Speaker: You are vi victorious. You are blessed, not a curse. You are not cursed. You are blessed. from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet. Peace, it is your portion. You only experience peace because he loves you. He prophesies a peace over your life.
Speaker: No trouble. Yeah. No discouragement. He said, peace over your household. Peace over your children. So be encouraged because he loves you and he has a plan and purpose for your life. So right now,
Speaker: Like I said to you, I was telling you, you know, and don't talk yourself out of God's blessings. Don't focus too much on what didn't go well. You know, human nature life will be so negative. yeah You know what i'm saying? My prayer was not answers and God is not listening to my prayer. Who told you he's not listening to your prayer? He heard you.
Speaker: Can you believe? Don't let the devil talk you talk you into this nonsense. Yeah. He has a plan for your life. amen You are in his mind. That's the reason why he sent Jesus. So I'm so blessed in this time of season to talking to you about, you know, your connection with God, your relationship with him.
Speaker: Yeah. He has a plan for your life. So I'm so blessed to be alive in such such time as this. and I thank God I wasn't born in the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. yes you know You know, I thank God, you know, i i came on a perfect timing and. And I don't have to do anything to be qualified for the blessing. And He loves me before even I came. And you know the good news is, you know, God is blessing you because of the covenant that God made with for Abraham.
Speaker: You know, I thought about, you know, Isaac. I know sometimes we read the scriptures, we don't really, yeah you know, we try to bring our human mind into the scriptures. Some us have allowed the scripture to speak to us. Look, the Bible says,
Speaker: you know when when Isaac was commended by God you know he sowed seed you know he he he sowed multiple seed and God was pleased with it but you know heaven said made a powerful statement that I'm gonna ask you know he said something very powerful and he said okay Isaac I'm going I'm blessing you know because of you i like that statement Isn't it because God is now pleased before you know him following the instruction, but he's trying to tell Isaac and he's is saying the same thing to you that I am i am blessing you because of my covenant that i I have made with Abraham and you know he says the same thing to us said to ah yeah
Speaker: And you are part of that blessings. Yeah. You know, when God spoke to Abraham, he only made a covenant of blessing, not curses. it Moses who brought that curse into the equation.
Speaker: yeah and and that they talk Because of the law. Yeah. you know know You know, if you look at it, it's Moses who brought, you know, those law into that equation. You know, the curse is all of that. But the covenant that God made with Abraham is a curse. It is ah a covenant of blessings. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: So you are blessed. They say because of Jesus, we are the seed of Abraham. yeah Okay, the seed, singular, the seed of Abraham.
Speaker: So what he's telling you that Jesus, truly Jesus is the seed of Abraham. And anyone that comes except Jesus is part of the blessing. yeah So peace is your portion.
Speaker: Joy, it is yours. Favor, it is yours. Blessings upon blessings, it is yours. You want to be healthy? Yes, you are qualified to be healthy and live divine life. Not because you you have the best doctors or or you ate healthy food who told you that. Which is good to do. Yeah, it's good to do. it The Bible said they ate manna and they died. Jesus, anyone that eat my flesh,
Speaker: and drink my blood will never die. well I like that. So, you know, trusting God or trusting, you know, ah our your Heavenly Father, that is the only way out of all of this.
Speaker: You can do, you can try your best, but you have to make sure that you putting you put your trust in God. Yeah. Yeah, and I think what you were saying earlier is it's important to know that every single person God created for a reason and for a purpose. I love Ephesians 2, verse 10. It says,
Speaker: verse ten it says for we are god's masterpiece he created us a new in christ jesus so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago so in other words long before you were here god had planned for you to do good works and so when you step into that relationship with jesus he already has a plan for your life things that he wants you to accomplish that's why he makes you brand new and restores you to the place and with god that you're Called to be we're now seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. So what the word says we're seated with him and he has a plan for your life For it doesn't matter if your parents planned on you God planned on you It says long ago before you even were yeah, God had decided the plan that he has for your life Yeah, so you know
Speaker: I thank God that God has a plan for my life. Amen. You know, um also, this is my own experience. Maybe some of you can relate to this. I have noticed something for a long time. People said this, that, you know, in this life, maybe in in and this land, okay, or for...
Speaker: you know, ah greatness. us yeah United States is ah one of the is it been one of the beautiful countries. And they say you can be whatever you want. yeah You know, i disagree with that statement.
Speaker: Yes, you can be whatever you want, and you can be, you know, don't go to the out doubt that that the opposite. I believe you can become, you know, anything.
Speaker: that God wants because when God is removed out of the equation, you'll be always a failure. Sometimes people make that statement without leaving God out.
Speaker: You can be whatever you want. But are you living your life for yourself are you living your life for God? Well, and I think there's no fulfillment when you're living for yourself. Yeah, there is life. Yeah, when people run after wealth or position, if if you're not living for Jesus and you're not doing what God created you to do, you never you never feel fulfilled. There's always that void on the inside of you. I think that's why you see so many people get caught up in alcohol and different addictions. You know, you see these successful people or they become workaholics because they're trying to fill that empty void that only Jesus can fill. Wow.
Speaker: So my question our question, our question for you, who are you living your life for? Yeah. He shows you he already he's already loves you. No question about that.
Speaker: He says peace over you, over your life. Wow. And I received that peace. And Jesus said, i am the peace, the prince of peace. He gives peace, no trouble.
Speaker: It says, if you have trouble, give me your problem and I'll fix it for you. What an amazing invitation. It says, give me your trouble and I'll fix it for you. Now in this holiday season, you know, in this Christmas season, maybe you may not have other means to provide everything that you desire to have for your children.
Speaker: Don't worry. Don't let that talk you out of, ah you know, God's best. Trust Him. You don't have to give anything to anybody anyway. No, sometimes that's what it is. That is one of the pressure. yeah Sometimes we feel like ah we have to do something. Now, every time that you feel you feel like you have to do anything to please mankind, don't do it.
Speaker: Make sure it comes from your heart. Yes. okay it is an act of love is in acts of compassion that's how it's supposed to be yeah so and that's the things that sometimes you we you got to make sure that you you don't allow the pressure this is the pressure from the society to talk you out of ah you know the essence of of life you know they talk you out of god's blessings So sometimes you can easily become a complainer because you don't have what you want to do. If you're not careful, you can begin to complain and complain and you don't, you is how it's difficult for to unleash your faith and to trust God. You know, he says, call on me and I will answer you.
Speaker: What ah are the things that you are going through now? Maybe it's your health situation. You're feeling sick in your body. Now maybe, maybe, you know, your relationship is not where it's supposed to be.
Speaker: Whatever it is the case, maybe you are, you don't have, you or you don't know your purpose of of, living. You are living empty life. I'm telling you. you know what I'm saying? There is an answer for your situation.
Speaker: It's Jesus only. Okay. Or people say, how much you want Him? And go after Him and ask Him. He's a good father. He says to us, my children knows my voice and the voice of the stranger they will not follow.
Speaker: So I'm going encourage you. One of the easy ways to know the voice of God is through this Bible. Yeah. That's why in this holiday season, don't be so crazy busy running over the place and without spending time in this book.
Speaker: This is the answer to your crisis. I'm going to encourage you. I can never leave this Bible. You know, I got to read this book. and This is my life. This is your life.
Speaker: Yeah, that's the way out of all every crisis of life. Yeah, and when you read the Bible, don't read it like the newspaper. Yes. Just to get through it. You know, something that I like to do is I'll take one or two books of the Bible and I'll read it over and over and over and over again and really dig into what's there because it's it would be better if you had one scripture that you had a revelation of and you really understood and you applied than if you just read a ton of things like you're reading the newspaper. No, get the Word of God on the inside of you because the Word of God is a lamp unto your feet. It's a light to your path. So, it will order your footsteps. Sometimes when we don't know what to do, if we're filled with the Word of God and the Spirit of God, then we can be confident that God is ordering our footsteps that the Word of God, which is Jesus, right? Jesus is the Word, is is guiding us because we filled ourselves with the Word. Amen. Amen.
Speaker: Okay, so i find I just find out and one of the amazing scriptures in the Bible. You know, in all the scriptures in the Bible is so yummy, beautiful. If you receive it, you know, I love this. You know, there's a, the Bible said, you know, I'm going read, I think ah first Peter, first book of Peter, Peter, Pierre. i's yeah That's ah in French.
Speaker: And now chapter three, how do you say it in Spanish? Peter? I don't know. I have to look at it up. Oh, okay. I thought you speak Spanish, no? Si, yo hablo español. Okay, all right. Okay.
Speaker: All right. First, I think it's Pedro. Pedro. I'm pretty sure, but let me make sure. Yeah, I think it's Pedro. think it is. That's my, I know, I know that. Okay. All right. I was just testing you because I want to make sure you so you you remember all of that. Okay. Yeah, it is Pedro. Pedro. Okay. All right. First, Peter chapter 3, verse 12.
Speaker: verse twelve Twelve is the number of the kingdom. All right, verse 12. Listen to this. You know, the Bible says, For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous.
Speaker: I like this. And his ears are open unto their prayers. But the face of the Lord is against them that will do evil.
Speaker: no why You know, there is um' umm it says, see, like I ask this question, if you have been praying for something, the Bible says God's eyes is upon you.
Speaker: listen to this that's why i'm telling you don't be discouraged in this season this is one of the you know uh this is a season that you need to thank him for his grace look since january until now you're still alive thank you for that yeah okay I believe that you went through some of the problems since January, but you're still alive today, thanking for while giving you the victory, the power to overcome every temptation that you have faced in your life.
Speaker: so they said the eyes of the lord is over the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer god is not dumb he he can hear your prayer amen and and you know there's so many scriptures you know for sake of time and uh i'm gonna encourage you get excited that's it don't let the pressure of the society to drive you crazy yeah period that's the message If there's anything that you have to remind yourself, I said to you, I believe the Spirit of God is telling you, don't allow the pressure of the society, the pressure of this life to talk you out of God's blessings.
Speaker: Don't allow it.
Speaker: Don't allow it. Stand strong. Be strong in the Lord and the power of the Holy Ghost. He has heard your prayer.
Speaker: His eyes is on you. and So that means that God's spotlight is on us. I like that. yeah Everywhere you go, He's displaying you as His trophy. yeah Another scripture says, you know, we are the trophy of God.
Speaker: That means the book of Corinthians, everywhere we go, God loves to brag on us. I like that. You know, God is bragging on you. He is telling you, son, my daughter, got you in my in the palm of my hand.
Speaker: And everything is going to be all right. But sometimes because we we are deaf, to his voice, we did it we don't know. We can't hear what he's telling us, how God is speaking about you before his holy angels. And we begin to complain and worry about our situation. You know, worry is the very demonic.
Speaker: is from the pit of hell. So don't let that thing, that situation, you know, steal your joy. You know, something else I have observed, one of the, what you remember, this is just life, it is a spiritual warfare is taking place between good and and evil. Okay? Now, I have observed something.
Speaker: The scripture, or another scripture says, the joy of the Lord is what? Our strength. our My strength, your strength. When you are feeling weak, you can't do anything.
Speaker: alright You can't even move, do anything. You want to know be in one place. But it says the the joy, the joy, the joy. Irrespective of that see if that that situation, you got to cultivate joy in your life.
Speaker: It is a fruit of the Spirit. You got to be joyful. in the midst of the chaos, in the midst of that trouble, in the midst of that predicament, you can be joyful. Yes.
Speaker: Because God's, the eyes of the Lord, they His eyes upon you. His spotlight is on you. Yes. Don't be discouraged. Don't become the result of your enemies.
Speaker: the product what they want you to become so because that's what I have to I was telling you if an enemy want to attack people if he can steal the joy out of your life he will strike you yeah so watch over that yeah and first Thessalonians is I just wanted to share a scripture that goes along with that first Thessalonians 5 16
Speaker: It says, always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. So you have to make a choice to be joyful. And here's the thing that I've learned is that.
Speaker: People that don't have joy are selfish. And what I mean, you may say, I'm not selfish, but you are so focused on your own problems and your own things. You have allowed it to steal your joy. But if you would be focused on praying, you would be focused on thanking God for everything that is going well, for all the things you do have, that you have a place to live, that you have clothes. that you have food to eat. There are so many things to be thankful for, that you have family, that you have friends.
Speaker: You know, we could go on on on and on. Even if all you had was Jesus, that's more than enough to be thankful for, right? If you can focus on, man, I'm not going to hell. I have Jesus as my Savior. He paid the price for me. If you can focus on that, if you can focus on other people and meeting other people's needs, you'll be joyful. And that's why he said,
Speaker: He says, always be joyful. And one the next two things he says, never stop praying because joyful people are prayerful people, right? Because we know that we have this confidence that if we ask anything to the Father in the name of Jesus, he hears us. And if he hears us, we have those petitions which we've requested, right? That's what the word says. And then it says, be thankful in all circumstances. because a thankful person is a joyful person. Amen, amen. Wow. And my name is Pastor Doji, and I approve this message. And you know, no.
Speaker: 100% accurate because look we have to practice what we preach for example recently you know you know and I was not happy about something you know it is easy for me to focus on what didn't go well yeah and talk about it but I don't know if for some reason and you know Holy Spirit just hey having the Holy Spirit is so beautiful Holy Spirit just remind me you know about what he did and i thought about the month for November you know we serve over 7,000 people receive you know people receive Thanksgiving meal or Thanksgiving pantry what a testimony yeah So I began to see, I have to be the one practice, you know, practice the scriptures. So I'm not a hypocrite. I preach. I got to practice what I preach, what i'm we are telling you today.
Speaker: So I began to count my blessing. yeah I said, Father, thank you. That, you know what I'm saying? And, you know, 7,000 people receive. You provided that the money to buy the turkeys.
Speaker: I began to, i but you know, I began to take my time to go by details and blessing his name yeah for his faithfulness. Wow. Yeah, we had something happen this, ah was it last week? The week of Thanksgiving. yeah And you know what? My response was, all things work for our good. You know, that's what I told my husband. I was like, you know, I believe that.
Speaker: This is going to be a blessing to us. All things are working out together yeah for our good. for good So be encouraged. This Christmas season, it is a setup for from heaven to lavish his blessings on you. So don't worry about, I didn't have this, i didn't have, you know. What do you have in your hand?
Speaker: You know, Moses. See, I don't want to start preaching another message. This is so beautiful. You know, and when Moses prays, he asks questions. God said, what do you have? Moses said, I have this stupid stick in my hand.
Speaker: But what didn't know, you know, God says, i can use that stupid stick in your hand. And look what happened. From that stupid... Well, the same thing with the widow. Remember when she came to a Elijah and said, yeah the creditors are coming. yeah It was what she had in her house that God multiplied. So let me encourage you, forget about yourself now.
Speaker: Find something in your house. And let God use that thing to be a blessing to somebody. And you will see bla if tremendous harvest comes in your way. So thank you so much for your time. We pray that this Christmas season, that you know, this Christmas season will will be one of the best, best Christmas ever. Yes. May tremendous blessings rest upon your life.
