Fear of man & Take My Yoke

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily. 4 March 2016, titled Fear of Men and Take My Yoke. Brothers and sisters, before we start today, let me just say that there’s one Brother Tony, he’s from
Cambodia, he started translating the Power of Christ daily and he came for a visit to visit the Power of Christ congregation here in Kuala Lumpur.

00:31 And he spent a few days here and he was thank Jesus, he was blessed and we were blessed to have him here. And he was taught so many from so many other pastors and all were teaching him on how to do the healing and the deliverance and all that and
casting out and all this in Jesus name. And he has returned yesterday safely to Cambodia and we pray he’ll continue.

00:56 He will continue to do the good work that God had given him to do in Cambodia. And he is a youth leader and he will begin to teach others, empowering them. Teach others means empowering others, giving power to others, the power of Christ, talking to
people about the power of Christ.

01:15 But Jesus Christ wants power for each one to be set free. So in this way each soul will be set free. We are not trying to gather everybody in one place because it is impossible.

01:27 People are all over the world. Jesus wants each one to be set free and to exercise the power. And that’s why even the disciples, when the apostles, when Jesus left Jesus allowed chaos in Jerusalem, persecution.

01:45 And so the disciples had to move and go and begin to minister elsewhere. They went to other towns, other cities, other countries because and went around empowering people and turning them to Christ, turning them to Christ. And those who wanted to be
disciples, then they sat there and started teaching them and they formed a congregation there.

02:05 It is not the building and everything else. So this is well, Brother Tony, I know by God’s mercy, if he continues like this, he’ll be blessed. He’s already blessed.

02:15 We are blessed to have him and he’s blessed and he will do the Cambodian work. Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Likewise, I know so many here in the Power of Christ, whether in India, because we have so Tamil translation, whether in India and we
have some Chinese translation which is not enough, but some work is being done there.

02:36 And likewise those who are sending to others, others to give them the power of Christ to cast out diversity to the breath of God. You know so many things there people can then stand and know the truth. The truth is not just following a tradition or
religion.

02:54 Jesus Christ is the husband of our souls. He wants us to present our soul as chaste. Virgin to Christ.

03:03 This is it. This is it. Each soul, when we tell them this and those who want it, they will begin to pray and talk to Jesus Christ and begin to exercise the power given by Jesus Christ.

03:16 And the daily reminder from the power of Christ coming, they will be able to move closer and closer to Christ and begin to be the salt and light and fulfill the destiny that Jesus Christ put each one of us here. For because we are a pilgrim here,
there’s nothing here on earth for us. It will be all.

03:36 Naked we came, and naked we shall return. From dust we came, with dust we shall return. That’s a body part.

03:42 But our spirit man will go, go back to Christ. Brothers and sisters. Important.

03:49 Each one of us to turn to Christ. Not turn to me. Not to turn.

03:53 Yes, we share each other the knowledge of Christ. We remind ourselves the knowledge of Christ. And we remind ourselves knowing Christ, not just knowing of him.

04:04 And then we begin to move and we begin to share this with others. And those who want will do. We are nothing.

04:13 We deceive ourselves. We think we are something. We are nothing without Christ.

04:18 And we help others, help care for others, love others, love even our enemies. To be sons of the Most High God, we have to love even the enemies. And then we are blessed.

04:31 He said, pray for them who persecute you. Bless them who persecute you, because then it will be sons of the Most High God. So therefore, brothers and sisters, this is a great thing.

04:42 So we have the power to do this. We have the power to love our enemies. Now, today, fear of men.

04:48 Fear of man takes many forms. Fear of man takes. Man not just sheds.

04:48 Fear of man takes very subtle forms. Now let’s see what Jesus Christ is saying in Matthew 10:28. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul, but rather be afraid of him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

05:10 In Luke 12, 4, 5. I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body. After that, I have nothing more that they can do.

05:19 But I will point out to you whom you should fear. Fear the one who after he has killed, has authority and power to hurl you into hell. Yes, I say to you, stand in great awe of God and fear him.

05:32 Now, this fear. Remember this. When we become children of God, we love God.

05:38 We love God. You know, we fear this fear is awe and reverence. Awe and reverence.

05:47 This fear is actually because, you see, I told you, all the English language is limited because the Asian language, Hebrew, Greek, Chinese, Tamil, all Are Asian languages. They have many shades of meanings of one word. The English word doesn’t have
such extent.

06:02 So what they do, they finally find one word that is nearest and put there this fear. Of course, if we do wrong, we better fear. If we are doing wrong, we don’t care what God says and we are doing wrong, we better fear what God will do.

06:19 People say, don’t fear God. Don’t fear God. No, no.

06:21 If you are doing wrong, you better fear God. If you are doing wrong, you have to fear God because he can send you to hell. Better understand this.

06:30 But when we are children of God, we don’t want to do wrong. Our intention is to love God and serve him and love Jesus Christ. That time that fear becomes awe and oh my God is great reverence.

06:43 My God, I will kneel down and worship you. Jesus, my friend, Business and all that is error. Because he only called disciples after three and a half years, he called them.

06:54 From today I call you friends. I do not call you servants anymore. That is, the disciples served with him for three and a half years.

07:03 People are telling people you are friend of Jesus. You are a friend of Jesus. Yes, Jesus calls you a friend.

07:10 Accept it. Humble yourself, but humble yourself to know you are a servant. You are a servant.

07:17 Our heart and mind is very wicked. Easily you will take control. You know, a friend of Jesus.

07:22 A friend of Jesus. You think you’re something. Unless Jesus told you he’s your friend.

07:27 You better understand you’re a servant. That’s all. Humble ourselves.

07:31 That’s why Jesus says what? When you go to a function, don’t take the front seat, take the back seat. And when people bring you to the front seat, you are blessed. But if you go to the front seat and somebody tells you, go back to the back seat or
go away because somebody else will come and sit front seat.

07:47 How? That’s why always humble ourselves. Humble ourselves. We are nothing.

07:51 And if we think we know something, he says, you do not know anything yet as you ought to know. And you think you are something when you are nothing. We deceive ourselves.

08:02 These are important scriptures for controlling our own heart. Because our hearts are like this. Our minds are oh terrible worldly every day bombarded.

08:11 Now here the fear of man is one thing to remember, not just hear men. There are many times here men and you do not know. For instance, somebody comes and tells you something and then you dare not they are wrong.

08:24 When they are wrong and you dare not tell them and you agree. When you agree, you agree and keep quiet. Or do that is fear of men.

08:33 Fear of men. For instance, you want to please them. You do not want to.

08:38 You don’t want to say what is right and wrong. But people tell you do something wrong and then you begin to do because you fear men and then because you don’t offend them. Sometimes, you know, people say, I didn’t want to offend them.

08:50 No, that’s why I did it. Hey, you offend God, brother. Understand, sister? Understand? You offend God.

08:58 When people tell you to do something, you don’t go and do until it is right in Jesus Christ. But if you do it, you actually having a fear of man. You can cast it out.

09:09 That’s the solution. Cast it out in the name of Jesus Christ. I will not fear man, but I will be humble.

09:15 I command my heart and mind not to fear man, but to fear God and also reverence, to love Jesus Christ. Do not want to offend him in any way. I want to please Jesus Christ all the time.

09:28 So I want to do exactly what his word says. So even when men tell me to do something and it’s not against Christ, he, and it’s against the Spirit telling me is wrong, I will humbly tell them, I can’t do this. I can’t do this.

09:43 Why? Because I’ve taken a covenant. I’ve taken an oath with Jesus that I’ll only do what Jesus says. And if I break this covenant, if I break this oath, I will suffer.

09:55 A curse will come upon me for breaking covenants. Now when you begin, and then the other thing again, the curse will come upon others who are making me break covenants. So I don’t want anybody to be affected.

10:05 Let it be affected by myself. I cannot do. I’m sorry this can happen now because, you see, you might understand when people ask you to do something which is not correct in Christ, you cannot.

10:19 You do it because you want to please. There’s somebody who cares for you, cares for you all your life. You want to please them, but you please God first.

10:27 You please Jesus Christ first and then you ask. This is for mercy for them because they cannot see. They may still be angry with you, but you ask Jesus for mercy for them and you forgive them.

10:37 And you love them. You love everyone, including your enemies. You love and you can command your heart and mind to love.

10:43 Brothers and sisters, today this fear of man is actually very subtle. Man pleasing, not God pleasing. Are you man pleasing and not God pleasing? But when you cannot do, you must humble yourself to explain to them.

10:58 If they don’t understand you Ask protection from Jesus Christ and you stand and accept what comes. Why? That is the persecution we’re supposed to take when standing for righteousness. Standing for righteousness? Whose righteousness? Righteousness in
Christ.

11:15 What it tells you to do, brothers and sisters. It’s hard sometimes, but that is why we deny ourselves and pick up the cross. Deny ourselves and pick up the cross.

11:25 Brothers and sisters, the next issue is this. So when you want to tell people that you cannot do, you find a way. You pray.

11:32 You pray in tongues even, and ask Jesus for guidance. Take counsel. Take counsel among godly people.

11:40 Who give you godly counsel? Not self seeking counsel. Some people give godly counsel. You can even Write to the placeoflife.com and ask the servants there.

11:50 Somebody will help you with some counsel. Counsel without their own agendas. Godly, sincere counsel will be given and then you use it.

11:59 But when you approach these people, go with attitude of humility. Humbleness. No.

12:06 I serve Jesus Christ, so I cannot do this. I serve Jesus Christ, so I cannot do it. I say, I praise the Lord.

12:07 I cannot do this. I serve Jesus Christ. I follow Jesus Christ.

12:07 I cannot do all this. I cannot do all this. There is pride.

12:18 Humble yourself. Sorry, I can’t do this. Because I have taken an oath.

12:23 I’ve taken a covenant. I’ll be cursed. And a curse will come if I break this covenant.

12:28 Brothers and sisters, humbleness is the greatest thing we must do. Humble ourselves. Humble ourselves.

12:34 Now, brothers and sisters, the other thing is take my yoke upon you and learn from me. This is in Matthew 11:29. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.

12:45 Following me as my disciple, For I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest, renewal, blessed quiet for your souls. Rest.

12:56 Rest means renewed. Blessed quiet for your soul. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.

13:02 For I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest for your souls, brothers and sisters. This one.

13:08 Let’s look at it. Be gentle. Business again.

13:11 Same English mistranslation. If Jesus gentiles, then why did Jesus go and tell the Pharisees, you brood of wifers, you brood of snakes, you’re from your father, the devil. He was telling all this.

13:25 And then he even made a rope and whipped everybody, chased everybody out of the temple, broke every table there, because all the fellows had done wrong things. You have made my father’s house a den of things. My father’s house a house of prayer.

13:37 You met my father’s house a den of things. Thieves. And he started walking, turning, table breaking big Chaos.

13:44 Hundreds of people were running all over the place. How does this relate with the word gentle? Now this Gentile is compassion for people. People who are suffering, people who are suffering, people who are broken hearted, not people who are proud and
this and that, doing their own thing.

14:03 Then this gentle won’t apply. Because this gentleman is compassionate but downtrodden. For the people who are suffering, brokenhearted, crushing anguish, sorrow, he wants to settle now those fellows are proud and this and that.

14:18 He will deal with them. He will deal. He is the King of kings and Lord of Lords.

14:23 But you and I don’t deal. You and I. He doesn’t want us getting involved in this rubbish. He said he is a creator, he can deal.

14:30 You and I are created. Even the fellow who is proud and doing all kinds of things, he is also a created being. He said, you both are created being.

14:37 You don’t get involved. You love your enemy. Even you love your enemy.

14:41 Now human enemies are Satan. We don’t love. We cast out in Jesus Christ’s name.

14:46 You love your enemy. Now he said he will take. Vengeance is mine.

14:51 God said that he can do because he created them also. We didn’t create the fellow who is causing us trouble. No.

14:57 So we cannot get involved. He created so he can destroy. We didn’t create the person who is giving us trouble.

14:57 So we cannot go and do all this. We humble ourselves and love them. And even when they have difficulty, we try and bless them.

15:10 We try and help them with what we can then become sons of the most High God. Sisters, you are the sons of the most high God. Love your enemies.

15:18 Now take my yoke upon yoke is the thing that holds two cows together, two bullock carts together, two bulls and the bullock cart are holding together the yoke, the ba between them. Learn from me, from gentle, humble in the heart. He’s humble in the
heart, not just humble.

15:35 There’s false humility over people. Put on. Hello, brother.

15:38 Hello, sister. How are you? In the heart I may be full of pride. You won’t know unless you’re looking at the spirit.

15:45 Jesus wants humble, true humility in the heart. In the heart. To know we are nothing, we better understand we are nothing.

15:52 That’s the first sign of humbleness. I am nothing, Lord Jesus, without you I cannot do anything. And the heart to know that if I think I’m something, I deceive myself when I’m nothing.

16:04 If I think I know something and when actually I do not know anything yet as I ought to know. So when I know something also I must say, shut up. Shut up.

16:07 I do not know anything that I ought to know. What I know I use. And then with that when we learn from Jesus Christ, not learn from people writing simple books Here people read books after books after books.

16:24 Yeah, you can listen and read some of it. But you must learn from Jesus Christ. If the book is teaching you to learn from Jesus Christ.

16:32 Good book. If the book is teaching you their own traditions of man and this and that, don’t bother. Learn from Jesus Christ.

16:40 You think the Bible is not enough? Learn from Jesus Christ, not learn. Yeah, you can read other books, but remember the book must be turning you to Jesus Christ, making you an empowered in Jesus Christ. So today use the power of Christ.

16:54 Cast out evil spirit, cast out spirit of confession, fear and everything else in Jesus Christ’s name and receive the power of Christ today. Amen.
