God bless you, Oh only welcome to the 22 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.239 presence of God. And we will continue with our discourses 23 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:06.439 on how we can bring order to our conversation. Amen, 24 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.360 what we've been trying to do, get a diagnosis of 25 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.879 our problem if we even admit or confess that there 26 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.159 is a problem with our conversations. Because admittedly, if you 27 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.639 don't see any problem with the way you talk, the 28 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.879 way you communicate with your conversations with other people, then 29 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.400 there's only be a problem taking the even like the 30 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.960 pills or the bitter pills or remedies that are needed 31 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:41.159 to fix us. And that's the conundrume of many a believer. 32 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.719 And as far as I'm consented and my understanding of 33 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.759 of the scriptures, if there's no problem, then we don't 34 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.199 even need to get on again in the first place. 35 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.280 Because the remedies that are going to be applied, you know, 36 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.800 to fix us, they are supernatural remedies. If you can't 37 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.759 fix yourself, then go ahead and fix yourself. But you 38 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.560 can't fix yourself. And that is why for you and 39 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.120 I who are humble enough to admit that we can't 40 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.280 fix ourselves, so we come back to our creator and 41 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.120 our God who created us, whose innovative products we are, 42 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.520 so that he can fix us. Amen, Because without him 43 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.639 coming in on site, there's not going to be the 44 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.120 application of the necessary remedies that can fix us. And 45 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:39.639 it's say, and God desires to fix us holistically. Amen. 46 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.439 So God is not going to fix our conversations and 47 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.680 this month and then maybe next year before fixing another 48 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.159 part of the deranged men that we recognize. I hope 49 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.280 you get it. The application of the medicines by God. 50 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:01.319 They are for holistic fixing of the deranged mind. Amen. 51 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:07.080 Every aspect of our being needs affectioning. And you and 52 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:11.400 I who have come to God at a point in time, 53 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.399 we assessed our lives and then admitted that there is 54 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.160 a problem. Amen. So I'm just trying to see how 55 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.959 best we can get it in simple terms so that 56 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.720 we can wrap our minds around it and then go 57 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.399 for the cures that God has prescribed in this way, 58 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.199 so bringing order into our conversations. Point number one, is 59 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.680 there anything wrong you as we sit here? Is there 60 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.519 anything wrong with your conversation? Because if there's nothing wrong, 61 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.439 then I'm afraid you're not going to do anything. Amen. 62 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.800 And a lot of us in church, and this is 63 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.600 in church, everybody everybody says their bonny again because it's 64 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.480 only and again people who should be in church. But 65 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.560 that's very simplistic, because that is not it. You know. 66 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.879 So a lot of us are in church, but then 67 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.439 we don't think that there's anything wrong with us. We 68 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:20.079 have not done that self evaluation. You know. We we 69 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:25.519 we we we look around. That's the problem. We are 70 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.839 looking around. So sometimes we look around and then look 71 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:34.079 at even our pastors or our leaders, and then we 72 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.199 put them on our scale, on scale of Jackman's say, 73 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.360 it's no better than me. I'm just like him, you know, yes, 74 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.120 and all the other vices that sometimes we look out 75 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.399 for in order to say that this person is not 76 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.560 truly born again. Their leaders are pastors, they are doing it, 77 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.920 you know. So that's that's the conundroom. Know, many of us, 78 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.240 I grew up in churches and congregations said where nothing 79 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.680 is being done. The old man is accepted, you said, 80 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.879 the sayner's prayer. God has done it. Just continue living 81 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.040 your life and then when Jesus comes again, we will look. 82 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.879 We will look, we will look at what is going 83 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.279 to happen, you know. But then God, I'm afraid the 84 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.199 Bible story is so clear that God is not going 85 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.040 to be judging us on a collective basis. He's not 86 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.319 going to lump the church and see how this chapel 87 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.199 who might has said, come, no, it's going to call 88 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.399 us individuals. I don't know whether it's going to use 89 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:50.800 alphabetic order, you know, but the judgment day is going 90 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.920 to be individuals, you know. So let us not be 91 00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:01.480 looking out how some other spiritually much sure, we are 92 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.160 the ones doing the evaluation, and we are the ones 93 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.000 targeting ourselves that this person is spiritually mature. You know, 94 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.480 this person as this title, this person should be closer 95 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.319 to God, the way he prays when he's leading the prayer. 96 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.680 If there's anybody who's close to God, he should be 97 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.160 the number one person. And this is how he communicates. 98 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.279 And so when I look at me, I always lay 99 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:35.279 my conversations with please and I'm sorry and all that, 100 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.600 you know, so I should be better off. And therefore, 101 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.680 and by the standards that I am using, I don't 102 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.199 have a problem with my speech, with my conversation, indeed 103 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.600 with my behavior in the Kingdom of God, there's nothing wrong, 104 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:58.319 you know. So anything wrong the self evaluation. And I'm 105 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.600 afraid you see that the problem too is that the 106 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.759 self evaluation it can be tilted towards bias, as I'm saying, amen, 107 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:14.399 But a proper self evaluation cannot ignore the authority of 108 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.279 the word of God. Am I coming through with this one? 109 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.519 So that even our self evaluation of ourselves, it has 110 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.240 to be based on the authority of the web of God. 111 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.000 You know. So the problem now is that if that 112 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:33.000 initial evaluation God has made it clear, abandoned the claar, 113 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.960 all have sinned and have short falling short of the 114 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.720 standards of God. And he says that even a wah 115 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.679 righteous deeds, they are as filthy rats before him. Do 116 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.200 we agree to this universal charge of guilt before God? 117 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.320 Because that is the key, initial, key step that is 118 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.399 going to bring if you like, the Holy Spirit coming 119 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.679 in to take center state. When we admit that I 120 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.720 have the problem, I can't fix myself. I must invite 121 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:12.399 the Holy Spirit, just as they say the child is universal. 122 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.879 All men have sain, all men need fixing. How by 123 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.440 admitting that there's something wrong with me, by accepting the 124 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.240 pardon that God is offered based on the merits of 125 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.080 the death of Jesus Christ on the crow. He died 126 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.639 for us, so that those who live shall no longer 127 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.039 live onto themselves, but onto Him that die for them. 128 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.879 You're not going to be able to understand and appreciate 129 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.360 some of these scriptures when the Holy Spirit is not there. 130 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:47.720 So that initia step is so key, this universal child. 131 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.960 Are you a sinner where you born as sinner at 132 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.879 the poor at the core of your hearts? And like 133 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.720 we said, what defines us is our fault life? Can 134 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.879 we evaluate our thought life in the and I agree 135 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.720 that I agree with God my thought life it is 136 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.120 all you know, as the Bible will say later on, 137 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.639 it is all yeared towards saying and wrongdoing and rebellion 138 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:21.679 and all that. Amen, Halen Louiah. So once we agree 139 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.559 with that initial one and we say God, I need fixing, 140 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.720 and the Holy Spirit comes in now as you am 141 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.120 back as you agree and them back on the new project. 142 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.000 Now the Holy Spirit is going to take you to 143 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.799 Should I use the word to the nooks and crannies 144 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.120 of your life and bring out a lot more cap 145 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:46.720 webs that needs fixing, all the other areas that needs fixing, 146 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.399 so that there's the image of God, the likeness of 147 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:55.320 God can begin to best forth out of our lives. 148 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.639 I I hope you are getting it, Amen. So we 149 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.879 are trying to get to the bottom of whye. Sometimes 150 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.919 we find people in church, let me use the word 151 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:10.440 their initial profession of it was sincere and tending, but 152 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.960 then afterwards that's it. Nothing is happening today. And the 153 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.159 divisions that we are having in church, Amen, it's all 154 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:25.080 from the conversation, the disagreements, the scattering of the church, 155 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.399 the cliches that we form and all that. But sometimes 156 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.960 we want to agree that sometimes most of these people 157 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.679 and they are born again, and that's what defines the 158 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.879 kind of Christian. They are not admitting that there's something 159 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.519 thoroughly wrong with me and that God has promised that 160 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.720 He will fix me, and I must am back on 161 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.799 the new Man project. Like we said, the Book of 162 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.000 Collosians is all is telling us put off and put 163 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.559 on by a lot of us. We are not putting off, 164 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:02.120 we are not ready to put off. Amen. And it's 165 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.679 not helping our congregation. It's not helping you know God. 166 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.720 For God to see a healthy church or in a 167 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.919 healthy church consists of healthy individuals so that the power 168 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.600 of God can explode in our mess. And I'm saying 169 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:22.159 that it is all because sometimes the self evaluation that 170 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.759 we do, the chaistic that we do, it's not right 171 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:31.120 we compare ourselves to leaders this other at bishop, this 172 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:36.039 other bishop, this other title believer, this other one that 173 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:40.799 working and Mira clod and working believer, you know, without 174 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.200 resorting once again to the authority of the word of God. Amen. 175 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.559 And that is why we are evaluating ourselves on the 176 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.360 wrong scale. Amen. So how we're going to be able 177 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.000 to evaluate ourselves on the right scale and that one 178 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.519 to Unfortunately, we can't bypass the simplicity and the order 179 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:08.000 that God has put in his word. Amen. He must 180 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.639 be born again. And then remember he said, he said 181 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.399 by faith, Without faith, no one can please God. And 182 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.440 then that come to God. Number one, they must believe 183 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.120 that he is. And number two is a rewarder of 184 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.320 them that diligently seeking He exists. As what who is 185 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:29.639 that God? To you? He is our creator? Amen. Right 186 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.720 after the Adam and Eve saying anywhere you know, walked 187 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.200 out of the guardian of Edith, we find the same 188 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:41.480 problem with the two children. Abel Abel said, after self evaluashing, 189 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.080 Abel agreed with the verdict of God. I am a sinner. 190 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.799 What qualified Abel has a righteous pace? And the Bible 191 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.639 says by faith, by faith he crept to God by faith, 192 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.480 He offered the right sacrifices and the right sacrifices of 193 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.919 slain animal that Abel was doing. What was saying was 194 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.559 more or less agreeing with God's verdict that I am 195 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.200 unworthy of it. If I need to approach you, I 196 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.480 need to come through the blood sacrifices that God has 197 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.399 prescribed for us to be able to have fellowship and 198 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.279 friendship with Him. And once again we keep on saying, 199 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.879 without that having a very good friendship with God, you 200 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.360 can't have a good friendship with the people of God. Amen. 201 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.039 The relationship with God must be strong enough for us 202 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.840 to draw the reserves that we need to love these 203 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:37.399 people and to be able to coexist as a fellowship. 204 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.639 So when your relationship with God, the thing that draws 205 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.279 us too closer to God, the thing that enables us 206 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.320 to hear from God as a believer, bond again, but 207 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.159 you are not doing it. I'm afraid you are not 208 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.720 going to be able to draw closer to God for 209 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.039 him to open the cab webs. There's no goal areas 210 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.919 in your life where you don't want anybody to go 211 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.080 that is causing the friction in your relationships. Amen, very 212 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.600 very very important, that we understand. So we are asking us. 213 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.159 So the first thing that we say, you should be 214 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.000 you're and is is there anything wrong with my life? 215 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.840 Is there anything wrong with my conversation, the way I talk? Amen? 216 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.879 The best person is God. Amen. This is sometimes the 217 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.759 problem is that when we're anytime that we men, we 218 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.519 start doing it to help and sometimes too. I mean, 219 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.960 God speaks to us. Yes, through the authority of the script, 220 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.639 but he speaks to us. God can communicate to us. 221 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.320 Do any means we said, the Holy Word is there? 222 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.679 The Holy Spirit is there, deep impressions of the heart, 223 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.039 spirit feel Counselors commonly say providence. God can speak. But 224 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.759 the problem sometimes we have is that when men come, 225 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.919 oh you are judging me, go and remove the plank 226 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.480 in your eyes. Just said it. Because when we look 227 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.519 at each other, we find out that when we were all, 228 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.960 like James said, he said, none of us. It's perfect. 229 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:13.080 So we find the situation where everybody says that my 230 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.159 friends stay in your corner. Okay, no problem me. I'm 231 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.559 staying in my corner. I don't have a problem by 232 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.080 you that you say you are also staying in your corner. 233 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.600 Can you approach God that one we will not't do 234 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.120 it because immediately you start approaching God, you don't find 235 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.559 it difficult crime when people rebuke it, because you will 236 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:36.200 now understand that God could use or would use, and 237 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.440 that spirit feel counselas to speak into your life. So 238 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.000 when somebody says that, oh, your lung wage and your 239 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.080 conversation are not nice, you will take it in good faith. 240 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:51.120 After we need to fix it. Amen. So people come 241 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.279 to church and says, oh, no, I've set the sinner's prayer. 242 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.799 I'm fine, stay in your corner. God says, don't judge anybody. 243 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.240 Go and remove the blank in your eyes before you 244 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.680 come and so, and immediately you do that, then we 245 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.240 are cutting ourselves off the grace. The grace remed is 246 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.880 that I needed to fix us. Amen. So we can't 247 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.559 help each other. I own sharpnet. Everybody is supposed to 248 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.200 stay in his corner. But the thing it doesn't work 249 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:24.440 that way. God uses name to correct us, to speak 250 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:27.960 to us, to chastise us. So we find a situation 251 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.079 where now the church, the pastest, a lot of pastes 252 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:36.000 can review me. I review I correct because I draw 253 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.000 my authority from the world, and I'm afraid not to 254 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.559 say what God wants me to see. Amen, a hallelujah. 255 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.759 I know I must admit it some nice sometimes when 256 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.680 I I said, hey, what did I say? I just 257 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.720 I just give myself off because I have decided that 258 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:55.960 I want to be the friend of God number one 259 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.400 before the friend of men. Amen. Get it. That's how 260 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:04.119 it wears God face everything, God face. If you decide 261 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.720 that you'll be a friend of men, first the men, 262 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.400 they will disappoint you. They'll go. So stay close to God, 263 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.799 befriend God, draw the grace and the resources that God 264 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.000 supplies from his presence. And then we add well positioned 265 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.400 now to dispense it towards men. Amen, even the apostle 266 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.839 Jim James, James who was writing we read James chapter 267 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.279 three hours. We were ready too to see the problem 268 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.000 that we have. You know what's admitting that we are 269 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.119 not all perfect. John will also admit the same thing, 270 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.799 that there's no man that says not. But then there's 271 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.839 a certain grace that the Gospel leverages to those that 272 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.720 have come and want to be fixed. Amen. He says 273 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.880 that you will find your dad. You will never be 274 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:54.440 in the position where you are continually sinning, sin, confessing, confessed. 275 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.559 He says, no, you can't do that. Why the Holy 276 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:02.960 Spirit and his word of correction it Amen. The design 277 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:08.119 for fixing us demands cooperation with the Holy Spirit. That's 278 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.079 why we say he will enroll you in the school 279 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.319 of the Spirit, because it's all going to be the 280 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:20.599 application of the Word of God. Hallelujah. Amen. So Abel said, yes, 281 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.480 I have a problem and cooperate it with God. That's 282 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.640 how come Jesus says that he was the first prophet. 283 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.839 He was a righteous man, the first prophet. Now if 284 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.279 you contrast him to King Kay said, no, I don't 285 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.640 have a problem. I'm a victim of myself less circumstances. 286 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.960 Have you heard it before? This is the way I 287 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.640 was created. I'm not responsible. It is Papa Adam. I 288 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.519 used toll blaming Adam, And for how long will you 289 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.279 be blaming him? Oh? As for me, I was born 290 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:53.079 into this dysfunctional family. That's how we hold our conversation. 291 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:56.799 You take me off, But as for me, I know 292 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.440 that God accepts me. Look, it's no sentiment val you 293 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:05.319 and you are not growing stunted bood. You can't bind, 294 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.880 you can't pray, you can't worship, you can't smile, that's 295 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.680 that I'm talking about the joy of the Lord. It's 296 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.599 a strength. Amen. When you see a defeated believer, you 297 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:21.759 know when you are in change. You know, we see 298 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:28.759 the change, the liberation. The joy is absent. Hallelujah. It's 299 00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:32.400 all because we are not cooperating. Cocaine said, I'm blameless. 300 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.920 I'm a victim. I refuse to be blamed. And we 301 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.359 saw even you saw his conversation with God, am I 302 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:43.039 my brother's keeper? When God, your creator, asks you can 303 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.240 come here, where is your brother? He said, Hey, Brother, 304 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.920 am I my brother's keeper? Leave me alone no longer, 305 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.440 no doubt he he made a demn And also don't 306 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.240 make sens I understand that he made it his brother 307 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:01.759 because he allows Satan to take untrue of its life. 308 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:06.079 Halen Lujiah, Amen. And so the problem we have been 309 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:10.960 saying it that that conversation that they had, and that 310 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.599 also tells us, you know that Adam and Eve had 311 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:19.119 with with the serpent or Satan masquerading as the sepen 312 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.960 around the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 313 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.319 and the damage it had. It also tells us the 314 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.079 kind of people who should be holding conversations with Amen, 315 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.559 the kind of conversations that we because there's a spirit behind. 316 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.799 So it's a win win situation. If you just allow 317 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.599 yourself to be governed by the principles of the web 318 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.680 of God, that's how we're going to be fixed. Amen, 319 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.039 Halen Louiah. Now, so let's go on. So if yes, 320 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.079 now we I want to assume that all of us, yeah, 321 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.960 we are not towing the line of k We are 322 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:01.480 agreeing that there's a problem with our conversation. Amen, So 323 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.400 let's go on. If then we are admitting that there's 324 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.319 work to do to correct it. And then the first 325 00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.160 point that I want to make that nobody can do 326 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.519 it for you. You must take frontline position. Amen. Those of 327 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.519 us will still blame Adam. The Bible says that they 328 00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:23.799 shall not be that word. The father shall eat sad grapes, 329 00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:28.200 and then the children's teeth be set on. Each man 330 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:34.359 shall be what responsible for his own sake, Amen. And 331 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:38.000 all these are in the word. So Adam will be 332 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:45.720 judged differently as an individual. Yes, we hate the majority 333 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.079 of the blame on him. But now God has putting 334 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.319 the remedies. What are we doing about it? Amen? So 335 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.559 we must take frontline position. You and I must be 336 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:01.000 active and look for the remedy. Number three must recognize 337 00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.359 that you can't fix it on your own. But we 338 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.960 are agreeing that God can't fix it. And it all starts. 339 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.839 We once again the bone again, experience it lays the 340 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.880 groundwag for the remed is to be applied. The bone again, 341 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:21.640 the bone again, Harlene Louiah. Amen. In March chapter seven, 342 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.880 when Jesus was speaking to Or in the Salmon on 343 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.000 the Mound, can we quickly look at it? Semon on 344 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.519 the Mound seven seventeen to twenty, look at it? Even so, 345 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.480 every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree 346 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:46.160 bears bad fruit. Healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor 347 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.720 can a disease tree bear good fruit. Every three that 348 00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:54.160 does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown 349 00:23:54.359 --> 00:24:00.680 into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. Amen, 350 00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:05.480 I hope you are getting it. So you can't now 351 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:10.160 get this. You can be born again for a long 352 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.799 time and never you. Now you have decided that ask 353 00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:19.359 for me the new Man project. I will never embark 354 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:24.759 on it. You die. Amen. The fruit God Jesus is 355 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.759 saying that we must fix the tree so that now 356 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:31.279 the tree can bear so God goes to the root 357 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.640 of the problem. Amen. So if we don't cooperate with 358 00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.440 him so that we can fix the root of the problem, 359 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:43.039 the tree has to be fixed so that the fruits. Amen, 360 00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.319 and then the one in is there. He says that 361 00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.000 every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut 362 00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:54.079 down and thrown into the fire. Once upon a time 363 00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:56.920 some of us who were born again, But how many 364 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.400 years ago. You can't do the one and do the 365 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:02.680 other and refuse to do the other. You can't get 366 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.720 born again and not sign up for the new man projects, 367 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.599 say a big a man. We need to get some 368 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.839 of these truths well else if in your born again, 369 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.960 that's what Jesus is saying that for how long it 370 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.960 will cut you down? Because here saving time, you're not 371 00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:23.079 cooperating and there's not you're not seeing any fruiting. How 372 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.480 long are you going to get born again? As you 373 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.160 lie there and you're not, You're refusing to get roots, 374 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.039 you are refusing to be wored, you are refusing to 375 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:35.039 grow up, you are refusing to mature. When you are 376 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:39.759 lying down idle, it will decay and you're rot and 377 00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.720 the farmer has every right to cut you off. Amen. 378 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.319 He says, a healthy three cannot bad bad fruit, nor 379 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.240 can a disease to re bad good fruit. So Jesus 380 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:59.359 wants us to tackle the tree itself, the foundation. Hallelujah, Amen, 381 00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:02.279 so so that we can pick it up from there. 382 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.319 So we are saying, the bone again and then the 383 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.920 new Man. You can't pick one and leave the other 384 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:15.240 one follows after the other, or else should I use 385 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.920 the word you're born again becomes nuw and void because 386 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:20.799 at the point in time it will have to be 387 00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:26.599 cut off. Amen. But once you are born again, then invariably, 388 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:29.559 as we are saying, you don't even get to decide 389 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:34.160 whether it's you sign up for the new Man project. 390 00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.880 He will do that he may. But the bone again 391 00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.039 is so key, get it because it is you that 392 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.359 assesses that I need God and God exists. It's always 393 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.319 it's not just emotional thing. It's based on a setting. 394 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.440 If you like understanding knowledge and understanding God exists, there 395 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.839 that can must believe that God is. And he said, 396 00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:01.839 rewarder of them that diligently seeking I assess my life. 397 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.680 I am under conviction. I realize that I don't like 398 00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.799 my life. I want my life to be fixed, and 399 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.920 that is why I march to the cross and then 400 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.720 respond to the invitation to come for a fixing. Amen. Amen. 401 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:20.519
