You're listening to a message to go from X Church. We hope this message
-
will light up your tea today. Well, I've got to go to a
-
book God that I don't know whether any of you turned before. We're gonna
-
go to Revelations. Let's read the Word of God together, Revelations chapter twenty
-
one. You know, last week Elder Terran spoke to us and say,
-
Dy's coming ready, so a better read Revelation, you know. And Day's
-
is coming. Revelation chapter twenty one. We're gonna be reading from verse one
-
to eight. Okay. Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth
-
for the first heaven, and the first Earth had passed away. Also there
-
was normal sea. Then I John saw the Holy City New Jerusalem, coming
-
down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
-
And I hear a loud voice from heaven saying, behold, the Tabernacle
-
of God is with men, and He will do well with them, and
-
they shall be with his people. God himself will be with them and be
-
their God. And God will wipe away every fear from their eyes. There
-
shall be normal death, no more sorrow, normal crying, praise, God,
-
Amen, I guys looking too far to that day. No more death,
-
no more sorrow, no more crying, no more pain. It's gonna
-
come. Amen, there shall be no more pain, for the former things
-
have passed away. Then he who sat on the throne set Behold, I
-
make all things new, Who makes all things new. Amen, God makes
-
all things new. And he said to me, right, for these words
-
are true and faithful. And he said to me, it is done.
-
I am the Alpha and the Omega. At the beginning and the end,
-
I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who
-
TuS and burst. Seven says he who overcomes shall inherit all things. And
-
I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the
-
cowardly, unbelieving, aminable, murderers, sexually moral, sorcerous, idolatrous,
-
and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and
-
brimstone, which is the second death. He who overcomes shall inherit all things.
-
He who overcomes what this morning? I want to encourage us, You
-
know, I was thinking about what can't preacher am I? You know,
-
because Passima is very good with you know, if I ever study. If
-
you look at his nose, I realize he's not I sweat, you know,
-
and I'm thinking myself, you know. And the wonderful thing about our
-
church is that we have different different type preachers because we have the five four
-
ministry operating. Do you know that? Do you know five four ministry?
-
You know what it's supposed to be, right, And I realized right that
-
I'm the top person. Right, there was people who do things on So
-
if you don't like to do things, I'm so sorry you might not like
-
this message. If you don't like to change your life, I'm so sorry
-
you might not like this message. I apologize to your first if you feel
-
that you can come here, listen and go back and be the same,
-
I'm so sorry because somehow the Lord always gives me this my sage, right
-
that will cause people to well at least be stood up to do something.
-
And it doesn't have to be a big thing. It could be a small
-
thing. It could be a small step. It could be one step forward.
-
And this morning I want to encourage you. It's an encouragement, no
-
scolding her. I know I'm speaking be full of vigor and life, right,
-
but it's an encouragement that you are more than overcome us? Guys,
-
do you know that? Do you know that you are more than overcomers?
-
True? What true Christ? Who strengthens me? Because why the Lord is
-
the Alpha and Omega. So if you think you're sitting here and being defeated,
-
you are not. That's a lie from the devil. You're not defeated,
-
You're not no one, You're not useless. What has the devil been
-
speaking to you? What voices have you been listening to? Praise God?
-
We are called to be overcome us, That's what the Bible says. Do
-
you know that we are destined to overcome the world? It is our destiny
-
to overcome the world us. That mean that means every single challenge the world
-
trust that you you can overcome. Do you understand that? You understand that
-
you get that? Do you know that that also means that there will be
-
challenges? I don't think when Jesus came and died for all sins, he
-
said that we will live a nice and cushy and comfortable life. Nowhere in
-
the Bible, in fact, Jesus constantly warns us off persecution. You're you're
-
catch there, not right? I know we like to hear nice. Let
-
me let me tell you the truth lower, Okay, at least said we're
-
on us. Yes, I'm brutally honest. Jesus warned us ready that life
-
is going to be hard, that you are going to face challenges, that
-
things it's going to happen that you're not gonna like. And we're all people
-
made for comfort. We all like comfort. I like comfort. You know,
-
we all want to take things easy. But if you're a gym not
-
here, you know, no pay, no gain right, you don't exercise,
-
you don't put the hours into it, you don't do your homework,
-
You're not gonna be able to score. We all know that. But why
-
when it comes to our faith you don't do that? Why when it comes
-
to things of God? We want everything to be laid out for us.
-
And do you know that He has been laid out for us? It has
-
been we have been redeemed like guys catching something. We have the potential to
-
overcome every challenge. Amen, do you believe that? Do you believe that
-
you have the potential to overcome every challenge your life? Is it a financial
-
challenge? Is it a family challenge? Is it a challenge to your heart.
-
Do you know that you have the potential to overcome? You have the
-
potential to overcome, and hopefully, by the end of the message today you
-
have the answer on how to overcome. Do you know that God wants us
-
to grow and mature and be perfecting him. He wants us to that He
-
wants us to overcome. No parent here will look at your child and expect
-
your child to stay the same. Every parent here wants their child to overcome.
-
Every parent here understands that life is not easy, that people are gonna
-
hate you, that people are not gonna like you, that you're gonna stay
-
on people's stores, you're gonna be offended. And we all want our children
-
to overcome. Amen. We don't want them to live in a place where
-
they feel defeated. We want them to overcome. We will teach them things.
-
I still remember. My mum has told me this before. I think
-
Passequna Shad once or twice before that out of six people, five will like
-
you and one will not like your face no matter what you do. That's
-
the fact of life. It will be like that. Whether you mean it
-
or not, it's happening. We gotta understand that they have. So how
-
do I live for that one person? Do I live for this one person
-
that don't like me? Or do I live for the other five? We
-
have to teach our children how to overcome, right, So do you want
-
to know how to overcome? Do you want to know what you need to
-
overcome? Because it's gonna happen, guys, whether you like it or not.
-
For those of us who has been protecting our kids, for those of
-
us who have been living a sheltered life, you're gonna face challenges. Better
-
tell you now. You know it's gonna happen. Someone's gonna step on your
-
toes. Someone's gonna offend you, nonst unlikely person's gonna offend you. I
-
might offend you. I might be offending some of you right now. What
-
do you need to overcome? Well, as I was praying, I don't
-
know. This is a little bit tie in cheek, but I hope you
-
will follow me even as it goes see us a little bit. You need
-
the r F I D if you need to overcome. By no way,
-
this is my say. She's sponsored by touching goa no way, no way,
-
okay, no way. I need to clarify, what does rf ID
-
do well, the I mean r F I D. At the end of
-
the day, it's a technology. But we all know r F I D
-
when we stick it on our car and we go past the r F I
-
D sign. We've got to move forward, guys, We've got to overcome
-
the tolls. What is told challenges? You know, highway very nice,
-
you drive very fast, you go all the way, then you hit a
-
toe, you have to slow down, and then you see the you know
-
now now they's got no like money right last time money wor was done?
-
Now touch and go? No, Then you see a long line. Long
-
line is always touch and go. The smart tack lane and the r f
-
I D lane quite fast, but once in a while, the r f
-
I D lane will be slow, right, once in a while. Okay,
-
So what do we know about r F I D. What do we
-
know? Okay? Number one, it's supposed to be convenient, corn On,
-
It's supposed to be convenient. R F I D is supposed to be
-
convenient. It helps you move forward faster. It's supposed to put you in
-
the ad at the head of the crowd. Right, Why am I say
-
it is supposed to quit all the time. Do you know that you need
-
it? When you hit the toll or challenge? Well again you start and
-
go. But those I we all know, although sometimes it doesn't work as
-
well, it's quite nice low do not really our windows? Slow down?
-
Just go right when it's high traffing and everyone else is stuck. You feel
-
happy with r f I don't don't don't you For those that are driving,
-
those that don't drive sorria, you have no feeling of this yet, especially
-
when it works, you feel happy right, especially when it works. What
-
does rif ID do as well? This is an extra? Do you know
-
that rf ID gives your identity? Do you know that in your IC it
-
uses the RFID technology? Okay, don't ask me a r F I D
-
stands for in the you know the actual meaning. But it gives you identity.
-
Right when I put my I see it show tells them that I don't
-
know I can see my face, but it tells them that my name is
-
Elvin, I'm from Klang, I'm a Chinese, I'm a Christian. Actually
-
changed it right? And I stay in wherever It's all in my IC in
-
the r F I D. What do we know about it. It gives
-
you value. Right, r F I D has value. Correct, it
-
has value. But said, when you're talking a lot about idea, I'm
-
a bit confused. Now you mean after this and go by r F I
-
D or NFC touch No, no, no, no no. Let me
-
give you a new definition for r F I D redemption, forgiveness, identity,
-
and destiny. And this is in order. Let me explaining a little
-
bit what I mean by that. This is in order. Let's talk about
-
redemption. John three sixteen the seventhing for God soul of the world, that
-
he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish
-
but have ever lasting life. For God did not send his son into the
-
world to condemn the world, but that the world true him might be saved.
-
We have been redeemed by Christ. We have been redeemed by Christ.
-
Everyone who who is a believeral here. You got to you gotta remember this.
-
The moment you receive Jesus into your life, you are redeemed. You
-
are redeemed Psalms one or seven. One who says, or give thanks to
-
the Lord, for he is good for his mercy and us forever. Let
-
the redeem of the Lord, say whom he has redeemed from the hand of
-
the enemy. God has redeemed us from the hand of the enemy. Efficians
-
one seven says in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness,
-
since according to the riches of his grace, when we receive Jesus as our
-
Lord and Savior, and accept him into our lives and following his ways,
-
we are redeemed. That is a start. We've got to remember that because
-
without this understanding. Without this knowledge, the following won't work for you.
-
Without this knowledge that you have been redeemed, We're all sinners here. No
-
one here is perfect. I am also a sinner. I make many mistakes.
-
I am still making mistakes. I confess to you here. I'm a
-
human being. Yes, I'm leaving his church, but I'm a human being.
-
I still make mistakes. You can ask my wife. She's keeping track
-
now she's not. I don't know whether she's keeping She might have a little
-
black book at the side there, Elvin's mistakes. Maybe my kids keep a
-
book in their brain and they will come up later. You know, in
-
life manifests itself. Don't look at me as God. Guys if I have
-
wronged you in any way, I apologize. If I have wronged you in
-
any way, whether realizing or don't realizing, I really really want to say
-
I'm sorry. But I know I'm redeemed not by my own works, but
-
because Christ redeemed me, because I received Jesus. So even though I mean
-
so many mistakes, I know that I can come here and have a clean
-
slate because I know it's my God that forgives me. Even if none of
-
you here forgive me, I know my God forgives me. Do you know
-
that? Do you know that it is not for you to forgive me to
-
be redeemed, but for me to forgive others. I don't know how you
-
guys caught that or not. That means the only way I can be redeemed
-
properly is that I forgive others, not people forgiving me. A Likewise,
-
you need to forgive others, and it goes to the next forgiveness. Let's
-
go into forgiveness. God called us to forgive why so that we can give
-
up the past and move into the future, Because that's what he would do,
-
and that's what he did. Do you know the amount of betrayal problems
-
that Jesus went through his own followers left him. I've experienced that before.
-
I remember taking care of this young boy. I was in Teams Spinistree last
-
time or so. And the thing about Team Spinstree I'm looking here that I've
-
learned is that you can so and so and so and so, but you'll
-
forget you one. Sorry. I know some of you are not like that.
-
By sowing into a lot of lives, yes, you know teens,
-
I can tell you they probably don't remember. And I remember this one teen
-
who had some even some medical challenges, you know. And there was one
-
time where you know, we build relationship and then we want to disciple people,
-
we want to challenge them and say, hey, you know it's time
-
to back up on some things. It was a difficult conversation in a car.
-
I say, in Claang, I fetual this person stay in Sharlam,
-
come to church. I'm the main transport person for four years, right.
-
Do you know what happened? There was even once right after that difficult conversation,
-
person walked towards the house fainted in the middle of the road. I
-
had to go pick the person out, carry to the door, knock the
-
door. First time you think the parents high, I've got your son lay
-
on a couch, walk off after four years. You know what this person
-
said to me that turn past say it. You know I want to Changehuddle,
-
Okay, you know we believe in disparship. Hodder here, okay,
-
sure, And you know the wonderful thing you said. As leaders, we
-
all we thought, honor why we talked not for Funa or Gossima. We
-
talked to for the care of the person. And you wanted to change from
-
my harder to another harder. And I'm like, sure, sure, go
-
ahead, it's fine. It's you are you have you have a choice at
-
any other the day we do this. I don't do this because the person
-
owe me or no. I do this because I'm serving the Lord. That's
-
why I do it. Until today, I do it because I don't do
-
it for for people. I don't. That's what happened. And when we
-
had to sit down this person, the other hadda leader, you know,
-
our youth leader sat down, why why you? And they asked the idea
-
asker, Oh, because Elvin, you've never taken care of me at all.
-
Out do you know that I had to think after that and say,
-
well, a Lord, Hower, you feel like you're you wasted all your
-
time. And you know, I had to have a very important decision at
-
that time, because you know, when you you work so hard, you
-
you you you put all your effort in something and you hope that it works
-
and it doesn't know what You're like, Okay, you know what, I
-
don't want to do it again? Right? You have that feeling, you
-
know, you have that feeling. Do you know what God spoke to me
-
about? Do you know God told me, hey, Elvin, even I
-
was betrayed, remember Judas, he was one of my disciples. You know,
-
I'm like, okay, Lord, okayla. You know every time you
-
have conversation God and he speaks to you like you know, you think other
-
people should change, but actually God is interesting you. God is interesting you,
-
you know, not everyone else. I mean God, of course it
-
is interesting that that young person you know, and and we release, okay,
-
release, I just like, okay, sure if that's why you felt,
-
that's why you thought. Of course, the three of us leaders,
-
we were like, wow, this feller, you know, And I had
-
to ask God, God, Hower, do I still do it again?
-
But when God spoke to me. I'm like, Okay, a lot,
-
I will still do it again, and until today. I'm still taking care
-
of people until today. I'm still spending time people until today. Not because
-
I very big time or I'm the most eloquent or people like my face.
-
Honestly, you ask my other guys. I think they scared every time I
-
call them on their life. Oh no, they're doing something wrong. But
-
because I'm serving the Lord, because I'm serving Jesus, nothing else, and
-
I've forgiven. I know I shared a story, but I'm sharing it with
-
a laugh. No, I'm like, Okay, lah, happened, Learn
-
a lesson, and move on in life. That's that lesson. Although difficult
-
cause me to stop me my tracks, no move on efficients four twenty five
-
thirty two. Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak
-
truth with his neighbor. For where members of one another be angry, and
-
do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
-
nor give place to the devil. Let him who so still no longer,
-
but rather let him labor working with his hands what is good, that he
-
may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed
-
out of your mouth. But what is good for necessary edification, that it
-
may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of
-
God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Friends, Let
-
all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away
-
from you with all malics. Let me talk about this a little bit.
-
I don't know what people have done to you. I don't know what has
-
happened in your life. And some of you, Yes, you have been
-
really wronged. It's not your fault. It is unfair. Someone has come
-
and you have no control, and they have caused you to hurt. But
-
can you receive this today from God's word that let all bitterness, rough anger,
-
claim, and even speaking be put away from you with all malice,
-
and be kind to one another. God didn't say the person need to change
-
us before or a God is giving us an instruction here be kind to one
-
another, then the hearted forgiving one another, even as God in crimes forgave
-
you. Is it gonna be easy? No, guys, it is not.
-
I have been put in many situations in like you talk about refine us
-
fire, Refine us fire. That song was so good. There are many
-
situations in your life that you will face challenged, but you go rf I
-
need to go through or not? Or are you stuck there at at all?
-
Challenges will come, Those will come, but are we moving through or
-
we stuck? That as the toll because we cannot forgive collusions treated, then,
-
says bearing with one another. I think I've shared about long suffering here
-
before right and forgiving one another. If anyone has complained against another, even
-
as Christ forgive you, so you must also do your get that nod.
-
That's why my redemption and forgiveness it's not other people's responsibility. It is my
-
responsibility. Because if I forgive others, then Christ forgives me. It doesn't
-
matter whether people forgive me or not. And so Christ for gifting is that's
-
enough. As long as I forgive others, that's enough, because I will
-
move on. I will go through the toll. But when we have unforgiven
-
us in our hearts, we are stuck. Mark eleven twenty five cents.
-
And whenever you're stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him
-
that your father in heaven may also forgive you and your trespassers. This is
-
so important to me. I grew up having a lot of hurt in my
-
life. I grew up having a lot of anger in my life. And
-
one of the most precious lessons I've learned in my life is forgiveness. Is
-
to forgive. Do you know that I say sorry easily? Now I realized
-
I'm saying sorry to a lot of people. A lot of people in my
-
life. Never say sorry in me, no, never, But I say
-
sorry to people were fast because I want to be a person that forgives quickly
-
and move on. That's Mila, I'm just sharing my own story. Right.
-
Do you know that even the Lord's Prayer, God asks us to forgive.
-
Let's go to the Lord's prayer and find it very right interesting the Lord's
-
prayer. How many times God about forgiveness? So many times, so many
-
times God talks about forgiveness in the Bible. Okay, the Lord's Prayer,
-
let's go to it, Okay, Matthew six nine. It says, in
-
this manner death of pray, our find in heaven. Hello, be your
-
name, your kingdom, Come, your will be done on earth, accident
-
in heam. And it's just proclamation. Okay, right, go on the
-
context of the prayer proclamation, God, this is you right, your kingdom
-
come or will be done, made everything that you decide happen. And then
-
it goes to our part. Right, No, sorry, it still Gods
-
part. Give us this day our deliberates, still God's part. Right,
-
Lord, You're awesome, your will be done. Give us this day our
-
delibrate. Okay, verse eleven verse true of what did you say? And
-
forgive us our steps still our depth still God's part. Right. And then
-
these our part only one part is our part, as we forgive our depthness
-
only their part, and do not lead us into temptation is God's part still,
-
Lord, don't lead us in the temptation, okay, but deliver us
-
from the evil one, for yours is the kingdom and the power and the
-
glory forever. Amen. And then after the prayer, Jesus reminds us again,
-
for if you'll forgive men their trestpasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive
-
you friends. Forgiveness. It is the call of Christian faith. It is
-
the thing that will help us move forward. It is the thing that will
-
help us to overcome a lot of things. If you feel their life is
-
check your heart do you have unforgiveness in your heart? But if you do
-
not forgive men their trespasses while the son painful, neither will your father in
-
heaven forgive your trespasses. Who when I read this, right, I think
-
about myself. No, So I always ask for sa if I mess out
-
anything, sorry, if I need to say sorry, anybody, please let
-
me know, Please reveal to me so I can go up to the present
-
apologize. You know, actually I don't want to apologize. I need to
-
forgive, right, but anyway myself apologize because I know how important it is,
-
because I don't want other people to get stuck because of me, So
-
I would ready say sorry, what happens, And we don't forgive guys,
-
what happens, we cannot move on. We can start in the toll if
-
I then wait, and then I got how many people behind you? Do
-
you know that I'm forgiveness will cost hurt to other people as well? So
-
many people behind you know, and any of the reverse reverse, and then
-
our no choice have to go to the touch and go to you know,
-
get starting the gem with the rest. Many people get stuck in this place.
-
And the sad thing is that we might need that person and not realize
-
it. Do you know that? And I've been there before. We might
-
do everything right but have unforgiveness in our hearts and not even realize it.
-
Do you have resentment in your life? Reason is a restaurant word. Recently,
-
I've had the opportunity to counsel different ones, and I really recognized this
-
one thing, the brick true that the person needs to have for whatever in
-
their life was just forgiveness. There was the answer. There was the answer
-
because everything this person decided was because they didn't like this person or they didn't
-
like so they made a decision based on this feeling that I don't like you.
-
So I decided this way and it was so it was so binding.
-
It's so sad. Oh he's there, I better walk here. Oh she's
-
there, I better. It's so sad, don't you think so? God
-
asks us to be free, you know, but we make decisions because of
-
where we are at. But imagine if there was forgiveness in the place.
-
Wow, freedom, peace and freedom instantaneously. Forgiveness. Is there someone you
-
cannot stand? Did someone wrong you? You know? Another thing? Why?
-
It's difficulty for a gift, And this one I can share from my
-
own experience. We hold on to the past so strongly. What are we
-
holding on today? All right? The hurts that we have, the emotions.
-
Sometimes we hold on to good things. So so you know, do
-
you know that God wants you to move on? He wants you to overcome
-
the toll. He wants you to move forward, But we hold on to
-
all the Oh, it was so good until this Pasonday this move on,
-
guys, move on. Don't look at the past. Ready. God wants
-
to do new things in your life. And if we continue to hold on
-
to the past, it's going to be hard to move on forward. Do
-
you know that holding onto the past will cause us to derail ourselves from our
-
destiny. He can't know he can so strongly to the past. I don't
-
wt to hold on to the past. Ready, whatever happened yesterday happened.
-
Ready, move on. I mean that's Mela, Okay. I can't say
-
the same for for any of you, But guys, I've been praying for
-
XPJ and I want to see every single one of you here succeed in life.
-
I want to see every single one of you here be overcomers. You
-
cannot overcome if you keep holding the past. It's the truth. You cannot
-
move on in life if you keep having something at the back, extra baggages
-
that you're carrying with, you cannot move on. Very hard to move on.
-
So don't hold on to the past, don't hold on to that hurt,
-
don't hold on to that one incident that defines you. Want that one
-
incident to define the rest of your life. I'm sure none of you want,
-
right. So friends, come on, we've got to be overcome as
-
amen. Forgive and move forward. Forgive, move forward some of us here
-
you need to surrender. Surrender the pass, let go of it, and
-
walk into the future that the Lord has for you. Why am I focusing
-
so much? Because it is a barrier. I've seen it time and time
-
again. I've seen it time and time and again in the lives of people.
-
It's so sad. Jeremiah Something ten says I the Lord search the heart,
-
I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways,
-
according to the fruit of his doings. Sometimes we might be holding onto
-
unforgiveness, thinking that we're doing something right. Be very careful. You don't
-
have to work for God. God will do things himself. Do you know
-
that if the person really wronged you, the Lord will judge him or her.
-
You don't have to do anything. God is our nigator. But you
-
also must remember that if the person come cleans with the Lord, the Lord
-
will forgive them nothing to do with you. You know, God, it's
-
only caring about you. Can you forgive You don't have to prove the other
-
person. You don't have to live for that other person. You live for
-
yourself. You live for Christ. Because if if the person's sorry, if
-
the person is so important, then God will right there here, right here.
-
But he also knows that if we reconcile. You know, God is
-
in the business of reconciliation. I was sharing with a father last week that
-
I believe that your daughter will reconcile because as believes that it is what we
-
believe. Your daughter will reconcile with you. Now, she's still young,
-
now, she don't know. Now, it's difficult, never mind leave it.
-
But God will reconcile. Why because His salvation is important to the Lord.
-
That's why they will be reconciliation. God is in the business of reconciliation.
-
Amen, He's the one as I'm sharing this for you. Yes,
-
that's your part, our part. But God is in the picture. Guys.
-
Remember you must always remember the God's That's why redemption is first. Then
-
forgiveness, Can you forgive me that? No? Cannot very hard because after
-
this we're talking about identity. So who are we after? Redeem already meaning
-
clearly no depths cleared, you know, cut off everything. Then when you
-
forgive, you are free normal change are do you know? Forgiveness to cause
-
you them? Nor more change normal change of the past, nor more change
-
of different things. And then it comes to a place where we have to
-
understand who are we first John five fifteen. What does it say, first
-
John? Are you guys? Okay? Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ
-
is born of God, and everyone who loves him who be God, also
-
loves him who is begotten of him. By this we know that we love
-
the children of God. When we love God and keep his commandments, keep
-
his commandments. All the stuff that we've been reading about forgiveness is God's commandments,
-
guise for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments,
-
and his commandments are not burdensome. I know, I'm like going back to
-
this again, but when you have unforgiveness is very burdensome, is very not
-
so nice feeling. But do you know when you keep God's commandments and you
-
forgive, you become light. That's the promise that God has for us.
-
Amen. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is
-
the victory that has overcome the world. What our faith? Who is he
-
who overcomes the world, But he who believes that Jesus is the Son of
-
God. Identity, our identity as a believer of Christ. We are people
-
that forgive. We are people that over come. We are people that don't
-
get bonded or binded by the past because we've been set free by Christ.
-
This is what it means. Set free. We have normal addictions, we
-
have normal all these things because we are set free. Amen, we'll overcome
-
us. What do we do Romans Trail nine to twenty one. Let love
-
be without hypocrisy, all what is evil, cling to what is good.
-
Be kindly affectionate to one another. We've broadly loved in honor, giving preference
-
to one another while giving. How are how to give preference to one another?
-
When a lot of times are we just want to do the stuff that
-
we prefer We just choose things that we prefer how to give preference to You're
-
not give preference, Give preference to another doctor what you're gonna eat today,
-
Give preference to to one another. Right, not lagging, indiligenu fethern in
-
spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing
-
steadfastly in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints. Given to hospitality.
-
Bless those who persecute you, Bless and democracy. Bless those who persecute
-
you. Bless and ncus. Can we do that very hard? Very hard?
-
But do you know how you can bless those who persecute you. If
-
you forgive them, then you can bless them. But if you don't forgive
-
them, it's very hard to bless them. Forgive. God gave us the
-
keys to the kingdom. Ready, rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep
-
with those who weep. Be of the same mind to it one another.
-
Do not set your mind on high things, but the associate with the humble.
-
Do not be wise in your own opinion. I confess I am not
-
wise here. I'm just wanting my gods would say, amen, repay no
-
one evil for evil? Oh sorry, have regard for good things in the
-
side of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on
-
you, live peaceably with all men beloved. Do not avenge out yourselves,
-
but rather give place to wrath. For it is written vengeance his mind.
-
I will repace this to see. We don't have to do anything at all
-
We need to do is forgive and move on with life. Ready after that
-
is God's staking. Ready, he will out him for us. We don't
-
have to be the one. Oh no, I must stand here and be
-
the one that shows people how it's done. I must here to prove to
-
you you don't have to do anything. God is in control. While you
-
take on that burden. Take on jesus burden. Jesus burden is like.
-
Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he's thirsty,
-
give him a drink, for in doing so you will hip coals or five
-
of his head. How hard is it now to feed your enemy if you
-
have unforgiveness, so hard, right, But if you have forgiveness, forgive
-
ready should be quite easy. Right. Do not be overcome by evil,
-
but overcome evil with good identity? Like a simple question, do you look
-
like you're daddy, do you look like your father in heaven? We're his
-
children, right, so we should look like him? Do we do we
-
look like him? And finally, destiny, why do we need to move
-
past a toll? Because God has a destiny for us. God has a
-
plan for us. He doesn't want to get He don't He doesn't want us
-
to get stuck in the toll. But sometimes we get stuck in the toll
-
because of all these things. Right, you don't understand. If you don't
-
understand redemption, you will know that Jesus die for your sins. You will
-
continue living the same life if you understand redemption, but you will have unforgiveness
-
in your heart. You're still bounded by your past. Right, And if
-
let's say you forget, if and understand, you still need to know who
-
is your identity? Who are you supposed to become? Do you look like
-
a father in heaven? Or are you still living the same way we've been
-
living? And once all this is done, hey is exciting, guys.
-
Once you overcome, Oh is so exciting. It's so exciting. Once you're
-
able to overcome you were really used to rfid properly, you won't get stuck
-
anymore. It's like every single toller you will go through because every single time
-
it works, isn't exciting? Isn't exciting? What is our purpose here on
-
earth? We're asking all this question? What is our purpose on earth?
-
What is our purpose here in this company? What is our purpose here in
-
his family? What is our purpose in his community? And allow me to
-
say this, what is your purpose in this church? If you're able to
-
overcome all these things, you will discover your purpose because you are ready forgot
-
to move in your life. You are ready to receive. You are ready
-
and light. You're not bounded. Do you know that when you're bounded by
-
chains, it's hard to move forward because there's stock. But once the change
-
is broken, one says, no more baggage. Once everything is clear,
-
you can move all in life. You'll be happier. You will be able
-
to overcome. Amen. The sky is the limit. And do you know
-
that God has a plan for you? I was writing that stay, I'm
-
like, oh what should I put here? There? Realized hey, I
-
actually preach a whole message on God has a planner. So you can go
-
listen to the message on Spotify color. It's like to be continued in the
-
prequel. You know, friends, we've got to be submitted to God,
-
compelled by love, led by the spirit. It's a continuous thing and driven
-
by purpose. John sixteen three says these things I've spoken to you that in
-
me you may have peace. God wants us to a peace. Guys,
-
is our life not having peace? Then you gotta check ready whether or not
-
your RFID is working. Are you having no peace? Now? Please check
-
your r f I D whether it's working. You know that you're reading or
-
not. You gotta forgive or not? Do you know what it's your identity
-
because after that destiny? Really sometimes in my life my r f I is
-
not working that I would check U. Okay, am I far away from
-
God? Do I have any unforgiveness in my life? Maybe some of the
-
things I do. You know, I think I need to be better Allah,
-
because I don't know why my father in heaven when I do thinks I
-
is. You know, in the world, you will have tribulation. See
-
even the Bible promisity. Guys, it's gonna be You're gonna it's gonna be
-
challenges. Okay, that's going to be telling neighbor, that's gonna be challenges.
-
Tell your other neighbor, but bey of cheer, because Christ has overcome
-
the world. Amen, Christ has overcome the world. Today's uh. I
-
like to have the Bible app because every day you you automatically have scripture they
-
can read and like, oh, you know, And I realized that a
-
lot of times to script the scripture speaks. And if you have the Bible
-
app. Today's daily h scripture is second Coriintence, chapter child, verse ten.
-
And and this is the thing I find very interesting about about the about
-
the push and pull with us and God, because if I read this scripture,
-
you would be a huh, what do you mean by that? It's
-
very very very unlikely, because we all seek comfort, we all seek good
-
things, we all and it's not wrong, our guys, it's not wrong.
-
We all take pleasure. You're not having problems. None of us here
-
like problems. But here it says, therefore, I take pleasure in informities,
-
sickness, in reprocheest in needs, in persecutions or this guy is a
-
series man. You mean you like being persecuted in distress or men? I
-
don't understand. What do you like to be in distress? But not in
-
any distress for Christ's sake. For when I'm weak, then I'm strong.
