00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 30-11-2015 titled how does your first love love you? How does your first love love you? Of course, our first love. My first love. Your first love is God is Jesus
Christ. Jesus Christ is our first love.

00:25 It is, it has to be. And it’s only remember we are dealing with your first love or my first love a couple of days back. And the Bible says in Revelation, Jesus says, you have lost your first love.

00:40 You lost your first love and how far you have fallen from how high you have fallen. Present sisters, today, let’s quickly recap some of the issues because these are important issues. To get back to the first love, how we have left our first love.

00:57 To get back to our first love, we have to have first works. First works is the work of God. And what is the work of God? Believing in the One whom He sent.

01:11 Just believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth in every occasion and every event is having our first love first. We have not lost our first love if we do the work of God. And the work of God is believing in Jesus Christ, believing in His Word, leaning
on the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ.

01:33 Who is Jesus Christ? So what is believing? Believing is simply not simply say I believe. I believe. Believing includes a number of things.

01:42 Believing, adhere to, adhering to, completely relying on, trusting in. These are all part of believing. As I’ve told before, the problem with that word believe is the old English or the old Hebrews and the Asian texts have a deeper meaning.

02:01 Asian words have a deeper meaning than the English which just says believe, brothers and sisters. The other thing is there’s no problem if you have left your first love by identifying this issue. Repent.

02:13 Ask Jesus for forgiveness and repent. What is repent? Turning away from our old way of thinking first, turning away from our old way of thinking and our sinful behavior and changing from inner self. And changing actually happens by God changes us.

02:29 The Word of God changes us. How does the Word of God change us? By looking at the Word of God, by reading the Word of God, by meditating on the Word of God and especially before you fall asleep, you’re thinking of the issues that you have done which
are not pleasing to Christ. Asking repentance.

02:45 You should have done it straight away. When you know the Holy Spirit convicts you that whatever you’re doing, whatever you’re about to do is not of Christ, it is not pleasing to God. It is actually going to harm ourselves.

02:56 When the conviction comes, we have to Stop and repent. Stop, Stop. No need to repent first because you have not done it.

03:04 And command the temptation to get out. In the name of Jesus Christ. In the spirit of Jesus Christ.

03:06 In the name of Jesus Christ. I command every wicked, unclean spirit get out of me. In the name of Jesus Christ.

03:06 In the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to reject this temptation to think of holy things. And then we move on because it will leave.

03:06 In the name of Jesus Christ. If you do not even know that prayer. Blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus.

03:29 And you are thinking you want to do the right thing. Jesus empowers you. The spirit of God will empower you.

03:35 There’s no issue. That is why Jesus came to empower us so we can live life well and lead a holy life. Holy life is not exceptionally sitting in the mountaintop and away from people and all that.

03:49 No, we are supposed to be. We are not of this earth, but we are from this earth, from the world. We are not of this world, but we are in the world.

03:59 God says we are not of this world, but we are in the world. Not going to hide. How to witness to people about the goodness of Jesus Christ and give them a chance to be saved.

04:09 If we are not going to be in the world, we have to be in the world. We have to mix with people, we have to go to functions, but we have to be led by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit has to lead you.

04:20 Otherwise we can put ourselves in real trouble by going to every function without asking Jesus Christ and then messing ourselves there. Don’t want your. The first love must determine our action.

04:32 My first love, that is Jesus Christ, must determine what I do and not do. Brothers and sisters, this. This important.

04:41 Is important. That is we from time to time. I’ve told you all how I have left the first love and.

04:49 And what a ridiculous. What a terrible human being I was a number of occasions. Not only that, but God reminds us.

04:57 The Holy Spirit reminds me. Remember the other day I was talking about, I think it was yesterday whereby I said, whose shame are you? Whose shame are you talking about? He is. Then I broke.

05:08 Broke down because the reason is that what kind of human being I was, he did so much to get me out of mess. And my heart forgets all that, you know, forgets all that. And it happened to all of us.

05:22 But fear not or fear not because Jesus has set a way. And the Holy Spirit is the one who teaches us, who guides us from inside and changes from inside. When we begin to meditate on the Word.

05:35 As you keep looking at the Word and meditating, the word of God, who is Jesus Christ, will change you from inside today, brothers and sisters. How does your first love love you? How does my first love, that Jesus Christ love love me? How does he
love me now? Then we will have a pattern and see how he loves me. And am I actually anywhere near that kind of love to give to Him? I want to love him with all my heart, mind, soul and strength.

06:03 We’ll take Isaiah 54:10. We are taking some Old Testament here also because that’s the character of God. The character of God has not changed.

06:13 What is the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament? Is the Old Testament Jesus Christ? The New Testament Word of God has called it the ministry of death. The Old Testament and the New Testament is called the ministry of life.
Jesus himself said it.

06:27 There is a segment I have recorded by God’s mercy. Go and listen to that. The reason is the Old Testament has told you what to do and what not to do.

06:36 But we couldn’t do it. Human beings couldn’t do it. That is why people end up as a minister of death.

06:42 People couldn’t. They all getting messed up, you know. So Jesus came and gave us power.

06:48 Now whatever we have been told to do, we can do because we have power in the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of Jesus Christ, we can do now. Isaiah 54:10. I’m reading from the Catholic version.

07:01 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed. But my steadfast love shall not depart from you. And my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

07:18 Now just look at that. The mountains may be departed. Mountains may move and leave.

07:23 The hills may be removed. Earthquakes can take place. Anything can happen.

07:28 But my steadfast love shall not depart from you. This comes back in the New Testament. Nothing can separate us from the love of God now.

07:40 This is how he loves us. Can you imagine? He’s saying all that can move. The mountains can go, the hills can be removed.

07:46 My steadfast love shall not depart from you. If you just think of this and command our heart and mind to know. He loves me.

07:52 He loves me. And the proof is on the cross. He was on the cross.

07:58 Now thank Jesus Christ he rose again and he seated at the right hand side of Father God. And I’m inside him and he is in me. There’s enough scriptures for all that.

08:08 And he loves me. He loves me. So I can now love boldly.

08:15 I can love why? Because no matter what happens, his love is more than enough for each of us. Why? He is Almighty God. He can do anything and everything, but he will only do the right and just thing.

08:31 He will only do the right and just thing. Now, Jeremiah 31:3. The Lord has appeared of old unto me.

08:38 The ancient of days refers to God saying, yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Yes, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.

08:46 Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you. Now this is reflected in the New Testament whereby it says, before the foundation of the world, I knew you because he created us before the foundation
of the world.

09:14 And as a spirit being our spirit being the soul also. Now before the foundation of the world. Foundation of the world, I have loved you and I’ve drawn you with a loving kindness.

09:22 I’ve drawn you and that happened to me. I was a blasphemer using four letter words on God and can you imagine? Yet he has loved me with an everlasting love and drawn me with loving kindness. I have experienced this.

09:43 You have experienced this. Only thing you may not identify you better identify some issues of sin you’ve been committing. Anything you have done against Jesus Christ or God by doing so many things you have done.

09:56 We have done idolatry. I’ve done idolatry. We have gone.

10:00 I’ve gone to the Vomo shaman Shaman in the in the Malaysian context the shaman for fellows would give you some charm and all to help us. We have gone and I’ve gone and done things that didn’t is sin against God. And I’ve done things sin against my
wife, breaking marriage covenant and that’s again sin against God.

10:22 Because marriage covenant God holds in one of the highest regards. So yet he has drawn me, he knows because he loved me with an everlasting love. He loves you with an everlasting love.

10:38 Now, Ephesians 2, 4, 5 I’m reading from the Jewish Bible just Now the Jeremiah 31 I read from King James Version Ephesians 2, 4, 5 complete Jewish Bible But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love. I’ll read that again Ephesians
2, 4. But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love.

11:10 This is a direct translation from the Jewish Bible means the translating from Hebrew now that even when we were dead even when we were dead in fact could be Hebrew or Aramaic brothers and sisters. So remember that the Jews used of those days were
using both. Jesus used Aramaic most of the time anyway.

11:32 But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such an intense love that even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, I was dead in the spirit. My spirit was dead because of sin. It’s clear in the New Testament we were all dead.

11:49 Our spirit man was all. When they say you were dead, your spirit man was dead because the spirit man was dead. Because we have committed sin.

11:56 All of us, all have fallen short of the glory of God because they have sinned. All have sinned. I mean all human beings.

12:03 Everyone who was given birth and the genealogy from Adam and Eve coming down. Genealogy is coming down. The line is coming down.

12:12 All of us were given birth from human contact. A man or woman gets union and then they form a child born of the flesh. The woman’s egg and the husband, the wife’s egg and the husband’s sperm get together, join together by God’s mercy and a child is
formed, a fetus is formed and this is a human birth born flesh.

12:40 Everyone was born out of flesh like that. Has already sinned somewhere on the line. Even we didn’t have.

12:47 We have the genetic of sin. That means the lineage of sin. That means we have a nature of sin.

12:53 A baby baby is holy. Every child is holy. Therefore a child dies, goes straight back to God.

13:01 Now every child is holy, but the child has a nature of sin. Why the nature of sin? The nature started when Adam and Eve sinned. The nature comes down, the nature of sin comes down.

13:14 And because of the nature of sin, every one of us, from a very young age, we begin to sin. So Jesus says, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Therefore he has come to save us now.

13:27 But here, look. He loved us. Such an intense love when we were dead in sin.

13:33 Now he says when we are dead in sin, he brought us to life along with the Messiah. Along the Messiah. They will say he brought us to life along with the Messiah.

13:43 He brought us to life through Jesus Christ. What a wonderful God it is by grace that you have been delivered. Isaiah 49, 15:16.

13:55 King James can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of a womb? God is asking this question. Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of a womb? Yea, they may
forget. Yet I will not forget thee.

14:18 Yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. Now let’s Listen to this again, brothers and sisters, let’s see how he loves us.

14:30 God is asking, will a woman, that means a mother, forget a suckling child? A child who is sucking milk out of her, will she forget the child? God says yes, he may forget, they may forget, but I will not forget you. So this fantastic for those who
have lost their mothers, who are young age, babies or children, they lost their mothers, they lost their fathers. Whoever God, the father remembers you, thinks of you, he loves you and what he has done with that.

15:02 In Isaiah 49:16, he says the next verse. I have graven thee upon the palms of my hand. He said, I have drawn.

15:11 I’ve cut your face, your image. I’ve cut it on the palm of my hand. That means he’s graven it.

15:17 You know, he has engraved it. Graven means engraved. He’s engraved my image in the palm of his hand.

15:25 Can you imagine? He engraved your image in the palm of his hand. Brothers and sisters, just take a moment and think. He loves you so much.

15:36 He said, a suckling, breastfeeding mother can forget the son of her womb. But I will not forget you. I have graven you upon the palms of my hand.

15:50 Can you take a moment, close your eyes and think about this. Brothers and sisters, he has taken your face. Look at yourself mirror.

15:56 When you look at the mirror in future now tell you he’s not talking about the physical condition of our face and all that. He’s talking about our spirit. Our spirit.

16:06 Our spirit. Because he gave us life. Our spirit is our spirit from God.

16:10 Therefore, he says, you are made in the image of God. Each of us were made in the image of God. God.

16:14 Each of us are made in the image of God. So the Spirit. Now of course we have some form.

16:25 I believe there’s scriptures to back this up. But there’s always any Scripture can have arguments, brothers and sisters, but we have some form that each of us can recognize each other because of the character and other things. So although our bodies
may weaken and gone and all that, but remember this, he has taken some.

16:46 I cannot fully understand this also what is graving there. But he has graven you and me into his palm of his hand. That’s how much he loves us.

16:55 In Jesus name I pray Amen.
