00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 31st December 2015 how to overcome Temptation how to overcome Temptation Brothers and sisters, this is an important topic because the fundamental. First of all,
you have to go back to the fundamental. If someone is practicing sin, on and on and on, the same sin or any other sin, practicing sin, then the question arises whether they are actually born again.

00:31 Born of the Spirit. Born of the Spirit means you are trusting in Christ, you are believing in your heart, you are confessed with your mouth that you are a sinner, you have sinned and all that. And whenever it happens, whenever you fall in sin, it
can happen because we are still in the world and we are being transformed from glory to glory.

00:53 But if you do sin immediately, there is a conviction. The Holy Spirit will be convicting you and you will feel terrible. Not because people have found out about you or there are consequences to the sin.

01:04 Because what you sow, you will reap that will take place. And not because of that. Because you sinned against Christ, you sinned against Christ, you sinned against somebody.

01:15 Suppose it is an adultery thing like what I was before I was born again, it sinned again. When I became born again, I knew I sinned against my wife. I caused a lot of harm to my family.

01:27 You are feeling remorse because of what you’re doing and causing trouble to other people. You have caused this kind of problem. That comes not because, oh, I’ve been found out, so I feel terrible.

01:38 So I want to get out of the sin. That’s not going to continue. It’s not going to work.

01:43 First you have to check whether you actually are born of the Spirit. Born of the Spirit means your heart believes that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And he died for you and rose again.

01:54 He suffered and took all your punishment, all your curses, all your sins, and was all that nailed on the cross and he went to Hell for you and rose again. You have to check that portion, the first portion first. Start the first step.

02:10 Do you really believe Jesus Christ is the King of Kings? Is it your Lord and Master? Is he really your Lord and Master? Because he may be a Lord and Master in some parts and may not Lord and Master in other parts. Then it’s not your Lord and Master.
There is no, no half Lord and master, half, no Lord and Master.

02:28 He is your Lord and Master for all those born again. He is our Lord and Master, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. What he says is final.

02:38 So to lean on his words to look for his scriptures, to lean on it, to believe in him. Because the word of God is Jesus Christ, the son of the living God, brothers and sisters. So first you have to examine yourself in that and look at all the sins
that we are committing so that we do not repeat these things.

02:59 Because temptation comes out first of all, remember, the familiar spirit will begin to talk to your heart. Our hearts are fallen nature. The familiar spirit will be assigned to you.

03:11 A demon will begin to talk to your heart, to tempt your heart to do something. But after a while it has become your second nature to sin, to sin and sin. Because you keep on forgetting about Jesus Christ, forgetting about sin, forgetting about
harming people.

03:26 The three commandments. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love one another as I’ve loved you.

03:33 That is for the congregation, the followers of Christ among each other. Love your neighbor as yourself and you will live. So you have to check, are you loving your neighbor as yourself? If you are not loving your neighbor as yourself, then obviously
you are not wanting to or you really do not know.

03:51 Maybe you are not born again. Now brothers and sisters, first you have to decide that are you really born again? You want to be born again or not? You want to turn to Christ and say, from today I dedicate my life completely to you. You are my king
and master, Lord.

04:07 Whatever you say, Lord, I will obey. I want to obey. First there’s a purposing in your heart.

04:12 There’s a scripture of a giving that when you give what you purpose in your heart, same thing. The purpose in your heart is important. The purposing in your heart is important.

04:22 So you purpose in your heart to be a child of God. To love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. And love one another as he has loved us.

04:31 And love your neighbour as yourself. You purpose that first. That is the conduct that will show that whether your heart is actually believed and you are actually born again.

04:42 Now next thing is to remember scripture. First is to check your heart whether you are born again. Really.

04:49 If not, you have to go and do something. Go to Jesus. Go to Jesus.

04:53 There’s nobody can help you. Everybody can teach you, including me. That’s all you can do.

04:58 But finally the reason is yours. God does not override your will. Your will is with you.

05:04 You override your heart and mind. God wants you to override your heart and mind. And that we can do it by the blood of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ, we can override.

05:13 Now first Peter 5:8. So there is hope. There Is hope.

05:17 Because he has died and given his blood to us. He has given us his name. He has given us his name.

05:23 And we go and do these things. Oh, cannot become all right. We can overcome.

05:29 Why? Because he has given, suffered like that to give us this. And he says we can. That means he can.

05:34 When Jesus says you can, you can. He says, if the truth first. Peter 5:8.

05:39 He says, that enemy of yours, the devil, the devil walks about like a roaring lion, fiercely hungry, seeking someone to swallow and just try to swallow earth. So, brothers and sisters, you have to remember some scriptures. There is a devil walking
around to steal your soul.

05:57 So if you completely ignore this fella, this devil will find this all of you. So it cannot. You have to.

06:04 Now look at it. My heart is wicked. It’s always doing something.

06:08 My mind must be renewed. Renew the spirit of your mind. Now you have to go back to the Word to wash your mind.

06:13 Wash the water by the Word. Wash the water by the Word. So you begin to read the Word of God again and again.

06:21 So many people, I find that they fall into sin and not coming out or whatever is because they have been washing their water with the Word of God. They’ve not been seeking the Word of God. They’ve not been meditating on the Word of God.

06:33 If every day you meditate before going to sleep about how every small thing that you went against, you want to settle it. You want to be presented as a pure, chaste virgin to Christ. Because your soul, we are the bride of Christ as a church.

06:50 Now, if your hand causes you to stumble and sin, Mark 9:42. Cut it off. He says, if the food causes you stumble in sin, cut it off.

06:58 Remove yourself from the source of temptation. The Bible says remove yourself. That means you have to remove the source of temptation and sin.

07:07 Suppose the Internet is causing you this. You have cut off the Internet for you. Oh, but I am working without Internet.

07:14 I won’t survive without Internet I can’t do my work. Without Internet, I cannot earn a living. Yes, this is the problem right now.

07:21 Brother or sister is a deep thing. The pornography and all that coming through them, you cannot overcome. So first I’ll continue thinking the Word of God.

07:30 The first. You stop first. You stop first.

07:34 Why you stop first? Because it’s killing you. But then how do I do it? We’ll come to that. We’ll come to that.

07:40 I go on teaching here from the Word of God. It’ll come to that. And God says, bad company wins.

07:45 Good character, Rigza. Bad company so get rid of the company, first get rid of the company. If the TV is your bad company, get rid of the tv.

07:54 If the Internet is a bad company, get rid of the Internet. And for the Internet thing, then you make other first you stop, you begin to repent. Then you see Matthew 17:21.

08:07 This kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting. Fast and pray, fast and pray until this thing breaks. Because you want to be holy in Christ.

08:18 You want to please Jesus Christ. If you love me, keep my commandments and his commandments. All of you know the Hebrew.

08:26 One of the translations is interpretation is authoritative prescription. This prescription will save your soul, save our souls. Like when you go to doctor, it is a prescription.

08:38 You go to pharmacy, get the month, get the medicine and take. It’s a prescription for your physical body, but it’s a prescription for the soul. If you love me, keep my commandments.

08:48 Abstain. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 abstain from all kinds of evil. Some translation will say flee.

08:55 Some places will say flee from every form of evil, every semblance of evil, anything looking evil, you run away. You run away. How? Oh, your body want to love you.

09:06 Your heart and mind want to love you. Yes. Blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus.

09:11 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every wicked thought to get out. In the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every wicked thought and everything in my heart to be clean.

09:20 Lord, merciful Lord, mercy, show mercy for me to overcome this. Lord, overcome. Make me overcome.

09:27 In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to make me overcome. I ask the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ to make me overcome. Overcome every sin.

09:37 So in the name of Jesus Christ, ask the Holy Spirit to shake me up before even I’m going near some place of evil, some things of evil, some connection, whether in the Internet or whatever, or links in the Internet or even going to see people or even
the office to flee from all semblance. Evil make me flee. Anything looking evil, let me flee.

09:58 I want to be presented. Yes, Bhajan Lord, your Holy Spirit, your God, yourself. So you begin to pray and pray from your heart.

10:07 From your heart. You have to pray. And some things that clearly said here does not God accept by prayer and fasting.

10:15 Matthew 17:21 so there are demons who have caught you. So somewhere spirit talks to your heart and then another bigger demon comes and catches your heart and it enters you and you are in this mess. Now then Jesus Christ 8:34 is interceding for us.

10:33 He himself is interceding for us with Father God and the Holy Spirit also interceding for us. Now when Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ are interceding and intervening on our behalf all the time, we should be overcome. But we are not.

10:50 Overcoming means you are not turning to the Holy Spirit, you are not turning to Jesus Christ. First you have to turn to Jesus Christ. Because it is Jesus Christ who sent the helper.

11:00 Father God sent the helper. Jesus said, I have to go. So Father God can send a helper to you.

11:06 And he will bring to memory all that I have spoken unto you. Now remember, brothers and sisters, he can only bring to memory what you have gone and leaned on the word of God. The word of God will come and convict you at that time and you run away.

11:22 But if you have been practicing sin, you have to think you have step by step gone that way. And what you sow, you will reap. You cannot get out of those things and you have to pray.

11:33 Supposing you keep on smoking, smoking, smoking something. Finally the lung got some disease. What to do? That’s why God said, those who do not defile the temple of God do not defile the temple of God.

11:49 Of course, some people learn to excuse themselves. It’s not what goes in that is sin. What comes out isn’t true.

11:56 Because what comes out, God said it from the depth of your heart. When abundance of your heart, the mouth will speak. Your heart is filled with such rubbish, your mouth will speak that rubbish Jesus has said.

12:07 So what goes in it doesn’t defile the man through the food. He’s talking about the food. But remember this, keep the temple of God holy means first of all, you do not want to damage this temple.

12:21 Why? Jesus Christ died on the cross. So you have power to keep health. If the health goes without you doing anything, let us say there is a virus running around, a SARS or something.

12:33 Then we ask for mercy. Because the world has become so wicked, so difficult. The world system is the devil system.

12:41 Then we can’t do anything. We ask for mercy and Jesus still shows mercy. And when it’s time to go home, we leave our casing here, the tent, as apostle Peter said, and we go home.

12:52 But if you listening things in the Internet and your heart is meditating on worldly things, then you will fall into sin. You will never come out. You need to go and fast and pray.

13:06 Because your heart has to be controlled, overcome. To do that, your mind has to be renewed. Without the mind renewing, your heart cannot change.

13:16 The mind must be renewed in Christ. So there are people so many years practicing sin, practicing. And then of course you can practice in hidden way.

13:26 Nobody knows. But the devil will know. The Holy Spirit knows and God knows.

13:31 So even if the Holy Spirit is not in you, because you are not born again, God knows. But of course God loves you. There is hope in Christ.

13:40 But you have to turn. He will not take your will away. Father.

13:44 God will not take your will away. The will is with you. You have to be willingly going to Christ.

13:49 You must be willingly wanting to lean on the word of God. You must willingly want to obey. Willing.

13:56 Willing. That also you can make a prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to be willing to obey the word of God.

14:04 This is all prayer talking, you know, because you see the word of God that gives us a signal, isn’t it? It’s the word of God. So how do we change is by the word of God. How do we change? By giving commands.

14:17 Matthew 16:17, Mark 16:17. He says, what in the name of Jesus Christ you cast out evil spirits. And he told the sea to be calm.

14:27 Jesus told the sea to be calm. The sea became like glass. So you can command your heart to be calm and reject all sin.

14:33 You can command your mind to crave for the word of God. You can do so many things. This is not.

14:40 You’re left alone as an orphan here. And you continue sinning. No, no.

14:44 And suffering the consequences. No need. I was a terrible sinner.

14:49 But once I came to Christ. Finally God only arranges circumstances and pulls you. Finally, if you are sinning and sinning, that also I believe, by God’s mercy will happen.

14:58 Things will go wrong, because by default we are sinning. So things will go so wrong here and there. Because a soul that sinneth will surely die.

15:06 That is the word of God. So your body begins to get trouble. Relationship will be breaking, everything will be sinking.

15:12 Then finally, when the pain is so much in your heart and soul, you can become a brokenhearted and brokenhearted. God says he is near to save. The word of God says when a person is brokenhearted, he is near to save.

15:25 And then a contrite spirit he saves. He doesn’t. This is a condition he has put.

15:32 Brokenhearted is near to save. A contrite spirit he saves. So you don’t have a contrite spirit.

15:38 He cannot save because that’s his command. God is true. He cannot change his own command.

15:44 Contrite spirit is. I am wrong. I don’t want to sin anymore.

15:48 I need Jesus Christ the Savior, the only one who went on the cross for me. In the name of Jesus Christ. I sinned against man, I sinned against Jesus Christ.

15:57 And if you are a Christian, if you are lying and lying and lying, you are sinning against the Holy Spirit also. Why you are grieving the Holy Spirit? Why are you grieving the Holy Spirit? Because you know that is what suddenly happened in Ngannyas.
And they sold a piece of land and then they came and told the church, this is the value of the land.

16:17 We got money and give to the church. They giving some to the church. And then Peter said, why are you sinning? Why you’re telling lies about the lie that’s yours.

16:26 The prophecy is yours. He’s going to tell the truth. Lying is a big issue, brothers and sisters.

16:30 All lies burn a lake of fire. Or God already said, but there is hope for you. But by quoting the scripture, oh, you are condemning me.

16:38 No, the word of God is coming into you. Anybody quoting the word of God to you, you have to decide whether the word of God applies to you at that time. It applies.

16:47 Repent, brother. Repent and change. I’ve told so many scriptures are there for us.

16:52 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for mercy for all those who are suffering in sin. Amen.
