00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ daily 18th of September. We are still in the work of God. Work of God is work of God.

00:10 Examine yourself. Chapter nine Self control. Chapter two Self control Part two.

00:20 The work of God, let’s remind ourselves, is believing in Jesus Christ. That’s it. Believing in Jesus Christ.

00:27 More we believe in the spiritual world. God considers it work. We better go by God’s definition because it is finally he created us, created the heavens and the earth.

00:37 Almighty God. 2. Examining Ourselves we have to examine ourselves to make sure that we are not counterfeit Christians.

00:44 We are not fake Christians and we don’t want to be fake Christians. We don’t want to be counterfeit Christians. We examine ourselves, test ourselves, prove ourselves and then we can be true Christians and pleasing to Christ and having a good life.

00:58 Having a good life. Now today we talk about self control, one of the flavours of Galatians 5, 22, 23 which is the fruit of the Spirit. Now in Titus 2:11, 13, I’m reading from the New Revised Standard Catholic edition.

01:21 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self controlled, upright and godly. 13 While we wait for the blessed hope and
manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. So what has appeared? Grace has appeared, bringing what? Salvation to all and training us to renounce worldly passions and impiety.

02:00 Now in Titus 2:11, 13 I’m now reading from the Amplified. For the remarkable and undeserved grace of God that brings salvation as appeared to all men. It teaches us to reject ungodliness, worldly, immoral desires.

02:20 Worldly desires are actually immoral desires. The earth belongs to Jesus Christ. He created it.

02:27 But the world, the system of governing the earth, the system of governing the earth, controlling the earth, things happening in the earth and all this is still worldly. And that ruler of the world right now is still Satan. Rule of the world is now
still Satan.

02:43 That is why eventually you’ll bring the Antichrist and all that. But we are not going to get petrified and panicked about this. Our God says, just with his breath, Antichrist is destroyed.

02:56 Just with the breath finished. No, no issue here. Our Father God protects us, takes care of us, loves us.

03:04 Jesus Christ, the King of kings has overcome all and taken out the power of Satan and given his children power. So don’t concern yourself the devil in terms of oh, he will do something to Us. No, no, he cannot do anything.

03:18 If you stand in the name of Jesus Christ and you want to do the right thing, one, two, only willing. Willing to do the right thing. Willing to do what Jesus tells you.

03:28 You command any demonic force to go in the name of Jesus Christ and it will go. But if we do not want to follow Jesus Christ the way Jesus Christ has written down, if we want to follow Jesus Christ the way our mind tells us, our hearts tell us, our
neighbors tell us, our another Christian brother or sister telling us without any proof in Scripture, without any proof from the Bible, then we won’t have power. The devil will overtake us now.

03:57 So here reject ungodliness, worldly, immoral desires and to live sensible, upright and godly lives. This is a purpose. Sensible, upright and godly life lies.

04:09 The purpose that reflects spiritual maturity is your life is my life is living as a purpose for Christ. Purpose that eternity will come. Purpose that our body one day will die and we still have to face the living God.

04:25 Purpose that what we do, what God has told us to do. Believe in the one whom he sent. Believing more in Jesus Christ.

04:31 Believing more in Jesus Christ. The purpose to believe more and more in Jesus Christ means the purpose is to obey him. Because he says, if you love me, keep my commandments, walk in my commandments.

04:46 That’s the purpose to love Jesus Christ. And the purpose to love Jesus Christ how? The purpose to keep his commandments. How? Because the commandments are a prescription.

04:56 The old Hebrew description says it’s a kind of prescription, authoritative prescription so that we can prescribe that our diseases will go. Our other diseases, our bad things in our life are considered diseases. And with the authoritative
prescription, the diseases live a good life.

05:17 We’ll be healed. Healed in the spirit in this present age with a purpose 13 waiting and confidently expecting the fulfillment of our blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As we get up this morning, or any
morning, first take a moment and think of Jesus Christ.

05:42 He is love. God is love. So we think about love.

05:45 We think about others. We first of all, we begin to meditate on the scriptures God will bring. He will bring scriptures.

05:52 The Spirit of God will bring scriptures not related to just in the power of Christ. Daily that I am speaking, it will be from the past, once, maybe, maybe even from the future ones which have not spoken. He will bring the words of God to you.

06:03 He will bring things. Because you are meditating on the husband of your soul. You are waking up today.

06:11 The husband of your soul is with you you are complete, you are whole. You had a whole set of difficulties, challenges yesterday, but today you have mercies anew every morning. And then this starts with what? First Corinthians 8, 2.

06:27 If I think I know something I do not know as I ought to know as yet. This is crit, single brothers. Because our heart and mind is very wicked.

06:36 It begins to think after a while. It knows. It knows.

06:39 What does it know? Because whatever the world has taught us is only taught us a hidden thing. There was a movie called the Matrix. And then you go into the Matrix, you find there’s actually a different world and we’re actually believing one thing
when actually there’s another thing.

06:56 Now this is similarly here. That is what the concept would have got from this actual world whereby there’s a spirit world that controls the actual world or the physical world. There’s a spirit world.

07:09 And we must focus on the spirit world. Because we have power in the name of Jesus Christ. Because we have power in the name of Jesus Christ, we must focus on the spirit world and God has given us and say, look at the things above, look at the things
unseen.

07:26 What is it telling us? Look at the things unseen, look at the things unseen. That means why look at the spirit world? Now, of course, to look at the spirit world. We are looking at things like our character first, our conduct, our speech, our
thoughts.

07:46 Now, because the heart will not change until we are renewed in the spirit of our mind, the spirit of our mind, our understanding. False belief has caused a lot of problems. Now back to this relative to self control.

08:05 Now self control means there’s a spirit that’s not a spirit of lack of self control or zero self control. There’s a spirit. This spirit is a wicked spirit.

08:17 It wants you to believe you can do whatever you want and get away. It wants you to believe and make you believe. Because it convinced our heart and mind that we must stand there and do this.

08:28 I can do it this way, I can do it that way. They do this, I will do that. I was like that.

08:34 If they do something that, okay, okay, they’re doing that there. I can do this way. Completely ignoring.

08:40 There is a spirit world and Satan came to steal, kill and destroy, as Jesus Christ has told us. And he said he came to give us more life and life more, more abundantly. And then he said before he left, can you imagine the last words, one of the last
words he spoke before he left in Mark 16.

08:59 Those who believe, teach the good News. Talk about good news. The good news.

09:05 Salvation has come Jesus died on the cross and gave us power. And those who believe these signs will follow. They will cast out evil spirit in my name.

09:14 Now the connection is this. Those who believe in Jesus Christ will cast out evil spirit in his name. Now if we are not casting out evil spirit in his name, that means truly we are not believing enough to cast out.

09:31 And what evil spirit? As I told I’ve had segments earlier there, go and ask the moderators or go to the graceoflife.com There is a page called Power of Christ Daily and all the past recordings are there. Choose that brothers, because you can. And
their topics are there.

09:47 They choose by topics now. So believe what? Believe that Jesus has overcome the world. And we will overcome the world.

09:59 And Jesus is a home for us. He is making. Jesus is coming back.

10:04 Jesus died on the cross and took my sins. And Jesus in his faith, he went down even to hell. He died, he suffered, you know, the heart broke physically.

10:15 The scientists now say that they studied how he was whipped and how he was hung on the cross in such a manner. Finally, this broke off the blood contained in the abdomen. Why physically his heart broke and all the blood collected in his abdomen.

10:34 And that is why when the soldier went and pierced him, blood and water flowed out. He died of a broken heart. Jesus Christ died of a broken heart for me and for you.

10:46 And he rose again. And he says, now come unto me and I shall give you rest. And he said, call on my name and I will answer thee.

10:55 But in my name you will cast out evil spirits from ourselves first. So examining ourselves all the time is a necessary thing so that we prove ourselves and be a part of Christ. Now, lack of self control has caused a lot of problems.

11:09 As I said, marriages are broken, relationships are broken, jobs are lost, money is lost. Without self control, you go buy things, buy things because your neighbor God or your friend God or whatever, you don’t afford it. You cannot afford it.

11:24 You can’t maxing up your credit cards. And finally people are being bankrupted. All that is going on because lack of self control.

11:33 Now self control on the other hand is a wonderful thing. It’s a wonderful thing that God is saying you have self control and you live reject. You can reject ungodliness and worldly immoral passions and desires, you can reject because in the name now
this I think a lot of religions will tell you, like including Christian religion tell you, you know, be godly, don’t have worldly desires and all that, but our heart won’t do.

12:05 So in the name of Jesus, Christ, I command my heart and mind to reject worldly desires, to reject lack of self control in the name of Jesus Christ and to have godliness and to love Jesus Christ and to fulfill the commandments and to take his
prescription in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to believe more and more in Jesus Christ, to love more and more. And I will love all. Because if I love all, I am a son of the most High God.

12:35 It’s so easy. God has given us a prescription to be son of the most High God. You just love your enemy.

12:43 So if you have any enemies, you must purpose in your heart in the name of Jesus Christ. And the mind must be renewed and say, they are captives, Lord, they are captives. The ruler of the world, Satan is confused all of us.

12:56 But thank you Lord for giving me grace and mercy and that I am in you. It is only by your mercy that you have brought me in. Now you try this brothers and sisters.

13:09 You meditate on this self control everything. Before you do something, before you speak, there must be moments of silence. Your thinking.

13:18 You’re thinking before you speak. Thinking what? Thinking what Jesus wants you to say. Now Jesus Christ himself, he says, father, do not let this cup pass through my lips.

13:35 Then he then quickly said again, but let your will be done, not mine. That means he knows he’s going to suffer so much. He’s asking father, can this cup, can this sacrifice not be done this way? Can I be spared of this? All this weeping and tearing
of flesh and tearing of our beard and hanging there and nailed to the cross and ridiculed and put to shame and carry all the sins of mankind.

14:03 And all the demonic forces would come and carry all their curses, all their boils, all their diseases, all their leprosy, all the tuberculosis, all cancer. I carry all that into my body. Can this be done another way? Can I escape from this? Then he
said, but let your will be done, not mine.

14:25 That is self control. That is self control. Self control is wanting God’s way when your flesh, your mind, your heart, your friend, your brother, your neighbor, whoever is telling all that do, do something.

14:40 The boss, the company, your job, all the dictating that you must do something. And then you know that is not what Jesus Christ wants you to do. Because you must be searching scriptures or get godly counsel.

14:54 Somebody will counsel you. Get to the grace of life. Somebody will counsel you.

14:58 It may be even me. But everybody knows that the people who are there in the grace of life, they all have suffered, they’ve come out of it. They are serving the Lord.

15:06 There are pastors, there are servants. They will, oh, they will stop what they’re doing. They will begin.

15:11 They begin to deal with this. They will contact among each other. They’ll talk, they’ll contact me and then say how to help this person, how to help this brother, how to help this sister.

15:20 Because love one another as I have loved you. That’s the second highest commandment. First highest commandment is love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love one another as I have loved you.

15:23 That’s the second highest commandment for believers. Third highest commandment is love your neighbor as yourself. And then we will have great life.

15:42 And why they will stop and do this? Because they have self control. Self control to obey what God has said. Love one another as I have loved you.

15:51 Jesus said, how did he deliver us? He gave up everything for us. So we must be willing to give up our time, our energy and all that, not go and whip ourselves and nailed us back on the cross. No, we are already being when we accepted Christ.

16:05 We have already been crucified in Christ. We already been when we are in Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, wonderful day.

16:12 Amen.
