00:01 Praise Jesus Christ. Praise Jesus Christ indeed. Devils attack Christians Part 3 I bowed to this idol unknowingly. And I suffered severely.
00:13 Suffered severely. But this was before I knew Christ. Before Christ has caught hold of me.
00:18 Before I surrendered myself to Jesus Christ. This, before that. After I came to know Jesus Christ, I decided to obey.
00:26 If Jesus says this wall is black, for me the wall is black. Although my eyes are saying white, I don’t care. The wall is black because Jesus is the truth.
00:35 My eyes will play tricks. I have explained this earlier many times now. So what is this idol? I bowed to this idol.
00:44 And unknowingly. Unknowingly. And I suffered, suffered, suffered to the point of death and all that.
00:52 Are you suffering? Do you have peace? But many Christians are still bowing down to this idol, not knowing unknowingly. But some do not want to let go. Then that’s their choice.
01:06 Jesus Christ will not force you. You choose. Jesus Christ wants you willingly to accept him as Lord, Saviour, God and Master.
01:15 And surrender yourself willingly. He doesn’t want any forced issue. He wants a willing soul back to him now.
01:25 So what is this idol? The idol is self. Myself. Hey, what is this? Myself? Yeah.
01:35 Because it is James 3:16 clear. Self seeking causes confusion. And every evil thing will be there.
01:44 That includes demons and devils and whatever you want to call them. And every evil thing, including evil spirits. Your life will not go right.
01:54 You will not have peace. No peace. No peace.
01:58 Why self seeking? Jesus already told that the word of God is Jesus. James 3:16 has clearly said self seeking causes this. Now self seeking is what we not God seeking.
02:11 We don’t seek the word of God when we don’t seek the word of God. Yes, before knowing Christ, I never seek the word of God. I thought I have read the Bible.
02:20 I thought. But the Bible made very little sense. Now until you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, Savior, God and Master and submit to his lordship, you will not have understanding of the Bible.
02:34 Because a spiritual issue in the spirit. God says worship me in spirit and in truth. Because God is spirit is spirit.
02:43 God is not a spirit. God is spirit. Worship him in spirit and in truth.
02:49 Only when you accept him in truth that you accept that you are a sinner, that you have sinned. Anybody who says there is no sin, God says they are calling God a liar. And if anybody says they have not sinned and they have deceived themselves, God
says you have deceived yourself.
03:09 I have deceived myself before, but that’s before coming to Christ. And at the point of death. Jesus saved me.
03:15 Now read my testimony in the graceoflife.com My story there now. So self seeking is not God seeking. God seeking means you won’t have this problem.
03:31 Now when you have self seeking your own way, you are bowing to an idol. You are your God. You become your small God.
03:40 God calls all these things small gods because created things acting like gods are small gods. Because Almighty God is God, Almighty Creator. All these little things people unknowingly do or worship generally, they themselves are gods.
03:56 I myself was my own God. Not knowing definition of God is what by Jesus Christ, the definition. The Word of God says, if you listen to your own self and don’t want to listen to what the Word of God says, then you are acting like your own God and you
are cursed.
04:14 Of course, Exodus 24 and 5 very clear. If you bow down to any idol power only you know, no need to worship. But actually in my case not.
04:26 I was listening to myself without realizing I am actually worshipping myself. Are you worshipping yourself without knowing? Are you bowing down your own understanding, not realizing that that is causing you all the problems? Are you bowing down? You
may be a Christian, you might have accepted Jesus Christ. The fact is Jesus Christ, the Son of God died and rose again.
04:47 All that you accepted, but the actions there. Are you looking at the Word of God or are you still being led by your own carnality, your own flesh? In fact, there’s a Word of God says, test yourself. Because God’s word is there is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus.
05:07 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. But Jesus also says the Word of God says, test yourself whether you are in Christ. So what is the rule now? There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who.
05:24 Who do not walk after the flesh, but walk after the Spirit of God. After the Spirit of God. Remember this, Just because you say I’m in Christ, I’m in Christ.
05:36 No, that’s a test. The test is, are you walking after the Spirit of God or are you walking after your own flesh? If you’re walking after your own flesh, what you think and all you are your own God. If I was my own God and suffered.
05:52 Don’t need to suffer. You don’t have to suffer. Do you have peace? Do you have direction? Do you hear God? Then you better check whether you are in Christ.
05:59 If you are in Christ, you will now walk after the Spirit of God. Now how to do that? The Spirit of God, Jesus Christ said, I have to go And I will send you the Holy Spirit who will bring to memory all things. Bring to memory all things that I have
spoken unto you.
06:20 He told the disciples that the Holy Spirit will bring to memory all things that I have spoken unto you. That means now, if you say you are hearing the Spirit of God, you cannot be hearing it unless you have heard the Word of God. Unless you have
gone and studied the Word of God.
06:36 Because God says faith comes from hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So as you listen to the Word of God more and more, then the Holy Spirit will bring to memory that. Some people say, Jesus told me, the Holy Spirit told me and all that.
06:50 And it will be completely contradictory to what Jesus himself has written down in Scriptures. Can you imagine? All scripture is God breathed. Remember this and it’s good for rebuke, correction and edification.
07:06 It’s not just for edification. Edification there. Start the rebuke and a correction and then only edification will come.
07:13 All scriptures. God breathed. Yes, the Word of God.
07:16 God breathed. But now you have to search the Word of God. Hear the Word of God.
07:21 That’s why we used to put the still. Now we do that. The New Testament put that playing all the time.
07:27 Faith comes from hearing, not merely reading. If you’re reading, you have to read little audibly. So it leaves your mouth and gets into your heart, believing in your heart.
07:36 So please, are you your own God? I was. And that destroyed me. Finished.
07:44 Actually, all things are destroyed. Family destroyed, business destroyed. Jesus Christ has restored everything in my life.
07:51 Amen. Thank you, Father. In the name of Jesus Christ.
