The Sin Cycle

When you are fasting, you are abstaining yourself from doing what the body loves doing. So if the body loves the club, say to the body, shut up. I'm fasting.

I'm not taking you to the club. If the body wants to drink, you will say no more. If the body wants to have fun, you say no more.

You drag the body to the church and take him into that crevice of that rock and hide in it, lest Satan devours you. He will change you from dust to rock. That's the first quality.

Second quality, nor stands in the path of sinners. The man, Jesus Christ, will change you from sinner to saint. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

I will never be a stumbling stone for the sinners. I hate sin, but I love the sinner. That's why I came.

But for me, to come and save you from your sinful life and enter your home and eat with you, I want you to open the door. My role is to knock, but your role is to open. I will not force myself in.

And if I do, I am seen as a thief. And I will never accept for me to be a thief, unless I'm the owner of the house. I cannot accept anything else.

I'll knock, he who opens the door. I will enter and dine with him. I'll have dinner with him.

He will eat from my plate, I will eat from his plate. I will take all your sins and I will give you all my holiness. I'll change you from a sinner to saint, if you follow the man.

Third quality, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. The man, who is Jesus Christ, will change us from slaves to sons. That's the third quality.

He will change us from slaves to sons. The Lord said it. I do not take ownership neither from you Satan nor from any man.

I take it from my father, because my father made me that king over the hill of Zion. I am known to be the king of all kings. And I took this ownership from my heavenly father.

I listen to no one but my dad, who art in heaven. This is the man you must be proud of. For that man makes God everything.

Everything for him. My daughter, marry the man that loves the Lord. Don't marry a rich man.

Don't marry a handsome man. Marry a man that loves the Lord. You will never regret it.

Never. The third quality, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. The man, who is Jesus Christ, will change us from slaves to sons.

Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion. Three qualities of the man that will give to all of us if we truly believe and trust in him and follow him. One, he will become a rock in him.

Satan can't leave a mark on you anymore, because Christ is your protector. Because you willingly made him your protector. And he is the rock.

He is the only rock as the man in all of humanity. All humanity are dust, except Jesus. Rock is not dust.

That's why his body never decayed. Lives forever. Dust decays.

Dies. His body is alive and living forever. As the rock.

One of the church fathers of the east, where I belong to, says there are three ways you do not see a mark left behind. Three ways you do not see a print or a mark left behind. One, an eagle in the sky.

Two, a boat in the sea. Three, a snake on the rock. An eagle in the sky.

The eagle flies in the sky and goes. You come, you can't tell if there was an eagle that was flying here five minutes ago. Because there is no mark left.

And who is the eagle here that flies in the sky that leaves no mark? Saints. The life of saints is hidden. Why? Because it's a private life between them and God only.

A life full of secrets. An intimate life between the heavenly groom and the bride, who is the church. A person that has truly sacrificed their life for the Lord Jesus, do not talk much about themselves.

And even if they talk, what they say compared to what they don't say is not even one percent. Why? Because Christ, when he makes you an eagle in his heaven, you will live, you will fly, you will walk, you will talk like him. What do you know about Christ? Not much.

Very secretive and very quiet. He only spoke for three and a half years, but he was silent in heaven for six thousand years. Biblically speaking.

The boat in the sea. When the boat is sailing, it cuts through the waters, you see the path. But as it leaves, a couple of minutes later, the water comes back and the path is wiped, is gone.

You come, you don't know if a boat passed through here or not. There is no track left behind. When the Lord Jesus touches your heart and starts transforming you from being a slave, from being a sinner, from being worldly into spiritual, heavenly, into the sun, when you walk on earth and live for Christ while on earth, you will sail through this earth, or this world which is the sea, you will sail through it, but all they see is a small mark and then it fades away.

They don't know much about you. And a lot of times, they don't even know anything about you. And like we said, snake on the rock, Satan can't win with Christ who is the rock.

No matter how much he tries, he can't leave a print back. And then, the third quality, he will make us sons. Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

From slaves to sons. When does a person become a slave? You can tell me. Do you know when we are slaves? When we follow the flesh of the spirit.

We are slaves. We become slaves to our own lusts. We become slaves to the world.

We become slaves to other people. We become slaves eventually to Satan. The moment we walk in the flesh, in other words, all we care about, a person that cares about what shall I eat, what shall I drink, what kind of a house shall I have, what kind of a car, dress, I need to go out, I need to have fun, I need to travel, I need to go partying, I need to go, I need to do, I need, I need, I, I, I, I. This I is all day long being repeated by me.

It's about me. That person becomes a slave to the lust, to the world, to people, to Satan. Even people will direct your footsteps.

All you care about is about what people think of you. All you care about is to please people. That's your focus because you're living for the world.

You are not focusing on Christ. Therefore, the moment we lose focus on Christ, everything becomes material. Christ is spirit.

Christ is spiritual. Christ said it. The birds of the sky have a nest to dwell in.

Foxes have homes to go and live in. But the son of man, Jesus Christ, has nowhere to lay his head on. He came to take us to heaven, not to give us this world.

He came to give us heaven, eternal life. Joy forever, glory forever, honor forever, dignity forever, identity forever, home forever. Son forever, no more slave, son.

Freedom is when you have the son. And if the son sets you free, truly you are free, says the Holy Bible, says the Lord. And if the son, who is Jesus Christ, sets you free, truly you are free.

When do we become free? When we are sons, not slaves. And when are we slaves? When we lose track of Christ. We become worldly.

And everything that is worldly is slavery. Slavery. Slavery.

A slave works all their life, but they own nothing. They own nothing. We work very hard in this world, all our life, and at the end death takes away everything.

We live with nothing. That's slavery. You follow the world, you own nothing.

Did anyone die and took home and car and money and gold and diamonds with them? Empty. Empty handed I came out of the womb of my mother and it is also known that I will go back to my mother earth, to the grave, also empty handed. That is slavery.

I came with nothing, I chased nothing, I became a nothing. Slave. But the son inherits the father and everything the father has.

Now that is freedom. Christ, the man, says if you follow me and believe in me, I will make you a rock, for I am the rock. Where Satan can't win with you anymore.

And I will change you from a sinner to a saint. Where you will fly like an eagle in the heaven of your Christ. And you leave no mark for others to know what Christ is doing for you.

This is between me and you only. And then I will make you at the end, my son. Whatever I have, you have.

The kingdom is yours. The throne is yours. The glory is yours.

The honor is yours. You are the inheritor and you are the heir to my throne and to my kingdom. Everything becomes yours.

And not only the kingdom, I will become you and you will become me. We become one. Amen.

I got worried for a moment, you are too quiet. I hope I haven't lost you. So my beloveds, this is it.

This is Psalm 11. It took us two weeks, thank God. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, not in the way of Satan.

Nor stands in the path of sinners. The one who becomes a reason for people to change and come back to Christ. You'll be like Christ.

He came to win souls, Christ will make you win souls for Him. Instead of being a stumbling stone, you will lay the path for sinners to come back to Jesus Christ through you. People will love the Lord.

And blessed is the soul that is the reason for people to love Christ. Blessed is that soul. He will never stand in the path of sinners.

Never be an obstacle in the path of sinners. But rather be a reason for sinners to run to Christ and say, Lord, forgive me for I have sinned before you in heaven. Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

The seat of the scornful are those who are slaves to their own ways. Slaves to the world. Slaves to the people of the world.

Slaves to Satan. Men, in other words, slaves he has scornful are the hypocrites. Hypocrites.

The Lord says, do not be a hypocrite. If you love someone, then love him. And if you don't, then you better tell him I don't love you.

Don't say I love you in their face and something else behind their back. That is hypocrisy. What did these priests, scribes and Pharisees do? They were all bunch of hypocrites.

They chose Caesar over Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He can't be any more hypocrite than this. Caesar enslaved you for 200 years.

Jesus Christ came to set you free. And you are saying we don't have a king. We only have one king, Caesar.

What a bunch of hypocrites. Hypocrites are usually slaves. Because they suck up to people.

Is that the slang way of saying it? Listen. I like the Prime Minister of this country. I will always pray for whoever is the Prime Minister of this country.

But I will never be a hypocrite. If you do something wrong, I'll say it in your face, my dear friend. But I love you.

And this is the person you need to have as a friend, my dear Prime Minister. Not the hypocrites that laugh in your face and stab you in the back. Bishop loves you.

He will never stab you. So make me that advisor. I'll fix Australia tomorrow.

What the western world lacks is family value. If you want to fix a country, fix the family. Do not be a reason for the division of that family.

How dare you brainwash children and take them away from their family. Yes, protect them from harmful parents. But do not lose track of good principles, morals and values that make a family bond strong.

That's why increase the wages for moms to stay at home. Because child cares cannot be mom. Child cares cannot be mom.

That teacher is not mom. So you are depriving that little angel from mom's love, from mom's bosom. You're depriving that baby.

Now that's the whole idea. That's the whole idea. How do you destroy a nation? By destroying the family.

Then the nation is destroyed. The Lord, God is family. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Beautiful. Family. Because that's where love is made possible.

That's where love is made possible. In the family. When this couple got together they made family.

They created another human being. The only place where humans are like God in creation is in the family. In the marital bond.

That's why Satan is so, so, so trying frantically to destroy the marital bond. My son, my daughter, I beg you. Adam and Steve can't be.

It is Adam and Eve. And please, I beg you. When you are married, look after this marital bond.

Don't let worldly materialistic things destroy it because you are disconnecting yourself from God. You need this family. For God is family.

That's where love is only made possible. In the family. Nowhere else.

And what made the family marriage? Do you see how much marriage is attacked in our time and age? Oh my goodness. Why? Because Satan doesn't want marriage in the way God chose it to be. From the beginning, God chose the man and the woman and brought them together and said, Multiply, increase and fill the face of the earth with children.

Family. And Satan, what did Satan do? The very first thing in the Garden of Eden, he destroyed the family bond. Because Satan knows, the moment he destroys the family, he destroys the church, he destroys society, he destroys humanity.

The Western world, and I know it's a deliberate act, but the Western world must come back to family value. Otherwise, it will be gone with the wind. Never to come back.

If the Western world thinks, some of them, not all of them, think they believe in Jesus Christ, the true living God, which he is. But you're not living the true living God. There are other parts of the world where they do not believe in Jesus Christ as God, but they're living quite comfortably, you know why? Because they have family value.

I come from the Middle East. In the Middle East, family value is very highly respected and honored. A son who is married, he is maybe 40, 40, 50 years of age, the son, when he comes to talk to his dad, he will never look into his dad's face.

He will bow and put his head to the ground and talk to dad out of respect. But this son is a father, himself is a father, but he talks with honor. And when he comes, he kisses the father's hand and the mom's.

This is very big, even when you are not believing in Jesus Christ. Because, whether you believe or not, Jesus Christ is God. And he said, honor your father and mother, for I shall bless you and give you a long life.

We need to come back to this family bond. We need to be those sons once again. My son, don't live for yourself.

My daughter, don't live for yourself. Live for the Lord. Live for the family.

Pray for the family. If your dad is a difficult one, pray for him. If your mom is a difficult one, pray for her.

Don't ever be against them. Don't ever see them as enemies. Don't, don't, don't, don't.

Pray, pray, pray and beg the Lord to touch everyone's heart.
