00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 1st January, 2016, titled Resolutions New Year of Our Life. Resolutions New Year of Our Life. Brothers and sisters.

00:15 Before I was captured by Christ and changed me. Before that, we used to have these dinner parties or what have you throughout December, December actually. And I was getting drunk more and more during the season.

00:32 And we’ll wait for that. We’ll be one of the clubs and for the strike of 12 midnight. And after that, everybody is celebrating and say New Year’s come, that this year will be better than last year.

00:46 And some resolutions are being made. Just before the New Year is done, we are drinking together. But I never made any resolutions because I knew that whatever resolutions I keep, not even on New Year Eve, I never kept it kept on failing.

01:03 I tried, okay, I’ll not drink for I’ll stop drinking. And then after one, two, three weeks, back, back again. So the resolutions never really made sense to me.

01:14 So I never bothered about them. But a lot of people resolutions make because they think that’s a plan that they need to achieve. And so they have this now.

01:22 But let us see what, as a Christian, what kind of resolutions you have made. You have resolved. You don’t have to wait for New Year Eve.

01:30 Whenever Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God, through the Spirit of God, reminds you of something, you resolve yourself. Resolve means you’re making a steady stand. I resolve.

01:40 I will not do this again. I resolve in the name of Jesus Christ. I will do this as my God ordained me and commanded me to do.

01:47 It’s a resolution. You are resolving to stand by this. But let us see today, do we make new resolutions as Christians, or do we make resolutions for life and throughout the year? When God shows you something, you make a resolution for life.

02:02 On that issue. Now, Philippians 2, 3, 4, I’m reading from the Catholic edition. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit.

02:08 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit. But in humility, regard others as better than yourself. In humility, regard others as better than yourself.

02:22 Let each of you look not to your own interest, but to the interests of others. Now the Bible is saying, God’s word is saying, do not look at your own interest, but look at the interest of others. Hey, then how about me? What will happen to me? This
is the secret of the life of Christ, life in Christ.

02:39 Because you look at the interests of others, your interest will be taken care of. And fantastically, when you begin to experience this, then you know that Jesus Christ’s words are True. God’s words are true.

02:51 It’s not written void when he told you, look at the interest of others. And then what about me? I don’t care about myself. Things will be done for you.

02:58 Surprisingly, whatever you need will be provided for you. Brothers and sisters, now I finish the scriptures first, John 12:24. John 12:24 says, I assure you.

03:12 And this from amplified I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, just one grain, never more. But if it dies, it produces much grain. And yields a harvest.

03:28 And yields a harvest. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live yet not I, but Christ lives in me.

03:42 This is from King James Version Galatians 2:20k. James Version But Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh. I live by the faith, by adhering to, relying on and completely trusting this I put a note there to say what faith is
adhering to Jesus Christ, adhering to his commands, adherence, adhering to his prescriptions, relying on and completely trusting.

04:07 So by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Now we will try and see how best to explain these things. Dying to self, not death of self.

04:20 Dying to self is not death of self. That means, ah, nothing. I’m finished.

04:25 I am totally nothing. I am useless. I am self rejection.

04:29 I am nothing. I am nothing. No, if you think you are something, you actually deceive yourself when you are nothing.

04:34 That’s true. Because why Jesus Christ is all in all, if we think we are something, we cannot control so many things. We cannot control so many things.

04:44 Even today people say New Year, there are people suffering. There are millions who are suffering right today, when a lot of people are indulging over indulgence the night before 31st of December, there are. People have lost families in catastrophes,
in tragedies.

05:04 They have lost, families are broken, divorces have taken place, children have died, children are suffering, children have no education, no money for the coming year, maybe to provide for simple shoes. There are so many things going on all over the
world. But if this 31st of December business created by the world system, but looks very good because you see, one whole year we did some rubbish and all that, we didn’t make it or whatever.

05:32 Now we start again with the new year and that looks very good, looks excellent because you cut off one whole year and forget about it. Let’s start. There’s a brand new year, a new year coming up it looks like it’s hope, like giving hope, but
actually, no.

05:46 Now let’s look at this. John 12:24. I assure you that, and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone.

05:55 It remains as just one grain, never more. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest. Let me take a simple example of a father and mother.

06:04 A father and mother. First they were alone, then they married. They became one.

06:08 They still one. Each one, earlier, singular, now became married. And in God’s eyes, they are one, but physically they are two.

06:16 Now God gives them children. Now these two people, the father and mother being father, fear of God, being with the power of Christ, doing things for the children and the children growing up in the Lord. And when they grow up, and even with those who
do not know Christ, those who have fear of God are taking care of their children and they’re nurturing them.

06:37 And the children, let’s say they finally had three children. Three children grew up and then now they died to self, isn’t it? They sacrificed themselves. Things that they wanted, they couldn’t buy.

06:48 They denied it, denied themselves and picked up the cross without them knowing for this particular event doesn’t mean they will be able without Christ. You cannot deny yourself, pick up the cross in all events, but you can deny yourself because the
cross in many events, some events are living events. And then everything they had, they put it on the children.

07:07 Then the children grew up and now they’re taking out the parents. Now remember that one union has got now three children. And one, if you take physically now, three children too, that means five.

07:21 Five. So one of each of them now can have, say four. The father says, I got my wife and I got three children who care for me.

07:30 The mother will say, I got my husband and three children who care for me. When I’m in this age. Now it has grown because one grain willing to die, die to self.

07:42 Now die to self again. Is every moral teaching will tell you, deny yourself. You know, though they’ll use some or other, some Christ words or some biblical scriptures and say, look, care for others because of moral teaching, religious teaching.

07:57 But then the thing that they miss is simple. They don’t have the power to do it. And they don’t have another element.

08:04 I keep telling you all, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus Christ said it. So I keep quoting again, again.

08:11 Jesus Christ said, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. But I’ve come to give you power, abundant life, life and abundant life. I came to give you life and abundant life.

08:24 How? Through the power. That is why the first scripture that he says in Mark 16:17, the scripture he says, not first scripture, the important scripture. He says, before he leaves earth.

08:35 Is he going to leave earth? And he says, these signs will accompany those who believe. By using my name, they will cast out demons or evil spirits. They will speak in new tongues.

08:46 Evil spirits. They have to destroy us. Familiar spirits are evil spirits.

08:51 I got a segment God has made me do by God’s mercy called familiar spirits. Go and see how the familiar spirit deals with people. That is why many cannot get out of sin.

09:01 Because they do not want to cast out. If you don’t cast out, you will not go. Therefore, sadly, many churches are not teaching this.

09:09 Maybe they do not know, or maybe they want all to come to one man or something. But this is what Jesus wants us to teach each other. And you don’t have to become a pastor or some kind of a hot preacher.

09:23 Whatever. You take this message and tell the others. Because it’s your obligation as a follower of Christ to tell others.

09:30 Hey, listen, brothers and sisters, we have a problem. You know we have a problem. What’s the problem? We are not alone.

09:38 There’s a demon, a familiar spirit in each of us. One, two, around us, each of us. Without Christ, you can’t cast the fellow out.

09:45 It’s inside. And he brings other demons more and more and makes life more and more worse. And what he does, he begins to manipulate your mind, manipulate your heart, put thoughts in your heart, make you do wrong things, make you say wrong things,
make you get angry.

10:01 You cannot. And then a spirit of unforgiveness enters, A spirit of hatred enters. A spirit of fear comes, all that comes and makes one big mess.

10:12 And our lives are messed up. That is why the resolution is for life. You have to make a resolution for life.

10:20 Not a resolution for just for this year. Resolution for life. The life is, I am crucified with Christ.

10:27 Nevertheless, I live. Not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.

10:37 You live by the faith of Son of God. That means you can deny yourself. Why? First of all, you cast out these things in the name of Jesus Christ.

10:45 All the spirits of temptation you can cast out at the same time. You remember that Jesus Christ told the sea to be calm. The storm stopped and the sea became like glass.

10:56 He’s speaking to material things. That’s why Jesus said, look at the things unseen for the Things that are seen are made from material unseen. This is at the same time he was coming to Jerusalem.

11:11 And the people are carrying this palm. That’s why people call it Palm Sunday. It was not really Sunday, but any case, he was coming there now.

11:19 What happened there? The soldiers were telling. Tell your people to be quiet. He said if I tell them to be quiet, even the stones will rise up and call my name.

11:30 Even the stones will rise up and call my name. Why? Because he created every molecule. He created every atom.

11:37 He created every magnetic field. Everything was created by Jesus Christ, through Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ. So the material molecules, atoms know the creator.

11:53 Therefore the water molecules knew that he is Jesus. They are creator. They become like glass, the sand.

12:02 The stones will cry out because they know he created them. Do we know he created us? Do we remember? We remember. There’s a song you know.

12:12 I was born to be a dwelling place, the home for a presence of the Lord. A home for the presence of the Lord. Is that the presence of Jesus Christ in me all the time? Whatever I am doing is that his presence is there.

12:28 I will think about what he wants me to do. Then everything follows. Then you will search scriptures because love me with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

12:36 Also includes seek me with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. How to seek him? When you seek him, you lean on him. How to lean on him.

12:44 Like John did and benefited by looking at the word of God. You have to seek his Word of God and you look at the seek and seek the word of God. Now life has become very easy to seek all this because you got an Internet connection or go to the
Internet Internet cafe if you don’t have one.

12:59 Or even from your phone, your wi fi, the phone or whatever, you put the keywords in the Google, Bing and all the search engines they have and these things will come out. Deny yourself Scriptures is put there, it comes out and then you begin to read
and meditate. Brothers and sisters.

13:16 That is why if Christianity follows like many, many, sadly, large number of churches or congregations or individuals or calls under Christians are religious. They don’t have the power because they don’t apply the power. As the world will say, use it
or lose it.

13:36 The doctors will tell the old people, use it or lose it. If you don’t walk around and use your limbs and all, finally you lose the strength in the limb. Now that is why we have to use the power Jesus has given.

13:51 That is a fundamental difference. On that day, graves were open. When he died, graves were opened.

13:59 And people earlier Saints were walking around now. He died and rose again. First thing is to give us power.

14:08 And when he gives us power, he expects us to use it because he tells Satan, look here, I don’t have to deal with you. You are just a created being. I created you as Lucifer and you have become Satan because you oppose God.

14:23 God is Father God. The word of God is Jesus Christ, who is inside God at that time. 3.

14:30 The spirit of God, who is inside God. So Father God, Jesus Christ and Spirit of God. That is why they call it the Holy Trinity.

14:37 Then Jesus comes out and becomes the form of a man and suffered, died and rose again and takes the power out of Satan and gives to his children those who follow him. Use the power, brothers and sisters. You have to use the power.

14:50 If you don’t use the power every day, dealing with the areas that you are weak in something some anger. Anger is a murderer. God calls you a murderer.

15:00 Anger against a brother is actually God calls you a murderer. You cast it out in the name of Jesus Christ and you speak your heart and mind and use the relevant scriptures to talk to them. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to
do this.

15:13 For instance, to know I am crucified in Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. Command my heart and mind to know that unless I die to self, I cannot prosper.

15:26 There will not be prosperity. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know the Philippians 2, 3, 4. I will do nothing out of self ambition or conceited.

15:32 I will do everything. In the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to do everything in the humility and regard others as better than myself.

15:46 You begin to pray this. In the name of Jesus Christ. I command every sexual immorality.

15:53 Get out of me. Spirits of sexual immorality. I curse you.

15:53 Get out of me. In the name of Jesus Christ. I receive.

15:58 I receive the blood of Jesus Christ. You begin to pray like this. You begin to pray like this, brothers and sisters.

16:06 And you still struggling because your flesh is strong. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to fast, My flesh to fast. Fast until this thing breaks.

16:16 Because some demonic forces only live by fasting and prayer. I dealt with it yesterday. Only by fasting and prayer.

16:24 Yesterday is how to overcome temptation. So make a resolution for life today. Make a resolution that you are crucified with Christ and yet you live.

16:35 You die to self, but yourself is not dead. You still God has given you will to follow him. Brothers and sisters, today is a wonderful day.

16:45 I’m not bothered whether it’s 1st of January or not. Every day is a wonderful day. Every day I will remind ourselves we are in Christ in the name of Jesus Christ.

16:55 So I will act as a Christian. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
