0:57 Life, thy loving kindness is better than life. My lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee. 1:12 Thy loving kindness is better than life. I lift my hands up unto thy name. I lift my hands up unto thy name. 1:31 My lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee. Thy loving kindness is better than life. Thy loving kindness is better than life. 1:50 Thy loving kindness is better than life. My lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee. Thy loving kindness is better than life. I hear the sound of rustling in the 2:21 leaves of the trees. The spirit of the Lord has come down on the earth. The church that seemed in slumber has now risen from its knees and dry bones are responding with the fruits of new birth. 2:38 This is now a time for declaration. The word will go to all men everywhere. The church is here for a healing of the nation. Behold the day of Jesus drawing near. My tongue will be the pen of a 3:00 ready writer. What the Father gives to me I'll say. I only want to be His bread. I only want to glorify the King. All around the world the body waits 3:23 expectantly. The promise of the Father is now ready to fall. Watchmen on the tower all exhort us to prepare. The church responds a people who will answer the call. 3:40 This is not a phase which is passing. It's a coronation that is to come. Where is the wise man and the scoffer? Before the face of Jesus they are dumb. 4:00 My tongue will be the pen of a ready writer. What the Father gives to me I'll sing. I only want to be His breath. I only want to glorify the King. 4:22 The body now prepared by God and ready for war. The prompting of the Spirit is our word of command. We rise a mighty army at the bidding of the Lord. The devil see and fear for 4:40 their time is at hand. The children of the Lord hear our commission. We should love and serve our God as one. The Spirit won't be hindered by division in the perfect work that Jesus has made. 5:02 My tongue will be the pen of a ready writer. What the Father gives to me I'll sing. I only want to be His breath. I only want to glorify the King. 5:24 My tongue will be the pen of a ready writer. What the Father gives to me I'll sing. I only want to be His breath. I only want to glorify the King. 5:52 Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know. Spirit breathing from above, thou hast taught me it is so. 6:11 Oh, this full and perfect peace. Oh, this trust for all divine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine. In a love 6:31 which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine. And above is softer bloom, earth around is sweeter green. 6:49 Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen. Birds with gladder songs will flow, flowers with deeper beauty shine. Since I know 7:08 as now I know, I am His and He is mine. Since I know as now I know, I am His and He is mine. Just the voices. 7:26 Things that once were wild alarms, cannot now disturb my rest. Closed in everlasting arms, pillow'd on the loving breast 7:45 all to lie forever here doubt and care and self resign while he whispers in my ear I am his and he is mine 8:04 while he whispers in my ear I am his and he is mine. His forever only his 8:21 who the Lord and me shall part all with one arrest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart heaven and earth may fade and flee 8:40 firstborn light and gloom decline but while God and I shall be I am his and he is mine but while God and I shall be 8:59 I am his and he is mine. So 9:21 and sisters we'll have the question and answer session now. Request you to settle down. Let's pay attention. Let's come at this meeting in prayer. Loving Father Lord we thank you and praise you 9:39 for all your goodness. Yes, Lord, you've loved us with an everlasting love. And we want to hear you, Lord. We want to hear you because you alone are the answer to all our questions. You alone satisfy the hungry heart with a rest of 9:54 bliss. And uh Yes, Lord, we ask for your presence. We ask for listening ears and and soft hearts, Lord, as you speak to us. We come at this time into your hands. Uh we ask for your mighty grace and anointing and wisdom, Lord, along the uh 10:11 upon these precious brothers. And we pray in your mighty name, Jesus. Amen. Brother Victor, Brother Vincent, can you please uh come up? Yeah. 11:08 So, we have received 94 Six short of 100 questions. I was telling brothers we should have a separate conference for question answer conference. On various topics, yeah. Anyway, it's good. 11:26 Uh See, we will not be able to give perfect answers because we are imperfect people. Number two, we do not know whether you have expressed what what was in your mind in the correct way when you frame the 11:46 question. Number three, we certainly do not know your background on which situation these difficulties were there which prompted you to ask question. So, these constraints we wanted to answer, but hope the spirit 12:05 of God would guide you to find the answer to every solution. God has the answer for every solution. So, he will help you. So, we have to close it by 5:00. Yeah. 5:00 30 we have to close 12:23 or 5:15. Yeah, 5:30 we will close. How many questions we are covering by 5:30? Uh with that we'll close. Close. Kindly don't feel bad if some questions 12:40 are not covered. Anyhow, you have elders with you and um godly mature brothers and sisters you can always discuss with them. Thank you. Why to fast? What do we do while fasting? Yeah. 12:58 We fast because we want to have it as a discipline. We want to love God more than our food. We want to love the word of God more than our food. It is an occasion to practice that. And also it's a good discipline. Jesus has told 13:18 us in the gospel about fasting. So, it expresses your commitment to God more and the time can be set apart to study the word of God, to sing songs of praises, and to praise God, to worship you in a more effective way. So, 13:36 that's a reason for fasting. And the Bible says, "Not if you fast, when you fast." So, that means Jesus knows that you are fasting. So, when you fast, it is not if you fast. Yeah. Question number two, 13:54 how to experience the joy that God gives practically in day-to-day life? See, in his presence, there is fullness of joy. And joy forevermore. It's only the presence of God can give you the real joy. And 14:13 when you go and experience God more and more, you'll have the joy, the peace that God gives you. And when you experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit, yeah, the joy overflows. I pray to God and he has answers prayers 14:31 miraculously, but that relationship with God I don't seem to feel. I don't experience God's love for me personally or feel him as my personal father. It feels like he's somewhere far in the distant land. How can I experience to walk with God 14:46 daily and listen to him and know him as my father? Have eagerness and zeal to do God's will for my life and follow his principles, which I currently seem to have lost. See, seem, feel, uh these things indicate that you are trying to live by 15:02 your feelings. So, uh there's a saying, no? Fact, faith, and feelings. Fact first, faith next, feelings last. It's like a three garage train. So, put the fact first. Truth is first. 15:21 Whether you feel it or not, you're a child of God. The word of God says, trust that. So, always give importance to the fact feelings may change. Don't run your life based on feelings. And faith next. Yeah, I believe God has 15:37 done it. I believe I'm a child of God. I believe God has forgiven my sins. And learn to live like that, not by feelings. See, the winnowing field, when they want to chip separate the grain from the chaff, the chaff, they it 15:53 flies away. Wherever the wind blows, the chaff will fly away. Feelings are like that. The wind is this side, your feelings will be like that. So, don't give importance to feelings. Fact first, faith next, last only feelings. 16:06 Feelings has to follow. Don't allow the feeling to lead you. Uh fourth question, brother will answer. How do I know God is with me? When the spirit of God is with me, we 16:33 will always have a light about ourselves. God could show different areas of our lives. It may be in our thought life, attitude, 16:55 or in my in our motive. In our deeds. God will convict you or he'll depart. God would be convicting us. This is one sign that God is with me. That means God is giving us light. Okay. 17:18 In apartments, they come to collect money for religious festival. How do I avoid? How to avoid? How do I know that God is angry with me? Whether it is an apartment or in your 17:42 workplace, we should never give for religious festivals. If they say that we are creating a common facility like a library, we can 18:00 give money. Yeah, for a swimming pool. Yeah, for maintenance or repair work, you can give. But, religious But, when they specifically ask that you 18:20 have to give for this religious festival, we should not give. We should express in a very polite and in a dignified way. Next. How do I know that God is angry with me? God is not angry with you. Because all anger of God 18:43 was shown in the cross of Calvary. Might be God may be sad if you hurt him, bring pain through your way of behaving or talking, but he's not angry with you. I get salvation, but I lose it quickly. What to do? 19:02 I think this question uh salvation uh it should have been fellowship. I have the fellowship, I lose it quickly. It should have been like that. So, immediately you confess your sin and set right with God. If you have sinned 19:16 against some person, go and set right with him and then set right with God and restore your fellowship with God. So, salvation it is not something you lose lose it today like tomorrow you get it back, then lose it, get it back. It 19:30 is not something like that. But, once saved is ever saved is also not true. You can lose your salvation, but the spirit of God will convict you and he will give lot lot of opportunities to for repentance, for restoring and 19:45 all. So, uh you need not be uh too much worried that you will lose your salvation now and then. No, it's not like that. So, maintain your fellowship, continual fellowship with God and uh it's a so great a salvation, you have to 20:00 be careful, you have to preserve it. He can also get uh um clearance with the local elders also. Yeah. This question you can discuss with your local elders and get more light. Yeah. Because I doubt about this question framing of question, it may be 20:16 wrong. How to have a clear conscience? And along with that, another question is also there. 25th question. I used to listen to my conscience and set things right, but sometimes I don't listen to conscience and it's too late to do it now. How do I 20:33 get that sensitive conscience back? Um As soon as the spirit of God convicts us 20:53 in our conscience, immediately we have to set set it right. Every time we obey to that conscience, it is like sharpening our conscience. conscience will convict them. In the 21:14 subsequent situations, even in small things, our conscience will be able to convict us. Once the conscience convicts you and if you don't obey, the tip of the conscience becomes dead. 21:35 It loses its sensitivity. Then, there will not be any use of that particular conscience. So, as soon as we are convicted, immediately we should obey and settle it. Paul um 21:53 Acts 10:23 we are reading. Paul once spoke, "You are a whitewashed tomb." to the chief priest. Immediately he got convicted. We are able to see the spirit of apology in that place. This is how one can keep his conscience 22:16 clear. How does God bear witness to for someone? What does it really mean? Acts chapter 15:8 we are reading. We read in Acts chapter 15 and verse 8. God bears witness by giving us the Holy Spirit. We also see in the life of Jesus. 22:39 Father Son gave a witness to the Father. When Jesus was taking baptism in Jordan River, Father gave a witness about His Son. He gave the Holy Spirit. So, when God bears a witness, He gives the Holy Spirit and bears a witness. I'm 22:57 pleased with you. I'm being told. Yeah, I'm pleased with you. We should not think that God is bearing witness through earthly blessings. Okay. Yeah. How to make up for the lost time in my spiritual life 23:15 to be what God originally made me for? We have to forget the past. We should forget things which occurred in the past. If you think that oh, I have lost so much time means you'll get discouraged. 23:35 That is not needed. It's only the devil which remind keeps on reminding you. That is not a matter at all. Let us see the days ahead and let us go forward. There are many men of God who have 23:55 achieved at their 40th or 50th year. Yeah, Studd's life, no, he has achieved so much even though he started very late. So, there's no need to think of how much you have lost in the past life. Okay. 24:13 Yeah. How to get revelation from the word of God? Yeah. See, God gives revelation through the Holy Spirit. In your spirit, God speaks to you through the spirit of God. So, ask God God reveals yourself. 24:33 You read the word of God scripture, have the fear of God, and uh slowly you'll be able to learn and word of God will become more clear to you. Will of God will become more clear to you. And you can have fellowship with the 24:48 brothers. Any tough portion in the scriptures, you can ask them. They'll also help you. In CFC, we mostly concentrate on meditating on scripture. Is it good to memorize scriptures also? Yes, it is good to memorize. Dear brothers, please tell how you 25:05 meditate God's word and get the depth of God's word and get the riches and treasures from there. Please tell how you meditate God's word and get the depth of God's word to get riches and treasures. Um 25:24 Bi- Bible reading on the reading Something called reading is there. Um We have to properly study that. Some people do not read the word of God properly. Um Nicky 25:43 Matthew Matthew 5:6 Some people take randomly Matthew 5:6:7. After 3 days they stop. Then they go to Hebrews. 26:05 For 4 days they would have read it. Then go to Proverbs. Come to Revelation. These people have problem in reading the word of God. Today's second date, so Psalms 2. 26:39 You know, Proverbs 2. Or Proverbs 2. Tomorrow they don't read third chapter of Proverbs. No, it's over. So, today they they read two. Tomorrow they should go to three, but they don't 26:59 do. Reading the person. So, there's a problem in reading the scriptures. This is not the way of honoring God's word. First of all, make proper the reading of scriptures. Then you have to meditate the word of God. Brother book of resources particular. of 27:21 spiritual resources I have written you can study that. Then only you know what is the depth. Godly Bible scholars will not come. A lot of Bible scholars are there among us. We can know through them also. 27:42 This is how we can meditate the word of God. When you go deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper, God will show the depths of the scriptures. 14 15 next verse Next two verse questions are like that. What are the practical words of reading the Bible? 28:00 And I have lack of time in a day. I have to prioritize listening to the daily devotion or I should read the Bible. Which one should prioritize? That depends on your circumstances. Suppose you are traveling, then daily devotion is very 28:16 handy. You can listen. Suppose you are in your home where you have time, you start with Bible reading and then go to devotion. So, it depends upon the circumstances and your situation. Then we have some questions on the next 28:31 topic, overcoming sin. 16 and 18. Though I have a desire to live like Jesus, but falling often like losing temper, getting anger, keeping eyes purely. Though I repent, but getting discouraged for falling often. How to get victory in 28:49 these things and live a life that pleases the Lord? And 18th question, is it okay to be angry in a few places like Jesus got angry in the temple? So, in what types of situations is it okay to be angry? Is it okay to be angry in few places? 29:08 That's a question. Part of question 18. It's not few places, but no place you should get angry. We have not gone to the temple yet. I don't know. Jesus got angry in the 29:27 temple. The zeal which consumed for the house of the Lord, no? Jesus says that's all somewhere far away. We have not reached that place. Day-to-day life we have not faced such 29:48 situation. So, we cannot justify our getting angry. Sometimes we can raise our voice up with our children. Nothing wrong in that. If you are in a in an authority in your 30:12 workplace, you can look them sternly with a firm face. You can raise your voice. You can raise your voice without your spirit getting defiled. Yeah, like we we do with our children. 30:33 When our spirit is defiled, we have to judge ourselves and cleanse them. But no place we can justify getting angry. Yeah, question, is there any other man who has never sinned except Jesus? No. 19th question, when I am striving to 30:53 overcome sin and temptation, how do I know it is not from my strength? And how do I know that it is God who is helping me overcome temptation? If I resist sin and temptation, will it not take away God's glory? I'm confused. How do I go 31:07 about it? If I overcome a particular sin through my own strength, there will be a self-glory and boasting. Then, secondly, I will despise others. 31:34 Wherever there is a self-righteousness, we despise others, and there will be a self-glory and boasting. Wherever through faith and by the Holy Spirit we get victory, we will never boast. 31:53 We will never despise others. Yeah, Peter was fishing the whole night, but he could not catch even a single fish. According to the word of Jesus, he put 32:11 his net, he cast his net. Yeah, he caught so much fishes. Is it possible that he can take glory? Not even a single glory. 153 fishes, you consider it as 153 areas 32:32 of righteousness. In all those areas, we Yeah. In my many tempting things, we have to deny ourselves. In such a situation, sometimes our behavior starts to look like that of hypocrites. How can we avoid this? Explain by giving an 32:52 example. Please. See, we need not be bothered about the We live before the face of God. We don't live before the face of men. So, I don't think there's a need to uh 33:10 be afraid that I may look like a hypocrite. No, you work out your salvation, you deny yourself, and don't bother about what people think. Yeah. How can we avoid this? Explain by Yeah. So, we live before the face of God. Let 33:25 your righteousness be before God. We don't do for people's sake. Yeah. Why am I unable to love, obey his commandments him more, even after knowing how much he loved me, and took the wrath of God for me? Where am I lacking? 33:42 See, Romans 5:5 it says, uh by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts. So, ask God to fill your heart with his love, and he will fill your heart with love through the Holy Spirit. That's a 33:59 uh one way to get filled with the love of God and obey his commandments. If I know my tabs password, and I want to see something, then suddenly something pops up pops out. How can I escape from the filthy picture? 34:16 And is games on mobile okay to play? I don't I our system is built in such a way that suddenly the evil pictures are 34:34 popping up. If you have practiced it or used it at some occasions, then there's a possibility that it comes up, pops up. I'm also using my system. 34:56 Never. So, So, we have to be very careful. System knows what we are interested to look at. Sometimes 35:18 puppies and cats. I will see some animal planets. System knows that I I love these animals, so always it will show elephant, 35:36 horse, some animals like that. All these things will come, pop up. Artificial intelligence, it knows what we are interested in. So, that it takes 35:56 and gives. Some people are interested in cinema and politics, that things come up. Filthy things if you are if you have seen already, it may come up. We have to correct our system when it suddenly pops up. First long back old laptop my children 36:24 bought. Desktop, desktop. what is system computer? Desktop. Desktop. And that system one girl came and winked 36:48 at her. Winked at me. And winked her eyes. Then disappeared. Suddenly it appeared this side and winked at me. I didn't know what to do. I pulled out the plug and left. 37:13 I told my children some all unnecessary stuffs are coming. Please help my dad help your dad. Something they did and changed it. Is games on mobile okay to play? Volleyball in the TV cable or not? Young people should not have asked this 37:34 question. Definitely not brothers. If they had asked such a question, it is very obvious what is their spiritual condition. If they are small children, parents I don't know what their limitation is. 37:52 Parents should know the boundary. I don't know the rules and regulations that I put on my dad. We cannot give rules and regulations. So whatever is suitable according to their spiritual 38:10 understanding, only such things can be permitted. There are best ways available if you want to avoid. You know you don't have games in the lobby anymore. There are so many other you play from the mobile. So, we have to engage them in other 38:30 things so that they don't seek this. Uh it is better that we avoid it as much as possible. Show something better and remove this. Also, if you had given your tab to somebody else and they had seen 38:49 some bad things, then also you'll get the problem. So, be careful when you give to others. 24th question. I see three problems in me. Loving food, sleeping more, lazy at my work. Honest person. I want to get victory over these three 39:09 failures. Please help me. So, please read Ezekiel 16:49. Mhm. Yeah. This uh this These are the sin of Sodom. And the solution is also given in that verse. You read it and find out. Yeah. 39:27 Ezekiel 16:49. 26. 26. Question 20 5 6. Yeah, 20 25 we finished. 26. Is not God tired if we do the same sin again? I don't know 39:44 whether question is right or not. God is not tired. God will never get tired. Again and again and again Yeah. God forgives forgives. We read in Micah. 27. Proud thoughts come to me so many 40:07 times. I try and reject it, but again and again it comes. How do I know if I have yielded to it or I have overcome it. Yes, please. Question number 28. 28 and 29. 29. Yeah. Yeah. How to grow in humility? Yeah, these are all similar questions. 40:27 Similar questions. How to grow in humility? 29. Question number 29. If I do something well, my thoughts constantly drift towards I thoughts and I keep thinking about it. How can I practically overcome? And 30th question, dear brothers, how to 40:41 remain humble after God blesses me? All these things are uh to grow in humility. We have to look at Jesus. Learn from me, Jesus said. says. 41:11 Whenever uh you look at the life of Jesus, the Holy Spirit has to show the glory of humility to your to you. After seeing that only we'll be able to grow in humility. We need to take it up as a challenge and 41:30 we should know the glory of the humility of Jesus. The same Holy Spirit which shows who shows the humility of Jesus will transform us into that humility. That way only you'll be able to grow in humility. Okay. Yeah. 41:48 Also, compare yourself with Jesus. Yes. Uh Question 31. How to get filled with the Holy Spirit? And similar questions. I'm asking God to fill me with the Holy Spirit. In the Bible it says God will give me give if we ask him. So, we 42:03 should ask in faith and believe that you have received it. But it also says we have to keep keep on asking him. So, should I ask him and believe that he has already given me or should I keep asking till I get? Yeah. How to get filled with 42:16 the Holy Spirit? You need to have, first of all, a clean heart, which is washed by the blood of Christ. All the known sins, you should have confessed it. And uh you should have been forgiven by Jesus Christ. After having a clean heart, 42:28 ask for the Holy Spirit with a real thirst. Whoever is thirsty, let him come to me and drink the waters of life. That's what Jesus says in John 7 38 39. So, you can get the Holy Spirit. You need to have a hunger and thirst. 42:45 And you keep on asking until you get the assurance that you God has filled you with the Holy Spirit. Don't look for some experience, but get the assurance from the Spirit of God. Spirit of God will get the give you the assurance. 42:57 Like he had given you the assurance that your sins are forgiven, the same way he can assure you that he has filled you with the Holy Spirit. Till then, you keep on asking. One one sign also, Yeah. we can have control over our tongue. 43:10 Yeah. When the Holy Spirit comes, he will he will control your tongue, the way you speak. He will he will make you holy. 33rd question. I received the experience of baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues 5 years back, but 43:25 later I did not experience the spontaneous experience that I had felt on that day. Although I had major changes in my spiritual growth, I have not experienced that physical experience after that day. Should I expect the same 43:35 experience or pray for a similar experience? Bible doesn't say that we need to have an experience. So, no need to look for the same experience, but get the assurance that you are filled with the Holy Spirit. Again and again, pray 43:48 and get the filling on of the Holy Spirit. No need for the to look for the same experience. Experience may not be uh coming back to you again. How am I to demonstrate God's power through my life? As scripture says in Ephesians 1:19, I also pray that you 44:05 will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. So, when the power of God comes upon you, you shall be my witness. Acts 1:8. You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and under the uttermost 44:19 part of the world. So, you'll be a witness in your own home, in your family. Others will be able to uh say that you're a godly person. You're going They'll be able to see the change. Number two, you'll be a witness in the workplace. You'll be a witness in 44:32 the church. And another thing, you will take sin seriously. You will overcome sin in your life. That's the way God's power can be demonstrated in your life. Then, next set of questions on work and money matters. How to find God's will 44:52 when I'm choosing a job offer? Yeah. See, uh Finding God's will is a good book you can read by Brother Zac's written. Read that book. Finding God's will. Then, you pray to God, "Lord, if it is your will, lead me to choose the this job." And you'll have 45:11 the peace of mind. And see whether this job will prevent you from growing in your spiritual life. Will prevent you from attending the church fellowship. Will really sap all your energy. And talk to the people who are already 45:26 working in that company, whether it's a good company. And they don't cheat. And whether they are giving the salary on time. All those things you can gather information and find out. And tell God, "Lord, give me the peace 45:37 of mind if it is your will of God." Otherwise, you stop it. That's where you can find out the will of God. And there should not be any cheating and underhand dealings, things like that. 36th question, I want to make wealth so 45:54 I am in a position to help people. Also, improve my standard of living. I want to see money as a a rather than a means to end. Is it wrong to make wealth since God is an abundant and prosperous God? And we being his sons and daughters, is 46:09 it not important we also live abundantly and prosper and multiply just like God told Adam when the intention with the intention that he created man and conquer the world as it says in Psalm. We are to be his stewards and reign over 46:24 the earth. We read in between the this question we read like this. Is it wrong to make wealth? Being sons and daughters of 46:44 isn't it important we live abundantly and prosper and multiply like God told Adam? Healthy wealthy gospel question is it? It's a question based on healthy wealthy gospel. Maybe a few people among us also. 47:06 Some might dear brother. In the name of Jesus, I pleaded you. Whoever has written this question, I plead in the name of Jesus. I think that you have written this 47:26 question out of ignorance. That's my expectation. I think like that. If this is written by you, maybe you are in a wrong place. Yes, this is not the place. We are gospel number of preach money to 47:48 come. We are preaching another gospel. We are not uh telling about an ascetic life. Yes. Godliness with contentment and holiness are equal. We are teaching that godliness with 48:07 contentment is a great gain. Paul, 1 Timothy chapter 6 letter nine evils are listed mentioned mantra. In 1 Timothy chapter 6, Paul is mentioning of about nine evils. If somebody is there here who has written this question 1 Timothy chapter 48:25 6 verse 9 letter mantra You can read starting from 6th verse on 1 Timothy chapter 6. Those who want to become rich Those who want to become rich in the Yeah. All the evils we read 48:43 in orderly way. So Godliness than I'm going to put on the monitor. If you seek his kingdom and his righteousness, everything will be added unto you. I don't want to mention the number. You 49:00 have to finish with that one. Yes. Next. Regarding forgiving most often in money matters we get cheated. The offender after cheating me never admits that he cheated me. Should I forgive him? Yes. Let's say I still forgive him and if I 49:18 continue with the same person he takes advantage and plans greater ways to cheat me multiple times. Should I continue with such offender? No, don't continue. Stop having connection with him. Yes. Stop having connection with him. 49:32 Because we have to be guideless like the one wise as serpents. Yes. At work, how to express negative feedback on a department of a uh, in the college when something is not done according according to how it should have been but still not having a 49:51 grumbling spirit. So, if you want to report a negative if you want to submit a negative feedback about your company, you think of the consequences. Whether you'll be able to bear the consequences. Sometimes they may check you out. 50:05 Whether you you'll be it's okay for you. And you have to think all the consequences and practical situation, whether it is right for you to point out or you are crossing your boundary. All those things you have to see. Because I uh receive phone calls from 50:22 people who have written like that and then later on they regret, I should not have done it. So, uh please make yourself sure about all those things and then uh think like the silver is uh put into the fire seven times, 50:40 you write first and think about it, whether all the lines is it okay. And like that, revise it revise it revise it. Don't emotionally immediately send it. Take few days, sit with that, and you see their viewpoint, how they will 50:56 understand and take things. Okay, I do not know the actual situation. So, these are some guidelines. While sleeping, what is the reason that thoughts related to work keeps coming in subconscious? I would like to more know more about 51:11 whether it is right or how to address this or what is the answer. Anything to learn or how to abstain from it? Yeah. See, our body has got a mechanism to to deal with all the stresses we have accumulated at the workplace. The night 51:25 time in the subconscious, through all these dreams, all the stress are released. And so, ignore it. And if it is sinful dreams, then you have to cleanse your heart, judge yourself, and see what input has gone in. Garbage in, garbage out. 51:44 So, what input has gone in, you have to be careful. Yeah. Through many That's a verse, no? Lot of troubles, the dreams come. Most of them are vanity. Yeah. They are not real. Don't have any meaning. Yeah. Is 52:04 life hard? Are we living to impress? Is life just achieving degrees? No. Life is not hard. We don't want to impress others. Life is not achieving degrees. What is true love? Yeah, the love we see which we see from God. 52:22 Agape love is a true love. Selfless love. Unconditional love. Can we participate office team dinner? No one will force us to drink alcohol or ask us to dance for cinema songs. I understand this is lawful, but we are hearing to move towards whether this is 52:39 profitable. Absolutely, this is not profitable in terms of spiritual matters. But only thing we are getting a feedback that we are not mingling with everyone in the office team members. And we are not participating in some team 52:49 building activities. Sometimes it may affect professional growth, our increment and promotion as well. So, can we skip this profitable in this matter? And stick with the lawful by participating in team dinner without touching alcohol 53:05 and not dancing for cinema songs. Leave alone profitable, it is not lawful at all. It is sinful. Yes, yeah. Yeah, we should keep away from all these 53:23 office dinner. Cinema songs. Yeah, first Peter chapter four. We should not compromise in these things. We should not mingle 53:40 in such occasions. 1 Peter chapter 4 verse verse 4. 1 Peter 1 Peter chapter 4 and verse 4. Please see. In all this, 53:59 they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation and they malign you. Definitely they will malign you. They will talk bad about you. It's okay. We need not associate ourselves with 54:19 this sinful activity. When you honor God, God will honor you. No need to be afraid. No need to wait for promotion or salary hike or increment. Promotion comes from the Lord. Okay. What is right attitude for Christian at 54:38 the workplace? Should I work towards a promotion? See, Colossians chapter 3 verses 24 says, "Whatever you do, do as unto the Lord." So, even in your workplace, you do the work as unto the Lord. That's a attitude for Christian. 54:57 How to be faithful at workplace? Can we listen any songs, messages while working in our company? Sometimes there will be no work. That time can I use for listening songs or listening any messages? See, you have to see the company 55:09 situation and company policy and others should not point out that you are using this time for your religious purposes and all. If others are not thinking they don't care and all, then you can go go on. You can use that time profitably. 55:24 So, you have to see your company situation or your factory or your industrial situation. And what is the working situation? And there are many brothers, and who are working in IT company, you can consult them for more clarity. 55:40 Many days are filled with the day-to-day activities, work takes more time and family responsibilities. Amidst of all, how can I listen to God and fulfill his plan for the day pertaining to his kingdom beyond the day-to-day life? 55:53 See, there was a person called Brother Lawrence. He has written a book on practicing the presence of the Lord. And Google also, if you search, some part of the writings may be there. The presence of the Lord. Presence of the Lord. 56:08 So, he says, "Lot of people His job is cooking and washing the vessels." When he's washing the vessels nearby loud, so many other people are also washing the vessels with so much sound and noise. And he says, "They don't disturb him. He 56:22 can still commune with God, practice the presence of God, talk to God." It's a beautiful book. You can read for more light on it. I read it many years back. While preparing for professional certification exams, yeah, I remember 56:38 Jesus how in the carpentry uh shop, Jesus Jesus had heavy work at home because he was the eldest son and so many uh siblings, mother. He had heavy work. How he would have practiced the presence of God. You can meditate on 56:54 it. Holy Spirit will give you more light. While preparing for professional certification exams, we also have to work with the very tight schedules. We have to certified in few work areas. The company also is expecting that at 57:06 least you should have some valid certification. We are doing all practical part and preparing our level best. But clearing, we should prepare very thoroughly like 12th board exam. We have to study materials more than 1,000 57:17 pages. But in market, we are getting dumps, actual question paper with answer for very cheap price. Can we pay and get certified in this way? Because of this, I am not going to get any increment or promotion. No, whether you get increment 57:30 or not, it's not a good practice, not a good testimony. You should not uh buy that in market because they want to cheat and make money. There is the place Yeah. conscience and I'm wondering Yeah. Apply this conscience or conscious breaks. 57:47 See, sometime back you go and ask your mother, "Mommy, does this shirt look dirty or shall I wear this today?" The very question tells you that the shirt is dirty. If I take a new shirt and wear or washed and things, I will not ask a question. 58:06 So, sometimes the question itself has got an answer. Yeah. I go to college and sometimes I copy my assignment from AI or from my friends to save time. It is being unfaithful, is it? Being unfaithful in my work? How can I be 58:21 faithful in my work without wasting too much time on it and giving more time to God? I want to give priority to God's work but also be faithful in my work. How do you balance this? So, what's the purpose of giving assignment? 58:32 The purpose of giving assignment is that you should become knowledgeable in that area. So, whether you use AI or not, AI is a tool you can use by all means. But, do you know the content? So, at least read and understand and 58:48 then submit. At Next question. At work, we are required to be competitive. If you are not growing in value to our organization, we'll be replaced sooner or later. Competition brings strife and we get busy with the world. Projects 59:02 to be delivered are there. If you don't look at weekends, pull, push others at weekends, project won't fit in time. We are required to keep time short. If you don't obey my managers, I'm not doing my job. I'm required to push others, bring, push 59:16 myself. This itself brings lot of pressure. If you don't obey my managers, I'm not doing my job. I'm lucky to push others to bring and push myself to corners as well. But this sort is becoming norm in this 59:35 work and almost everywhere. I pray to God for wisdom. He has kept me and some work solves even without my intervention, but managers note it as my not my work. If things fell in place automatically, God is leading me somewhere, teaching me 59:48 something, but I'm not sure if I'm obeying God or hurting him or not coming to the right place. So, James 1:5 says, "If you don't have wisdom, ask God for wisdom. He gives abundantly." And ask God, "Lord, I don't have wisdom in this practical 1:00:02 situation." And the same verse, Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, do unto the Lord." Not to please the boss, not to impress him. And above him is your real boss. So, do unto the Lord and leave the rest in God's hand. He will take care of you. 1:00:16 When you honor God, definitely God will honor you. How do we deal with toxic people? Friends, relatives. Please. Yeah, you heard in the morning message by brother Victor. He gave a case study from his own personal life. 1:00:33 About the poor sister delivery time, how he helped. So, that way we can relate. So, love them and show God to them. Pray for them. Have concern for them. And do good to those who 1:00:52 persecute you or treat you badly so that sometimes they are ashamed. But we should not go to put them to shame. That God will take care. Why does God not help us sometimes? How do you know? So, God is there always to help us. 1:01:13 He's a good father. Loving father. Which father will not help his children? So, you evil fathers know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more our heavenly father will give you. So, God this is a Satan is telling God is not helping you. 1:01:30 So, you don't believe the lies of Satan. How can we pray for healing for someone when God's will is different from that what we prayed? How faith will improve here in this uncertainty? See, we always have to pray for healing. 1:01:45 Even if somebody is in the deathbed, 95% you will not live. We have to pray for healing. We should not yield to death. We have to pray for them till the last. So, continue to pray for them. Why does God take his own time to give 1:02:00 the best things? God only knows. So, yeah, it's God's wisdom. I find myself easier to walk with God when situation humbles me, but I'm finding to stay in the same humble state when situation changes, and 1:02:18 as a result I'm losing grace and falling into sin. So, be firm. Don't lose the firmness and get strengthened in the word of God and be stabilized. A righteous man will be stabilized. He will not be like a chaff which flows. 1:02:37 General questions they can get answered from the local church. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can save the time. Some of the questions are very lengthy answers like how do I get salvation? How to love God? How to know if I have the assurance? 1:02:52 General questions are there you can contact your local elders, and they'll be able to help you. 57 What happens when we die? 1:03:15 I will tell you after I might edit. Will everyone have judgement? Yeah, read Hebrews 9:27. It is appointed for all men to die and 1:03:34 then judgement. Everybody will have judgement. During the judgement day, will those who have not known or heard about Jesus be judged? They'll be judged according to their conscience. We read in the book of Romans. What will happen to newborn babies? 1:03:48 They'll be in heaven. Until a person, yeah. Until a person knows the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, no. Before that when they die, they'll be in heaven. When animals like goat, hen gets killed, 1:04:07 they suffer a big pain and die. When we emphasize more on love, then how can we part of killing indirectly? I know God said all animals created for us, but that killing part is something difficult to take. Even if you don't kill, one day they'll 1:04:21 die. Yeah. And that death is also painful. Yeah. You see people who die on their 1:04:40 deathbed, go to the hospital. Are they very smiling and dying? It is painful. No nobody is going to live permanently. Everybody has to die one day, earlier or later. We have to die. And I have read some articles, you know, 1:04:56 when the lion kills a deer and when it attacks, no immediately the adrenaline is secreted and the pain is masked and they are living in a shock. Oh, I'm caught by my enemy. And they don't feel the pain. That's what the research 1:05:13 says. They don't feel the pain. So, uh when you cut the chicken, the next minute it closes the eye. Only body some movement is there, but no brain to realize that. It closes eye. Very quick. That is better than the natural death. The other ways. So, 1:05:31 we don't spend too much time on this one. There's a question Hindus believe uh Hindu is Hindu religion is real. Muslims believe Muslim religion is real. We Christians believe that Christianity is real, but others think Christianity is 1:05:45 fake. We think Hindu and Muslim religion is fake. But what if Christianity is fake and other religions are real? How do we know that God is real? I need a proof that God is real and not fake. The very clear proof is Jesus coming to this world. 1:06:00 And he died on the cross shedding the blood. AD BC the history is divided. The entire world's history is divided based on the death of Jesus Christ. Before Christ and after his death. And he was resurrected. And resurrection is real. The death of 1:06:16 Jesus Christ is real. Recently we had a retreat where young people uh did a event and to prove how Jesus' death was real. Like detective agencies, they all came. One after that they realized. And so, Jesus' death is real even now. 1:06:36 The place where Jesus' body was kept, it is open. Can see. So, the death of Jesus Christ is here. Really the difference between the religion and the way. Christianity is not a Next question is People tell Christianity is Christianity 1:06:54 is not a religion. Explain. Yeah, Christianity is not a religion. Religion is man's efforts to meet God. All the religions they make efforts to meet God. But Christianity, God took the step to meet man. He took the initiative. He came 1:07:10 down seeking for you. So, Christianity is a way. It is not a religion. Jesus is the way. And Romans uh 10 we read now. You read the word of God. And we hear the word of God, and faith comes. 1:07:28 Faith comes by hearing hearing the word of God. So, I would suggest the person who wants to prove know read the word of God. And God will speak to you. That's a big proof. God will show himself to you. Yeah, take it later. 1:07:45 People say Jesus is the son of God. Then who is God? This question is based on the Trinity. Yeah, you not um do a research on this. 1:08:05 Okay, next. Yeah. See, 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 in this world, but in heaven calculation is 1 + 1 + 1 = 1. We can't understand heaven's uh calculation like the dog doesn't know binary number. Binary number is a very elementary thing in 1:08:19 uh data now. Dog doesn't know however intelligent the dog is because his level and your level are different. And your level and God's level is multiple times uh more than this dog and human being level. So, we have very little brain. We 1:08:36 can't understand everything. But we say God is love. If God is alone whom uh does he love? We talk about fellowship. So, trying God is there because they show the love, fellowship. And God is Father 1:08:54 Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, trying God. Three in one, we believe that. And it's only the spirit of God will make it real to us. Then we'll not have even a small doubt about it when the spirit of God reveals it to to it, reveals about it. 1:09:13 My friends ask me if I would still be Christian if I was not born into a Christian family. I did not know what to say to that. They also asked me if God was being unjust by giving such privileges only to certain people. 1:09:37 See, God is not a unjust God. God is impartial and God is a righteous God. We can never blame God to be an unjust God. You can find the word of God. God is beyond justice. Yeah, God is a just God. 1:09:54 You can tell God is not partial. Cornelius, he was a Gentile. He doesn't know he did not know who Jesus was. But God loved them. When Peter went and preached, they all received repented and received the Holy Spirit. God heard the 1:10:09 prayer of a Gentile. So God is not partial. He was not a believing Christian, but still God heard his prayers. All the alms he did, God was watching it. You can show that passage to them. How do you know that God loves us? 1:10:22 He gave his only begotten son. And to die on the cross. Then we come to questions on married life. We don't come to married life, but we come to questions on married life. Is it wrong for a girl to get married 1:10:41 after completing her studies but without work experience and no self-made money? Is it also wrong if a girl wants to work and earn a high salary and then get married and have money to pay for her needs like the wedding bills, etc. Both are okay. 1:10:56 So however God leads you, you follow. It's perfectly all right. I want to consider someone for marriage, but he seems to be very immature and attached to his mother. What should I do? He's not ready for marriage. Don't consider. 1:11:13 He's not yet ready. Yeah. I want to consider someone for marriage, but he has no boundaries with women like Brother Victor shared yesterday. Don't consider. Yeah. Because you need to have the assurance that he has to take care of 1:11:27 you and even now you have found out that he's not godly. He don't doesn't have boundary. Then after marriage you may find so many other things. So, unless you get clarity about his life, how he lives, whether he's a godly person, 1:11:41 don't consider. Because unequally you should not be uh joined with a unbeliever. How to have glimpse of heaven at your home, especially in your marriage? Yeah, first of all, peace and love for one another, husband and wife. 1:11:57 Then forgiving each other if there are mistakes committed by forgiving each other. You can experience These are all the glimpses. Yeah, glimpses of heaven. I feel very controlled at home. And suffocated in marriage life. I feel so 1:12:13 lost as every move I make has to be approved by and pleasing to my partner. I'm not taking about talking about spiritual things, but normal day-to-day things. I couldn't even have fellowship with others or come to church regularly 1:12:25 because of the restrictions. I feel I feel very uh scared and lost. And then Yeah, I think this is a very uh specific question and uh uh local Yeah, you can meet your local elder and discuss with him. They'll be 1:12:42 able to help you in this matter. I have a feeling that I always end up taking the cross at home. I need help. Taking the cross is a Joy set before Jesus he endured the cross. Yeah, sometimes taking up the cross you may have to endure, but what is the joy 1:12:59 set before you? That you think through this bearing of cross what you are going to achieve. That you think. Then it will bring joy. In name of fellowship my partner is neglecting home commitments and spending more time with outsiders. This is affecting our 1:13:16 marriage. I believe it dishonors God. How to fix this situation? Please share a few words of wisdom. Thank you. No, brother Zach used to say the founda- foundation, the first floor, second floor, the personal life, then family life, and then 1:13:34 ministry. So, you have to follow that uh order. You should not say, "My first commitment is ministry and meeting other people, outsiders." No, then your family will not succeed. Family life will not succeed. You'll not be able to live at peace. So, 1:13:51 first you concentrate on your personal life and your walk with God, cleanse yourself, judge yourself, and then be assured of the love of the Father. Second, you concentrate on family life, your wife or your husband, their needs, your responsibility, 1:14:08 children, concentrate meeting the family needs, and then church or ministry. That's the right priority. He has to be considerate. Yeah. Be considerate with one another as we read in uh 1 Peter chapter 5 and verse 7. 7. Yeah, you have to live in understanding 1:14:25 way, otherwise your prayers will not be answered. You'll be losing much. As a mother I start feeling very tired and somewhere its effect also makes our thoughts impure. I feel very sad about this, but please guide me as how I can 1:14:38 come out of this impurity. See, feeling tired need not make you impure. There's no connection between feeling tired and getting impure in your mind. If you are impure, cleanse yourself and ask God to cleanse your thoughts and feed more on 1:14:54 God's word. Meditate God's word. And do not be conformed to this world, but be renewed by the word of God in your mind so that you know what is the perfect good and acceptable will of God. As Bible says, "Forget your father's 1:15:08 house." I'm a married woman. I'm struggling in this area. I want to forget my father's house completely. Please help me. Say, "Forget my father's house." means now after marriage you should not say, "My mother used to cook a good food like 1:15:20 that and my dad used to take care of like that." And all if you talk about the past in the present, you are spoiling the present also. So, that emotional attachment uh that impact and all you should forget and concentrate on 1:15:33 the present. Concentrate on the present how you can help at present your husband or wife, your children. Then it will improve. Your family life will will improve. As the cost of living increases I check check the time. Yeah, we have 14 1:15:47 more minutes. As the cost of living increases, school fees commitment to give our parents. Is it okay wife to do some part-time job? Yeah, get the permission from your husband or your partner and you can by all means do a part-time job. Yeah. 1:16:01 If my spouse is not agreed for Yeah, you have to see your family situation also. If there are children to take care and if you go for part-time job, where they will be? They have to find safety. So, consider all those things also. 1:16:13 If your husband is okay, yeah. If your husband is also working, then you have to consider these things. If my spouse is not agreed for physical relationships most of the times, how can I live without complaining and back 1:16:26 fighting? You find out the reason why um she's not cooperating. And if there is a sickness or weakness, try to understand. And ask for grace. God will will give you self-control. 1:16:43 And if your partner is healthy and still refusing your it is a sin. You are not considerate according to 1 Corinthians chapter 7. Yeah. She has to do her duty. Duty. Otherwise, you are putting a lot of pressure 1:17:01 and burden on your husband. So, be considerate. I can see my spouse pretending as spiritual with everyone in the church. But they are living in sin, watching cinema, watching TV programs, watching YouTube shorts, spending time with 1:17:17 unbelievers friends and relatives in the phone, not doing the regular work. How to win their souls? Can we perform about uh inform about my spouse's condition to the closest circle brothers and elders elder brothers? See, 1:17:30 Bible says when you find something wrong, personally try to convict. Speak in a loving way and try to convict. These are the things which is not according to the word of God. And uh ask them to repent. Personal conviction uh 1:17:42 conviction. And pray for them with a real burden. Pray for them. With the help of the Holy Spirit, try to bring a convic- conviction. He will probably may repent and change. How to deal with a difficult taunting in-laws? Do we avoid them when 1:18:00 our peace is getting dis- disturbed? Definitely avoid them. That's the way to seek peace. That's the only way to seek peace. Please avoid them. But don't be rude to them and talk bad things about them. Bring up the children. How to be patient 1:18:15 with children when they not obey and rejoice in this situation? How to be Yes, now I'm already at the point where I don't know. We have to be patient with the children. Not till it will tomorrow. Yeah, it will change as days go by. 1:18:34 As God is patient with us, we have to be patient with our children also. How to guide kids to God? Be an example yourself. And pray with them, teach them God's word through picture Bible in interesting way. Tell them about God, the kingdom 1:18:50 values and pray for them. Like Timothy Timothy's mother and grandmother taught Timothy. Moses' mother taught Moses the biblical principles in Pharaoh's palace where temptation is so much attractions are so much. But she 1:19:06 put the word of God, the fear of God. So God will help you. Prayerfully you do it. How to answer the kids when they are asking meanings of some bad words they are hearing in the school and premises or around the neighborhood? No 1:19:18 need to answer. No No need to tell the meaning. Tell them that they should not use. Full stop. No need to tell the meaning. Then they'll become curious. Brother, could you please provide some guidelines on how to discipline 1:19:30 children? Often my husband used to discipline my child. I used to feel he's being hard on the child. And I end up not being able to be one with him in this. Could you please advise how I preserve my unity in this matter and suggest ways to deal 1:19:43 with this peaceably? Yeah, no need to punish children for everything. No need to take rod for everything. If they are rebellious, you can punish them. If they are showing hypocrisy, telling lies, then you can punish them. Otherwise, 1:20:02 with your words or preventing them from going for play or you will not do this. Like that you try to discipline them. And also see their age, whether that particular age Definitely you should not beat them after 13 or 12. 1:20:16 And use this verse and above all, ask God for wisdom. Lord, give me wisdom to discipline my children to bring up in the disciplined way, in the godly way. God will help you. If you're always late to church, school, anywhere and the delay of person 1:20:31 is causing unrest in the family. How should we address it politely, especially if it is going on for many years now? Yeah. Try to bring an awareness when they are late, how much they miss, how much they lose. You tell them in a loving way, 1:20:47 quietly, so that it goes into their mind. Immediately they may not respond, but they will change over a period of time. But do not sin. See mostly in the childhood days early days you always push them push them oh it's getting late 1:21:02 getting late getting late. Get ready get ready get ready go. As a reaction to that, they start going late. So see whether you have done that. It is better not to do that one because the reaction only we are the responsible for 1:21:15 such behaviors. Or wherever they had been earlier. How to deal with children who repeatedly tell lies and are dishonest even after repeatedly exhorting them? Allow them see, one of the reasons could be that they are afraid. 1:21:34 If they tell daddy may beat me. Mommy may beat me. So remove that fear. Ask them that they can share anything freely. That freedom if you give, this will reduce. Why they become dishonest? Why they want to hide? Because they are 1:21:51 afraid of the punishment. So whether that has driven them to this life, you have to check. So there should be a balance. Allow them to express freely whether they are afraid to find out what's the reason. And tell them God hates these 1:22:04 things. And if they tell lie, ask them to repent. Ask sorry for that one set right. So gradually they'll fall in line. How to become obedient to my parents? Start obeying. You'll become obedient. Yeah, somewhere you have to start now. 1:22:25 You start obeying. During COVID time, I have observed that my children saw pornographic sites in my laptop. I don't know how to handle this problem with children. Could you please guide me how to help my children in this aspect? 1:22:40 Talk to them about its evils. Don't react to that oh oh oh like that and all because already they have gone into that. Now, how to bring them out of it? Prayerfully, patiently, you pray with them and try to try to bring them out and tell them what 1:22:58 Jesus did on the cross of Calvary. How he bore his sins. Pray with your partner. When two of you join together and pray, there is power in the prayer that will deliver your children. And there are so many other protective 1:23:13 methods. One method is in a Covenant Eyes, you know, when uh when you subscribe for it, you know, randomly some 10 pictures it will send to the mentor or the brother who to whom you are accountable. And they will know what you are 1:23:30 watching. So, try to put it in that one. They will have a fear. At least if they don't have the fear of God initially, they should have the at least the fear of men. That is one uh fence. So, like Covenant Eyes, so many other 1:23:42 things are there. There are many uh ways you can block such things uh from the equipments. Set them boundaries for them. And whenever they work on the laptop, put them at table and chair in such a way that the screen is visible to others 1:23:56 who cross. Like that you can help them. No. Do our parents' sin affect us with long sickness? No. No. Once we come to Jesus, we are cut off from the Adamic tree and no curse is upon us. So, these generational curses and all, it's all 1:24:16 not true. Don't believe such things. You are cut from the Adamic tree and you are grafted to the life of Christ and his blessings come to our life. Last set of questions about the church. Please explain uh Luke 17:3-4. 1:24:35 Be on your guard if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. See, God ultimately wants everybody to repent. So, pray with the burden and talk to them and have a concern so that they repent. Romans 14:1. 1:24:53 Accept the weak in faith. And 2 Timothy 3:1-5, you have to avoid the hypocrites. Please explain these verses, brother. Yeah, you have to differentiate between the weak people and hypocrites. Those who have a form of godliness but 1:25:09 denying the power thereof. So, weak people you have to accept them and don't condemn them. Don't reject them. Don't blame them. We can help them. Associate with them. You can associate with them by all means. But 2 Timothy 1:25:24 list No, we have to get rid of those away because it will affect you. It will defile you. A weak person will not defile you. But 1 Timothy 3:1-5 people may defile you. How to handle pressure from co-fellowship sisters? I think that We don't know We don't know 1:25:41 it. Question is not very clear. You can approach uh If you're a sister, you can approach sister or you can approach your local elder. How to know a good sister for fellowship? Is it wrong to be close with certain sisters? It is not wrong to be 1:25:54 close with certain sisters because Jesus associated himself with Peter, James, John very often. So, it's not wrong. You find out whether the particular sister is godly and she doesn't judge others and she's humble or not. Try to find out 1:26:08 if she's a humble sister and see whether she's backbiting. If she's a backbiting type, judging others, not humble, not godly, keep your yourself away from them. If you want to fellowship, fellowship with a humble humble sister, godly sister who doesn't 1:26:25 judge, who doesn't backbite, then you will it will be profitable for you. How to handle a fellow believer who could not bear my family mingling with other families, but they want to be recognized by all. Is it good to continue fellowship with them? What is 1:26:40 true fellowship? Yeah, see probably they do not know. They don't have a light on that. Be patient with them and show Christ through your life, through your model. Pray for them. Talk to them. Do we need to visit families every week to have fellowship? 1:26:55 No. Will they be disturbing to them? Yes. How to know whether we can go and have fellowship with family? No, don't go. Fellowship is in our spirit, not by going home and talking 2 hours, 3 hours, eating lunch, taking coffee and all 1:27:14 that. It's not like that. It's in our spirit. I came here one brother says, "I see you once in a year or so, but we can have good fellowship." How to develop the burden for reaching the unreached people? 93 and 92 are same. Yeah. 91 and 92? 93 and 94. Yeah, 1:27:30 93 and 94 both are same questions. How to develop the burden for reaching the unreached people around us for sharing the gospel? Many days feel like not having any burden to share with others the gospel. How do we develop the burden 1:27:43 for sharing the gospel to people around us and we focus on being a disciple? See, being a disciple is not against sharing the gospel. So, we should not have a wrong impression that once you are a disciple, you should not share the 1:27:54 gospel. Nothing like that. If God gives a burden to share with somebody, you share with them. And share tell them we pray for you. God loves them. Short short things you can say. If they are further interested, then you can share. 1:28:08 Bible says, "Don't throw the pearls to pigs." So, when somebody is in need, share with them and when somebody is in need, share with them. And pray to God, "Lord, bring somebody who is in need across my path." So, that is a very effective way. Some 1:28:22 people throw the seeds wherever they go, whether it falls on rock, road, concrete path, they don't bother. "Oh, I have sown 1 kg of seeds." They are very happy. How many have grown? How many have given fruit? But rather, two or three seeds, put it 1:28:38 in a bag and a mud and manure it and pour water and it grows. That is good. So, always the burden you cannot develop. The burden has to be given by the spirit of God. So, seek God for the burden, and if he gives a burden, by all means you will 1:28:56 share the gospel. So, we have answered all the questions. Our time is also 5:30. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, brothers. Holy Father, we thank you, Lord. 1:29:18 Let your name be glorified among us, Lord. Lord, let not our lives be only full of questions. Lord, our lives should be settled in this path of life. Lord, 1:29:38 let us In Jesus name we pray, Father. Amen. Thank you. We'll listen to the announcements. We will now have a short break. The next 1:30:19 session will start at 5:50 5:50 p.m. Please assemble in the hall before the start of the next session. Please note that dinner has been arranged for all and we request you to have your dinner
