Please be seated, brothers and sisters. We look into our memory verse. Last week, we had a wonderful promise what God of peace can do in our life. Please repeat after me. It was a promise. Romans, Romans chapter 16, verse 20. 29:49 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Amen. And this week, we have a command, but still I see it as a promise. If we depend on the Holy Spirit completely, and God will help us not to carry out the desires of the flesh. 30:16 So if we depend on him, if we are filled with the Spirit, he will help us not to carry out the desires of the flesh. Let's repeat this. Galatians chapter 5, verse 16. Walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. 30:42 What a wonderful life God is offering us. Today, we are glad to hear a word from Brother Charles. Brother Charles has a word. After that, we'll hear some testimonies. Over to Brother Charles. 16 walk by the spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh what a wonderful 30:59 life god is offering us today we are glad to hear a word from brother charles brother charles has a word after that we'll hear some testimonies this morning 31:35 i would like to emphasize on what we've been hearing this anniversary month we call ourselves christian fellowship center and fellowship is the center word of christian fellowship center and that is very important 32:04 in the christian life and the bible has much to speak especially the new testament has much to speak about fellowship we don't find the word fellowship in the old testament except for one psalm 55 other than that not many times you find the word but it's a new testament world 32:32 fellowship and when god created god created man and placed him in the garden and he didn't create only men over different continents or countries but he said it is not good for a man for man to be alone 32:58 and he made him a helper and man is a social being he is supposed to live in community and with one another and in fellowship and in communion and fellowship the word the meaning of the word fellowship is intimacy or communion or closeness 33:26 or bonding so that is the meaning of it and we have even the word being used in the worldly circles like um some clubs rotary club and lions club also they use the word fellowship and what they 33:49 mean by that is just gathering together coming together or high tea or or a meal or something like that even in the world also they meet together over a cup of coffee or or a dinner or things like that and 34:10 they call it fellowship but fellowship is not friendship that is worldly friendship and fellowship is much deeper than friendship friendship is you love me i love you you hate me i hate you but fellowship fellowship but fellowship is not like that for um john the apostle is very clear in his epistle 34:37 when he says if we claim we have fellowship with god and with one another and we hate somebody then it's not fellowship we are in darkness we are not walking in the light so i was thinking about the word fellowship and i looked into the bible to see how many types of fellowships are 35:05 there and i found at least four types of fellowships in the bible and we will see them today for our benefit and and that's a good word for our anniversary month and also throughout the year as we 35:29 keep coming for fellowship meetings here may that may we keep that in mind that our fellowship first of all like we have heard many times it's like the two beams of the cross one vertical one horizontal and let's see the first one is towards god fellowship towards god that's the vertical beam 35:59 man and god the connection was cut when man sinned against god and jesus had to come to restore that and he did that on the cross he hung on the cross bridging the gap between man and god and 36:22 the bible is very clear that god has called us not just to be forgiven but into the fellowship of his son that we read in one corinthians one corinthians chapter one verse nine that's a great privilege that we have as christians 36:44 the lord it says god is faithful and through whom you were called into fellowship with his son jesus christ christ our lord we have been called to fellowship with jesus christ our lord and with the father 37:07 that we read in one john one three one john one three we read what we have seen what we have seen and what we have heard we proclaim to you also that you also may have fellowship with us so here the apostle john is telling you also may have fellowship with us 37:33 and with us means he is including himself and with the father and the lord jesus christ by the holy spirit our fellowship is with the father and with jesus christ by the holy spirit and these things we write so that our joy may be made complete and 37:56 he speaks so much in his epistle about life and death light and darkness and and sincerity and sincerity and insincerity and truth and lie and so on and so forth so it's very important 38:23 for us as we read this little epistle or the letter of john we find so often him speaking about him speaking about light and darkness and love and hatred truth and lie these things and he emphasizes them very much and it is important for us for us to see and examine 38:47 ourselves whether we are walking in the light first of all as he's in the light because we read here in verse 6. if we say that we have fellowship that i'm reading from 1 john 1 6 if we say that we have fellowship with him and at walk in darkness we lie and do not practice the truth 39:15 if we claim that we have fellowship with god and we are walking in darkness what is the meaning of walking in darkness that if i say i'm walking in the light as he is in the light and that walk in darkness means that i'm not walking in the light i'm walking in darkness 39:38 or in other words god is love and the opposite of that is god is hatred if i have hate in my heart towards anybody then i'm not walking in the light i'm not walking in love because god is love and we are walking in the light and we do not practice the truth but verse 7 if we walk in the light 40:06 as god himself is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of jesus his son cleanses us from all sin see this is talking about unconscious sin where as we come into the light of god more and more and expose ourselves to the light of god's word and the spirit of god and god's dealing with us 40:34 we see more and more of of our nature sinful nature adamic nature which we have inherited from adam and we see that more and more and these are not conscious we are not conscious of so many things and then it says the blood of jesus takes care of it 40:57 he in his mercy washes us and cleanses us and verse 8 says if we say we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us when we say we can come to a place where we can have a clear conscience but we need to maintain that all the time it's not enough that we confessed our 41:25 sins and we have forsaken them and then we walk in the light and daily we face so many situations and circumstances where we see the rottenness in us un-christ-like attitudes in us when we are under trials and stress and temptations we see so much of filthiness and decadence 41:57 and when we say that i was cleansed in the past and i hold on to a date i was born again on such and such a date i repented of my sins on such and such a date but what is your condition today are you walking in the light today how is your relationship with god and with men 42:18 today that's more important it's not just quoting a date in the past but how is it today if we say we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us but if we confess our sins as soon as we are made aware of it the bible says he who hides his sins or covers his sins shall not prosper but he who 42:45 confesses and forsakes them it's not just confessing our sins but forsaking it will find mercy from god otherwise he will go on continuing in sin and continuing and repenting continuing and confessing that is not what god wants us wants from us god wants us to do 43:13 once and for all violence against sin and be dead to sin and keep considering ourselves dead to sin on a daily basis and walk in the light as he is in the light and then whenever we are made conscious of our sin and we confess them to him it says he is faithful and righteous 43:41 to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and then we read again in john 3 14 you can turn to the next chapter next page john 3 14 it says if we know that we have passed out of death into life 44:07 we know we have passed out of death into life because we love the brethren there is life in loving the brethren everyone who hates his brother is a murderer see jesus said that in the sermon on the mount he who hates his brother is a murderer in the old covenant you heard it said that 44:30 thou shalt not murder but i say unto you jesus said if you get angry with your brother you already committed murder in your heart that is the new covenant standard and here it says anyone who hates his brother is a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him 44:57 that is god's word and then secondly vertical we saw the relationship between us and god that's fellowship vertical fellowship first and then comes the second relationship horizontal beam of the cross that is 45:18 is our relationship with one another in the church and outside and that we read in you know on the day of pentecost when 3 000 people got converted by peter's message we read how the early church grew and multiplied you can turn with me to acts chapter 2 45:47 acts chapter 2 verse 42 this is how the early church flourished acts 2 42 it says here and they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship they were devoting themselves 46:09 continually to the apostles teaching they used to come and listen to the word of god they didn't have facilities like this facilities like we have to record them to record them and to replay them if they missed a meeting they missed a meeting there were no such gadgets and 46:27 facilities they had to come and they continued to come and sat under the teachings of the apostles and listen to them and fellowshiped with one another by breaking bread and prayer and this is how the early church of the church of the church of the church of the church of the church grew and then 46:53 we read that god is love god is light and we have to walk in love and in the light and in sincerity sincerity means no hypocrisy there is no covering up of things no covering up of things like just like how we stand before the judgment seat of christ and everything 47:22 becomes you know everything gets opened up there's nothing that we can hide from god if we live with that consciousness we will stop pleasing men we'll stop living before the face of men if we do that dress rehearsal as it were 47:41 we'll be there of the throne of god on the day of judgment if i live with that attitude always with that consciousness that god is watching over me my wife may not know my children may not know my brothers and sisters in the church may not know what goes on in my mind what goes on in my private life 48:05 but if i walk in the light as he is in the light then we have fellowship first of all with him and then with one another and then it becomes more and more gloriously i become more and more cleansed and purified and sanctified and become holier 48:30 and this is what god has called us to fellowship with him and fellowship with one another but if i have anything any bitterness about somebody or wrong attitude about somebody or unforgiveness about somebody how can i expect god to forgive me jesus said it very clearly in chapter 6 of matthew 48:55 he said after he taught the disciples how to pray he had to reiterate or re-emphasize one thing in two verses verses 14 and 15 i think of chapter after the lord's prayer is over he said if you do not forgive others 49:20 from your heart even your heavenly father will not forgive you we would like to have our sins forgiven and we ask god to forgive and he does but we will not leave our our hand from somebody's throat we will not release them we still hold them like that man who was forgiven so much 49:47 but he went out and caught hold of somebody who just owed him some pittance he caught hold of him and he said pay up and he put him in prison even though he was forgiven so much which he couldn't afford to pay back the king had forgiven him but this man didn't show mercy to him like he was shown mercy 50:11 and he put him in prison and somebody who saw that went and reported to the king and the king called him back and he canceled all his debt forgiveness and he said no you should have been to him like i was to you could you not have forgiven him like i forgive you and then he's it says he handed him over to the 50:35 torturers who are the torturers demons he hands him over to the demons this is what your father will do to you if we don't forgive your brother or sister from your heart he said why jesus had to emphasize 50:57 that re-emphasize that again a second time after the prayer is over it's very serious dear brothers and sisters we we want our sins forgiven but we don't want to forgive others who have sinned against us that's what you pray like right in the lord's prayer forgive my sins as i forgive those who sin against me 51:21 and if you want god to forgive your sins you need to fulfill that condition of forgiving others first and then god will forgive you if you just repeat that like parrot and then come to god and then hold grudge against somebody and don't release them then you will not be released 51:46 another translation it says release and you should you will be released and if i don't forgive them forgive my brother and sister even almighty god will not forgive you jesus said go home and read that semen on the mount especially chapter 6 verses 14 and 15 52:10 it's very serious jesus was not joking here he was not you know just take it or leave it kind of thing it's life and death thing he was speaking about and he said if you don't forgive don't expect god to forgive you you think there'll be anybody in unforgiven person in heaven 52:33 in god's presence every one there will be washed by the blood of christ because of his mercy and if you don't show mercy to others as you have been shown mercy then even god cannot show mercy 52:57 to you that is a condition we read in galatians chapter 2 galatians chapter 2 verse verse 9 it says when saul was converted and he went to meet the apostles who were known to be the pillars of the church early church 53:22 and when he went to meet them they recognized the grace that had been given to paul the grace that had been given to paul and the apostle james and cephas that is peter and john who were reputed pillars gave me and barnabas the right hand of fellowship 53:47 so that we might go to the gentiles and they to the circumcised see they for the first time paul is meeting them with barnabas and he's meeting james peter and john who were called who all who were reputed pillars in the church early church 54:05 and some people still had some you know inhibitions and doubts about saul because they knew that this man was the one who was going around arresting people and torturing them and imprisoning them and they didn't know some of them didn't know that he had been converted 54:26 and then he's a changed man now they still had some reservations against him but barnabas took saul paul and got him introduced to the apostles and the church and then they recognized it says the grace given to paul and you know you can see grace upon some people it goes well with them spiritually and in every way they flourish 54:58 they flourish you can see that but some people who sit here year after year decades after decades they remain the same sometimes it has gone from bad to worse to some people in some people's cases so it's sad my dear brothers and sisters examine yourselves don't 55:22 come here just to listen to some sermon and just ease your conscience and go back home we are speaking discipleship here we are not giving sermons to tickle your ears or to give you a pep talk and send you back home encouraged church is a place where you hear words of rebuke correction and exhortation and comfort 55:53 so don't just come here for comfort and some encouragement and some pep talk that there are so many churches around who are interested in that who will tickle your ears and who will tell you what you need what you want to hear 56:10 but here we tell you what you need to hear that you have to repent of your sins you have to turn around 180 degree totally take a u-turn you are going in your direction sinful way sinful direction lust of the eyes lust of the flesh the pride of life 56:30 then jesus meets you or you meet jesus on the way and it's a complete turnabout like it happened to saul on the way to damascus he became a new creation all things passed away he turned around he was a pharisee of the pharisees he said goodbye to that and became a bond slave of jesus christ 56:58 if that has not happened to you my dear brother and sister today repent of your sins don't play the fool with sins some of you we know it's not going well with you it's going from bad to worse we're sorry to say that don't you continue like that if you want to continue please find another church 57:23 this is not the place to play the fool take your christian life seriously thirdly the fellowship one is vertical another is horizontal and the bible speaks of another fellowship that is called the fellowship of his suffering that is being being partakers of not only the divine nature but also the 57:54 sufferings of jesus christ we cannot die on the cross for the sins of the world like jesus did we cannot do that it has already been done but the bible speaks about the suffering being partakers of the sufferings of jesus christ 58:15 we read about that in philippines chapter 3 verse 10 philippines 3 verse 10 it says that here the apostle paul is saying that i want to know him that is jesus christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering being conformed to his death what is he meaning 58:39 by that here he is not meaning here that being conformed to the death that he should go back and be hung on the cross like jesus hung on the cross for the sins of the world that is not what he's speaking about here he is speaking about the sufferings that jesus went through not on that last day 58:59 on golgotha but before that all through his life he went through another suffering which jesus spoke about on the day when he broke bread he said take this bread and eat this is my body broken for you he said not going to be broken tomorrow on the cross it's already broken jesus body was 59:27 already broken because of the because of the sufferings that he went through in the flesh that is from childhood the reproaches that were upon him the insults the curses and the hatred with which people treated him called him all sorts of name illegitimate child son of the devil beelzebub 59:56 and madman insane satan so many things they called him he didn't say anything he didn't defend himself he didn't prove to them that he was born in bethlehem not in nazareth he was born in bethlehem he didn't prove to them that my mother had a virgin birth and all 1:00:20 that even though it was it was prophesied earlier in isaiah he didn't bother to prove his claims but he endured them that was the inner suffering inner death he experienced and god 1:00:42 delivers us also on a daily basis paul says that in second corinthians 4 you see he says that god delivers us um we can read that we are afflicted in every way but not crushed perplexed but not 1:01:03 despairing persecuted but not forsaken struck down but not destroyed always carrying about in the body the dying of jesus this is what he means the dying of jesus so that the life of jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh see on a daily basis the lord hands us over to different circumstances situations 1:01:41 where we are provoked to anger we are provoked to react in a ungodly way and in in a way that is not fit for a child of god god allows us all this so that we will be able to say like jesus said not my will 1:02:08 but yours be done in every situation i don't do my will i deny my will when i deny my will that is me taking up my cross many people have a vague idea about what it means to take up the cross the cross taking up your cross and my cross is nothing but 1:02:29 denying my will and saying yes to god's will and doing his will is taking up my cross simple as that remember that my dear brothers and sisters and paul also tells in second simon 2 11 it's a trustworthy statement that if we died with him in this way like jesus died all through his life not just on the last day of 1:02:57 his life on calvary's cross if we die with him we will also live with him if we endure we will reign with him also if we deny him he will also deny us if we are faithless he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself 1:03:22 taking up the cross daily and denying myself will is the way that god has god has chosen for us and it also says in colossians 124 colossians 124 it says now i rejoice in my sufferings for your sake 1:03:49 and in my flesh i do my share on behalf of his body which is the church and filling up what is lacking in christ's affliction see suffering in the flesh is different from suffering in the body in some translations unfortunately 1:04:10 they have translated translated the flesh as body it's not true if you suffer in the body you will not cease from sin it says very clearly in 1 peter 4 1 he who has suffered in the flesh has seized from sin it says in some translation it is written 1:04:32 he who has suffered in the body has seized from sin do you mean to say that all those who were crucified in the in the past including the the other thief on the cross who was also crucified on the cross who also suffered in his body 1:04:51 went to heaven seized from sin he went to hell as a sinner and all those people who suffered in their body for their crime and for their punishment everyone from the beginning till end from cain till and till the end everyone who suffered in the body 1:05:15 if they have not repented if they have not suffered in the flesh like this will go to where the other thief went not the one to whom jesus said you shall be with me in paradise today and this is the the fellowship of his suffering the third one 1:05:46 now we come to the fourth one and that is kind of a negative one which is a forbidden fellowship and that we read very clearly in second corinthians second corinthians turn with me to second corinthians chapter 6 second corinthians chapter 6 1:06:11 verse 14 there is another kind of fellowship which we cannot have this is fellowship with the world the flesh and the devil it says here do not be bound together with unbelievers 1:06:33 for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness what fellowship has light with darkness or what harmony has christ with belial or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever or what agreement has the temple of god with idols we are the temple of the living god you see we are 1:07:00 forbidden here to have fellowship with certain type of people especially with unbelievers and this verse applies to the single brothers and sisters who claim to have been born again who claim to be believers who claim to be forgiven by 1:07:24 god to such people paul is telling very clearly do not be bound together with unbelievers in marriage if you are a believer and you want to consider somebody who is not a believer remember who you are according to this verse you are a child of god and the unbeliever is not 1:07:51 and i want you to notice four things here he speaks about partnership he speaks about partnership fellowship harmony and agreement and also four types of people it says here believer with unbelievers it's not encouraged and lawlessness 1:08:22 with and darkness with light that means you are a believer and you are a righteous person you are a light according to these verses you are a light 1:08:44 and you are part of the body of christ what relationship has christ with the devil so a believer is part of the body of christ can i make the member of christ's body become member of a harlot it says in the same i'm in 1 corinthians 6 and 1:09:13 it says what fellowship has light with the darkness a believer is a is a light and he is part of the body of christ and what agreement has the temple of god with idols a believer is a temple of god you it's written there are the temple of the living god 1:09:37 do you recognize that my dear brothers and sisters that your body is the temple of the holy spirit and you are not your own you've been bought with a price therefore glorify god in your body it says so how often we think oh my body is mine who who are you to tell me 1:09:56 who is he or she to tell me what i should do what i should not do you've been hearing in this church for the last few decades and we have entered into the 50th year how has it gone with you since you came here are you treating this like any other church like where you used to go earlier here we don't take 1:10:21 collection we are not after your money and tithes the more you are given the more you are given the more you will be required to answer to 1:10:44 my dear brothers and sisters don't take your christian life lightly the more you sit here the more the greater will be your judgment because he who has received much will be required to give an account for that much brothers and sisters take your christian life seriously for this reason it continues to say that i will dwell in 1:11:15 in them says god and will walk in them and i will be their god and they shall be my people therefore come out from the midst of those people and be separate says the lord don't associate with them don't touch what is unclean and i will welcome you i'll be a father to you and you 1:11:38 shall be my sons and daughters says the lord almighty therefore it says in 7 1 the next verse therefore because we have all these promises beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit 1:12:00 perfecting holiness in the fear of god my dear brothers and sisters having heard all these things that your light and your righteousness your the temple of god and you're part of the body of christ you're called with a high and holy calling don't you live like the rest of the world 1:12:25 don't you live like children of darkness live like children of light and then it says because we have these promises let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit and perfecting holiness in the fear of god not in the fear of man 1:12:49 couldn't care less for the fear of man as i if i fear god i don't need to fear anything else if you fear god you don't need to fear anything else or anybody else that is god's word so there is a cleansing that god does the blood of christ cleanses us from all sins we read in 1 john 1 1:13:15 9 and here it says about another cleansing that you and i have to do there are two types of cleansing one the other one god does the other one as i recognize and it becomes manifest or evident to me sin that is in me what i do i cleanse myself the same thing is repeated in 1 john 3 3 also 1:13:41 he who has this hope of seeing jesus christ as he is when he comes will also cleanse himself like as he is pure so if that is your goal if that's not your goal my dear brothers and sisters take your christian life seriously if you think this is too much please don't accumulate more of 1:14:08 your judgment on your head by sitting here by coming here might as well find another easy going church where they will just butter you up and tickle your ears and speak to you what you want to hear not what you need to hear please pay heed to god's word and i would like to end with 1:14:37 this verse in efficiency efficiency 4 1 i therefore the prisoner of the lord entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you've been called with all humility and gentleness with patience 1:14:57 showing forbearance to one another being diligent to preserve the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace and also in colossians 110 something similar paul says here you walk worthy in a manner worthy of the lord to please him in all respects bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of god 1:15:24 if i am not increasing in his virtues in his divine nature and in the knowledge of god then i am on the slippery side i am not making progress instead i am sliding back backsliding has started like somebody said 1:15:46 if knee binding knee bending stops then backsliding starts remember that may the lord bless these words to our hearts shall we close our eyes and pray 1:16:12 father we thank you for your word this morning we pray that you will impress your word to our hearts to our hearts to our hearts burn them on our eyeballs life of eternity lord help us to see how fleeting our days are here on this earth 1:16:35 and help us to wake up from our foolishness from our sluggishness from our idleness lord jesus we pray that you will stir us up this morning you'll fill us with afresh with your holy spirit and cause us to walk in the light as you are in the light 1:17:00 that the blood of jesus can cleanse us from all sin and make us stand with boldness and confidence for your throne when you come we ask in jesus precious name amen amen we'll now sing a song 1:17:31 let's sing the song god is building a people of power 1:17:55 he is making a people of praise who will move through the land by his spirit and will glorify his precious name build your church lord make it strong lord join our hearts through your son make us one lord in your body in the kingdom of us 1:18:17 god is building a people of power and he's making a people of praise who will move through this land by his spirit and will glorify his precious name 1:18:50 oh build your church lord make it strong lord join our hearts lord through your son oh build your church lord oh build your church lord make it strong lord join our hearts lord 1:19:10 through your son make us one lord in your body in the kingdom of your son yeah 1:19:34 yeah a few brothers will testify now my heart is my heart is full of thankfulness for the lord and for the church and the elders and the brothers and sisters 1:19:57 who had prayed for me continuously i'm thankful for you prayed for my family as well a few things which is which is in my heart i want to just share basically i believe therefore i testify firstly i want to testify what is impossible with man is possible with god 1:20:22 we see in luke 131 it says the angel says to mary and behold you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall name him jesus mary response was how is it possible and angel says what is impossible with man it is possible with god and uh how it applies to me 1:20:44 it says um i mean we can look at the story of uh young ruler uh where peter says lord who can be saved and uh jesus says what is impossible with man it is possible with god there were at times in my life god led me to an impossible situation in my life 1:21:01 there was no other way to escape i was sacled by heavy burden in despair situations were getting worse day by day i'm talking about my health but i was not losing open god and this was fulfilled in my life what is impossible with man 1:21:18 it is possible with god hallelujah secondly i want to testify that i never doubted the god's love for me uh i would like to put a word to you have you ever felt sometime why god is allowing all these trials difficultly you may think it's only only for me why everybody is having comfortable life you know 1:21:37 only i'm suffering why god is you know targeting only me some those kind of questions can come i would say brothers and sisters i would rather say uh in in psalms 1830 it says that as far god his ways is perfect he shields all who take refuge in him and i firmly believe that god 1:21:56 has a wonderful plan for us his ways are always perfect he never makes mistakes in our life and i know i want to doubt god's love in my life i want to glorify jesus and because he has a wonderful life and other thing i want to say is you know that compared to the suffering of jesus my suffering is 1:22:14 nothing we are suffering is nothing i would rather say it is zero thirdly i want to testify that uh accepting god's will joyfully in 1 thessalonica 5 16 and 18 it says i'm referring to amplified version rejoice always and delight in your faith be unceasing and persistent in prayer in every situation no 1:22:35 matter what the circumstances be thankful and continually give thanks to god for this is the will of god for you in christ jesus uh is it possible to leave i put these questions to myself is it possible to leave this life i would say yes not through my flesh because my flesh is weak but only 1:22:52 through the power of the holy spirit you know at the same time the devil is always trying to say that it is impossible man to leave this life and i don't listen to him i'd rather say i will overcome him we will overcome him through the blood of the lamb and through the word of my testimony and your testimony 1:23:08 finally i want to testify god is faithful and 1 corinthians 10 13 it says no temptation has overtaken you but such is a common to man god is faithful will not allow you to be tested beyond what you're able to bear but the temptation will always provide a way of escape in my life god has provided a way of 1:23:25 escape for me he has given me a deliverance and so that i can endure and god knows how much i can bear time will come god will say thus far no further and he will put a full stop he has put a full stop in my life and i definitely provide a deliverance in my life all glory to jesus and his name alone be glorified 1:23:58 i want to share how the lord blessed me through his church to build my family life because of self-centeredness in my life there were a lot of issues in our married life especially in initial days blaming one another fightings many confusions many questions but in the lord we found 1:24:20 answers to our problems in our married life through the word of god through the godly counseling and honest fellowship of brothers and sisters the world sees the married life as a curse but by the grace of god which was revealed in the church we started seeing married life as a way of sanctification and protection 1:24:42 and i learned to bear with one another learn to love and learn to forgive i want to share some truths which and counseling which were helped me in the church god will not hear my prayers if i did not live an understanding way with my wife 1:25:04 second i'm sorry it is my mistake please forgive me these words will not come out of our mouth but i have to learn to humble myself and take the blame learn to ask for forgiveness don't use force as a weapon to make your wife make my partner to do the things even the good things 1:25:27 i should not command them but lead them as as before by going before them there is a long way to perfection in our married life but it is the fact that lord has done beautiful work and led us thus far by his grace and mosses i want to be deeply thankful to the lord and to his church until end of end of my life 1:25:48 with overflowing joy and thankfulness for all the lord has done um i want to share uh this verse from ephesians 5 25 1:26:15 christ loved the church and gave himself up for her so that he might sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word that he might present to himself the church in all her glory having no sport or wrinkle or any such things i'm thankful to our elders who love the church and 1:26:37 who are faithful in washing washing us with the word which helps remove all the sport and wrinkle from my life so that i can be holy and blameless one particular area that the lord is helping me to be cleansed as it says in ephesians 4 3 to be diligent to preserve the unity of spirit in the bond of peace 1:27:02 at home and with one another so to keep the unity at home with my partner and to keep the devil out who is
