  2. will light up your tea today. Well, I've got to go to a

  3. book God that I don't know whether any of you turned before. We're gonna

  4. go to Revelations. Let's read the Word of God together, Revelations chapter twenty

  5. one. You know, last week Elder Terran spoke to us and say,

  6. Dy's coming ready, so a better read Revelation, you know. And Day's

  7. is coming. Revelation chapter twenty one. We're gonna be reading from verse one

  8. to eight. Okay. Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth

  9. for the first heaven, and the first Earth had passed away. Also there

  10. was normal sea. Then I John saw the Holy City New Jerusalem, coming

  11. down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

  12. And I hear a loud voice from heaven saying, behold, the Tabernacle

  13. of God is with men, and He will do well with them, and

  14. they shall be with his people. God himself will be with them and be

  15. their God. And God will wipe away every fear from their eyes. There

  16. shall be normal death, no more sorrow, normal crying, praise, God,

  17. Amen, I guys looking too far to that day. No more death,

  18. no more sorrow, no more crying, no more pain. It's gonna

  19. come. Amen, there shall be no more pain, for the former things

  20. have passed away. Then he who sat on the throne set Behold, I

  21. make all things new, Who makes all things new. Amen, God makes

  22. all things new. And he said to me, right, for these words

  23. are true and faithful. And he said to me, it is done.

  24. I am the Alpha and the Omega. At the beginning and the end,

  25. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who

  26. TuS and burst. Seven says he who overcomes shall inherit all things. And

  27. I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the

  28. cowardly, unbelieving, aminable, murderers, sexually moral, sorcerous, idolatrous,

  29. and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and

  30. brimstone, which is the second death. He who overcomes shall inherit all things.

  31. He who overcomes what this morning? I want to encourage us, You

  32. know, I was thinking about what can't preacher am I? You know,

  33. because Passima is very good with you know, if I ever study. If

  34. you look at his nose, I realize he's not I sweat, you know,

  35. and I'm thinking myself, you know. And the wonderful thing about our

  36. church is that we have different different type preachers because we have the five four

  37. ministry operating. Do you know that? Do you know five four ministry?

  38. You know what it's supposed to be, right, And I realized right that

  39. I'm the top person. Right, there was people who do things on So

  40. if you don't like to do things, I'm so sorry you might not like

  41. this message. If you don't like to change your life, I'm so sorry

  42. you might not like this message. I apologize to your first if you feel

  43. that you can come here, listen and go back and be the same,

  44. I'm so sorry because somehow the Lord always gives me this my sage, right

  45. that will cause people to well at least be stood up to do something.

  46. And it doesn't have to be a big thing. It could be a small

  47. thing. It could be a small step. It could be one step forward.

  48. And this morning I want to encourage you. It's an encouragement, no

  49. scolding her. I know I'm speaking be full of vigor and life, right,

  50. but it's an encouragement that you are more than overcome us? Guys,

  51. do you know that? Do you know that you are more than overcomers?

  52. True? What true Christ? Who strengthens me? Because why the Lord is

  53. the Alpha and Omega. So if you think you're sitting here and being defeated,

  54. you are not. That's a lie from the devil. You're not defeated,

  55. You're not no one, You're not useless. What has the devil been

  56. speaking to you? What voices have you been listening to? Praise God?

  57. We are called to be overcome us, That's what the Bible says. Do

  58. you know that we are destined to overcome the world? It is our destiny

  59. to overcome the world us. That mean that means every single challenge the world

  60. trust that you you can overcome. Do you understand that? You understand that

  61. you get that? Do you know that that also means that there will be

  62. challenges? I don't think when Jesus came and died for all sins, he

  63. said that we will live a nice and cushy and comfortable life. Nowhere in

  64. the Bible, in fact, Jesus constantly warns us off persecution. You're you're

  65. catch there, not right? I know we like to hear nice. Let

  66. me let me tell you the truth lower, Okay, at least said we're

  67. on us. Yes, I'm brutally honest. Jesus warned us ready that life

  68. is going to be hard, that you are going to face challenges, that

  69. things it's going to happen that you're not gonna like. And we're all people

  70. made for comfort. We all like comfort. I like comfort. You know,

  71. we all want to take things easy. But if you're a gym not

  72. here, you know, no pay, no gain right, you don't exercise,

  73. you don't put the hours into it, you don't do your homework,

  74. You're not gonna be able to score. We all know that. But why

  75. when it comes to our faith you don't do that? Why when it comes

  76. to things of God? We want everything to be laid out for us.

  77. And do you know that He has been laid out for us? It has

  78. been we have been redeemed like guys catching something. We have the potential to

  79. overcome every challenge. Amen, do you believe that? Do you believe that

  80. you have the potential to overcome every challenge your life? Is it a financial

  81. challenge? Is it a family challenge? Is it a challenge to your heart.

  82. Do you know that you have the potential to overcome? You have the

  83. potential to overcome, and hopefully, by the end of the message today you

  84. have the answer on how to overcome. Do you know that God wants us

  85. to grow and mature and be perfecting him. He wants us to that He

  86. wants us to overcome. No parent here will look at your child and expect

  87. your child to stay the same. Every parent here wants their child to overcome.

  88. Every parent here understands that life is not easy, that people are gonna

  89. hate you, that people are not gonna like you, that you're gonna stay

  90. on people's stores, you're gonna be offended. And we all want our children

  91. to overcome. Amen. We don't want them to live in a place where

  92. they feel defeated. We want them to overcome. We will teach them things.

  93. I still remember. My mum has told me this before. I think

  94. Passequna Shad once or twice before that out of six people, five will like

  95. you and one will not like your face no matter what you do. That's

  96. the fact of life. It will be like that. Whether you mean it

  97. or not, it's happening. We gotta understand that they have. So how

  98. do I live for that one person? Do I live for this one person

  99. that don't like me? Or do I live for the other five? We

  100. have to teach our children how to overcome, right, So do you want

  101. to know how to overcome? Do you want to know what you need to

  102. overcome? Because it's gonna happen, guys, whether you like it or not.

  103. For those of us who has been protecting our kids, for those of

  104. us who have been living a sheltered life, you're gonna face challenges. Better

  105. tell you now. You know it's gonna happen. Someone's gonna step on your

  106. toes. Someone's gonna offend you, nonst unlikely person's gonna offend you. I

  107. might offend you. I might be offending some of you right now. What

  108. do you need to overcome? Well, as I was praying, I don't

  109. know. This is a little bit tie in cheek, but I hope you

  110. will follow me even as it goes see us a little bit. You need

  111. the r F I D if you need to overcome. By no way,

  112. this is my say. She's sponsored by touching goa no way, no way,

  113. okay, no way. I need to clarify, what does rf ID

  114. do well, the I mean r F I D. At the end of

  115. the day, it's a technology. But we all know r F I D

  116. when we stick it on our car and we go past the r F I

  117. D sign. We've got to move forward, guys, We've got to overcome

  118. the tolls. What is told challenges? You know, highway very nice,

  119. you drive very fast, you go all the way, then you hit a

  120. toe, you have to slow down, and then you see the you know

  121. now now they's got no like money right last time money wor was done?

  122. Now touch and go? No, Then you see a long line. Long

  123. line is always touch and go. The smart tack lane and the r f

  124. I D lane quite fast, but once in a while, the r f

  125. I D lane will be slow, right, once in a while. Okay,

  126. So what do we know about r F I D. What do we

  127. know? Okay? Number one, it's supposed to be convenient, corn On,

  128. It's supposed to be convenient. R F I D is supposed to be

  129. convenient. It helps you move forward faster. It's supposed to put you in

  130. the ad at the head of the crowd. Right, Why am I say

  131. it is supposed to quit all the time. Do you know that you need

  132. it? When you hit the toll or challenge? Well again you start and

  133. go. But those I we all know, although sometimes it doesn't work as

  134. well, it's quite nice low do not really our windows? Slow down?

  135. Just go right when it's high traffing and everyone else is stuck. You feel

  136. happy with r f I don't don't don't you For those that are driving,

  137. those that don't drive sorria, you have no feeling of this yet, especially

  138. when it works, you feel happy right, especially when it works. What

  139. does rif ID do as well? This is an extra? Do you know

  140. that rf ID gives your identity? Do you know that in your IC it

  141. uses the RFID technology? Okay, don't ask me a r F I D

  142. stands for in the you know the actual meaning. But it gives you identity.

  143. Right when I put my I see it show tells them that I don't

  144. know I can see my face, but it tells them that my name is

  145. Elvin, I'm from Klang, I'm a Chinese, I'm a Christian. Actually

  146. changed it right? And I stay in wherever It's all in my IC in

  147. the r F I D. What do we know about it. It gives

  148. you value. Right, r F I D has value. Correct, it

  149. has value. But said, when you're talking a lot about idea, I'm

  150. a bit confused. Now you mean after this and go by r F I

  151. D or NFC touch No, no, no, no no. Let me

  152. give you a new definition for r F I D redemption, forgiveness, identity,

  153. and destiny. And this is in order. Let me explaining a little

  154. bit what I mean by that. This is in order. Let's talk about

  155. redemption. John three sixteen the seventhing for God soul of the world, that

  156. he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish

  157. but have ever lasting life. For God did not send his son into the

  158. world to condemn the world, but that the world true him might be saved.

  159. We have been redeemed by Christ. We have been redeemed by Christ.

  160. Everyone who who is a believeral here. You got to you gotta remember this.

  161. The moment you receive Jesus into your life, you are redeemed. You

  162. are redeemed Psalms one or seven. One who says, or give thanks to

  163. the Lord, for he is good for his mercy and us forever. Let

  164. the redeem of the Lord, say whom he has redeemed from the hand of

  165. the enemy. God has redeemed us from the hand of the enemy. Efficians

  166. one seven says in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness,

  167. since according to the riches of his grace, when we receive Jesus as our

  168. Lord and Savior, and accept him into our lives and following his ways,

  169. we are redeemed. That is a start. We've got to remember that because

  170. without this understanding. Without this knowledge, the following won't work for you.

  171. Without this knowledge that you have been redeemed, We're all sinners here. No

  172. one here is perfect. I am also a sinner. I make many mistakes.

  173. I am still making mistakes. I confess to you here. I'm a

  174. human being. Yes, I'm leaving his church, but I'm a human being.

  175. I still make mistakes. You can ask my wife. She's keeping track

  176. now she's not. I don't know whether she's keeping She might have a little

  177. black book at the side there, Elvin's mistakes. Maybe my kids keep a

  178. book in their brain and they will come up later. You know, in

  179. life manifests itself. Don't look at me as God. Guys if I have

  180. wronged you in any way, I apologize. If I have wronged you in

  181. any way, whether realizing or don't realizing, I really really want to say

  182. I'm sorry. But I know I'm redeemed not by my own works, but

  183. because Christ redeemed me, because I received Jesus. So even though I mean

  184. so many mistakes, I know that I can come here and have a clean

  185. slate because I know it's my God that forgives me. Even if none of

  186. you here forgive me, I know my God forgives me. Do you know

  187. that? Do you know that it is not for you to forgive me to

  188. be redeemed, but for me to forgive others. I don't know how you

  189. guys caught that or not. That means the only way I can be redeemed

  190. properly is that I forgive others, not people forgiving me. A Likewise,

  191. you need to forgive others, and it goes to the next forgiveness. Let's

  192. go into forgiveness. God called us to forgive why so that we can give

  193. up the past and move into the future, Because that's what he would do,

  194. and that's what he did. Do you know the amount of betrayal problems

  195. that Jesus went through his own followers left him. I've experienced that before.

  196. I remember taking care of this young boy. I was in Teams Spinistree last

  197. time or so. And the thing about Team Spinstree I'm looking here that I've

  198. learned is that you can so and so and so and so, but you'll

  199. forget you one. Sorry. I know some of you are not like that.

  200. By sowing into a lot of lives, yes, you know teens,

  201. I can tell you they probably don't remember. And I remember this one teen

  202. who had some even some medical challenges, you know. And there was one

  203. time where you know, we build relationship and then we want to disciple people,

  204. we want to challenge them and say, hey, you know it's time

  205. to back up on some things. It was a difficult conversation in a car.

  206. I say, in Claang, I fetual this person stay in Sharlam,

  207. come to church. I'm the main transport person for four years, right.

  208. Do you know what happened? There was even once right after that difficult conversation,

  209. person walked towards the house fainted in the middle of the road. I

  210. had to go pick the person out, carry to the door, knock the

  211. door. First time you think the parents high, I've got your son lay

  212. on a couch, walk off after four years. You know what this person

  213. said to me that turn past say it. You know I want to Changehuddle,

  214. Okay, you know we believe in disparship. Hodder here, okay,

  215. sure, And you know the wonderful thing you said. As leaders, we

  216. all we thought, honor why we talked not for Funa or Gossima. We

  217. talked to for the care of the person. And you wanted to change from

  218. my harder to another harder. And I'm like, sure, sure, go

  219. ahead, it's fine. It's you are you have you have a choice at

  220. any other the day we do this. I don't do this because the person

  221. owe me or no. I do this because I'm serving the Lord. That's

  222. why I do it. Until today, I do it because I don't do

  223. it for for people. I don't. That's what happened. And when we

  224. had to sit down this person, the other hadda leader, you know,

  225. our youth leader sat down, why why you? And they asked the idea

  226. asker, Oh, because Elvin, you've never taken care of me at all.

  227. Out do you know that I had to think after that and say,

  228. well, a Lord, Hower, you feel like you're you wasted all your

  229. time. And you know, I had to have a very important decision at

  230. that time, because you know, when you you work so hard, you

  231. you you you put all your effort in something and you hope that it works

  232. and it doesn't know what You're like, Okay, you know what, I

  233. don't want to do it again? Right? You have that feeling, you

  234. know, you have that feeling. Do you know what God spoke to me

  235. about? Do you know God told me, hey, Elvin, even I

  236. was betrayed, remember Judas, he was one of my disciples. You know,

  237. I'm like, okay, Lord, okayla. You know every time you

  238. have conversation God and he speaks to you like you know, you think other

  239. people should change, but actually God is interesting you. God is interesting you,

  240. you know, not everyone else. I mean God, of course it

  241. is interesting that that young person you know, and and we release, okay,

  242. release, I just like, okay, sure if that's why you felt,

  243. that's why you thought. Of course, the three of us leaders,

  244. we were like, wow, this feller, you know, And I had

  245. to ask God, God, Hower, do I still do it again?

  246. But when God spoke to me. I'm like, Okay, a lot,

  247. I will still do it again, and until today. I'm still taking care

  248. of people until today. I'm still spending time people until today. Not because

  249. I very big time or I'm the most eloquent or people like my face.

  250. Honestly, you ask my other guys. I think they scared every time I

  251. call them on their life. Oh no, they're doing something wrong. But

  252. because I'm serving the Lord, because I'm serving Jesus, nothing else, and

  253. I've forgiven. I know I shared a story, but I'm sharing it with

  254. a laugh. No, I'm like, Okay, lah, happened, Learn

  255. a lesson, and move on in life. That's that lesson. Although difficult

  256. cause me to stop me my tracks, no move on efficients four twenty five

  257. thirty two. Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak

  258. truth with his neighbor. For where members of one another be angry, and

  259. do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

  260. nor give place to the devil. Let him who so still no longer,

  261. but rather let him labor working with his hands what is good, that he

  262. may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed

  263. out of your mouth. But what is good for necessary edification, that it

  264. may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of

  265. God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Friends, Let

  266. all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away

  267. from you with all malics. Let me talk about this a little bit.

  268. I don't know what people have done to you. I don't know what has

  269. happened in your life. And some of you, Yes, you have been

  270. really wronged. It's not your fault. It is unfair. Someone has come

  271. and you have no control, and they have caused you to hurt. But

  272. can you receive this today from God's word that let all bitterness, rough anger,

  273. claim, and even speaking be put away from you with all malice,

  274. and be kind to one another. God didn't say the person need to change

  275. us before or a God is giving us an instruction here be kind to one

  276. another, then the hearted forgiving one another, even as God in crimes forgave

  277. you. Is it gonna be easy? No, guys, it is not.

  278. I have been put in many situations in like you talk about refine us

  279. fire, Refine us fire. That song was so good. There are many

  280. situations in your life that you will face challenged, but you go rf I

  281. need to go through or not? Or are you stuck there at at all?

  282. Challenges will come, Those will come, but are we moving through or

  283. we stuck? That as the toll because we cannot forgive collusions treated, then,

  284. says bearing with one another. I think I've shared about long suffering here

  285. before right and forgiving one another. If anyone has complained against another, even

  286. as Christ forgive you, so you must also do your get that nod.

  287. That's why my redemption and forgiveness it's not other people's responsibility. It is my

  288. responsibility. Because if I forgive others, then Christ forgives me. It doesn't

  289. matter whether people forgive me or not. And so Christ for gifting is that's

  290. enough. As long as I forgive others, that's enough, because I will

  291. move on. I will go through the toll. But when we have unforgiven

  292. us in our hearts, we are stuck. Mark eleven twenty five cents.

  293. And whenever you're stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him

  294. that your father in heaven may also forgive you and your trespassers. This is

  295. so important to me. I grew up having a lot of hurt in my

  296. life. I grew up having a lot of anger in my life. And

  297. one of the most precious lessons I've learned in my life is forgiveness. Is

  298. to forgive. Do you know that I say sorry easily? Now I realized

  299. I'm saying sorry to a lot of people. A lot of people in my

  300. life. Never say sorry in me, no, never, But I say

  301. sorry to people were fast because I want to be a person that forgives quickly

  302. and move on. That's Mila, I'm just sharing my own story. Right.

  303. Do you know that even the Lord's Prayer, God asks us to forgive.

  304. Let's go to the Lord's prayer and find it very right interesting the Lord's

  305. prayer. How many times God about forgiveness? So many times, so many

  306. times God talks about forgiveness in the Bible. Okay, the Lord's Prayer,

  307. let's go to it, Okay, Matthew six nine. It says, in

  308. this manner death of pray, our find in heaven. Hello, be your

  309. name, your kingdom, Come, your will be done on earth, accident

  310. in heam. And it's just proclamation. Okay, right, go on the

  311. context of the prayer proclamation, God, this is you right, your kingdom

  312. come or will be done, made everything that you decide happen. And then

  313. it goes to our part. Right, No, sorry, it still Gods

  314. part. Give us this day our deliberates, still God's part. Right,

  315. Lord, You're awesome, your will be done. Give us this day our

  316. delibrate. Okay, verse eleven verse true of what did you say? And

  317. forgive us our steps still our depth still God's part. Right. And then

  318. these our part only one part is our part, as we forgive our depthness

  319. only their part, and do not lead us into temptation is God's part still,

  320. Lord, don't lead us in the temptation, okay, but deliver us

  321. from the evil one, for yours is the kingdom and the power and the

  322. glory forever. Amen. And then after the prayer, Jesus reminds us again,

  323. for if you'll forgive men their trestpasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive

  324. you friends. Forgiveness. It is the call of Christian faith. It is

  325. the thing that will help us move forward. It is the thing that will

  326. help us to overcome a lot of things. If you feel their life is

  327. check your heart do you have unforgiveness in your heart? But if you do

  328. not forgive men their trespasses while the son painful, neither will your father in

  329. heaven forgive your trespasses. Who when I read this, right, I think

  330. about myself. No, So I always ask for sa if I mess out

  331. anything, sorry, if I need to say sorry, anybody, please let

  332. me know, Please reveal to me so I can go up to the present

  333. apologize. You know, actually I don't want to apologize. I need to

  334. forgive, right, but anyway myself apologize because I know how important it is,

  335. because I don't want other people to get stuck because of me, So

  336. I would ready say sorry, what happens, And we don't forgive guys,

  337. what happens, we cannot move on. We can start in the toll if

  338. I then wait, and then I got how many people behind you? Do

  339. you know that I'm forgiveness will cost hurt to other people as well? So

  340. many people behind you know, and any of the reverse reverse, and then

  341. our no choice have to go to the touch and go to you know,

  342. get starting the gem with the rest. Many people get stuck in this place.

  343. And the sad thing is that we might need that person and not realize

  344. it. Do you know that? And I've been there before. We might

  345. do everything right but have unforgiveness in our hearts and not even realize it.

  346. Do you have resentment in your life? Reason is a restaurant word. Recently,

  347. I've had the opportunity to counsel different ones, and I really recognized this

  348. one thing, the brick true that the person needs to have for whatever in

  349. their life was just forgiveness. There was the answer. There was the answer

  350. because everything this person decided was because they didn't like this person or they didn't

  351. like so they made a decision based on this feeling that I don't like you.

  352. So I decided this way and it was so it was so binding.

  353. It's so sad. Oh he's there, I better walk here. Oh she's

  354. there, I better. It's so sad, don't you think so? God

  355. asks us to be free, you know, but we make decisions because of

  356. where we are at. But imagine if there was forgiveness in the place.

  357. Wow, freedom, peace and freedom instantaneously. Forgiveness. Is there someone you

  358. cannot stand? Did someone wrong you? You know? Another thing? Why?

  359. It's difficulty for a gift, And this one I can share from my

  360. own experience. We hold on to the past so strongly. What are we

  361. holding on today? All right? The hurts that we have, the emotions.

  362. Sometimes we hold on to good things. So so you know, do

  363. you know that God wants you to move on? He wants you to overcome

  364. the toll. He wants you to move forward, But we hold on to

  365. all the Oh, it was so good until this Pasonday this move on,

  366. guys, move on. Don't look at the past. Ready. God wants

  367. to do new things in your life. And if we continue to hold on

  368. to the past, it's going to be hard to move on forward. Do

  369. you know that holding onto the past will cause us to derail ourselves from our

  370. destiny. He can't know he can so strongly to the past. I don't

  371. wt to hold on to the past. Ready, whatever happened yesterday happened.

  372. Ready, move on. I mean that's Mela, Okay. I can't say

  373. the same for for any of you, But guys, I've been praying for

  374. XPJ and I want to see every single one of you here succeed in life.

  375. I want to see every single one of you here be overcomers. You

  376. cannot overcome if you keep holding the past. It's the truth. You cannot

  377. move on in life if you keep having something at the back, extra baggages

  378. that you're carrying with, you cannot move on. Very hard to move on.

  379. So don't hold on to the past, don't hold on to that hurt,

  380. don't hold on to that one incident that defines you. Want that one

  381. incident to define the rest of your life. I'm sure none of you want,

  382. right. So friends, come on, we've got to be overcome as

  383. amen. Forgive and move forward. Forgive, move forward some of us here

  384. you need to surrender. Surrender the pass, let go of it, and

  385. walk into the future that the Lord has for you. Why am I focusing

  386. so much? Because it is a barrier. I've seen it time and time

  387. again. I've seen it time and time and again in the lives of people.

  388. It's so sad. Jeremiah Something ten says I the Lord search the heart,

  389. I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways,

  390. according to the fruit of his doings. Sometimes we might be holding onto

  391. unforgiveness, thinking that we're doing something right. Be very careful. You don't

  392. have to work for God. God will do things himself. Do you know

  393. that if the person really wronged you, the Lord will judge him or her.

  394. You don't have to do anything. God is our nigator. But you

  395. also must remember that if the person come cleans with the Lord, the Lord

  396. will forgive them nothing to do with you. You know, God, it's

  397. only caring about you. Can you forgive You don't have to prove the other

  398. person. You don't have to live for that other person. You live for

  399. yourself. You live for Christ. Because if if the person's sorry, if

  400. the person is so important, then God will right there here, right here.

  401. But he also knows that if we reconcile. You know, God is

  402. in the business of reconciliation. I was sharing with a father last week that

  403. I believe that your daughter will reconcile because as believes that it is what we

  404. believe. Your daughter will reconcile with you. Now, she's still young,

  405. now, she don't know. Now, it's difficult, never mind leave it.

  406. But God will reconcile. Why because His salvation is important to the Lord.

  407. That's why they will be reconciliation. God is in the business of reconciliation.

  408. Amen, He's the one as I'm sharing this for you. Yes,

  409. that's your part, our part. But God is in the picture. Guys.

  410. Remember you must always remember the God's That's why redemption is first. Then

  411. forgiveness, Can you forgive me that? No? Cannot very hard because after

  412. this we're talking about identity. So who are we after? Redeem already meaning

  413. clearly no depths cleared, you know, cut off everything. Then when you

  414. forgive, you are free normal change are do you know? Forgiveness to cause

  415. you them? Nor more change normal change of the past, nor more change

  416. of different things. And then it comes to a place where we have to

  417. understand who are we first John five fifteen. What does it say, first

  418. John? Are you guys? Okay? Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ

  419. is born of God, and everyone who loves him who be God, also

  420. loves him who is begotten of him. By this we know that we love

  421. the children of God. When we love God and keep his commandments, keep

  422. his commandments. All the stuff that we've been reading about forgiveness is God's commandments,

  423. guise for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments,

  424. and his commandments are not burdensome. I know, I'm like going back to

  425. this again, but when you have unforgiveness is very burdensome, is very not

  426. so nice feeling. But do you know when you keep God's commandments and you

  427. forgive, you become light. That's the promise that God has for us.

  428. Amen. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is

  429. the victory that has overcome the world. What our faith? Who is he

  430. who overcomes the world, But he who believes that Jesus is the Son of

  431. God. Identity, our identity as a believer of Christ. We are people

  432. that forgive. We are people that over come. We are people that don't

  433. get bonded or binded by the past because we've been set free by Christ.

  434. This is what it means. Set free. We have normal addictions, we

  435. have normal all these things because we are set free. Amen, we'll overcome

  436. us. What do we do Romans Trail nine to twenty one. Let love

  437. be without hypocrisy, all what is evil, cling to what is good.

  438. Be kindly affectionate to one another. We've broadly loved in honor, giving preference

  439. to one another while giving. How are how to give preference to one another?

  440. When a lot of times are we just want to do the stuff that

  441. we prefer We just choose things that we prefer how to give preference to You're

  442. not give preference, Give preference to another doctor what you're gonna eat today,

  443. Give preference to to one another. Right, not lagging, indiligenu fethern in

  444. spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing

  445. steadfastly in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints. Given to hospitality.

  446. Bless those who persecute you, Bless and democracy. Bless those who persecute

  447. you. Bless and ncus. Can we do that very hard? Very hard?

  448. But do you know how you can bless those who persecute you. If

  449. you forgive them, then you can bless them. But if you don't forgive

  450. them, it's very hard to bless them. Forgive. God gave us the

  451. keys to the kingdom. Ready, rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep

  452. with those who weep. Be of the same mind to it one another.

  453. Do not set your mind on high things, but the associate with the humble.

  454. Do not be wise in your own opinion. I confess I am not

  455. wise here. I'm just wanting my gods would say, amen, repay no

  456. one evil for evil? Oh sorry, have regard for good things in the

  457. side of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on

  458. you, live peaceably with all men beloved. Do not avenge out yourselves,

  459. but rather give place to wrath. For it is written vengeance his mind.

  460. I will repace this to see. We don't have to do anything at all

  461. We need to do is forgive and move on with life. Ready after that

  462. is God's staking. Ready, he will out him for us. We don't

  463. have to be the one. Oh no, I must stand here and be

  464. the one that shows people how it's done. I must here to prove to

  465. you you don't have to do anything. God is in control. While you

  466. take on that burden. Take on jesus burden. Jesus burden is like.

  467. Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he's thirsty,

  468. give him a drink, for in doing so you will hip coals or five

  469. of his head. How hard is it now to feed your enemy if you

  470. have unforgiveness, so hard, right, But if you have forgiveness, forgive

  471. ready should be quite easy. Right. Do not be overcome by evil,

  472. but overcome evil with good identity? Like a simple question, do you look

  473. like you're daddy, do you look like your father in heaven? We're his

  474. children, right, so we should look like him? Do we do we

  475. look like him? And finally, destiny, why do we need to move

  476. past a toll? Because God has a destiny for us. God has a

  477. plan for us. He doesn't want to get He don't He doesn't want us

  478. to get stuck in the toll. But sometimes we get stuck in the toll

  479. because of all these things. Right, you don't understand. If you don't

  480. understand redemption, you will know that Jesus die for your sins. You will

  481. continue living the same life if you understand redemption, but you will have unforgiveness

  482. in your heart. You're still bounded by your past. Right, And if

  483. let's say you forget, if and understand, you still need to know who

  484. is your identity? Who are you supposed to become? Do you look like

  485. a father in heaven? Or are you still living the same way we've been

  486. living? And once all this is done, hey is exciting, guys.

  487. Once you overcome, Oh is so exciting. It's so exciting. Once you're

  488. able to overcome you were really used to rfid properly, you won't get stuck

  489. anymore. It's like every single toller you will go through because every single time

  490. it works, isn't exciting? Isn't exciting? What is our purpose here on

  491. earth? We're asking all this question? What is our purpose on earth?

  492. What is our purpose here in this company? What is our purpose here in

  493. his family? What is our purpose in his community? And allow me to

  494. say this, what is your purpose in this church? If you're able to

  495. overcome all these things, you will discover your purpose because you are ready forgot

  496. to move in your life. You are ready to receive. You are ready

  497. and light. You're not bounded. Do you know that when you're bounded by

  498. chains, it's hard to move forward because there's stock. But once the change

  499. is broken, one says, no more baggage. Once everything is clear,

  500. you can move all in life. You'll be happier. You will be able

  501. to overcome. Amen. The sky is the limit. And do you know

  502. that God has a plan for you? I was writing that stay, I'm

  503. like, oh what should I put here? There? Realized hey, I

  504. actually preach a whole message on God has a planner. So you can go

  505. listen to the message on Spotify color. It's like to be continued in the

  506. prequel. You know, friends, we've got to be submitted to God,

  507. compelled by love, led by the spirit. It's a continuous thing and driven

  508. by purpose. John sixteen three says these things I've spoken to you that in

  509. me you may have peace. God wants us to a peace. Guys,

  510. is our life not having peace? Then you gotta check ready whether or not

  511. your RFID is working. Are you having no peace? Now? Please check

  512. your r f I D whether it's working. You know that you're reading or

  513. not. You gotta forgive or not? Do you know what it's your identity

  514. because after that destiny? Really sometimes in my life my r f I is

  515. not working that I would check U. Okay, am I far away from

  516. God? Do I have any unforgiveness in my life? Maybe some of the

  517. things I do. You know, I think I need to be better Allah,

  518. because I don't know why my father in heaven when I do thinks I

  519. is. You know, in the world, you will have tribulation. See

  520. even the Bible promisity. Guys, it's gonna be You're gonna it's gonna be

  521. challenges. Okay, that's going to be telling neighbor, that's gonna be challenges.

  522. Tell your other neighbor, but bey of cheer, because Christ has overcome

  523. the world. Amen, Christ has overcome the world. Today's uh. I

  524. like to have the Bible app because every day you you automatically have scripture they

  525. can read and like, oh, you know, And I realized that a

  526. lot of times to script the scripture speaks. And if you have the Bible

  527. app. Today's daily h scripture is second Coriintence, chapter child, verse ten.

  528. And and this is the thing I find very interesting about about the about

  529. the push and pull with us and God, because if I read this scripture,

  530. you would be a huh, what do you mean by that? It's

  531. very very very unlikely, because we all seek comfort, we all seek good

  532. things, we all and it's not wrong, our guys, it's not wrong.

  533. We all take pleasure. You're not having problems. None of us here

  534. like problems. But here it says, therefore, I take pleasure in informities,

  535. sickness, in reprocheest in needs, in persecutions or this guy is a

  536. series man. You mean you like being persecuted in distress or men? I

  537. don't understand. What do you like to be in distress? But not in

  538. any distress for Christ's sake. For when I'm weak, then I'm strong.
