WEBVTT 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:02.520 [Music] 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:06.640 action thank 00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:09.640 you 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.759 okay there's something I've been 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.400 thinking about a lot um recently is we 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:18.359 have to check our hearts because in a 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.560 world that's ever increasingly 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:24.519 divisive um pmic do we find our heart 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.679 slowly slipping into being 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.640 judgmental uh you know divisive finding 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.560 it difficult to forgive finding it 00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:33.520 difficult to be compassionate judging 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.680 people and I think that's one of the 00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:37.960 greatest temptations that we Face to put 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:39.840 ourself in the position of Judge whereas 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.800 that's not a position that God gives us 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:45.960 as children of God whilst we're on this 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.920 Earth it's not our place to judge 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.039 because God is the judge and I think so 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.440 many of us maybe consciously 00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:55.840 subconsciously find ourselves slipping 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.000 into that judgmental position what what 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.680 can you say about this H what is 00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:06.360 Judgment well when we judge someone's 00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:08.840 motives or think that we know the reason 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:10.479 why someone does something and and say 00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:12.080 whether it's good or bad thank you for 00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:14.600 saying motive we need to understand when 00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:16.119 it comes to 00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:18.880 judgment Jesus standard of judgment is 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:21.079 different from man's 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.560 judgment that the Lord does not judge 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.960 what we say what we do on Face 00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:31.680 Value the lord always looks our heart to 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.759 judge the motivation why we are doing 00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:38.240 this and that's the purpose that brings 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:41.320 God's approval or the reprove of God in 00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:44.439 our actions and decisions every day as 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.240 you said 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:49.240 today God is all about relationship we 00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:52.000 should not forget that the heart of the 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.360 matter of this Bible is to restore the 00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:58.159 relationship between God and man and 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.200 that's a love relationship absolutely 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.520 not only between God and man between man 00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:04.280 to other fellow human beings I say 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.759 mankind today relationships are under 00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:09.119 repair everywhere not only towards God 00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:11.039 but towards our neighbor towards our 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.800 brother towards our sisters towards our 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.160 friends and towards even those who are 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:16.760 not our friends why we are saying this 00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:19.760 Jesus said you should love the Lord your 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.680 God with all your heart with all your 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.680 mind with all your strength and love 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.760 your neighbor as yourself good as 00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:29.400 yourself that love starts first with the 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.400 love of God 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.080 and that's the love of God in us as the 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.120 Bible says is poured by the holy spirit 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.080 in our heart Romans 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.680 5:5 that overflows if I have a cup of 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.560 water you cannot quench my thirst with a 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.680 cup of water share with me that's why 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.360 Jesus said if you know who is speaking 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.760 to you and what is the gift of God in 00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:55.000 John chapter 4 you would have ask me and 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.440 I will give you living water Living 00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:59.920 Waters and the water I give you will 00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:02.360 well up within you will well up overflow 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.480 to everlasting life oh my God God has 00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:07.680 set a table before us and he want us to 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.560 be blessed abundantly so we can have 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.040 something to share with 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:16.280 others means our request when we come 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.799 before God should not be self-centered 00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:21.080 if we ask for God's sake the blessing 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.040 will 00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:24.599 overflow if you ask for God's sake God 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.560 know you not asking just for you but for 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.400 your neighbor that means one of the 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.840 major obstacles is actually selfishness 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.000 absolutely and that makes us also want 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.280 to judge people that is the problem we 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.080 have that's why James say when he come 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.319 in God's presence you ask and you don't 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.480 receive because we ask wrong wrongly why 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:47.560 we ask for selfish classic and matal 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.319 reason the motivation God approves when 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.319 the reason behind the action is for 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.079 God's sake and it's only s God that can 00:03:55.079 --> 00:03:57.480 see that motive we can't see thank you 00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:00.720 people's motives God can only see it and 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:02.159 that's what is important because we not 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.159 asking man we asking God you want God to 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.120 hear you you want God to answer our 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.360 prayers so remember when we come to him 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.879 with our lips he listens to our heart 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.680 then we go to that Mathew chapter 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.519 15:8 that will lay down the principle of 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.160 this message Matthew chapter 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.840 15:8 let's listen to what Jesus Christ 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:27.720 the righteous judge said but don't 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.520 forget the Bible called calls Jesus the 00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:32.199 judge of the living and of the Dead 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.280 let's listen to Judgment of Christ these 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:36.320 people draw near to me with their mouth 00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:38.199 and honor me with their lips but their 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.759 heart is far from me good and in vain 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.039 they worship me teaching as doctrines 00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:46.120 the Commandments of men in vain we pray 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.280 in vain we ask when we come with our 00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:51.280 mouth alone but our hearts far from God 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:53.919 how sad that is that people think 00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:55.720 they're worshiping but actually it's in 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.280 vain yes because our heart is far from 00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:03.600 God means when we come to God we should 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.960 bring our heart first before our mouth 00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:08.160 we should not be too quick to speak when 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.600 you bring your heart when you engage 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.560 your heart before God the scripture say 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.400 we don't know what to ask we don't know 00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:16.320 what to pray for Romans 8 2627 that's 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:18.120 why the Holy Spirit intercedes 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.800 absolutely in words we cannot yes go 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.680 ahead those you cannot we cannot 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.880 comprehend thank you when the Holy 00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:28.360 Spirit Come he will take you to God's 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.400 presence first and then will help you 00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:32.440 how to pray and what to pray for we 00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:36.080 often hear that Prayer Changes Things 00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:38.319 and that's not entirely true yes prayer 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.039 changes us prayer changes us and Faith 00:05:42.039 --> 00:05:44.479 changes things Faith causing things to 00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:47.160 happen let's break that run down prayer 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.639 changes me because it takes our Focus 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.400 off ourself we all enter God's presence 00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:52.800 because we have trouble because nobody 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.400 comes to Jesus in Comfort am I right 00:05:55.400 --> 00:05:57.440 very often we come because of our burden 00:05:57.440 --> 00:05:59.199 but the Bible say don't don't be too 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.400 quick 00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:03.440 to ask for solution try to find out what 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:06.000 God is saying in the matter that's why 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.199 we bring all burdens before Jesus to God 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.840 and asking to know God's opinion on the 00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:14.160 matter it is God's opinion on the matter 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.919 that will reveal his will on the matter 00:06:16.919 --> 00:06:18.800 Jesus walking towards the cross was not 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.120 for 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.680 himself it was for you and I for 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.840 humankind because he said nobody takes 00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:28.919 my life I lay down myself I have the 00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:30.680 power to give my life and to take it 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.039 back that's the command of my father so 00:06:34.039 --> 00:06:36.800 it is the motivation that is important 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.960 when Peter heard what Jesus said I'm 00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:41.759 going to Jerusalem they will arrest me 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.840 they will spit on me and they will kill 00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:47.319 me on the third day I will rise Peter 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.759 say what God forbid never happened to 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.880 you why 00:06:51.880 --> 00:06:54.280 selfishness Peter was focusing on 00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:56.960 himself on the natural side with emotion 00:06:56.960 --> 00:06:59.960 with love for Jesus but Jesus was 00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:01.919 thinking the thoughts of God not the 00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:04.160 thoughts of man so when we judge 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.599 situations and others from a human point 00:07:06.599 --> 00:07:11.199 of view it's actually a selfish attitude 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.199 is that right absolutely because very 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.319 often we judge people because we have a 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.720 mindset a negative mindset prejudgment 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.960 against others and that is not good 00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:24.720 remember in John chapter 8 verse 11 when 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.680 they brought the adulterous woman before 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.520 Jesus the Pharisees the Sadducees the 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:31.319 the teachers of the law who brought that 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.440 woman to Jesus for judgment that's why 00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:34.879 they brought her for judgment because 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.080 the law of Moses said anybody who commit 00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:39.479 a sin must be ston to death so the 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:41.479 decision was made 00:07:41.479 --> 00:07:44.479 already they had a prejudgment on woman 00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:46.680 already they judg her in their hearts 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.039 already they just want confirmation and 00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:50.319 when they brought it to Jesus said 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.039 Master the law of Moses said if you 00:07:53.039 --> 00:07:56.800 catch any person on the act of doing 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.960 adultery that such person should be 00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:00.560 stoned to that's what the law of Moses 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.280 say yeah they were trying to trick him 00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:03.879 you what do you 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.680 say so when we take the situation on 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.240 literal senses on the letter you're 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.720 going to Stone the woman that's what the 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.400 letter says that's why even a judg when 00:08:13.400 --> 00:08:16.039 you go to any court today no judge will 00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:17.800 go by the face value they do 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.919 investigation to find out what was the 00:08:20.919 --> 00:08:22.840 motivation of the person you will never 00:08:22.840 --> 00:08:24.440 condemn any person if you realize the 00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:26.039 person has psychatric 00:08:26.039 --> 00:08:29.000 problem the first is the person has his 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.960 own mind 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:32.719 has he done this act willfully 00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:35.279 consciously with all his mind that's 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.680 when guilt can come because if the 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:39.959 person is out of his mind because he has 00:08:39.959 --> 00:08:42.479 psychc problem you canot say he Express 00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:44.560 his will he doesn't know what he's doing 00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:46.600 so rather than judge him take him to 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:47.760 prison they will take him to hospital 00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:49.279 for treatment and that was the right 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.600 judgment right but in the case we're 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.760 talking about when they brought the 00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:57.519 woman to Jesus Jesus looked at him said 00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.000 if any of you has not never committed 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.399 sin be the first to throw the 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.959 stor I just love that word that Jesus 00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:09.720 spoke because it just shows that Jesus 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.640 is the father of every heart every heart 00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:17.120 from now till the end of the ages and 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.480 everyone has to answer to him whether we 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:20.800 understand it or not or we realize it or 00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:23.839 not we do have to answer to him and that 00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:26.279 is why he he knew what had happened in 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.160 each person's heart because he knew the 00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:31.000 motive and that's he only he was in the 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.880 position to say that judgment rightful 00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:38.839 judgment is to get into the heart of the 00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:41.000 matter and you can't do that without the 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.079 Holy Spirit no you because the holy 00:09:43.079 --> 00:09:44.640 spirit always gets into the heart of the 00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:47.560 matter he never judges situation by Fai 00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:50.519 Val or by hear say or by what situation 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.079 looks like he looks beyond to the heart 00:09:53.079 --> 00:09:55.600 to find up the motivation of the person 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.600 behind that action we should not be 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.000 quick to judge not be too quick to judge 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.360 judge if the rightful judge who sees a 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.600 heart does not rush into judgment why 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.720 should we rush into judgment that's why 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.519 many relationships have been 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.120 so 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.720 strained because we we we judge people 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.519 on on today okay and we don't know what 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.480 tomorrow brings husband and wife today 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.640 we have many if I ask if we are honest 00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:27.040 we have so many marriages relationship 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:28.880 marri to relationship that are strain 00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:31.880 today because of this 00:10:31.880 --> 00:10:35.440 mindset marriage is a Unity of heart and 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.079 purpose and mind the heart agrees right 00:10:39.079 --> 00:10:41.079 if our heart agrees we should not have 00:10:41.079 --> 00:10:43.800 any division in our hearts and that's 00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:45.320 why God said in the Book of Malachi 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.399 chapter 2 I am the witness of your 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.360 wedding that's what God said be careful 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.279 that in your heart you will not betray 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.880 your wife or your husband the heart 00:10:54.880 --> 00:10:56.920 that's why Jesus say if a man looks at a 00:10:56.920 --> 00:10:59.079 woman it his heart without saying any 00:10:59.079 --> 00:10:59.760 words 00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:01.720 but desire to have relation with a woman 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.720 he has committed adultery in his 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.680 heart Jesus always gets into the heart 00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:09.760 of the matter the heart and he said if 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:11.800 anyone of you has not committed any sin 00:11:11.800 --> 00:11:14.079 be the first to throw he just 00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:15.760 demonstrated with just that sentence 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:17.079 that he's the father of every heart 00:11:17.079 --> 00:11:20.040 absolutely by saying this the motivation 00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:22.279 what brought that woman to that act 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.240 however sinful it is the same Temptation 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.399 everybody's faced today the hierarchy of 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.480 sin can only be determined by Jesus sin 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.440 sin lying is sin killing is sin the sin 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.560 of Adam just disobeying to 00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:40.240 Adam the SE of Adam that disob eating a 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.360 food and say how can this bring death to 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.720 him not only to him but to the whole 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.920 world what matters is not the action but 00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:50.240 the motivation behind the action we have 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.160 time to talk about it in in depth but if 00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:56.200 you see yeah because he willfully 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.120 disobeyed God and he had chance to 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.560 repent and he didn't good if I see you 00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:04.279 doing something which does not seem 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.600 right to me which does not 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.399 seem instead of me praying over it or 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.639 asking you I come to a conclusion 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.279 because I expect you to do right thing 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.000 so I said ah what she did it seems 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.320 strength to me instead of inquiring from 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:24.000 God or finding out you come to Quick 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.160 mindset and judgment that's why mindset 00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:28.720 is a problem negative mindset negative 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.000 mindset bad feeling towards others 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.399 prejudgment which is fed by pure 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.720 ignorance can come to a judgment wrong 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.600 judgment that's why I was thinking at 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.839 the I said at the beginning that we as 00:12:39.839 --> 00:12:41.560 Believers you know we we are supposed to 00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:43.240 be with a difference we're in this world 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:49.040 but not part of it so we should refrain 00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:52.279 from allowing our hearts to be drawn to 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.000 division to 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.600 judgment um to anger to bitterness when 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.600 we see or hear things that's happening 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.760 around us and rather we should we should 00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:05.480 do what is good to change the bad we see 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.040 be a force for love judgment is is 00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:10.440 double edged sword you can judge what is 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.440 not 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.440 right but you must have a sense of 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.040 judgment to do what is right and that is 00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:18.079 what I want to say if I have judgment is 00:13:18.079 --> 00:13:20.480 not just to say this is bad this is bad 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.079 but the rightful judgment say this is 00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:23.560 good this is what you should 00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:28.199 do yes it's a double side what I mean 00:13:28.199 --> 00:13:30.240 okay when I enter into relationship with 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.040 the 00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:33.360 person what is the motivation to say 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.279 this is the person this is this before 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.800 you go the Bible says inquire from God 00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:40.440 when you inquire from God you have the 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.800 rightful Judgment of anything you do you 00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:44.760 will know the right place to go the 00:13:44.760 --> 00:13:46.440 right type of people to meet the right 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.160 type of job to have that's rightful 00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:49.560 judgment we need to have the positive 00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:53.240 side of it if we have rightful judgment 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.000 and that cannot happen without inquiring 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.800 from the Holy Spirit then we should 00:13:57.800 --> 00:13:59.720 guard against judging people 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.519 because no one is righteous not even one 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:04.199 without Holy Ghost we cannot get into 00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:07.160 the heart of the matter if you ask 00:14:07.160 --> 00:14:09.199 anyone who is honest and sincere what 00:14:09.199 --> 00:14:11.600 type of person I want to marry I want to 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.959 live in they will mention criteria that 00:14:14.959 --> 00:14:18.959 are all based on the 00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:21.519 outside beautiful beautiful eyes 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.519 beautiful nose beautiful body tall 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.759 whatever everybody has his own how how 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.600 do you call it 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.639 preferences but 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.639 the most important is the inside who we 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.399 talk about the heart a man or woman that 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.160 fears God that's the 00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:39.480 heart our heart does things before our 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.759 mouth that's the 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.800 motivation that's why the Bible say when 00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:45.800 you think 00:14:45.800 --> 00:14:47.759 negatively you are bound to speak 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.920 negatively and act 00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:52.120 negatively that's why the Lord warns 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.680 everybody in that Matthew chter 00:14:54.680 --> 00:14:57.959 15:8 that what defiles us is what comes 00:14:57.959 --> 00:15:01.839 from our mouth all our motivation anger 00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:04.839 resentment divorce separation attack 00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:07.519 always come from the heart of a 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.079 person that's why remember what Peter 00:15:10.079 --> 00:15:12.680 said to ananas in act chapter 00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:15.079 5 that's that's a clear example of 00:15:15.079 --> 00:15:18.440 judgment let's take the example at early 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.600 church in the 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.480 beginning the disciples were selling all 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:23.199 their 00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:26.120 properties and bring it in common in the 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.639 treasury so anybody who's in need 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.959 receive help right yeah we have Anan and 00:15:31.959 --> 00:15:35.160 sa Safa they came to the they sell their 00:15:35.160 --> 00:15:37.160 property it was their own property they 00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:38.399 have the right to do whatever they want 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.720 to do it they sell their property let's 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.480 say the house is 1 million they say 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.720 let's tell them the house is half 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.600 500,000 he came they say okay our house 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.360 was sold 500,000 this 500,000 and the 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.560 less they kept it that's what they did 00:15:56.560 --> 00:15:59.079 it was a property 00:15:59.079 --> 00:16:01.839 could have said okay I give him 500 if 00:16:01.839 --> 00:16:03.360 they said to Peter the house is 1 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.639 million I get 500 and I give nothing 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.839 would have happen I really believe 00:16:07.839 --> 00:16:09.279 because you're free it's your free will 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.959 offering from your heart but they were 00:16:10.959 --> 00:16:13.560 trying to but they came to say they're 00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:16.160 entirely from Jesus the house is sold at 00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:17.680 this 00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:21.279 price Peter was a man led by the Holy 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:22.920 Ghost with rightful 00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:25.000 judgment inquire from the Holy Spirit 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.199 the Holy Spirit revealed to him the 00:16:26.199 --> 00:16:27.759 truth that the P of house is not what 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.000 they said this the real 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.319 price when Peter heard this what did he 00:16:33.319 --> 00:16:35.639 say he said you have sinned against the 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.079 Holy Spirit why you allow Satan to fill 00:16:38.079 --> 00:16:40.560 your heart so that you can lie to the 00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:44.079 Holy Spirit you have not lied to man but 00:16:44.079 --> 00:16:46.959 to God that was a judgment and when we 00:16:46.959 --> 00:16:48.399 read the Bible we got scared by the 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.120 Judgment they came and immediately what 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.519 happened to they fell dead yeah anytime 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.240 that P I got extremely scar say thank 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.560 God we don't have this but there was a 00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:00.920 sense of Judge rightful judgment which 00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:03.160 was extremely clear on motivational 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:05.439 actions and also knowing that the holy 00:17:05.439 --> 00:17:07.240 spirit is there in every single decision 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.039 that you make every single thought in 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.720 your heart the holy spirit is witnessed 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.000 to that thank you for saying this now if 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.000 you have awareness if I have awareness 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.240 the Holy Ghost is inside of 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.439 me I should be extremely careful of my 00:17:22.439 --> 00:17:25.319 thoughts first before I talk about my 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.000 words because everything starts in the 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.200 thoughts m 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.400 that's why as a Christian a Believer 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.039 should be careful of what he looks at 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.799 what he sees what he touches that can 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.240 influence his 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.640 thoughts bad feelings negative thoughts 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.760 start from here you don't need to 00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:46.120 express it but God hears it and it 00:17:46.120 --> 00:17:48.120 matters to the Holy Spirit that's why 00:17:48.120 --> 00:17:50.120 when we have the sensitivity of God's 00:17:50.120 --> 00:17:51.480 presence in our heart through the Holy 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.320 Ghost anytime our mind begin to drift 00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:56.200 towards something that's not 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.200 right your conscious will dud 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.120 immediately because of who because the 00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:02.000 Holy Ghost will prompt your heart before 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.960 you step into action that's why we need 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.159 to be always be sensitive to the voice 00:18:06.159 --> 00:18:07.840 of our conscience because that's how the 00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:09.840 Holy Spirit speaks to us absolutely 00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:12.440 that's why Jam say nobody can tempt God 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.000 canot be tempted but sin is when we are 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.919 attracted by our own Desire by our own 00:18:17.919 --> 00:18:20.840 will that we then we are enticed to fall 00:18:20.840 --> 00:18:23.080 into the temptation of prejudgment Jud 00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.480 judging others the question is the 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.280 person you are judging today no matter 00:18:28.280 --> 00:18:31.799 how bad the person may seem Look to You 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:33.320 on human 00:18:33.320 --> 00:18:37.400 judgment ask yourself what does Jesus 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.080 think about that person because we we 00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:41.880 are not God we have to keep reminding 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.640 ourselves that God's standard of 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.200 judgment is different from our own God 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.120 tests our heart to reward us because 00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:51.960 he's his focus is the motive behind what 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.679 we do exact Soul we know Soul we know 00:18:56.679 --> 00:19:01.000 Soul who was soul well Saul was the one 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.280 who was persecuting all the Christians 00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:06.320 yes terribly in a very harsh weight 00:19:06.320 --> 00:19:08.640 forces them to 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.400 blashe he was his chosen vessel yes no 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:13.080 when he was going to persecute the 00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:16.000 people in Damascus having letters of 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.760 recommendation from the teachers of the 00:19:17.760 --> 00:19:20.559 law Steven he stood there as Steven was 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.080 killed and stoned to death yes that was 00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:26.080 his Zeal but he had a Zeal for the law 00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:29.039 of Moses but Zeal marked with with 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.200 ignorance of spiritual 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:34.840 things he judges the situation on the 00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:37.600 letter we judge but the word of God we 00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:39.120 approach it in the letter we have the 00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:41.360 wrong judgment there's a letter of the 00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:44.480 word there a spirit of the of the word 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.120 wait say that again there's the letter 00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:48.360 of the word and we have the spirit of 00:19:48.360 --> 00:19:50.600 the word the Divine meaning of the word 00:19:50.600 --> 00:19:52.360 so you can be very 00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:55.600 committed zealous for towards the letter 00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:57.240 of the word and yet completely missing 00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.440 the point if it's not spirit is not in 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.720 truth and so it's all nothing that's 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.760 what Jesus said to them if you know that 00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:04.880 I Del like Mercy you will never condemn 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.679 innocent people that's what Jesus said 00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:11.640 Jesus met ananas one of the disciples 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.320 who knew who Soul was in the dream and 00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:17.440 when Jesus mentioned the name of Saul he 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.799 say hey Lord this man is a wolf he's a 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.080 terrible person no I mean just think 00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:25.640 about it in today's society if someone 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.159 who's 00:20:27.159 --> 00:20:29.559 publicly persecuted in people that 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.720 believe in Jesus and then suddenly God 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.120 reveals to you that oh this is actually 00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:36.919 the one I want to use as my chosen 00:20:36.919 --> 00:20:39.720 vessel wow and that's what happened and 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:44.080 I mean yeah motivation behind the action 00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:47.320 of Soul was pure ignorance he had a Zeal 00:20:47.320 --> 00:20:49.799 without knowledge and he even said it in 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.200 that book of Timothy chapter 1 but now 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.400 what was the answer of Jesus to him he's 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.640 My Chosen vessel God does not consider 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.600 our now our past to determine our future 00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:04.559 we need to understand that because Jesus 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.000 is a tomorrow thinker he has Vision 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.320 thank you Jesus is looking at your your 00:21:09.320 --> 00:21:11.600 tomorrow thank you even even your 10 00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:13.799 years from now thank you your 20 years 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.559 from now this is what matters to Jesus 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.240 but we're so concentrated on now now now 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.120 and even not even now yesterday the pain 00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:25.039 of the past the the the Betrayal of the 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.520 past the disappointment of the past the 00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:29.480 scars of the past we're so full of all 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.200 these scars that we find it difficult to 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.360 even live today let alone trust our 00:21:35.360 --> 00:21:38.960 tomorrow in the hands of Jesus and yet 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.400 Jesus knows what we can become tomorrow 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:43.720 if we fully submit to him and that's 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:45.840 what he's looking at I always remember 00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:48.440 you know Prophet T josua was such a man 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.480 of vision you know he looked at us a 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:52.640 situation where when we came so many 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.440 years ago there was no way all of this 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.320 was in our mind no we just wanted to to 00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:02.279 not miss salvation yet God knew God knew 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.880 because God knew the plan he he had for 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.960 every single person Jesus never never 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.919 never considers your past to determine 00:22:11.919 --> 00:22:13.559 your 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:17.480 future Jesus came to change our lives to 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.960 change our Focus we humans we keep 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.120 record of the offenses of the 00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:26.039 past we keep a record of every wrong 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.960 done to us that's why we find it so so 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:30.120 difficult to 00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:33.480 forgive you have done it again 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.400 again you will keep record of the past 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.159 but the Bible say loves keeps no record 00:22:39.159 --> 00:22:40.039 of 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:43.520 wrong when Jesus looked at you and I as 00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:47.000 it for Samar woman his purpose is to 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.520 give you a new focus of 00:22:49.520 --> 00:22:52.760 future Satan the devil we all know 00:22:52.760 --> 00:22:55.720 always speaks about our past our 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.919 unworthy 00:22:56.919 --> 00:23:00.799 past no one was born righteous not no no 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.080 one but Jesus has come to remove that 00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:06.240 past and give you a new future and if 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.960 can do it for you he can do it for 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:09.159 someone else as well that you're 00:23:09.159 --> 00:23:11.000 currently looking at with the eyes of 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.799 judgment if Jesus can remove our past 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.240 and point us to the Future then he can 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.640 do it for everyone that is why we 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:21.400 shouldn't judge anyone on account of 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:24.640 today because tomorrow is a mystery so 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.400 when the Pharisees brought that lady 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.360 they were considering her 00:23:29.360 --> 00:23:31.960 but you say rightfully that tomorrow is 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:33.960 a mystery that only God knows when Jesus 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.279 is correcting you and me all of us it's 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.760 because of the 00:23:38.760 --> 00:23:41.720 future when God say don't do 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.679 this you may not do it today but you may 00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:48.400 do it tomorrow correction judgment 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.799 everything God has spoken through the 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.000 mouth of the Prophet as a warning is for 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.159 the future when God said to the Prophet 00:23:54.159 --> 00:23:57.080 Jeremiah tell them that if they continue 00:23:57.080 --> 00:23:59.760 to do this I will send the enemy 00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:01.799 nebukadnezar will come he will burn the 00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:04.120 city he will kill everybody but God was 00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:06.880 saying this to trigger a sense of 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.799 repentance say hey God sorry we come 00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:11.480 back we stop doing evil we come back to 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.039 you that's true because it's how we 00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.760 respond to that correction or that 00:24:15.760 --> 00:24:17.720 judgment that is actually what Jesus is 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.000 looking at as well that will determine 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.799 your 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.640 future your response to correction this 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.640 ter is your future and when we talk 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:26.240 about correction here we mean correction 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:27.679 in the power of the Holy Spirit 00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:28.880 absolutely you 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.240 when you read your Bible and something 00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.120 comes to your heart that can be God 00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:35.919 correcting you you know because the word 00:24:35.919 --> 00:24:39.480 of God has power power for converting 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.880 power purifying power it's a 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.720 double-edged sword so good you mentioned 00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:45.279 correction how do you correction 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.279 correction is not judgment there's a 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.200 difference between correction and 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:50.760 judgment 00:24:50.760 --> 00:24:53.840 judgment is a mindset a preset judgment 00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:55.279 in your mind already you have decided to 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.480 judge the person already but correction 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.320 is to help someone is to help the person 00:25:00.320 --> 00:25:03.480 to change how do you correct the person 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.039 don't say hey this is bad you are this 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:07.520 you are this that's condemnation do what 00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:09.840 is good in the sight of the person to 00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:11.679 change the bad you 00:25:11.679 --> 00:25:13.799 see that's why the Bible tells us in 00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.640 Galatians six that we should be gentle 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.600 yes in our correction that is be a 00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:21.120 little by example example mean let your 00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:24.279 character show let the person see in the 00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.679 way you speak act a reason to come to 00:25:26.679 --> 00:25:28.880 you say I'm sorry 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:31.440 do what is good in the sight of God to 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:34.600 change the bad you see if the person is 00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:37.440 an angry person be gentle let him see 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.159 your gentleness so you can say I'm sorry 00:25:40.159 --> 00:25:42.600 if the person is pride we don't respond 00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:45.399 by Pride let him see humility let your 00:25:45.399 --> 00:25:48.799 humility convince him to say ha I'm 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.799 sorry to wrong canot make what a right 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.200 so what do you do the weapons of 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.440 righteousness the Bible says when we see 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.440 a situation don't be too quick to judge 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.960 you should find out from God's 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.520 perspective what is the mind of God 00:26:03.520 --> 00:26:05.720 about the situation we judge today we 00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:07.520 arrogate the position of God to judge 00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:10.279 people correction is our duty but 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.320 judgment is God's Duty correction in 00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:14.399 love in love of course and with the 00:26:14.399 --> 00:26:16.240 right motivation correction not to see 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.559 someone fall down but to help someone in 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.840 fact I really really appreciate all 00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:24.080 those throughout my journey who took 00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:27.840 time to correct me for God's sake I 00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:30.240 really see the the product of that the 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:31.960 the consequence of that the result of 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.279 that and that's why the Bible says in 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.440 the Book of Proverbs you know if you're 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.480 wise you should not despise correction 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:40.200 you should appreciate correction in the 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:41.880 power of the Holy Spirit what do you say 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:43.799 the power of the Holy Spirit mean 00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:46.200 judgment lead to punishment right but 00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:48.240 correction leads to Amendment repentance 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:49.399 and 00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:51.360 Reconciliation there are two ways of 00:26:51.360 --> 00:26:55.000 approaching this Holy Bible Jesus his 00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.240 attitude was constant 00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:59.520 correction showing God's standard of 00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:01.880 doing things when the Pharisees was 00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:06.320 opposing him asking him question Jesus 00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:09.080 responded with the wisdom of God he 00:27:09.080 --> 00:27:11.559 spoke what is right in the sight of God 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.039 when you think right speak right and act 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:15.840 right in the sight of God you are 00:27:15.840 --> 00:27:17.840 correcting everybody people are reading 00:27:17.840 --> 00:27:21.919 you we talk about Prophet iosha well 00:27:21.919 --> 00:27:24.840 right his lifestyle was a constant 00:27:24.840 --> 00:27:26.640 correction to everybody 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:28.720 El why correction 00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:31.440 you will see the way he attended to the 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:35.000 simple people to the poor to even those 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.399 offended him his reaction towards them 00:27:37.399 --> 00:27:39.720 you will never see him fighting people 00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.360 answering back never his attitude 00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:45.200 humility doing what is right in the 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.840 sight of God to change the Bible to see 00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:50.320 so now the weapons of righteousness are 00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:51.679 the fruit of the 00:27:51.679 --> 00:27:54.399 spirit so exercise the fruit of the 00:27:54.399 --> 00:27:56.440 spirit in the face of the fruit of the
