 Okay so here we go. So yeah so Abraham it is good thank you for sharing that God's love you know we can never learn all about it and it's always a subject that's you know that it's good to be reminded of and to good to be reiterate to reiterate the truth of this aspect of God's love and what he's extended to us. So thank you it was wonderful and also yeah something that was fresh and nice was about you know those two aspects that you shared about God's love the highest to the lowest and and the lowest to the highest and yeah something that for me it was something that I had never seen it that way yeah so thank you for sharing that it's a good the way you presented it very clear and you describe God's love describe and when moved on transitioned on to talk about the different kinds of love and so on and also you know the challenge or the question you know what should our response be and and so on yeah so it was good really inspired I think inspired us to look at it and also to extend love and express love to others as well just one suggestion is you know when you yeah you're I think this is your normal rate of speech you know you go at it so you know you go at it pretty rapidly when you or maybe you are just aware of the time you can actually slow down you can slow down you can take your time and you you know you finished well well you know within the time so you can take your time and talk about it and vary your speed you know it'll be for even more greater impact and I also felt the scripture when you know maybe you could slow down to read the scripture so that we you know really get it we think about what you're saying you know what the scriptures that you read out or maybe displaying it would have helped we could just you know read it it'll be there on the screen but since you're not displaying it you could just slow down and read it out and you know it'll help yeah so yeah that's all I have in terms of feedback and yeah so so Abraham what do you do and where are you from all right so I'm from Ghana but I'm currently in Vietnam yeah in Vietnam yeah that yes okay right so are you a student are you studying working so currently yeah I'm teaching English no and all the best thank you yeah any other feedback from the class if you would like to share something or any other input just a small input I just put it in the chat when we talk about John 316 if you can just connect it with John first John 316 yeah our responsibility you know yeah that's good so it's easy to remember John 316 and one John 316 nice thank you okay okay so next we have Bula so Bula's from my so yeah Bangalore yeah so over to Bula Bula you can take this time to share thank you thank you pastor I'm actually basically from my so but it wasn't Bangalore in all papers church and then again I'm back in my so right now so yes first so can I just yeah you can start yeah it's 11 9 you can start 12 minutes so I'm just sharing about healing and the main thing I would like to connect here is the healing is in the atonement and it is the children's bread that a believer be healed and live a healthy life so when we just look at the present situation and everything that's going around we see that medical science has made great strides in its efforts to elevate human suffering but yet they accelerated pace of our modern society continues it to take its toll on the bodies of men and women producing sickness that's beyond a man's ability to help the demands for sufficient doctors hospitals beds and cures they grow with increasing pressure and many new drugs and medicines are creating new problems that can only intensify the message that man needs a healer God and it is within the context of human need that the greatest message of the Gospel of Christ salvation it shines forth as a beacon in a faithless world and in all things our heavenly Father can be trusted to honor his word and by the principles of faith every Christian can discover and possess through the benefits of Calvary all that Adam lost now before people can even have a steadfast faith for healing of the body they must be rid of all uncertainty concerning God's will in this matter so appropriating faith cannot go beyond one's knowledge of the revealed will of God before even attempting to exercise faith for healing one needs to know what the scriptures plainly teach that it is just as much as God's will to heal the body as it is to heal the soul it is only by knowing that God promises what you are seeking that all uncertainty can be removed and a steadfast faith is made possible now his promises are each a revelation of God of what God is actually eager to do for us and until we know what God's will is there is nothing on which to base our faith it is important that the mind of those seeking healing be renewed so as to be brought into harmony with the mind of God the scriptures declare in Romans 5 12 that by one man sin entered the world and death by sin here it is plainly stated that death entered the world by sin therefore it is clear that disease which is incipient of death entered into the world by sin since disease entered by sin its true remedy must be found in the redemption of Christ even honest physicians will admit this they claim that they have only the power to assist nature not to heal because since disease is part of the curse its true remedy must be the cross and who can remove the curse but God and how can God justly do it except by substitution now the Bible teaches us like one writer puts it that the disease is the physical penalty of iniquity since Christ has borne in his body all our physical liabilities on account of sin our bodies are therefore released judicially from disease now to the question did Jesus redeem us from our diseases when he are told for our sins let's take a look at some of the scriptures when we go into the Old Testament we see that there are types of atonement that is given in connection with bodily healing throughout the Old Testament for example if we see in the book of Exodus the 12th chapter this chapter refers or mentions about the Passover where the Israelites are they are required to offer a Passover lamb apply the blood of the lamb upon the dopo's but at the same time they are instructed to eat the flesh of the Passover lamb and we come into the account of what is written in the Psalms 105 Psalms 105 verse 37 here it states that he brought them out with silver and gold and there was not one feeble person among their tribes when we look at another version it says here these people were all made healthy and strong and they were fit for the March so we see here in the book of Exodus a type of atonement where the Passover lamb is a type of the atonement of Christ we also read in second Chronicles chapter 30 verses 20 the Bible says that the Lord her couldn't it was a kaya and healed the people when they kept the Passover you're also we see that the people of Israel had backslidden and they are not kept the Passover for a very long time when Ezekiah calls forth people to come and celebrate and keep the Passover and then when he prays we see that the people God hears the prayer of Ezekiah and he heals the people we also look into the book of Eleviticus chapter 14 verses 18 the Bible says that the priests were instructed to make atonement for the cleansing of the leper we see an atonement made for the leper's healing the types in the book of Eleviticus 14th and the 15 chapters they show us that that it was invariably through atonement that sickness was healed and coming to the book of Numbers chapter 16 verses 46 to 50 we see an incident written here where the plague breaks out in the camp of Israel and about 14,700 people they die of plague and Haran the high priest in his editorial office he stood before the between the people and between the dead and the living and he made an atonement for the removal of the plague and when that was made the healing of the bodies took place and when we come to the book of Numbers chapter 21 verses 19 we read that the Israelites they were asked to look at the brazen serpent which was lifted up which was a type of atonement and then when we look at each one of these examples we see if healing was not to be in the atonement then this Israelites why were they required to look at the brazen serpent which was a type of atonement for their bodily healing both healing and the forgiveness came through the type of the atonement now one of the scriptures that is very clear concerning this is in the Old Testament is in the book of Job chapter 33 verses I'd like to read from 23 onwards it says here if there is an angel I'm reading from the amplified version as a mediator for him one out of a thousand to explain to a man what is right for him that is how to be in the right standing with God then the angel is gracious to him and says spare him from going down to the pit of destruction I have found a ransom a ransom for redemption and atonement the word used here for ransom is it is a price for redemption or a term that is used and atonement and he says let his flesh be restored and become fresher than in the youth and let him return to the days of his youthful strength verse 26 says he will pray to God and he shall be favorable to him so that he looks at his face with joy for God restores to man his righteousness that is his right standing with God with his joys so when we look at this particular scripture we are just seeing because of the atonement Job's body was healed and he was granted the right standing with God his prayer was answered and God was favorable to him so it is through atonement that Job's flesh was healed and even in the book of Psalms and David in Psalm 103 he opens up by calling upon his soul to bless the Lord and to forget not all his benefits then he specifies and he says who forgives all dying iniquities and who heals all died diseases the atonement here provides both the forgiveness of sins and the healing of diseases it is in the same voice or the same line he mentions the forgiveness as well as the healing every Old Testament sacrifice had to die and shed blood before the blood was effective the Bible says with other shedding of blood there is no remission of sins and this is another way of saying that all the promises of God including his promise to heal over their existence and power exclusively to the redeeming work of Christ how does God forgives him of course to the atonement of Christ and he heals the disease also in the same way the atonement of Jesus Christ is the only ground for any benefit to the fallen man how can God save any part of man except through the atonement all of this typical atonements point to and prefigure the Calvary which is the final atonement as in the Old Testament scriptures the types assure that healing was invariably through atonement so also the Gospels in the New Testament when we look at Gospel of Matthew chapter 4 the Bible says so the news about him spread throughout all Syria and they brought to him all who were sick those suffering with various diseases and pains and those under the power of demons epileptics paralytics and he healed them and when we come to the Gospel of Matthew chapter 8 verses 16 and 17 there again it's written definitely says that Christ was healing all the diseases on the grounds of the atonement the atonement was his reason for making no exceptions while healing the sick the Bible says here he healed all that were sick that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah saying himself took our infirmities and he bore our sicknesses it is our sicknesses he bore he's atonement embracing us all that and it would require the healing of all to fulfill this prophecy when we just take a look at Isaiah 53 verses 4 and 5 it says he assuredly agrees he himself bore and the sorrows he carried yet we ourselves he esteemed him stricken smitten of God and afflicted when we see this word bore our sorrows the Bible here states of this word in in in this word it is our griefs and our sorrows the word for grief is coli meaning sickness and the word sorrow is pain so it is very clear that he bore our sicknesses and he bore our pains which is physical as well as mental now in the first Corinthians chapter 10 was 11 paul is telling us bill i think that's the same time's up but you can finish yeah i'll just finish first okay so paul tells us all of these things happen to us for examples for our admonition and that which has come on the ends of the age in the sense this is for both the Gentiles and as well for the Israelites people both the Israelites and the Gentiles and also paul says in first Corinthians 11 verse chapter 11 verses 29 and 30 that Christ's body when talking about the Communion is talking about the Christ's body that is to be estimated or examined when we partake of it so that so that the life of Jesus may also be made manifest in our mortal flesh which is written in 2nd Corinthians 411 in conclusion i just wanted to say that Jesus tells us in Luke 4th chapter verse 19 that he was anointed to preach the acceptable year of the Lord referring to the Old Testament year of Jubilee which shows the year of Jubilee is the gospel era where people were supposed to return to their own possessions on the day of atonement where their turning sacrifice was offered and mercy was granted to the people there was a blowing of the trumpet that announced their liberty and their release and then it says each man can return to our own possession so we are in the gospel era where Christ atonement and the announcing of the trumpet or the gospel trumpet that says he bore our sins and he bore our sicknesses to be sounder to every creature and then every man is to return to his own possession so the two outstanding possessions to be restored for us in this gospel area era is the health for our soul and health for our body that the inner man and the outer man both may be made whole ready for the service of God thoroughly furnished onto every good work so that we could finish our course so thank you so much pastor and thank you everyone Amen amen thank you thank you billa yeah i think that was a it was a very powerful reminder of the truth of atonement in the cross and yeah i was you know taking back many years ago and my wife and i used to come back and you know sit and listen to these things were new to us like the atonement in the cross and what jesus died for us healing as well as forgiveness and forgiveness as well as healing and so we used to come and listen to those cassette tapes you know just sit and listen and after work maybe a few hours just take time to do that this is a reminder of you know those messages again yeah but just coming back it was a very clear i think teaching right starting from the Old Testament types and you moved on to the gospels and and how healing is in the atonement and a very necessary and important message and of course i think the natural progression would be to to pray for healing right as as you finish the message so so why don't we do that right so that's my feedback billa i think it was good you need more time of course and this actually cannot be compressed in 12 minutes we need to really you know take more time so yeah so that's another thing to think about you know you know the topic why is you know do i do it in 12 minutes or is this something you know that can that i can do it over three days you know that's also something to think about you know the topic and the time so yeah so i'll just that's my feedback class if you have anything more to share i can see a few feedback you can you know share to billa yeah okay so let's pray them let's pray for let's pray for healing maybe some of us you know this based on what we heard right as i have 53 versus four and five he himself bore our graves sorrows so we know what he bore on the cross and he did it for us today maybe you have something in your own body that needs change or maybe there this maybe someone in your family or someone in your friend circle who need the touch of God so so let's let's just pray let's believe God let's pray so i'll just request billa to pray billa quickly if you can just pray for those of us who need their healing and so you can if you just pray go ahead yeah sure heavenly father we come into your presence father

thank pastor for giving me this opportunity this morning and my sermon topic for this morning is an imperishable jewel in God's sight topic is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit and the title of the sermon is imperishable jewel in God's sight and the text I have taken is from first Peter third chapter first Peter third chapter three to six I would like to read three to six your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair and the wearing of old jewelry and fine clothes instead it should be that of your inner self the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight but this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful they were submissive to their own husbands like Sarah who obeyed Abraham and called him her master you are his daughter her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear I'll just say a word of prayer Father God we commit this message and we want you to speak to our hearts open our hearts open our ears Lord Father God to receive your word and please give me the grace to convey what you want me to convey Lord in the name of Jesus we invite you Holy Spirit God to take over in Jesus name amen. Today morning I want to just highlight in this passage the gentle spirit the inward spirit this passage is talking about we all know the first Peter in the first Peter letters is talking about submission submission to our leaders submission to our masters here it is the submission of a wife to her husband in that context this is written here a gentle spirit means is the spirit that is gentle tender humble mild and considerate it is a spirit that is disciplined and under control at all times it does not flare up talk back rant act defensively cutting rave and go on and on a gentle spirit will not whine and whimper or act persecuted or take on a martyr complex so we see not only women but to the church to the bride of Christ it is written put on gentleness and humility it's a gentle tender me considerate disciplined and controlled spirit it also talks about a quiet spirit what does it mean to be quiet and a peaceful spirit a spirit that is at peace with God and with itself and that builds peace with its loved ones husband maybe the family a quiet spirit specks peace all throughout its home and around everyone who enters its own so God is saying this is a something which he really values and this spirit is like an adornment usually we like to adorn ourselves outwardly to enhance our beauty or presenting ourselves well but God is saying more than that he's not against it but he's more than that he's looking at our hearts what are we putting on inside where no one else can see and only God can see he's saying that a gentle and a quiet spirit he values and it is imperishable all the jewels we wear perish but this is very valuable and imperishable in God's sight that is what this scripture is mentioning and also we he's talking about an example of Sarah Sarah we all know that she is Sarai her name was my princess the meaning of Sarai but God changed her name to Sarah mother of many nations and we have to remember as Abraham is the pioneer and father of faith Sarah is also a mother of faith and we never think of Sarah in the lines of that she had a quiet and gentle spirit but when we look at when we nearly meditate on her life the the life she went through we see that he this gentle spirit is man if it is very easy to be gentle when everything everything around is working out very well but our gentleness it is tested when the the circumstances around us are very pressing and when we are not comfortable in that position we all know that Abraham was called out from his people from his nation to live everything and to without knowing the address where he had to go he started you had to start traveling towards that place believing in God just imagine we all it is called traveling came from a word called travail travail is a word which speaks about intense pain or discomfort we go through a travail can be like a mother giving birth to a child so in in those days traveling was so difficult traveling was so dangerous going to do strange places and all but in those places she agreed with her husband to follow God in faith to go to those places if i were there i would have agitated leaving my home leaving my comfortable all the people whom i love everything to live everything back and walk with my husband to the place where God is showing and you also have to remember that they don't have anyone to fall back they were pioneers of faith so they were walking only with the voice of God speaking to them once in a while they did not have written scripture they did not have a body of believers to first comfort them or strengthen them guide them through we have to keep those things in mind when we are talking about Sarah and Abraham and we have to remember that at 75 years Abraham left his place with his even he wanted God wanted to live everything but in the beginning he had to travel with his father and also with his nephew lot we all know that but i'm not dwelling on that you know it's very difficult to travel we don't know where you're going where you're going to next place of dwelling and they were not going alone they had 318 people born in their home warriors so you can understand how many sets of people are traveling families are traveling along with them and the the herds and all the animal husbandry that is following them you can understand the magnanimity of the travel they're traveling towards and here God is saying her heart is so beautiful and in Genesis 12 you say you can see there Abraham saying to his wife in 12th chapter when they then they had to face a once 12th chapter 10 and 11 verses now there was a famine in the land and Abraham went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe as he was about to enter Egypt he said to his wife sarai i know what a beautiful woman you are when the Egyptians see you they will say this is his wife then they will kill me and but will let you live say you are my sister so that i will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you this is what Abraham saying to his wife sarai this is not after they started and traveled to Egypt that is saying to his wife you have to understand that even before they started their journey in Genesis 20 you see that he says in um he's talking to Abimalek the king Abraham replied said to myself there is surely no fear of God in this place and they will kill me because of my wife honey one one more thing 12th verse he said i said to her this is how you can show your love to me everywhere we go say of me he is my brother this is what Abraham wanted sarai to say wherever they went to the strange lands and you have to understand the threat was very real they used to they if the wife is beautiful they'll just kill the husband and take her away your fear his fears are not um they're valued they are genuine fears and i don't understand how sarai agreed to that because for a woman giving her life is very easy but giving her honor to sacrifice her honor is very difficult i don't know i see a deep relationship a friendship a understanding of her husband fears and a deep and she had a strong faith in the in the god who called us called them during that time even though she's not expressive but you see a a quiet spirit in her a gentle spirit in her she's not talking back or in anger for what all Abraham is doing because every time they travel every time they they are going through a travail so many problems but she is always you never see her talking in it she's very quiet and gentle because god the spirit of god is saying that i could understand as a woman woman myself if i am in her shoes how will i feel in that situations in the pressure in the pressure they are going through and she was promised they were promised a child she waited for nine years after the promise i don't know how long we wait for the promises to be fulfilled in our lives but we are very quick to judge when sarah so many times here we see her so beautiful and sarupa i think the time is up but can you yeah you can conclude now yeah okay sorry and uh you see her so beautifully and how god rescues her and i just wanted to highlight jesus he has rescued sarah but jesus gave his life and he has sacrificed his honor and his holiness on the cross for each one of us that we may be part of his family so we see a great sacrifice we have received and made part of god's kingdom and as it's bride of christ god wants us to put on this quiet and gentle spirit which is not easy but with the spirit with the help of the holy spirit god god will enable us thank you sir sorry for that no problem at all thank you there's a wonderful message thank you um yeah um i was i was wondering you know what you are going to share actually as a imperishable vessel in god's sight and i never really looked at sarah i know most times we we look at abraham's life and study you know abraham and he's he's out there you know up there in front very tall figure with regards to faith and all that so you know very visible out there but normally we we know that sarah laughed and you know we so we kind of not i don't know at least me personally i not really spend time studying and looking into sarah's life so this was quite my hope now thank you thank you rupa so um yeah a gentle spirit quiet spirit um now to god looks at it as something very precious like something that that that beautifies a person um and something that that is a like a beautiful jewel and it's amazing to see that the character of the heart is seen as something that's that's like a jewel that's something precious and something that beautifies uh one of the inside and yeah and and also the inside that you know your gentleness will be tested you know it's it's easy to be gentle with gentle people people who are gentle but people who are aggressive and people who are loud and who are arrogant maybe and rude it's uh and it's so much more challenging to continue to be gentle right and i think that's where the that's where god's spirit helps us to do that and yeah so thank you for sharing that i think it was a very detailed study and you know as a teacher you know just went i think from the basics and the text and the you know even describing the title and the sermon title and the topic and yeah so very very very detailed etc yeah so my only thing is of course time you know you can be mindful of that and yeah mindful of that and and probably you know certain things you can cut down and just mention and then keep going when it comes to time and then you know it's it'll be even even more impactful right because we really wanted to hear you know the whole especially a topic like this you know we would want to hear the whole thing and yeah so planning according to time that will really help you to even finish on a very high impact kind of a note right yeah yeah yeah it was good absolutely no no need to apologies at all we were blessed thank you and i just wanted to share something yeah yeah this message is directly i never meditated on it but one day one hindu she was just coming to faith and she came to me and said why didn't you compare our gods with your god then i said how can i compare something nothing with something everything god is everything and we cannot compare which is nothing there is no nothing there so then when i sat there holy spirit god started revealing this character to me and i was just standing in awe of that because i never saw sarah like that before but when i saw it and the love and the way god let those people from faith to faith abraham and sarah from faith to faith but so it touched my heart and it was very powerful and when i was praying god wanted me to share it with you with our friends also thank you right wonderful thank you thank you so much right okay so uh yeah we've come to the end of this last session so um this thing so um uh i just wanted to say that wednesday this that is today we are monday to wednesday um uh we okay let me just stop the recording um just stay with me for a minute please
