Watch and pray & Feed my sheep

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 12 March 2016 A Saturday. Watch and pray and feed my sheep. These are Jesus words.

00:12 We are dealing with the commandments of Jesus Christ. Watch and pray and feed my sheep. Brothers and sisters, the command is in Matthew 26:41.

00:22 Matthew 26:41. I am reading from Amplified. Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation.

00:32 The Spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.

00:43 Brothers and sisters, today let’s remember this. There are a lot of churches, lot of people will be telling you to pray for this and pray for that. In fact, we will be sitting in Asia.

00:54 They say, pray for America. Then they will say, pray for Jerusalem so that we are blessed. So people praying, the reason they are praying for Jerusalem, the peace of Jerusalem, is so that they be blessed.

01:05 Because that’s an obscure scripture they’ve taken and they made it out of context. So everybody thinks they can just pray for Jerusalem and be blessed. Brothers and sisters, blessing comes from Christ.

01:19 Christ, it is finished. He said on the cross 2,000 years ago, it is finished. It’s finished.

01:26 By his birth, he suffered, he died, he went into hell, he rose again. Now his faith is what we need. We need to believe in his faith.

01:35 We need to believe in Jesus Christ. And the belief, according to your belief, will be done unto you. Whatsoever you believe without doubting, ask in prayer according to the will of God, will be done unto you.

01:50 Brothers and sisters, if it’s a simple matter of just praying for Jerusalem, we will be blessed. That’s really out of context. Why then you can sin and sin and sin and just pray for Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed.

02:02 And that is why the people are still in a mess. People’s lives are total mess. Many are mess.

02:08 They’re suffering. No peace. No peace and no peace in the house.

02:13 No peace in their soul that things are breaking up. Oh, because I’m doing This thing for 20 years, I see all kinds of troubles. And then when I get to the bottom of it, it will be that they have misunderstood.

02:27 They think they don’t have to examine themselves, they don’t have to deny themselves, pick up the cross. They don’t have to deny the flesh nothing. But they just have to do some of the religious activities that the false teaching, false teachers
have told them.

02:43 And their hearts also like it. Why their hearts like it? Because they do not want to address our sin Jesus said, they do not want to come to me because they want to keep their sin. So those who do not want to go to Jesus Christ.

02:56 Now, Jesus Christ means what? Deny yourself and pick up the cross. If you love me, keep my commandments. Now that has not been talked about in many, many places.

03:08 If ritualistic Christianity is thought about all, oh, come and do this, come and do that. Do all activity traditions of men. But the first thing Jesus said is what the last thing he said before he left earth is preach the gospel.

03:25 That those who believe these signs will follow. They will cast out evil spirits in my name. Now, that’s why you have to start casting out evil spirits in Jesus Christ’s name.

03:36 Why do we cast out? Because we have become captives of these evil spirits, captives of demons. Oh, they’re not going to put on a show for you. They’re not going to put oha and all that, you know, demonized thing.

03:49 It’s not going to be like that. It will be a simple captivity in. Captivity in sin, captivity in some addiction.

03:55 You cannot let go of cigarettes. You cannot let go of sexual immorality. You cannot let go of lying.

03:55 You cannot let go of of jealousy. You cannot let go of envy. You cannot let go of anger.

04:06 It’s like that. So when you cannot let go of anything of this that is harming you, which is not of Christ, if you cannot let go of anything that is not of Christ, is against Christ, then you are a captive. Captive.

04:21 And that is why Jesus said, cast out evil spirits in my name. You have to start doing that first. This is the only way.

04:28 You are going to be set free by Jesus Christ by using his name, using his power, believing in his command to cast out, cast out the evil spirit of anger, cast out the evil spirit of jealousy, cast out the evil spirit of anxiousness or anxiety, cast
out the evil spirit of worry. Now you cast out. Cast out.

04:49 That is praying. You’re praying, you’re casting out. You’re casting out.

04:53 That is why he said, watch and pray. Watch and pray. Did you say do ritualistically? In fact, he says, don’t do as the unbelievers do.

05:01 Repeating your prayer on and on and on. The same sentence being repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated 10 times, 100 times. Whatever he said, that is pointless, that you do not even know who they are praying to.

05:15 They just repeat and repeat and repeat. Here he says, watch and pray. Watch what? Watch.

05:22 Watch what, brother? Watch that we do not come into temptation. We do not come to temptation. There is some temptation coming to us.

05:30 How Are we tempted when we are drawn by our own heart desire? That’s how we are tempted. Remember temptation better understand this clearly. He has spelled out all this for us.

05:42 Temptation comes when we are drawn by our own heart desire. Then temptation comes. When temptation is full blown, sin comes.

05:49 And sin is full blown, death comes. Now, physically, you may die many years later. But in the meantime, you died in the spirit.

05:59 Spirit death. You know the spirit. Man is dead because they didn’t sin.

06:05 Then. You now have to be made alive in Christ. When you believe in Christ, the Spirit of God will come and use the blood of Jesus Christ and wash away your sins and your spirit man will become alive in Christ.

06:18 Now, actively watching and praying. Watch and pray. Watch and watch yourself.

06:25 Watch what? Watch Jerusalem. No, watch yourself. Watch yourself.

06:30 Jesus already said, my kingdom is not of this world. My kingdom is not of this world. So he is coming to establish a new kingdom.

06:39 So therefore he wants you to be settled with him. Seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness first and all his things will be added unto you. Seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness first.

06:55 Did he say, pray for Jerusalem? There’s one scripture saying, pray for Jerusalem. That you know that you are blessed. You know the peace of Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed.

07:05 But the point again is this. That is, remember this. He was saying this before he died and rose again.

07:14 He’s saying before he died and rose again. When he rose again, then he says this in Christ, there’s no Jew or Gentile, there’s no Jew or unbeliever. That is all one in one in Christ, you are Christians.

07:31 These things he spoke to the Jews when he was walking this earth. And it’s not gone on the cross yet. So now what people are doing to twist the thing.

07:42 Pray for peace of Jerusalem and you’ll be blessed. Pray for peace of Jerusalem and people start praying for the peace of Jerusalem, Why they want to be blessed. But the actual blessing, he already told you, seek the kingdom of God and righteousness
first.

07:55 And all this will be added. All your needs will be settled. You are blessed.

08:00 You are blessed. All your needs will be settled. Now, the sign that you can check is this.

08:07 If you are praying for the peace of Jerusalem and you see your life and your conduct is still in a mess. In a mess, you may have money. That’s not the only blessing.

08:15 Blessing. Blessing means money, Money, money. Yeah, we need the money.

08:19 It’s incidental to our life. Oh, but don’t make it the main thing to our life. Because the Main thing of life is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

08:26 That’s the main thing. He is the main thing to our life. He is life.

08:30 I am the way, the truth and life. Money is not our life. It’s incidental to our life.

08:36 And Jesus said he will provide our needs and he does. I’ve seen this in not my case alone, other cases, other people, other souls ministering for this for so long. A lot of people who follow this righteousness, peace and joy seeking the kingdom of
God.

08:51 They’ve been blessed. First, watching and praying that you may not come into temptation. So you recognize temptation watch means examine yourself watching.

09:01 That’s why the examining yourself is critical. You examine yourself. Is your heart being drawn to things that are not of Christ? Is your heart being drawn to the ways of the world? Is your heart being drawn to things that are not of God? Is your
heart is being drawn to those things.

09:19 You immediately cut it in the name of Jesus Christ and command that spirit. Because there’s some demon communicating with your heart and drawing your heart. Our heart is treacherously wicked.

09:31 A demon is actively talking to your heart and drawing your heart. You better start dealing with the heart by renewing in the spirit of the mind. Now you begin to take the word of God.

09:42 Now watch the word of God. First you have watched yourself. You examine yourself.

09:46 Now you watch the word of God in the spirit. Read the word of God again and again. That’s related to your situation.

09:54 The temptation when you watch already, you know that particular temptation. Let’s say anger coming. Okay, then what? Anyone angry with a brother without a cause is a murderer.

10:04 So you begin to say, I don’t want to be a murderer in Jesus name heart. You shut up. Mind you shut up.

10:10 God’s word is this. If I’m angry with people without a cause, I’m a murderer, brother. Now if I’m angry, anger will harm me.

10:19 All kinds of cortisol will be produced by the adrenal glands and there will be a lot of damage. Inflammation taking place all over me. Why? This cortisol is a hormone that produces when you’re angry, when you’re upset, when you’re fear, when you’re
confused, all that will happen.

10:36 So this cortisol. Oh, no, no. We need cortisol.

10:39 But then if we continue being angry, then begin to damage your body. Now all kinds of things are coming. Now, brothers and sisters, today you watch and pray.

10:47 You examine yourself. You watch whether you’re going into temptation or not. So some people call you to go somewhere.

10:54 Is it causing you temptation? Now One of the things I always see is people who are not rooted. They do not put Christ first. They want Christ.

11:04 They want Christ. They want to put Christ first. But when a situation comes, immediately the mind forgets about that.

11:11 They forget it is Jesus Christ who settles you. They forget that what they do immediately they begin to be drawn. Because they have to go with the people of the world to go and settle some things.

11:22 They are drawn there. They go in there because they are hoping that finally, before you know it, your faith becomes on the faith of man. You are putting your faith in man.

11:30 God said, do not put your faith in man. Now, why then the man says this, the man says that. And then you begin to follow here, this way, that way.

11:37 Because now you have forgotten that provided for you is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the only one died for you. Rose again now.

11:45 Now when you begin to now begin. Yeah. Jesus will use man to help you from time to time.

11:51 But do not put your faith in man. Be grateful to the man. But do not put your faith in man.

11:57 So the man said, no, no. Now I have to. You know I have to.

12:01 Suddenly I have to call you. Then what happens? I’ve seen this. Not one person, many people over the years.

12:06 Then they begin to think. Okay, I think I do not bother, but said, today I have to wait for this man’s call. If I go to church, I cannot attend to this man.

12:14 Suddenly he calls. Now faith is where. Faith is in the man.

12:18 Now automatically. Jesus Christ is far from you now. You have left him.

12:25 You’re left thinking about him. You’re left about faith in him. You left your trust in him, your life.

12:32 You look back and see how did you get life. You were in a mess then only your life came. You are in pain and Jesus settled you.

12:39 You have all kinds of health issues. Jesus settled you. Look at that.

12:43 Look, your family has no peace. That’s Jesus settled you. But suddenly, for one issue, step by step, the devil will draw you.

12:49 He’ll draw you somewhere. And you do not know. Never watch and pray.

12:53 Watch. Am I putting Jesus Christ first? If I do not put Jesus Christ first and I begin to put the faith in men. What is this? Suppose that service today and you begin to think.

13:04 No, no, I will wait for the call. If not, I may lose this thing. The man will call.

13:09 The man will call. Faith is where in the man. If you say, no, Lord, I trust you.

13:15 You’re the one who settles everything. I will go and settle your first. Put God first.

13:20 Put the things of God first. Put the things of Jesus Christ first, put the things of Jesus Christ first. So you watch and pray, and then you pray, commanding your heart and mind.

13:30 No, my trust will not be in men. My. My trust will be in Jesus Christ.

13:34 Then the devil cannot steal from you. The devil cannot steal from you. But if you are moved by this, and it happens because you are in the world.

13:42 Therefore Jesus told the disciples, you are in the world, but you are not of this world. You are in the world, but not of this world means two different things. You are in the world, we all are in the world.

13:52 But we are not born of this world. We are born of God. We are born of Jesus Christ.

13:57 Always put Jesus Christ first, brothers and sisters. Therefore, this issue, this issue of trusting Christ, slowly your heart will go, you know, develop. Yeah.

14:07 It is tempted to me also from time to time, and cut the thing in Jesus Christ’s name. But if you put Jesus all the time first, first, first, suddenly the Holy Spirit will tell you, no, don’t do this. Do the things of God first.

14:20 You go to service to serve, not to be served. To serve and not to be served. So when you go to service, you are thinking of others.

14:29 How do I serve them? What word will I talk to them? What can I tell the children? What I can tell the women? What can I share that happened in my life that can glorify Jesus Christ today? How do I break bread with my brothers and sisters? How do I
have a meal with them today? This my family in Christ. I have to go. I have to go.

14:47 Oh, that time the heart would tell. Hey, you lose the thing. Man said he’ll call you.

14:51 Yeah, if he calls, then if you can go. Supposing, on the other hand, flood, can you go? Cannot flood. You stay at the house waiting for this call.

15:01 Waiting for this call. And the flood happens. Big traffic jam.

15:05 Can go, cannot go. What happens when you. Let’s say you have so much of pain in your knees and you cannot get up and walk? Can you go, cannot go.

15:13 Who’s going to settle you? Only Jesus Christ can settle you. That’s why. But then, if you do not put Jesus Christ first, and you put the things of God you do not do first.

15:23 And you put the things of man. That one they told you. And then you’re hanging on to this.

15:27 That’s exactly what the devil will come to steal. And now he has a right. He has a right.

15:33 I told you, even our money, if you surrender to Jesus Christ, the fellow cannot steal. But if I keep it to myself and decide how I do with my money as I wish. The devil can steal, but from Jesus Christ he can’t steal.

15:46 Now the Pharaoh will come and tempt you now. Now, the very thing you are now depending on, hoping on. Now you do not have it because he can steal from you.

15:56 Why you did not put the things of God first? You did not put the things of Jesus Christ first. Always put the things of Jesus Christ first. Now, I cannot force you.

16:09 I can only tell you how the spirit world works. How the spirit world working. How the devil tempts us.

16:13 How the devil takes our faith, slowly. Draws our heart. How our wicked heart very quickly goes in faith in man and not on God.

16:23 Our wicked heart quickly goes to the faith of man and not in God. Brothers and sisters, today remember this. Watch and pray.

16:29 Watch and pray. Watch that we do not fall into temptation. Body is weak.

16:34 The Bible says, command the body to stand down. Command the heart and mind to rise up in Jesus Christ and follow Jesus and the faith in Jesus. The spirit man is willing.

16:45 Yes. Watch and pray. Watch and pray.

16:48 Put the things of Jesus Christ always first. Always first. For your own safety.

16:53 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
