00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 1st December 2015 titled is a Christian an optimist or a pessimist? Is a Christian optimist or a pessimist? Brothers and sisters, today the 1st of December. Now
we get up every day with hope. Why do we have hope? Because our hope in Christ will never fail.

00:25 That is the word of God. The word of God is hope in Christ will never fail. There is no other scripture anywhere else in the Bible telling that the hope can be in somebody else, the hope can be in something else and it will never fail.

00:39 No, there is only the scriptures, all of the precept of Christ is this. The hope in Christ will never fail. Our hope and faith in Christ, Our faith in Christ will let us live righteousness, peace and joy, joyful life.

00:55 Even things are going wrong. Even when things are going wrong, you will still have righteousness, peace and joy. When things are extremely wrong at a certain point of time and you are pressed all around, you will not be crushed.

01:07 You are struck down, but not destroyed. These are words of God. The words of God are alive and the word of God is Jesus Christ.

01:16 You are perplexed, but never in despair. All kinds of attacks. What amazing what’s going on, what’s going on.

01:24 But never in despair. You won’t get desperate because the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit will hold you. We have experienced this.

01:31 My family has met tragedy and yet we are holding. Our heart was so tremendous tragedy, but yet our hearts were still. And that can only be the spirit of God.

01:45 Jesus Christ, using a spirit, held us perplexed, but not in despair. We were not desperate. Pressed all around, but not crushed.

01:58 We knew we were holding on to that word. You know the words of God. Struck down but not destroyed.

02:05 Brothers and sisters, these words. Whenever things are happening, you have to remember these words. These are the promises and the promises of Christ never fail.

02:13 Hope in Christ never fails. Therefore, when fear comes, cast out fear in the name of Jesus Christ. Fear is the spirit.

02:19 But at the same time you have to examine yourself where any foothold has been given. If you’re given a foothold, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. And of course he is doing that.

02:30 But if you acknowledge your sin, it’s faithful to forgive. Confess your sin and faithful forgive and repent. Repent means turn your mind thinking.

02:40 Thinking the way you’re thinking has to be turned into the right way of thinking. There is only one right way of thinking. The truth is Jesus Christ.

02:48 Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ, 1st of December 2015. Is. Is a Christian an optimist or pessimist? Now, of course, the world will say, and you will also realize being optimist is better than pessimist.

03:04 Now, pessimist, for those who have, who English is not your first language. Pessimist is always looking at gloom and doom, always looking at things go wrong, always thinking things will go wrong. Something will go wrong.

03:16 Something will go wrong. Yeah. This world is terrible.

03:20 This world is terrible. This world is terrible. That you know, nothing will happen, right? Nothing will happen, right? All things going wrong.

03:20 This world is like this, you know, and cynical because older people generally become cynical because they’ve been hammered so long, so long in the world. And then finally when they get older, they already don’t listen to anything new, don’t listen
to anything new, don’t study anything new because they become pessimistic. They became cynical.

03:47 Even they Allah, you can talk like young fellows, but you know, you have not seen life. Life doesn’t work that way. It all go wrong.

03:57 That specific mixed person. Optimism, on the other hand, will say especially good day, Good day, good day. The Australia is good day.

04:07 Tomorrow will be fine, fantastic. It will change. Things will get better.

04:11 Things will get better. And the actual optimist will be planning, planning for the hope and belief that everything will be fine in whatever way it does. That’s optimism.

04:24 Always thinking ahead and planning and thinking whatever. Fine. So there’s some kind of a joy in him or her now.

04:33 So the world will say, be an optimist, don’t be a pessimist. And that’s what all of us have been trained and we will, we believe that. I used to believe that.

04:42 Be optimist, you know, let’s go. There’s a possibility that can be done. This can be done now.

04:47 So which is the conscience supposed to be? Is a Christian supposed to go around and things are going wrong? The world is terrible. Jesus Christ said, there’s trouble in the world. Remember this.

04:57 Our Lord and master, the husband of your soul has already told us clearly there is trouble in the world. There is trouble. Don’t ever think there’s no trouble.

05:06 When trouble comes, Christians get shocked. Shocked, you know, they’re shocked, they get shocked and they’re shocked. And I used to be shocked at just being shocked.

05:12 I used to get shocked and say, why are they shocked when Jesus already said there will be trouble in this world if they do not know the word of God, they do not know the husband of your soul. They do not know what the husband of your soul has said.
He said that there is trouble in the world.

05:37 There will be trouble in the world. He has told that you know there will be trouble in the world. And therefore when people get shocked, I get shocked.

05:47 That means they do not know this word. They are Christians, but they do not know what Jesus has said. They are being told or falsely believed or falsely mistakenly believed.

05:57 Or the congregation or the pastor, whoever teaching them has never told them the scripture. That Jesus Christ, the husband of your soul, our Lord and master, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Son of the living God, has said there will be
trouble in this world. But of course, the next verse we must also remember.

06:18 But be of good cheer. I have overcome this world command, you know, be of good cheer. I’ve overcome this world.

06:27 So sadly, many Christians do not know there’ll be trouble in the world. So when they’re walking life because they believe this, be optimist, be optimist. Sudden trouble comes, they don’t know how to handle it.

06:36 They shock their crushed in their faith and many backslide the time. Oh, Jesus never do for me. God never takes care of me.

06:45 I followed Jesus so long already. Nothing happened. No, look at this problem I’m facing now.

06:49 I served Jesus so long. There are servants who are backslided. Can you imagine? They say I’ve served Jesus so long and so much.

06:57 I gave my life to him. You see what has happened now, why he didn’t take care? A tragedy in my family. My son, my daughter, this has happened.

07:06 My husband, my wife, this has happened. I serve Jesus Christ faithfully. Brothers and sisters, do not ever talk like this.

07:13 Please, I beg you. I beg you. That’s the word.

07:15 I beg you, please do not talk like this. You’re talking against the living God. You’re talking against the living God.

07:18 You’re talking against one who actually suffered and died for you and sacrificed everything for you. And you are talking against that God, the Almighty God, the Son of the living God. Do not talk like this.

07:39 Humble yourself to know when trouble comes. Remember this. Jesus already told us there will be trouble in the world.

07:47 But be of good cheer. How to be of good cheer? Start worshipping. But first examine yourself.

07:52 Did we sow? And we are reaping this? Many times Christians sow into something and they reap that. When they are reaping that, they are still thinking what happened? Why Jesus Christ didn’t save me. Now settle me.

08:06 No. When you sow, you will reap. Jesus has put the law.

08:09 What you sow, you will Reap. But don’t talk against Jesus Christ. Always talk about your heart and mind which has gone wrong.

08:17 It is us, brother. I am the problem, not Jesus Christ, not God. I am the problem.

08:24 Now, brothers and sisters, today the question is, are we going to be optimists or pessimists? Now remember, of course, pessimists, gloom and doom. Cannot you only invite more problems? Because when you begin to think gloom and doom, gloom and doom,
gloom and doom. Everything bad will be attracted to you.

08:41 Of course. But so being an optimist is it. Christians should be optimist.

08:48 The world will say, everything will be fine tomorrow. Everything there the thing will change and all that. Now, brothers and sisters, let’s look at some scriptures.

08:59 John 14:17. The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot see and take to its heart because it does not see him or know him. But you know him.

09:11 Because the Holy Spirit remains with you continually and will be in you. Can you imagine? The world cannot see the spirit of truth. So we need to get the spirit of truth.

09:23 That’s the Holy Spirit. First we have to live in truth. Jesus is the truth, I am the way, the truth and life.

09:29 You come to the way that is Jesus Christ. You begin to must follow the truth, accept the truth, and then only examine yourself brutally, truthfully, truthfully. Brutal.

09:41 You think exactly how wrong you are. What are wrong? What is your heart doing? What you are. Like a clinically true.

09:48 Look at yourself clinically, truthful. Like a clinician, like a doctor. Yes, this is wrong.

09:53 This is wrong. This is wrong. This is okay.

09:54 This is okay. This organ is fine. That organ is fine.

09:55 This organ is in trouble. We have to deal with it clinically, truthful, look at yourself in the spirit. You look at yourself, examine yourself clinically, truthfully, and then you will know what is wrong with you.

10:10 But to examine that, ask Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus. I ask the Holy Spirit to show me all the areas which is wrong in my heart and I want to change. Am I impatient? Am I getting angry? Is it a spirit of anger that’s coming on me?
Or there is inherent anger in me? Is there unforgiveness in me? Is there a spirit of unforgiveness that has caught me and I am unable to forgive? Then we can use the name of Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ.

10:38 Wash the heart, command the heart and mind to forgive and love for our own sake. Because when we have unforgiveness in us, the water also will change. The water structure will change and will go into Illness, all kind of problems.

10:52 So now those are other segments. So many segments there, brothers and sisters. Go to the grace of life.

10:57 There is a website, web page, a page called Power of Christ. Go there and look at the details. Call people, talk to them or email them.

11:06 They’ll send you the list. So many. 180 over recordings.

11:11 I think so, brothers and sisters, and you know each one, something will happen because of words of God, but you know him because the Holy Spirit remains with you continually and be in you. Now remember, we have the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth
inside us continually. Now we must walk in the truth now.

11:32 2nd Corinthians 4, 4. Up among them the God of this world, that Satan God is calling, Almighty God is calling this Satan God of this world. Remember that has blinded not the God of the earth, Earth belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ, but the world.

11:49 The world system, the way the world thinks has blinded the minds of the unbelieving who has it blinded the minds of the unbelieving, unbelieving world in Jesus Christ, in the truth of Jesus Christ to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light
of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. So God of this world, Satan has blinded the eyes of the unbelieving. If they don’t want to believe in Jesus Christ, the scales cannot fall down.

12:20 The scales must fall down by them turning to Jesus Christ. And that can only happen when you’re brokenhearted and contrite spirit. God says, if you’re brokenhearted, he is near to save.

12:31 If you have contrite spirit, he saves. Proverbs 3, 5, 6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight in all this.

12:42 The Catholic version I’m reading earlier I read amplified, amplified, both amplified. Now the Catholic version. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight in all your ways.

12:53 Acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight or straight your paths. So our path will only become straight when we trust in the Lord. Trust in the precepts of God, Trust in the precepts of Jesus Christ.

13:08 What he told us in the words of Jesus Christ, with all our heart and not to rely on our own mind, our own thinking. Don’t rely on own thinking, because and then when we do that and acknowledge him in all your ways, then our path becomes straight.
Now then there is time for optimism.

13:29 Therefore there’s in James 4, 13, 15, there are a couple of fellows going, say today or tomorrow we’ll go to that town, make big profit make big business and all that. And what will? And then we can keep it. And then nothing we need for rest of our
life.

13:44 But God said, look here, you’re merely a vapor, like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot that is visible for a little while, this is amplified, that is visible for a little while and then vanishes into thin air. Instead, you ought
to say, if the Lord wills. If the Lord wills, by the mercy of Christ, by Jesus, by grace of God, we will live and we will do this or that.

14:08 But if you say, I’ll go and do this and that and all. But of course, you have optimists. You have been trained to be optimistic.

14:14 Optimism, the way the world tells, does not work. Why? So you should not. A Christian should not be an optimist or a pessimist, for want of a better word.

14:25 I think a good word would be if we can create a new word. Christimist. Christimist.

14:33 Looks odd, sounds odd. Christimist instead of optimist. Pessimist.

14:40 Christy missed. I think that’s a better word. We must be Christy missed.

14:44 Why? Because Satan came to steal, kill and destroy. The ruler of the world is still there. He is now damaging people, damaging the world.

14:53 And friendship with the world is enmity with God. Why? Friendship with the world means you are submitting to Satan, the God of this world. Therefore, don’t follow the way the world says.

15:02 The world will say things about education, the world will say things about medicine, the state will. World will say about things of everything. Take a pill.

15:07 Take a pill. Take a pill. Pharmacological giants are holding the world at the medical world ransom.

15:14 Now the world system, if you follow the world system and not go to Christ first. Did I say not to take a pill? No, go to Christ first. Ask him.

15:24 And when you begin to hear Christ, then you know you have to take it in faith in Christ. God say, God allows this to take. This is good for you.

15:31 Then take the pill, then go to the hospital. But if you go on yourself, I’m optimist, I will go. You know what happened to Angelina Jolie? Oh, first pessimist, you know, there’s a 70% chance of breast cancer.

15:45 Breast cancer. And then after that, he said, okay, I’m an optimist, I’ll remove my breast mastectomy. And she also removed the ovaries.

15:54 And then she thinks he’s optimist, everything is fine. But now, poor woman, I think she’s suffering some cancer or something, you know, and she look at the countenance and the physical and all pitiful. She’s a captive.

16:06 Well, if you think of her. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind the spirit of death over Angelina Jolie and ask for mercy for her, Lord. Lord Jesus Christ, I ask for mercy for her.

16:16 I plead the blood of Jesus on Angelina from head to toe and surround her with fire of the Holy Ghost. Fire of the Holy Ghost. Lord, Let her spiritual eyes be opened and she turned to you.

16:26 No matter what captivity or whatever she’s doing. Lord. Lord.

16:30 Mercy, Lord. Likewise all of us. Go to the Lord.

16:34 Trust not in your own understanding, but in Jesus Christ. And let’s be a Christ optimist. The devil still steal from the fellows.

16:43 You can be optimist. Ha ha. No, no, it’s not going to work.

16:46 Because the devil can steal, kill and destroy. And he is not. So the optimist fellows have forgotten the third party player.

16:52 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray all of us become Christ. Amen. Amen.
