Hello my dear friends, Namaskaram, good morning and good evening and praise the Lord. And a warm welcome to one and all of you and I greet you in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As always I feel very privileged and happy. It's my great pleasure that all of us are unified in this one name, the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I'm sorry I did not check my collars, they're not up to the mark. okay so here we are at another time in a turn of the session and our objective or motive is just one that we want to go through the Word of God and we want to ensure that we cover all the topics some of them through detailed Bible teaching and some of them through this kind of short conversations our ultimate intention is every one of us should know every single detail every bit and corner every nook and corner of the Bible why because Bible is the law book I do not know how many of you look at this book as a law book what is law book for example there is a case criminal case happening in the court and there is a defense lawyer there is a public prosecutor and there is a judge trial I mean there is a trial that is happening in the court trial that is happening and the judge is listening to both the parties ultimately he will pass the verdict. You know on what basis he will pass the verdict? He will pass the verdict based on the law book. Not this law book. For them, the law of the land will define a law book. In India, it is called as IPC, Penal Court, right? Indian Penal Court. Based on that, various sections are there. According to that, he will be passing the verdict. Likewise, in the day of judgment, White Throne Judgment, Revelation chapter 20, verse number 11 to 15, the great judge, the lord of lords the king of kings the father god and his only son jesus will pass the verdict based on our based on this law book but they will be judging all the accounts right they you will have to settle all the deeds of your life your action your reaction the words of your mouth and action and reaction means everything the anger bitterness envy jealous this and that second timothy 3 1 to 9 colossians 3 5 to 9 mark 7 21 to 23 1 timothy 1 9 and 10 1 corinthian 6 9 and 10, Romans 1 29 to 32, Romans 6 13 to 20, Ephesians 4 31 and the Galatians 5 17 to 21, Titus chapter 1 verses 5 and 8, Revelation 21 8. I have to tell this very quickly because I have to get into the message. Why am I referring all of these is because there are at least 50 to 60 different types of sinful deeds. You have to explore, you have to discover, re-examine, reinvent that who you are before God here on earth. Therefore, you have a chance to rectify your error and you know go through the course corrections and you will not end up in that lake of fire right that's the why because our god is very fair he is going to judge everything that he has written down and given in the hands of every mankind some people they consider it as the holy book and they keep it 10 feet above sea level right or some people the traditional book they just read it as like a traditional some people read it like a duty otherwise my father will really manhandle me something like that no read it as a book because read it as a law book because this book is the one which is going to judge you and me a warm welcome to this session today we are going to talk from the book of isaiah chapter 44 verses 6 to 8 will be our meditation verse the title is a fantastic title that's why i love this nkjv right if at all you have various other versions niv bsi and all other other versions i'm not saying you should not read it it's nice actually to know what is the interpretation that other versions are giving. But then do not refrain from the original version. This is very close to the Aramaic version, right? There is no other God. Simple as that. Many people, if you ask, there is no other God. Yes, brother, we know that because Jesus is our Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Philippians chapter 2 verses 10 and 11. We definitely know this because he is the Lord who sacrificed his blood. He is the Lord who gave his life. He is the Lord who is our intercessor. He is the Lord who is our advocate. He is the Lord who takes care of our needs. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He keeps his eye over all the mankind and even for the wicked he is giving the showers of rain and all that. You go and talk about this concept to a person belonging to other religion or any other religion who understands that there is someone called as God. They will all talk in the universal language but they will never refer the name of Jesus. That is where the problem is. Because Jesus came to this world, right, to defeat the Adamic sin as the second Adam. And the important, the prime responsibility of the second Adam was to lead us through the life of salvation, right? There wasn't salvation. What is salvation? Salvation is tightly coupled to deliverance, right? The whole world has been involved in sins and sinful deeds since the time Adamic sin had entered into our flesh, the carnal system. There wasn't anyone who could really cleanse us, redeem us eternally, forever, right? And that is the blood of Jesus because why? There was no blemish in his blood. Although he was tempted like you and me at all points, Jesus had not fallen as a prey to any of the sinful deeds. The devil was never able to defeat our Lord. Otherwise, in other words, Jesus crushed the head of the Satan right under his feet and he has given the same powers to you and me according to Romans 16 20. Now why am I talking all this is because many people think that my uncle is there my father is there my mother is there my wife is there my husband is there elders they think oh my children is there they have grown up they will take care of me and all that people may be there they are instruments in the hands of god but who is the ultimate authority who controls everything who is the ultimate instrument that is able to rescue me rescue you and save us from all sort of endangering situations is God and Him alone. There is no other God. There is no other God. There is no other human being who can come to rescue us from the times, during the times of need, right? And even doctors also, many people trust in doctors and medicines and medical science and this and that, nothing wrong. But then even the doctors at some point of time, they will say, God is great, please pray, may He save you. Because even the medical science has got its own limitations. This is one aspect. second aspect is there is no other god other than our yahweh god very very clear bible is very clear you one of the important commandments among the ten commandments is you shall not bow down before any other gods why because god is spirit no man can engrave his image no man can carve his nose eyes and height and stature and all that heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool what home are you going to build for me is the lord who's asking in the book of Isaiah, right? So, you all have to understand, listening to me, you may be a believer, unbeliever, belonging to any other religion. We are not saying anything that if you are an idolter, we are not condemning you, but then we are giving you that awareness. You cannot engrave an image and call, this is the God. This is how God is going to look like and all that, right? But if you say the same thing to people, they contradict. They say that, brother we understand your concept but it is only a belief we really want to have a belief system in the form of some idol or some kind of you know place of worship and all that place of worship no problem where people gather in the name of jesus all the brethren will have to have fellowship and you have take take part and communicate in it that's not a problem take part in communion that's not a problem but then if you have any idol in the name of uh you know some other in the in the name of God and goddess or whatever, right? That is not this God. There is no other God other than him and he is in the form of spirit. Especially in the new covenant standards, it has come in the form of Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit dwells inside you and me. Our body itself is the temple of God and what temple you are running towards. Again, I don't mean to say you shouldn't go to church and all that, but then you go to church as a, you know, representation, right? You definitely need membership there are various other reasons you need to go to church for marriages funerals this and that i understand as we live on this earth there are various other things for which we need church too but then the main reason why you need to understand this is your body itself is the church the temple of god and this god wants to dwell inside you and me that's new covenant right and there is no other god other than this yahoo god and his only son jesus who was sent to this world who died for you and me in whose name there is redemption and there is no other rescue that you can also go and search that's what we discussed in the first point you may go to anyone ultimately god is in control why because there isn't any other god who can be like him who will come to your rescue who will come to your deliverance who will always safeguard you who will always instruct you who will always guide you and who will always shepherd you and who will love you mercifully eternally. His mercies are everlasting, Bible says. His kind and His compassionate Bible says in Psalms 145, 8 and 9, Psalm 103, 11, Psalm 107, 11, Isaiah 54, 10 and 11, Isaiah 55, 8 and 9. As far as the heavens are above, so is my kindness, so is my compassion, right? And that's why God also said this very clearly. The word of God says, my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts our thoughts are very limited right because our wisdom is like Amoeba's wisdom our God is greater in wisdom therefore it's better to rely on this God and there is no other God who can take place take his place or there is no other human being who can take his place he is God and he's Yahweh right you are the Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth that song is there now you You are, you are God, you are God, God, God. You, you are, you are God, you are God, God, God. A wonderful song. So when you sing that song, there's a wonderful tune. But just don't get carried away in the tune. Understand the meaning. You and you alone are God. No one can take your place. Now let's read the book of Isaiah chapter 44 verse number 6. Thus is the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer. Now see, Jesus has come into picture. Who is the Redeemer? My Redeemer lives. Job said that and he was able to see that vision. My Redeemer is going to come. Job existed somewhere between 0 to 500 years since the earth was formed to its shape. Okay. And even at that point of time, Moses was not born. Bible was not given. Law of Moses was not there. Nothing. but his revelation was very clear that this world required a redeemer. Why? Because we are in bondage. We are in bondage. Adam has fallen and the sin is still prevailing Yeah he was able to understand He is a man of common sense understanding and knowledge And even after several thousands of years even after having this kind of Bible and Jesus coming and all his saints coming and all his prophets coming and written writing it down clearly and giving it to us Many of us don't even have this kind of knowledge which Job had without any of these materials. That's a sad situation of the mankind. Don't you think so? Redeemer, right? The Lord of hosts, I am the first, I am the last. Besides me, there is no God. Every beginning has an end. Beginning also starts with God, end also ends with God. In between, whatever happens, God is in control. You and I need to come into that kind of understanding, first of all, right? And never ever think, God has taken off his hands. Yes, God could have taken of his hands because why? Sin separated you from the love of God. Sin separated you from the presence of God. And first of all, go and fix those sinful deeds. That's why I gave you those references for which you need to introspect. For which you need to fast and pray to understand if God has taken off his hands. Why? Because his eyes are eyes of purity. Zechariah 14 says that he cannot look on the wicked things. Habakkuk 1.13 says that, right? And Psalms 14.2 says that he cannot look on those wicked things. He cannot look on those filthy things. He cannot look on those dirty things. And the Holy Spirit walks out of your body. And whose problem is this? It is your problem. It's not God's problem. He has written it down clearly and given it to us. What are his likes and dislikes? And you always go and embrace the dislikes of God. God will not dwell in that place. And that's why sometimes, you know, in the beginning God would be there, but somewhere in the middle, you would have lost the presence of God. This is where, you know, people really get shaken. People really go astray and dismayed and discouraged and they come to a conclusion, oh, what is this kind of God? He's deaf, he's dumb, he's blind and all that. No, don't curse God. Examine yourself. Rediscover who you are. Reinvent who you are and then come to God. You know, God invites you. 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Repentance and reconciliation. Paul had written down those things very beautifully. Read all those things and he has taught you certain principles of repentance. Acts chapter 2 verse number 38 says that. Through repentance there shall be remission of sins and you will reconcile with the Father and you will receive the anointing of the Holy Ghost once again. That's why in the beginning, you know, you would have seen God and his presence. Somewhere in the middle, you know, God is not there. That is why you get shaken. And what happens is if you fail to discover, the devil shall take control over your life. And what happens after that is towards the end, you will see that devil is there. Beginning was with God, like Adam and Eve. When they were created, they walked in the cool of the day with the Father in heaven. But how was their end? The end was having their fellowship with the devil and they lost the presence of God. And God threw them out of the Eden garden. And he cursed the land. And he had to till the ground. Until that time, it was a different method of agriculture. He would speak to the trees and they will yield the fruit. He doesn't have to do anything. Just take care of the God and that's it. Now he has to work hard and they will be, you know, yielding the briars and the thorns. Yeah, that's the curse. Many people live their life in curse. Why? Because there is no God in their life. They started with that God, Yahweh God. But somewhere in the middle, they got distracted and deviated. Today, what is your position? My dear beloved sister, my dear beloved brother. Please examine who you are. Please examine who is inside of you. Bunch of unclean spirits are dwelling or is it the Holy Spirit who is dwelling? Are you being led by the Holy Spirit or are you being led by the evil spirit? You may be wealthy, you may be prosperous, you may be very rich, you may be even healthy. But then there is no necessity that, you know, Holy Spirit is the one who is making you rich and wealthy and healthy. Where is the source of your money coming from? And how are you handling this money? Are you involved in charitable deeds? Are you helping the poor, the needy? downtrodden or you are staking up the money you have too much of attention towards your wealth and gold and silver and money then god is not in you all right so let's move on and who can proclaim as i do who can proclaim as i do proclaiming means what proclaiming means what you know kind of exercising that authority who's more authoritative than me who's more authoritative than me to declare certain things, command certain things, stipulate certain things, order certain things. God himself is the authority, right? And then let him declare it and set it in order for me. He is challenging. If there is someone else who is mightier than me, greater than me or equivalent to me, come, come to the front end, see what you can do about it. You know, many of the people when they are sick or one of their beloved, you know members of the family are sick or sick bed battling for life that's when you will see all of them getting super spiritual but when everything is well they will be spend trips spending time and party this and that i'm not saying you should be always living a sorrowful life but then live that life in fear of god right have that pat for god always thank god in everything you do yeah those who shall meditate in the word of the lord day and night god is pleased with him Yeah, God likes him so much. See, look at my servant. He's neither turns to the left nor to the right, always focusing on me. That is why King David was so beloved to him. What is the one thing that David did? Seven times a day he worships God, regardless of any situation, whether the sun rises or not, whether he is sick or healthy. As long as the breath is in his nostrils he used to worship God What a great man of God isn it That is a very simple principle It not very tough And the things sorry since I appointed the ancient people and the things that are coming and shall come, let them show these to them. Yeah. If there is a man who can tell me what is going to happen in the future, fine. I will resign my job. You come and take my throne. Who can see the future? Do you know what will happen in your life the next microsecond? I do not know. As I am talking, anything could happen. Jesus could come for the second time, right? Anything could happen. Forget about negative things, even positive things. Jesus' second coming is positive, right? It could happen. Do you know? Father in heaven knows that. Even Jesus said, hey, why are you guys nudging me? I don't even know. My father in heaven alone knows when I would come for the second time because he is the authority. He is in authoritative position and God the Father says the same thing that our coming shall come and let them show this to them. Do not fear nor be afraid, right? Do not be worried about your future. Do not be worried about your tomorrow. Jesus also mentioned this in Matthew chapter 6. If you read the whole chapter, he would have told this, right? Do not worry what I will eat, what I will wear, what will be my shelter, will my children grow up or if they grow up, what will happen after that, who is going to get married. Our people, it is all nice to petition. I'm not against it. Even I fast and pray and I pray for my children and my future and all that. But then I'm not worried about it. Why? Greater is he within me than there is in the world. He who called me is faithful. He who began the good work in me will help me to finish it. Philippians, once it says that. And he who neither slumbers nor sleeps has set his eye on me through my going out and coming in. He's watching over me and he is not sleeping. I'm sleeping comfortably, but even while I'm sleeping, he is not sleeping. He's watching over me. Psalms 121, 7 and 9 says that. These are the words of promises of God. This is promise. See, Bible is divided into four categories. Promise, laws, commandments, guidelines and principles. That is the fourth thing. A lot of principles you can extract. You need to divide Bible into these four categories and map it to these attributes. Only then you can read the word of God. Now, what I am reading is a kind of a principle that you and I need to adopt. rely on God depend on God why because there is no other God other than this God who can help us wherever you may go you will ensure that he will ensure that you return back to him because why he loves you he loves you unconditionally eternally but it is we who will reject why because we don't want to turn our focus let me go to that doctor let me go to this banker let me go to that uncle that relative, every one of them would ditch you. Even then also people continue to make efforts. Let me ask him again. Let me go to him. Ask the father. Give him a chance. He is readily waiting. Yeah. Ask me and I will give you nations for your inheritance. What is not possible with our God? With men it is impossible. But with God all things are possible. Matthew 19.26 says that. Do not fear. Not be afraid. This is why you should not fear. This is why you should not afraid. Because the spirit of fear is from the devil and not from God. Spirit of power, love and sound mind is from our God. 2 Timothy 1.7 says that. Have I not told you from the time and declared it? Yeah. God always says that and Jesus also said the same thing in John 14.1 and 14.27. Do not be afraid. In this world there are trouble but I have given you the peace which the world cannot offer. Yeah. Jesus also declares it. And you are my witness. Is there a God besides me? Indeed there is no other rock. I know not one. God the Father says, I do not know any other person who is equivalent to me or more than me. You are all under me. Why? Because I am God. I am the Alpha and Omega. I am the beginning and the end. I am the first and the last. With that we close. My dear beloved sisters, my dear brothers, I know all of us have some or other problems in life. Whatever may be your problem tonight or wherever, which part of the world you are, just close your eyes for a minute and pray to God and ask him, claim these verses, whichever we have spoken today from Isaiah 44 and ask God, yeah, this is true. I believe that you are God and you have power over every situation. Therefore, I'm so sorry that I had been unfaithful. I have gone to some other person. I've been afraid and all that. Today, I believe in you. I trust in your father and don't immediately expect things to change. Okay. God is going to test you, but he knows the timing. Why? Because he is faithful. His kind heart, Bible says, is full of kindness in his heart. And he will not allow anything beyond what you could bear. And he will give the strength to bear. He will make a way for you to escape, 1 Corinthians 10, 13 says. 2 Corinthians 4, 17 and 18 says that all these afflictions only are there for a mere moment. But they will pass away because they are temporary and not permanent. Yeah? God bless you. Take care and do not be afraid. Stay encouraged in the Lord.
