 Okay, welcome back everyone to our second lecture on faith, BC 111. We're going to take some time just to answer some of the questions and then we will move forward. So there's a question here from Krisha. If you know God has given a clear direction, but our faith gets disturbed as we get scared of unknown and end up taking a different direction, does it mean God will be upset with us? How to fix it and come back in faith? All right, so sometimes this happens because maybe we get afraid or we're scared, we may not go in the way God wants us to go. Remember that God is always our Father. He's always our Father. And we may make mistakes, but God is bigger than our mistakes. So it's not like, that's why he's God. We may make mistakes and God is always bigger than our mistakes. As long as we go back to him and say, God, I'm sorry, I should have gone that way, but I was scared. I didn't want to go. I went this way. Please get me back on track. He will get us back. So God is bigger than our mistakes. He can fix it. God is greater than time. He can accelerate things. He can make up for lost time. Right? So God can do that. In Joel chapter 2, I think it's verse 26 or 27, he says, I will restore the years which the locus has eaten. So God can restore time. Our times are in his hands. Psalm 31 verse 15. Our times are in his hands. So he controls that. So the answer to your question, Krisha, is all we need to do is to come back to God. Say, Lord, I know I made a mistake or I didn't do what I was supposed to do, whatever that situation is, we acknowledge that before God. And now God, please get me back on track and God will do that. Sometimes getting back on track make take a little bit of time because it just depends on the situation. But God will restore. God will bring things back. And God is greater than our situation. Okay. Hope that answered your question. All right. Okay. I can't hear. I think we need a mic for the class. Can we exercise our faith practically in a practical way in? Okay. So can we exercise our faith practically? So you mean like as while you are in Bible college? Is that what you're asking or in this world? Oh, can we exercise faith practically in this world all the time? Right? So in every situation, in everything we do in life, we exercise faith practically. So you and I, we, so the question that was asked by one of our students here in class was can we exercise our faith practically? Right? So I'm just giving an answer to that. So the thing is in every situation, you know, we must choose to act in faith. You know, suppose example, suppose you're not feeling good, you feel sick in your body. Right? At that moment, two things. One is exercise your faith. And then secondly, you do what you need to do practical. That means, okay, you go lie down or your rest or whatever, you do that practically. You're taking care of your health. You're not pushing your body. But at the same time, exercise faith. You say, in Jesus' name, I speak to this sickness. I command you to leave. My body is a temple of God. So you use your faith. So even in a small, in a thing like that, you're facing with your face with sickness, you exercise your faith, but you do what you have to do also practically because God has given us understanding to take care of our physical bodies. Now, of course, there could be big things that you, you know, you may have to deal with in life. You use your faith in every situation. Example, if it comes to money, you use your faith for money. Right? Or for example, okay, right now, right now, we are, okay, there was a problem with our central location. So we had to find a place. So we finally got a place. But now I'm using my faith. I said, God, we're starting an eight o'clock service. We're going to do a 1030 service. I want to see the whole full for both services. So I'm using my faith for that. Right? So practically, right now, how are we going to see the whole full and both services? One is, of course, we had to do our work. That is, we have to go do all those things. The practical side is there. But in the spiritual side, I use my faith. So Isaiah chapter 60 is a big chapter. So I was meditating it because God said, Arise, so I have to base my faith on the Word of God. So I base my faith on Isaiah 60. He said, the Lord will arise on you. His glory will be seen on you. Then people will come. So that's how I'm building my faith. This I'm doing during my prayer time. In my prayer time, I use that. So God, I believe I'm going to see the whole full of both services, eight o'clock service. I want to see the whole full thing. And then I'm believing God. So God, I want to reach one million people in the city of Bangalore. I want to see thousands of churches raised up all across India. So for all those things which are yet to be done, practically, right? I'm using my faith. So like that for so many things that, whether there are small things or that there are big things, we have to use our faith. So in every, in area, while I was a college student, and I can share many stories, but while I was a college student, when I needed money to pay for my tuition, use my faith. When I needed to come out of a difficult situation, use my faith. When I needed to travel on mission trips, I didn't have money to pay for those things. I used my faith. So during my college years, that's how I used to use my faith. You know, for all these practical things I needed from God, so use my faith. And then, you know, so different seasons of life, whatever situation you're facing, you've got to use your faith for those situations. Okay. So there are lots of, lots of practical situations where we will have to use our faith. Thanks. Yes, go ahead. Another question. Okay. Very interesting question. So there's a question here from one of our students in class. He says, can we change God's will by faith? Interesting. Now, generally speaking, the answer is no, meaning when we're talking about God's plan for the human race, God's plan for things that he wants to do, those are things we cannot change. So we have a lesson, I think later on, called the boundaries or the perimeters of faith, that means what faith cannot do. So faith cannot change God's will. Faith cannot change somebody else's will. That means I cannot use my faith to control another person, you know, because that person's will is, that's independent of my faith. So there are boundaries to faith. We will talk about it in that lesson. So in general, the answer is no, God, you know, we cannot we cannot change God's will for the human race. We can't do that. But what we do see is that we can change God's mind about a matter. For example, suppose a person is living a very reckless life, and we find this in the Bible, especially in God's dealing with Israel, God said, I'm going to destroy them. Moses says, God, don't please, don't please forgive. That's okay, Moses, because you're praying, I will forgive them. So in that sense, right, even though the people deserve judgment, because somebody was praying or interceding, standing before God, God said, because you're praying, because Moses said, okay, I will not, I'll give another chance. So in that sense, we can do that's what prayer and intercession will do when we pray for people, intercede for people. But the overall purpose of God, we can't change the plan of God for the human race. That's the will of God that will be established. But in these matters, the mind of God on certain things, we've got calls us into partnership and we can do that, especially through intercession and prayer. Okay, all right, let's see now. Another question here, Surya, I am having so much of faith that prayer for life. What should I have to keep focused, whether on faith or on prayer, for God's reply? Okay, I think I understand the question. The question is, I'm having a lot of faith, but maybe, so he's saying faith is stronger than life of prayer. What should I pay attention to? Should I focus on faith or on prayer to get God's answer? Here's how I would respond to that question. See, all these are important things. I mean, faith in God's prayer and intercession is also very important. So you're doing a full course on prayer and intercession. So all these are important. Now, when we're dealing with the situation, we must exercise faith. Faith is necessary. Prayer without faith is useless because Jesus said, in many places, I'll quote example, Matthew 21, verse 22, whatever you ask in prayer, believing you will receive. So prayer always has to be in faith. Prayer without faith is empty, is useless. So we've got to have faith in God and when you pray, you pray believing prayer. You pray with faith in God. It's not just making lots of words for God. It has to come out of a heart of faith. But having said that, also understand that in some matters, prayer and intercession are very important, especially when it has to do with other people. So if I'm having faith for my own life situation, so on, faith is important and usually just by faith you can deal with it because Jesus said, you speak to the mountain, you tell the mountain to move, it'll move, nothing will be impossible to you. So if it's a matter of your own life, your own life situation, so you just exercise faith, you speak words or faith things will happen. But if it is dealing with somebody else, maybe you're praying for the salvation of a family member, maybe you're praying for another person to grow spiritually or to walk in the ways of God. That's where prayer and intercession is very important. And you have to pray in faith, of course, but prayer and intercession is dealing with what is affecting that person. So in a situation like that, intercession, prayer becomes very important. Of course, all of it has to be done in faith. So or when you're dealing with God to work in your city, work in your nation, prayer and intercession becomes very important. So my answer to the Suresh, if it's concerning a personal matter, you're dealing with a life situation that's in your personal life, you just use your faith, like Jesus spoke to the storm, the winds, the waves, he didn't even pray for that wind or the storm, he just spoke to it, he spoke and ministered to people that way. But he also had a strong life of prayer, so he would go away into the mountains and he would spend hours in prayer. And when they are praying for people, when they're interceding, when they're dealing with other people, that's where our prayer and intercession comes in. Okay, all right. So, all right, I think we've answered the question. Any other questions in class? Yes, long question. Okay, try to make it short and ask your question. It's okay. Is there is a pastor or praying person? Sorry, there is a pastor or any praying person? There's a prayerful person, okay. Another person is got sick anything. They have faith for receive healing, but the praying person have no faith. It's healing is happening or not happening. Okay, so let me try to understand Francis, you're saying there's a sick person, there's a person who is praying a lot and the sick person has faith. Is that what you said? The person who's sick has a lot of faith, but the person who is praying doesn't have faith. So the question is healing happening or will the healing happen? Yeah, so I will answer it based on the Bible, because every situation will vary. So the situation that Francis described is there's a sick person who has faith in God, but there's a person who's praying who does not have faith in God. Will the sick person be healed? That's the question. I hope I understood correctly, right? Okay, so Francis, we know, so what does the Bible say? The Bible says, for example, Matthew chapter 9 verse 29, according to your faith, it will be done for you, according to your faith. So that's what God looks at. So the sick person will receive according to their faith. So the person who was sick has faith in God, believes they will see the results, that they will be healed. Now, if the person who's praying, if he doesn't have faith, okay, the prayer is actually ineffective, because remember James chapter 5 verse 15, 16 says, you know, about the elders, they have to pray in faith for the prayer of faith will heal the sick. So if they're not praying the prayer of faith, that prayer is ineffective is useless. So the prayer may be useless, but the person who's sick has faith in God, and through their faith in God, they will receive, right? That's, I'm giving a biblical answer. Now, in reality, the situations are so different, because we don't know every what's in people's hearts and what they're going through. We don't know, but I'm just giving a Bible answer. In practice, we may see all kinds of things happen, which are different. Okay. All right. Okay, shall we move forward any more questions from online students? Any questions? Are we all okay? All right. Okay, let's move forward to now, what we're going to do for a few weeks or for some time, I know a few weeks, but for some time is we're going to break things down. That means, okay, you know, I get in the chapter 10, we talked about speaking your faith and so on and so forth. Now we're going to get into different aspects of exercising faith and so on. So we're going to talk about each piece, like when I talk about confession, we're going to talk about endurance. Now, we're going to talk about how to, you know, pray and receive various parts, piece by piece, right? We're going to talk about it. So in chapter 11, we talk about how confession releases faith. You see, one of the things God, you see, God has designed us in such a way that we are able to express what is in our heart through the words of our mouth. So what is in our heart is expressed through the words we speak and what we will see in scripture, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, is that our words are very important. The words we speak are very important and God has used or God has instructed us that our words are a vehicle or a way to express or release our faith, our words, the words you speak, is a way to release your faith. So we need to understand that and we need to use it. For example, some person, a sick person comes to you. So what is your problem? He says, I have a tumor. Okay, how are you going to get the tumor out? You and I are not doctors. We're not going to cut the stomach and pull it off. We can't do that. How are you going to deal with the tumor? Well, Jesus said something. He said, speak to the mountain. Speak to the mountain. So you can even, you know, mountain basically represents some material thing, something in our natural realm. And he said, if you have faith, you can speak to that. So that's why you can say to the tumor, tumor in the name of Jesus. I command you to leave or I command you to dry up and disappear, whatever, you know, you give, you can speak to it. Now some people who don't understand this, they listen to you and say, gone. This person has gone, lost his mind. He's talking to the tumor, but they don't understand spiritual truth. That's in the Bible. But in the Bible, for example, Jesus, he spoke to things. And if you just turn with me to look, chapter four, and I'm sure that you are familiar with many examples in the Bible, but I'll just point us to one example. So if you turn with me to look, chapter four, please, and please look at verses 38 and 39. Look, chapter four, there is not in the notes. I'm just taking a little side journey. We'll come back to the notes. Look, chapter four, 38 and 39. It says that he arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house, but Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever and they made requests of him concerning her. So this is Simon's wife's mother. She had high fever. I don't know, maybe those days they may not have had thermometers, but maybe it was 102, 103, 104, high fever. What did Jesus do? Verse 39. So he stood over her and rebuked what? The fever. Jesus is speaking to what? He's speaking to the fever. It says he rebuked the fever and it left her. That means you can imagine Jesus going, you can just imagine, Jesus going to Peter's mother-in-law. She's lying in the bed, high fever. He goes and says, fever, leave. What is this? He's talking to the fever. He's rebuking the fever. What is this? But Jesus rebuked the fever and what does it say? It says, and it left her. See, he used words and he spoke to what? He spoke to the fever. Notice he did not pray. So again, we go back to one of those questions. Should we use faith? Should we pray? In this case, it was not about prayer. It was about exercising faith. It was about speaking to the fever. He spoke to the fever. So you can speak to the sickness, whatever that sickness. Speak to it. Words, speaking words to that sickness. You speak to the tumor. You speak to whatever that condition. Speak to it. Tell it to go. Rebuked it. Meaning they say, go, leave. And she was healed. So I'm just giving one example. You look at the ministry of Jesus, for the blind or the deaf person. He said, be opened. He's speaking to the deaf. He's speaking to the ear. He says, be open or to the dumb. Be open for the person who cannot speak. Speak plainly. So God has given us this. So use your words. Use your words to do work. Spiritual. This is spiritual. So we must understand that words are important in the exercise of faith. And that's what we're going to spend time on in this lesson. Lesson number 11. Now the word confession. There are different contexts in which the word confession is used in the New Testament. We see we have to confess Jesus as Lord of our lives for salvation. We have to confess sin to receive forgiveness of sins. The word confession is the Greek word homologia. Right? And it is really made up of two words. So homologia is made up of two words. Homo means same. Homo means same. And logia means to say. So homo same. Logia means to say. And therefore it simply means homologia simply means to say the same thing. To say the same thing. Right? So the word confession means to say the same thing. So if I'm talking about confession of sin, I say the same thing. That means I say I have sinned. Right? Suppose I got angry. And I say the same thing. I said God, I got angry with somebody. I shouted at somebody. God please forgive me. I should not have done that. Confession of sin. I'm saying the same thing of my sin. God, this is what I did. Wrong thing I did. Please forgive me. That is confession of sin. Saying the same thing. Confession of Jesus as Lord. That means we're saying the same thing. Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. And he has ascended to heaven. So we are saying the same thing. That is confession of Christ as Lord. And Jesus said, if you confess me before men, I will confess you before my Father who is in heaven. That means if you say Jesus is Lord, then he will say that boy, that girl, that person is, I am his Lord. He is my son, my daughter before the Father. That means you are acknowledging Jesus. Jesus is acknowledging you. Confession. So Jesus, if you confess me before men, I will confess you before the Father. He will say the same thing about you and me. So the word confession is a very simple word. It simply means say the same thing. Say the same thing. That's what it means to confess. Now, the Bible also teaches us that we have to confess our faith. Now, we have a full book called Speak Your Faith. You can download the PDF for free, but the book will be printed. We've just added a printing, so hopefully it'll be printed and you'll get a copy of it. But that book, Speak Your Faith, basically has scriptures from Genesis to Revelation that teaches on speaking your faith. So you can go through the whole book. But here, we're going to only talk, reference a few verses, a few verses. So we see this confession of faith throughout the Bible. It's not just in the New Testament or only in the Old Testament. It's throughout the Bible. People say the same thing. They say what they believe. That is confession of your faith. Say what you believe. And of course, you and I believe God. You and I believe the Word of God. So we must say what we believe. So look at some examples. In Joshua chapter 1, and I've not put this on, but Joshua chapter 1, God is telling Joshua, is instructing Joshua. And he says, Joshua, this book, and at that time, they just had the books of Moses, the first five books. And God is telling Joshua chapter 1. Sorry, I turned to Deuteronomy. Okay, Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. He says, this book of the law shall not leave your mouth, depart from your mouth. Don't leave this book, the words of this book, shouldn't leave your mouth. Keep it in your mouth. But you meditate in a day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. But then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success. So God is saying, let the words of this book become the words of your mouth. Let it always be in your mouth. Don't let it leave your mouth. Meaning, in other words, to put it in simple language, always say what my word has said. This book, don't let it leave your mouth. Meaning, let the words of this book be the words of your, always say, you always speak my words and you meditate in it. You carefully do it, observe to do and then you will make your way prosperous. You will have good success. Okay, so you follow my word, you will have good success. Now, I want to, I want us to look at a very interesting passage in Deuteronomy chapter 30, verses 11 to 14, because why I say this is very interesting is because this same passage from Deuteronomy chapter 13 is quoted by the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 10. Very interesting that the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 10 is quoting this passage from Deuteronomy chapter 30. So we're going to read both. That means what God taught his people in the Old Testament is still being given to believers in the New Testament, this particular truth. Okay, so what did God tell his people in the Old Testament? Deuteronomy chapter 30, verses 11 to 14. Let me read it please. For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you nor is it far off. So God is saying, look, my word which I'm giving you today, it's not mysterious. It's not something you don't understand and neither is it far away from you. Verse 12, it is not in heaven that you should say who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it. That means, God is saying, I didn't keep my word in heaven away from you so that somebody, Superman has to come bring that word down for you. No, I'm not kept it away from you. And then verse 13, nor is it beyond the sea that you should say who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it. So God is not saying, look, I didn't put my word far away from you in some other place that you have to go across the seas to go and get it. So what God is saying is, look, my word is not far from you. It's not so far away up in heaven or far in some across the ocean. It's not far away from you. But what he's saying verse 14, but the word is very near you. The word which God has spoken is very near you. Where is it? In your mouth and in your heart that you may do it. So God is saying, hello, my word, it's not far away. It's not in heaven so far that you have to go to heaven to get it. It is not far away across the ocean. You have to go across and get it. No, my word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your, it's in your mouth. It's in your heart so that you can live by it, follow it, do it. So that is what God told his people in the Old Testament. Very interesting. Let's go to Romans chapter 10. We'll explain this to me close. Romans chapter 10. The Apostle Paul, the book of Romans is a powerful episode. So in your third year, you will be studying the book of Romans verse by verse, beautiful, beautiful study. You will understand the book of Romans. It's the, it's the more, I shouldn't say it's the best, but this book, episode of Romans is the highest from a doctrine standpoint, from a teaching standpoint. It's one of, you know, Paul, the Apostle's best writing. Of course, the epistles talk about Christian living, but Romans is talking about Christian doctrine, you know, right from sin, salvation. It teaches us so many things, powerful, powerful. You'll study it in your third year, but in Romans chapter 10, very interesting. The Apostle Paul is quoting from Deuteronomy 30 and then he's explaining to us how to practice it. So it's very interesting. Romans 10. Let's read it. We will read from verse 6. But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. So he's talking about speaking and he's saying you have to speak like this. That means people who have received righteousness by faith, they talk like this. Okay. So you and I, have we received righteousness by faith? Yes. So we are supposed to talk like this because he's saying for the righteousness of faith speaks like this. Do not say in your heart who will ascend into heaven, that is to bring Christ down from above or who will descend into the abyss, that is to bring Christ up from the dead. Verse 8. But what does it say? That means what does the scripture say? The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart. So he's quoting Deuteronomy 30 verse 14. The word is near you in your heart and in your mouth. For what? That is the word of faith which we preach. So which word is he referring to? See in the Old Testament, God was referring to the book of the law and he was saying that word is very close to you. But now Paul is referring to the word of faith. That means the message of faith in Christ and everything that Paul was preaching. So whatever Paul was preaching, the word of faith, the word that brings faith, the message that about Jesus Christ, what he has done for us on the cross and all of that. So this message that produces faith, that word is very close to you. It's in your mouth and in your heart. But what must you do? Next verse. So he doesn't stop there. Verse 9. That if you confess with your mouth. So the word is in your mouth. For what? For you to confess. If you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart. So the word is in your heart. For what? To believe it and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead. You will be saved. Look at verse 10. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. So Paul is quoting from the Old Testament and then he's explaining how it works in the life of the believer. He says the word, the word of faith, that is what the message of faith, the word which brings faith, it's in your mouth and in your heart. He says with the heart man believes, with the mouth confession is made. What is confession? Say the same thing. So word is in your mouth. You confess the word, you got to say the same. Say what the word says. Say the same thing. With the heart man believes. The word is in your heart. So what do you believe? You believe the word. And then he also tells us what believing does. With the heart one believes unto righteousness. That means believing puts you in right standing with God. You come into the right place. To be righteous means to be in right standing with God. You're in the right place before God. So when you believe in your heart, you believe the word, it puts you in a place, right place before God to receive. With the heart man believes, verse 10. With the heart one believes unto righteousness or resulting in righteousness. So when you believe with your heart, what is the result? You're in the right place. You're standing in the right place before God. Then what happens? Next verse 10. And with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. That means now when you confess, it results in you experiencing God's work in your life. That's the salvation. So two things. When you, the word is in, so let's break it down. The word of God, the word which brings faith, word of faith. It's in your heart and it's in your mouth. So if you and I want God to work in our lives, we shouldn't say, oh God is so far away in heaven. Who will go and bring him? Or oh Jesus died. Who's going to bring him up? No, don't talk like that. So Paul is saying, don't talk like that. The righteousness of faith speaks like this. This is how we're supposed to speak. Speak according to the word because the word is in your heart and it's in your mouth. With your heart you believe, you believe the word. When you believe the word, it puts you in righteousness, puts you in the right place before God. And with your mouth confession is made unto salvation. That means when you confess with your mouth, after having believed in your heart, you're in the right place. Now you're confessing, then you experience the work of God in your life, salvation. So example, we'll just mention a few examples and we'll take questions. Suppose a believer is sick. Suppose you're sick. Don't say, oh, who will bring Jehovah Rafa from heaven for him to heal me? I got a Jehovah Rafa, but he's in heaven. How will he come and heal me? Or maybe Jehovah Rafa didn't rise up from the dead. Who's going to raise him up? Don't speak like that because he has already given you his word. His word says, I am the God who heals you. His word says, himself took our sicknesses and bore our diseases. His word says, by his tribes we are here. So the word is near you. What must you do? You believe that word in your heart and you believe that word in your heart. It puts you in righteousness in the right place before God to receive. Then you confess that word with your mouth from a believing heart. You confess that word. It brings salvation. It brings God's work of healing into your life. Confession is made unto salvage, resulting in salvation. You got it? Or let's say there's a need, a financial need. Don't say, who will bring Jehovah Jara from heaven? Or is Jehovah Jara dead? How will he meet my need? No, the word is near you. It's in your heart. It's in your mouth. What is the word? My God, child, supplier, all my need, according to his riches and glory through Christ. Jesus, God is able to make all grace abound toward me. That I always having all sufficiency and all things will abound to every good work. The Lord is my shepherd. I will not be in what the word is near me. It's in my heart. It's in my heart. It's in my heart for me to believe it with the heart man believes. So you believe that word. When you believe that word, it puts you in righteousness before God. You're in the right place to receive now because you believed it. And out of a believing heart, confession is made. That means you must speak and declare, my God, child, supply all my needs. The Lord, my God, makes all grace abound toward me. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall so confession is made unto salvation. If you see the result of God's working in your life, your needs will be met. Understand? So we will pause here. Let's say any questions. Let me check the online class. Any questions? We have five minutes. All right. Any questions from online class students? Any questions? We have five more minutes for a few more minutes. Yes. Sorry, we have great faith. Okay. So Ren's question is, if we have great faith and people think that, oh, this person is very proud or things like that. So one is, see, we don't all, we don't have to speak our faith in front of people all the time. It's very important and we will continue this. You know, it's very important, first of all, to speak our faith before God because Bible says Hebrews 3, 1. Next class, we'll talk about it. Jesus is the high priest of our confession. So we need to make our confession before Jesus. Secondly, not everybody understands faith. So what you do? Keep quiet before them because they don't understand. They'll think you lost your mind. They'll think something wrong. So before them, just keep quiet. Now Jesus put it like this and it sounds hard but Jesus said, don't throw your pearls before swine, before pigs. And there was this simple interpretation is, don't, these valuable things that you have, spiritual things, don't put it in front of people who cannot understand it. They'll only laugh at us. So why even bother? So don't do that. So most important, we speak our faith before God, if a Christ, because he's a high priest and a few people who understand our faith. You know, I'll just mention this verse, 1st Timothy 612, Paul tells Timothy, hold fast your confession which you have confessed before many witnesses. That means these witnesses, of course, are the believers, people who understand. So before people who understand, then you share your faith. They will support you. They'll encourage you. But if they don't understand, don't waste your time. Don't say anything, just keep quiet. Otherwise they will think something is wrong with us. So don't do that. And if they misunderstand us, don't worry because they don't understand where we are coming from. We are coming from faith in God and His Word. They don't understand that. So don't worry about us. Okay? All right. We are going to close one minute we have. Okay, let's close. Maybe I'll just pray to the, yes, you're saying sometimes, if we, as faith increases, we also become proud. So we have to avoid that. Just don't worry about, I mean, sorry, we should watch our own hearts, our own lives, that we don't become proud. Because pride can hinder the exercise of our faith if we let pride come in. Sorry, what were you going to say? How to make sure that we don't let pride come in? Okay, let us answer that next time. Okay, just remind me, next class, we will start with your question. Okay? So when my last question didn't have time to answer, I was thinking about it. But you asked me, next class, we'll start. Okay? Okay, let's just close. Father, we thank you for this time of learning. And we pray that every word spoken, Lord, will be sealed and blessed in our hearts in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, everyone. Thanks for being on the class. Okay, take your quick break and please get ready for your next class. Thank you.
