  1. You're listening to a message to go from acts Church. We hope this message

  2. will light up your tea. I really want to share this morning about the

  3. hope of God, really hope in God, not because of anything else,

  4. because I have been just seeking the Lord in my own personal journey. And

  5. sometimes you know, when you go through your life journey, right as there

  6. is this certain thing that you know, different challenges comes, all right,

  7. circumstances, challenges in the environment, different things that and the summary sometimes the

  8. summary, sometimes the bottom line of it. Sometimes that you know, situations

  9. and circumstances does rob us from the peace that we have. You know,

  10. I was talking to someone sometimes we go to sleep with worry, with you

  11. know, with doubt, with this, Oh it's gonna be better, and

  12. stuff like that. And the Lord just told me recently that you know,

  13. you need to have hope in the Lord. You need to have hope in

  14. God. We can go to whatever journey we go to, whether it is

  15. the positive degative, whether it's something you like, somebody that you don't like.

  16. You know, our hope in God doesn't, you know, fluctuate as

  17. our weight does, all right, I hope in the Lord doesn't fluctuate as

  18. our you know, likes and dislike all right, or it's based on the

  19. environment. Our hope in the Lord is constant because He is constant. So

  20. jeremi training, I was eleven. Jeremi training, I was eleven, meaning

  21. for the new living translation for I know the plans I have for you,

  22. says the Lord. There are plans for good, not for disaster, to

  23. give you a future and a hope. So jeremi tradeing I starts off this

  24. way, for I know the plans I have for you, friends. God

  25. does have a plan for age and every one of us. Right if regardless

  26. of our age, if regardless of you know your academic level, if regardless

  27. of your housing, your breakthrough or not, whether you are how it says,

  28. okay, I just use this word. Sometimes you don't feel so that

  29. holy. Sometimes we don't feel that you know that worthy. So regardless of

  30. everything, the Bible says that he has a plan for someone. Say amen,

  31. So you and I have to believe this morning that God does have a

  32. plan for each and every one of you. Very important to understand this because

  33. once we know that he has a plan, therefore he has a purpose.

  34. Nobody makes a plan without a purpose. Right, nobody makes a plan without

  35. a purpose. You don't plan to save money without at the end, go

  36. without a purpose without target. Nobody goes out and the word is study for

  37. a degree without the purpose of graduating. Maybe it's some of you. I

  38. like that, all right, nobody really friends you. So therefore I when

  39. God say he has a plan there, therefore he has a purpose. And

  40. we can take courage that the purpose that the Lot has for us cannot be

  41. taken away by economy situation. His purpose doesn't change, His purpose for earth

  42. doesn't change. Right, So the plan that he has for us doesn't change

  43. because of currency. So sometimes we think that all God's purpose and God's play,

  44. No, it doesn't. You and I this morning have to need to

  45. come to this place of assurance that God has a plan for me if regardless

  46. whether or not I can Followatterly, his plans for me to never change.

  47. The Bible says his plan for earth is good and not for disasters. Friends,

  48. God's plan for earth is for good, for good. Now, before

  49. you startingdia about why this thing is happening to me, I think a lot

  50. of us take got different definition of what good is. Different definition different understanding

  51. different interpretation of what good is to earth, being good missed. Nothing bad

  52. can happen to us, nothing that we in other words, that we shouldn't

  53. get stuck in any traffic jab because God's Goodma Right. Whenever we look for

  54. parking and the shopping mall can we can always find the right one. Right.

  55. Whenever we walk into a retail outlet, we always get something on the

  56. discount that we want. Friends, See, our definition of good is so

  57. subjective, sometimes is skilled towards our dislike and lights. And that's why sometimes

  58. we when we go to life and situation, we'd see that, oh God,

  59. why is this happened to me? But ultimately everything works out for the

  60. good for those who love him. See, God has a plan for us.

  61. It doesn't mean when he has a plan for us that we won't go

  62. to fire or testing, we won't go to persecution, we won't go to

  63. challenges. There will be days whereby you turn on the tap, there's no

  64. water like this coming right now, right the days whereby you just you turn

  65. on the switch there is no current. It's not you didn't pay your electricity

  66. debules. It just happens. Friends, We shouldn't just say that, oh,

  67. therefore it's bad. No, I want to encourage you God, It's

  68. still good in regardless of the situation we're in right now. The Bible says

  69. that the plan he has, it's not for disaster. God doesn't plan for

  70. us to feel. God doesn't plan for you to fail. Friends, want

  71. something's something about about about test things that in our Asian context that whereby the

  72. first thing that we talk about tests. We always think about exams, everything

  73. about exams something we always think. The lecture always set out exam questions to

  74. fail us on. So if you're electrial today, we know the lectures aim.

  75. The main aim is to draw things out from our hearts, really draw

  76. things up so that we understand, not how to apply it. No teacher,

  77. no, but no, nobody says out the exams the purpose is to

  78. fail you and Fred you know when something is set up the failing where it

  79. actually really thinks that doesn't really matter the other day, like algebra ekidding,

  80. I always wonder that why guys are the algeb brother that's like right, no,

  81. but it's not because the exem crisis are tough. The exempt crisis are

  82. there to draw things are from us. So when God's plan for us,

  83. we can interpret it as disasters, because that's why the law has to put

  84. it in there. Because sometimes we think that, oh, God, if

  85. this is your plan, therefore, therefore therefore that you want me to fail,

  86. or you said the basel I cannot pass. This is only for the

  87. eliti, is only for the super Christians. No, friends, I want

  88. to encourage you. That's not it. God wants to draw things out from

  89. my heart so that we can build when things are revealed. Therefore, you

  90. can build. When things are not revealed, you won't change it. When

  91. things are revealed, you can change. You must understand this principle when things

  92. are revealed that you can change. You cannot change things when things are not

  93. revealed to you. You can't say that I need to change my diet right

  94. based on what right too or not unless it reveals to you that, oh

  95. no, something is wrong with my system like a factive liver I got,

  96. you know, I got double rings at my side, stuff like that.

  97. Right, So therefore reveals to give you a future and a hope. So

  98. therefore, friends, we can have hope because God's talked to us us.

  99. Friends, I want to speak about hope. This morning, because it's so

  100. important for us to remember that God is thinking about us. God is thinking

  101. about us. God is thinking about you. That it is not is thinking

  102. about you. It is not someone who's a millionaire. Millionaire, friends,

  103. this is God himself thinking about you. When we go to life challenges.

  104. We need to have this assurance that God is still thinking about us. When

  105. you go to a massive challenge whereby it just robs you off everything that every

  106. strength, every mental strength, every capacity that His thought sol you doesn't change.

  107. So when we look at Jeremetric in neverse elevens, we can have this

  108. assurance because God understands and God knows us. It's not random, you know,

  109. it's no random. It is like this, Oh, one day I

  110. wake up, I start to thinking about you. It's like falling in love.

  111. It is not. It is not one of those things that you wake

  112. up. But like that. Know, friends, God has been thinking about

  113. us even before we were form I'm going sure you script you afterwards. Therefore,

  114. when God has a plan, his plans not depending on the economy.

  115. I say it earlier on even miss of long suffering, the Tune of Israel,

  116. that even the miss of long suffering when the job you just came up

  117. from Egypt. God was thinking about them throughout the whole journey. God was

  118. thinking about them through the whole journey. He provided for them through the forty

  119. years in the wilderness. Now, so we say about that, I really

  120. don't like the diet, right, I don't like the forty years in the

  121. wilderness, because come on, scenary is the same. Imagine right now,

  122. if you're a desert Okay, if you do not know what the desert look

  123. like, okay, just was John John the part of the desert. U

  124. No, but just imagine right now, desert scenary is the same. Right

  125. you go up this, this heal this this desert hill, you come down,

  126. it's still the same scenary. So forty year, same scenary, forty

  127. years, same food. To some of us will say that God, you

  128. can you cannot give a bit variation like they could be to be rotty tissue

  129. or the other day. But forty years of the same thing, He's still

  130. good. We could have been consumed, friends who have We could have been

  131. consumed by this out surrounding. But God is still faithful. So you and

  132. I need to remember that in the long suffering, that the tune of visual

  133. experience. God still remember them. God protected them for every attack, from

  134. every track to spend around, provided with them with his presence, a pillar

  135. of cloud and a pillar of fire. He was very evident throughout this whole

  136. journey. But many times, you know, Christian, we we feel like

  137. God, if you love me, you have to deliver me by tomorrow.

  138. If you love me, you can provide for me with the next light hours.

  139. And we set up this ridiculous demands towards the Lord. Say God,

  140. if you don't come to you within this period of time, you're not real.

  141. It's hard because help me of you do know that delaying doesn't mean denial.

  142. Just because our parents say no dessert after eight pm doesn't mean that our

  143. parents hates us. Recently, I just went to one homes itself Doughnuts after

  144. homes. Chris speak crim donuts after home, say out there, please eat.

  145. I look at that first thing, my like, my wife's voice was

  146. just so loud in my head. Touch it and I will know and you

  147. won't eat anything for next two days, all right, skid. I was

  148. looking at it. First thing. I didn see the nutsily, I I

  149. was looking at sugar the mouth sugar and every This is me all right,

  150. the mouth sugar and everything. I love nuts as well. But just that

  151. doesn't mean that I will not eat it. It's just that we need tomorrow

  152. morning if I have, if I can. But a lot of times we

  153. think that deny it. It is like God hits us. So I want

  154. to speak to you this morning and just want to encourage you that God doesn't

  155. hate this. All right now, wow, those plans. Let me just

  156. speak to you from New King Jyms translation. All right, plans for peace

  157. and not for evil. And I say plan to prosper you and not to

  158. harm you. And I mean version say plan to prosper you, not to

  159. harm you. Therefore, friend, when God has a plan, he's always

  160. thinking about us at the end of the day, to encourage us. When

  161. God makes a plan for you, it's not to fail you. It's for

  162. you to experience and the end of it his goodness. When God created a

  163. garden of Eden, he provided everything in the garden, thing about it.

  164. Everything was found with the garden. In other words, Adam doesn't need to

  165. do a second job. Adam doesn't need to do a second job to enjoy

  166. God's provision. Everything was provided for in the garden. But human, being

  167. human, we like what we cannot have. We push away the provision.

  168. We go after the tree of lack forever. After that that we experience a

  169. different kind of lifestyle after that. But God always intended for us to enjoy

  170. His goodness, his faithfulness's mercy. So psalms, palms. I think what

  171. some sitis on one tree? I think one tree seven is the great one.

  172. Next the next light, I think one tree seven tree nine, Verse

  173. sixteen. You saw me before I was born. Every day my life was

  174. recorded in your book. He saw me before I was born. Every day

  175. of my life was recording in your book. Every moment was laid out before

  176. a single day pass had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me?

  177. How precious are your thoughts about me? Oh God, they cannot be numbered.

  178. I can't even count them. They are outnumbered the grains of the sand.

  179. And even when I wake up, they're still with me. Friends,

  180. I hope that you have hope in God, because He's taught to us us.

  181. So sums on tree, and I says that you saw me before I

  182. was born. So, therefore, if anyone comes to tell you that you're

  183. a random mistake, You're not. Yes, I know that we are a

  184. by product of our our parents passionate night I have to say that hell all

  185. right, sorry, but sometimes when there is Sometimes we go through our journey

  186. of of of of on our secondary school, no, the primary secondary school,

  187. right, we get statements like you know, because you know we're not

  188. very good and studies. Your parents always try to motivate us. They'll say

  189. that A and I remember the statement has always been used like that my family

  190. before that pickture up from rubbish being, right, Okay, not some of

  191. your but you know I pick youre from rubbish being. Therefore, you know,

  192. like you know that you're you know, it's only by because I love

  193. you. So I picked you up something that right, And we go to

  194. we go to a lot of soul searchingent were much younger, you understand trying

  195. and say and sometimes you think that we we are sort of like maybe our

  196. parents could be why is it that you know? Maybe they want this?

  197. All right? So therefore we go to life finding searching, thinking that what

  198. is there a purpose of me being alive? Is there a reason for being

  199. being alive? But Verse sixteen answers that before we were born, he saw

  200. us a ready. Friends, before you were farm, God saw you ready.

  201. Every day of my life was recorded in God's book. We can have

  202. hope because God doesn't make a mistake in giving us life. And no matter

  203. what situation you're in, this morning, I pray that our hope in God

  204. doesn't fluctuate. Yes, we make mistake, but that mistake that doesn't change

  205. god thoughts and plan towards us. Every moment I laid out in a single

  206. day has passed God's you think about us? How precious are your thoughts about

  207. me? And many times why I really scripture it and encourages me because every

  208. time we made a mistake, every mistake we have made, every po choices

  209. we have selected, isn't it true? Sometimes we beat ourselves so hot we

  210. regretted. He said, if only I was wiser, smarter, quicker,

  211. more alert, everything like that, we could have avoided what we're experiencing right

  212. now. True not, But the Bible here says, how precious are your

  213. thoughts about me? I want to encourage some of you this morning because you

  214. go to you went through life thinking that if only I was as good looking

  215. as the Paneumania. Then I know that I can have groove skick skick.

  216. It's sometimes you go to life like comparing, but God doesn't want us to

  217. compare because it doesn't make a mistake. He fashioned you, He shaped you,

  218. and he has the reason why he shaped you that way. How we

  219. fashioned you that way? And we go to life. We're yearning for information

  220. for everyone else except from the Lord. And this morning the Lord wants to

  221. remind you that even though you could have made a mistake, my thoughts about

  222. you doesn't change. Number two is is that we can be fully convinced.

  223. We can be fully convinced because God is able. We can be fully convinced

  224. about this God because he's able. Many times in our journey we'll be if

  225. you if you look at your Christian life, if you look at Christian life,

  226. we go to pictures whereby the days whereby you you believe God all the

  227. way that most days you're just struggling to find out that God, are you

  228. real? And we have to come to this place to be fully convinced that

  229. regardless of what we feel, he's still able, He's still able to Roman

  230. Chapter four, wards twenty one says that Abraham was fully convinced that God is

  231. able to do whatever he promised. God is able to do. Why we

  232. you promise God is able to do? Why we you promise Our journey,

  233. Friend of life, will bring us to this place whereby we'll be tested,

  234. our faith will be tested. Friends, your faith in the Lord is not

  235. just about the serving that you do for the Lord. Your faith in life

  236. in God, Friends, it has to do with how we carry out our

  237. daily living. And we in the midst of the congregsion here we can have

  238. faith. We sing songs of faith over here, we declare it that.

  239. It is sort of like you know, our worst spiritual steroids in the church.

  240. Right, yeah, everything is possible. But when the moment we lieve

  241. church, that's where the real ess test starts. So that's where the real

  242. test really begins. Right, it's got real in your life that are you

  243. fully convinced that He has a plan for you or not? And many times

  244. now journey we always try to grab hold principles and stuff like that, things

  245. that are more physical physical, Because things are physical, it is more real.

  246. But you can feel and touch when God say here a plan for you.

  247. Got okay, God, I know you have a plan for me.

  248. The Bible says you have planned for me, But where's the plan. It's

  249. like I can say every packaging there is an instruction, but you open it

  250. up, there is no instruction. He got, okay, where is the

  251. instruction? You saw all the ingredients there already, and this one that no

  252. one's encouraged you. Wants to let you know that you have to be fully

  253. convinced. Because Genesis chapter twelve, when Abraham the God spoke to Abraham to

  254. leave his hometown to Canaanland, it was without a map, a physical map.

  255. You have to be fully convinced to leave one state of your life to

  256. another. You have to be fully convinced that God is able, even before

  257. the test comes. Before Daniel was tested with with water veshetable, he was

  258. fully convinced that God is able to sustain him throughout the throughout the whole time.

  259. So this morning, before you get into the test, you have to

  260. be fully convinced that God's gonna be reviewed. You have to be fully convinced

  261. when you go into office tomorrow that He's reviewed at your office. But many

  262. times our journey we here, Oh God, where are you? He's reviewed

  263. the Bible says you're not alone. So romanship the forward city say clearly God

  264. promised to give the whole earth to Abraham and send them was not based on

  265. his obedience to God's law, but on the right relationship with God that comes

  266. by faith. So being fully convinced is not dependent on the right situation.

  267. Many times we can only be fully convinced about church where everything is correct,

  268. for example, if the worship hits the right spot. I went to one

  269. church. Before the stuff of the service, one lady came up to me

  270. and they say, Elder, I just want to let you know that I

  271. haven't been feeling the oof during worship. I haven't been feeling the oof.

  272. I was very chicky. I wanted to think. I want to think about

  273. somebody how to answer this individual. I want to say that maybe maybe you

  274. need both, you know, both last everything when I have this oomp.

  275. Sorry, sister, let me give you some body, alright, you water

  276. say skidding, I would be feeling the oom, you know, and you

  277. know whether I still leave this church today, I'm deciding we will be based

  278. on your preaching, and when we're based on your preaching. That was before

  279. the first start of the service. I went like, okay, cool,

  280. right, Actually I'm not really bought that love we stay all you go on?

  281. That's up because of me, because it's not my name. It's the

  282. Lord to say your relationship with the love. Maybe the law wants you to

  283. go down church, maybe wants you to stay. But whatever it is,

  284. I say I smart at her. And the next question was like, how

  285. are you I stay? My age? So young are you? I think

  286. there's a compliment of friends. Isay, It's okay, It's all right.

  287. So before preaching all this thing came up really and I thought to myself that

  288. it's either you're fully convince God wants you to be here or not. You

  289. cannot be fully convinced based I can only be fully convinced when everything's right,

  290. when today the preacher is right, when the preacher looks like that. I

  291. can only be fully convinced when the preacher is more hated. Because most men

  292. of God at skidding most men of God. It cannot be fully convincedments of

  293. excellent because otherwise if accella change, then your convincing level changes all the time.

  294. So it's not correct. So the Bible is encouraging us this morning you

  295. have to be fully convinced of God's promise even before it has taken place.

  296. You have to be fully convinced that it's not about fooling. It is not

  297. about fooling the rules and laws and offends many times in our journey. If

  298. you're honest with our heart, we feel that we can only be fully convinced

  299. if you do things right externally, for example, that you know, show

  300. up on the right time, and everything like that. But the Bible here

  301. says in Roman chapter four wards thir Thing that Abraham designed and descendants did not

  302. obtain the promise to just obedience of God's Lord. It means just about keeping

  303. up by having a right relationship. By faith. You could be in church

  304. today, but without faith, you have given your offering afterwards without faith.

  305. That's why the Bible always speaks about the heart. First, love the Lord

  306. your God with all y'all come out, Love the Lord your God with all

  307. your Your heart has to be in it first. Friends, right relationship with

  308. God starts from the heart, not the external. Friends, God doesn't really

  309. need our money. He has been surviving all these years driving without OutGiving.

  310. He really doesn't need it. But out from my heart because we love him,

  311. gave the lady gave her best with two mincs, gave her best two

  312. couple of calls. Gave her best because she truly believed that God deserves it

  313. and comes up from the heart of just loving the Lord. The rich people

  314. in the Bible says, give out from the abundance. Now, of course

  315. we would say, well abandons, fantastic kutma, but you never know.

  316. People give the best, really disordered hair because God is bigger. So this

  317. morning, I want to encourage you to be fully convinced. It starts from

  318. the heart, because if your heart is in the right place with the Lord.

  319. Friends, if we don't have to explain much, you'll be fully convinced.

  320. You have to if your marriagehip based on certain agreement, agreement, or

  321. when I married a wife, she must learn how to cook. If she

  322. doesn't call this a dew breaker, yeah, I'll see Mary McDonald's son,

  323. right, McDonald's. You just order your will, comes on time and no

  324. argument. You just want what delivered? What true? Why not? I've

  325. heard of because we've done a lot of PM, I heard people say that

  326. this is a deal breaker. My wife must learn how to clean and foe

  327. clothes. He wives, you know, So I had fast the day fast

  328. day was sharing with sharing with us one day past the day for our actually

  329. pasted in London. His mom back in those days, get married. And

  330. one of the requirements for was the mom was that she learned how to cook,

  331. not just learn how who are slaughtered chicken back in those days, back

  332. in those days, right, And this was requirements she she went, never

  333. done it before, and don't not very good cooking. But it's one of

  334. those things that I love this man, Mary have to marry. It cannot

  335. be fair. It's it's it's this precondition has to exists. So the Bible

  336. here says it's based on your right relationship with God that comes by Faith's your

  337. is not keep on serving to earn God's favor, No, that's a wrong

  338. mindset. Is not given more offering to have more blessing, No, because

  339. the right heart comes by faith. This is when I pray that you have

  340. allowed faith to go in your heart. It's sais to be fully convinced,

  341. Abraham, keep on hoping in God even though there is no reason to hope.

  342. To be fully convinced Abraham, keep on hoping even though there's no reason

  343. to hope. So when I read this scripture about Abraham was promised a child

  344. at his old age, you have to be fully convinced and your old age,

  345. guys, at your old age, you're still able to perform more than

  346. hungry years old, the Bible says. And I thought about it. I

  347. think many times, even God gives us a promise, it's hard for us

  348. to put in action because every time we look at the situation, cannot lack

  349. impossible. It's never been done before, and there is always a reason that

  350. says why we cannot do it. When Abraham we save God's promise, the

  351. Bible says that He's gonna give him a child. Why Isaac came about?

  352. Right? But they have to perform the acting. Okay to Stadia right now,

  353. Stadi stady steady? All right. I hope they are not an issue

  354. in here, but they have to perform the act. Okay, you have

  355. to be fully convinced. Even you're fully convinced, you have to convince your

  356. wife. What would have to be fully convinced her? And I thought about

  357. it. I said, wow, no, no, I do you think

  358. about the act? I just thought about them believing God. I just thought

  359. about them believing the Lord. Just talk to them believing God. Really,

  360. at this age impossible age impossible, impossible, age impossible age, God can

  361. come true for me. So therefore, when you look at your bank account,

  362. or you look at your credit card statement, and you go say,

  363. oh God, this mountain of death is this? I must be so dumb.

  364. I must be like you know when you're handing out the brains back,

  365. then I must I must got the left or worse. When you look at

  366. everything around you, you must be able to say, God, I know

  367. that I in this situation. But your words say is that you will help

  368. me. So therefore I'm with this understanding, I'm able to take an action

  369. step forward. Many Christians receive God's word and just hide it in their journey.

  370. Well, it's a good word, it's stuck. It gets stuck in

  371. the journey and doesn't translate into a physical action. And we need to take

  372. God's word and put our hearts so that from there it gets translated into action.

  373. We have a lot of Christians have a lot of journals, but many

  374. times journalists doesn't transform life. When you put into practice, it gets transformed.

  375. So Abraham received God's word a promise was given. He looked himself with

  376. the mirror hunger plus years. Oh, look at his wife, saying that

  377. you are also same is as me, So therefore we are in the same.

  378. But God will say We're going to have the whole earth, and the

  379. earth will be given of descendants. So therefore that it's either that we believe

  380. God or we don't. So Aber was fully convinced. Now, please,

  381. friends will say Abet was all right, Please don't see that. All right,

  382. therefore, because he's got no friends, it's not because of that.

  383. Right now, Let's just let me just give you one more point. Okay,

  384. Abraham failed a Roman chapter forwards like Abraham's faith, you know, wee

  385. can even though it was hungred years of age. He figured his body was

  386. good as day, so was Abraham, wom Abraham never favored in believing God's

  387. promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought

  388. glory to God. Abraham grew stronger in the times of a challenge. David

  389. grew stronger in the means of people wanting to stone him. There is this

  390. things. Once you're fully convinced, friends, your external circumstances really doesn't dictate

  391. your internal conviction. You must have this hope in the lot of friends,

  392. whereby your faith will not waver because of the exceller situation. And many Christians

  393. allow the exceller situation to dictate there is no holy worship because I don't like

  394. the song selection or the worship leader talked too much, not you the name.

  395. But but it's true if you're ask of self, if you're asked of

  396. self, if you ask our own hearts, we have been. We have

  397. been like that as well. But Abraham never favored in believing God's promise.

  398. When his faith grew stronger, his faith grew stronger. I pray that friends,

  399. that we have made a decision in our lives to grow out faith.

  400. Faith is not something you just just having a faith, just believe so that

  401. if there's a stronger faith, there's a weaker faith. It's either you believe

  402. or you don't believe. In friends, you believe in marriage, you go

  403. all the way, you don't believe marriage. That's what we are, right.

  404. It's either you when you believe, you go all the way. One

  405. friends, you wake up, you don't give us so much and you believe

  406. it. You really to pay the price is their parents. Those cads.

  407. You really to pay the price. It's not a mistake, it's you know,

  408. they wake up, they do the night feeding throughout the whole night.

  409. Those aware of pets as well. I I love watching YouTube video on animals.

  410. I see people that we care three in the morning to feed, six

  411. am to feed. Good for them. That's my wife say. Okay,

  412. go on enjoying your pets online. Okay, when you're tired of this petty,

  413. can sich another pet? All right, watch another YouTube video. It's

  414. kidding, right, do you understand their friends? First bitter one, verse

  415. seven? Okay, last scripture, I got to go already, First bitter

  416. one, verse seven. These trials will show that your faith is genuine.

  417. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. Why do we need trials?

  418. Trials? Is to reveal our faith. So the next time you get

  419. in the situation whereby the word is that you you say you're not in control

  420. of your emotion ours of self. Why does this happen? Because many times

  421. you always like, for example, we get angry or you get angry at

  422. we always do that. But yeah, you got me angry with it's all

  423. your former I'm a right composeron n doil I met you, and we blame

  424. everything else on the other party and doesn't really. The Bible here says that

  425. this trials reveal your faith. Come on, doesn't reveal the other person's faith.

  426. It reveals your faith. So stop putting the blame on everybody else.

  427. Here. My wife next to me so much. That's why I'm always short

  428. tempered. I do not like that. It's not it's not the external.

  429. Friends, This trubt will show you your favor is genuine. It is being

  430. tested as fire tests and proified goals. Come on right now, fire.

  431. You have not seen anyone perifering go to water en just too running water there,

  432. PROFI go wow, fire purifiers girl, friends, Yeah, we'll play

  433. with fire before fire changes every almost everything it touches. Right. So when

  434. your faith remains strong too many trials, someone saying, man your faith,

  435. so that your faith can remain strong in every trial. We can have this

  436. hope in God. Because of faith in the Lord, you can this whole

  437. friends, no matter why rather another country go to war tomorrow or not,

  438. whether you'll be watching about this whole world economy, whatever YouTube video out there,

  439. they say that it's tough the next couple of years, whatever the situation

  440. would be. As a Christian, you must have respond that our hope in

  441. God never changes, so that when your favor remains strong too many trials,

  442. it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus

  443. Christ is revealed to the whole earth. Why find the Scripture of Friends and

  444. it's not on the slightest John chapter sixteen was to the tree. John chapter

  445. sixteen was to the tree says this, I've told you all this so that

  446. you have peace in me. When God reveals something that's come to let you

  447. know so that you can have peace with the Lord. Peace doesn't come from

  448. buying the best metriss or the or the most fuffy below. I mean,

  449. praise God, you can afford it. I know people spend sixteen twenty thousand

  450. mettriss before God was a wife with a fifteen million that comes by the truck

  451. one. Okay, I understand right on the cement whichever one friends, But

  452. piece doesn't come to the town mattress all the type of house that you have

  453. or whether you have the latest iPhone, it doesn't. The peace comes from

  454. knowing knowing First of all, God, it doesn't come because you have a

  455. better bank account than other people that you can custion the economic situation. For

  456. three years, I have met people that says, you know what, whatever

  457. problem comes by way, one phone call can county one phone call first,

  458. one phone call will fail because God will always put it in the place whereby

  459. one phone call cannot do anything. If a lying on the opporentiate table,

  460. one phone called cannot do anything. The Bible here says that I've told you

  461. all these so their care have peace, friends, all these God reviewed to

  462. us. Here is a plan for us to give us peace. How many

  463. how many can friend such a surance friends, such a show is that we

  464. can be peace because God has a plan for us no matter what. We

  465. go to friends, recently when my rather they've got scam and we have this

  466. we have we have this peace. Friends, It's going to be alright.

  467. There's nothing much you can undo a situation. Things happen our friends, as

  468. much as trying to protect and stuff like that. Things happen. But you

  469. can have this peace here on earth. You have many trusts and sorrows.

  470. But take heart because I've overcome the world. As I close right now,

  471. I really have to leave. I just want to encourage you. I just

  472. felt the Lord message for us this morning is hoping me again, hoping me

  473. again. I have a plan for you, plan for good, not for
