00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 20th of January 2016 why Jesus Christ Allows Trials why Jesus Christ allows trials Part 2 Brothers and sisters, we recap. First of all, in James 1:13 16 it’s very
clear. God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one.

00:24 God does not tempt anyone. Any temptation coming is not from God. We are tempted by one’s own desire, our own desire.

00:32 I am reading from James 1:13 16. Catholic version we are tempted by our own desire, being lured and lured means drawn and enticed by it. Then when the desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin.

00:48 And that sin, when it’s fully grown, gives birth to death. Do not be deceived, my beloved. So now Jesus Christ the word of God through Apostle James saying, do not be deceived, my beloved.

01:00 Calling us beloved, but at the same time telling us, look here, God doesn’t tempt anyone. You are tempted when you are drawn by your own desire. And when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin.

01:12 And sin, when it fully grows, gives birth to death. That when you have one desire, you must always check to make sure that it is what God desires. If God doesn’t desire that we shouldn’t do.

01:24 For instance, there are things our heart will say won’t do, won’t do because our heart and mind is carnal. Carnal is worldly trained by the world. That is why a carnal mind cannot understand the things of the spirit.

01:38 Carnal mind means a worldly trained mind cannot understand the things of what is led by the Spirit of God, what is happening in the spirit. So that is why many will say why like this? Because they are using their carnal worldly mind to decide the
word of God which is spirit led. So therefore when people are still carnal minded, they will all disagree.

02:01 When a spirit led person tells you you cannot do this, do not do that, do it this way, go here or don’t do that. Even when two or three are counseled, many won’t desire. Many.

02:14 Many over the years have seen the only sir, they complain of the counsellors. While God’s word is very clear. There’s safety in the council of many.

02:22 In the godly council of many. There’s safety when people don’t listen to the godly counsel of several. When several people are telling you hey brother, this is wrong, sister, this is wrong, don’t do this this way.

02:32 And you’ve still been drawn by your own heart desire what to do then obviously you are going to be sin will be given birth, then sin given birth, then sin, when fully grown, gives birth to death. So therefore, brothers and sisters, today we must
remember we cannot be led by our heart and our mind. It must be led by the Spirit of God.

02:54 But to be led as many as led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. But many do not know how to be led by the Spirit of God. But first start with obedience to the written word of God.

03:05 And when you’re not led by the Spirit of God, go by the written word of God to get godly counsel. Counselors who do not have self agendas, who do not want you to do things for them, but they are telling you to do things for yourself according to the
word of God and what they are sensing in the Spirit. That is why everything of course cannot be written in the Bible.

03:27 For instance, let’s say you have decided to go somewhere. To go somewhere. I want to go on holiday here, okay.

03:38 Even in the ministry, what they did in the book of Acts, they get together, they fasted and prayed and then as led by the Spirit, they go. Because the Bible doesn’t write and say, okay, Christy Lutz, tomorrow you go to India for ministry or tomorrow
you go to America for ministry. If it doesn’t write that way, so what happens? I must be led by the Spirit of God.

04:02 So if I’m not led by the Spirit of God, or even if I believe I am led by the Spirit of God, I better take godly counsel and see whether others are agreeing in my case, whether it settles my wife’s spirit, my children’s spirit. Because over the years
they have been seen to be wanting to follow Christ and Christ moves them. And if it is ministry matters, I have to take counsel among other pastors.

04:26 But there are people. Yesterday it happened. Where is that? One young single mother decides to do something and is not led by the Spirit of God and going to harm herself.

04:38 But you cannot stop. Why? We are not policemen or we are not jail wardens. We are just merely ministers, servants of God telling you this is not on.

04:47 But she cannot understand why her carnal mind kicks in to see this. And sometimes some people having carnal mind think they are having a spirit led mind when they can’t remember scripture. They can’t pray even properly after so long.

05:01 And they still do this. But nothing we can do. So we pray for them, we ask for mercy from Christ and minister to the others.

05:08 And we can keep on trying to tell them, but they don’t want to listen to nothing. You can do so now. Only the Spirit of God can train them.

05:15 So what happens now? Here. It’s one of the things why God allows trials. And one is for us to persevere.

05:22 The one is for us to persevere. In James 1:12, God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Let us not become weary in doing good.

05:31 You need to persevere. In Hebrews 10:35, you need to persevere. So do not throw away your confidence.

05:37 It will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Jesus Christ is the truth.

05:46 When you say something, it’s the truth. Now. Today, the second part is why we sometimes suffer is many times actually we suffer because of our own mistakes.

05:57 Why? Because of our own mistakes. In Hosea 464 6, my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge.

06:08 Now this is a wonderful thing. Why people have destroyed lack of knowledge. And and then how to get this knowledge? Spirit led knowledge.

06:14 It’s not just worldly trained knowledge, spirit led knowledge, but they’ve also rejected knowledge. When godly counsel is given, they were rejected. Then when they reject it, why? It’s pride.

06:27 Pride. Our hearts and minds are filled with pride and stubbornness. You know, stubbornness, idolatry.

06:33 And this, what you call rebellion, is witchcraft. God says repellent is a witchcraft. And stubbornness is idle.

06:39 So when people are stubborn, stubborn mind, stubbornness, God says it’s idolatry. They idolize themselves. They believe what they think, not what the word of God says.

06:49 That’s why God says, renew. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

06:56 Not anywhere. First be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How to be renewed? By taking the word of God, examining yourself and checking against the Word of God and meditating on the Word of God.

07:07 And finally the mind will be renewed by the word of God and turn from our earlier way of thinking, our old way of thinking, and move forward to a new direction, which is Godly way. Proverbs 19:2 3. Desire without knowledge is not good.

07:22 There are people desiring things, but without knowledge. And Proverbs 19:23 is saying not good, dangerous? How much more will hasty feet miss? The way when you move? Don’t care. There are people who want to go and just do things without acquiring
knowledge.

07:40 There are many, many school teenagers nowadays. They just want to go and earn a lot of money and have a great life, it seems, without wanting to study, without wanting to Acquire knowledge. How to live life, how to do something.

07:54 Acquire knowledge in a certain particular field. So they’ve been believing this false thing From Hollywood, Bollywood. For those who don’t know what Hollywood is, this is a cinema industry.

08:04 From Madras, from Chennai, Bollywood is a. Is a Delhi cinema industry. Of course, Hollywood is us, L.

08:18 A. hollywood. Hollywood, Bollywood.

08:25 They begin to believe this nonsense. After believing nonsense, they just want to do the thing. And there are also a lot of people.

08:33 They believe some nonsense that the world has taught them. The Bollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood. Persons whose own folly leads to their ruin.

08:41 Desire without knowledge is not good. It leads to their own folly, leads to their ruin. Yes, their heart rages against the Lord.

08:52 They get angry with the people who are telling about the word of God and against the Word of God. When the word of God is released, they get angry and they actually think the angry is the servant. But actually, no.

09:03 Their heart is raging against the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, the Bible says here, Proverbs 19:23, Desire without knowledge is not good. A person’s own folly leads to ruin.

09:11 Their own mistakes and own foolishness leads to ruin. Yet their heart rages against the Lord. They’re getting angry when somebody counsels them.

09:20 This is the word of God. They get angry with the servants because their hearts are raging against Lord Jesus Christ. But they don’t realize that.

09:27 They think they are angry with the people who are counseling. But please, brothers and sisters, you’re coming across. This means you better nothing to do.

09:34 They’re raging against the Lord. Means can you change that? Only the Lord Jesus Christ knows how to deal with that. You go humble yourself.

09:39 Go. Humbleness is the greatest weapon in the spiritual plane. Humble yourself and move.

09:45 Galatians 6:5. Assume your own responsibilities. For every person will have.

09:58 I’m reading my amplified Galatians 6:5. For every person will have to bear with patience his own burden of faults and shortcomings, for which he alone is responsible. This is a very important thing.

10:31 Nowadays, this new generation or a lot of people do not want to accept responsibility for their conduct. They are always blaming somebody, blaming the pastor, blaming the children of God, blaming the counselors, blaming the husband, blaming the
wife, blaming the children, blaming the mother, blaming the father, blaming the boss, blaming the circumstances, blaming the economy, blaming the political situation, blaming something but never taking accountability. Here God is very clear, Father.

10:36 God is saying through the word of God. Galatians 6:5. He alone is responsible.

10:38 You alone are responsible. I am responsible for my faults and shortcomings, not God. God is not responsible.

11:00 I am responsible when I Messed up with all the sin and all. Finally when I came to God, I needed a contrite spirit which says I am wrong. Even the single mother yesterday, she is wrong, but does not want to admit she is always right, you see.

11:08 Always looking for some issue, always saying, never see her saying yes, I am wrong. I do this. No, cannot, because the mind has captured her.

11:19 The stubborn mind that kept it up for years. Then when talking to her mother is going on from very young, stubborn and rebellious. And now she’s got a daughter.

11:27 I pray they get out of this. Well, praise Jesus Christ. Otherwise problem will come for sure.

11:37 It may not come today, tomorrow in fact, you even may be blessed some money. There’s one segment I put there, the devil’s blessing. Why? Because when I was against God also I’m being blessed.

11:43 Blessed, not blessed. A lot of money there, but it’s not from God, it’s from devil. He’ll come to colle.

11:51 Now here every person, this one is very important. Nobody wants to take responsibility for themselves. No point ministering to the person.

11:58 They must say they are wrong, contrite spirit. Otherwise we are wasting our time and this is not going to work. And they are going to get angry with you.

12:06 They are going to rage, their heart is going to rage against. Going to be angry against the Lord. But they think they are angry against you because they can’t understand their heart.

12:24 Jesus says what the word of God says. And all of us are treacherously wicked, who can know it? So these people who are stubborn and rebellious and they think their heart is right, they follow their heart in fact, then they many times mistaken that
they are following the Spirit of God. But actually they’re following their heart.

12:39 The heart has duped them, deceived them to the point they think they are following the Spirit of God until we have to prove. And this has gone on for some time with this sister now three Humility declares this is the best thing in our life. When we
do not know anything, just humble ourselves and go along.

12:51 But the two or three, when so many people are telling you’re wrong, you better accept love, accept so many people without agenda. Telling you’re wrong means you’re wrong. So let’s accept.

13:14 And so many people are telling, even when you are not born again, even you are not in this congregation, even when you are just hearing this and you are not even following Christ. So many of your parents, your relatives are saying this is wrong,
don’t do this and all that unless they’re saying it’s wrong to follow Jesus Christ, then obviously they are wrong. But if they’re not saying following Jesus Christ, they’re talking about doing something that is wrong.

13:21 You better humble yourself and know that it’s wrong. Something’s going on here. God is making you more humble.

13:31 This one of the reasons why God allows trials. Because it makes you more humble. He allows trials to make you more responsible for your own deed, to let you know you caused this.

13:37 Now you are suffering the consequences. So allows trials to let you know. Allows it doesn’t cost this.

13:42 You did something. I did something. And we’re paying a price because we have suffered this thing.

13:47 The suffering has come. You better those are blaming God. Why, Lord? Why you did not do this.

13:48 No, no. You better say, I did this. I did this.

13:56 I did this. We are suffering because of our own trouble. We have gone against the word of God.

13:59 Humility. He allows this thing. It happened to the Apostle Paul in.

14:07 In 2nd Corinthians 12:7. Even though I have received great, wonderful revelation from God. Apostle Paul talking.

14:17 So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh. A messenger from Satan. To torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

14:25 So God has allowed this messenger. He has asked three times of God to take this off. Of course he can cast out, but he’s not going a messenger from Satan.

14:28 It’s not sickness. And some people think God put sickness on them. No, no, no.

14:41 He didn’t put anything that is a messenger of Satan, a fallen angel, a demon is attacking him all the time, from time to time. And he cast out not going. Why? Because God has allowed it.

14:56 Why God has allowed it? Because to keep Paul from becoming proud. Because so many wonderful revelations have been given to Apostle Paul. And so God in his infinite mercy, if Paul becomes proud, he will lose his salvation.

15:07 He may go against God so not to have that. God only knows the heart of Paul. So why God allow that? Why does God do this? Now he only knows the heart of Paul.

15:16 He only knows my heart. He only knows your heart. So he has allowed this messenger of Satan to keep on tormenting him from time to time to keep him from proud.

15:24 And Apostle Paul recognizes it and writes here now, Proverbs 18:12. Before disaster, the heart of man is haughty, proud. No.

15:37 Before disaster happens, before destruction comes, the heart of a man is haughty, proud and filled with self importance. This amplified filled with self importance. But humility comes before honor.

15:41 Now many times we are troubled. Oh, I’m fantastic. I will make some decisions.

15:44 I know what I’m doing. I don’t know what these people are talking. They are wrong.

15:49 I’m not wrong. They are wrong. So make a decision and do but that before disaster.

15:57 The heart of a man is haughty and proud and filled with self importance. You think you are right? Don’t humble yourself. You know you are wrong.

16:12 When so many counsels coming, you are wrong first. Peter 5, 6, 8 humble yourself therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your cares and anxiety on him because he cares for you.

16:21 Be alert and sober mind to enemy. The devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for whom to devour, looking to solar earth. So therefore God’s command here is humble yourself.

16:33 When trials and tribulation come, don’t say anything. Humble yourself. So he has allowed this to first take responsibility and accountability for what we are doing and go and get some knowledge and all that.

16:40 Plus you humble yourself to keep us humble. He allowed it. Why our hearts like this become too proud.

16:50 Brother and sister. Today this is segment as to why subtract. But in the end all things work for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.

Remember this things will work out good for you if you hang on to Christ in Jesus Christ’s name and return to Christ and obey him. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
