I'm not referring to those who 79 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,440 left Maranatha Family Church. I am referring to those who left 80 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,920 the Faith, those who who have abandoned the faith. 81 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,520 Is this true in the New Testament? 82 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,400 If you read the the scripture, first Timothy 41 says the Spirit 83 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,360 clearly says meaning say the Holy Spirit clearly says that in 84 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,480 the last days or in the later times some will abandoned the 85 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,120 faith. Meaning say these people are 86 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,560 already in faith and they just left. 87 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,440 OK, they abandoned the faith. Alright then how can that be 88 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,760 true? I isn't it? 89 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,080 Isn't it? God is faithful and he who began 90 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,200 a good work in US will be will be faithful to bring it to 91 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,600 completion. Isn't that the word of the Lord? 92 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,840 Yes, but remember my pastor told me this. 93 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:23,800 Listen, he said when you got born again, you did not lose 94 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:28,680 your free will. You still have your free will. 95 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,440 God's part, God's role is to keep you. 96 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,800 He is faithful, Amen.

I'm sorry, it is at work. 100 00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:05,760 So my point here, some of them they married people with with a 101 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,040 demonic religion, teachings of demons. 102 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120 That's why you read first Timothy 41. 103 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,840 It's there. The spirit clearly says that in 104 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,520 the light later time some will abandoned the faith and it says 105 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,720 follow deceiving spirits, the things taught by demons. 106 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,440 So if they're teaching their belief is against the Bible, 107 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:37,760 it's demonic. Amen, Amen #4 pray for the 108 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,600 salvation of the lost and for the radical transformation. 109 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360 I added I added that radical transformation. 110 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600 I just don't want to see people.

BA what is the point of you 154 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,760 know, receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior and then after a 155 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,520 while you live like demons. You know, you don't show change 156 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,440 instead you become worse. That's I mean you say your your 157 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,720 encounter or your your you you how what they call this aim of 158 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,200 pagdawat K Jesus a story in Savior is not true because if 159 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,680 the Holy Spirit is in you, you will be changed. 160 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:09,760 Amen #5 Last but not the least. Now you can add whatever prayer 161 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,920 item you want, but for me, this is one of my focus. 162 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:18,240 Pray to God to send more laborers in the harvest field 163 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400 resulting to missions because this is the point. 164 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,200 What is the point if we are in Matthew 24 right now, at this 165 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,560 present time, meaning birth pains, the Lord Jesus Christ 166 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,280 said, and the gospel of this Kingdom shall be preached into 167 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,400 all the nations as a testimony. OK, and then what? 168 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,840 The end will come. Meaning you say this is one of 169 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,240 the ministry that we need to focus on, Amen. 170 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,640 In the last days we are called and the Bible says until a 171 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,120 number of Gentiles have come in, do you understand? 172 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,480 Mean you say we are to occupy the nations, we are to reach the 173 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,920 lost, Amen. Because once all the Gentiles, 174 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,240 the number of Gentiles have come in, and then salvation will 175 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:13,480 return to Israel and Israel will be saved, and then the end will 176 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,640 come. That's what the Bible says, 177 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520 Amen. So this is our work right now. 178 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,600 We need more laborers. That's why I want a radical 179 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,120 transformation. That is my prayer so that we 180 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,520 can, you know, we will see more laborers serving the Lord in the 181 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,920 harvest field. Hallelujah. 182 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,720 Are you there? So this leads me to the point 183 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,240 because one, I've been preaching through our to our churches 184 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:51,760 about the end times and listen up at the very end on judgment 185 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,600 day, Jesus used a metaphor, A metaphor to show that there are 186 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:10,560 only two kinds of people that will be judged, the sheep and 187 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,560 the goats. The prayer item that I just gave 188 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,360 you is praying for the sheep and the goats. 189 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,080 I'm thinking about, you know, transforming everyone to become 190 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,280 ships, not the goat. That's why I want radical 191 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,120 transformation. Hello. 192 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,920 Not everyone who comes to church, not everyone who sings 193 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Hallelujah. Glory to God, I love you, Lord. 194 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,480 We'll enter in. Remember Jesus said, I mean 195 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,600 these people who will be judged, they said, Lord, did we not cast 196 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,880 out demons in your name? Did we not prophecy in your 197 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,160 name? So they know the Lord, they know 198 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,320 the word of God. They use the name of Jesus as 199 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,560 the authority. And they said, Lord, did we not, 200 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,040 we, did we not cast out devils in your name? 201 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,000 And Jesus will tell them, depart from me. 202 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:15,160 I never knew you, you who practice wickedness and listen. 203 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:23,840 That is why we have to know, you know, if I have to, to join a 204 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,400 singing contest, which I will not because I, I don't think I 205 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:33,720 will win, but if I will join a singing contest, I'd like to 206 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:41,440 know the criteria, correct, true or false, because that is going 207 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:47,720 to be the basis for the judge. So before I, I, during my school 208 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:53,120 days, elementary and high school, I, I, I joined the 209 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,120 guitar classical guitar contest, OK. 210 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,040 And then of course, I, I know the criteria because there is a 211 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,600 proper way to handle the guitar, OK, The position, the posture, 212 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,720 the everything, because that is part of the criteria. 213 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:20,960 Now before on judgment day, there is a criteria with this 214 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,440 metaphor, like criteria is either you're a sheep or a goat. 215 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:35,280 They sound the same, they forage, they eat the same leaves 216 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:42,360 and plants, correct vegetation. There are, they are herbivore, 217 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:50,760 but their behaviour, they differ, they show different 218 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,320 behaviours. So let me take you to Matthew 219 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,840 2531 to 46 for a moment. The sheep and the goats. 220 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,520 Now many of you are already familiar with this teaching. 221 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,080 Are you ready? When the Son of Man comes in his 222 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,080 glory, and all the angels with him, He will sit on his glorious 223 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,600 throne. All the nations will be gathered 224 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:27,800 before him, and He will separate the people one from another as a 225 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,880 shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 226 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,040 Imagine this ending on the He will put verse 33. 227 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,640 He will put the ship on his right and the goats on his left. 228 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,120 OK. There is no in between guys. 229 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,960 There is no in between. Either you are on the right or 230 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,160 on the left. No in betweens verse 34. 231 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,920 Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are 232 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,160 blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the Kingdom 233 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000 prepared for you since the creation of the world. 234 00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:13,119 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. 235 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,720 I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. 236 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,040 I was a stranger and you invited me in. 237 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,680 I needed clothes and you clothed me. 238 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,200 I was sick and you look after me. 239 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:32,560 I was in prison and you came to visit me. 240 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:43,960 What do you see? Is that you do you have the kind 241 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:51,240 this kind of heart? Verse 37 then the righteous or 242 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,320 the the ships the ship will answer him. 243 00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:03,200 Lord, when did we see you hungry and fed you or thirsty and give 244 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,760 you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger 245 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,480 and invited you in or needing clothes and clothe you? 246 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,560 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? 247 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:26,440 The king will reply in verse 14. Truly I tell you, whatever you 248 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,160 did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of 249 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:44,200 mine, you did it for me. So it's not really about about 250 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:50,360 us literally doing something for the Lord, but it's about us 251 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,760 doing something to others for the glory of the Lord. 252 00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:57,520 Amen. What do you see? 253 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,680 I'll give you what I see. One word, 1 adjective that I can 254 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,960 give about this kind of personality or characteristics. 255 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,720 Are you ready? Selfless. 256 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,120 Selfless person. He's not thinking about more of 257 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,760 Maine. What about me? 258 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,000 What's mine? What will I get? 259 00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:29,520 It's not something like that. What will I get? 260 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:35,480 What can I give? Selflessness. 261 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:43,120 Amen. Then verse 41 it says, Then he 262 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:47,840 will say to those on his left, depart from me you who are 263 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,080 cursed into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his 264 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,560 angels. For I was hungry, and you gave 265 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,640 me nothing to eat. I was thirsty. 266 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,160 You gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger. 267 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,960 You did not invite me in. I needed clothes and you did not 268 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,360 clothe me. I was sick and in prison and you 269 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,800 did not look after me. Whoa. 270 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,680 And then they will also answer the goats, Answered the Lord. 271 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,840 They said, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a 272 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,880 stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and did not 273 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,240 help you? Verse 45 The Lord answered, he 274 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,920 will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did not, you 275 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:50,280 did not do for one of the least of this brethren of mine. 276 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:58,840 You did not do for me. So let's be careful how we treat 277 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:04,440 people. Check your motives, check your 278 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,880 heart. Are you doing good things for 279 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,760 yourself? Because some people, oh, I have 280 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,480 helped the poor, I have given to the poor. 281 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,400 I have, you know, etcetera, etcetera. 282 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,640 But they did it for popularity because they're running for 283 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:26,240 office because election is near. Hello, hello. 284 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,800 So they need more publicity. But listen up. 285 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:34,520 These things you do is something you do even without the eyes of 286 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,560 the public. It's innate in you. 287 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,120 It comes from within. The driving force is coming from 288 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:45,840 your heart. It's unstoppable. 289 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,320 You cannot control yourself from from from looking at people with 290 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,560 mercy in your eyes. Where is that coming from? 291 00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:59,440 That is the point. These people do not have that. 292 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,360 They don't have. They don't care. 293 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,120 Why? Because their characteristics in 294 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:14,880 one word, my one word is this. They are self selfish. 295 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:26,040 The ship are selfless, the goats are selfish. 296 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,560 They will not do anything if they cannot gain. 297 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,640 If they do not have profit out of it, what will I get from 298 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,560 that? If I do you a favor, what will I 299 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,320 get? Hello. 300 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,720 They want to secure, you know what they can gain from what 301 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,400 they do. If none, they will not do 302 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,080 anything. They will not lay a finger to 303 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:56,680 help you, but the ship, when they see you are, you know 304 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,920 you're struggling. Whatever you're doing, if 305 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,360 they're there, they will run to help you. 306 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,720 Are you listening? Those who have eyes, ears to 307 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,360 hear, hear. This is the word of the Lord. 308 00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:18,080 So what's the basis? What determines the choice? 309 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,800 His choice? Listen #1 ship's 310 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,480 characteristics. The summary is they feed the 311 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,080 hungry, give drink to the thirsty, show hospitality to 312 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,120 strangers, clothe the naked, care for the sick and visit them 313 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:38,160 prison. These people are selfless. 314 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,720 I am not saying that we are saved by works. 315 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,840 That is not the message. We are saved by grace through 316 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,960 faith in Christ Jesus. The good works are just result 317 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,440 of your salvation. Amen. 318 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,680 So let me #2 The Lord Jesus is describing the acts of kindness, 319 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:10,160 love, mercy, and care that naturally flows from our hearts 320 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,520 that we perform for others is the fruit or the byproduct of a 321 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:21,760 genuine relationship with God. The good deeds or fruit is the 322 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,440 proof that the Spirit of God lives in US and has influenced 323 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:36,440 us to do good deeds. It's the driving force inside 324 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:43,520 our hearts. If that is not you, I am sharing 325 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,720 this verse today. You need to cry out to God. 326 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,960 Lord transform me. I want radical transformation. 327 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,960 I want you to become Lord of my life, not just Savior. 328 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,680 Amen. Amen. 329 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,680 Because if not, you are only living for yourself and you're 330 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:10,480 wasting your time on earth. Our life here, if you're not 331 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:20,360 serving the Lord is a waste. You have to serve the Lord every 332 00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:25,240 second of the day of you. Breathing is very important 333 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,040 because if you are on your deathbed, you know what, it's 334 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,800 going to be hard. My grip, my Lord. 335 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,200 Oh God, sorry I wasted so much time. 336 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,320 I'm telling you, serve the Lord now. 337 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,680 Amen. Get involved. 338 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:52,000 Join the DBS, join the Home group, join trainings, attend, 339 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,480 participate. Because you know what, life is 340 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,720 short. It is so short, I realize it. 341 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,000 I'm a grandfather now. But then it was like yesterday. 342 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,360 But if you're not aligned with God, you're not tuned with God, 343 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,000 the Lord is not going to lead you to places where you can 344 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,800 become a blessing. Because how will God send you if 345 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:23,920 you are not a blessing? Be a blessing here, here, start 346 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,360 in the church. Amen. 347 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,520 So the Lord who sees our hearts, our motives, everything that we 348 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:40,040 do, the Lord is going to make a way to send you so you can 349 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,520 become a blessing. And I believe even this farming 350 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,080 thing is a blessing from the Lord. 351 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,480 Only God can teach us these things. 352 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,040 Amen. God is preparing His people. 353 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,240 So let me go back. This is the final point. 354 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,240 I'm sorry, let's go back #3 this is the last. 355 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,640 In other words, His sheep are obedient. 356 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,960 They follow the shepherd's voice because they know the voice of 357 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:15,640 God, while goats in general are stubborn and independent. 358 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,200 I'm going to show you a picture. OK, just very quickly. 359 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,880 So eyes on the display on the screen. 360 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,680 OK, Who is that? So that was me. 361 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,560 OK, So I'm happy that there's some pictures. 362 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:41,800 Now look, this is just one of my pet, no one of my playmate. 363 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:49,040 I have a lot of playmates in the farm, farm animals since since 364 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:57,000 my grade school years. The the OK that variety, the 365 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,400 breed, I'm sorry, the breed is the Anglo Nobian breed. 366 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,200 It's good for meat and milk producers. 367 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,840 So before I go to school, I have to wake up at dawn to to clean 368 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,360 the area to I mean, I was doing farming since I was young, OK. 369 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,480 And I hated it, not realizing that. 370 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,800 Now I'm back with farming and I love it. 371 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,440 So during those days it was like Moses me growing up. 372 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,600 It's like my training ground. Now I'm in the real world. 373 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:39,440 So before going to school, I have to milk the goats, 374 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,640 etcetera, attend them and bring them there. 375 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,240 And I have observed. So after school I go back to the 376 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,600 house, water the plants of my grandma, and then run back to 377 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,120 school to do the PE or the YDT. We call it before YDT, not PE. 378 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,320 Right now it's no longer PE. It's called mapping. 379 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,320 Mapping. OK, So but my, I have a problem 380 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,680 with these goats. OK, the young and the old ones, 381 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,440 you know, if don't they don't like you, they will. 382 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,520 So I under Ganila and my my cousin because they they don't, 383 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,880 most of them don't like my cousin. 384 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,200 So you know when he's not looking. 385 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,760 So they will run and run and head back the, the, the Lubot. 386 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680 And of course I scold them, Hey, don't do that. 387 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,600 And so I, you know, they, but no matter how, what kind of 388 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,760 discipline you do with these goats, they still cannot get it. 389 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120 And guess what? I tell them, Hey, no, not there. 390 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,000 So I tie them somewhere because we planted. 391 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,400 Look, look, look, I'm not here, correct? 392 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,960 So thank you. So we have a place we planted 393 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Napier. So we, we, I tend them there. 394 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,160 But then guess what? If somebody will be loose from, 395 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,080 from whatever, they will go to the flowers, they will go to 396 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,720 where our plants and they will eat. 397 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,200 And they're not going to consume everything. 398 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,960 They eat a little here, a little there. 399 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:23,320 And then they're so disobedient. They're so stubborn man, but I 400 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320 love some of them because some of them are not like that. 401 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,040 Some are behave. And guess what? 402 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,360 Those who does not behave, I tell them this. 403 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:39,760 I said watch out this coming December, you are a candidate. 404 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,440 I'm sure you will be a candidate because you have been my 405 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920 headache ever since. Every day. 406 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,600 You're a headache to me every day. 407 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:59,200 Guys, don't let God tell you on December, don't be a headache. 408 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,480 Amen. Amen. 409 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,400 Because you know what, God is a God of love is a God of 410 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,840 discipline. But The thing is, there is going 411 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,320 to come a time when he is going to judge. 412 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,160 And, and one of the features that I see the difference is 413 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,600 their coat. You know the ship, they have 414 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:27,160 wool while the goats have hair. OK, the feeding habits, sheep 415 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680 primarily graze. You know what's a graze? 416 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,440 It's they stoop down and they they eat even if there's small 417 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,480 grass, they eat everything including the stem. 418 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,440 They can survive. But our goats, they will not eat 419 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,800 the stem. They will just eat the leaves, 420 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:52,680 hello and etcetera, etcetera. So the sheep, if you're a sheep, 421 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,720 whatever you hear from the word of God, you will eat them all. 422 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,200 Hello. Same. 423 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,520 And the sheep, they will eat like that. 424 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,520 But the goats, not every time they eat like that. 425 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,280 If they see leaves upset, they climb. 426 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,360 In fact, goats are good climbers. 427 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:26,040 Hello. So so guys, the way they eat is 428 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,560 the way you eat the word of God. Do you love the word of God 429 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,720 meaning to say goats? They don't like the word of God. 430 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:44,160 They may know some, but it's a behavior now, social behavior. 431 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,400 Sheep are social and they flock together. 432 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,000 Well, goats are individualistic and independent. 433 00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:00,560 So when there is, you know, when there is a, a threat or danger, 434 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:06,160 the, the ship, we can come together and they run in circle, 435 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:12,920 OK, forming one big body, OK. Unlike the goats, when they see 436 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,920 danger, they they scatter. They, they, they don't have, 437 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,000 it's so different, OK, it's so different. 438 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,800 So anyway, guys, I, I don't like to eat much of the time, but I 439 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,680 can, I can expound more on this, not just from experience, but 440 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,680 there's so many characteristics or behavior that you see a 441 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,000 difference that you can connect. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ 442 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:46,520 the the the the righteous judge himself shared the topic on or 443 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,040 the metaphor that he used between sheep and goats. 444 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,240 Don't be a goat. You are not a goat. 445 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:03,120 Let's pray that people will be saved and transformed. 446 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840 Radical transformation. Amen. 447 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:13,639 Now, because we have time, because if not, we know what's 448 00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:17,320 going to happen when He comes, He will separate the sheep from 449 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,600 the goats. So listen up. 450 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,400 Generally, the believers and the unbelievers, if you have Christ 451 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,400 in you, you're safe, Amen. You believe in Christ, you're 452 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,400 repented from sin, you're safe. But if you don't, if you refuse 453 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,960 Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you don't repent from your sins, 454 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,159 you don't have relationship with God, then surely you're a goat, 455 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:44,199 correct? Amen. 456 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:52,000 So friends, going back, that is why in my heart, my revelation 457 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:58,920 is this. Lord, I really need to pray for 458 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:05,600 the save and the unsafe. Hello, let's pray for them. 459 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:13,920 Lord, I pray that people will be transformed from selfishness to 460 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:23,440 selflessness, from self focus to God focus life. 461 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,280 Amen. And guess what? 462 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:36,920 We cannot do it by ourselves. The flesh that is prone to sin, 463 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:42,680 that you know, attached with a sinful nature cannot change 464 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,120 anything. We need the Holy Spirit, we need 465 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,760 the word of God and get This is my experience. 466 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,520 I cannot become dependent of God unless I have both the prayer 467 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:05,160 life and the study of the Word. You have to read the Word of 468 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,720 God. Amen. 469 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,560 What? What you feed your mind when you 470 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,760 saturate your mind with the Word, with the Scriptures, 471 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,760 Hallelujah, you're learning more from the Word. 472 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,120 It's God using the Word to teach us. 473 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,560 It's God communicating to us. It's God talking to us. 474 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,160 And now we try to understand. That's why the Bible says hear 475 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,200 and obey. And those who hear him are his 476 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,120 sheep. They believe that. 477 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,960 My sheep, what did Jesus say? My sheep hears my voice. 478 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,360 He said, I know them and they follow me. 479 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,440 To them I gave, I give eternal life and no one will be able to 480 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,960 snatch them out of my hands, neither from my Father's hand. 481 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,680 Amen. That's in the book of John. 482 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,320 It's not part of my presentation, but it's in the 483 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,720 Bible. So, so I want you to think about 484 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:10,360 this. If Jesus used this metaphor, use 485 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,840 it use it to, to to to gauge yourself. 486 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,920 Lord, am I on your right or I am on the left? 487 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,800 Where is your right? This OK? 488 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,360 Am I on the right or am I on the left? 489 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:34,560 You just have to use a logic common sense. 490 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,240 Amen. So if Jesus used this this in 491 00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:44,360 his teaching, this metaphor, I believe he's giving us something 492 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:52,080 and it is important for us to make Jesus not only as our 493 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,520 Savior, but Lord, meaning we follow him. 494 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:04,520 Christianity is about repenting from sin and following Jesus. 495 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,320 That is Christianity. If you claim to be a Christian 496 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,000 and you're not following Jesus, you are not a Christian. 497 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,640 Christianity means being Christ centered. 498 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:22,200 You are in the state of being in Christ Jesus, nothing more, 499 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,240 nothing less. It's not about religion. 500 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,040 That's why religion cannot save us. 501 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,200 Religion is nothing but good works, but good works will not 502 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,840 save us. But if the good works that you 503 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,520 perform are coming from the the the leading of the spirit in 504 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:46,360 you, well that is good. Amen, Amen, Bah. 505 00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:55,760 So that I believe I want to to share with you because truly we 506 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,600 live in the last days. If during the time of Paul is 507 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,400 already, if that time, if those days were already last days for 508 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,280 them, how much more now? Amen. 509 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,160 So we have to pray. I know we have loved ones who 510 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,400 need Jesus who are not saved yet. 511 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,480 So we need to spend more time in prayer and we have friends that 512 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:29,320 are no longer active in the Lord who are now serving themselves 513 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,720 only. Let's pray for them. 514 00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:35,040 Let's not argue with them. Let's pray for them. 515 00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:38,440 It's hard to argue with selfish people. 516 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,160 You will never win. They will always win. 517 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,200 You don't need to win an argument. 518 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:49,120 You just need to pray and say God, revival and awakening, 519 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,960 Hallelujah, Amen. Are you there? 520 00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:02,840 I love you guys and I hope that I know you're praying, but if 521 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,000 you know you can intensify a prayer to it. 522 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,840 Talk to God. Always read the Bible. 523 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:17,200 Become dependent on God and you will become selfless for God, 524 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,240 not selfish.
