00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 20 December 2015 the belt of Truth. The Belt of Truth Brothers and sisters, let’s remind ourselves. Did we examine ourselves
last night? Did we ask for forgiveness from people or certainly revenge as anything? Did we examine ourselves? Did we do the right thing? Did we do the right thing that Jesus wants us to do? Were we allowed our
hearts and mind to control us? Did we refer to the Word of God? Did we lean trust in Jesus Christ, trust in the Word of God? Or did we trust in our own mind and what the world has told us or somebody has told us or
whatever? Did we walk in the truth? Or did we have our own truth? Our own truth or the world’s truth? Or what they taught us in schools? And what is truth? This what is truth I’ll deal with another day if God leads
me to but today there is issue the Belt of Truth.

00:09 The Belt of truth. Ephesians 4:14 I’m reading from the amplified the Belt of Truth so that we are no longer children, spiritually immature. Children in Christ means what Spiritually immature.

01:21 Tossed back and forth like ships on a stormy sea and carried about by every wind of shifting doctrine. This doctrine, that doctrine. They say this, they say that.

01:32 And by the cunning and trickery of unscrupulous men. Cunning and trickery of men, unscrupulous men. People out of the cheaters, out of corners, out of the deceivers, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do
anything for personal profit.

01:50 Now this is very critical, brothers and sisters. Are we tossed about to and fro by every wind of shifting doctrine, by cunning and trickery of unscrupulous men, crooks, wicked, evil, cheaters, liars, deceivers, how
to. And by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything for personal profit.

02:18 Now, brothers and sisters, sadly there are a lot of people. Of course the world is doing this. I of course have also before born again, I’ve schemed to get for personal profit.

02:28 But after, when I was born again, when God has got me, I know he’s the truth. I have to live in the truth. Otherwise I am the way, the truth and life.

02:33 I am the way, the truth and life. There is another scripture to say. If you are my disciples indeed, then you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.

02:46 So we have to be disciples of Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth and life. So what is the truth? The truth is a person.

02:53 It is Jesus Christ, the Truth is not what anybody thinks this way, that way the world tells and all. So if you are my disciples, indeed that means we truly believe Him. If you truly believe him, we will do what he
says.

03:05 We will keep his commandments. At least we are willing to keep his commandments and he actually does it for us. Then only we know the truth and then only the truth can set us free.

03:16 That’s a very simple scripture. Go there now here it says people are carried away by this. But sadly I’ve seen people claiming to be Christians.

03:30 They say they’re Christians. In fact I’ve seen people was supposed to be pastors who are doing this deceitfully scheming of people ready to do anything for personal profit. They’re scheming and doing things.

03:44 They’re giving with programs and what have you and tell you, do this way, do that way, enter this program, enter that program, put so much money this way, put so much money that way. And they actually scheming so
that they will get profit, so they will get recognition, so there will be promotion. Particularly this happens in the mlm, the multi level marketing.

04:05 It happens like this because they are tempted already. They actually might have been actually wanting to follow Christ. But now they are falling into sin.

04:14 They got caught by the world again. So they begin to tell things to people to join the program so that they do not they can be promoted or they can meet their quota or they can get back the money that they invested
and that this has involved thousands of dollars or ringgits for a lot of people lost it. Brothers and sisters, let’s not be moved by this cunning trickery of unscrupulous mental commander.

04:43 In Ephesians 4:14 God says, Do not be moved by the cunning trickery of unscrupulous men. Do not be moved this way and that way, carried away this way, that way. So don’t listen.

04:54 You must use your sound God given mind or take godly counsel. Godly counsel is counsel people are giving where they are not gaining anything. They are only telling the word of God.

05:05 But it may offend you when people tell you the word of God. The truth may offend you. Because your heart and mind might have already decided to do the thing your heart and mind already caught.

05:16 Because our hearts are treacherously wicked. God says and. And who can know it? Who can know it means you don’t know it.

05:23 God is saying, look here my son Chrissy Lutz, your heart is treacherously wicked. Who can know it means he’s telling me, my son Chris eludes you’re a pastor now. I made you a pastor, but you don’t know your own
heart.

05:36 But I know my son. I will protect you. You come to me.

05:40 Use my word. Lean on my word. Lean on my commandments.

05:45 Their lives lean on my word, depend on my word. Follow my words. Follow my commandments.

05:51 There are prescriptions to you, Chrisilul, and this is life for you. So brothers and sisters, go to the word of God because it is life. Now in Ephesians 4:14 it is extremely clear.

06:03 Do not fall into cunning and tricks of this unscrupulous man. And cheaters, crooks, they don’t care about you. By the deceitful scheming of people means tricks, you know, this way, that way.

06:17 In Tamil they say tilmil, you know, doing this way, that way convince you ready to do anything for personal profit. For personal profit. Brothers and sisters, if any of you are hearing this today, cry out to Christ.

06:33 If you have done this and people have lost money, stop it. Get out of the schemes. Try and live a simple life in Christ so that Christ will then redeem you.

06:45 Because the truth is Jesus Christ, if you have done anything like this, that means you’re living in a lie and you’re using the lie and cheating people. You might have think, oh, but this is a schema. That’s the rule
of the company and all.

07:00 That’s the company’s rule, brothers and sisters, this is God’s rule. Either you’re a Christian or not a Christian. You cannot have both ways.

07:07 You cannot have the world. That’s why God says do not love the world and the things of the world. If you have love of the world and things of the world, you do not have love of Father God in you.

07:19 So brothers and sisters, today important examine yourself. If you have done this, go and ask for forgiveness from each person. You have to ask for forgiveness.

07:29 Why? You have led them into a situation whereby they they have lost money and you have lost credibility and your reputation. Especially for pastors and servants and disciples who claim to be followers of Christ
everywhere. The devil will do what you know.

07:45 First of all, he’ll try to steal our reputation first. But once it steals our reputation, once it damages our reputation, then people won’t listen to us as pastors. So now, so there will be people also will be
lying.

07:59 Of course there will be people will be lying about pastors and servants and disciples. They may be lying. That is why God put a rule.

08:06 When somebody tells something against a disciple, you must have two or three witnesses. You must have two or three witnesses. Without the witnesses, you don’t believe also.

08:15 Why then you are wrong then if you believe without witnesses, Christian witnesses now who know who are telling the truth, witnesses who are able to tell the truth, witnesses not worldly got together. You know, there
are so many witnesses against Jesus Christ, all false, all liars. They got so many witnesses to get.

08:36 Even the high ranking people all got together to kill Christ off. But they didn’t know that’s the plan of God, to let his son be killed and rise again. But you and me are very simple.

08:51 Anybody comes and tells me something about people, I’ll straightaway call the others in the church. That means somebody says something about this, I’ll call one or two come tell me, what did you think? What did you
see? What you hear in front of everybody? Why boldly confront the truth? Confront what is the truth? Whatever it is, we’ll take it. So there must be evidence with truthful people giving.

09:16 If you simply listen to people about that pastor, this pastor, you are cursed by God. Understand that the curse comes because God said if you father God, the word of God clearly says if you make slanderous statement
or slanderous opinions you form about people without checking, without having evidence, without simply because you like to hear these gossips, it feels good. Oh, that pastor did this, or that servant did this, then
God says you are cursed.

09:45 A curse follows. So don’t do that for your own sake. But if the pastor has done some wrong or some accusation has come, the church elders must get together and call the pastor and ask.

09:58 And when he says this and that, and if not clear, call the others. Whoever is involved, whoever is making the accusation, ask them to come and tell in front of this pastor. So people must be able to tell in front of
each other.

10:10 And then you will be waiting in the spirit to see what is the truth coming out. You’ll know in the spirit and then two or three witnesses. You cannot just have one person accusing for a pastor and guy, okay, okay,
we listen.

10:24 That means everybody the devil will get because the whole world is under the sway of Satan. So those who are not in the truth, not following Christ, are not Christians. They will then get the whole world.

10:36 People who are getting people who are not Christians or half Christians are lying. People who think they’re Christians continue to sin, sin, sin, lie, lie, lie. And they think they are in the truth.

10:48 They will get those people. They will manipulate those people to come tell lies about these elders. That’s how you break churches.

10:54 Don’t listen to anybody who comes and say this pastor did that, or that servant did that, or this disciple did that, you immediately say, okay brother, okay sister, I hear you. Let’s go to the elders, let’s go to
the elders and state the thing. And then you better bring along, tell the brother and sister, you please bring two or three witnesses so that we can tell this, because that’s what the God law commands.

11:16 Oh, how can nobody know this? Only I know this, only this. Then how to follow. But then if you come and say only you, they did something only you, then you’re sitting as a counsel.

11:27 Because let us say somebody is accused of rape of a young girl and nobody saw, obviously then you have to sit in counsel and ask the Spirit of God, the spirit of truth to reveal. And you begin. And this is done
without personal agenda.

11:44 No personal agenda. It is purely for the truth. Brothers and sisters, in addition to it, today I’m going to deal with the armor of God.

11:52 A part of the armour of God. Ephesians 6, 10, 17. I’m reading from the easy to read version to end my letter.

12:01 I tell you this is Apostle Paul writing, be strong in the Lord and in his great power. Wear the full armour of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks.

12:15 Devil’s clever tricks. Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so they can fight against the devil’s clever tricks.

12:21 Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and powers of this world. Darkness, spiritual forces.

12:31 Forces of darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. That is why you need to get God’s full armor.

12:40 Then on the day of evil you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing 14. So stand strong with a belt of truth tied around your waist and on your chest.

12:55 Wear the protection of right living. Right living, true living, righteous living. Wear in your chest, put on your chest right living on your feet.

13:10 Wear the good news of peace to help you stand strong. Gospel of peace Want to have peace from within God. And of course we want to live in peace.

13:22 And also use a shield of faith which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the evil. The shield of faith. Accept God’s salvation as your helmet.

13:35 God’s salvation, accept it as your helmet. Helmet. In your thinking you must be thinking salvation, you must thinking eternity.

13:42 You are thinking Jesus Christ, you must be thinking your ambassador, you must be thinking the priest of God, Holy priest of Christ and take the sword of the Spirit. And the sword is the teaching of God. The word of
God, the Father of Spirit will take now these blood and verses I have written in the email.

13:59 The scriptures are quoted. Please get the email and read through. Or go to your old Bibles and read Ephesians 6, 10, 17.

14:06 But I’m reading here today. We are dealing with the truth. I am the way, the truth and life.

14:11 And no one goes to my Father, except through me. And then he says what? I send you the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth. And then he says this in the armor of God.

14:22 Wear the full armor of God. Yes, but what is the first thing he’s telling? He’s telling. So stand strong with a belt of truth tied around your waist.

14:33 Without truth, this entire thing, you cannot be a Christian. Without living a truthful life, you cannot be a Christian. That’s why the first thing in the armor of God is the truth.

14:44 Because you can’t come to the truth. If you are disciples of Christ. Indeed the Bible says that means you actually believe and do what he tells you to do.

14:53 Then you are disciples of Christ. Then you should know the truth. And the truth will set you free.

14:58 Now, brothers and sisters, I’ve seen in the 20 years pastors cheating. I’ve seen all these. But I’m telling you brothers, I pity the pastors because they do not know the truth or they have been caught by the world.

15:11 How do you get caught by the world? You keep on looking at the world. The world will get you. You keep on looking at sin.

15:16 Because the eyes, you know, as an English statement will go. And the eyes are the window to the soul. So you keep looking.

15:23 You’re looking, looking. Finally you’re tempted. What happened to King David? He was looking at Bathsheba taking a bath on her roof.

15:32 And Bathsheba’s husband had gone to war. He’s a general. He’s gone to the front line and top General.

15:39 And King David has come out and was seeing this woman bathing on the roof naked, some distance away. He kept staring, staring. Then he got desired and he fell into adultery and took a whole series of trouble for
him.

15:53 Brothers and sisters, today you keep looking at the world, looking at the world’s plan. Cannot now any one of you caught in this the time. Yes, it’s tough.

16:02 You fast and pray. Get up fast until your body no more strength. You want to go and ask forgiveness for all these people who have suffered losses because of you.

16:11 Because of you, what you did. Ask Jesus mercy. Lord, give me strength.

16:14 Make me go and do the ask of forgiveness, right thing. So that you are truly the child of the living God. So that you are not given the devil a foothold.

16:22 If you give these kind of things, give the devil a foothold, he will come to steal, kill and destroy. And your life will become a mess. This is a guarantee.

16:30 It’s the word of God. You allow the devil to come and you begin to live like this, telling this, telling that, because you think, I need it. I need money, so I got to do this, I got to do that.

16:39 But God’s word is this. You give the devil a foothold once he comes in and he steals everything, no more peace, no more joy. Relationship will break.

16:48 Families are breaking. Brothers and sisters, today, I’m begging you, please settle this into the power of Christ. In Jesus name I pray.

16:57 Amen.
