00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 16 October 2015 Fear God or fear or love God? Fear God or love God? Now this used to be a good big confusion for me. Even when I first came to the Lord, this used
a confusion. But I decided, look, fear God and love him at the same time. So I decided that because whatever God says is true.

00:27 But when people ask me this or when I ask people that, why God saying fear God and also love God? What’s going on? People can’t understand, they can’t answer. So they got a confusion here. That is why we have to look at the whole counsel of God.

00:46 The whole counsel of God is in the Bible. We cannot take piecemeal one scripture and then decide that this is what it says. We cannot do that.

00:54 Because we do that, we will fall into big error and make ourselves a mess. That is why today, God is leading me today to talk about this. And this is a very important topic.

01:06 Because you as servants, as pastors, as ministers, as children of God, as saints, whoever you talk to, you must be able to answer these things and secondly, apply it yourselves. Fear God or love God. First of all, let’s look at the fear God part.

01:24 Proverbs 1:7. I’m reading from King James Version. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

01:32 But fools despise wisdom and instruction. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. That means if we don’t have fear of God, the Lord Jesus Christ or God Almighty God, Almighty Father God and Jesus Christ are one.

01:47 That priesthood has been settled long ago. If you don’t have fear of the Lord, then there’s no knowledge. That means if you have leaders of a country, any country for the matter in the world, there are hundreds of countries, hundred of our
countries.

02:02 So if you don’t have fear of God, these people don’t have. The leader doesn’t have fear of God, then obviously he won’t have knowledge and then he will do all kinds of wrong things, thereby praying for people to have wisdom. Especially there are
people praying for people for the leaders to have wisdom.

02:24 It is not useful. But to pray for the leaders of a country to have fear of God, to fear of God. Because you pray Lord Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus, even his name as Christ, please give them wisdom.

02:39 God will say it’s against my word. They must first fear God. So sometimes people say, I pray that the leaders of this country or that country have wisdom to run the country properly.

02:51 Brothers and sisters, God’s word is clear. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Actually, some translation will tell you wisdom.

02:53 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. How to have this? So when we pray for leaders of country, leaders, Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that the leaders of this country, or whichever country you are in,
to have fear of God. Fear of God.

03:15 Okay, now this fear of God. Now. Luke 12:4 5.

03:17 Luke 12:4 5. I’m reading from the Catholic edition. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill.

03:27 This is Jesus Christ talking. This is Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God. The husband of my soul is telling me.

03:35 I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that can do nothing more. But I warn you to whom you should fear. I will warn you whom to fear.

03:48 Fear him who after he has killed, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. In fact, some persons go on to say, destroy both body and soul in hell.

04:02 Destroy both body and soul. I fear him who can destroy after killing, you can destroy your body and soul and you can destroy everything. Fear Him.

04:12 This is what the various translations tell you. Do not fear those who can kill your body, because who can kill your body? The human beings and also demons can kill your body. If you are not having protection of Jesus Christ, you do not have
protection of Jesus Christ.

04:29 The demons, the devil can kill your body. But do not fear these fellows. Do not fear the human being.

04:34 Do not fear the devil. Because if you come to Christ, of course he gives you power over the devil. Do not fear these people, these human beings and the devil, because whom you should actually fear is fear Almighty God, who can also kill your body if
he wants.

04:51 But he’s not going to do that. This age of dispensation is giving allowance for all of us to turn to him and come through His Son who has died on the cross and given us his blood to wash away our sin. And he took our sins to believe in His Son so
that.

05:07 So the age of dispensation is giving us a chance to turn to God through Jesus Christ. By letting Jesus Christ, believing in him, who took our sins, and then God and we are reconciled. So fear God who can kill your body, can kill your soul, can kill
everything, destroy you in hell.

05:24 Fear Him. Now. So this comes to the issue, how come now? Fear God or love God? Love God with all your heart.

05:35 Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself and you will live now. So which is which? Brothers and sisters, this is no more a dilemma.

05:46 Listen. If you listen attentively, go back, praise Jesus Christ, take the scriptures, take the emails and read the scriptures and make it understand yourself. Because in this 15 minutes, what I can do, I can tell you here and there, you meditate on
the scriptures and you become that.

06:03 God will bless you, Jesus Christ will bless you. Brothers and sisters, just you read the scriptures, meditate on your actions, your conduct to see whether you’re fitting there or not. And command your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ, to
do what the Scripture tells you.

06:16 Become a doer of the word. You are blessed. You will be blessed.

06:20 This is a guarantee. This is guaranteed. Not from me.

06:22 Guaranteed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of the living God, who cannot lie because he is the truth. Brothers and sisters, now we look at. There are two sections here.

06:33 First of all, before we came to the Lord Jesus Christ, before we came to God, we were doing, I take, I was doing my own thing, doing whatever. All sin did not even have a concept of sin. Many times there are sins I’ll consider as right, you know,
can you imagine? There are times I have my own logic, because there’s a logic, you know, there’s a philosophy.

06:53 Here we create ourselves. I’ll read some philosophies and create something for myself. One philosophy was to overcome temptation is to first commit it.

07:02 That means if I’m tempted, the only way to overcome temptation is do it. That means I’m tempted to drink. Booze means go and drink it and the temptation is over.

07:12 Can you imagine that stupidity I was in, but made sense to me at the time, you know, it made perfect sense. Yeah, I cannot take it. I must drink.

07:20 Oh, I must go and do lustful things, lecherous things, Sexual immorality. To overcome sexual immorality, sexual temptation. How to overcome is go and commit it.

07:31 Can you imagine the damnation I was creating for myself? Yeah, I finally got into a real mess because sin was begin to harm me. And merciful God turned me to Jesus Christ. So this kind of stupidity will happen in the world.

07:47 People will come with all kind of philosophies and all that. Oh, don’t fear God. There are people in Christendom.

07:53 No, don’t fear God. God is love. God is love.

07:56 Don’t fear God. But why did Jesus say fear him? Jesus Christ saying, you know the word of God. So these people and some people will push away, they say, no, no, no, God is love.

08:08 Even your sin and all Is okay, that’s not true. 1 John 3, 8, 9 Reading from the Catholic version, everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil. 1 John 3:8, 9 Everyone commits sin as a child of the devil.

08:23 9 He says, those who have been born of God do not sin. This means practicing sin. That’s why I’ll read From Amplified Now.

08:29 First John 3, 8, 9. He who commits sin, who practices evil doing, is of the devil takes character practicing sin or takes character from the evil one. For the devil has sinned and violated the divine law from the beginning.

08:43 The reason the Son of God has made manifest visible was to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works of the devil. You see, Jesus came to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works of the devil, which the devil already done. 9.

08:58 No one born or begotten of God deliberately, knowingly and habitually practices sin. So there are two elements here. Before we come to the God Almighty, we are in sin, we are committing sin.

09:10 We must fear God. And fearing God is the beginning of all wisdom and knowledge. Means when we begin to fear God, we begin to wanting fear God, what God will do and all that.

09:20 Then we begin to now know the knowledge of the truth. We go to God, we want to be reconciled with him. We want the sin to stop.

09:27 We don’t want the sin anymore. But then we know by then we are realizing because fear of God is the beginning of knowledge and the wisdom means we begin to realize that, hey, sin is harming me. I’m in a mess.

09:39 So then what we do? We go to God and we get washed by Jesus Christ. Then what happens? Then now we are in God, we are with God. And of course we won’t practice sin because we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and master.

09:53 If those who are sincerely in the heart have accepted Jesus Christ, the Lord and master and Saviour, and believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again and took our sins. Those who sincerely believe this in the heart will not continue
practicing sin. The Holy Spirit would have come.

10:10 And whenever you’re going to sin, or even you sin, there’ll be conviction. There will be a distress in your soul and you will say, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord. You begin to ask for forgiveness straight away now.

10:22 But if those who are continuing sinning and still say they’re Christians, they are actually liars. God calls them liars. But actually what has happened, they don’t believe in their heart that Jesus Christ their Lord and master, that Jesus Christ
took their sins, that Jesus Christ empowered them to overcome sin.

10:38 That Jesus Christ has given them power to cast out evil spirit. Now, in the name of Jesus Christ, you have cast out every evil spirit of temptation. You can cast it out in the name of Jesus Christ.

10:49 Many segments I’ve been teaching this for so long. That’s how I also stopped sinning. I cast out in the name of Jesus Christ.

10:56 I stopped sinning first because mercy came and stopped sin. All washed away. And then I’m not tempted, but finally temptation coming.

11:04 I cast out in Jesus Christ’s name. In the name of Jesus Christ. We have to cast out all those who believe in Christ are given power to cast out evil spirit.

11:12 And they will cast out evil spirit. That’s what Jesus says now. So if we.

11:16 There’s another scripture in Hebrews 10:26, in Hebrews 10:26, this is talking to Christians Apostle Paul writing for if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning, so if somebody calls himself Christian now, as a Christian, what we are, we love
God. Oh, as a Christian, we can love God. We love God without fear.

11:39 Why, he has washed us of all our sins. We don’t fear God. We love Jesus Christ.

11:45 He loves us. God is love, and we receive his love. And we change.

11:49 We change. Now there are some who have not believed in their heart that Jesus Christ, the Lord and Master, who do not believe that Jesus Christ and do not use the power of Jesus Christ, of course, in the name of Jesus Christ, casting out evil and
temptation, commanding their heart in the name of Jesus Christ, they can command our heart and mind to obey the word of God. All that they’re not doing, and then they continue, oh, nothing is okay.

12:12 We can sin on and on. And many times I’ve heard preachings, just pushing this Hebrews 10:26 and 27 aside and saying it’s nothing, it’s not for you. So telling people literally you can continue sinning willfully and deliberately and nothing going to
happen to you.

12:27 No, when God’s word says something going to happen to you, you better open your eyes and your heart, eyes of your heart and eyes of your understanding and begin to take it in. And those who are born of God will take it in. Those who are not born of
God, as the Bible itself says in John 3, 8, 9, that you continue committing sin means you’re born of the devil.

12:48 Then you will not understand. I pray everyone who is listening to this stop for a moment and now examine yourself. Are you continuing the sin? If you continue the sin, you have not made your heart understand and believe in Jesus Christ completely.

13:04 Now we Love Jesus Christ. We don’t want to sin because we don’t grieve him. Now let’s say we are already.

13:11 Take me, even Hebrews 10:20. If I now start going willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth. Truth is what Jesus Christ.

13:20 After receiving the knowledge of Jesus Christ, I go on doing this. What happens, you can only expect. No longer there’s a sacrifice for sin.

13:28 God says in 26, there no longer remains a sacrifice of sin to atone for our sins. The no more sacrifice. Burning candles and putting flowers and putting incense.

13:38 He said, no, no, all this is not going to work. The sacrifice, only sacrifice for sin was on the cross. Jesus Christ died as an atonement for all our sins.

13:49 Now we burn candles, we put incense and all that. Remember this. It’s action you want to do.

13:55 You do. But the point again is you do not go. And of course God says, do not go and pray to idols and all that.

14:03 The other thing, do not pray to idols and all. So if anybody trying to pray to idols, please, brothers and sisters, careful. So now the thing is, we now accept Jesus Christ.

14:16 God said, worship me in truth. I am spirit. God is spirit.

14:20 Worship me in truth. Truth and spirit. God’s commander.

14:25 God says, I am spirit. God is spirit. Worship God in spirit and in truth.

14:30 Jesus Christ himself says that. And it says that in different ways in different places in the Bible. So now we must worship Jesus Christ in truth, in worship.

14:39 That means, you see, therefore, if we don’t have candles, if we don’t have incense, if we don’t have flowers, okay, no problem. You are worshipped first in spirit and in truth. There are people who can’t afford next meal.

14:50 This current meal they can’t afford. So how are they going to buy all this? They worship in spirit and in truth. Worship in spirit and in truth.

14:58 So now. So what do you do here? Now he says, if I go willfully and deliberately sin, there’s no more atonement for sin. That means the blood sacrifice on the cross cannot be applied for me.

15:10 But what I can expect, he says, but kind of awful and terrifying expectation of divine judgment, the fury of fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries. Brothers and sisters, if you say you’re a Christian. If I say I’m Christian, I
continue deliberately, willfully sinning.

15:31 I better fear God because there is already written in Hebrews that I can only expect an awful and terrifying expectation of divine judgment. The fury of a fire and burning rot which will consume the adversaries now this is a difference between Love
God, fear God Love God, fear God we need our wisdom and we continue sinning we better fear God Fear God and fear God don’t fear the man, don’t fear the devil because they can only kill your body God says the other God can do everything, destroy
everything so now but once we come to Jesus Christ we love God, we love God Love Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray all of you have understood this and we pray and worship Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth wherever we are.

16:16 Those who are listening to this. Sometimes you’re so broke, so broken and no money, no nothing even to take a bus to church maybe. Oh, but somebody has given you this script and you’re hearing Worship Jesus Christ with spirit and in truth wherever
you are he accepts and receives your heartfelt prayer in the name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen.
