  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the word of God with you.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: I've started this series called Heart Matters, and I really want to recommend you to go back to the very first episode because I've been sharing on a lot of amazing stuff.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: I've been sharing on the heart of the gospel, you know, in two ways.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: The heart of the gospel from the beginning of creation, how God wanted to have relationship and intimacy with man.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, we know how it broke, and then we know how it had been restored in the fullness of time when Jesus came.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: He gave himself as a sacrifice for our sins, and he restored us unto God so that we now can eat freely from the tree of life and are back in the garden.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and you can see that the heart of the Father always has been for us to be reconciled to him, that we that from the beginning of creation, he wanted to have intimacy and community and oneness with us.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so he wanted to be in us and that we would be found in him.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: And so I've shared on that part, and then I shared on the part, you know, where you know, when we are becoming partakers of the divine nature, and we are partakers, you know, of the gospel of the kingdom, then we should act on the same way, and we should, you, we should, we should do the same things.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: We we we should walk in the dust of the footsteps of uh our rabbi Jesus, amen.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's really uh was a very beautiful teaching, also, because you know, if we look at Jesus, we saw we see that he is always moved with compassion and he loved on people no matter what, and then he asks us to do exactly the same.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: And I showed from the word of God that we are now capable of loving others the same way that God loves them, and loving ourselves the same way that God loves us, and manner really has been a blessing.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: And then I went to a different aspect of the heart matters, you know, and that is believing.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: And I started with that, ended with that in the previous episode, you know, on you know how believing also is a hard matter.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: And then I have thought on faith now.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: Faith now, you know, means that in your heart, now you know that you know, that you know, even if you do not see it, even if it looks completely ridiculous in the natural, it's impossible and undoable, but you know that you know in your heart that it, you know, it is true because God said it and God can't lie.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: And if God has spoken, then it surely will come to pass.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so it's it that faith now is a substance, it is the substance of the things that you have hoped for, it's the evidence of the things that you have not seen, and so that's the that's the kind of faith that pleases God.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: And so um I've shared on uh you know uh Lazarus and how Mara was believing for the future and Mary was believing for the past, and then people that saw that Jesus raised him from the dead, they believed after they saw it, you know, but that God is seeking for a people that are believing now in this moment, if you cannot see it yet.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I really, you know, believe that it had ministered to somebody that is listening or watching.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: And Father God, thank you so much for this teaching, and thank you that you know your Holy Spirit will bring me utterance on the things that you want me to share with them, and I give you all the praise and all the glory in Jesus' mighty name.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so I was using this verse in James 2.14 where it says that can save can faith alone save him, or can faith save him, in James 2.14.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: And so I shared on you know that you have to put your faith in grace in order to receive what has been established by grace, because we are saved by grace, true faith, you know, and not by faith alone.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: But we're also not saved by grace alone, you know, that's the other side of the coin.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: But faith does something, faith acts.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: Faith has works, and they are not works, you know, of um uh own performance, they're not dead works like I'm gonna do this and then God's gonna give me that, you know, then I'm gonna do this and then I'm gonna earn that with God, and then I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna be in good standing with God based on my own performance and my own works.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: And that are not the works that I'm talking about.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm talking on works of faith.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: You say that you believe something, then you need to show that in your actions, you know.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: And basically, if I would continue to read here in verse 15, this is a verse that really God, you know, transformed my heart and the way that I'm reaching people, you know, all over the world.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Because it says that if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, Depart in peace, be warm and filled, but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: And so that verse, you know, verse 15 and 16 in uh James 2 man, it really, really, really changed my life because I went to the communities, the favelas in Brazil, you know, I was preaching the gospel.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: The very first time I was preaching the gospel, I went empty-handed.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: We brought some balloons for the kids, you know, but then just a speaker and the mic, and I just preached the gospel.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: And before that, everywhere I preached the gospel, I was preaching the gospel, and that's it.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: But then, you know, in that favela, I had about, I don't know, maybe 20 people, which was a lot, you know, for me in the beginning, but 20 people that came to accept the Jesus, you know, in the in the favela, in the community in Brazil.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: And so a few days later I went back with the pickup and we made a hundred food parcels.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: And we drove into the same community, same favela, and it was swarmed by people.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: I mean hundreds of them, you know, standing all around the pickup because they wanted a food parcel.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: And when I gave them the food parcels, I cried because I didn't have enough to give to each and every one of them.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: And people came to me with tears, thanking us, hugging us, telling us, you know, that this is really what they needed, you know, and in that moment, this is the verse that the Lord spoke to me.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: If a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, Depart in peace, be warm and filled, but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: What does it profit if I'm gonna stand there preaching a God of prosperity, preaching a God of blessing and favor and grace, preaching a God that has a hope and a future for them, loves them and gave his son for them, and he doesn't want them to live the life that they are living in brokenness and poverty and emptiness and all this kind of stuff.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: What point has it to preach all that and then not show them that God truly loves them?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: By my actions, by giving them what they need in the natural.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus himself, he was moved with compassion because the people were already three days with him and they were hungry.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so he said, Give them food.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: He was giving them spiritual food, the manna from heaven, but then in the meantime, they're also more needy in the natural.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: And Jesus says, Give them food.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he was moved with compassion for them.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so it's so biblical that when you go and preach the gospel to the poor, to the humble, to the brokenhearted, to the afflicted, don't go empty-handed.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you need to bring something to show them that that the God that you say that loves them really loves them in all your actions and the way that you do.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: You need to put it into action.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: And then it says in verse 17 does also faith by itself, if it does not have works, it is dead.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: It is dead, and so faith, just saying that you believe is not faith.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: If you just say I believe, it is not faith.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: I believe that I can fly, but you don't jump off a building, then that's not faith.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: Believing is a hard matter.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: If you truly believe in your heart, then this automatically will manifest itself through the works, through your actions, through the way that you walk and the way that you talk and the way that you act.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: It will be it will be evidence in the natural of the things that you say that you believe.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: Now James says in 2.18, he says, but someone will say, You have faith, and I have works.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: Now show me then your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works, you know, in manifesting uh it manifests in acting on it, applying it, you know, and doing what you say that you believe.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: If you if you do not have faith, then you know uh your works are dead.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: But if you do not have works of faith, then your faith is dead.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: And man, that's an amazing principle.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, it's like my uh youngest son, which I love a lot, but you know, he was the most challenging, especially when he was younger, you know, and and this guy, man, I'm telling you, he told me like maybe a 50 times a day, you know, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, you know.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Every time you ask me something, every time I, you know, you you wanted to have something or take a cookie or a can of coca-cola, you know, or whatever, you know, and and then you say, I love you, and I love you, and I love you, you know.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: But the way that he was treating me and he was treating my wife, you know, and the way that he was, you know, disobedient to us and not applying, you know, uh agreeing to our rules and all that kind of stuff, you know.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: He didn't show me that he loved me.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: His words were empty.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: His words were like, see you later, thanks a lot, you you done it again, you I fooled you again, you fool, you know.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's what he was saying while he was saying, I love you.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: Their words didn't prove anything anymore because he didn't show us in what way soever that he truly loved us.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: And I told him.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: I said, you know, stop saying that you love me, show me that you love me.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: Because otherwise it's just empty words.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and then he started to say it less and then show it a little bit more, and that was really pleasant for us because now we knew that he really loved us.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: And so it's a very good example because it's the same way with God, you know, saying, God, I believe you, I believe what you say in your words, you know, and I proclaim it in the name of Jesus, and I confess it in the name of Jesus, hey Alamando Rey, you know, and I can shout all those things that I want, but then if I'm not gonna apply it, if I'm not gonna act on it, if I'm not gonna walk in it, then that were all empty words, blanks that you have shut onto heaven.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's just empty, it's gone with the wind.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's nothing, it's not faith.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, it's not faith.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: Just saying all those things and shouting and overshouting your situation, proclaiming your way out of it, it's not faith.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: You need to act on it.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: Because faith now is the substance of the things hoped for.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: If you if you are proclaiming it and if you are confessing it, then you should act on it.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_01: And if not, it's dead.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: Faith without works is by itself is dead and it cannot please God.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: Now, your heart is the place what determines whether you are saved or not, whether you are uh declared righteous before God or not, you know, and whether you are truly believing the things that you are saying.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: It all it all takes place in your heart because truly believing God is a hard matter.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: Let's turn to Romans 10.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see what it says here.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's really evident, evident, evidently, evidently, yes.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's a good word.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Romans 10.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, so that's not Romans.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: Romans 10 it says here, but what does it say?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: That is the word of faith that we preach.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: And so it is in where?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: It's in your heart, it's in your mouth and in your heart.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: But if it's only in your mouth and not in your heart, then your you know whatever is in your mouth is dead.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: It has to be in your heart as well.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: And so you confess with your mouth what you believe in your heart, because believing is a heart matter.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: Then it says, For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made until salvation.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: So if I'm just confessing, but I'm not really believing in my heart and acting on it, you know, then I won't be made righteous.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: I I won't be saved if I'm just saying these things.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's why this thing that people use, you know, this this concept that people use with outreach to let people to Jesus with this script.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: They have this little card with a script, you know, if you're gonna die today, do you know where you're gonna go?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: You wanna go to heaven, then just pray this little prayer with me.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: That is not the gospel.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: Those people are not saved.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry to say that.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: It has been all a waste.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: Now, okay, maybe you have sown a seed in their lives, you know, so in that matter, maybe it's not all a waste, but they are not saved based on what you told them.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: That if they're gonna just pray this little prayer, if they're just gonna repeat those little words, then they are saved because believing is a heart matter.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: The Bible teaches us that we need to repent, and repentance is that you change your mind, and you don't change your mind, just change your way of thinking, and you you you do that within your heart.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: You realize here in your heart, in your core being that man, I don't want to be that person anymore, I don't want to live like that, I cannot save myself, I cannot justify myself, I cannot, you know, um be, you know, getting to the destination that I believe that I'm called for.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: I cannot live that life that I believe that I'm destined for.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: I cannot save myself.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: I am a mess.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: I need a savior.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: I turn away and I believe that the only one that can save me from this miserable, wretched state that I'm in is Jesus, the Son of the Living God, who died for me and rose again.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: Now, you really got to believe that in your heart and then confess that with your mouth, and then you will be saved.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's not just repeat this little prayer.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: No, that's not the gospel.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: I am sorry, it's not the gospel, it is not good news.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: What you have shared to those people, you have deceived them.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: You need you can use it as a tool to lead them to the Lord, but you have to explain to them, and there are people that use this as a tool to lead them to the Lord, but they are explaining to them listen, you need to repent, you need to believe it in your heart, truly believe in your heart that what you are gonna say is true.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because when you believe in your heart and you confess with your mouth, then you will be saved.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: So repeat after me, but are not my words or the words of the scripts, but but it's what you believe in your heart.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: Now, if they bring it like that, then that's all good.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: But there are so many people they go out and just let them say what it's on the card.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: They don't explain anything about the heart, they don't explain anything about true repentance.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: That's not the gospel.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's not.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm an evangelist, so I get uh I can get really uh you know worked up because of those kinds of things, you know, because I want people to be really saved, to really come into the presence of the Lord.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: And so only confessing with your mouth will not save you.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's why, you know, we need to tell people that they need to be convinced in their hearts, that they need to pray from their heart, they need to believe in their hearts, because believing God is a heart matter.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: And faith manifests itself in his heart.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: So if you truly believe in your heart, it will cause salvation.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: If you truly believe in your heart, it will cause a supernatural rebirth.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: If you truly believe in your heart, it will cause a supernatural transformation, you know, because you are convinced in your heart, you are truly convinced in your heart that Jesus is who he says that he is, and therefore you are confessing him with your mouth, and therefore you will receive what you believe in your heart.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: And so you can also uh you know um confess, confess, confess, but then you know, not believe it in your heart, and so you won't receive anything.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: You just don't you just won't receive.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: You can only confess with your mouth until salvation if you truly believe those words in your heart.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: Look what it says in Mark 11.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, this is some this is some powerful stuff.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: Mark 11.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: We all know this.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know that Jesus says, have faith in God, for I say unto you that whoever speaks to the mountain do not believe that be cast in the ocean and do not believe in uh do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will happen, and will happen what you say.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore, whatever you pray, when you whatever you desire when you pray, you believe that you receive them and you will have them.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: But let me quote them, you know, like word for word, because it's very important.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Mark 11.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: And so it here it says, you know, uh from verse 22, I'm gonna read.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: This was after, you know, he had cursed the victory and that withered away, and they were surprised.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: And he says, Have faith in God.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_01: What some versions say, have the faith of God.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: But have faith in God, don't have faith in the victory.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: Don't have faith in your words alone, have faith in God.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: And that faith is faith now that takes place in your heart.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: And so have faith in God, for surely I say to you, now this I, red letter, is I am, the great I am, says to us that whoever, that means it doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what your background is, what your culture is, what the skin of your color is, where you you know, it doesn't matter.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever, you know, that is a child of God, whoever says to this mountain, and you know, a mountain can be any problem, any circumstance in your life can be a mountain, but that's not the point now.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: The point is that whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: Now I use this verse many, many times, you know, and I believe you can use it like that, you know, to prove the power of your words, because you have what you say.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: But there is a very small but yet so significant detail that we cannot forget to add to that.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_01: If you have what you say, you know, then we would have like a real serious problem because we are saying a lot of things that are not in line with the word of God, you know, and there's a lot of people cursing themselves without knowing that.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: But it says that you need to you need to believe it.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_01: You should not doubt in your heart.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: So if you just say to the mountain, be removed, be removed, be removed, be removed, that mountain ain't going anywhere.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_01: It will just sit, doesn't go anywhere.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: No, it says that you cannot doubt in your heart, but you have to believe that what you say will be done.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: Believe that that what you say is gonna come to pass.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Because God says that I can do that, and God is not a man that he should lie.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: I believe it in my heart, I believe it now, it's faith now, I'm acting on it, I speak against it, and I do not doubt, and then when I do not doubt in my heart, because believing is a hard matter, but believe in my heart that the things that I say will come to pass, then or will be done, then I will have whatever I say.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: So I will have whatever I say if I believe it in my heart.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: If I do not believe it in my heart, and I'm just saying it, then I won't have it.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: You have what you say when you believe it in your heart, because it is a hard matter, therefore, because that is true.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus says, verse 24 whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Now I'm gonna share also in this series on you know praying after the heart of the Father.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: Because there are a lot of people that come to Jesus and they are praying, they come to the Father, they are praying, but they don't really believe that they will receive them.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: They don't really believe that it will come to pass, they don't really believe that they can truly and actually have have them.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: They are saying the right things, but they don't really believe it in their hearts.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: They cannot see that they already have received that because that's what the Bible teaches.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: That if you believe that you receive it, then you will have it.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: But if you do not believe that you receive it, then you won't have it.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: You have to believe to receive, and if you doubt, you do without.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: Very basic, simple uh principles, but they are really, really true and very, very important.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I don't believe that we could use this, you know, and apply it to whatever we want, you know, because not everything that we want is what we need, and not everything we want is in the will of God, or it has been established and has been paid for in grace.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: And so I if I come to God and you know, and I believe for ungodly stuff, God won't give it to me because it's not good for me.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't believe you can apply this on whatever, in the sense of, you know, asking for ungodly stuff that are can be very damaging for you and it's not in the will of God or doesn't glorify God.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_01: I do not believe that.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I do believe this: that if you remain in him and he remains in you, and you will ask whatever you desire, you know, that the things that you will desire from God are things that are in his will.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because if I am in if I'm connected with my father, you know, and I'm focused on the things of above and I am connected with him and the things that I faithful and I believe for are in his will because I would never desire anything outside of his will.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I I I have sometimes desires that are not in his will.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: I have sometimes thoughts that are not in his will, but I'm not gonna pray to God if you want to make that come to pass.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm praying God to give me the strength to to uh stay away from that, to not give in to that, to to to you know um uh hold firm, stand against it.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm praying to the Father.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you that you're giving me the strength to to overcome this, what is attacking me right now, because this is not in your will.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm not gonna pray, oh Father, can you make this come to pass because that looks really awesome to me, you know?
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: No, come on, you know, and so I believe that you should apply this in the way that it is meant to.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, you know, you'll abuse that, and I don't believe that's from God.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: But you have to know for sure, you have to believe in your heart, and then you can have all the things that you desire because they're in the will of the Father, and then you can also move mountains and achieve the impossible.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_01: You see, Jesus says in Mark 10, 27 that all things are possible with God, but then he also says in Mark 9, 23 that all things are possible for who believe.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: So all things are possible for God for those who believe that all things are possible.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: For God.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: So for God all things are possible, but if you do not believe that all things are possible for God, then you won't see all things become possible with God.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if that makes any sense, but man, I'm telling you, you have to believe it in your heart, and then if you do not doubt in your heart, but you believe in your heart that the things that you are saying will happen, then you will see done and have whatever you said.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: Because if you believe it, you will receive it, and that believing you do in your heart because it's a heart matter.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 25:31
