00:01 Praise Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, today is the 2nd of August 2015. Power of Christ Daily Doer of the Word Doer of the Word the title is Doer of the Word. Meditate on these things now this is the group I’m led to start earlier.
00:21 Remember faith. So from time to time I may talk about faith as the Lord leads. And this is another group called Doer of the Word and this is today’s topic is Meditate on these things now the graceoflife.com where the power of Christ one page
dedicated and you can do searches.
00:40 The search function is not working for now they are sorting it out in Jesus name. I pray it will soon be sorted now brothers and sisters, today is a Sunday and I used to wonder about this those days when I came to the Lord, you know, I was such a
terrible sin and I was broken and I know I have done so many wrong things and my life became a mess because of what I’ve allowed myself to do. Then I told myself, lord, I’ve been away from you for so long.
01:13 So I’ve been away from you, let’s say the time. I’m 43, so I’m thinking I’m away from him from something about 20 years. So if I only take one preaching for each Sunday, that means there are 52 Sundays every year.
01:32 If I take 20 times 52, let’s say about 1,000 preachings. If I do a thousand preachings, even 200 preachings and it probably repeat itself, I should bring myself up to speed. So I went and started buying all these preaching preaching tapes and I am
sitting down there quietly and God has put me into a long fast at that time.
01:58 And so I am listening to this daily. After about two days of listening, God suddenly impressed my soul and the Spirit of God said, stop. Do you remember the preaching two days ago that you heard? I was trying to remember so desperately I could not,
I could not remember the preaching.
02:22 What about yesterday’s preaching that you heard every day? I used to listen to a few preachings, you know, so I could not, Lord, no Lord, I cannot listen, I cannot remember. What about the preaching you just heard when I stopped you? Can you
remember? No, Lord, I couldn’t remember. I just couldn’t remember, brothers and sisters.
02:41 I just couldn’t remember. Then Jesus said, put all this away. These are how the human beings do mechanically.
02:53 I sent the Holy Spirit to you. I sent the Holy Spirit to you so that you won’t be an orphan, you won’t be left alone. He’ll always be with you, you are sealed for salvation.
03:07 So you will be learning to hear my voice and do the right thing. I will lead you. I will make you.
03:16 So I decided that day. Lord, make me, Lord, make me. I surrender my will.
03:23 I do not want my will anymore. But my will. Even in Christ, my will was taking me in the wrong direction.
03:26 Even in Christ, my will is taking me in the wrong direction. And I am trying to do things using my own understanding. That’s what I used to do when I was studying for professional exams.
03:40 We used to, oh, take this and read this again and again, repeat or something. All this foolishness, brothers and sisters, that God has made me understand this about 20 years ago, then I realized this is God Almighty, King of kings and Lord of Lords.
I have to listen to his Word, hearken to his Word and then go.
04:03 Now, one scripture that I’m led to do today is under the doer of the word, meditate on these things is Philippians 4:8. Philippians 4:8. I’m reading from the complete Jewish Bible.
04:17 In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true. Focus your thoughts on what is true. Now the like some scriptures, some translations say meditate, meditate.
04:33 Focus means meditate, not just little white things and go off. Meditate your thoughts on what is true. Noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable or some virtue or something praiseworthy.
04:50 Some virtue or something, something of value. Focus your thoughts. Now, of course, now we know that if we begin to focus on wrong thoughts, the world calls it toxic thoughts, the science calls it toxic thoughts.
05:04 God calls it sinful thoughts. We better go along what God says, sinful thoughts. When we begin to focus or meditate and keep thinking about things that are not good, then obviously number of things happen.
05:18 Signs have shown us, obviously water crystals in our body begins to change into ridiculously discolored. Therefore, if you go and look at the water preaching we did that is the water pitching I did that is a. You’ll see the pictures.
05:36 If you get the emails, you’ll see the pictures. Now the pictures are very frightening. What how rock music, how the water crystals become bad thoughts.
05:47 Hate, hate, hate. How the water things become. And then we also know now in science that every beat of our heart sense the frequency of what the heart is thinking, what the heart is feeling, is sensing, sense, sense.
06:00 So when you begin to think good things, noble things, obviously lovely things are being sent to every cell. And every cell flourishes under love, every cell of our own body. So we think these things, we meditate these things for our own sake.
06:16 And now how to bring our mind to subjection. Our mind begins to run here, run there. That is why.
06:23 Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, you command your heart and mind, heart and mind. I command you in the name of Jesus Christ. You will only focus on this today.
06:35 Let’s say today we have to focus on some love. Let’s look at this. You want to feel love now? God says.
06:43 How can you love God when you do not love your own brother, whom you see, That’s a valid, very valid point, don’t you think? Whom we see, we cannot love. We want to love God. We are fooling ourselves now.
06:58 So what we do. What can we do is we can take a moment and thinking. And you can think all this time, all the while, while you’re even brushing your teeth, you can think.
07:07 That’s not the issue. Because there are certain things in our life we do which are automatic. It’s automated, it’s on.
07:14 On auto. We’re just doing this while we’re sitting in the auto, while sitting in the car, we’re sitting in the bus, we’re busy in the train. We’re sitting.
07:22 We’re doing a brushing our teeth or we are just combing our hair. Whatever we can think, we think. Let’s just take today just to flood your heart with love.
07:34 Take some body that you can love, because there are people. Although we are supposed to love our enemy. If you can’t meditate and focus on somebody you actually love, how are you going to reach loving an enemy? It is impossible because our minds,
our heart must be brought to love step by step, in Jesus Christ’s name.
07:57 So let’s take. Let’s say your mother. Let us say you are angry with your mother.
08:02 Now, of course, you are listening to this daily power of Christ and you got rid of the anger and all because you know it is wrong. You forgive everybody for your own sake. So now you have forgiven her.
08:13 Now you want to love your mother, just forgiven and keep quiet and be a neutral. It’s not good enough. You want to move on.
08:20 You want to love because God loves you. You are filled with love of God. It’s already there.
08:27 It’s only exhibiting and executing the love. So you think of your mother. How, of course, the last thing your mother did, or whatever you did.
08:36 And you are angry and fed up. And now you are forgiven. Yes, you are neutral.
08:41 And now when you begin to think of your mother, some of these thoughts will come back. So you say, no, I will think good thoughts. I will think true thoughts.
08:51 Commander, meditate on true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable, admirable thoughts. Thoughts that are. Focus on these thoughts.
08:58 So very simple. Start first close your eyes. Forget the Forget whatever you don’t remember, whatever you have now forgiven.
09:08 Look for. Go back in the years in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, Holy Spirit. Show me the time when I used to have love for my mother, something my mother was doing for me and I felt love.
09:22 It may be a simple thing. It may be a simple cake she made for you, a simple meal he made for you that you felt love or your mother was. You are seeing your mother sad someday one day.
09:34 Go back to the day when you saw your mother sad, sitting in the settee and maybe literally looking so sad, but no tears are falling, but you can sense she is sad for something. Sad. She is sad for something and she is still doing the things she did
for you.
09:53 She is still washing her clothes. She is still caring for you. Go back to the time when you cannot even remember when you were a baby.
10:00 How did you survive to this age? When you were a baby, she didn’t forsake you, she carried you. When you are having temperature, when you are having fever, night after night. Maybe she wouldn’t tell you.
10:14 She would be caring for you. She would be caring for you when she herself may be so weak and tired and maybe she got the worldly problems of suppressing her because she doesn’t know Christ. Maybe even.
10:28 And yet she was caring for you. She may be weeping on her own matters that was going on that time, but she’s caring for you. She was loving you.
10:37 That is love. That is true love. Love is putting aside whatever they’re carrying, the burden they’re carrying and still carrying for.
10:46 Oh, think of that. Think of that. And you begin to feel a sense.
10:51 Stir the emotions. God says, remember the scripture. He said stirring of the emotion.
10:55 Let it stir your emotion. Stir your emotion to feel for your mother, to feel love. My mother did this so that you overwhelm whatever she did with this little thing.
11:08 Something has gone wrong, some issue, she has made a mistake. And you, because you’re older and you are bigger or you are earning or something, and now your heart and mind became wicked, focusing only on those things. And you were angry with your
mother.
11:22 Forgive, forgive, Love her. Love her. Love her, brothers and sisters.
11:28 Love her. This love, when stirring into you, will flush your own self with love, will flush your own self with love. And your heart will beat with that frequency, brothers and sisters, stir up the love.
11:44 Doing something similar. What I’ve taught you here today in the name of Jesus Christ. And it’s a command to think of these wonderful things, meditate on these things.
11:53 So every time you meditate on something like this, love will flow for you. And then you take the phone and call her mother, Ma, I love you, Ma, I love you. I love you, Ma.
12:06 Now you love her, and that love is stirring in you. And then you will release love to others around you. Because love is now the frequency of love so filled with your soul is beginning to reach out to others.
12:22 Others are drawn to you because love draws. Love draws, brothers and sisters. Love will always draw because love God is love.
12:32 He will draw. Now the next portion I want to tell you is this. James 1:22-26 James 1:22-26 in the easy read version English Easy read version I’m telling Do what God’s teaching says.
12:49 Don’t just listen and do nothing. Do what God’s teaching says. Don’t just listen and do nothing.
12:57 This is a Sunday, brothers and sisters. Many are going to church and listening and going off and listening and going off and listening. And this has been going on week after week after week in people’s lives.
13:10 When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourself. This is what the 22 says. James 1:22 when you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves.
13:20 23 Hearing God teaching and doing nothing is like looking at your face in the mirror and doing nothing about what you saw. You go away and immediately forget how bad you look. Can you imagine, especially women, when you see your face in the mirror.
13:38 Let us say there’s something, some pimple or something. You obviously want to hide it with some makeup or something. Or let’s say, some dirt for a man.
13:46 Some dirt is on the face. You think they’re not going to wash it or clean it. But God is saying this is very when you hear God’s teaching and do nothing, you just sit and listen.
13:57 He says, you are fooling yourself. And he says you do nothing. You just go away immediately forget how bad you looked.
14:04 25 but when you look into God’s perfect law that sets people free. God’s perfect law sets people free. Pay attention to it.
14:13 If you do what he says, you will have God’s blessing. Never just listen to his teaching and forget what you heard. Never just listen.
14:22 That’s the written word. You might think you are a very religious person, but if your tongue is out of control, you’re fooling yourself. Your careless talk makes your offerings to God worthless.
14:33 Careless talks always makes your offering to God worthless. Brothers and sisters. The other thing is from the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak.
14:41 So your heart has to be changed. First get to love. Think of one person whom you can love and love and.
14:48 And think about the issue, the event. Go back when the mother was carrying you. Think of this mother.
14:53 Think of your mother. And those of you who are listening, who didn’t have a mother to know, think of God. You know what he said? Brothers and sisters, if you didn’t have a mother to remember, think of this.
15:05 Think of somebody who brought you up, somebody had taken care of you. Think of that woman. Think of that man as a father.
15:12 But God says this. Even if your mother releases or doesn’t care for a baby, is suckling baby just discards the baby. I will not discard you.
15:26 Even if a mother who has a baby who needs nursing, just throw with the baby. He will not discard you. Jesus loves you.
15:35 Jesus loves you. Brothers and sisters, today. Let’s start today, Sunday.
15:40 Be a doer of the word. Meditate on these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
