listen Isaiah 1:18 come now let us reason together saith the Lord this tells us that we serve a reasonable God come on say mmm Satan is unreasonable God is reasonable and he calls us together he said

father to receive me as I humbled myself in your presence father Isaiah 42 verse 8 says I am the lord that is my name my glory will I not give to another and so God take the glory father this is my desire but give us the blessing because we need it blessed not only us bless our brothers and sisters across the way their father who also worshiping you now and across this blessed country I ask today God to speak through me very directly I pray for this country of Zambia father bless it some areas are suffering from lack of rain your word says in Matthew 5:45 he maketh the Sun to rise on the evil and the good and sendeth through rain on the just and on the unjust be merciful t of people they God in Zambia and where rain is needed a godsend a rain whether they follow you or not because you

your spirit a very special blessing on our guest day God we're so grateful they have come and may they experience with us be such that we will come and worship with us again I pray from my heart in Jesus name let God's people say amen and amen I also ask God to bless His Excellency Edgar Jaguar lugal your head of state it is important to pray for leaders the Bible says in Daniel 2 21 he changes the times in the season he removes kings and setteth up Kings the Bible says let every soul be subject unto the higher powers for there is no power but of God the powers that be are ordained of God whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation this is not my sermon but I need to let you know that God told Jeremiah to toll to tell the Israelites submit to Nebuchadnezzar read Jeremiah 26 27 28 submit to Nebuchadnezzar because he's my servant why am I telling you this as I travel around I run into church members who feel they are called to oppose the government no you're not called to do that at all you're called to pray to God and I said Jesus never criticized the government's you know whom he criticized with the church but he never even though he knew the government was corrupt he never criticized the government when the church does what is right in the sight of God God will take care at the government can you do you understand what I'm saying when maybe you can answer went too far and his kingdom the Babylonians in dealing with the Israelites God took the Babylonians out of power in one night God can change a system overnight without anyone marching and carrying a placard because God rules the Bible says in the affairs of men all right so much for that a person I thought I've been having a problem for the past several days the Lord has been sustaining me and I'm grateful to him for that my voice is my life my voice is my work what's our subject do that again it was one will read from verse eight or subject do that again it's about 20 minutes after 8:00 I finish at 9:00 my pastor all right we have Hebrews one reading from verse eight but unto the son he saith thy throne O God is for ever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom now hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity therefore God Eva thy God have anointed with the oil of gladness above thy fellows now concentrate on first and and vow Lord in the beginning come on have laid the foundations of the earth and the heavens are the works of thy hands stop looking for sake what does the father call the Sun God what does he call him intend the Lord Jesus must be to us Lord and God are you following me the father calls the Sun God and what is he saying thou thy throne O God is for ever and ever if the father says your throne is forever who sits on a throne a king the father is saying the son has a kingdom of course he shares the kingdom with the father my throne O God is for ever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom the father's Kingdom is the sons kingdom that's why jesus prayed in John 17 all fine are mine and mine are thine what a beautiful way to live or you can say what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine and so the father identifies the son as God there are some Adventists who do not accept Christ as equally God and it's very very sad they believe at some point in history we're back he had a beginning God cannot have a beginning are you with me God is God because he's always been there go to Psalm 90 let's read from verse 1 our subject here not again the ninetieth sound will read from first one some nonzero reading from first one it's a lovely sound to hear the pages of the Bible turning in the church beautiful music to my ear at least but don't turn forever fine Psalm 90 have you found it alright we'll read from verse one if you have the King James Version I would be delighted if you read with me you know we don't read the Bible enough are you ready Lord thou has been our dwelling place come on in all generations before the mountains were brought forth or ever thou has formed the earth and the world even from everlasting to everlasting finish diverse as our God now who formed the earth and the mountains be more specific Jesus Christ remember we read in Hebrews one first and and thou Lord in the beginning has laid the foundations of the earth and the heavens are the work of thy hands the father said that keeping this in mind you read Psalm 90 verse 1 Lord thou has been our dwelling place in all generations before the mountains were brought forth or ever thou has formed the earth and the world even from read it for me every resting come on to everlasting so our God won't this everlasting to everlasting me forever who is this God Jesus Christ what survivor saying he has always been there say Amen for Jesus so we discovered Jesus is God I didn't say it Jesus is the father I said Jesus is God let me use different words Jesus is fully divine the father is fully divine the Holy Ghost is fully defined but we're focusing on Jesus Christ alright so Jesus Christ was God he still is God now let us go to Isaiah 14 we'll read from verse 12 our subject do that again Isaiah 14 reading from verse 12 [Music] you have Isaiah somewhere in the middle of the Bible you should find Isaiah big book lovely got a book by the way he talks a lot about Jesus Christ that's why Isaiah is called the gospel prophet he talks so much about Jesus in prophecy Isaiah 14 reading from verse 12 when you found it's a man let me pray again father continue to be with me as I delivered these words of life in Jesus name I pray amen how about falling from heaven o Lucifer son of the morning how about cut down to the ground which this weakened the nation's four vow has said in thine heart read with me now I will ascend into heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will sit also upon the Mount of the congregation in the sides of the north I will ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the Most High he wanted to be like God about whom are we speaking Satan Lucifer before he came Satan he wanted to be like God he wanted to take the place of Christ well Christ cannot allow them let's go now to Revelation 12 and read a very familiar passage reading from verse 7 last book of the Bible revelation 12 reading from verse 7 our subject do that again you have that I cancer here some pages for Revelation the last book of the Bible chapter 12 reading for verse 7 it's a familiar passage read with me and there was war in heaven stop the first war was fought in heaven not on earth when that war was fought the earth had not yet been me when Lucifer attack Christ the earth had not yet been made and fair was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not neither was their place found any more in heaven verse 9 and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth read for me now the whole world he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him let's look at that passage again this time microscopically in concentrate there was war in heaven please question for you name the two generals of the two armies Christ Pam said not the father and said even though the father we know was on Christ's side yes it was Christ and Satan this is important the reason for that is said of the Adventists have a context for explaining the Bible that is unique to this church what is that context give me three words the greater blessings upon you the great controversy it is the ongoing struggle between two who are they Christ and seeker it began in heaven everything from Genesis to Revelation must be studied under the umbrella of the great controversy every time I sing I take an action that favor Satan in this controversy when I choose to do what's right by the grace of God I take an action that favors Christ in the great controversy the war began in heaven but it continues on earth in the lives of people this is the battleground then so the Bible says there was war in heaven Michael that's a name for Christ and his angels fought how precisely they thought we don't know but we know the devil lost and the dragon fought and his angels because angels followed Lucifer and prevailed not come on say Amen for that the very first time Christ and Satan met in battle Satan lost tell you something else every time Christ and Satan have met in battle Satan was lost so there is no need for Satan to triumph in your life when Christ defeated Satan Christ was God not man he defeated Satan as God well God is omnipotent you would expect God as an omnipotent being to defeat Satan then Christ came to the earth as a man he came to Satan's round when the war was first fought it was fought on Christ's ground are you following me so Christ had the advantage professional teams win most of the games at home you're not with me it's a strange phenomenon there's this psychological effect when you play at home you play more you play better you're you're more powerful you're more determined I don't understand it's called home court advantage Christ had home court advantage are you with me and Satan lust now Christ came down to Satan's Court now Satan had what home court advantage will the outcome be any different let's go to Matthew for our scripture reading for today Matthew 4 subject do that again you have Matthew for Matthew was a tax collector in other words for tax collector you know all practical ways was a thief oh yes but he met Christ and Christ changed him Paul was a murderer he never himself slit anyone's throat but he consented to their death and so but in God's eyes he was a murderer but he met Christ and Christ changed him it makes no difference to me how bad you think you are if he will allow Christ to touch you he will change your life that him in his weeks and again Matthew for reading from verse 1 let me pray Holy Father continue to be with me they God because the devil doesn't like what I'm saying in Jesus name I pray amen then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil and when he had fasted 40 days and 40 nights he was afterward and hungered and when the tempter came to him he said if thou be the Son of God command that these stones be made bread now Satan has Jesus where he wants him on his ground not only on his ground but in a weakened condition there was no one in the wilderness with Jesus mark says he was there with the wild animals when you're depressed and your heart is broken do you look for your dog you look for your dog oh you do I have to see what that dog looks like ok we look for other people who understand are you with me there was no one in the wilderness but wild animals so Jesus is on Satan's round he's alone he's weak and when he had fasted 40 days the devil didn't come the first day of the fast he came after 40 days loi said Jesus was emaciated thin he had lost weight weak in that condition the tempter came to him and said if thou be the Son of God command that these stones be made bread now I am out this is my imagination the devil said when you defeated me the first time you were God on your home ground with your father behind you now you're my crown you're weak do it again try it again see if you can overthrow me again do that again so he came at a temptation commander these stones be made bread but he answered and said it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God I want you to observe something you know the Bible says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and so I believe where if thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation what I'm trying to say is it is important to talk out loud when the devil comes to you Jesus did not say in his mind man shall not live by bread alone there is something strengthening about 4ko vocalization I was a prisoner to church don't remember where and I told members when you attempted say out loud in the name of Jesus Christ I will not do this no in the name of Jesus Christ no I will not do this you will be amazed at the power you feel and this lady came to me with her husband right next to her because her weakness is sweet think cakes and whatever else and she was trying to stop eating them to lose weight and the husband offered her slice the cake she was about to eat it she told me the husband is standing exercising and she said NASA I said in the name of Jesus Christ no she said the desire for the cake just left hence when the devil came to Christ if thou be the Son of God command that these stones be made bread Jesus spoke now with Jesus raised Lazarus he spoke with a loud voice in the United States policemen are all trained to speak as what is called a command voice let me give you a command they don't say would you kindly come out of your car they don't say that like a gun hanging on the hip they don't say that you know they give you a command and the quality of the voice is designed to affect your behavior are you with me Jesus cried with a loud voice Lazarus come forth and death had to release Lazarus I believe Jesus brought as loudly as he could in that wilderness given his weak condition it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God then the devil taketh him up into the holy city and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him if thou be the Son of God cast thyself down for it is written he shall give his angels charge concerning thee and in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone jesus said unto Him it is written again thou shalt not tempt the LORD thy God the power that Christ needed was found in the Word of God that power is still in squads word for us again the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them and said unto him all these things will I give thee if I will fall down and worship Me jesus said unto him get thee hence Satan for it is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve at the third time the Bible says then that devil leaveth then behold angels came and ministered unto Him the brought the half-brother of Jesus James he tells us in chapter 4 verse seven submit thyself therefore to God resist the devil and he will flee from you we want Jesus to resist for us that is a work the Bible says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins we want Jesus to confess for us no you and I must resist that was this sticks that resisting takes effort it takes determination but the energy that propels it is the Word of God can you say Amen it worked for Jesus Christ it will work for us and so when the devil said do that again see if you can overthrow me Jesus went to his father's word then trusting in the power of his father's word Jesus Christ resisted repelled and rebuked the devil the Bible says the devil left him and angels came and ministered unto him this is Christ as a man Christ was now in human form but Satan was the same delegate rights all should clearly understand that Satan was once an exalted angel his rebellion shut him out of heaven but did not destroy his powers or make him a beast what am I trying to say all the power Satan had in heaven he brought with him he brought our power and concentrated that power on a human being Jesus Christ let me say differently Christ met Satan as a human being the first time Christ met him as God well naturally the outcome had to be Satan's defeat now Christ confronts him as a man but as a man depending on God can you see a man and the outcome was the same the death or loss now there is a message for us the brother of Christ James tells us submit yourselves therefore the God who resist the devil and he will flee Peter adds to that in 1st 1st Peter chapter 5 verse 8 he says be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour first 9 he says whom resist steadfast in the faith James says resist him Peter Adler Alan says who is system in the faith this is the faith what christ accomplished in his humanity is an example for us but the devil will have us believe that in our humanity we are unable to meet his temptations and his attacks and that is a false teaching my brothers and sisters the victory Christ gained in the wilderness is the victory you and I can gain over every weakness Christ object lessons page 100 paragraph 1 what did I say make a note of that reference it is so powerful I gave you 10 seconds write it down Christ's object lessons page 109 a graph one you have that LOI writes the Scriptures of the great agency in the transformation of character let me convert that - lusaka English when God tries to change me the tool he uses is the word more than anything else so any white lights the scriptures of the great listen to me if your children have no interest in spiritual things set aside some time for them to read God's Word let me tell you something don't tell them read it read it with them if you can do that for three weeks you will begin to see a change because the Word of God it has a cleansing effect on the mind mm-hmm so elamite writes the scriptures of the great agency in the transformation of character Jesus prayed sanctify them how through thy truth come on thy Word is truth then she concludes with these words if studied and obeyed the Word of God works in the heart subduing every unholy attribute now let's list some unholy attributes name one [Music] was that telling lies oh yes and did the devil is the father of lies John 8:44 give me another unholy attribute stealing another one pride oh yes that's the hardest thing for God to deal with LOI says pride yes immorality mm-hmm let's be more specific pornography hmm you rip out your little smartphone sit in the back of the Pew the message is boring you download the devil's program are you following me yes pornography the Prophet says if studied and obey she didn't say a friend you know reading the Bible is good but reading from Genesis to Revelation every year will do very little for you if studied you apply your mind and obeyed the power in God's Word is released in obedience the Word of God works in the heart subduing every unholy attribute my question for you but don't answer me what are you struggling with there is no need to be caught in slavery to that struggle there is power to overcome and Jesus demonstrated that this is what he used to resist and the same tool is available to me and we should be you and I will never be tempted as powerfully as Jesus was which is good news for us because if Jesus facing the most powerful temptations overcame with this and our temptations are weaker and we have the same power to resist are you with me I didn't say that clearly let me try again Jesus was tempted more powerfully than anyone ever will how did he resist this this is nuclear power are you with me we are tempted at a lower level because we're not caught Christ the devil was trying to destroy the Savior and wrecked the plan of salvation in our case that's not the point of his attack we are not tempted as vicious vicious Jesus was but the same power is available to us which means you and I have no excuse to continue in our weaknesses no God doors to extremes if I as I travel sometimes I go to countries where the mosquitoes and God has kept me from malaria I've been bitten by mosquitos uh uh I mean they feasted on me and God has kept me from malaria he that have a natural immunity or God has given me some sort of divine heavily immunity whatever the case I thank him this is not a trick I was in a rule one that many years ago and I woke up and I found all these bite marks I said father I know vengeance belongs to you but let me find that mosquito no I literally and I looked around and I shook the curtains and he flew up gun fly fast because he was gorge in my blood and he landed on the wall and I just slammed that wall and there was a splott of blood on the wall and I took a picture I'm like that I I know where that picture went but I killed him with just when it comes to the mosquito of sin God doesn't tell us to use our hands he gives us a sledgehammer are you following me God gives us a sledge hammer to kill a mosquito because it's the only weapon he has and the sledgehammer is thus said the Lord can you say hey man this was a sledgehammer Jesus used to hit the devil over the head is the same weapon available to us my brothers and my sisters the devil said to Jesus do that again you overthrew me when you were God on your home ground with your father behind you now you're on my territory you are my ground you're a man you're weak move that again and Jesus did it again by the power of his father in the word can you say a man now you've got to say to Satan when he comes Christ overthrew you in heaven he conquered in the wilderness and he will conquer you in my life today it is written flee fornication it is written thou shalt not steal then drop my tithes in the plate don't go buy a dress with it drop it in the plate it is written thou shalt not bear false witness then speak the truth it is written this is your power hence for this morning I offer to you the Word of God as your weapon of warfare you read Ephesians 6 the helmet of salvation the breastplate of faith the shears of the gospel the only offensive weapon is the sword of the Spirit are you with me Jesus conquered Satan in heaven when Jesus was God and that's all he was he came to the earth and he came in your condition as mine and I need to stress this at a fourteen minutes to nine let me say it again let me pray father as I come to the close give me precise language I pray in Jesus name and for his sake amen when Christ came to the earth he came with our weak nature what Hebrews - you need to understand in what nature Christ conquered then you will realize victory is possible for you and for me Hebrews - let's read verse 9 of Hebrews to our subject do that again when he found its mm Hebrews 2 verse 9 if you have my version you may read with me but we see Jesus come on who was made a little lower than the Angels for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor now go to Psalm 8 keep in mind we just read Jesus was made a little lower than the angels we read that about Jesus Psalm 8 history from first three Psalm 8 reading from verse 3 when I consider thy heavens the works of my fingers the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained what is man than or what mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him read with me now for thou has made him how a little new earth and the angels what do you notice about psalm 8:5 and hebrews 2:9 Jesus Christ was made how the way we were made a little lower than the Angels I repeat he came in our condition let's go back to Hebrews chapter 2 there is not a weak person on the face of the earth who cannot resist the devil he can be resisted he was - reading from verse 11 you have that for both he that sanctifies and then who was sanctified are all of one keep earning for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren skip to verse 14 for as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same let's reread those words to see how the Bible is stressing the fact that Christ came in our condition for as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same will verse 18 what is our first theory for me of people still verse 80s as well for in that he himself had suffered come on being tempted he is able to suckle them that attempted the suffering was terrible for Jesus but he resisted in the word of the father because he experienced that he knows how to help those of us who are under the pressure of temptation go to Hebrews chapter 4 let's read verse 15 of Hebrews for our subject do that again when he found Hebrews 4:15 say mmm for we have not an High Priest come on which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities definitely now but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin as you attempted Christ was tempted he was like you and I are go to Luke chapter one Luke one and also look to verse 40 find those two verses it's almost 9 o'clock look to 40 Luke 180 now I want the little children to really focus on these two verses when all children big and small Luke 2 verse 40 Luke 1 for Sadie excuse me the a fluke 180 do you have it all right read the first part and the child will and waxed strong in spirit stop who is that child no not Jesus John the Baptist and the child grew and waxed strong in spirit who referring to John the Baptist who by the way was the cousin of Jesus and older than Jesus by six months now let's go to Luke 2 let's read verse 40 the first part of that verse are you ready read with me and the child grew and waxed strong in spirit stop who is that child Jesus what do you notice same thing Jesus grew the way John the Baptist grew you have a little child you can raise that child the way Jesus was raised although I says every child can gain knowledge the way Jesus did are you not listening you're listening John the Baptist u-kwon ad and the child grew and waxed strong in spirit Luke 2:40 and the child grew and waxed strong in spirit Jesus was one of us can you say Amen when Jesus came to the grave of Lazarus do you know us mother Mary where have you laid him why did he ask he didn't know in his humanity No I'm talking to myself am I talking to myself he did not know notice I said in his humanity and so he said where's he where Jesus was a human being now this human being said to Satan it is written temptation one it is written temptation to it is written temptation three and he gave you and me an example of how to resist Satan and temptation I thank God for revelation 12:7 through 9 read it with me and there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not meaning they lost this same battle fought in your life and mind can have the same result my brother my sister it is God's desire that Satan lose in your life the way he lost in heaven and the way he lost in the wilderness verse 9 and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world except a few I hope you're one of the few listen to me again he deceives the whole world except of you he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him as you sit where you sit I want to identify that weakness in your life [Music] and present it to God for treatment for this overeating watching too much TV let's choose the less horrible ones let's not get into fornication adultery homosexuality was that cool or gossiping okay sister gossiping and the other ones that we smile about my message to you is through the power of God's Word you can have victory over that weakness that has made you a slave all your life and the fixture of Christ is proof that you and I can conquer you know the Bible says there's therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh what does that mean Jesus is saying if I concurred in this flesh which is your flesh you can concur but we have to believe that he condemned sin in the flesh meaning a human being does not have to be a slave to sin it is not necessary we are slaves to sin because we choose there is deliverance this victory the devil was defeated every time he and Christ met he lost this can be reproduced in our lives because the power by which Christ conquered is the power available to us and so I said to you identify that area of weakness and target it for battle through the Word of God study a little bit let's say your weakness is you have a short temper you get text in the Bible that deal with that let not the Sun go down on the grass you use that be angry and sin not use them he that is slow to anger is better than the mighty you use that and you use those and you pray and you say father I want this power in my life I want control of my temper because so many people are in graveyards because they could not control the temper your weakness is stealing you begin with commandment eight thou shalt not steal that commandment has the power for you not to steal because we're told every command is a promise the commandment thou shalt not steal has the power to conquer theft in your life of mine thou shalt not commit adultery has power in it for us to avoid adultery if we simply decide to obey that word the word has power but the power is released when the slightest attempt is made to obey when Jesus calls a man who had been six thirty eight years rise take up thy bed and walk that's the word of God you know why he walked because he o big in obeying strength came to his limbs and he walked my brothers and sisters let me close you do not have to be a slave to sin will you make a mistake yes that's not what I'm talking about I am talking about the consistent sins that distinguish us and we know what they are you can conquer you can overcome by the power that Jesus used if that power was the word of his father it is written Philippians 4:13 what is written there I can do all things come on through Christ come on Miss forgive me now let's look at that first microscopically let's personalize it I who is I put your name Randi ski can do all things was this problem pry all right when this key can conquer pride how through Christ which strengthens rendus yes now you believe that because God does a line the Bible says I can conquer pride through Christ what does Christ say I am the way the truth what did he pray sanctify them through thy word and so my conquers will come through exposing myself to the divine radiation of the Word of God which one of you has a weakness you'd like to conquer can I see you have don't look around don't look around this is your business on God stand up with me there's something you'd like to conquer stand up with me let me put my hand up as well now this is no joke this is not the usual service raise your hand say something and your goal this must be the beginning of a different adventure you and I are working on a particular weakness we have Psalm 139 verse 23 search me O God and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see see what if there be any wicked way me and God has shown you something is shown me
