• 0:01
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_01: Clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_01: 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_01: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_01: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: I am your host, Joan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the Word of God with you.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: 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 covering so much on the matters of the heart that it's too much to just recount.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: I would spend the whole episode on just recounting the things that I've been sharing on it.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: But basically, I spoke about the heart of the gospel, and then you know I came to another aspect of a hard matter, and that is believing, which I'm still covering right now.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: Believing is a hard matter.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: If you do not believe in your heart, you cannot have what you say.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: If you do not believe in your heart, you will not be saved.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: If you do not believe in your heart, you will not be called unto righteousness, you will not be called righteous in God's eyes, because believing is a hard matter.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the Bible says in Romans 10, and that if you believe in your heart and then confess it with your mouth, you will be saved.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Because with your heart you believe unto righteousness, and with your mouth you confess until salvation, but you can only confess that what you believe, because if you are confessing what you're not believing, then you will not receive what you are confessing.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's a mouthful.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: But like in Mark 11, you know, verse 22 until 24, you know, it says, Have faith in God, for surely they say unto you that whoever says to this mountain, be thou removed into and cast into the ocean, and do not doubt in their hearts, but believe that what they say will happen, they will have whatever they say.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now we can fly in on that verse, and it's been used like a hundred million different ways, you know, but it's just that you know, you need to believe in your heart and not doubt in your heart that will happen what you say for it to happen.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: You cannot have what you say if you do not believe it in your heart.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: And so I've been sharing on that, and then also, you know, that if you are double-minded, you know, then God can't give you, you know, what he wants to give you.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: He cannot uh let become manifest in your life what he already has placed on your account, what he already inputed to your account.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we are already blessed with all spiritual blessings.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: I am already blessed with the blessing of Abraham, but it can't become manifest in my life, it cannot flow, it cannot be become visible in my life because of the double-minded heart that I have.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Because I say that I believe God, but I also say that I believe, you know, my circumstances, you know, I know what God says, but you know, I know what God says about my finances, but you know, my bank account, but my boss, but the bill, but the situation.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm placing, you know, my circumstances above what God says.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: I am I'm not believing 100% that no matter what this says in the natural, God says, you know, so I will have what God says instead of what you know I say that my circumstances say.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm double-minded, and so I can't I cannot see manifest what is really true about you know my situation in the spirit.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: That God is my source and he's my provider, and he will never leave me nor forsake me, and I have never seen the righteous forsaken.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, um basically it's like you know, um, you've you believe this in your heart, but you also believe that in your heart.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: And because you believe two ways that can't go together, you know, you are you're becoming your faith in your heart, what you truly believe in your faith system, becomes a stumble block for the divine flow to flow freely to your life.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Man, that's a powerful truth.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, thank you for your word, and I, you know, thank you for your Holy Spirit that is prompting me to share what I need to share with the spectators, and I really pray it's going to be a blessing for them, and I give you all the praise in Jesus' name.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, uh the Bible says that we need to submit to God, we need to resist the devil, we need to draw near to God, and he will draw near to us here in James 4.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: It says in verse 8, cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your heart, you're double-minded.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: So, how do you purify your heart?
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: How do you make sure that your heart is not a stumble block, you know, for the things of God to become manifest in your life, that it's not a stumble block for truly believing God 100% in your heart without a shadow of a doubt?
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: How is that?
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: How can I make sure that there is no obstacle for me?
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Look what it says in 1 John 3.21.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: 1 John 3.21.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: 1 John 3.21 it says this.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence towards God.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And whatever we ask, we receive from him because we keep his commands and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: So, beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence towards God.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now, there is a very important key.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: If our heart is not condemning us, you see, God is not condemning us, he placed all judgment on uh Jesus, you know, on Christ.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: Christ, you know, um the chastisement of our peace was upon him.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: He drank the cup that we needed to drink, he died the death that we needed to die, he paid the price that we needed to pay.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: So God is not judging us anymore.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: You know, he's not judging us.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: We are judging ourselves in our hearts.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: And because we judge ourselves in our hearts, because there is condemnation, there is conviction, there is guilt and shame, we cannot receive from Him, from God, you know, what we need to receive from Him, because that is not a heart that is upright, clean, and purified to receive from God because you think that you can't receive, because you believe in your heart that there are so many things that you know are not right, and therefore you are judging yourself in your heart.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Man, I hope this does make sense to you, man, because this is really, really strong.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence to God that whatever we ask we will receive from Him.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: If our heart is not condemning us, so if your heart is condemning you, you won't receive from God.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: It is a stumble block if your heart is condemning you.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if your heart is not condemning you, you will have boldness and confidence towards God, and then you can receive whatever you pray for him, because there is no obstacle, there is no blockage, there is no stumble block of shame, guilt, and condemnation.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: There is nothing anymore between you and receiving from God, and you really need to believe that in your heart.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Then if you are not sure, if you are not convinced that you know, everything that God says about you, about his promises and his principles and whatsoever, that that you know is the ultimate truth.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: If you're not sure, 100% convinced in your heart, then that is called doubt.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, unbelief, which I believe is faith in something that is the opposite of what God says.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I believe that unbelief is.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Because unbelieving means you're not believing God, fully 100% convinced, faith now, that is the substance, but I believe in something else.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: That is the opposite of what God says in his word and his promises and all this kind of things.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: My unbelief in God is belief in something else, is faith in something else.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: That is double-minded mindness, um, yes, and double-hearted, and you know, um, if I believe therefore that, you know, God can't bless me because I have done this, because I am standing in that, because I still make mistakes here, and my heart is condemning me, you know, then I cannot receive from God because that's also a stumble block, because that's still double-minded.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: Man, I hope I make sense, man.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes English is like really trapping me, but you know, James says that he who doubts mustn't think that he will receive anything from God in James 1, 7 and 8.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: If you are doubting, you cannot receive from God because doubt is the enemy of faith.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: Look in James 1, verse 7 and 8.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: He is a double-minded, unstable man in all of his ways, unstable in all his ways.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man, let me read from verse 5.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: So you can ask whatever you want from God, he will give you liberty and without reproach, as long as it is in his will and you believe it in your heart and not doubt it, you know, and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: If you ask him, he will it will be given to you.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: But, verse 6, let him ask in faith, with no doubting.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: You see, if I ask God, you know, whatever I ask God, and I don't have any faith in my heart that he actually hears me and gives me what I ask from him, then why am I asking him in the first place?
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm not sure that he's gonna give it to me.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: You know, ma'am, Holy Spirit, I I've been, you know, I've been in situations, you know, um, for example, let's say that I'm gonna go to a person and I'm gonna ask if he can borrow me money, but I'm not sure if he's gonna ask it to me.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: That means doubting.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so if I'm not sure that he's gonna and then that he's gonna give it to me, why would I ask him in the first place?
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: I will only ask from those that I believe that they will borrow it to me.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: If I do not believe that they are gonna borrow it to me, then I'm not gonna ask them.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna make a fool out of myself and say, listen, can you borrow me some money?
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now the Bible says don't borrow but lend, amen.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: So don't get me wrong, you know.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: But in my old life, you know, people came to me for money, and you know, they knew that my answer would almost always be yes if I had it, you know.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I had a friend that would never ever borrow anything to anybody, even if he had more than enough, you know.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: I always called him cheap, you know.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: But he wouldn't borrow or give anything to anybody, and so he always had more than I had because I gave everything away and he kept everything.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: And people came to him asking him for money all the time as well.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I didn't understand that.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: Because, you know, if they would ask me and I would have it, I would borrow it to them.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to make a problem out of that, you know.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: But if they would come to him, you know, they they knew that he would say, No, get away, man.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna borrow you anything, you cheap bastard.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's what they would say.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry for my English.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, it's like, and so I would never ask anything to somebody that I'm not sure they're gonna give it to me, or I'm let's say I'm believing that they are able to do that for me, give it to me, or answer me with a positive answer.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna do that.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I have been mistaken, you know, believing that they would do it and they didn't, but that's different.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's the point that I'm trying to make is that if I'm not believing that they will or be able to do that for me and be willing to do that for me, then why would I even ask?
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Why would I ask God anything if I'm not sure that he also is able and willing to give it to me?
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Then I won't ask him.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why I'm not asking him for things that are outside of his will, because I know that he is not willing, you know, to do that for me.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, doubt is an enemy of faith.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: It is unbelief, believing in something else.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: And so he says, if anybody, you know, lacks wisdom in this matter, it talks about wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: But let him ask in faith with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, because he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: So you should become stable and you should have like a purified, upright heart that believes the things of God without any shadow of a doubt, that has faith now, because believing is a hard matter, and only a true believing heart that is free of condemnation can receive from God.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: So, now how can you make sure that your heart is not condemning you?
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Like we have read in 1 John 3.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: How can we make sure that our heart is not condemning us so that when we go to God we will receive everything that we ask from him?
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: How can we have that heart that does not condemn us?
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: By believing and knowing for sure in your heart, faith now, that is the substance of the things you hoped for, though believing in your heart, in your faith system, that you are now free of any condemnation.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Romans 8.1 says, There is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus, are you in Christ Jesus?
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: Then there is no more condemnation.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: You are in Christ, Christ is in you, God is in judging you, he placed all the judgment on Christ, and so there's no condemnation for me.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the handwriting that was testifying against me has been blotted, has been nailed at the cross, and my sin nature has been blotted out.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: I died to sin, I am I am dead to the law, you know, and I am free as a bird, and I and there is no condemnation from God towards me.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: Even if I still make mistakes, sometimes God is not judging me.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm judging myself.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: The Satan is attacking me and accusing me, but God is not judging me because that already has been placed on Jesus and I'm already have been forgiven, not only from the past, but also from the present and the future mistakes that I will make.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: Now, that doesn't give me a green light to go and do all that stuff.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even want to do that stuff.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I have the grace to not sin, but when I make a mistake or when I do something wrong, you know, I'm not gonna judge myself because I know that God is not judging me.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna thank him and honor him and praise him for the goodness and the grace in my life and that he's not judging me.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: And so therefore I know that I can still mess up now and just two seconds later pray and uh request something for my father and know that he hears me and that I will receive it because my heart is not condemning me.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Man, that's some powerful stuff.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: You need to know that God is interested in your heart.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: In 1 Samuel 16, verse 7.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: In 1 Samuel 16, verse 7, you know, it says that God doesn't look at the let me just try to find it quickly.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: 1 Samuel 16.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Here it says, you know, the Lord said to Samuel, do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: For the Lord does not see as man sees, for man look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: God doesn't look uh, you know, at who you um how do you say that in English?
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: God is not looking at what you are, he is looking at who you are, not in what you do, but why and how you are doing it.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: He is looking at your heart.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: You can shine on the outside and you know, and be like, you know, this squeaky, clean, perfect guy, you know, just doing everything perfect.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: And oh, he this guy is so amazing and he's so wonderful, and oh, look at him, you know, and you shine on the outside, but from the inside you're just rotten, dirty, stinky guy, you know, not have a really good heart, you know, and God doesn't look at the outside and say, Oh, yeah, I agree with you guys.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: No, he's looking at the inside and he says, That is not pleasing to my eye, you know, and because God is looking with different eyes than that man looks.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: And so the rest doesn't matter what you do.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you do something for God but your heart is far away from him, then all your work that you're doing are in vain.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: They are in vain.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: God looks at your heart, he's in he's more interested in your heart than that he is interested in what you can do for him.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know that?
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: That at least do what you do with a full, convinced, motivated, pure, upright, holy, clean heart towards him in everything you do, where you believe him and trust him no matter what, that has faith now, no matter what.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: You know, at least, you know, if you do like a little thing, then at least do it with a right heart, because God sees your heart.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and so when you are things, when you are doing things for God, are you doing them out of obligation or are you doing them because out of works or being good enough?
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because those works doesn't please God.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: God wants you to do those, wants to do work wants you to do works of faith where you are um showing through your actions what you truly believe in your heart, and that there are you know good works of faith.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so if you take, for example, you know, like giving, yes, if you give to God, do you give out of condemnation or out of obligation?
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like if I'm not gonna give and if I'm not gonna do this, then you know people are gonna look at me and you know, they're not, or you know, God thinks that I'm not worthy, you cannot bless me or anything, you know, or you give out of necessity that you need to get something from God.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm giving this to you, so you need to give me something back.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm giving you one, you give me, you need to give me a hundred, you know.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: Is it, you know, why are you giving to God?
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: What is your true heart motivation why you are giving to God?
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Because there are a lot of people giving and they never see any financial breakthroughs because they don't give with the right heart.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Either it's out of you know, uh self-centeredness, you know, even if it's out of their own interest, and you know, it's not selfish, selfish, selfless, it's not selfless, but selfish, you know, and um, you know, and uh or they give out of obligation, legalism, you know, I need to give, otherwise, God can't bless me, you know, and all that kind of stuff, you know.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: They give to earn the favor of God.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you do that, then you know that money is like 100% for sure gone.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, no return on that, my brother, my sister.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry to say that.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you give from a surrendered heart, that you know that God is your source, that he is your provider, and that he will take care of you, and you just want to worship him because of who he is, and you want to worship him with everything that you are, also with your money, then that's the only way that you should give to God.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: That's the only right way that you can give to God with a right heart.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: 2 Corinthians 9, verse 12 says, For the administration of this service, like giving and be generous, not only supplies the needs of the saints, but it also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Now, giving in faith with a generous heart that is motivated to give, only to worship and not to receive, or what God can do for you, or to be show that you are good enough, or you know, to try to earn anything with God or get in right standing with God, you know.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: But just because you purely want to worship God with everything you have and trust Him with everything you have, and you say, Lord, the best that you have given me, I give Him back to you because I trust that you are my source, you know, you take care of me and I love you, and I just want to worship you, you know.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: If you do that, you know, man, God will tremendously bless you because that's the kind of heart that God is looking in a giver.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: He's looking at a heart that is complete and ready and willingly to surrender all because he trusts God, he believes God now, and he has his right, his heart right, you know, concerning giving, because it's a heart matter.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when King David and the people, you know, uh were gathering all this stuff, you know, to build the Temple of Solomon in 1 Chronicles 29.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: Amazing story.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have time to read it all now, but just go there.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: They had gathered billions together.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: David had given off his own treasury, you know, 7,000 talents of gold, and I don't know how many talents of silver and all that stuff, you know, and he had gathered like you know, billions.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh, you know, uh he asked the people who is willingly also to consecrate himself today on the house of the Lord, you know, and then they willingly gave I don't know how many billions together also.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: It was like tremendous, it was like amazing.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, look what it says in 1 Chronicles 29, verse 11.
• 20:54

• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: For all things come from you, and of your own we have given it to you.

  SPEAKER_00: For we were aliens and pilgrims before you, as were all our fathers, our days on the earth were shadow and without hope.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm teaching on that in other teachings on one gospel.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: But David says, I know you test the heart, I know that you know why and how somebody gives to you.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I give with a sincere and an upright heart.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: And then also the people gave with a willing and upright heart.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the word here that they say that they have given them this upright heart that I have willingly offered, and I've seen that your people here willingly offer to you.

  SPEAKER_00: This word willingly means shalem.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: And shalem comes from the word shalom.

  SPEAKER_00: And shalem means that your heart is ready, it is whole, it is it is quiet, it's been made ready to give with a complete surrender to the King of Kings, to the Lord of Lords, to Jesus Christ, to give to the kingdom of God, to give to God, you know, with this kind of heart.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, it is because you believe that he is your source and that everything is his and nothing that you possess is yours.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: And so you know, when he has your heart, he has everything you have.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: If God has your heart, he has everything you have.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: Man, that's powerful.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: So give to God with an upright heart.
• 23:55

• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you say, I'm gonna give God with all of my heart, but then you're gonna give grudgingly, you know, you're gonna give in greed, you know, when you're gonna do, you know, it's it's got to do with your heart, my brother, my sister.

  SPEAKER_00: It's this has to be right.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: The motivation has to be right.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_00: You have to believe God, you have to have faith now, you need to know for sure that he is everything that he says that he is, that he can do whatever he promised to do, and it will surely come to pass, that he's not a man that he should lie, that you are who he says that he says that you are, and that you have what he says that you have, and that you can do what he says that you can do, and that he is not a man that he should lie.

  SPEAKER_00: You should not have any doubt in your heart, you should not have any worry, any anxiety in your heart.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: Just believe God with a pure and upright heart.
• 25:34
