Full Transcript

Come, we will see you in the temple. And there nobody will attack you. Listen, let all the powers of hell fight us.

When you return to your places, don't think you are going to have such a wonderful ride. There will be so many things pitted against you. A man's enemy shall be that of his own household.

But what is your attitude? Have you got the attitude of one who can be characterized as the Bible calls us, more than conqueror? Conquering your lust, conquering the flesh, the world, and the devil. See, the Christianity around us has not even risen above some of these heathen practices. Is there any big thief here? A man who has taken a dowry, robbed his father-in-law, return every penny.

Save your soul. What a terrible thing. A Christianity which does not rise above the world and its glamour and glitter.

Whom are you following? Are you following the one who had no place to rest his head? I have already spoken to you about deluxe missionary work. Absolutely worthless. Cuts no eyes.

But God wants to turn us into more than conquerors. Are you conquering fear? Or are you a captive of your fear? Are there any whispered fears? I do not know. I have no fear.

God has not given us the spirit of fear. But the spirit of love, of power, and of a sound mind. That is God's work.

So God said to me, God's work was not hindered. Thirteenth verse, Therefore was he hired that I should be afraid and do so and sin. So this fellow was hired to say such things.

You will be not exposing yourself to any danger. Everything will be fine and so on and so forth. This fellow was hired to say such things.

Some people here still appear to have some fear about people who do black magic. And they feel someone is attacking them. No, this is a common thing in many parts of the world today.

Oh, I know a man who said to me, Oh, my mother-in-law was practicing sorcery. And he saw black magic against her. And you know he had been voted as the best body in that nation.

Strongest and best looking body. But this was his fear. It was killing him.

My dear people, are you going away from here with this kind of fear? When God says, fear not, I will uphold you with the right arm of my righteousness. If the right arm of God is with you, does it not mean anything to you? If the right arm of God is with you, does it not mean anything to you? Do not sin. By being cowardly and fearful in your heart.

Put the blood of Jesus Christ upon you. And you will have no fear. The sixteenth verse says, And it came to pass that when all our enemies heard, You see, the wall was finished in 52 days.

You know, when so many builders build a wall, what is the normal thing that happens? You know, if you build, someone builds next to you and you are building, what happens? Suppose the wall does not synchronize.
