JESUS A Friend of Sinners?

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 11 February 2016 Jesus a friend of sinners. Jesus a friend of sinners. Brothers and sisters, before we go delve into the
subject, we must remember yesterday.

00:20 Today started yesterday. Did we examine ourselves. Very important examine ourselves because the word of God says examine yourself to check whether we are actually fraud Christians.

00:31 We are fakes, counterfeits. Examine ourselves because we want to be changed from glory to glory. Because we want to present our souls as a chaste virgin unto Christ.

00:40 It’s critical. That’s the most important thing. Presenting ourselves as chaste virgin antichrist.

00:45 And that’s done by believing in Jesus Christ. Because he changes us. Believing in his Word.

00:50 Looking at the appropriate phrase or verse of Christ, verse of the Word of God and meditating on this and then going and doing it and then doing it. Otherwise the Bible says the Scripture says who looks at the Word
of God and then studies it and doesn’t go and do it. Not a doer.

01:08 He’s like a man who looks himself in a mirror and then as soon as he turns away from the mirror he forgets what he looks like. Crazy. Now, brothers and sisters, today always whatever I’m led to teach here that by
the Holy Spirit even I am learning as I’m teaching.

01:24 Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth because the Holy Spirit if I think I know something, I do not know anything yet as I ought to know. I remember that for myself because that’s most important for me. Otherwise pride
will come in.

01:36 I know this, I know that. And then the pride will kill me. So I cannot afford that.

01:41 I want to humble in the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to be humble to the word of God. Humble to the Word of God.

01:49 Brothers and sisters, many times over the years what Satan’s strategy There are some segments have narrated Satan’s strategy. One strategy is actually for Satan to put people wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ll come
Remember, those who are not born of the Spirit are manipulated by Satan and those who are born of the Spirit also we’re not meditating on the Word of God and all the devil can throw thoughts into you and that is
talk to your heart, resonate with your heart and your mind and begin to move you in areas to get you in trouble.

02:25 Eventually Jesus will save you because you are a child of God. But we will face trouble, unnecessary trouble. We will face unnecessary trouble by going our own way without checking what Jesus Christ Word of God
says.

02:38 Without checking Scripture extremely important. Check The Word of God. In fact, that is why I use scripture.

02:46 I’ll send the email following this. Listening. You ask for the email.

02:50 Those of you not getting email, please ask for the moderators. They’ll send you the emails on this and the emails will show the scriptures. Although I’ll be quoting even when I’m speaking in the mornings, I’ll be
quoting scriptures.

03:01 And then of course, I’ll be also quoting relevant testimonies of what happened to me and all that. But my testimonies, what happened to me are all not the most important thing. The most important thing is the Word
of God.

03:13 And you meditate on this Word of God and the Word of God will change you from inside. That’s how Jesus changes us. We look at the Word of God, we meditate on the thing, we look at our own character, what is
happening and all that.

03:25 Relevant for that season, relevant for the moment when you’re dealing with it. And then we change from inside. Of course.

03:31 The greatest commandment. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love one another as he has loved us.

03:38 He loved us by giving himself up for us. We must be prepared to love our brothers in Christ, sisters in Christ, like that, by willing to give of ourselves to them. Three, love your neighbor as yourself and four,
love even your enemies if you want to be sons of the Most High God.

03:56 Now love your neighbor as yourself means the Bible already telling us first we must be able to love ourselves. That are people who hate themselves, who have no self esteem. I’ve also narrated issues on that.

04:08 Going to ask for the moderators to give you that if you don’t have self esteem, you don’t have. I mean, you don’t trust God. Jesus Christ says he has made you fearfully and wonderfully made.

04:18 And then if you don’t think you’re nothing, you’re nothing. I’m nothing. My nose is crooked or something.

04:23 You keep on going. Now he has made us fearfully and wonderfully made the Spirit in the Spirit. It is paralleling.

04:29 The Spirit is like Christ. Now our heart and mind and our body are to be controlled. So he has made us because you are a spirit being.

04:38 He has made you and me fearfully and wonderfully beautiful. He has made us beautiful. Now if you just look at the physical from dust that came until dust will return.

04:47 You look at the physical this and that, my nose and this and that. You go and look at that, then, oh, I am nothing. I am nothing, nothing, no self worth and all.

04:56 Then diseases will come. Your life will be Misery. Go there and settle what Jesus Christ says.

05:02 If he says he’s made you wonderfully and fearfully, he made you accept the word that means if you don’t have love the way God wants you to love, it’s not selfish love, not self seeking love, it’s not your love about
you love you more. Love yourself more than other people. I love myself more than other people.

05:19 Know, love your neighbor as yourself. But if you hate yourself, if people are thinking of committing suicide and all because the devil is dealing with them or shaking them this way and that way, then obviously you
won’t be able to love your neighbor as yourself. In fact, you will hate your neighbor because you already hate yourself.

05:35 There are many down problems like this. So therefore in the last days, just before Jesus Christ saved me, I was hating myself like crazy. I want to commit suicide.

05:48 So at that time, obviously I’m not going to love anybody else. Brothers and sisters, these are important things. Now we’re dealing with this.

05:56 Jesus, a friend of sinners. You know what the devil does? The strategy? He’ll plant wolves in sheep’s clothing. Among the Christians, even commentators, Bible commentators, there are planters, there are many who
have been planted by the devil, the wolves and sheep clothing.

06:13 That is why when you keep on looking at commentaries in the Bible, commentaries in the Bible, you take a Bible read, read the commentaries only dangerous. Read the word of God and meditate on the word of Jesus
Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ’s name, I ask you, I plead with you, please open my spiritual eyes of understanding to know the word of God and the same thing.

06:35 Because traditions of man will creep in and it becomes like law, it becomes like doctrine. It becomes like it must be done this way, otherwise you won’t be saved or whatever. In fact, they follow the doctrine of
many, many lot of Christians.

06:51 Without knowing because of captured again the doctrines of men. Traditions of men will capture you. When he captures you, you won’t have freedom.

07:00 Jesus came to set us free. And when the Son of Man sets us free, he is free indeed. Whom the Son of Man sets free is, or Son of God set free is free indeed.

07:12 You must be free indeed, not captured by any other tradition. Now like this is one classic one. They all say Jesus is a friend of sinners.

07:20 Jesus a friend of sinners. Let’s check whether this is true Now. In Matthew 11:19, the son of man came eating and drinking with others.

07:32 And they said, this is Jesus Christ speaking. In Matthew 11:19, the son of man came eating and drinking with Others and they say, look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. Yet wisdom is
justified and vindicated by her deeds in the lives of those who respond to me.

07:51 That’s bracket. That’s amplified in the lives of those who respond to me. Now, brothers and sisters, let’s read again.

07:58 Jesus didn’t say that. Jesus is saying, look, they are saying that he’s a glutton and a drunkard and a friend of tax collectors and sinners. Now what this demonic or demonized or wolves in sheep’s clothing
commentators have put it and over the years, they are talking hundreds of years, they think he is a friend of sinners, he is a friend of sinners, he is a friend of sinners.

08:21 If you say he is a friend of sinners because they are saying, look, Jesus Christ saying, look, they are saying, look, a glutton and a drunkard and a friend of tax collectors and sinners has come. Now the thing is,
if you take that portion, he’s a friend of sinners, then you have to take what the others are saying. He’s also a glutton and a drunkard.

08:43 Not true. Not true at all. Now he’s also not now a friend of sinners.

08:49 Then this is why the devil has put the doctrine. So I know over the years people say, no, no, Jesus my friend, he will save me sometime. They are sinning on and on and on, practicing sin.

09:00 They don’t let go. You know, they want to show scripture also. They don’t want to meditate.

09:04 They don’t want to fast to get out of fast and pray to get out of it because they can’t get out of it because the heart and mind and the flesh is controlling them so strong. So then if the flesh is controlling so
strong, then you have to fast, weaken your flesh, weaken your. So the spirit man got chance to come up and control everything.

09:24 Now they won’t listen because he said, look, Jesus Christ, a friend of sinners, he’s my friend. I’m a sinner, I’m sinning. They’re literally saying, I can sin all I want and I’ll continue sinning, but he’s my
friend.

09:37 This is not true, brothers and sisters, because I’ll show you in scripture a little later now. So what are they saying? I can continue sinning. That’s the trick of the devil.

09:47 The strategy of the devil is you continue sinning because Jesus Christ is your friend. Not true. Why? Jesus said, those who continue to practice sin are born of the devil.

09:57 That Scripture nobody wants to say. Why not say that persons who are practicing sin are born of the devil? In fact, there’s one scripture that says those who are practicing traditions of men and not the doctrine of
Christ were actually accursed. That means anatima means cursed, you know.

10:13 That means you are cursed for following the tradition of man. Because traditions are man. Don’t put your faith in man.

10:18 Don’t go and follow what we say, including what I say. If I show scripture, follow scripture. If I don’t show scripture and back up what I’m saying.

10:27 Don’t follow what I’m saying. Put your faith in Christ. Please put your faith in Christ.

10:32 I too can make errors. Remember that. Because if I say, oh, I don’t make errors, I’m perfect, then already I’m proud.

10:39 I’m full of pride and I have a problem. The devil will attack me and Jesus Christ will not be able to do anything until I humble myself. Jesus Christ is a just God.

10:50 He cannot intervene and say, he said he will allow trouble. Why I have trouble. So my pride has to go now.

10:56 John 15:15 17. John 15:15. First, Jesus Christ is saying this, you are my friends if you keep on doing what I command.

11:06 What a different statement, Jesus Christ saying, you are my friends if you keep on doing what I command. If you obey my command, on and on. If you keep on doing my commands, if you keep on doing on and on.

11:20 Not just do two days and two days more days, I don’t follow. One more day I follow. One more day I don’t follow.

11:25 No, you are my friends if you keep on doing what I command. This is John 15:15. Now John 15:16.

11:32 I do not call you servants anymore. Jesus Christ saying, I do not call you servants anymore, for the servant does not know what the Master is doing. But I’ve called you my friends because I’ve revealed to you
everything that I’ve heard from my father.

11:49 John 15:16. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you so that you go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting.

12:07 So that whatever you ask of the Father in My name he may give you. This is what I command. That you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another.

12:18 Brothers and sisters, today clearly Jesus said he is not a friend of sinners, but he is there to save them for those who turn, who turns those who turn to that team. I was there to be saved, but he was not my
friend. When I continued sinning and using blaspheming word against him and all that.

12:40 Hold it over, Lord. I’m using the time. I’m not a friend of Jesus Christ.

12:44 He’s not my friend. So brothers and sisters, remember this. A friend of sinner was put there by the doctrine of demons through captured commensators or wolves in sheep’s clothing.

12:57 Purposely. They are purposely doing it. They are planted.

12:59 They are working for Satan or they are actually captives. They don’t know they’re doing this. They think this is true.

13:06 But if they just compare, they’re commentators, you know, that means they’re supposed to know the Bible. Don’t you think they should know John 15:15 which says, you’re my friend if you keep on doing what I
commanded, what I command those who don’t think they should know. That is why if any pastor, priest or whatever tells you something and it’s not true according to the scripture, then you can follow, cannot follow
them.

13:27 You have to follow. You cannot follow me. You have to follow the scripture.

13:31 Better follow the scripture. That is one of the biggest problems on earth right now for Christians. They just follow what people are telling.

13:38 They don’t want to check Scripture now. Then what will happen? Trouble will come. Because if you sincerely want to follow Jesus Christ and you end up following these things that people are telling you because
perhaps you cannot check scriptures, maybe you don’t understand or whatever, and Jesus still saves you because he will allow you turn to him completely with your heart.

13:58 Why? He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.

14:02 So even if you are doing traditions of men unknowingly he justified. But you won’t get much blessings on earth. You won’t have power on earth.

14:11 You want a power of Christ to cast out evil spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ, every wicked, unclean spirit of unbelief, get out. In the name of Jesus Christ, out of me.

14:13 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every spirit of confusion, every spirit of doctrines of men to get out of me. To get out of everyone who is listening to this. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every
spirit of every spirit of traditions of men, doctrines of demons to get out of the people who are listening to this.

14:13 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command it. I release a spirit of understanding, a spirit of truth of Christ into each of them who are listening to this in Jesus name. Ask of mercy for all of us that will begin to
follow Jesus Christ and keep his commandments and do what he commands us so that he one Day will die.

14:55 You’re my friend. In fact, for the disciples, he said, I do not call you servants anymore. Three years later, he’s about to go already.

15:02 Jesus Christ is about to go off, you know, that’s when he says, I do not call you servants any longer. For a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I call you friend.

15:11 And remember, he said, it is not you who have chosen me. I have chosen you. So he has to choose me as his friend.

15:17 I can’t just assume that Jesus Christ is my friend. Even I am serving now almost 20 years. Even when I’m serving now or 20 years, I cannot just assume.

15:27 That is pride. Jesus is my friend. Did he choose Me to be his friend or did he choose me to be his servant? Right now I believe I’m his servant.

15:33 Right now I believe I’m his servant. And he has not called me friend yet. Only when he calls me friend, I’ll humble myself.

15:43 Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you.

15:45 I will not assume and go ahead of God. I will not assume and go ahead of the Holy Spirit. And this kind of false thing goes.

15:53 One of the other things is Jesus helps those who help themselves. Jesus helps those who help themselves. I have already narrated a segment.

16:00 It’s not true. Not true at all. Jesus helps those who call on his name.

16:05 Jesus answers those who call on his name. Jesus helps those who go to him that are like that. So traditions of men, you better be careful.

16:13 Because what is the work of God? The scripture I’ve done before? The work of God is believing in the One whom He sent, Whom Father God sent. Is Jesus Christ. Believing in Jesus Christ, believing every day all his
promises, all his, including his caution.

16:32 Believing his cautions, believing his warnings, believing his statements, saying that you are my friends if you keep on doing what my command. Believing in him on and on and more and more, deeper and deeper, every
day is doing the work of God. And then he will move you.

16:47 He’ll put the steps of a righteous man ordered by Him. He will move you and you’ll find you have a great life, righteousness, peace and joy. Honored with the power of Christ in you.

16:56 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
