0:00 I thank God for these days. In the book of Isaiah, 0:21 chapter 10, verse 27, we read like this. Isaiah chapter 10, verse 27. 0:45 We read that the yoke of the enemy will be broken by the anointing. In my beautiful days, in my younger days, 1:05 I did not have a doubt about the experience of born again. But I was bound by many yokes of the enemy. 1:28 The only solution for that was anointing. I want to encourage you. I want to show you some yokes of the enemy. 1:49 Fear for men is such a yoke from enemy. Being ashamed for Christ's sake or to stand for faith is an yoke from the enemy. 2:18 The bond with the unbelievers is an yoke from the enemy. Being bound by some secret sins in our life is an yoke from the enemy. 2:41 Sometimes it may not be a sin, we can say it's a legitimate thing. But being bound to entertainment is an yoke from the enemy. After being born again in my early days of Christian life, I was bound by all the yoke. 3:16 I didn't have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I want to show you some verse with you. The fear for men. I was bound by it and I was not able to declare my faith in my work spot. 3:44 I joined a job, a government job at the age of 24. It was a Christian management school. He was a Christian management school. The faith that they had and the faith from the Bible was different. 4:05 And the Christian management school, it was an orthodox traditional school. It's a traditional Christian management school. And I was a compromiser. In those days, I was a compromiser. I was the only one who was a Protestant in the school. 4:27 All the other teachers were in the traditional Christian background. It was a Roman Catholic management school. I was a compromiser. In 1988, I attended a conference in Bangalore. 4:51 In those days, what Brother Zach told is still green to me, fresh to me. He said, "Don't be a compromiser." He said, "Be a Daniel." He said, "Be a Daniel." He said, "Be a Noah." He said, "Noah." 5:12 He said, "He should be like a Noah." He said, "Eliya." He said, "He should be like LHR." He asked, "Where is your backbone?" He asked, "Where is your backbone?" It had stimulated me. It had stimulated me. Because in those days, in my workplace, I was not able to confess my faith and I had hid my faith in me. 5:40 I didn't have the strength to confess my faith. I attended the conference in Bangalore. God encouraged me. I prayed, "Lord, fill me with your spirit so that when I go to work place, I will be able to stand for you." 6:01 Because I was scared, if I confess my faith, I may lose my job. It was a permanent job where I was getting a government salary. In those days, I was married and hired a small son. 6:27 I had a one-year baby. I used to think like this. If I had been single, okay, let the job go. I don't care. But now, my family is dependent on me. My wife and my son. I was struggling in those times. 6:49 I cried to the Lord, "Lord, fill me with your spirit." "Lord, I shouldn't be afraid of men." "Lord, I shouldn't be afraid of men." "Lord, because to keep the job, Lord, I don't want to, in a spot where I am not able to confess my faith." 7:07 "God strengthened me when I heard the message in the conference." "I went to the school and confessed." "By the fullness of the anointing, my yoke was broken." "I went to the school and confessed." "In those places, I stood for the Lord." 7:30 Six months notice, they gave me six months notice prayer. They told me, "If you are here working as a teacher, be according to this faith or step out." "I want to show a verse in Philippians chapter 1." 7:51 "Those days, God spoke to me through this verse." "Philippians chapter 1, verse 27, we read like this." "Possible." "Only conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ." 8:14 "So that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you." "That you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for a faith of the gospel." "God told me, live, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of this gospel." 8:39 "They gave me six months notice prayer." "I had two things before my eyes at that point of time." "Job." "Or my faith, how am I going to live?" "Those days, only anointing broke the yoke." 9:02 "My wife together decided one thing." "I told my wife, I may have to lose the job, let's get ready." "Sister also, my wife also cooperated with me." "Six month spirit got over." 9:24 "God turned the situation upside down." "He scattered all the authorities that was above me." "Fear of men is a yoke from the enemy." "In the same school, I worked for 31 years and got retired now." 9:50 "But in those days, I had the fear for men." "But in the same time, the anointing from the Holy Spirit took the fear from me." "In the volume of prayer, when we are young, we have so many fear in our life." "I want to tell you about the testimony of a young brother from my church." 10:17 "He's working in an IT company in Chennai." "He's working in an IT company in Chennai." "In the company, the team leader." "He had arranged a birthday party celebration at 10 o'clock in a hotel." 10:38 "He was a team leader and he had invited the whole team and everyone had to go." "In the volume of prayer, we had to finish this party." "But he knew if the party is at 10, he knew what kind of party it is." "I am going to go there." 11:02 "He knew that if he goes there, he may get corrupted." "I am going to go there." "Oh, they may compel me." "Those who think that he is standing, let him be careful that he won't fall." "So, he decided, I am not going to go there." 11:18 "So, he decided, I am not going to go there." "He had the temptation to please the team leader because he was afraid of the promotion or the hike or the project in abroad." 11:42 "But he decided one thing strongly." "We read in the Bible that promotion comes from the Lord." "If I lose my hike, so be it." "If they reduce my salary, so be it." "Even if they put me in a dummy project, so be it." 12:06 "If they don't send me to any abroad project, so be it." "I am not going to take part in the party." "I am not going to police men." "If I go there, definitely I will corrupt myself." "So, only the anointing from the Holy Spirit helped him to break the yoke from the enemy, the fear of men." 12:38 "Same way, young girls." "Both boys and girls." "You might have come from a Hindu background." "Or from a Roman Catholic background." "When it comes to the time of marriage." "We should be able to stand by saying, I am not going to marry an unbeliever." 13:01 "Even if I don't get married, I am not going to marry an unbeliever." "We should have such a zeal in our life." "I am not going to please my parents." "I am not going to bless my parents." "I am going to confess my faith." 13:20 "I am going to accept my baptism." "I am going to confess to my parents that I am going to take baptism." "I am going to confess to others that I have accepted Jesus." "Many times we are being afraid and being covered and not able to confess our faith." 13:45 "He has not given us the spirit of courage, but has given us the spirit of strength." "I want to show a wonderful promise in the book of Isaiah chapter 8." "Isaiah chapter 8." "In the old CFC Hall there used to be a text." 14:09 "It is from the Living Bible and I like the verse very much." "Isaiah chapter 8 verse 12 and 13." "You are not to say it is a conspiree in regard to all these people call a conspiree." 14:31 "And you are not to fear what they fear or be dread of it." "It is the Lord of hosts whom you should regard as holy and He shall be your fear and He shall be your dread." "He shall alone be your fear and be your dread." 14:49 "It is the anointing from the Holy Spirit, the fear of the Lord." "If the Lord anoints with such a spirit, the spirit of fear for the Lord, we will be able to overcome all other fear." 15:12 "Amen." "Let's say Amen with boldness and courage." "Let God alone be our fear." "We don't need to fear any man in the world." "We don't need to be afraid of the enemy." 15:37 "We don't need to be ashamed of any situation." "Sometime we are ashamed of something." In my young days God taught me one thing. "You should not be ashamed for Christ's sake." "The Lord who saved me when He was on the cross, He was naked." 16:01 He didn't say "Hey, don't remove my dress, I am feeling shy." He didn't say "I am ashamed." He didn't say "Don't remove my clothes." He didn't say "I am ashamed." "If He had the shame like that, I would not have been saved." 16:23 "Lord, You took the shame for my sake." "Lord, I am going to take the shame for Your shame." "It should be like eating some alwa from Tirnelveli or some other place." "Being ashamed for Christ should be like an alwa for Him." 16:45 "It should be like eating alwa." "Whenever I am being ashamed for Christ." "All those times I am eating alwa." "I am glorifying my Lord." No, the owner of the whole universe stood there. "In my anger as God told me this." 17:08 "You should be ashamed for my name." I used to be a very shy and timid guy. I came from a Hindu background. My relatives and neighbors used to ask me, "Hey, you too become a Christian?" 17:30 They used to hit the head and ask me, "Why do you do this job?" "Why did you become a Christian?" "Why did you go like this?" They used to ask me, "For what profit you went to Christianity?" "Did they give any money?" 17:51 "They asked me, "Did they give you a job?" "That's why we went there." "Why did you make fun of me?" They used to make fun of me saying, "Why did you go to the Lord?" "Why did you go to Jesus?" "I used to cry out, "Lord, anoint me." 18:05 "I am not going to be ashamed." "Lord, you are not ashamed for my sake." "Lord taught me so many things in those days." "Christ is my answer." "I used to wear a badge here saying, "Christ is the answer." "I took some tracts in my hand." 18:26 "Christ is my answer." "Christ is my Savior." "I wore so many badges saying, "Christ is the answer." "Christ is the hope." "I used to go out." "Why did you go out?" "They used to ask me, "You are a good person, but you are off your head now." 18:46 "Why did you become like this?" "I used to say, "Lord, I am eating Alva now." "Lord, I want to praise you. Thank you, Lord." "God used to tell me like this sometimes." "In my village in the bus stand." "In my village town in the bus stand." 19:06 Some guys used to get into the bus and they used to sell 10 rupee oil for headache. "Hello, sir." "They come into the bus and say, "Hello, sir." So this guy will get into the bus and say, 19:34 "Hey, this is made of herbs, and this oil has so many herbs in it, and it helps you with your headache, and with your toothache, and he gets into the bus and say, "Hello, sir." He gives to all the pamphlets, a list of herbs that's in the oil, 19:55 and distributes to everyone. "Sir, 10 rupees. Sir, 10 rupees. Sir, 10 rupees. Then he puts it. And he keeps on my lap and says, "Just 10 rupees, sir. 10 rupees, sir. 10 rupees, sir." Some take it and pay the price. Others won't take it. 20:09 God spoke to me. "For 10 rupees oil, for the oil that is worth 10 rupees, this guy gets into the bus, and he is not ashamed on selling this oil. He asked me, "How will you react? 20:31 Will you be ashamed for me?" You only prayed that, "Lord, I don't want to be ashamed for your name." You asked me, "Didn't you pray? Lord, you, you know, were on the cross, not ashamed for my sake. Lord, I want to be like this." 20:46 Didn't you pray like that? Tomorrow evening in the bus stand, when it's peak time, when all the bus is in the bus stand, you take some tracks with you. You take the track title, the video tape of your memory. Amazing facts. 21:06 Amazing facts. The real truth. Some of the old, hidden treasures, pages, some of the old, heavenly treasures, and hidden treasures, articles, and magazines. I took all that in one bag. And God told me, "Get into the bus now." 21:27 Hello, sir. And you say, "Hello, sir." God said, "You should tell." Then only you can crucify the shame that is in you. Not only in the bus stand, you should go to every street. 21:50 You should go to all shop. And they used to ask me, "Isn't he the teacher that's working in the school?" Why is he doing all his job? Is he office head? I wanted to be like that 22:11 and had the zeal to be like that, but I didn't have the power. I told God, "Lord, I want to be like this. Anoint me." God anointed me. I took all the tracks. I got into the bus. I said, "Hello, sir." I told them, 22:35 "The book that changed my life will change yours." This book has the problem for your situation. Please read it. Please read this. Those are two rupee, three rupee books. You don't need to pay me. It's free. So, I used to give to everyone 22:59 who was in the bus. Got on from one bus, got into the next bus. Went into all the streets. We should not be ashamed of Christ. In the young days, in our youth days, the yoke should be broken. 23:21 The yoke of being ashamed. The yoke of fear. The yoke of pleasing men. Dear young people, only anointing can break the yoke. 23:42 I want to show another yoke. 2 Corinthians chapter 6. Verse 14, we read like this. We know this verse very well. We shouldn't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. 24:03 I just want to show Lord Jesus Christ first. Lord, whom do you spend your time most? When you come to church, you are with the people in the church. When you go to your locality where you live. 24:24 Whom do you have fellowship with? Is it with unbelievers? Is it with the unbeliever, a boyfriend or maybe a girlfriend? Whom do you share your heart with, your burden or your problem with? 24:49 Jesus Christ till the age of 30, he had a name like this. He had many names out of those names. A wonderful name is found in Hebrews chapter 7 verse 26. 25:09 He was called Holy God. He was called blameless. He was one without spot. He was called blameless. In verse 26, we read that he was separated from sinners. 25:32 Separated from sinners. Thirty-five years old, we are separated from sinners. Till the age of 30, of all the names that he had, one such name is separated from sinners. He obeyed Psalms 1:1 throughout his life. He did not sit with the scoffers. 25:54 He never lived according to the, you know, council of the unrighteous. Wicked people. Wicked people. He did not stand in the way of sinners. That's how he separated from sinners 26:14 and he kept himself pure. He gained this name in Nazareth for the first 30 years of his life. Then after that, in the three and a half years of his ministry, he gained another name. Matthew chapter 11. Matthew chapter 11. 26:36 Matthew chapter 11. Matthew chapter 11. Verse 19. Our, Bojana Piriyan, Madhubana Piriyan, Paviqilikku Snaegidhan, He is a friend of sinners. We read there, a glutton, a drunkard, and a friend of sinners. They are young people. 26:52 The first name that he got was a separated from sinners. Another name that he got after that is friend of sinners. You can never get a name friend of sinners without being separated from sinners. 27:24 First, you should make Hebrews chapter 7 verse 26 as your own word. Then you will be able to follow Matthew chapter 11 verse 19. Then only you will be able to stand. In a talk of war then only you can win. 27:51 You will be able to gain him for Christ. You will have the strength for it. Hebrews chapter 7 verse 26 should have been fulfilled in your life first. You just think about your life. Is Hebrews chapter 7 verse 26 true in your life? 28:10 Not only Jesus. I want to show even from the life of Paul. Acts chapter 9. He was a young guy. When he was Saul. Verse 8, Saul fell in the ground. 28:34 And people who were with him took him to Damascus. And he was without sight for three days. He repented. He took baptism. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He had a genuine born again experience. 28:58 Dear young people. I want to show a sign. A sign of a truly born again believer. believer. We read here. 29:23 Verse 19 we read like this. As soon as he took the baptism, verse 19, and he took food and was strengthened. Now for several years, several days, he was with disciples who were at Damascus. 29:43 He was with disciples for several days. Verse 26 we read again. When he came to Jerusalem, he was trying to associate with the disciples. He wanted to associate with the disciples. 30:06 Dearing people. If you are born again, the sign for it is the old association is gone. All the old things are gone. All the old friendship and companionship is gone. 30:29 Whom do you want to be with disciples? Saul or Paul wanted to be with the disciples. Dear young people, there only you can be saved. There only you can be preserved. 30:57 When ten firewood is burning brightly. However raw you are, when you are inserted into the disciples, you can burn. 31:18 But when a firewood is burning brightly, you take it out. That's it. It's gone. The fire is gone. Saul, that's how he protected himself. He wanted to be with the disciples. He wanted to be careful that we are not with the unbelievers. 31:42 In my youth days, I want to share an experience. In the lunch hour. A colleague on my left and a colleague on my right. I used to watch a lot of movies. 32:11 Now I am a born again believer. I am eating my lunch. This colleague. This colleague. This guy would ask, who was the heroine in that film for that hero? Who got the film star award for this year? 32:36 The guy sitting on to the right will give wrong name for the question he asked. I am talking about some 30 years old stories. Now the problem may be different. Now the technology has advanced and your problem is different. 33:00 This guy would ask, who was the heroine for this hero? This guy would give a wrong answer for it. I would say, hey that was wrong. I am saying correct. I will give the right answer. This guy would ask, who won the film star award? 33:21 This guy would give a wrong answer. I would say the right answer. Because I was an addict to it. Some people are addicted to something. Some people are addicted to something. In their past lives, some are addicted to drinking. 33:37 Some to smoking. Some to some sexual things. I was an addict to cinema. I will give a sharp and right answer for every question they ask. Now I would go home after this. Holy Spirit will slap me on both sides. 34:03 You would ask me, do you need all this? Who is the hero or who is the heroine? Does it matter to you? It is not just one day thing. They would talk about the management. They would talk about other teachers. They would talk about who is in love with whom. 34:26 They would talk about who got a child. They would talk about who went wrongly. They would talk about the corruption of the management. They would talk about politics. They would talk about cinema. This year, listening to this and this and this become filthy. 34:48 I cried out to the Lord. I am the man who lives with people of unclean lips. Owe to me. My lips are unclean lips. Owe to me. But I am pleasing this man. I am pleasing this guy as well. 35:08 I didn't have the strength to leave them alone, to go out alone. I go home and confess my sins and cry out. Lord, I spoke so many unwanted things. Lord, please forgive me. Next day, I come to school. 35:29 Same thing happened. Then I go back and confess again. Same thing again. I cried out, Lord, when am I going to be free? Lord, break the relationship with the unbelievers. Lord, break the yoke that is with the unbelievers. 35:53 Anoint me, Lord. I cried out to the Lord many days. God anointed me again. One day, God gave me a new strength. I went to school. I took my lunch bag. Usually, I used to keep my lunch bag usually in one place, but I didn't keep that in that place. 36:21 And I went to the classroom where it is free. One boy told me, in first floor, the fourth room is free, sir. Okay. In the lunch bag, I also used to keep the lunch bag in that room. Separated from sinners. That's how I was separated from the sinners. 36:41 I went alone and sat there and ate the food. Other two teachers were waiting for me. They didn't have their food. They were waiting for me. They were looking for me. They were asking, "Where is Victor, sir?" "Where is Victor, sir?" 37:02 Victor, sir is eating. Sitting alone and eating. Yeah. Why? Then they asked me, "What happened? Why?" I came down from the first floor, came down. 37:22 They asked me, "What's wrong with us? Is something wrong with us? Why didn't you join us for lunch?" So, I told them, after having food, I wanted to read some, read Bible, so I went alone. So, they didn't open their mouth at all. They didn't say anything. 37:41 They didn't open their mouth at all. They didn't say anything. They didn't open their mouth at all. They didn't say anything. Now they're talking. Now they're talking? Now they're talking? Now they're talking. Now they're talking. 37:49 Now they're talking. Now they're talking. Now they're talking. So, they spoke in sign language. That's what it means. We go to hell, but you go to heaven. It's okay. From that day on, they gave me a name in the school. My name was Holy Spirit teacher. 38:06 They're all evil spirit. You're all Holy Spirit. You're all Holy Spirit. I told them, "Whatever you say." I'm now free. But I struggled for reaching that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. 38:15 I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. 38:23 I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. 38:32 I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. 38:41 I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. I was able to reach that path. Dear young people, that's it. We need to be released from every yoke of the enemy. 38:50 At what time? We will continue. Continue. 9:50? 9:45. Okay. Okay. Okay. We can meditate on it. 39:16 Only anointing can break such yoke. The fear for men. Pleasing men. Being ashamed. Being unequally yoked with unbelievers. I want to show another yoke. 39:37 Secrets, sexual sins are sometimes sexual areas. Even though they are born again. Some are tied up to born to masturbation. Some are bound to pornography. 40:03 They are addicted to it. They confess their sins. They cry. They come back again. They fall into it again. You know what Satan says? You are unfit. Run away from this place. 40:23 You are a hypocrite. Holy people are sitting in the church. You are a dead insect. Dead fly. Why are you sitting here? You are a hypocrite. Satan says run away from here. Some get into depression listening to Satan and not coming to the church. 40:46 They are not able to give up the sin. Do you know the reason they don't have the anointing of the Holy Spirit? They are not crying out to the Lord. First, we should believe that there is freedom in Christ. Whatever may be the yoke from the enemy, God can break it. 41:10 Holy Spirit can break it. The Holy Spirit or Christ Jesus came to set us free from the chains of Satan. Whatever may be the secret sin that you are addicted to. When you are sitting in the chair, believe that God can free you in these days. 41:34 You need to confess to the Lord. Accept yourself and cry out to the Lord. Don't give up crying out to the Lord. Never. That is what God has taught us in Luke 18. The poor widow went up to the judge and asked him. 41:55 Give me legal protection. She says give me legal protection. Lord, this body is your temple. The temple of Holy Spirit. Lord, let the zeal for your house consume me. Lord, this is your temple. Lord, this is your house where you live. 42:17 Lord, sin has nothing to do here. Lord, I made a mistake. Lord, let the zeal for your house consume me. Don't give up. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. 42:28 In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. 42:37 In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. 42:48 In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. 42:58 In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. In the Indo-China war. They were not able. To continue the fight. Oh. So finally. They gave up. Okay. You take it. 43:22 May it be never true. In our life. We shouldn't give up. Our life. To the enemy. Just like that. Lord. I don't want to give. Any part of my body. To the enemy. I am not going to give. My eyes. To the Satan. I am not going to give. 43:39 My tongue. I am not going to give. My hands. Lord. This is your house. Lord. In the past. I have defiled myself. Do you know the reason? Because the house was empty. One evil spirit went away from the house. 43:59 The house was empty. It came again with seven other spirits. That's the problem. That's the problem. The house was cleansed. And it was decorated. But it was empty. It should be filled with the Holy Spirit. It should be filled with the word of God. 44:20 It should be filled with the zeal for the house of the Lord. Then Satan can never bring an yoke in our life. May God help us. Amen.
