00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 17th of January 2016 Sunday Jesus Christ condemns idle words. Jesus Christ condemns idle words. A lot of people, a lot of Christians.

00:17 I was doing this then only God, years ago God brought this scripture and reminded me and convicted me, convicted me. Then I decided, hey, I better careful because a lot of Christians know these words. Out of the abundance of your heart, the mouth
will speak or the mouth speaketh, the mouth speaks out of the abundance of your heart.

00:38 What is filled in the heart, it overflows and your mouth speaks. That is what the scripture says. Many, they know this, but they don’t take attention to what actually it means and the consequences of such talking.

00:51 Such nonsense talking idle words. Now we’ll go to the Scriptures first, Matthew 12, 36 and 37. I’m reading from the new King James Version.

01:01 But I say to you, this is Jesus Christ saying, but I say to you that for every idle word a man may speak, they will give account. Men may speak, Sorry, Sorry. For every idle word men may speak, they will give accounts of it in the Day of Judgment.

01:20 37 for by your word you will be justified. And by your word you will be condemned. Now day of judgment is done by Jesus Christ.

01:29 Jesus decides. So now your words will be justified and by your words you’ll be condemned. By your words you’ll be justified or by your words you’ll condemn.

01:38 Simply meaning that Jesus Christ condemns idle words. Every idle word men may speak, they will give account. I have to give account.

01:47 So that is why I have to now see what exactly God is telling us what not to do. Now let’s look at this. Sometimes this false doctrine or false teachers or they want to just give you the feel good factor and say, no, no, it doesn’t apply to Jesus, it
doesn’t apply to Christians because they’ve already been covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

02:08 So it’s okay. Now remember, brothers and sisters, finally the judgment is on me. So I have to decide whether these people are saying or do I take what the Bible says.

02:18 If I take what the Bible says, I better go to the side of safety. Safety. That’s a decision I made years and years ago.

02:29 No matter what people say, I better go and check the Scriptures. And if the scriptures say something and it’s my clear in my heart is what the Scriptures are saying, I better. Even when there’s doubt, I better take the harder route.

02:41 Because Jesus Christ said the road is narrow, few will find it hard. Harder is the Way hard is the way, difficult is the way. So I better take the difficult things, the difficult interpretation.

02:52 Why? Because the easy interpretation is called a broad way. And finally, who’s going to pay a price? I am going to pay a price. Not the false teacher or any teacher or any even may not be false teacher, ignorant teacher, or false doctrine or
ignorantly people telling or simply.

03:10 It’s okay, it’s okay. This, you know, it’s all right, no problem. You got Jesus Christ who will go to heaven story.

03:16 I better read the scripture myself because my safety, eternal safety is in question. I have to decide because Jesus Christ said, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Why we are trembling because this kind of false things will come
and we will fall into this trap and we can end up in the wrong side of the equation, which is a terrible thing for me, for my family, for the congregation minister.

03:42 I keep telling them, look here, I can’t force anybody. I’m not going to force anybody. I don’t have the authority to force anybody.

03:46 I don’t have the power to foster what I believe. But I will tell you the truth. And if you’re angry with me, please don’t be angry with me.

03:56 Check the scripture yourself and come to your own conclusion and pay your own price like I have to pay. Check the scriptures yourself. Meditate on the scriptures.

04:07 Get the spirit of God to lead you. And if the spirit of God is leading you different from the Scriptures, then you know, it may be Dhamma, the Spirit and not spirit of God. Because Jesus Christ already said the road is narrow.

04:19 Few will find it difficult away. So now when the scripture gives you, somebody gives you. No, no, no, you know, lazy, relaxed thing.

04:27 No, it’s okay. Finally, who’s going to pay the price? I’m going to pay the price and it’ll be too late. So why do I take that risk? I do not want to take any risk on this one.

04:37 I believe in Jesus Christ. Oh, I believe in Jesus Christ. So you believe in Jesus Christ.

04:42 You said to the Lord, if I believe in Jesus Christ, I will be desiring to keep his word. I’ll be desiring to obey his commands. If you love me, keep my commandments which are authoritative prescription.

04:55 As he says in the old. In the Hebrew interpretation, one of the interpretations is authoritative prescription. It’s a prescription for my spiritual well being and also my physical well being.

05:07 Because it all starts in the spirit and finally it will end in the spirit. That is why I go to the word of God and meditate. Because too Risky for me after having suffered like that.

05:18 And then coming, then Jesus Christ saves me, gives me peace, gives me joy, gives me life. Good life, good relationship, family, put together, all so many wonderful things are done in my life. And now for me to take a risk.

05:34 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not to anyone. Let them teach whatever they want.

05:39 But I have to go and check the Scripture myself and obey the Scripture because I wish to obey. And now I can obey. I can obey because by the name of Jesus Christ, I can command my heart and mind to obey.

05:52 For instance, before this 12:36, 37, before Matthew 12:37, by your words you’ll be justified, and by your words you’ll be condemned. And before that, 36. But I say to you that for every idle man may speak, men may speak.

06:07 They will give account of it in the day of judgment. Before that, 1235 says this. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things.

06:19 And an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart. Now who is good? Jesus said, no one is good.

06:31 So only your heart becomes good. When you go to Jesus Christ and begin to train your heart and your heart and the word of God, you used to wash our mind. God said, washing of the mind with the word, washing of the water with the Word.

06:44 When you used to word of God to wash your water. And then the mind spiritually is changed in the mind. The mind is repentant.

06:53 And the turning away from the old way of thinking is a new way in Christ thinking. From a worldly thinking to a Christian thinking. When the mind changes, heart also changes.

07:02 When the heart changes, then of course there will be good treasure in your heart, and your heart will bring forth good things. This is what Matthew 12:35 Jesus spoke. Then he goes to Matthew 36 and says, but there are many buts.

07:16 Many people ignore this. But. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

07:24 He says, the earlier people are saying, okay, from a good man, from treasure of his heart will bring good things. Evil man from the evil treasure of his heart will bring bad things. This abundance of your heart, the mouth will speak.

07:35 But Jesus said, but I say to you. Now Jesus is saying, but I say to you, the husband of my soul, the husband of my soul is saying, but I say to you, for every idle word man may speak, they’ll give account of it in the day of judgment. It Is not
that, oh, I love Jesus Christ so you won’t judge me like this.

07:53 If you love Jesus Christ, you will obey. If you truly love Jesus Christ, you will wish to obey. Of course, then he will say, in James 3.

08:05 8 it says, I have taken the English Standard Version because it makes it clear. James 3. 8.

08:12 But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil full of deadly poison. Many translations will say, but no one can tame the tongue.

08:14 It is a restless evil full of deadly poison. I took the English Standard Version today. I had to search for all these things, you know, Remember, it takes time because I. I want to make it clearer as possible for everybody.

08:33 New soul, new in Christ, old in Christ. All that can clearly make it understand. James 3.

08:38 8. English Standard Version says, but no human being. Other versions will say, no one.

08:44 Of course, when no one means only human beings, God is exempted from this no 1 business. So English Standard Version makes it clear, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

08:57 If no one can change the tongue, how am I going to survive this? No human being. So we got to get to Jesus Christ. The power of Christ.

09:05 That’s why you use the power of Christ. You need the power of Christ daily to overcome all this nonsense and be safe until you reach home. Now no human being can.

09:16 Damn. The tongue is restless. Evil restless.

09:18 Cannot. Must speak. Must speak.

09:20 Full of deadly poisons, brothers and sisters. That is why in Psalm 141:3, Psalm 141, 141:3, amplified, it says, set a God, O Lord, over my mouth. This psalmist, most likely this is King David.

09:38 Set a God, O Lord, O my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly. This psalm is in the Old Testament.

09:50 It’s saying in Psalm 14:13, Such a God, O Lord. Because he knew no one can tame the tongue. No human being can change.

09:58 He knew. He didn’t that have no New Testament yet. But he already knew in his heart that no human being can tame the tongue.

10:05 So it is restless evil, full of deadly fortune. He knew this. The psalmist knew.

10:09 So that is why he goes to Jesus Christ. Or that time he is going to Father God. Jesus Christ has not come, so he goes to Father God.

10:17 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly. To keep me from speaking thoughtlessly.

10:30 This extended explanation by the amplified version. I’m taking my amplified here to keep me from Speaking thoughtlessly. So thoughtlessly is full of Christians are going around speaking thoughtlessly, thoughtlessly.

10:43 These are what, idle words, brothers and sisters, we must get to appreciate these things because you see, and that is how we will change. Can you imagine, let us say, in a meeting, in a board meeting, or, you know, I’ve seen this board meeting, I’ve
been in the boards. So you see, Umpala wear.

11:02 Oh, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. And nobody cares.

11:06 Nobody respects just talking. Nobody respects a fellow. Talk this, talk that.

11:10 And many people talk without thinking thoughtlessly and without thinking of the consequences. What happened if you say something and your soul becomes stumbled because you said it, you got a problem. Jesus tries to ask you to account for that word,
for that idle word.

11:28 So somebody will say, go and advise somebody. You can go and do this. When we counsel, you know how much of thought would have gone into it before the counsel comes out.

11:37 Sometimes hours of thought would have gone, meditating the word of God. Meditating on what? Christ, the spirit of God, telling me before I can counsel somebody. Because if it’s a serious counsel, if it’s a simple, straightforward counsel, then we
already know the scriptures, it will just come out and by God’s word, the spirit of God will lead me and I’ll just tell it.

11:56 But if there’s a complicated issue, it’s a marriage issue, marriage covenant being broken or something, it will take a long while because you can end up making errors. And I don’t want to make errors because I destroy souls and I will be
accountable. Pastors think before we all actually counsel.

12:14 The counsel must be in line with the word of God. So therefore some people may just say something thoughtlessly and the person who heard it may act on it and damage themselves. That’s why God says offences will come.

12:33 Jesus Christ says word of God says offenses will come. Jesus actually said that offenses will come, but woe to the one through whom the offense comes. I mean, what is the thing saying is, yeah, temptation will come, all kind of problems will come,
but woe means destruction to the one through whom it comes.

12:53 So if you open your mouth and simply say things thoughtlessly and then somebody is offended or somebody acts on the advice you are given thoughtlessly and they act on it and they harm themselves. Woe to you. What’s this? Woe means destruction to us,
you know, woe means destruction, friends.

13:13 If there is a serious matter, this thing about idle words, and simply say it is simply say that. And therefore people will simply talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. They’re falling into this.

13:23 And then when they’re falling into this, that’s another problem they will have. What is that? That is the devil who’s an accuser, who walks upon this. Jesus said, and therefore even in Ephesians, our battle is not flesh and blood, it is the
spiritual forces.

13:40 It’s the demons, it’s Satan. And then what God says, Jesus says this your enemy, the devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may do our. You keep on talking, talk, talk, talk, talk.

13:55 Idle words, people acting on it, people damage. No, no, no, I didn’t mean this. After that very easy.

14:00 Only because somebody already suffering. Hey, you said what I went and they say, no, I didn’t mean it. You must think for yourself, brother.

14:05 You must think for yourself, sister. How can you simply take my words? Then they won’t take any words from you, isn’t it? This kind of excuses is gone. Simply talked of.

14:15 Somebody acts on it after that. But I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it that way.

14:20 Well, you shouldn’t have spoken it in the first place. I shouldn’t have spoken if I didn’t mean it. Because Jesus said to us, yes is a yes and no is a no.

14:29 When we speak, we speak with truth. We speak with humility, we speak with love, we speak with care for the person who is receiving it. If you don’t mean it, you cannot say it.

14:39 Oh, I didn’t mean it. But I didn’t mean it that way. I meant it that way.

14:43 Whose job is to explain how I meant it? It’s my job to explain how I meant it when I’m saying it. If I simply say don’t care how it’s taken, then woe. Because I’m simply saying, and often people are getting offended.

15:01 If they’re offended because I’m telling the truth, that is, God will deal with them. If I hear the scripture and say idle words, you will condemn. You’re condemning me.

15:10 Crucible, you’re condemning me. I think that’s the scripture. Now they get offended because of the word of God.

15:15 They’re not offended because of me. Because they are offended with the word of God. That is why 500 disciples left one evening.

15:23 And Jesus said to Peter, the disciples were saying, are you too offended? Will you too leave me? And Peter answered, where can we go, Lord? There’s only words of eternal life in you. Therefore, when you release the word of God and people are getting
offended, they are offended against Christ. Now, those of you who are getting offended often now left and right and people Scripture to you.

15:46 Please understand. Clearly. You’re getting offended at the word of God means the word of God is Jesus Christ.

15:47 You’re getting offended against Jesus. Can you imagine what situation you’re putting yourself inside? Better accept the Word, humble yourself and command your heart and mind to change. Meditate on the Word and the Word of God will change us from
inside.

16:06 We can’t change. No man can tame the tongue. No human being can tame the tongue.

16:10 But Jesus Christ of Nazareth. With the power of Christ, we can use and change our tongue, change our heart, change our mind, use the power of Christ daily, meditate on the Scriptures and begin to want to be the kind of bride for Christ. Blameless,
spotless.

16:30 To be present as a chaste, virgin soul. That’s a desire each of us must have. Because he is coming back.

16:37 He is coming back. That is why those days in Russian, the Russian Christians go many years ago. When they pass by, they will say.

16:45 The Christians will say, he is risen. And the person who heard this will say, he is risen indeed. Brothers and sisters, He, Jesus Christ, has risen indeed.

16:55 Use his power. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
