False teachings & Deny yourself

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 5 March 2016 A Saturday. FALSE teachings and deny yourself false teachings and deny yourself. Brothers and sisters, today being a Saturday tomorrow.

00:15 Today even a large number of people may be going to church tomorrow. Most Christians will be going to church service Sunday. But at the same time, we must understand this.

00:25 God is wanting us to check whether we are in false teachings or we are not. We are actually following Christ or we are not. Why is Jesus Christ the Spirit of God is telling us this.

00:37 Why? Because we are supposed to work out each one of us supposed to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. What is the workout? Whatever the Spirit of God tells us, we have to do. That is the proof.

00:51 Whatever Jesus commands us, we have to do. If you love me, keep my commandments. Jesus says so.

00:57 The proof of our love, the proof that we have actually been born again in the Spirit is we are doing things that are pleasing Christ. We are doing things that are keeping commandments of Christ, walking in his commandments. If you are not doing
that, there is no evidence that you are actually born again.

01:15 Now what is the working of salvation? Yes, salvation is by grace. But he died on the cross. He suffered.

01:22 He gave us blood. But now we must use the blood and the name of Jesus, Jesus Christ to make sure we don’t do wrong things. To make sure we don’t do wrong things, we must make sure that we meditate on the words of Christ and the word of God.

01:35 And when you keep on meditating on the word of God and it will change us, the word of God will change us. The Holy Spirit will tell us when we’re going towards wrong. He says, no, you pledge a stress in your spirit and you stop by the power of Jesus
Christ by saying blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, or in the name of Jesus Christ, you command that the evil spirit of anger or lust or whatever is coming to get out in the name of Jesus Christ and not to return.

02:01 In the name of Jesus Christ, you command your heart and mind to obey the word of God in the name of Jesus Christ. You command your heart and mind to crave for Jesus Christ and to love him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. There are so
many things you do.

02:14 This has all been taught again and again. But here in Matthew 16:6, 11:12, I’m going to read 16:6 verse, Jesus said to them, watch out and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, Pharisees and Sadducees, first of all, who
are the Pharisees? The Pharisees are people who are highly trained in law, the Jewish law, trained in law. And they stick to the law very legalistically they stick.

02:46 They actually burden people by interpreting the law any which way they want. Because they are educated class and in the law. And the people are not educated in the law.

02:55 So they begin to control them using the laws of God for their own purpose. They begin to control, they begin to burden people using the laws that they have studied. The Sadducees, on the other hand, are a priestly class.

03:10 They are the ones who take care of the temple and all that. And so they will put. They.

03:15 The Pharisees seduces, always disagree. They’re almost like enemies because they disagree. They on opposite poles they got different doctrines.

03:23 The Sadducees on the other hand, they are priestly cross and they focus on the temple. The temple, the temple. That’s why one scripture Jesus said that you tell them to swear by the gold in the temple.

03:39 What nonsense is that? But that is how when our heart catches on to something, because our hearts are wicked, we can turn it into. It may start with the right thing. That’s how the devil works.

03:50 He brings us into some right thing first and then turns into a wrong thing. So the Sadduce is the temple became the object. It’s not the souls of people.

03:59 The temple becomes the focal point. That’s why Jesus allows the temple to be destroyed. Allow the temple to be destroyed because the temple became the object.

04:10 So now brothers and sisters, in Matthew 16:11, 12 how is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about bread? When he said here in six watch out and be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees? And said, you see, the
disciples started thinking, did we not bring enough bread? Is it talking about bread and all that? So Jesus, knowing that in the Spirit told in leaven, how is it that you disciples failed to understand that I was not talking to you about bread, but
beware of the leaven of the pharisees and sadducees. 12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to be beware of the leaven of bread, but of the false teaching of the Pharisees and seduces now did not tell them about the leaven of the bread?
Leaven is like an yeast, you know, whereby you know, to rise up the bread, the dough, you have to put the yeast and let it stand for a while before you bake it. When it rises, then Only you can bake it many times, the cake.

05:15 You do that sometimes they use baking soda nowadays. Now, what is Jesus saying? Because leaven, when you put a little leaven, little yeast into a dough, and you mix it and leave it there, step by step, the leaven will go and rise up the whole bread.
First of all, this is not.

05:35 I’m just thinking, yeah, they puff up like the bread puffs up because of the leaven. So people puff up with pride. Also, leaven of Pharisees fall asleep.

05:46 The thing will begin to move and infiltrate every part of the dough very quickly. Infiltrate every part of the door. Therefore, he says, watch out.

05:55 The false teaching of the Pharisees, because it will infiltrate. It will enter and move to every part of your being. Every part of your being.

06:05 For instance, the Pharisees will have a whole lot of traditions. They change from the law. They tell this way, that way nobody can say anything.

06:11 Because they are the educated class of the Jew laws, the religious laws. And so they enter like this. And then people out brought into captivity.

06:20 Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. The seducer, on the other hand, they make people come to the temple and do all kinds of things, traditions and religious activities and all that.

06:35 But the souls of the men cannot change. Because that’s why he says, people worship me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. People worship me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

06:47 So the Sadducees, on the other hand, lock people up into tradition that they created, focusing on the temple, activities in the temple, so that they rule the place. They are the verses. So they control the people like that.

07:02 The Pharisees, on the other hand, they used to law and interpret this way, that way. And make traditions of the Pharisees and control the people. The people will becoming more and more burdened, more and more burdened.

07:15 That’s why he said, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. And some of this the Pharisees will not believe that Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. And he empowered his disciples.

07:26 Remember, there were 500 disciples. And he sent them two by two into the villages. And they went and cast out evil spirits.

07:35 They went and healed the sick. When they came back, they were jumping with joy and saying, even the demons are trembling. Demons fear us and this and that.

07:43 And Jesus said, do not be joyful over what you have done, casting out demons and demons and trembling, but be joyful that your name is written in the book in heaven. Book of life in heaven. Be joyful of that is it.

07:59 But soon after, I mean in the same event, Jesus start talking about unless you drink my blood and eat my flesh, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven immediately. A lot of them, most of them were offended and they said, how can he? They started, I
think like, you know, what is this man trying to make us a cannibal or what? How to eat his flesh and drink his blood. But remember, they know he gave them power.

08:26 They went and cast out all the evil spirit. They were healing the sick and yet they have this thing that they know something. If you know anything, if you think you know something, you do not know anything yet as you ought to know.

08:38 I keep telling you, I use that to safeguard myself. If I think I know something, I do not know anything as I ought to know. That’s the word of God.

08:42 If I think I’m something, when I’m nothing, I deceive myself. I use these two things regularly to keep my heart and my mind in check. I have to keep these two in check because they are actually soon they will take me over.

09:01 And that’s what happened to me. I went so far away from God, I was using folder words from God and all kinds of things. And so I don’t want to get back.

09:10 I know only Jesus is the way, the truth and life. I want to be the truth and I want him to come and take me home. And while here, when he gives me work, I want to do it.

09:19 I ask the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, I ask you, Holy Spirit, to make me do everything that Jesus wants me to do on earth. Amen. So that is how we live now.

09:33 So remember this, that fellows will put a little little by tradition that’s happening nowadays. It’s happened all the while. Churches, religious activities, religions, any religion, whether it is Catholic religion, Protestant religion, this way,
evangelical or whatever, these things will creep in because Satan will send false teachings inside there.

09:57 So they then lock you up with traditions and things. They’ll tell you to do things which will not going to gain you salvation, but only make you burdened with doing a lot of activities which is not getting your heart and mind changed. So therefore
get to Jesus.

10:13 So any tradition and all that that you know of tradition of man is not fruitful for you. In accordance with the word of God, you shouldn’t do. You should do what Jesus Christ tells you to do.

10:26 And he’s written down exactly what you want to do. You just for instance, we are dealing with the 50 commands of Jesus Christ. These are commands.

10:34 These are one of the commands. We are halfway through. We are dealing with this now.

10:40 I do not know how long the Lord God will let me deal with this. He may want to change it up to him. So, oh, I started the 50 commands of Jesus Christ.

10:49 I must stick on and do all. No. I used to say when I first came to the Lord, I’m footloose and fancy free.

10:55 Why footloose? Because there was a movie sometime earlier, before I came to the Lord. There’s a movie called Footloose. You know, footloose means you don’t control your own feet.

11:06 Your feet must be controlled by Jesus Christ. Where to go, what to do, where you’re moving. I want Jesus Christ, the spirit of God to control my feet.

11:14 So I am footloose. Fancy free means I am not having any fancy in my heart. I am not desiring anything in my heart.

11:21 I want him to put his desire. So I am footloose and fancy free. I am footloose and fancy free.

11:29 My foot, my feet must be determined by Jesus Christ, where it goes. My heart must be determined by Jesus Christ, what it needs, what you want, not my heart determine itself and my feet determine themselves. Where you want to go, brothers and
sisters? Take the stand.

11:44 Wherever, Lord, whatever you may do. I have not my will anymore. It’s your will, Lord.

11:49 Let your will be done. Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you to make me do Jesus will all the time and he’ll begin to. He’ll convict you.

11:59 Now when he convicts you, you don’t want to do then for the problem because you pray like this. And then when the conviction comes in your heart, don’t do this. Suppose you are smoking cigarettes and then you’re struggling with it.

12:11 And then the conviction comes. Hey, this cigarette is wrong. It’s killing me.

12:14 And also Jesus suffered on the cross. If you take a moment looking at the cross, his beard all torn, he’s suffering. And they whacked him earlier the whole night long.

12:26 And all the skin are in ribbons, you know, torn like ribbons. Because they used the whip and the gas, the skin, all that is now hanging on the cross for you. If you take a moment when a temptation comes, if you take a moment and think of that, oh,
my Jesus, you suffered like that for me.

12:43 Then you still want to smoke. Then something is wrong. Because you are then not wanting to control your heart and mind.

12:50 And you can control your heart and mind before, cannot now. By the blood of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ, you can control it. You have been taught this, so please do that.

13:00 If you don’t do that means you are going against Christ and your life only mess up. Why nobody on earth can stop you. Because it is yield your choice.

13:09 But the devil who came to steal, kill and destroy will not leave you in peace. Will not leave you in peace. He will keep on attacking you.

13:16 That is why, brothers, how do we recognize? The main recognition to false teaching and real teaching is this. This is in also Matthew, Luke 9, 23. He was saying to them all, Jesus, if anyone wishes to follow me, he must deny himself and take up his
cross daily.

13:41 And if need be suffering. You must deny yourself and pick up the cross. Deny the cigarette, deny the you know heart.

13:48 You will not get a cigarette, no mind. You will not get a cigarette, no body will not get a cigarette in Jesus Christ’s name. And you begin to drink a lot of water or something and run away.

13:57 The people who are smoking and the thoughts will come, the feeling will come, the taste even will come to your mouth. This is all I know, brothers and sisters. You think I was not suffering.

14:04 I was not a real smoker, but I was a real drunken. I know the taste will come when you sit there. As temptation comes, you can feel it in your throat.

14:12 It tastes exactly like my whiskey or the brandy. Now you see expensive ones, money all lost there. So I know the taste when the attack comes.

14:18 So I know this. So you better understand. Look at the cross.

14:23 Look at the cross. He’s suffering on the cross. He is now.

14:27 Then you say I deny myself in the name of Jesus Christ. If you do not want to do this, then you are not wanting to follow Jesus. And then the devil will destroy your body, destroy your mind, destroy everything.

14:39 He did. Only Jesus saved me. He did to me, brothers and sisters.

14:44 So now if anyone wishes to follow me, he must deny himself and pick up the cross daily. Daily. Daily.

14:50 Daily. Not today. Stop smoking.

14:52 Tomorrow you start smoking. No, daily. Now remember this, this thing.

14:56 This is one major way to see whether people teaching you the right thing or not. Are they teaching you to deny yourself and pick up the cross and follow Jesus daily? Deny yourself. You know, many false Christianity has taken place.

15:10 Teachers will not tell you to deny yourself. They say no, no. Jesus will see you through.

15:15 Jesus what? You have to make a decision. And now you tell me I was such a drunkard, I was violent, I was gone, I was adulterer, sexually immoral, all kind of sins there. And now I come to Christ 20 years ago and I have to Deny myself.

15:36 So these people are teaching you nothing or denying yourself and obeying Jesus command? They are false. Teach. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.

15:44 Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees. They’re going to destroy your life if you follow these people. Run away now.

15:53 When they deny you, then some will teach you deny yourself. They tell you that, but they don’t give you the power. They don’t give you the.

16:00 In the name of Jesus Christ. You can deny yourself in the name of Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus.

16:06 They will tell you, you must come to the church to get the blood of Jesus. They’ll tell you, come to the church to get the blood of Jesus and body of Jesus. No, it is with you.

16:15 Jesus Christ is in you. When Jesus Christ is in you and the Bible says he is already in you, he doesn’t come down in some kind of a ceremony and enter some bread or something. And then that is inside you.

16:30 The Bible is very clear. Jesus Christ is inside you. You are in Jesus Christ.

16:35 So you now daily pick up the cross. Deny yourself. Pick up the cross and follow him.

16:40 And the blood is inside you also. The spirit of God is inside you. The name of Jesus Christ inside you.

16:46 The body of Jesus Christ all inside you. So you use the blood of Jesus Christ. Blood of Jesus Christ, Blood of Jesus Christ, blood of Jesus.

16:54 Believe me, do not follow the leaven of the Pharisees. Do not follow false teachings. Brothers and sisters, in Jesus name I pray.

17:01 Amen.
