We need the Holy Spirit in our lives. If you are a follower of Jesus, if you've accepted it into your life, you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you as a seal, as your guarantee of eternal life. But what also the Holy Spirit does is he guides us and helps us and reminds us to to stay away from things like that. I guarantee you, if you're about to do something that you know is wrong, if you're being tempted to do something that you know is wrong, the holy spirit will be whispering, will be shouting, don't do it. That is then your choice. But we need the Holy Spirit to help guide us. [00:27:04] (47 seconds)  #HolySpiritGuides Download clip

He's saying here that we ask God to give us our daily bread. And this is talking about reliance. We live in a world where society says, you gotta look after yourself. We're encouraged to to look out for number one first. We are told to rely on our own skills, on our own abilities. But here, Jesus wants us to acknowledge that actually everything that we have comes from God. [00:04:12] (32 seconds)  #TrustGodsProvision Download clip

There are so many facts that prove in my mind that there must be a creator of this planet. One degree more of its access either way, this planet would be uninhabitable. A little bit closer to the sun, it would be scorched. A little bit further away, it would be frozen. A little bit more of a a a wrong mixture of of of the air that we breathe and we wouldn't have a breathable air. If you could seriously sit there and say that we all of this came from a big explosion and that we all came out of the same cells. I've I've got to say the odds of that are remarkable. There is a creator, a sustainer of this universe and of this planet. [00:07:51] (51 seconds)  #FineTunedCreation Download clip

You know, it says, they give us our daily bread. What it doesn't say is give us our Ferrari or give us our our holidays abroad. It's our daily means. There's a difference between needs and wants. And just bear that in mind because you may say, well, God isn't providing everything that I want. Well, he may not. [00:06:05] (20 seconds)  #NeedsNotWants Download clip

The world contains enough food, enough water, enough minerals, enough resources for everybody on this planet to live happily and to live a content life. It is a fact. There is enough of everything. It is mankind, humankind that has come in and messed up things and has led to this this situation where people some people are living horrible conditions of famine.

Just because you are tempted to do something doesn't mean you have committed a sin. It is the act of doing it that is the sin. And so at that moment of temptation, we need to flee. We need to run away before we sin. So how do we do that? Well, that's where we come to that that guidance path. [00:26:46] (18 seconds)  #FleeTemptation Download clip

God forgave us. He forgave me and he knows that I'm still gonna mess up. I shouldn't look to mess up. I shouldn't look to up. I shouldn't to rejoice in the fact that I that I make that I sin. But God said, hey, the consequence of that, the punishment for that has been taken by Jesus and that's enough. Now, it should break my heart when I sin, and I should confess, and I need to ask for repent for forgiveness again. Just lay it at the foot of the cross. But it is done. My punishment has been accepted by Jesus, been taken by Jesus. [00:21:57] (46 seconds)  #ForgivenThroughChrist Download clip

That is what unforgiveness is. You are saying actually that the the consequence, the first consequence of what they've done isn't enough. And I wanna punish them some more, and I wanna punish them some more, and I'm gonna punish them some more. And I'm gonna keep on doing that because I can't let it go. I can't say, okay, the punishment they have had is enough. But think back, if God did that to us, we would be cooked. We would be in big trouble.
