  Speaker 1: For unto us was the gospel preached as well as
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: unto them. But the word preached did not profit them
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: because their faith did not feed on the word.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: The word of God is the life support of our faith.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We live by the word of God. Blessed be God
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 13, reading
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: from verse 5. Let your conversation be without covetousness, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: be content with such things as ye have. For he
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: hath said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Remember them which have ruled over you. who have spoken
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: unto you the word of God, whose faith follow, considering
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the end of their conversation. Considering the end of their what? Conversation.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Faith Feed episode 203. Considering the end of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the conversation. Considering their conversation. There are two things that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: God proposed for man when created. And it's the fact
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that man was meant to be a communication being and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: an intentional being. That's why it says in Genesis 1, 26,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that let us make man. Let us make man. Let us.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And then let him have dominion. So you see the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: product of communication and intentionality bestilled upon the template that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: has been built to execute. This template many times isn't
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: successful because we do not consider the end of a conversation.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: There is a purpose for why you exist.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: There is a reason why God has brought you to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the face of the earth. And in order for you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to consider the end of the conversation, you must understand
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the importance of communication and intention. This is the major
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: reason why many people, many believers are carried away with
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: diverse doctrines. If you read further, the Bible says in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: verse 8, Jesus is the same yesterday, today. Verse 9,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be not carried about with diverse and strange doctrines, for it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Is a good thing that the heart.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: is established with grace and not with meat, you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: where it is profitable. To there that have been occupied,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: meat means the law, the practices, you know, and all that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We are not saying that the law is bad, no.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We are saying that when the focus is moved from Jesus,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: remember I begin and say, Jesus is the same yesterday
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and today or forever. When the focus is moved, when
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we are trying to modify the personality and identity of Christ,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it becomes an error. The gospel message cannot change anything.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The emphasis of the gospel cannot change. And if we
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: understand and get this right, we can order, we can
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: make sure that our communication and our intention is right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Because once they are right, the end of the conversation
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: will be of the will of God. So the Bible
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is saying that we should remember them that have, that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: means there is a tendency to forget who have laid
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the foundation, who are spiritual coverings, who are spiritual figures
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: over your life. It is you have the tendency toward
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: forget them. That's why it gives us an emphasis on
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: remembering them, the people who have ruled over us, considering
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the end of their conversation.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: That means there is an end matter.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We must pay attention to the intention and the communication
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of their mannerism. What is this conversation we are talking about?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Galatians chapter 1, Paul speaking, says, Verse 13, For ye
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have heard of my conversation, mark it, you have heard
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of my conversation, which was in the time past in
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Jews' religion, That's how I persecuted the church and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: wasted it and all that. Now understand, that means my
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: conversation was an action. Understand this, your conversation is an action.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's why I say your action is a product of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: your communication and intention.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Follow me.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Your actions, which Paul is describing as a conversation, which
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: is the conversation that we are trying to consider, is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a product of what? Communication and what? The intention of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a man. Philippians chapter 1 verse 27 says, Only let
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: The gospel of Christ. That whether I come and see
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: striving together for the faith of the gospel. He said,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: let your conversation becometh, as of what? The gospel of Christ.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Bringing it into what we are talking about. Let your actions,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your communication, and your intention be as what? Becoming the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: gospel of Christ. Your actions communicate and they reveal your intention.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So your conversation is not just your communication. Your conversation
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is also your intention. What is revealed from what?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Within you. So that means we are meant to pay
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: close attention, consider.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: We are meant to pay attention to the people that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we follow, their conversation, the communication of our leaders, of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the people that have rule over us, mentors. We are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: meant to pay attention to them and not just carry
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: their words.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, because, no, we are meant to.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Consider, consider, considering the end of their conversation. Yes, because
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: many people can have good intentions. but wrong communication. And
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: once you have wrong communication, everything scatters away. The same
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: thing with the open. Someone can have good communication, but
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: wrong intention. And once one side is wrong, the conversation,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the end of the conversation is what has been altered.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: 1 Peter 1, verse 15. But as he which called
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you is holy, that's God that called you is holy,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: be ye also holy in all, not some, not few,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in all manner of conversation. Now, there are four key
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: things we must consider to consider.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: The end of what? A conversation.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians 1, verse 12. For our rejoicing is this,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the testimony of our conscience. Mark the word conscience. That
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: in simplicity, number one, simplicity. And godly sincerity. Number two, sincerity.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Not with fleshly wisdom. Number three, wisdom. But by the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: grace of God. Number four, grace. We have had our
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: conversation in the world and more abundantly to you all. Now, see,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the first thing we must consider is the simplicity of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the mannerism. The manner of the conversation. Remember, conversation is what?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Communication and intention.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: The simplicity. What is simplicity? That's humility. Not self-seeking. Singleness
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of heart. The next is sincerity. What's sincerity? Truthfulness. That
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is cleanness of heart. Pure.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So in as much as you're not self-sick, you also
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have to be truthful. When the Bible says purify your
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: soul by obeying the truth, you have to learn that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: system of what?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Godly sincerity. Number three, the wisdom of God. Wisdom. The
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: fear of the Lord is the beginning of what? Wisdom.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So seeking the wisdom of God. James 1, if any
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of you lack wisdom, you should ask. So you have
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to consider James 3, verse 13.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Who is a wise man? So what are the characteristics
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: of a wise man? He says, let him show.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So let this wise man, if you know you're wise,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: if you know you have the wisdom of God, you say,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: show out of a good conversation. Remember what we talked about,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that is conversation. Out of conversation, his works with meekness
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of wisdom. Then the next one is grace of God.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So you need the spirit of grace. That means you
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: must not be judgmental. When it comes to it, you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: must not... It doesn't mean you will not have discernment.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: He that is spiritual has judged all things, but he
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: himself is judged of no man. That is totally different
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: from having a judgmental spirit. Remember, Jesus said, judge not
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: so that you will not be judged. He's talking from
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a place of people that have judgmental spirit and they
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: exist all around us, even some believers.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So remember.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Number one, simplicity, humility, sincerity, truthfulness, wisdom, fear of God,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and the grace of God. You can be able to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: consider effectively the end of what? Any conversation. Remember what
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: conversation is. I remain the faith campaigner of Christ. Remember,
• 8:56

  Speaker 1: your waters to be stirred. The Lord lifts up the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: light of His countenance upon you. Blessed be God and
