as someone else.

But God has something that he's working in you and

through you to take you know, to really I don't know,

pursue something that you may not even dream of yet,

but he's preparing you for that.

Amen, hallelujah. So he says here.

I'm not perfect, I'm not there yet. And people don't

have the don't have the feeling that you have to

be there. You just got to go and keep pursuing

the Lord. It is tough. Somethings is tough. Somethings in

life cost us a lot of money. Health we cost

us so much money. Sometimes we don't know what do

they know?

It didn't heal me? Or God didn't? Why is it

everything God's fault? Huhm?

Why is it God's fault? Relationship don't work? Got God's fault?

Who's the one who decided our date?

That girl? Did you ask Jesus? You didn't? Hey? I

live long enough, la sixty years old? Gonna come? You think? Why? Yesterday?

Bonner Hello, you choose that person.

If that person ain't treating you right leaving, why do

you suffer because you don't so? The outomate answer, I

don't believe a lord living alone wholesoy, man, it's worse

the hella, wrong relationship, wrong marriage is hell? You know,

I don't know what hell is like. My heard is

really hot, it's really hot. It's really bad. I wanna

say to us, you feel like you can't press on

because you're not getting where you want to be. How

about we say, Lord, I surrender. No, I don't know already.

I'm really at lost with this. Not I surrender Church Canona?

Who else to surrender to? I asked you, it's better

to surrender to the law. Okay, yes, we better surrendered?

Were better? I give myself to the Lord, and then

you will guide my path. Amen. There are lot of.

Things I want but has not happened. Do I sit

there and cry about it?

I don't.

I can't afford do why because God has gotten whold

of me, the great things I.

Have yet to see.

Imagine if if I stopped because I failed and stopped

and not move on, we will not be here. We

will not have a PJ we will not have a

whatever the Lord knows. So I want to say I

do have had my downtimes. I do have not had

all my dreams come true, but other dreams were birth.

Why because you press on in the midst when you

can't make sense of everything, and you can't make sense

of everything, you are not God. He is. Let him

unfold to you the plans that He has for you,

which might not be what you want, because your brain

is only so much. God's brain is bigger. He has

better days for you. He does, he does. Although you

are fellowshiping with sufferings right now, you still can surrender.

I want to encourage the church this way. I'm not

going to preach you messages that make you feel happy

and send you to hell.

Come on, don't complain. We're not being fed.

I am feeding you. Don't churge up because you want

something feel good. I am not here for feel good messages.

I'm here to tell you some days you will fellowship

with sufferings, but you are never alone. Brand sisters, we

should be supporting them, praying with them, cheering them on.

It's okay when it hasn't happened, it hasn't broken true,

when our parents don't get healed.

You get what I mean.

When our parents are down, they're not and you get

healed overnight, what can you do?

You your prayer are strong enough.

Don't you ever say that, you come alongside and you

cry with that person because you want to help to

get the press on because death is not the worst

thing either. Death is not Christians, Please, sir, do not

treat death like, oh my God, what is that?

Where the young old?

Whenever it happens, you be ready, really, we must be ready.

But we journey with people, journey with our partners, journey

with our homebies, journey with our friends. The best thing

we can do is, you know, call them, pray with them.

You may not think your prayer matters, by tell you

it does. They might be going to a broken down relationship,

they might be going to their financial circumstances. Sometimes it's complicated.

I try to think of a wave or break. So

I say, Lord God, anyhow I can share with them?

And I don't have how.

Some things is we made the mistake, loved. But I

want to say to my brother and my sister press on.

But I know it feels like no door opened. But

the Lord says he will open the door. So what

do we do? We wait because he already laid hold

of us. Amen, we see the pressing on us. Put

my eyes on Jesus, not on anyone else. Put my

eyes on Jesus, not on how come this person? Prayer answers, Hey,

how come that one got a bigger house than me?

You think life is about the bigger house?

Are you? I'm telling you I live in a big house.

Is terrible. So much housewok to do?

Yeah? I mean I'm not ungrateful God bless us gave

us the house. But you know, in my life, the

way I'm living, my I cannot love how to clean

house every day?

House? I need a COCKU know, the like robot. I

don't know.

No, don't just say whatever you are you have you

know on to do what pressing on is to be

grateful and thankful, Thank you Lord.

I'm here. It's tough. I'm here. Thank you Lord. It's tough.

I'm here. And then when you break too, you better

praise the Lord. Hallelujallah. Give up everything, So Jesus said,

right whoa.

He opened a door, A money pouring onto your let

our business booming. What you think only that you rejoice

now even in our hard times. I cannot journey with you.

When my dad was sicking, were you journeying with me?

You couldn't be there. When your dad can't go toilet

and put you there with me to clean him up,

You can't be there. What can you do? Don't say

that my prayers not answered?

What do you do?

You say, Lord, give them grace? You say, Lord, help them.

When you have a wayward child running away from Jesus,

you say, oh, I see Lord, your parent thinks killed you.

Please don't say that.

You give you pray and say, Lord, love this child,

Love him back to you.

What can we do?

I tell all my elders, my pastors and their children.

I tell their children, I don't expect more from you.

I don't. I don't even want to force you to

know Christ just because your father is a pastor. You

come to know Christ when you're ready. I tell that

to all our elders and our pastor's children. I want

to judge you because you are not a Christian until

you accept Christ for yourself. So please don't be pressured

by all the church members. Church members, don't pressure our pastes.

Kits are they're like you no more.

Just because the father's a pastor, he's name money pasta.

He's still the same man and woman right not still

trying to raise the kid. How the kid comes to lave?

I mean, I don't know what they're doing. They do

the bestla the town wants to make a decision, makes

a dishmself.

But what do you do? You just say, we're pressing

on it.

We'll press on Amen, so key in our faith so

that we can stay the court and don't belod here

below there, everywhere, below, down and below. Just keep on

the path. But we need each other to say press on.

You can't write.

I pray with you.

Maybe you need the money. I give you money now

if I have, I give to you to help you.

We need to come back to that we called exa

go and read X chapter tour. When there was a need,

we gave. We gave to each other what we have love.

We don't have a lot of love, but we give

what we can Amen or our help where we can now.

But everyone has a lesson to learn it because we

must search your own heart first.

What did you do? Did you apologize?

Did you did you put out your own funds first,

or you're keeping in the bank asking us to give

you cannot You must put out your own funds first.

Man.

So that's the p in my pop. Pressing on That

was verse twelve. Press on even though we're not perfect yet, Amen, anyone.

Here perfect already?

No I'm not, but I'm pressing on. I'm pressing on. Thirdly,

is it says here verse thirteen, Brethren, I don't count

myself to have but one thing.

I do.

One thing I do forgetting those things which are behind

and reaching forward to those things which are head. So

the the oh in my pop, all right now I

say the word here is my slide.

It says to.

Forgetting the past to be oblivion. Some people are very

good at being oblivion. That irritates me. Like the dirt

is there right, I cannot see, right right right, the

whole place there is in a mess I cannot see.

Somebody else will clean the mess and that oblivion. Please

don't lie.

But when it's our past, our mistakes. We made a mistake.

I had a bad day, but let's turn it around.

I just had a bad day. Don't rehash every day.

Bad day, bad day, bad day, bat day, bad day.

Of course, press on lah. Right, some days we have

a bad day. We do have bad days, but let's

pray it'll.

Be turned around.

Right, made bad decision, you know, maybe for the company.

You know you're gon't order one thousand towels, actually only

need a ten if you work in the hotel line

and you pale every day.

I don't know.

We just had a bad day, but I believe Jesus

helped me turn it around. The oblivion is I'm not

asking you say I sin and I'm oblivious to my sin.

No, we've seen we repent, but you know why we

made a mistake. We we got lost.

Some days we just lost our brain a time, and

we lost our brain.

We did something that we're not proud of. We did

something that we shouldn't.

We know we shouldn't do it, but we did it

because my cornor my flesh wanted it.

We wanted it.

Can be anything, friends, anything, you name it there. But

if you repent, then you say to the Lord, I

forgive me. You speak to someone you need to. You

need to have someone to count to that will help

you a lot so that that giant insight won't keep

popping and saying I know what you did less up.

You're like GENI you get back in the bottle, alright,

still said your past get back in that bottle.

All right? You know that song? Okay, never mind, so you.

You don't allow that to keep rehashing that I made

the wrong choice, I ate the wrong thing. And sometimes

oh I know, I wish I didn't go on knock

if I can't do my viva.

You know all those people don't PhD you your talk

to your lecture. Now you can't talk to your lecture

because you're sick. You ate some some bad garry puff. Okay,

all right, so you rehash and your hash I wish

I didn't do that.

I wish I didn't do that, or oh my goodness,

my child is like this because and you hash. Maybe

it's mistakes, maybe it's an accident. I mean I I

just went and got my husband's god damage driving.

Car and I didn't hit someone.

Someone hit me, yeah, ripped off the bumper in the front.

And then I'm like, well I got down. The car's

holding me. You know, they're like the after buggy. I

drive the same road. Okay, look at the road. See

so many cars stops holding me again sixty Auntie the

year old. Go to the police station. Okay, he stop

screaming at me, and.

I didn't hit him. You hit me because it's around about.

You shouldn't have moved.

So I'm thinking I shouldn't have taken his car, But

I couldn't drive out His cars drive every power, and

I just have to get to work driving a car

with his flap.

Going to spend half a day in the police station.

Waste my time, and then you keep going rehashing, wish

I didn't take the car. Some days you wasted. We

waste our time because we cannot forget our past. We

can't forget our offenses. People offended us. We cannot forget

our we made the wrong choice. We cannot forget the

rejection we felt. We cannot forget You know different things.

That hurt you.

But if Paul says, if you don't forget, you can't

move forward. I tell myself I don't like to talk

about I do like messages. They keep asking you to

forget your past. But I find it in church people

never forget their past. No, no, no, they don't forget

my past.

I remember what you did last summer.

They keep reminding you you're not already.

When we do show me, give me a chance to

get it right. Now, give your son a chance to

get it right. Give your wife, get yours and get

it right. Don't remind them, but to do that already.

Okay, So the hang us yours ready.

We wanna do redo it again?

Water again, black halluis cannot So we have to get

out of me, clear it and then boil again up,

boil another porridge. We have to forget now that this

this this word here forgetting the past is to be

oblivion meaning I'm forgiven and I need to take it off.

Is a it's just gotta remove it.

That's why when you're running your marathon, you some people

wear very little.

Clothes, skinny clothes. Why because you don't want anything.

To resistance, right, the what you win resistance, the lesser

thick clothes you have, the bullypacho la bay. You know

you can really, you know, really make it really run fast.

So the sin that he Brew chapter one, verse twelve says,

the sin that so easily trips us up, the sin

that so easy it reminds us. We have to say,

have I repented? Repentance is very important? Sorry, Lord, forgive

me or sorry, doctor Jason, please forgive me. You gotta

ask for that forgiveness, and whether he forgives me that,

I can't help you.

Right, So I asked for it. Right.

My job is to I'm really sorry, I'm repentant. Then

I have got to do that and then I've got

to flip it off so that i can move forward.

To talk about a pressing on? So what's stopping us

from pressing on? Because there are things that I'm so

sorry about. I keep rehashing my pass and I can't

move on, and that's what keeps a lot of people behind.

So the finishing line is there, you know, but we

cannot also for us to forget what others have done,

because then you're reminding them.

But sometimes I feel like they should be reminded. Do

you know how much I hurt?

Now you know how much I paid? Do you know

how I went through? I need to remind you. Do

you think that's going to affect them?

I don't know.

They are oblivion, but I'm reminded. And when I'm reminded,

I hurt, and when I hurt, I cannot move forward.

And so God made a way for us, and he

taught us to forgive and if we and we and

if people have wronged us, like they say you did

this and I didn't you, still you go and say sorry, law, apologize, repent,

I don't know, ask for forgiveness, and and we we

move so that we can move forward.

We need to this. We need to say, okay, done this.

I'm sorry if it's an eye thing, but it could

be a you thing against me, So I need to

take that and forgive and then move forward.

Amen. Can I not judge? We've got to cast it out.

Anything that will distract you.

Anything the enemy will take anything to distract you from

going forward to your e turn plans that God has

for you. And we have to say, we're all cheering

the heavenlys are cheering you on.

Cool edeline.

Run and you're trying to run, but you feel like

I cannot. I cannot, my legs are too short. Run No, run, edeline, run,

You owe this thing, this thing, But they're cheering you

and they're go for it.

Amen.

And we're all cheering each other on. We should be

cheering each other on not reminding us of our pass.

But we can't disciple each other to get through. Certain

things need to remove the roadblocks. Amen, all right, forgetting

those things. Because if you feel like no one is

praying for you, yow, this is dead, then I want

to tell you got the great High Priest spring in

the seeding for you. Who better to pray for you

than the Lord Jesus himself standing before the Father, seated

at the right head in the seeding for you and

me in our greatest time of need. But I know

we're living on planet Earth. I'm sorry it is a

fallen world. But we are fallen men and women who.

Have been redeemed. We have been redeemed.

May the Lord help us the Amen. So we need

to forget, We need to forgive. Life is such. If

you don't forget all and don't forgive, you'll come back

again one. It's like I don't know why it goes

one around me, boom rang back to you again. So

you cannot run away. If you don't tell the truth now,

and you run away and you don't tell the truth again,

and you still you don't tell the truth, then forever

you don't tell the truth. Mins, I just tell the truth. Okay,

why don't we tell them? We don't tell truth because

we scared?

Right? I scared. I guess school.

I scared my boss Myra, I scare my motto like me,

I scared you, But they scared. What are we scared of?

What actually are we scared of? So you and I

were many adults here, right.

You scared? Pasters call you? You always have.

Use my name better a person to call you. Don't

use my name in vain key, but don't ask you.

We are not scared to sin. Come on charge you

and I are not afraid to sin behind closed doors,

behind open doors. Don't say you're scared of me and

I can do nothing? Do you simply use my name?

I'm nothing, just the servant of the Lord. That's all,

servant of the watching the dirt you keep your pastor like, really,

that's what we do. We carry you in the midst

of your storm, if you tell me, I will carry

you together like we we more blood than dirt with you.

We don't stand there laughing you. No, of course not.

You went through this all. Let's pray. What can we do?

That's the heart we have. But I know you're not

always seeing me.

You won't see me, but I hope my other pass

will you say my home leaders would just we're not

as Yeah, you get what I mean, we have the right there. No,

when you sin, you're so clever to sin, you're not scared.

We're not scared to do the wrong thing. Then I

asked you do the right thing. Love, you scared to

do the right thing? What are you scared to do

the right thing? Don't be scared to do the right thing.

We seem so easy to sin. Doesn't make a way

for us. Let us repent and take that, and say, Lord,

take this, and he throws it into the depths of

the sea, never to remember your sin again.

Your past.

We are very shame of our past. Sometimes some of

us have different paths, different kind of paths. We shouldn't

judge people's past, what's in their.

Closet and on.

We should encourage and cheer each other on because our

past doesn't determine also our future.

If we knew.

Each other's past, we probably stand there and go double

lay humanly, we will say that, bully, But by the

grace of God, all things are possible.

To the Lord.

Amen, so be oblivion to It's done already, Lord, What

else can we do?

Right?

So we repent, we say sorry, we ask for forgiven,

as we seek the Lord. We surrender. Then he says,

come on up, child, come on up, and you're like,

I can't Lord. My past keeps me mind. No, come

on up, child, come up higher. Run can't Lord, this

thing keeps holding me. So that's where Goda be all

believing God to take it off. If you know how

to run a marathon physically, you need to know how

to run the spiritual marathon.

You should be able to apply the same principles. Amen.

Amen, So don't allow the disappointments, the offenses, the failures,

and the wrongs to keep coming back to you.

Let it go.

I think sometimes just letting go will open a door

of break to already.

Let's just let it go.

Fail me, throw my money, ran away, whatever took my

things to all this. I cannot even tell you what

are the things that people do to us? Okay, God,

I surrender and I'm going to bury it in the name.

Of Jesus and the blood of the Lamb. I need

a new day.

I need to believe that God will give me the

ability to get the past, and I'm going to go forward.

God already got that for me.

Amen, And you press on, Amen, and we close with

the last pop.

The P in my pop, the people, the p in

my last pop says this.

On inverse in verse fourteen, I press toward again, press on,

comes up again toward the.

Goal for the prize of the upward call of God

in Christ.

Jesus, friends, your prize is eternal, has nothing to do

with our gold or silver. This price is your eternity,

is your salvation. This price is such a great prize

that the devil will one rob you of your price,

which is your salvation, which is your walk with Jesus.

There are a lot of things that will come away

that will distract us, that would that you will compromise.

And I want to tell you Jesus, it's not a

spirit of compromise. Church.

Are you listening.

You might not like me, you might change church when

I tell you this, But I have to tell you this.

There is no compromise every decision we make. If CHR

say this is a A A no, no compromise, A

B no, it's just A.

It's B. God is very clear and he didn't do

this to hurt us. He did it to set us free.

But the moment you compromise, you will get into a rut.

Then your price which is eternal tabule cannot reach already.

Because we get hindered. Hindered, hindered, more hurdles come about.

So my lessons of learning is if I don't if

I have my insecurities and I don't overcome it, meaning

we all have in securities. We all do, but we

need to begin to remove them by the grace of

God's Lolila and the flesh. The flesh are very strong

or very canal. The cannel man wants his way. But

I keep reading this verse, and I've been saying this verse.

This is what Roman says. I am dead to sin,

but I'm alive to God. In Jesus, Oh Jesus, I'm

dead to sin. Why do I let these things stop

me from flourishing?

I am dead to sin.

Your water baptism, Hey, brother sisters, if you haven't taken

your water baptism, you should have taken uplow down. Please

don't say you're waiting for your mother to give you permission.

How medular And when he was twenty five years old

telling me, no, have you taken your whatever? No?

What are you waiting for? That time? Can with hair on?

I said, for so long, Christie, you know think you're

what a baptism? Wandola? You behave like this? Get what

a baptized?

Why you die in christsh and you resurrec in the

power of God? What a baptism is so important? I

don't know what you are waiting for? You wan permission?

Are you twelve? You're third dealer? Please go in water baptize.

The power of baptism is we die to sin, we

die to the old man, and we rise up with

the new men.

You walk in the power Christ. You go for the price.

Your prize ain't the girl? Okay? Your prize in the

tells what tesla tells? A pulla tesla.

Your price is the high calling of God, and the

crown of life is what He is going to.

Give to us. We need to chew each other.

On and say keep running. And we fall down because

we fall down, not to lay our crowns.

We fall down because I you, Oh, this person is

set him guy. You know no, you needn't lay down

your crown. You're holding your earthly crowns holding people. Get on. No,

we have to look at the upward call of God.

There is a price.

You can't see it, but scripture tells us there's a

crown of life, so I think. I think, okay, brand sisters,

as we get older, you could be thirty six now,

one day you will be sixty six. If I'm alive,

I can't see you la. But as you grow older,

we should be calmer, more patient. Because sometimes I catch

myself say, as I grow older, I'm not so patient.

I hear. I don't say I'm I'm sorry, I'm more patient.

I'm a patient. I cannot wrong concept because he.

Says the fruit of the spirit is patience. My fruit gone, Really, Alma,

no more fruit.

What happened?

I should be growing and flourishing. I lost my fruit

of patience.

So so bold to say I already know time. No patience? Yeah,

I asked me.

Can I say like Jesus says, I grow in the Lord,

I become more like him, so I should be more

Calmer's something I really say, No patience. Maybe we have

to change her because there's an upward price he got

hold of from me already, so I can be all

that God wants me to be a man.

That's my key pop for you people. You got to

know Christ.

Without the knowing going deeper, you cannot pop.

See if you don't know. You cannot pop. You don't

find a reason to pop.

Why I don't know you? And we can be a

so called follower of Christ, but never pop why Because

you're not pressing on, You're not forgetting, you don't want to,

and then you don't bother about the price that is

eternal for us.

So if we don't start with the K.

And tell Jesus, nobody nobody but you, they're very right.

Nobody knew, very bad you.

It's Jesus, not mister Chew. Ohbody, nobody but Jesus. Amen,

you need the K so that you can pop, to

press on, to be oblivion to the past things that

hold us back.

We have to forget. We have to forgive, and we.

Need to run forward to the upward call to the

price that is set before us.

We cannot.

I just want to say to us, how brand sisters,

And I'm like you, I cannot go to Jesus because

now I'm thinking, right, if Jesus was looking at me

in the eye and asked me what do you have

against this person, his eyes will penetrate through my soul.

I don't think I have. I can even say he

hurt me. He forgot my name. They didn't count me

in the group. They chucked me out of the group,

they didn't choose me. I can't because when Jesus looks

into my soul, he will look at me with love.

He will not judge.

I can't blame my salvation or loss or lack or

whatever to that person, because it's always we are always.

Blaming a person. But it's not. It's us.

Even in our growing we have a person there in

our failing also a person. Blend Earth is full of

person's love, so we can run away. So when the

Lord would look at me and with his eyes and

he stares into the depth of my soul, I know

that I will not hold my head up high.

It's Evans fault. I cannot say that.

I will bow in humility, in brokenness and say, Lord,

there was no one, It's just me.

Man. So we just need to surrender. Amen.

I'm going to kill the musicians by asking this. You

know my favorite song, right, Jesus, I come, okay, it's

the song of the season.

It's for us, it's for ex church. We need to surrender.

Because if I really ask myself, as I prepared this message,

I said Jesus, if you actually if actually you were

actually actually he's here, love, But if he came in person,

if he could actually.

Touch him and he spoke to you, and he looked

into the soul.

Of your heart, I don't think I will have any

excuse to say why I am in this orientation, or

why I'm in this season, or why I'm that, or

why am I cannot I can I can feel not

his judgment. I can feel his love. That love of Jesus.

He just captures your heart and then you call it.

I can't do anything. I'm frozen as in I'm.

Still captivated by his love that I have to admit

that it's me.

I need help, Jesus. I can't blame anyone.

I can't blame my husband something that so no, my

husband's my boss, or so you know, gonna marous no

from by Marami in front of my colleagues, or so no,

I'm the wife something they forgot I'm the wife, or

so ah, because he treats me like everybody else. I'm

gonna tell you how I feel. I feel very down.

But because we don't show partiality, we treat everyone the same.

At that level, God treats us the same, not humanly,

but the way God treats us is he looks into us.

You can't come up with an excuse. If you can't

come up with an excuse, that means there's no one

to be blamed.

Me, amen, so that when you know him, you will

experience his.

Unfailing love and then you will press much Amen. The

things that stop us, we gotta let go ken. That

is my message to us, and you will hear me

speak this message in the next twenty years if I'm

still alive with you and then you go like boss the.

Sandra chain stop.

But my role and responsibilities prepare all of us for eternity.

Amen.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
