Come out from among them

Come out from among them
Je retranscris ici mes notes du message prêché dans mon assemblée ce dimanche 21 janvier 2007


---ANGLAIS---
Topic: "COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM"

Genesis 12:1
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee

- God is telling Abram to leave everything and stard another life, to leave all these things that can not profit him

- A lot of christians are acting according to the old paths. So many churches and so many different characters: churches with only black people, churches with only white people, gossiping, hatred, ...
It is hard time to leave all those things behind and start a new life

- God was not stupid to tell Abram to leave his country.
If you are a stranger in the land you are living today, have confidence in God: He will help you face the life He wants you to live.

---------------------

Hebrews 3:17
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

- The greatest sin on earth is when God shows you, and you refuse to believe. He gives you a revelation, a work to do, but you pretend, and refuse to do it, you cover up: you are blaspheming the name of God.

By doing so, you are bringing yourself down.

Do not oppress yourself for nothing when God has already placed all blessings in you.

---------------------

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching

- Do not forsake your gathering with your brothers.
There is benefit in coming together, but some despise it because they do not understand this benefit.

Your coming to church must not depend on people.
So often, disharmony prevails among us. Have you noticed that jealousy, anger, unforgiveness, bring chest pain?
All those things can not lead you to life and eternity, but they will give frustration and failure.
You better break off before it is too late. Let it go and you will be free.

Have love for your brothers, do the things of the Lord.
We are here to make a family, not to make enemies.

- Some are so much in darkness that they can not even define themselves.
But the second coming of Christ is at hand already, you need to be prepared.

It is hard time for you to know your roots.
Some people come from their native land with their talismans in the suitcase... you know, just in case...of incasity.
But they do not know who they are in Christ.

- The one in us is greater than the one outside.
We come here, to church, to gather together, because we know who we are in Christ. If not, better stay at home.
The Lors is with you, so you do not have to fear the devil.
If you are sick, relax your mind, call on the name of the Lord, and invite thte Holy Spirit to heal you.

Let your mind be at rest in the arms of your saviour.
Repent, and go away from the evil things.
Put on the whole armour of the Lord, all His light.

- No matter where we come from, we are one family
(see Psalm 87)
If you call yourself a christian, you have to be Christlike.
Ask yourself: am I in the true path, or in the opposite side?

---------------------

John 6:57
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me

- You are not ordinary person when you are a christian: the spirit of the Lord dwells in you

You do not have to be afraid: have that boldness to do everything that seems impossible
If you believe, all things are possible. You can even do more things than Jesus-Christ did
(see John 14:12)

We are the branches of the Holy tree, so why are we afraid?
Why do we carry the old things that limit us since 2006 years?

Come out from among them!
You have already chosen the right side, so why are you still afraid?
Do not be only the hearer, but be also the doer of the Word

Let the light of God shine in you and around you.
If people tell you things that trouble you, just go into the Bible to find the answer and the peace, rebuke the so-called friends that bring you down from the presence of the Lord
Continue to eat the Word of God, do not let them distract your attention from the Kingdom of God, do not let them corrupt you. But pray for them, and stay in His path.

---------------------

Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

- Who you are, you duplicate it around you.
Let you light shine before men. The way you behave, talk, do things, that is the way you can let your light shine

- Your culture spoiled many things in the house of God, your tradition makes the work of God to go up and down.
Do you think that the Almighty gave darkness as knowledge to your forefathers?
Do you really believe that your talismans and traditional beliefs are the inheritance that God has kept for you?

---------------------

John 8:23
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world

- We are on a journey: we do not belong here.
Once you are a christian, realize that you are passing by on this earth.

Go out from that place, leave this culture away.
When it does not recognize the glory of Jesus-Christ, we need to let our culture behind.

The place where we are going needs just one identity, one passport.

Have you really found your roots? Have you really found who you are?

Check yourself well: Are you from this world or from God?

Je retranscris ici mes notes du message prêché dans mon assemblée ce dimanche 12 novembre 2006


---ANGLAIS---
Topic: "Series of 'believe'"

Believe = perceive → becoming aware
Believe brings growth → increase, development

There are many sources of belief.
But 5 are major ones, things that make us to know God, things that a believer is aware of.
Belief comes out from:
1/ testimony
2/ hearing word of advice
3/ actions of the people of God
4/ preaching
5/ naturally belief from infant

- How many of these things do you have?

The opposite of belief:
. people that do not believe in testimony
. people that have failed to perceive the testimony
. people that have failed to hear what people are saying about God.
They do not listen to advice: you can talk to them, they will never change, never believe
. people that do not believe in the actions of God
. people that right from the womb do not believe in God: God has rejected them
-------

- Why is it so important to perceive, to believe in God, to know God?

2 points, 2 motives:
- for you to grow/increase/develop in the Lord
- to be exposed to the things of God
There are people that refuse the qualification that God gave to them, because of the worldly things

-------

Deuteronomy 29:4
Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day

- The heart to perceive is the heart to know God.
And if God did not give you such an understanding, you will never know Him.

The critical organ in the body is the heart: it is the most important thing.
There are people that know God only from the mind.

- If your heart does not perceive God, you are a pharisee. And if you are, you live in darkness.

- This is the day where God wants us to receive a heart of perceiving

-------

John 4:19
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet

- It can be that the whole world has rejected you; if it is so, and you perceive God in your heart, you are blessed.
But watch your steps if the whole world is against you

- If you are among 50 people, and friend only 2 people, you do not know God. For we are all in 1 body, and our head is Jesus-Christ
As people used to say :
"Christ is the head of this house, the unseen guest at every meal, the silent listener to every conversation"

- The aim of this church: increase and develop in the Word.
Our motto: The Lord is my shepherd
meaning: the end crowns the work.
The Lord is my shepherd because at the end, God will not leave me empty handed

- Here in John 4:19, the woman does everything according to what God says. She was a prostitute, but because of her, the whole people was saved

So, who are you that God can not use you? Who are you that you hide yourself from the presence of God?
The well of life is deep, how can you make it in life if you continue like that?

- It is your power: what people say about you does not matter.
As a man of God said one day
"It doesn't mean what people say, but it means what Jesus says"


John 4:11
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

- The woman said: the well is deep, how are you going to drink the water?
Jesus-Christ did not care about the life of this woman

-------

- This message came because in this church we do not perceive God in our heart.
The spirit of God is always laughing when it comes to greetings while opening the service


Song:
Hold somebody
Tell him that you love him
Lift your hands together
And praise the Lord


When you sing this song, sing it with your heart!

- We need to change!


Song:
I say yes, yes, yes
I say yes, yes, yes
I say yes my Lord, I say yes my Lord
I say yes, yes, yes


- God does not care about who you are or who you were, he cares about your heart right here and right now: do not mock God, do not deceive Him, so that you will grow
-------

- All the time, Jesus-Christ used the word "believe" with people

- Faith → comes through belief, its foundation. Faith is the next level.

- That is why Jesus-Christ always attacked people on it: "do you believe?"
He healed a lot, and a lot were not healed because of lack of belief

- Thomas already perceived Jesus-Christ in his mind, but did not in his heart

- Peter also had the same thing: "do you love me?" asked Jesus-Christ to him 3 times.
It is only then that Peter felt the power of the Lord

-------

- Do you understand the meaning of worshiping? talking to God in your heart?
Instead, you pray with one eyes closed, one open...

- If you could see the actions of God, you would change

-------

John 4:25
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things


- She perceived Jesus-Christ in her heart

1/ Jesus-Christ exposed this woman
2/ She knew this man exposed her, and she started thinking that maybe this man was the messiah

- You do not want Jesus-Christ to expose you, and you want to develop? It is never done

If you want to be a fisher of men, expose yourself to the things of God

-------

- This church is Jesus-Christ's, not for pastor

- A church has to have 5 good strong spirits:
1/ preaching spirit
2/ vision
3/ word of God
4/ teaching
5/ understand the prophecy

in order to fight the spirits of:
. unbelief in testimony
. hearing but misunderstanding the Word of God

- Everybody can come and preach on the pulpit, because God sow a seed on this church.

- If you block somebody for not to have these spirits of God in your church, the person will always go away from you.

- Use what God has given to you as a gift, so that you will bless other people

- Church is not a secret society, it is open to everybody.

- Do not wait for people to call you before to come to church

-------

John 4:42
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world

- Miracles are very few: we have heard the man by ourselves

- With our God, we just go down on our knees and he is willing to listen to us: there is no suffering before to talk to God: because verywhere you go, he is always with you.

Because God is your friend


Song:
Jesus my only friend
He has delivered me
My heart is full of joy
I will never leave him


- You are a friend to God, it depends the way you use him → I no longer call you my servants, but my friends (John 15:15)

- Jesus-Christ is a light to my feet: wherever I go, I wait upon that light

- Things that you can not discuss with your father, you will discuss it with your friend, with God

- The Word of God is a spirit: if you receive it, you have received God

-------

John 9:17
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet

- What are you going to say finally, to Jesus-Christ: yes or no?

- The spirit of God is calm and gentle, but his actions are strong and mighty.

- Are you going to honour him from your mouth or from your heart?

- Expose yourself: do not seat on the gift of God.
Do not wait for people to come to church before you

-------

John 9:27
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

- The disciple is exposed to the things of light,
pharisee to the things of darkness

- Do you believe that the son of God came to save?
I can say: He is the son of God, he is the opener of my life, He is my salvation, and I can say it boldly


Song:
He’s the Lord, Amen
He has risen from the death
He's the Lord, Halleluiah
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess
That Jesus-Christ is the Lord

-------

John 9:36
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

- You never know who Jesus-Christ is, that is why you are still crying.
You are in the arms of God, and still running away from the devil


Song:
Where could I go,
Oh where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend
To save me in the end
Where could I go but to the Lord


- Say to God: I want to believe, to become aware of you
-------

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life


- Whoever follows him will walk in the light: whoever believes in him will follow him.
Do you believe in Jesus-Christ? Then you need to follow Him


- Things that people have gone to school for and could not understand, you are having it freely thanks to the spirit of God.
He is the great teacher, even when you are sleeping, he will teach you.

- You will be used by god.

- Get connected, exposed to the things of God: it is very easy

-------

John 8:19
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also


- Jesus-Christ is telling us: if you know him, you will not misbehave... while service in church is going on for instance.

- Right from now, start to know Jesus

-------

John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins

- He that does not believe in Jesus-Christ will die in his sins
If you do not stop the filthy things you are doing, you will die in your sins.

- If I lose the whole world and receive Jesus-Christ, I am satisfied

- If you do not believe in Jesus-Christ, you will die: God is telling us the pharisees to stop exposing ourselves to darkness

- This is the truth: your talisman is under your pillow, hidden by a bible, and you call yourself a believer.
Remove it, because God is willing to bless you; this thing is blocking your way.
Some have talismans, and remove it from their neck before to enter church, some put it in their shoe...
If you use it to make money, or to subdue somebody, you will face the consequences

- There is nothing that can save you, only the power of God

Love!

Love!
"The more effort you give, the more you expose yourself to the possibility of disappointment. But that is certainly no reason to avoid the effort.

The more love you give, the more you expose yourself to the possibility of being hurt. Yet it would hurt infinitely more to have never given any love.

Sure, life has its pitfalls. The key is not to avoid them out of fear, but to overwhelm them with positive purpose.

For effort, while it can sometimes bring disappointment, more often brings great accomplishment. And love, while it can bring heartbreak, more often brings a level of fulfillment that cannot be matched.

Every experience, no matter what the outcome, adds richness and depth to your life. With the positive moments you build joy, and with the difficult times you build strength.

Engage yourself fully in the details of living, and with each day you add value to your life that cannot be taken away. Be an active, enthusiastic participant in this day, and you'll come away from it with real, lasting treasure.

one love

How to receive your blessing from GOD

Publié le 06/11/2006 à 12:00 par today
How to receive your blessing from GOD
Je retranscris ici mes notes du message prêché dans mon assemblée ce dimanche 5 novembre 2006.


---ANGLAIS---
Topic: "How to receive your blessing from GOD"

- Whether we believe in Him or not, God does good to us

- How to receive the blessings of God?

- What is the blessing of God?

- It is better to avoid problems which is a result of blessing than to be delivered from them which is a result of a miracle.
There are three important reasons for receiving from God through blessing rather than miracle:
1/ Blessing prevents from problems while miracles delivers from problems
2/ Blessing is always more abundant supply than miracle
3/ Miracles are temporary fix while blessings are permanent solutions

Blessing: is permanent
Blessing is not things (ex: money, car, …)
Blessing is a divine spoken favour from God when mixed with faith will produce abundance in spirit, soul and body:
(Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith)

. how? → through knowledge of the kingdom of life
God prefers to keep us healthy than to heal us

-------

Mark 4:26
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground

- The kingdom of God: a living experience of a blessed live

The seed is the word of God, the foundation of everything
(John1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God)

The ground is our heart (Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side)

Planting the seed = meditate = to think

Meditate = ask questions:
. when?→ directs you to another scripture→ how? → directs you to another scripture→ why? → etc.

- If you are not controlled by the word of God, you are controlled by the world

-------

Hebrews 4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it
-------

Psalm 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple

Converting: change
If your soul is going the wrong direction with depression, discouragement, unforgiveness, anger, only the Word of God can change it.

The average Christian believe on living holy and prayer; not that living holy and prayer aren’t good but for me prayer is like water like fertilizer.
You’ll be considered as crazy if you don’t put any seed, or grain in the ground, and start watering an empty ground and expect something to grow, it means then that you want a miracle.
So before you pray and live a holy live make sure you have planted the seed

-------

Mark 4:26-29
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come

- God is not a magician.
Jesus-Christ used the image of seed, because with God the process of understanding Him is gradual, step by step.
If you plant something, you get what it back.

You cannot plant a seed of orange and expect banana to grow.
What our life produces is what we meditate on.

- When you sow the word of God, you don’t know what is going on, only God knows.
It is like when a woman gets pregnant: first she doesn’t know that she is; then she knows but nobody knows yet; when the stomach gets big then everybody will know without her telling anyone, and the baby will come out which is the fruit of the seed.

Let’s see what the fruits of the Word of God are:

-------

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

- The word of God is a spirit: you can tear a bible into pieces, it will not affect the word of God.
We need to place the word of God in our heart

- When you have joy, peace, longsuffering, love, you don’t need anything more.

- The most important is not to know the Word in our mind, but to let the Word be spirit in our life

-------

Mark 4:15-17
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended

- The moment we receive the Word is the time where we are the most fragile.
Satan is after the Word of God not to penetrate in us, because he knows that as soon as we put it on, it will be very hard for him to operate in our life.

-------

Psalm 32:8-9
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee

- The ability to understand the Word is a gift from God.
So we have no excuse: everybody can understand the word of God, nobody should say that one can not receive the Word of God

- No root, no fruit:
When we are just in the surface with the Word of God, Satan will come and steal it.

- Afflictions and persecutions can come in many ways, in order to hinder you to meditate on the Word of God. Because he knows that if you understand the Word, you will be very hard to bring in his kingdom.

- If you have never encountered the devil in your life, it means that you are going the same way with him
-------

4/ Distraction coming from responsibilities


Mark 4:18-19
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful

- The more responsibilities you have, the less you will see time to meditate on the Word
We cry unto God, but our heart is still on the things of this world

- God wants us to live without problems

- Nothing can fight the Word of God

- If you don’t see something as a problem, then it will not be a problem.
So the next level is to see your life as full of blessings, and without problems
We make the problems, God doesn’t make the problems: it depends on how we see things

- Before the Word of God produces something in your life, you need to have less things

- The blessings of God is the experience of the Kingdom, Jesus-Christ said it: the kingdom of God is at hand

- You can’t change, but the Word of God will change you

- When we have problems, we like people to pet us: “I’m sorry for you, don’t worry, you’ll be ok”, etc.
But Jesus-Christ rebuked the disciples telling them why are you afraid don’t you have faith?
(Mark 4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side)

So stop crying about your condition and have faith

- The Word of God enables us to go to the other side: cross the river of doubt, depression unforgiveness, anger; and experience the Kingdom of God: we have the key God has done his part by giving us the word, now is for us to make it be alive in us

- We have to spend our time with the Word of God

The work of the Holy spirit

Publié le 26/10/2006 à 12:00 par today
The work of the Holy spirit
---ANGLAIS---
Topic: "The work of the Holy spirit"

The Word → proceed from the Father
The strength → the Holy spirit
secret → strength and Fater → hidden
divine → the Word → ability to perform action → John 1:14

The work of the Holy spirit is defensive and offensive, rhema and logos, apiritual and physical.
This word cannot strengthen, except the Holy spirit strengthens it.

Strength is secret, you can not see it: it is divine.
The work that you do is the ability of this strength. the strength is the Holy spirit.

The word "secret" means "hidden" → proceed from the Father.

Divine is the ability to perform action, confidence or courage.
When you have strength you have confidence and courage. If not, you can not perform, and have no ability to perform.
---

The Holy spirit acts in 2 ways: defensive and offensive: rhema (spiritual) and logos (physical, things that we see).
Examples:
. When Jesus was praying in the garden, the angels came and strengthened him

Luke 22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him

This action of the angels was the work of the Holy spirit, to defend Jesus-Christ.

. When Daniel was thrown in the lions cage, the angels came and defended him

Daniel 6:22
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt

Rhema → nobody sees the Holy spirit coming down into the lion cage.

When you are in trouble, it is the Holy spirit that comes to your help.
Sometimes, the Holy spirit turns to be logos to you, to attack you when you doubt.
Example:
. The king Nebuchadnezzar experienced it when he tried to kill Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

Daniel 3:22-25
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God

When you have your prophecy, it is rhema. And when it comes to physical, it is logos.
Example:
. The promise of Isaac to Abraham, and his birth

Genesis 15:3-4
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir
Genesis 21:2-3
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac


Do not use the Holy spirit anyhow, especially when you argue with someone.
The Holy ghost is always offensive with people that are defying God.
---
Before you give something to God, the Holy spirit has to sanctify it.
---

. Goliath said : I want to destroy Israël; but Israël is God's children.
The Holy spirit came on David mightily, and David was stronger than before. He was not David anymore, but became Holy spirit

1 Samuel 17:50
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David

. Samson thad the same issue: he killed thousant of people.
When the Holy spirit bounces on you, you are not the same anymore, you are transfigured; even if you are a little child, you can prophecy.

When Jesus went to the mountain, he was tranfigured, changed.
So when you receive the Holy spirit in you, you are not the same again.
---
WHAT IS IN ME IS BIGGER THAN WHAT IS OUTSIDE.
---

. When the Holy ghost came on mountain Sinai, it was not mountain anymore, it was the presence of god

Exodus 19:18
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly

Jesus was not in the heaven, in the heaven he was the Word. It is only when he came on flesh that he became Jesus.

If the Holy spirit come upon you, you will whip all your enemies within a twinkle of an eye.
The Holy spirit is the presence of God.
That is why you do not have to sin against the Holy spirit.
When you see someone prophecizing, shut up your mouth Because you don not know how the Holy spirit is moving



Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law

- The secret, divine things, belong to the Father.
The things that we see belong to us.
The secret things are for us, the strength



Psalm 88:4
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength

- When problems are many, we cry: "there is noone that can save us, I can not make it, I have no strength".
Those that are dead have no strength, but you are alive, strengthen yourself!
Before you tell the mountain to move, a secret has to be performed → go down on your knees, and pray.
If the devil is not willing to let go, draw the devil: enough is enough. Do not let him go. This is the time for you to ask God: DEFEND Me!
Stop deceiving yourself saying to the devil: take it, I have antoher one



John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth

- Before the world, there was the Word. The Father is Elohim (plural form of one God → Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness)

Something needed to proceed from the Father. The Word of God came to the world → who arranged the world had to repair it.
Lucifer had the light, and he lost it. Jesus-Christ is the strength of the Father.
When you call the name of Jesus-Christ, the devil can not stay: because he does not know that man.
It takes people that have strength to call on the name of Jesus.
---
THE WORD BECAME FLESH: IT IS INSIDE YOU ALREADY

---

Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

- Which problem is going to weigh you down?

The problem of devil: he does not know how to off the power of God. He is wondering: this one is only one person, and how come that I can not stand beside him?
---
JESUS-CHRIST IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION
---
You know Jesus and you are sad?
If you are not happy with Jesus, the devil will make you sad.


Song:
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow,
I know he watches me

LIGHTER OF JAH, BE MY GUIDE
---

Joshua 14:11
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in

- The Holy spirit never change. The Father is the same yesterday, today, and for ever. The power of God never change. As it was in the beginning, so shall it be at the end.
People used to criticize Joshua, that he is going down. But Joshua had faith that the Father will strengthen him.
Where is your strength? going down or increasing day by day?
The more you grow by knowledge, the more the Spirit grows. Do not backslide



Luke 22:43
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him

- When the strength of the Holy spirit come on you, whatever you say, shall be

Life in process - Vie en évolution

---ANGLAIS---
Topic: "Life in process"

definitions:
Life: period between birth and death
Process: gradual change

- In the life of a christian, there must be 3 major points:
donation: offer
formation: vision
appreciation: effort

Note: What we are getting daily in the midst of life process is the little donation, formation, appreciation, through prayer.
In all you need understanding, otherwise all you do is in vain.

Hebrews 13:15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name

- If you want to gain something for yourself, you need to offer something. As God wanted to gain the Men to Him, he gave His son.
If you put a correct seed on the ground, your harvest will bring good. The way you give, it is the way you will harvest.
God offered Jesus-Christ to be killed. His beloved son.
If you want to gain, you need to offer.
The old widow that only had a penny to give to God, she gave it with effort because she had the vision of who she was giving to.
Today, christians have a lot of blessings on their shoulders, and they are even asking for more. But are you ready to give to God?

- We should not believe human praise

- God is feeding us with his word, the rest is up to you. Don't say: because of one person, you will not follow God.
Our lips need to appreciate the good things God is doing for us.
You want to be a big man, but you refuse to appreciate the word of God

Abandon

Abandon
Je retranscris ici mes notes du message prêché dans mon assemblée ce dimanche 1er octobre 2006.


---ANGLAIS---
Topic: "Abandon"
synonyms: Give up, refrain from, drop, break

Through social practices
[fun fair, club together, ...]

or cultural/traditional practices
[idol worshiping, festivals, rembrances, slaughtering of blood, dropping things on the graves of the dead, ...],

christians abandon God's works.

The work of God must not be abandoned.

Note: all such social and cultural practices appear harmless on the surface, but spiritually they lead innocent christians into bondage to the devil and his demons.

Caution : maintain constant faith and vigilance when you get involved in such practices. Do not create opportunity for any demon to harass you or cost you to abandon God.
If not, you will make yourself an instrument of devil.

1. SOCIAL


Nehemiah 6:2-3
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you ?

- They sent a message to Nehemiah, who is doing the work of God (repairing the temple) : so that they will distract him from God -like your friends finding excuses to meet you when you are serving God.

But Nehemiah knew that:
1- God is a jealous God
2- he can not serve Mammon and God at the same time
He did not want to be an unidentified believer: Nehemiah wanted to serve God first.

Choose who you want to serve.
Nowadays, we think of our own before God's own.
Even though you don't put God first, Jesus will remain the same: he has already died on the cross. Now it is your turn to die, taking on the cross and following Jesus.
Nehemiah said: I can't leave God today, and follow the world.

See: if God abandon you for one second, you can be sure that death will meet you


Nehemiah 6:8
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart

Nehemiah said to them: your motive is wrong.

Nehemiah 6:9
For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands

Nehemiah said: they are trying to weaken me.
But you have to say: please, God first


Nehemiah 6:11
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in

God doesn't need you to wait for the end of your life. A man like you, should you run away, because your friends say: don't go to church?
If I do such a thing, where would I run to?


1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord

Never let anything (money, cars, sickness, women, obstacles, lasciviousness, ...) move you from the power of God, so that you will not refrain from God.

If god has saved you, you know where you were before, isn't it? Are you still there? Why?

We have to be a sticker to Jesus: following him, like a sticker to a car. We are at the back, Jesus is at front.
Anywhere you will go, Jesus is with you: he will never leave you, nor forsake you.
Never leave Jesus alone, because he is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow: no way out. So, no weapon of the devil shall prosper against you.

But when Jesus is not with you, the devil will prosper.


2 Chronicles 15:8
And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD

When Asa heard that the people has abandoned God with idol worshiping, and that God was annoyed, he took courage, and start repairing.

Christians have failed to take courage: so Jesus will never work for them. Because he works with courageous people, who stand firm in the name of Jesus.
It will not mean whether you are wearing cross or not.

Take courage: the friend of "ask" is "give". If you don't ask, you will not experience it.
Courage goes with blessing (ex: if you don't resist to the temptation of drinking, you will not know the blessing that is waiting behind).

Flee from the devil, and he will flee from you.


John 13:36-38
Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice

You see what courage brings.
Jesus said to Peter: wait this time.
The first time, Peter failed when Jesus invited him to walk on the water : before, Peter was not a sticker to Jesus. In a way, he was sinking.
Here, Jesus says : Peter, you are not ready, the cross is heavy, are you sure? Peter says: I am even going to be Jesus, and die for you. (He is so self-assured because he has healed a sick).
Peter always backslided beacause he was always thinking about his former life.

You need to deny yourself now, the decision must be taken. Nobody follows Him and go back the same.

Sing this song: "I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back"

You must walk with Jesus, not Jesus that has to walk with you.
He is such a gentleman that if you don't come to Him, He will not come to you.
In his road, there are so many dangers. The road is narrow, but He is with you.

2. TRADITION AND CULTURE


1 Peter 1:18-20
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

You know that it is not by metal or wood that you were saved, but by a precious blood, different from the blood of goats, different from jewels.

For one body, so many spirit are in you : if you have the power of cursing and affect somebody's life, you are a witch.

You want to make it in life? Choose God.
Stop deceiving yourself : marking yourself will not solve your problems.
You can stay in transe fasting for 21 days in smelly things, but 1 day of fasting for God is a problem.


Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ
