 some people they tell like ok it's ok if you did wrong God forgives and they keep on telling we can like even we tell sometimes it's ok even if you do wrong God is who can you know God is faithful he forgives you grace is there your sin is not that much big God's grace is bigger than your sin we keep on telling it but it may also lead them to take it as a advantage and also it may you know a suppress that he is also a king who you know punishes who does wrong so how we can balance God is a God who is just and righteous that is this moral attribute that does not change at the same time he's a God who's not partial he's a God who's fair he's also a God who's gracious and compassionate okay so we see in you know God's righteousness or his justice comes alongside him fulfilling his promises comes alongside him fulfilling of him being you know loving kind judging the enemies or judging sins so when God looks at sin his nature is to immediately judge it because he's a just God okay his judgment comes passes out but then why are we not being judged why are we receiving grace because Jesus is there at the center of the throne and he's saying God I died on the cross for this person sin please forgive them okay yes there is consequences for our sins whatever we do there is consequences right so for example you didn't study for your test the consequences you fail you wouldn't stop at the signal light when it was red you just went you can run up in an accident if you're over speeding you can you know yeah and if you don't eat right food you can also you know it has consequences so everything has consequences but we see that you know God is just but the same time he is compassionate and gracious merciful and forgiving when we go to him and ask him for forgiveness yes he forgives us but we do face the consequences for our sins but he also can you know use that to strengthen us and build us so now is it like even as we have been redeemed and Jesus is the center of between us and God so one was interceding on behalf of us yeah so it's like when we sin God don't seize our sins but God sees the price that was paid no God sees our sin the judgment passes out but what comes out is grace and mercy so it's all the time the same it's not I am saying great we have the grace and mercy we don't receive the wrath of God but we face the consequences for us since we do face the consequences for us since consequences means in you you don't eat you're going to you know you're going to collapse you don't study the consequence for sin is that yes for that's what I'm saying so when God is a just God but then when you don't ask for forgiveness for your sins you yeah you face it no when we are when we are born again you know we are assured into the kingdom of God our you know we are salvation is eternal but Hebrews chapter 6 and Hebrews chapter 10 also says that you know if we having known the truth you know and we treat the blood of the covenant as an unholy thing then there is no more forgiveness of sins left but only a fearful punishment okay so we don't know which is that sin what is that sin where it is not you know if you look at Hebrews Hebrews chapter 10 verse 26 and 27 and also Hebrews chapter 6 verses 4 to 6 okay so Hebrews chapter 6 verses 4 to 6 and Hebrews chapter 10 it says Hebrews chapter 10 26 and 27 says even when we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins okay but a fearful expectation of judgment and fury indignation which will devour the adversaries okay so we don't know which is that limit of sin that we reached to where it falls into this category it's not given here but yes there can be a chance where we can lose it Hebrews chapter 6 and Hebrews chapter 10 okay so suppose we are coming to sin in faith in faith I've known God but I come to sin over and over again I know after a certain point of time like when you lose that sense of you know the right and wrong of that sin is that when you know that the grace of God left it because you kept going back coming in going back coming in and then that sense of right right along the line is blurred is that when you know that your conscience becomes debt to that sin yeah is that when you know that you come like God has left you you come far from that far from it across the line that much yeah you've crossed the line way before yeah okay no and so you're saying is this what's the category that's mentioned in chapter 6 and chapter 10 of Hebrews is that your question you know is that the limit yeah is that the limit I'm asking that's what I'm saying I it's not explained to me and I don't know what the limit is I don't know what is that limit what is that sin but it says if you keep on will fully sinning after you have come to the knowledge of the truth then so we don't know which will fully sinning which sin what sin what is the extent but we always know that God is gracious and merciful is waiting to you know forgive us if you really don't know what is that limit even if they want to you know even if they want to walk right seriously before the Lord but because of they don't have a good fellowship or good mentoring like they will be poor or weak in their strength they will be like sliding back sometimes like the Israelites how God restored and then still they go back to idol worship so it's like willfully yes that's willful yes so how how we can you know treat them or how we can look at this situation Romans chapter 1 says nobody has any excuse because creation itself reveals the the Godhead reveals the glory the power and the Godhead so no one is without excuse that you know we didn't know God we didn't know the Son creation itself reveals the power of God so we even if you don't have fellowship you have the word of God you have to get into fellowship you have to do something you can't be oscillating going in and out yes like the people who got redeemed who are redeemed and all they are heads of kingdom that we know like when we are talking about the consequences of this I mean born again people if they sin and all the consequences will become physically here on the earth or after the death no everything the consequences we pay here we we go through the consequences of our sin here in our daily life yes we experience it here we can't go to heaven and next you know this on the consequences of our sin right as an example to understand power so it's the consequences like if we lied to some person God won't see our sin but we'll face the consequences we can't say God does not see us in he sees us in sins but because we are redeemed we ask for forgiveness God forgives us forgiveness but we will face the consequence of the light that we have spoken yes that's how others we can keep on how do we learn right okay last because we have to move on yes no the last thing I want to mention is in revelation it stays in the third chapter that if you are not if you're neither not either a hot not cold yeah so lukewarm yeah lukewarm if you're lukewarm so like this this can be like applied to sin if you're coming to the scene and find back to God you're going here and you're not staying anyone you're going either you're not staying hot not cold you're going back and forth so it says God himself will spit you out if you're like that you're unsure of what you're doing you're not unsure of what you want to do this or that yeah so what what is your question yeah yeah back and forth if you go then yes that is actually sinning will fully know the truth and you're going back and forth right yeah yes so like even I mean even I mean if you see that it is God will spew you out of the mouth your mouth yeah so that is in a in a specific context for a specific church that he's writing to right one of the seven churches at near Ephesus I think it's laodicea I don't know if it's the right church yeah laodicea so he says he spits you out of the mouth so he they already know but you know they're going back and forth it does not mean that God does not when they it does not mean when they ask for forgiveness God is not going to be gracious and merciful it's not that God has totally rejected them see God does not totally reject anybody but he always gives them a chance to come back even in the last moment they have the opportunity for salvation essentially if they are going in that way God I mean so my gosh still loves them but they themselves are going in that direction so it is their thing yes okay God still loves them irrespective God does not like our sin but he likes a sinner right yeah yes and he's always waiting for a sinner to repent and come back it's God's good pleasing and perfect will that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of his salvation Timothy okay he's writing okay so we'll move on so we're looking at how Jesus came into this world and how he's introducing the kingdom of God and what he did okay and I think it's important for us to understand that because you know because we and you know when we believe when we take the same approach that Jesus took we will also be able to see the establishment of the spiritual kingdom of God okay we're not talking about the natural kingdom the natural kingdom will come when Jesus himself will come and establish it thousand-year millennium rule but here we're talking more about the spiritual kingdom so you and I are responsible for the extension of the spiritual kingdom even as we adapt the same method that Jesus took to introduce his kingdom and also it is our responsibility to see the furtherance of the kingdom of God okay now who had the privilege of being the forerunner of Jesus John the Baptist okay he was the one who came heralding the kingdom of God he was the one who came speaking about the kingdom and he was the one who came to introduce the king and the kingdom okay look at what matthew chapter 3 verse 2 says okay matthew chapter 3 verse 2 says okay it says repent for the kingdom of God is at hand okay repent for the kingdom of God is at at the hand so we see that you know John the Baptist had a unique privilege of all the Old Testament prophets to be the immediate forerunner of Jesus Christ okay and look at what it's what Jesus said in the light of this in in John Luke chapter 7 verse 28 Luke chapter 7 verse 28 can somebody read that please for I say to you among those born of woman there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he yeah so we see that you know he says that of all those born of woman this is the greatest prophet because he had the unique opportunity and privilege of saying hey the king is coming and this is the king or this is the messiah that we were looking for and yet Jesus went on to say this about John the Baptist that whoever is least in the kingdom of God is greater than John okay John had a unique privilege of all the Old Testament prophets he was the only one who could say hey this is the king is coming and this is the king but Jesus went on to say that of all the people in the kingdom the least in the kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist okay so we see that John the Baptist could introduce the king but he could not enter the kingdom of God because he was not born again because Jesus had not had died on the cross and he had not had resurrected okay the resurrection had not had taken place but so he was still not part of the kingdom of God but you and I seated here have this unique privilege of being born again and who have not only the unique privilege of being part of this kingdom and having God as our king but we also can say hey the king is coming back and the king is here where is the king inside me okay his rule and reign is in and through me so this is a rare privilege is a wonderful privilege and Jesus says that the least in the kingdom of God is greater than the greatest of the Old Testament prophets and who is that John the Baptist okay now we see that Jesus takes a three-fold approach in introducing the kingdom of God here on so what is a three-fold approach we read this in Matthew chapter 4 verses 17 and 23 and Matthew chapter 9 verse 35 so can somebody please read these two passages please Matthew 4 17 23 from that time Jesus began to preach and to say repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand and Jesus went about all Galilee teaching their synagogues preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people yeah so when when he went when Jesus went he went about doing what introducing the kingdom and he did three things what are the three things he did preaching the good news of the kingdom second one teaching the the kingdom and third one is healing or demonstrating the power of the kingdom and we see the same thing repeated in Matthew chapter 9 verse 35 okay where in Matthew chapter 9 verse 35 it says that once again Jesus went into all the cities and villages teaching in the synagogues preaching the gospel of the kingdom healing every sickness and every disease that was among the people so there are to sum it up there are three things that Jesus did he preached the good news he taught about the kingdom and he demonstrated the power of the kingdom and that is how we need to introduce the kingdom of God in our world today okay so now if you had to herald the good news of the earthly kingdom what would you have done if you have to herald the good news of the kingdom of God here on earth what would you have done what would you have done you would go and tell people what the good news hey the king is here he's a king who's conquered his enemies he's a king who brings peace he's a king who brings shalom to everybody who comes into his kingdom and in his kingdom he's wonderful he's a great advisor he is so powerful he's a mighty god he's our father and you know he's also the prince of peace so would you like to come into this kingdom basically as simple as that okay so you will tell people about this kingdom how this kingdom has overthrown all other kingdoms and you will tell them how the king of this kingdom is so wonderful so powerful and you tell them how they need to be part of this kingdom okay so you and I have this privilege or this responsibility to advance the kingdom of God to do the same thing that Jesus did to preach to teach and also to demonstrate the kingdom of God okay so we look at how Jesus introduced his kingdom throughout this you know this book we look at what he taught about the kingdom about his teachings and all of his teachings that he taught was you know transformed the thinking of people's minds and also transformed the way of their living okay so just in this chapter we look at a few things that Jesus taught about the kingdom of God but we will study throughout this book you know the various teachings of various parables that Jesus taught and how he introduced the kingdom of God but we'll just look at a few of them now okay the first thing is Matthew chapter five verse three okay second somebody read that please Matthew chapter five verse three and we're looking at how Jesus taught about this kingdom and whatever he taught about this kingdom transformed the minds and the lives of people and these are some of the things he said Matthew chapter five verse three blessed are the poor in his spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven yes so what it means to be poor here but I say that those who are poor and spirit for theirs the kingdom of heaven what does it mean to be poor of nothing to poor people have nothing weak needy yes to be poor is in a state of always why are you looking at her like that to be poor is in a state of being always in need to want to beg or to ask for more okay to be poor in spirit is to be needy in the spirit which means to be hungry for more there is an unquenchable thirst there is a continuous state of wanting of hunger of begging of crying out for God for more in your spirit man you're always needy in your spirit man and actually it's a good thing to be in that state of being you know having that unquenchable thirst wanting begging crying out for more of God it's a good thing why is it a good thing look at what the verse says you're blessed okay so if you're in this continuous thing of being needy you are blessed and you are the one who's going to experience his kingdom okay and the blessings are yours and yours is the kingdom okay so you are the woman you are the man who's going to experience this kingdom and you are the woman you are the man who's going to experience his blessing okay look at what has Jesus taught about the kingdom in Matthew chapter 5 verse 10. Nina John says to be poor in spirit is to be dependent yes thank you Nina look at what Matthew chapter 5 verse 10 says somebody can read that please. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for this is the kingdom of heaven. So when you are being persecuted or wrongly judged or mistreated for doing what is right just remember the kingdom of heaven is at hand the kingdom of heaven is yours okay and the glory of God shall be revealed in you and in through you okay both in this life and in the life too come because the kingdom of God you know outweighs all our problems our momentary problems difficulties challenges that we face okay and Jesus goes on teaching the people more about the kingdom when he said that hey if you want to be a big shot in the kingdom of God you know if you want to be someone great or a big shot in the kingdom of God I will tell you how to do it okay so how does he tell us to be a big shot in the kingdom of God Matthew chapter 5 verse 19 can somebody read that please. Who are there for breaks on the least of these commandments and teaches mentor shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven but whoever does and teaches them he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Amen so Jesus says if you'll do the word and teach others how to do the word you will be a big shot in the kingdom of heaven or you will be great in the kingdom of heaven okay so this is the kingdom of God it's not about what possessions you have it's not about what position you hold but if you would just do what God wants you to do and teach others to do the same thing it will give you a good place it will give you a good standing it will give you a good position okay now there are few occasions when Jesus described what leads to greatness in the kingdom in other places what does Jesus say who can be great in the kingdom of God yeah he brings a child and says whoever is childlike or humble you humble yourself like a child in the relationship in your relationship with your father that will make you great in the kingdom of heaven Matthew chapter 18 verse 4 okay he also said what else did he say about humbling ourselves yes servant attitude okay if you humble yourself to become a servant to others that will bring you to a place of greatness in the kingdom of God okay Matthew chapter 20 verse 26 but here in Matthew chapter 5 verse 19 Jesus instructs us that if we do his word and personally live lives by doing it and following it and then teaching others how to live by the word it leads us to a place of honor in his kingdom okay so two things we need to do God's word and we have to do it live it and then teach it to others so first we live it out of our own lives and then we share with others how to live it and then you know help them to live out the word of God in their own lives as well okay so Jesus went on to say in Matthew chapter 5 verse 20 he says hey listen you know um there are he looks at the Pharisees and says these are the kind of people you shouldn't be like okay he looks at the Pharisees Matthew chapter 5 verse 20 we're continuing with this passage we read Matthew chapter 5 verse 19 Matthew chapter 5 was 20 he says he said unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees and scribes you will by no means enter the kingdom of God okay so he looks at them and says hey these are the kind of people you shouldn't be like okay then he teaches more about the kingdom of God um you know look at what he says in Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 to 13 okay he says you know he talks about prayer look when you pray pray about the kingdom and what should you pray and say when you pray okay Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 and 13 can one of you please read that Matthew 6 10 to 13 your kingdom come you will be done on earth as it is in heaven and do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen yes so Jesus says hey when you finish praying what do you do look at those verses when you finish praying what do you do say amen okay before you say amen what do you do you're praying this is part of the prayer huh yours is the kingdom acknowledge the king and say dine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever so we are saying God I acknowledge you as sovereign king as Lord as the omnipotent one as the omnipotent one over the universe the ruler who nobody can question or challenge okay so that is what he is saying in Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 and 13 okay and then look at what he also goes on to teach in Matthew chapter 6 verse 33 can somebody read that please but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you yes then he goes on to say hey you know about your priorities here's what your priorities should be what should your priority be seek the kingdom of God first and his righteousness what happens when you seek God's kingdom first and his righteousness everything will be added so let the kingdom of God begin to affect or you know affect your priorities what you think is important in life so you need to seek God's kingdom first and then what will happen whatever you have to eat drink what where you have what you have to sleep on you know your carrier everything is taken care of by God okay what do you want to yes why not God doesn't want you all to live in poverty right he wants his children to have the best drive the best car live in the best house and he yes he provides us provides our needs not agreed but then this is you know but there's nothing wrong in living in a big house nothing wrong in driving a car you work hard you buy one you work hard you build a house you live in it enjoy yourself but then yes what is the whole aspect of the kingdom of God the principle is what it's not money is not evil the love for money is the root of all evil okay that's what Paul writes to Timothy but you know how do we use God blesses us with money he wants us to be rich but it's not just for us to satisfy it are more and more and more and more and more but it's also to give into his kingdom to for the expansion of his kingdom so if you have a two-story house you want to build a five-story six-story house when only two or three of you are living in as a family it's not necessary you can use that to build and extend God's kingdom given to God's kingdom okay nothing wrong in in desiring great things or big things for yourself God is not against that yeah okay the next thing what he teaches us about the kingdom of God is doing the will of the father Matthew chapter seven was 21 somebody read that please not everyone who says to me Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven but he who does the will of my father in heaven yeah so here Jesus is emphasizing that doing the will of the father is more important than just lip service just talking just preaching this teaching just worshiping God more than lip service okay so it is about knowing him personally and you know more than you know just knowing the dynamics of the mechanics or you know the so-called Christian jargons or the style and everything of using his name while ministering his name or teaching his name but it's about how intimately and personally you know him and you're ministering out of that place of intimacy out of that place of personal experience and power from God okay so like this Jesus talked about the kingdom teaching and challenging people's thinking their thinking their minds the way of living and this is how we introduce the kingdom okay we also see that Jesus demonstrated the kingdom we we read earlier in the scriptures in Matthew chapter 4 and was and Matthew chapter 9 that he went about healing people casting out devils delivering people and saying this is the kingdom okay look at what he says in Matthew chapter 12 verse 28 can somebody read that please Matthew chapter 12 verse 28 but if I cast out demons by the spirit of God surely the kingdom of God has come upon you okay I think Nina John is trying to speak but we can't hear her uh Anand okay then it's fine uh sorry Nina we can't hear you just a minute uh we have some speaker here and what happened yeah it does not support nothing is supporting my new laptop it's doesn't support sky doesn't support zoom uh just a minute Nina they're just connecting uh it to another laptop so we can hear you speak can you speak Nina Nina but if I cast out demons can you hear me just a minute just a minute please let's go ahead but if I cast out demons you can hear me just a minute Nina they're trying to okay uh maybe what we'll do it till they figure that out we'll just continue with our lesson and then we can ask you your question or what you have to say is that okay Nina okay so uh we see here oh she wanted to read the scripture I think okay fine so Jesus says in Matthew chapter 12 verse 28 that if I cast out demons by the spirit of God and the kingdom of God has come upon you okay so it says if I cast out devils by the spirit then this is a sign that the kingdom of God is here so this is this is me ushering the kingdom of God and so he's saying by casting out devils and healing the sick is what Jesus said is how he is demonstrating the power of the kingdom or this is how he's inaugurating the kingdom into this world and he's also taught his disciples to do the same thing okay and then he says in Matthew chapter 10 verse 7 and 8 so Nina John you can read Matthew chapter 10 verse 7 and 8 and as you go can you hear me yes we can okay and as you go preach saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead cast out demons freely you have received freely give thank you Nina John it's uh it's a joy to hear a voice of an online student thank you so here we see that you know we have freely received and we can freely give so don't you know hold back and say hey if I pray is people are going to be healed cleanse the dead is going to be raised you've you've freely received freely give okay so looking at all of these passages here's a challenge that I like to put forward to all of us that you and I are responsible to see the kingdom of God you know extended here on Jesus says you know inaugurated the kingdom again after it was you know it was given off to satan authority was given he took back the keys of authority he came and inaugurated the kingdom of God he has extended the kingdom of God to us he has extended the invitation you and I have you know chosen that invitation you have accepted that invitation and now it's uh your your responsibility and my responsibility uh to extend his kingdom here on um earth okay um um so as we do that you know even as we um you know um who this responsibility what are the things that we need to do we need to announce the good news preach the good news of the kingdom and also you know some of us don't like the word preach you know you you will say I'm not called to preach so we can use other words just tell others or just share share to us share with others or just speak you know speak the word of God to others whatever you know just tell people to share about the king and the kingdom okay so share the speech tell whatever about the king and the kingdom okay uh and also demonstrate the kingdom of God so this is a method Jesus used and it's the same method that you and I are asked to do uh or to use even as we uh desire or God desires to advance his kingdom in our world today okay so that is chapter two for us anyone has any questions online students if you have any questions please unmute your mics and ask Vimal joined okay after so many days Vimal is joined okay okay any questions anyone has online students in person okay if there's no questions then we'll have just have 10 more minutes so maybe just eight more minutes so we can start chapter two okay so chapter three sorry okay thank you Ravili uh so what part does the church have in the kingdom of God what is the relationship between the church and the kingdom okay that is what we're going to look at in chapter three now we must understand that the church is part of the overall kingdom of God and at this present time okay the church is the representative or the church represents the kingdom of God here on earth okay so when we talk about church what are we basically talking about people okay talking about us you and me we're not talking about a building or a structure okay and the Lord Jesus has vested his authority of the kingdom is given it to whom the church he's given it to us okay look at Matthew chapter 16 verses 18 and 19 can one of the online students please unmute and read Matthew chapter 16 verses 18 and 19 anyone? Kira you like to read Matthew chapter 16 verses 18 and 19 or anyone else? Yes ma'am can you hear me ma'am? Yes we can but but those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and the defilement the heart sorry Kira Matthew chapter 16 verses 18 and 19 Matthew 16 18 and 19 okay okay and I also say to you that you are Peter and to this stroke I will build my church and the gates of heaven shall not prevail against it and I will give you the kiss of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you lose on earth will be lost in heaven. Amen thank you Kira nice to hear your voice so Peter has just proclaimed that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God and what does Jesus tell him? Jesus says Peter on this truth that Christ is the Son of the Living God I'm going to establish my church and he says that this church is a church will overthrow the powers of hell and he says and I will give to the church the keys of the kingdom of heaven okay so Jesus said that he would build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it or the gates of hell will not overpower the church. Now in the Old Testament times the city gates okay for every city had an entrance had the gates it was a place of you know importance it was a place of protection and control why protection yes you have access to enter or you don't have access to enter okay it was also a place you know of control why yeah we can control who comes in and who goes out it was the gates of the city was all had also represented represented the you know the seat of power okay that is where you know the you know the so-called the elders of the city would sit and you know they would pass their judgments or people would come and know they would discuss things about the city and all of those things okay so here it says that you know so this gates represents power control and protection okay so the gates of hell basically represents the powers of hell or the control of hell so the powers of hell cannot stop the church okay so and it also here means that gates are stationary does gates move no the gates don't move so gates don't move so it is a church that must advance against the gates of hell okay so it says you know I will build my church in the gates of Haiti shall not prevail against it okay so the church must advance towards the gates of hell so the church will not just sit around waiting for the the power or the control of the hell to come to us but in essence it says the church that is Jesus you know has to confront and overpower or overthrow the powers of hell so to this Jesus says I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven now what does keys represent it represents authority yes so Jesus said he has given us the keys of hell and death we read this in Revelation chapter 1 verse 18 which means that Jesus has conquered death he's conquered satan he's conquered sin he has overpowered them then they're nullified they are rendered powerless inoperative have no power absolutely and Jesus has conquered and overpowered hell and death and Jesus has given whom the authority now who he does he shares his authority or the weekly does he has won he has shared it with you and I so the church has the authority of the kingdom of heaven to do what what does it say here Matthew chapter 16 verses 18 and 19 you know the church has given authority of the kingdom of heaven to do what to bind and to lose yes we are you know we advance against the enemy from a point of victory because he's already you know defeated he is rendered powerless okay he has no he stripped of all his powers okay but the church has authority of the kingdom of heaven to do what to bind on earth what is bound in heaven and to lose on earth what is lost in heaven okay so what does that mean Mike please we what does it mean to bind Nina speaking can you can you hear me yes yes yes okay so we are binding is prohibiting the works of darkness to operate on the earth and releasing the powers I mean because since he has given us the authority to release what is contrary to the kingdom of darkness I mean to release what is operating in the kingdom of god release that over the earth I mean or over any situation or whatever is happening so because he has given us the authority to bind those powers of darkness and to release the powers of the kingdom on the earth in any situation is that it yes yes thank you Nina so we basically release here on earth what is in heaven okay in heaven there is no sickness there's no pain there's no death there is no suicide there is no jealousy hatred the lust of the eyes lust of the flesh pride of life so whatever is not dead you know the works of the enemy the power of the enemy the schemes of the enemy we nullify it you know here and whatever is in heaven we release it basically here and just like what Nina John also said okay we'll stop here we just have one minute anyone has any questions any questions while we I mean just the previous yes go ahead Nina yeah I said while we do that just the previous chapter where it says about the you know what we need to do the kingdom of heaven is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lip and also here that we have the power to you know I mean the authority to bind and lose while we are in the midst of that I mean we do get requests and things like that and we are doing but then there are times when it is challenging too like you know sometimes it is like people related to for some reason about three people who we are praying for you know brain related issues so I mean while there is kind of improvement and they're getting better but it's still kind of challenging it's not as if it just happens like that no you know what I'm saying so in those times then okay so what do we do I mean of course we will press in and press on but is there anything else that we can do or we need to step up the prayer even more or what is it so that it's really yes that's a good good question as a challenge that we all face most often so what we can do is just go back to our clothes let's go back to to God and say God wondered what did I not do right or what should I do what is the breakthrough for this person because you know he the sickness is manifesting it can be because of various underlining issues emotions unforgiveness some sin something of the past you know something so we can ask God to show us where we get down to the roots and you know you know and then and pray accordingly but we don't have all the answers and we don't know why sometimes there is no healing but we don't you know we just press on still like you said because it's God's nature to heal and it's
