how to be led by the lord
Pastor Lawrence
For I determine to know nothing among you except Jesus and Him crucified
Galatians 6:14
But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Christ crucified is the wisdom and power of God
Isaiah 53:6-7
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
He was oppressed and afflicted yet He open not His mouth
Jesus never spoke up to defend Himself, He was sinless
He silent because He knows exactly what He is doing, carried my sins
Hope place all my sins at Jesus Christ, He was judge and punish for my sins
He alone is worthy, He have save me
This world I have tribulation but have good joy
Greatest victory is the cross
God loves a cheerful giver, hilarious
Giving truly is something from the heart
I want to worship
Love the Lord for what He have done for Him
I want to give to Him
Pastor Prince
Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Minister joy by being
Whatever I ate do not feel guilty
Do you have faith? Have it to myself before God
Happy is the man who do not condemn what he eats
Man comes under a curse (like a sentence, judgement)
As believer I can’t have judgement from God ever again
Judgement seats of Christ is not for believers
He that eateth out of doubt is judge
God does not not want me to fall under it
He that eats and drinks Lord supper in unworthy manner (take it not discerning Lord body), eating consciousnesses of judgement
God does not want me to be condemn in the world
No child of God is unworthy
Luke 11:13
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Egg is a good things
Diet - Best way is to follow God
God says don’t eat too much, don’t eat too much
God says it’s good, it’s good
Bible said Honey is good but don’t eat too much
Eat pineapple tart, thank God and eat it with no condemnation
Condemning something I condemn inside but I still do it, because people say it’s good, there’s consequences
Every part of Bible is important
Bible is the word of God
Every scripture is God breathe God inspired it from Genesis to Revelation
Old Testament spoken to the Jew nation of Israel
When God looks down on earth, He see 3 groups of people: Jews, gentile, church of God (1 new man)
Revelations 2:9
“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Galatians they tried to bring back the law
Abraham found something that he have blessings after blessings
What shall I say my father Abraham found
Abraham found something that have victory of his life and Abraham is father of faith
Abraham father to the flesh has found something to do with the flash effort Abraham found out about the effort, Abraham was justified by efforts
What says the scripture? Abraham believes God and counted righteous the person is still ungodly and himself
God justified ahead of myself but Abraham faith counted for righteousness
He believe God and God counted him righteous
Romans 4 To him reward worketh reward
4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
To him who works not but believe in him who justify the ungodly
God justify ungodly
God justify sinful man. And solid foundation is the work of Jesus Christ on the cross
Jesus took my sins Bible said Jesus who know no sin make sin on earth cross, made righteousness
I am the righteousness of God in Him
True desire : my desire to do it is gone
How? by discovering this gift of righteousness, Righteousness comes as a gift
John 14:2
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jesus rose from the dead, never to die again
I’m in that resurrection
Power of resurrection such that
Revelation 2:13
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
If sea can give up the dead, can imagine what state is the dead in e sea?
The power of resurrection , The victory of death - Jesus knows exactly every atom
I will have glorious body Like Jesus body rose from the dead
Jesus have flesh and bone but He can appear and disappear
Transcend time and space, the new body
Every where I look is beyond screen time, it’s forever
Righteousness by faith
Last act of Jesus before He go up e cross - Washing of disciple feet
Believing of God who justify me even I’m ungodly
John 13:1-17
1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”
8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”
Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”
9 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and myhead!”
10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”
11 For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”
12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you [b]know what I have done to you?
13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
13:1 He love them completely, the uttermost
Betrayal mention first than Jesus know
Jesus conscious of: Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands
I got to know who I am, God gave me all things before I can be humble
People proud because they are insecure
I know my Father, I know He loves me, He give all things to Jesus and I join heir in Christ
How to be loving and keep the commandment
Joseph knows that all power of Egypt is in His hands
All the powers in His hands, He forgive them
God send me here to save many lives

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 13:7
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”
He went back to Father, He is at Father's right hand. He is washing my feet every single day
Jesus telling me: "If I don’t wash your feet, you have no part in me"
Together with me
He who is bath does not need but wash His feet and completely clean
Put my trust in Christ, I have the bath
Washing of regeneration
Once I’m saved I’m saved, the bath can be repeated
God want possessor in life
I’m completely cleaned - sink it in
He justify when the person is ungodly because of what Jesus did
Feet: symbol of my walk
Washing of water of the word
After He washes me, He dries my feet
What He do in heaven: He still serve His people
Son Man comes to serve
He wants to wash my feet
Happy am I, if I do this
Priority 1 in upper room: now I go and I wash other people feet
John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
After people feel the washing , they don’t sin
If I’m clean, I don't want to dirty myself
Gospel of grace

The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Righteousness girdle of His grace
Always let people feel they are righteous in Christ
Ministry of righteousness exceed in glory
Romans 5:17
For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
Best testament of God word
For believer I’m looking at rather
Christian : We shall not all sleep
Spend time with Word of God, give me wisdom
They who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life by Jesus Christ
God promised Abraham "in your seeds all nation be bless"

John 13:34-38
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”
Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.”
37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.”
38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.
John 34:34 "As I have loved you"
Why call new? I see new means there is also old
Old commandment: loved one another as yourself
Love one another as I have loved you
Having love His own , wash their feet, unveiling Himself to them.
Understand Jesus love for me
Greatest commandment: you should love your God with all your heart, soul
After He died is for whole world
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For as many of the works of the law, you are under the curse
The law curse just 1 sin
I’m died of the law, I’m live grace
Paul says:
Romans 7:4
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God
Romans 7:7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.
Law is designed to show man they are sinner
Morality come from grace is much higher
1 John 4:9-11
9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God (law), but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us (grace), we also ought to love one another.
I’m under grace
I can’t love unless I’m first loved
Loved one another because He first love me, Jesus tells me: "I love you"
Keep loving her, He loved me to well being shalom
Jesus is the man , I am the bride
He lovedmes into wholeness
1 John 4:10 we loved coz he first love me
1 John 4:16-19 ESV
16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.
I know in my head but do I believe the love God have for me?
God loves me. I got to Believe it that God loves me
When it’s hard to believe? It’s hard to believe when things go wrong
Know and I got to believe God loves me
Love is perfected among us is a person
As Jesus is free from diabetes, so am I in this world
As Jesus is so am I in this world
He is holy, young, strong,righteous so am I
Under God unclouded favor,
Far above c19 virus, every sickness and disease, Far above Satan
Psalm 91 is my reality
I’m seated with Christ, that’s the secret place
Pray for general prayers
It’s God's blessings that makes me healthy
Here voice inside and not outside
Devil is outside, Holy Spirit is inside
Don’t try to beat traffic light of God
Amber light wait
Green light move
Presented as precious stones
Engrave heart of the high priest
Heart represent love
Each tribe have different colour yet unique
John 13:21-30
21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
23 Now there was [a]leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 Then, leaning [b]back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those thingswe need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
He believe the Love
John always conscious of he is disciples whom Jesus love
It’s not my effort to make me healthy but your blessings
For the lack of difficulties god loves me
Be the one who lean on Jesus breast
1 Samuel 30:6-10
6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was [a]grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?”
And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.
Pursue : radaph
Exodus 28:15 NIV For making decisions
“Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions—the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.
Exodus 28:29-30 NIV
29 “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord.
30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.
Making decision:Looking at His heart of love
Ask request from the Lord, want Lord do something for me
Add this to my prayers: "just because You love me" (eg: lord speak to me just because you love me)
My faith will start working like never before
Depends of Lord love for me
Daughter be of good comfort
He have all the supply
Thank you Jesus!
Amen!
