  82. So could you tell me me to joinne up to

  83. fourteen Johnte up to fourteen, verse twenty five to twenty six.

  84. Chapter fourteen twenty five to twenty six. Right starts off

  85. with these things I've spoken to you while being present

  86. with Youew you know God already.

  87. Jesus is such.

  88. An amazing, amazing person God, whereby he understands human behavior.

  89. How many I understand what try to say? He understands

  90. what we go to. He understands our fears, our tears,

  91. what frightens us? Some of us here could be frightened

  92. with I don't know, you see a rat in your

  93. house running around in your kitchen.

  94. Instead of tackling the red, we run away, right. Uh.

  95. Some of us here are frightened by flying crockachias, not

  96. just any cockcachua on the floor and a flying crockachias.

  97. We see one, we run away or we scream right

  98. like there is no tomorrow.

  99. Like that.

  100. I have a friend of mine who does weight lifting, bodybuilding,

  101. huge size and stuff like that. Every time he sees

  102. the crocodch she comes, he jumps on the chair. He's afraid.

  103. He's afraid of the flying cock coachias and the cocachias

  104. that goes on the ground. I looked at him with

  105. it your a much bigger size than the cock coach.

  106. By one step on the cockach the crocach is date ready,

  107. and I demonstrated you. I just step on the cock

  108. coach with my bare feet here like you wash your

  109. feet love there. But he just relaxed, no problems. I say,

  110. your bigger size than that, And it frightens me because

  111. the flying cock coatures gives me that the fear.

  112. That letter on my shoulder and the top of the

  113. germs and stuff like that.

  114. So I don't know what triggers you, friends, but God

  115. understands and he knows. That's why when he starts off

  116. with this even worse twenty five Okay, these things I've

  117. spoken to you while being present with you. First, he

  118. under surfers of all he has to tackle our human behavior.

  119. There's one thing about reading a letter already receiving a text.

  120. Let's says, let's say, for example, a text say I

  121. love you.

  122. Okay, you get this goosebump feeling right, you get this

  123. nice hmmm feeling right. But it's very different when the

  124. other person stands in front of you with full emotion

  125. expressing his love or her love towards you.

  126. Those those are read, they think two or not.

  127. Extra nobody the owner, Tyrell, you know you understand what

  128. I'm trying to say, that that there is this feeling

  129. like someone's to reassure you. And that's why I want

  130. to let you know that although the Bible is it's

  131. in the book from but back then when it was

  132. presented to the disciples, Jesus was ministering to the person

  133. face to face to reassure the person.

  134. Hey, I'm going to go away for a short while.

  135. I'm going to go away because I'm at this place

  136. whereby I could obey my father in heaven, to be

  137. taken away, to be absent from a from what he

  138. normally does on the daily basis strikes fear because even

  139. though could you imagine right now coming to extra us

  140. for one whole year, you don't see pass the.

  141. Lawyer, yes, which yeah, this de clarate past the bit

  142. or not?

  143. And she just texts you all, remember come to church, okay,

  144. Remember I'll be with you all right and after a while,

  145. isn't it true? Isn't it true that, yeah, but you're

  146. not here with me? You understand you're not here? I

  147. mean tears right now. I can only write I'm crying,

  148. but I can't describe the mouth tishue I've used unless

  149. you see in front of me right and God wants

  150. it reminds you that He's present in the times whereby.

  151. I got to be away, the time whereby I got.

  152. To excuse myself from my normal time review all. Sometimes

  153. in our life we may not come were not realize

  154. how important is it really when we are with people

  155. and being present. And that's why I God was a

  156. minister to you friends, because many times in our life

  157. we think that we are alone in our situation. That's

  158. why I work twenty six comes. But the helper, hallelujah,

  159. the helper, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper, amen,

  160. a helper. The problem with this is that although he

  161. is declared the helper, many times in.

  162. Our life.

  163. We reject help, meaning to say that although the Holy

  164. Spirit wants to to to advise guy from you. It's

  165. like raised althoor can prompt can guy can show flashes

  166. of light, bring to remembrance the word, the scripture, the stirring.

  167. We have a choice rather to receive the help, to obey,

  168. to align to that direction, that purpose, that.

  169. Intuition, or to reject it.

  170. Just like I'm not sure how many of us here

  171. are totally sold out. When Google Map tells you to

  172. turn left, we turn left immediately, or we know slightly better,

  173. a shortcut whiche.

  174. Even Google don't even know we We don't.

  175. Have one hundred percent trust on what's being told to

  176. us from our small litter six screen, although it meanwhile

  177. to white traffic. Because every day you listen to you,

  178. but my life is every day you do not ways

  179. to go to work right, and no matter what traffic

  180. they tell you, you're always getting into your workplace in

  181. the German.

  182. Isn't it true? After a while your trust towards.

  183. That that that that thing gets eroded.

  184. You don't have one four hundred percent or killer. I know.

  185. I just want to see whether or not there is accident,

  186. because accidents can be avoided. But every other traffic. So

  187. the helpers, the Holy Spirit is a helper. I prayed

  188. this morning that you open your heart and recognize there

  189. is help. Amen, you open our hearts to say that

  190. there is help in my life. Therefore I am not alone.

  191. Therefore I am not in a situation whereby there is

  192. no more hope. There is only death in front of me.

  193. It is live so blik. Everything is so in chaos.

  194. It's at the moment the Holy space is here to.

  195. Help us all right.

  196. Whom the Father will said in my name, Here he'll

  197. teach you.

  198. Here he is.

  199. He will teach you in all things and bring to you,

  200. bring your remembers all things I sit to you. So

  201. the help of friends is not just to tell you

  202. what to do. Friends, It's going to help me to recall.

  203. It is bring to remembrance all that was taught. That's

  204. why Bible reading is so important. Friends. It is so

  205. important because if you don't remember what's there to recall.

  206. Think about it. You cannot recall something which you have

  207. never read. You'll never enter your heart or your mind.

  208. Even when you go for exam freend. You cannot recall

  209. a knowledge if you have never read that chapter.

  210. It's hard. So God, this one wants to remind us. Read.

  211. I think God's word helps the Holy Spirit. Hey, you

  212. remember you read this word about a couple of years ago,

  213. and not mean the full sentences because it will be America.

  214. The Holy Spirit reminds us of a full set of

  215. fool way, but summary of it brings. The remembrance helps

  216. you to understand in the situation, the very moment, what

  217. you need.

  218. He brings me. Do you remember all things I've said

  219. to you? Catch this worse? Twenty seven? Peace?

  220. I leave with you, friends, of all things God wants

  221. to remind us.

  222. When he left the Holy Spirit with us, there is peace.

  223. Come on, He's not just a helper whereby it doesn't

  224. add anything. This helper at peace into our life. It's

  225. so important friends. When to parties argue I pray one

  226. party we have the peace in their mind and their

  227. heart to come down and say, hold on, why are

  228. we shouting up for the past twenty minutes when you're

  229. in the tense team meeting friends. Isn't it true that

  230. the only way to get your point across is whoever

  231. shout the loudest, or whoever bang the table the hardest. Right,

  232. That's where it exerts the authority. The voice has this

  233. ability to like, guys, it is me, I'm going to

  234. take the course. I pray that in the midst of

  235. every tough and challenging situation, the peace of God is

  236. what we remember and what we have in those moments.

  237. Because if you're if you're a piece, isn't it true

  238. you can make decisions a bit better, right, a bit

  239. better in our life? Isn't it when when you get

  240. lexiphrames but God forbid that you Don't you ever experienced

  241. before a traffic accident, surrounded by everyone who will say

  242. want to throw.

  243. Your car right? And you need and the very moment right.

  244. You're just trying to wrest like, where on earth did

  245. I see the oncoming traffic?

  246. I didn't see it? Right?

  247. It appears from nowhere. Something happened to your car and

  248. to you, and you're there this at that very moment,

  249. thinking like, oh no, I'm surrounded by people asking you

  250. like I need you to do this, and you need

  251. the peace of God, and say, hang on for a moment.

  252. I need to able. I need to make a good

  253. decision right this very moment. So Jesus said, peace, I

  254. leave with you. My peace I give to you, not

  255. as the world gives.

  256. Hallelujah, the world offer a very.

  257. Different kind of peace. He does comes in a brochure form.

  258. You buy this property, you have peace and tranquility. Every

  259. time you go back from work, you experience this peace

  260. and tranquility. First, it does work. Maybe for the first

  261. couple of months you go back there. I think you

  262. bump your neighbor who doesn't take out the trash. That's

  263. how you imagine you take out the trash to be right.

  264. Then after that you you bump into different things with

  265. friends of neighbors, friends who doesn't who just like to

  266. put in front of your house, things that irks you. You understand,

  267. I'm trying to say, its drives you up the wall.

  268. Friends. The war gives you a cilic piece if you subscribe.

  269. To this plan, you experience peace as long as you

  270. subscribe to the plan.

  271. But even that peace is temporal, not everlasting. Jesus the same.

  272. Piece, I give to you my peace, my peace, he said,

  273. my piece, I give.

  274. Peace. I leave you my piece. I give to you,

  275. not as the world gives. And he wanted that.

  276. Therefore, after making a statement, he starts to minister, and

  277. to start to minister to his people. He says, let

  278. not your heart come on be troubled. Let not your

  279. heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid.

  280. God understands the heart of his creation. You think about it.

  281. For a woman, you're having a conversation with someone, and someone.

  282. Just say peace. I live with you, my peace I

  283. give to you first.

  284. Thing that comes up to your mind. Isn't it true

  285. that why you talk about piece? Is it in the

  286. coming days whereby situation is going to rob me of

  287. my peace?

  288. Is it it true?

  289. What all of sudden you bring up of all the

  290. topics that Jesus, Jesus I brought that you know I

  291. live in the Holy Spirit. He'll get you to prosperity.

  292. Think about it. He used the word piece, and therefore

  293. he understands when you touch peace. He knows people's minds

  294. are fast forwarding a few years ahead.

  295. Isn't it true that coming days whereby situations can rob

  296. me or my peace? What is it going to come?

  297. Is the war that's coming?

  298. Inflation rate next is going to go up, medical insurance

  299. is going to premient is going to go up by drastically,

  300. you are, our minds is being transported ahead of us,

  301. and we start to worry and start to doubt, and

  302. start to the word is put ourselves to the situation.

  303. And God wants to minister this morning. He understands the

  304. heart of his creation, what triggers and what causes to

  305. be troubled and to be worried. He knows every one

  306. of us here got triggered by different thingations. So whatever

  307. that coused me unrest, and you know, trouble in my

  308. heart could be very different from Puss Gloria, so very.

  309. It's it's not the same, same but not the same.

  310. We run the same.

  311. Try and say some of us, he don't like traffic

  312. jam the moment you hear the traffic jam, No pieces

  313. stressed over our face is written and stuff like that

  314. for some of us part part of life. We just

  315. go threugh like no problema, half an hour in the car,

  316. can listen to radio, can listen to so many things,

  317. can watch one YouTube channel.

  318. Right, it's it's.

  319. It's not a problem for some, but it's a problem

  320. for some. So God understand. The question is that do

  321. we know the trigger points in our lives that robs

  322. us of that piece? Do we know that the cause

  323. that that troubles are hot the whole night where we

  324. can't sleep.

  325. Doing church?

  326. It's that way easy. The challenges of the people and

  327. this stuff like that. There's a couple of months ago

  328. we set up with a couple and you know, not

  329. doing very well. Friends are doing very well. Argument here

  330. and there. Husband in the midst of the anger raised

  331. his hand and hit her on the shoulder, and this

  332. stuff like that, and me and my wife were just ministering.

  333. I'm just encouraging the couple. Hey, look, you know I

  334. understand that that that that that every day we go

  335. through stress and stress gets the better of us.

  336. Pressure get the better of us.

  337. But if we don't overcome this and we let trouble

  338. pressure rule our hearts, it will dictate our actions, It

  339. dictates how we leave, and how we hand the situation,

  340. how we hand the family, and see if we don't know,

  341. if we don't learn how to overcome the trouble, that

  342. that robs us of our peace weapons, that this situation

  343. or the trouble will hijack our emotions, our top process

  344. and bring us to a place whereby we don't even

  345. want to go to and we regret our action later.

  346. The word is that we will come to the placeure.

  347. But like, this is not even me.

  348. You're a nice guy, nice girl, amazing person. Every amazing

  349. person goes through the furnace of pressure. Come on, furnace

  350. of pressure, right in life. It's called life. Go to

  351. the furnace of pressure of life. Friends, what comes out

  352. of it? How we respond to the pressure is really key.

  353. So Jesus is reminding you today let not your heart

  354. be troubled, because at times when we are in.

  355. Trouble, friends, it erupts us.

  356. So John sixteen, Worst of the Tree, John sixteen words

  357. the tree says that these things I've spoken to you,

  358. these things I've spoken to you that in me you

  359. may have peace. Come on, in who, in Me, in God,

  360. in Jesus, you will have peace. It's such again, friends,

  361. God say in me, you just have prosperity, because God

  362. knows no matter what we have on the external, while

  363. it's good and nice, does one hundred percent and.

  364. Give us peace? Because peace is.

  365. An internal feeling, internal experience. You can't have the nicest

  366. pillow you could ever find, right, friends, and said, okay,

  367. I'm not talking about the most expensive.

  368. Fill pillow that that you like, seince.

  369. Maybe the day you born and got all the slaver

  370. stain that that brings you comfort, that gives you peace.

  371. That every stain on the pillow that you smell right

  372. gives you that the warmness of the home.

  373. I understand, But you go.

  374. I know some people who bring that pillow wherever they go,

  375. for every church camp, for every outdate, because it brings comfort.

  376. The moment the pillows up with them. They can't sleep

  377. at peace because this pillow is so hot.

  378. But everyone else in the hotel rooms, who are the pillow?

  379. He's so nice, so shot right, so in this day

  380. that you may have peace.

  381. So therefore, friends, piece is the internal experience. God knows. Friends,

  382. Where does where does I would say, undress happens in

  383. our hearts? Where does trouble firm in our mind before

  384. anything else.

  385. So Bible says it.

  386. In me you have peace right, but in the world

  387. you have tribulation, one transition, puday, you have trials. I'm

  388. not sure how many of us here will ever claim

  389. the scripture they say, God, thank you so much for

  390. the trials and tribulation, Because you know, trials and tribulation,

  391. we won't experience peace.

  392. Think about it.

  393. God understands because of the sinful nature of men. I'm

  394. not talking about just you know, even people. I'm just

  395. talking about the way human behavior.

  396. Understands.

  397. We are not perfect because you're not perfect. Decision made,

  398. how nations are being governed, it's not perfect. And because

  399. of everything else like that, He knows what robs us

  400. of our peace.

  401. Friends, don't let's not take it too far to the government.

  402. For our own self.

  403. Some of us here, our greatest challenge is putting our house.

  404. In order, for example, tidying up our room. H do

  405. say that.

  406. Tidying up our room is a challenge. Some of us

  407. high under this, guys of organized mess.

  408. It's called because in.

  409. The mess, you know where your stuff are being put,

  410. even though other people may not understand. And we wake

  411. up on the daily basis. Friends trouble and worry. Say

  412. one day I'll get to do it, but the one

  413. day hardly comes by, and we go by. Maybe I'm

  414. motivated today and therefore I do it, and maybe I'm

  415. not so motivated today. We go to daily challenges. I'm

  416. not even talking about cleaning room. You just waking up

  417. on time.

  418. S say it.

  419. Keeps saying so true, wake up on time, We up

  420. on time. Friends, The challenge is now with the mattress

  421. or the pillow, or the air con or the fan. Right,

  422. remove all that comes with our attitude. God understands it

  423. in me. You have people in this world. You have trials, attribulation,

  424. he adds up. But be of good cheer. In the

  425. midst of that challenge that trials, friends, God speaks in

  426. a way that's opposite the world. Hey, you're going to trials,

  427. You're going to challenges, but be of good cheer. See this,

  428. be of good cheer. He says, I, Jesus have overcome

  429. the world. Jesus, don't say be of good cheir. You

  430. have overcome or you will be overcoming. He says I.

  431. But if you're hearing this right, you go like you.

  432. I know you are Jesus the DeFore you can overcome me?

  433. And God wants to remind us this morning again really

  434. reminds us because we believe in Jesus. If he has

  435. overcome it, we will overcome as well. You need to

  436. understand to come to a place by God. Whatever you

  437. have overcome, I can overcome the same spirit as with Jesus.

  438. That's not the Holy Spirit is not the Holy Spirit

  439. given to us. It's not a second class spirit. Can

  440. just see it loosely in geology. It's not a second

  441. class spirit. Whereby this is you know, don't remember my

  442. second class? You know, it has everything except it's like

  443. between the economy class on the plane and the business class.

  444. You go to the same destination, except is a bit smaller,

  445. your food is a bit different service slightly almost the same.

  446. They will still serve you with whoever they asked to serve.

  447. Holy Spirit is not a second class economy class with

  448. your friends. It's the same class as Jesus. So it

  449. says that be of good chef overcome the world. So

  450. the question here is is that the Bible says that

  451. in the world that you have trials and tribulation overcome

  452. the world.

  453. Do we know what robs our peace?

  454. Come on, do we know what robs us from a

  455. good night rest? Do we know what troubles our heart?

  456. Because if you know what robs you, you can pray

  457. about it. Think about if you know what troubles your heart,

  458. you can raise it.

  459. Up in philippis of the form.

  460. I'm gonna get to that later because many times we

  461. go with a generous statement, you know, I can't, I can't.

  462. I got no peace. But what is the cause? What

  463. is the cause that causing you to have no peace?

  464. Because many times we make a very generous human for example,

  465. because I deal with a lot of church stuff. So

  466. let me take church examples. They will come a step

  467. whever we've got people coming up to or saying the statement,

  468. you know, elder.

  469. They are angry with you. Who is they? Is it

  470. a person called Day? Who is it? So when the

  471. more we boy down and ask.

  472. And I try to understand the situation, the more we

  473. found out it's actually one person.

  474. But many times we put they are angry with you,

  475. and we live true.

  476. Life making poor decision action steps because we listen today,

  477. they say you're the Messiah, they say you're Elijah, they

  478. say you're Moses.

  479. But who do you say that I am?

  480. And I's going to uperate what they say. I pray

  481. that you have an inside who they are. Right, So

  482. here we go. The piece of God is a gift

  483. of God. Come on, is it true? Can we can

  484. we agree on this? The piece of God is a

  485. gift of God.

  486. Right. But with every gift you have.

  487. A choice whether you want to take it and receive

  488. it and open it and experience it and use it,

  489. or reject it. Appoint the chef hoping to give you

  490. to someone else in the future.

  491. If you've graduated, you came up to the working world.

  492. You have Christmas lunch and horrible and it is sometimes

  493. there is staff.

  494. Give exchange, staff give exchange? How working here?

  495. Look for for staff give exchange the most funniest.

  496. And put it nicely. Uh uh. I was used the

  497. word useless lab but everything got use it the most

  498. toddless meaningless. Right.

  499. The give minimum supposed to tready ring gite like you

  500. can get a lots of with trading. Right. We said,

  501. y is the greatest place to shot for stuff with exchange.

  502. So there was a brother that gave just to meet

  503. treading ring gear.

  504. One a four rim of paper, A four not seventy

  505. grad but eighty grams, eighty grabs and you know shot

  506. by five ring to make Trady ring it. So decide

  507. the top up that a four paper by buy one

  508. packet of.

  509. Rubber bands.

  510. Not small, it's a huge, big packet of rubber bands,

  511. the yellow color one, the small one you top out.

  512. I remember the staff opens up, the give looks again

  513. were the laugh of the cry. If this gift was

  514. given in the eighties and you receive it with great

  515. job because you know, finally you got you got a

  516. four paper means you got printed in the house, we

  517. should we say, you're wow. But these days you get

  518. a four, people go like, when was the last time

  519. you buy a four paper? Besides comming college? Hardly right

  520. hotly anyway, But what about rubber bands? Rubber beds, a

  521. yellow color one. If you're born in the seventies, and

  522. you're and you went to school in the eighties, you

  523. mix skipping rope. When I shed this message in Manchester

  524. Plant they looked at me, Oh, the how do you

  525. mix skipping rope out from rubber bands? These are like

  526. the fifth these are this other the much younger fifteen,

  527. sixteen and seventies. I said, you mean your school don't

  528. have skipping. I remember like we have skipping rope rubber beards.

  529. Back then it was so cool. The only the enjoyment

  530. and during recess time.

  531. But the moment we get the give and somethings.

  532. You look at this person, you got I know what

  533. can't gift is gonna give to me? I know what

  534. kind of gift is gonna give to me? So last

  535. year I decided to to to to gest all my

  536. stuff give exchange. I used to buy horrible stuff. One point,

  537. I'd say enough radio. I think I think a shish

  538. that the way all right? I think last year I

  539. gave uh one cartogel of shin ra men and together

  540. with you know, and so my aim was to make

  541. like eightyving Gilf of magging me on instnuders. Just the

  542. opening that was a fun just eat. I think what

  543. I gave uh. I want to buy gas storm when

  544. you know guest them give guests strom as a stuff

  545. give exchange because all my my colleagues about the cook

  546. and stuff that because you know how much a guest

  547. strong is, isn't it?

  548. It's not cheap? Right?

  549. But the opening give guests strom, I got to carry

  550. it to my car, get it back to my house.

  551. So I give what of rice? Jeopardese Jeopardese Rice. It's it's, it's, it's, it's.

  552. It's just one of those like wreckad crazy gift.

  553. But the question here is this that do you know

  554. what give the God give to you? Come on, even

  555. though the piece of God, the piece of God is

  556. a gift of God, do we know the gift not?

  557. Or have you missed the first of all?

  558. If we get a giver, they have now opened it

  559. a couple of this episode.

  560. You say, this giver, I'm.

  561. Gonna keep it for next ye give actually chase a

  562. rapper maybe and give it away?

  563. Right? Number one?

  564. Number two is that this give is okayla okayla gift Okay,

  565. you know we.

  566. See okaya gift before? Right? Just all right? And what happens?

  567. You open it up?

  568. Ok Maybe one day I'll use it. But you put

  569. it in some cupboards, some shelves somewhere. You don't even

  570. know where it is it right now because it's in

  571. one cupboard maybe up there. The word is that you

  572. hardly use that text Section one right it happens. Number

  573. three is a gift that you always wanted. Come on

  574. and you take it out immediately. I remember one time

  575. someone told me the rapper is so give.

  576. Rapper is a gifer. I got to pray for extra

  577. as if rappers to give.

  578. This this then put another rapper upon the rapper. I

  579. used to wrap stuff your hord. My wife said, can

  580. you rep properly?

  581. I used to use.

  582. Newspaper to wrap, you know, and stuff like that. Plassy,

  583. but I buy that. Let's I buy the thing for nic,

  584. cut out the plus use it as a rapper, right Recyclement.

  585. I took recycling to the next level. Okay, but anyway,

  586. So the give you always wanted to, here's it. Piece

  587. I live in you. The piece of God, the piece

  588. that that God gives friends cannot be earned.

  589. Think about that. It's not like you earn like faithful stuff.

  590. Never take.

  591. Leave for so many years though long service award. Therefore

  592. the piece of God comes to you. So the piece

  593. of God is not a gift from God long service

  594. award GIF After five years you earn the piece of

  595. God one of those men that you earned from the

  596. computer game.

  597. It is not.

  598. You can only get it by grace, by believing. Friends

  599. God's give is the readier the questions that do we

  600. believe that we have this peace?

  601. His gift is perfect?

  602. Come on, peace, I leave you my piece I give

  603. to you, so therefore his peace is perfect. Number one,

  604. The piece of God is a gift. So this gift

  605. cannot be earned. It's not that you become best friend

  606. with Jesus. I give you a special gift. You're fou

  607. A give you a lesser gift. The piece of God,

  608. it's forever who believes, and He's given it's perfect. In

  609. other words, you don't need any addition or upgrade or

  610. version two point zero. Many times in our life we

  611. think that, okay, I got God's peace, But why am

  612. I still feeling this way? Why am I still feeling like,

  613. oh my mind is troubled, my heart is heavy? Why

  614. am I still going through the motion whereby life, I'm

  615. soorry for next year? And this is the type of

  616. whereby we have to re examine our own hearts and mind.

  617. Because if He's given, it's perfect, therefore it's us. Therefore

  618. we need to re look at our own hearts, what's

  619. occupying our hearts, what's.

  620. Really the cause?

  621. The trigger point because many times we don't identify. We

  622. don't identify with it. You know, it writes you really

  623. and they have to day what Jesus have done.

  624. You know.

  625. The Bible says his give is perfect right. So ultimately

  626. his greatest gift is dying on the cross for you

  627. and for me. He's perfect. He's a perfect sacrifice for us.

  628. The salvation, the promise to be a reconciled back to God.

  629. There is his his greatest gift ever give to mankind.

  630. The Bible says Isaiah chapter nine, verse six. For Antois,

  631. the child is born, and to us a son is given,

  632. and the government shall be upon his shoulder. His name

  633. shall be called wonderful counselor Mighty God, ever lasting Father.

  634. And Prince of peace.

  635. So the title hole is are very profound significant friends.

  636. It's it is not just another title given. Not that title, friends,

  637. is a prince of peace. And it reminds us that

  638. Jesus is a source of our inner peace.

  639. And I pray that today that you open the house. God.

  640. I need this.

  641. I need this when I leave this place afterwards and

  642. get to my car, get back home, might go to work.

  643. I need this inner peace.

  644. I need this when I face my greatest challenge at

  645. the workplace, when I have to deal with my children,

  646. I need these friends.

  647. So Jesus is the.

  648. Source of ether, peace, providing peace with God and forgiveness

  649. of sin. Come on, forgiveness of sin, such an important

  650. thing that we tend to forget as believers. Some training

  651. nine verse eleven. The Lord will give strength to his people. Imen,

  652. the Lord will bless this people with peace. Therefore, if

  653. you have the peace of God is a blessing. If

  654. you have the peace of God in your heart, it

  655. is a blessing. Friends, I pray that this morning that

  656. you will open up your heart and just say God,

  657. I need this.

  658. It can only be a chief by believing in God.

  659. John chapter in verse one, am I speaking to us?

  660. Joint up the fourteen verse one A right.

  661. It says, let not your heart be troubled.

  662. You believe in God, believe also in me. Here again,

  663. let not your heart be troubled. I think many times

  664. in our life, in our situation, we our hearts.

  665. Like an like a field that we allow weeds to

  666. grow on. Our hearts is like.

  667. A place whereby anybody can have free reign. So when

  668. Jesus say that let not your heart be troubled. I

  669. think many times we actually can forget that we have

  670. a heart that we need to God. I'm not asking

  671. us to be immune to problems. I'm not asking us

  672. to deny anything to God understands That's why I say it.

  673. He understands trouble, does rob ers On. He understands that

  674. if you go, if you put your hand in hot water,

  675. you experience the pain of putting your hand in super

  676. hot water. Right. The question here is this is not

  677. about avoiding the hot water. If we can whide, we

  678. will a wide because why do we leave our hand

  679. in hot water for the very long time and cook

  680. our skin? My wife knows I love super hot water

  681. the way you can come out often ring color, and

  682. I love I love hot water sometimes I do.

  683. I do. I love super cold water as well. I

  684. see cold water. I do that. The difference Actually say,

  685. why do you touch to yourself this way?

  686. I say, no, I like it. But even though I

  687. like it, I'm bringing this scenario to earth. But sometimes

  688. you allow yourself to be in the situation for a

  689. longer time than we should.

  690. Come on for a longer time than.

  691. We should Stuff that we're supposed to deal with we

  692. don't deal with stuff they're supposed to.

  693. Let's say, for example, we need to let go, we

  694. don't let go.

  695. And when we move for one place or another place,

  696. it follows us. And that's why sometimes why there is

  697. no big truth. Because the Bible says, let not your

  698. heart be trouble. But even though we know this scripture,

  699. but we have been letting our heart be troubled. We

  700. are allowing things in our life to trouble us. If

  701. we know past Cane in his journey of his life

  702. and stuff like growing up there with that was parents,

  703. no sister taking, taking their own life and training where

  704. so drinking a we killer that was you know that

  705. was on drugs for for a very long time. Yet

  706. all this external pressure, also thought us before, won't get

  707. to you if you don't allow it to get to you.

  708. You can come up from abusive family background, but that

  709. doesn't define who you are. Let now your heart be trouble, said, Yes,

  710. he recognized that you are in the situation. But even

  711. though that you are in the storm, the storm can't

  712. tact you if you don't allow it to. Yes, you

  713. may be wet because of the storm.

  714. You may you be preasured, but.

  715. As long as you don't allow it to get to you.

  716. And Jesus say that you believe in God that he

  717. also had this like, also believe in me? Think about

  718. that you believe in God, also believe in me. This

  719. is how I'm gonna sort of bring this message to

  720. until end. Always believe in God. We do, we do,

  721. we do believe right. The question here is is that

  722. we also need to believe in Christ, what he has

  723. done for us, what he asked us to do. Jesus

  724. said that I'm the way, the truth, and the life right.

  725. But many times we just want the life. And that's why.

  726. Isn't it true that every human being is very attractive

  727. to a cudden.

  728. Life style life style.

  729. For you to get to that life style, you know

  730. the way, and I pray that the way is true

  731. for us.

  732. Come on, I pray that the way is true for

  733. you in your life as well.

  734. That we don't just believe on a Sunday, but after

  735. here we go back without having a change in our hearts.

  736. I pray that we believe in just say God, I

  737. want more, all right? So this is how I'm going

  738. to end with this h Female scriptures right, sorry, Philippis

  739. Chapter four ward six. Okay, Philippis chapter four Wards six,

  740. Philippians Chapter four worse six. You know this scripture, It

  741. says be anxious for nothing, all right? He says, be

  742. anxious for nothing, but in everything, by by prayer and supplication.

  743. Come on, be anxious for nothing but by but in everything,

  744. by by prayer and supplication. First of all, friends, worry

  745. is a preoccupation of things that causes stress, anxiety, and pressure.

  746. God understands numb one. He answers where the anxiousness come from?

  747. When he understands, that's what he knows. You know, if

  748. God did understand human being, our friends, he will not

  749. add this likeness is but everything, think about it in everything.

  750. So in other words, stress, what stressed me out could

  751. be very different from what stressed shillings out for her.

  752. Maybe she's thinking about where to eat for lunch afterwards.

  753. So true, right, I know when you see Shelley, she

  754. is always thinking about the best place to eat. Right,

  755. what stressed mel could be very different. Like I pray

  756. that will not put on weight, thank you? Right, So

  757. the Bible says saying everything, come on bye.

  758. By prayer and.

  759. Supplication, everything can be tackled by prayer. Friends, everything can

  760. be tackled by prayer.

  761. Come on, That's.

  762. Why I started up with the scripture said, if you

  763. believe in God, also believe in Me. When Jesus also

  764. believe in me, you have to trust and believe that

  765. in Everything can be.

  766. Takened by prayer and supplication.

  767. And one transition put it as definite requests. Many times

  768. we pray for things in our life. We do, we

  769. do pay for things. We do pray for situations and things.

  770. But many times even in our prayer life, we are not.

  771. We are not detailed enough.

  772. We are not so one transition put its definite requests.

  773. Not wake lay request. We may not to God.

  774. Right verse seven, the piece of God, friends, and the

  775. peace of God. After you prayed, after you surrendered, after

  776. you ask God your petition God, after you you were

  777. detailing your requests and the peace of God. Come on,

  778. we surpass us all understanding. This is how I'm going

  779. to end the peace of God. Friends, in our life.

  780. We'll provide your answers away out that may not seem

  781. the natural way, may not be your normal natural way

  782. of how we do things. If someone wrong you before

  783. in your life, maybe God would have asked you a

  784. problem in your heart. Be the bigger person. Kind, have

  785. the person and say sorry first. But God, you don't

  786. understand I'm the victim. Here be the bigger man. My

  787. grace is sufficient for you. Be generous like the wido.

  788. It is not about the two couple coins that all

  789. that she has. But you know in all that we

  790. have within our life without time, be generous with that

  791. the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

  792. Friends.

  793. It always it is not your normal way of how

  794. we live our life, how we respond to the situation.

  795. And God was minders this morning that my ways are

  796. not your waists, My thoughts are not your thoughts. He

  797. says that this and this piece will also God your

  798. heart here is of all, this piece will also got

  799. your heart.

  800. Post the forwards to the traces.

  801. God your heart with all diligions, and sometimes we just

  802. got a heart with the external. God this morning wants

  803. to remind us again you can get it on the external,

  804. yet the internally. Sometimes you do not want to eat

  805. with me. We are fasting. On the day you happen

  806. to walk past a very nice fried chicken stare and.

  807. You know what they always get you. It's not just

  808. the looks, but the smell. The smell.

  809. You can you can run away from the that the

  810. fra chicken store, but the smell still lingers in your

  811. mind because it the word. It catches that the part

  812. where by it bakes you to a memory. Hopefully, this

  813. is not make you're hungry. It ties you to that

  814. even though you're no longer near the physical shop, but

  815. your mind is drifting towards that thing.

  816. That's why Jesus.

  817. Say that the peace of God will God your heart,

  818. because most time it's internal. You can run away from

  819. external situation, but internally you're carrying it with you wherever

  820. we go.

  821. It says that this piece of God your heart and

  822. your mind. Come on, don't let your heart be troubled.

  823. He's reminding us again this morning that my peace will

  824. got your heart and mind to Christ Jesus, as I

  825. close friends. Verse nine Philip, the four worst nine is

  826. my closing. The things we should have learned, received and heard.

  827. Come on, the things you have learned, receive and heard.

  828. What you have learned today, what you receive today, what

  829. you heard today and saw in me. This do and

  830. the piece of God's peace will be with you many

  831. times we want the piece of God, but we think

  832. it's so hard to achieve as a close even as

  833. as us ever to come up. I got to go

  834. soon otherwise Actually life will not like me. But I

  835. want to end rather this part of my sharing with

  836. with with really encouraging you all that in life. In life,

  837. there's so many challenges. One day you wake up with

  838. a body ache as.

  839. You issue just hits you like You're like, like, wow,

  840. of those thing where we're much younger.

  841. All we think about is like when I'm gonna get

  842. more money to get cer things? All right, this different thing,

  843. different stages of life. You wake up internally or right

  844. internally alsod, you've got this ache and that ache and

  845. pain and that pain and the lot was remind us again,

  846. friends that our life is really in his hands. He

  847. wants reminding our life is really in his hands. I

  848. think many times a lot of these ropters from our peace,

  849. our inner peace, you know, future, and this stuff like that.

  850. I was hearing one preacher, not the most charismatic.

  851. He's just sharing. You know. I used to passor a church.

  852. Now I couldn't pass it anymore because in the midst

  853. of pastoring the church, he lost his hearing. He couldn't

  854. hear properly anymore. So the only way to communicate to

  855. him is to shout very loud that he has started

  856. off his preaching by his teaching the day by just sharing.

  857. Guys.

  858. I'm so sorry if I sound like I'm shouting, because

  859. I really cannot hear, so I'm constantly shouting. He was

  860. sharing about his being him being a grandfather. The title

  861. of his message was how do you disciple your grandchildren?

  862. I don't know why I click.

  863. On it because I don't really cheer on my own,

  864. but maybe because at the think fifty but how do

  865. you disciple your grandchildren? And talking about about parents and

  866. stuff like that and what to do as a grandfather.

  867. I was just thinking about church in January and stuff

  868. like that.

  869. I get to see people of different ages in my

  870. DIFFERENTIP in the DIFFERENTIP plan. Sometimes I ask the Lord, Lord,

  871. if you're no longer around.

  872. With It's not just asks, but people still follow the Lord.

  873. Not just about following a church of friends, but people

  874. still follow the Lord. Crowd to you depend on you,

  875. not not to beconstant sway to the left or to

  876. the right, but really to be anchored into you. To

  877. now do, to call upon you, to depend on you.

  878. The church has taught me so many things. Fundraising, you know,

  879. doing the church back then when we were very small,

  880. we didn't come out from a from a big brand.

  881. We just God say started the church and we just

  882. obeyed went through. None of us went to a Bible school.

  883. We just say, God, you are our teacher, You just

  884. teachers for every mistake, we just asked for forgiveness, I'm

  885. sorry and just say.

  886. That give us a grace to walk through it.

  887. If we never once imagine where we'll start extra us

  888. or we just thought was God, if we can use anyone,

  889. you can use us, and stuff like that.

  890. Was just a very.

  891. Simple prayer and just believing, how would your life look

  892. like differently if you put your trust and just surrender.

  893. Peace. I give to you my peace. I live with you.

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