• 0:24
  Speaker 1: right into it this morning. Pray and meditate. Those are
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the two things, basic but powerful, basic but purposeful, basic
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: but precise ways of how to live as a believer. Man.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Pray to God, meditate on his word. Right, those two
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: right there is the one two punch and then knocks
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the enemy out all the time, knocks them out of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: your situation, knocks them out of your life, knocks them
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: out of your mindset, knocks them out of the way
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of thinking, your way of speech. Amen, pray and meditate
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on God's word. So instead of letting negative thoughts build up,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: those thoughts will build up, build up on those thoughts,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: then build up in those thoughts. Take it all to God.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Take it all to God straight up, like, don't even
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: waste time. Take all those negative thoughts, the worry, the anxiety,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: all of it. Take it to God. He can handle it. Amen.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You're not putting him out of his way. You're not
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You're not an inconvenience to him. He's not too busy
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to listen, he's not too busy to respond. Take it
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: all to him. So today, pray and meditate on God's
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: word today on the morning Devo. We're gonna be in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: two scriptures. First Peter chapter five to seven, very popular
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: scripture if you're a believer. Amen. And Psalms one n
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: eighteen one on five another popular scripture. Amen. But if
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you don't know these scriptures, is all right. I'm saying
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it's popular because I've heard it preached a lot, I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: heard it taught a lot, I read it a lot. Amen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So maybe it might not be too popular for you,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But maybe we can make it popular today. Maybe we
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: could make this a holy habit that you pray and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: meditate on God's word daily. Amen. Is nothing that's gonna
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: take a lot of your time. It's just gonna take time, right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You got to be purposeful, You have to plan it out,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just have to do it. Sometimes. Sometimes all you have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to do is show up. How many times you heard
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: me say that? Sometimes all you got to do is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: show up. Amen. You don't have to do X Y
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Z all the time and be prepared. And I'm not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: gonna go. How many people have you heard say I'm
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: not gonna go to church because I don't want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: be a hypocrite. I'm gonna be I want to go
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to church when I'm ready. Listen. I don't know what
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: ready means, but today's the day of salvation. So instead
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of trying to be ready, stay ready, Amen, just go
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: go connect yourself with the community of God's people that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: are filled with his spirit. Not feel with religion, not
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: feel with rules and regulation, not legalistic, but love people,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: right of people. I'm a God first and foremost trust Jesus,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and I'll fill with the spirit. Find those people. You
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: will find them, Amen. You will know them by their fruit.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: You will see them, you will find them. So let's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: go for it, man, Let's pray first. After we pray, well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: shad us out for like sixty seconds. I'm real tempted
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to play with a new tool that's popped up on
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: my screen after I did an update last night. I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: gonna leave it alone. I won't mess with it because
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: if I mess up the camera shot or something with
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the mic. Then it's on me, right, So let's go
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's pray after we praise. Sixty seconds. Will
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: share this out. But if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 3:38

• 10:08
  Speaker 1: for your prayers and your support. So let's go for it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I want to share this on the screen and pray
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and meditate. This is this is how we take action, Amen,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: as believers in the Lord right, pray and we meditate.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: People think meditate is like an Eastern type of thing.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: It's not. I'm going to show you in the scripture
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: why we are to meditate on the word word daily.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Not something that you say, all right, I did that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: We do it once a week or when you have
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: your spare time whatever that means, because I don't know
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: what spare time is. Anymore. But just do it. Pray
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and meditate on God's word. Bring everything to the Lord. Amen.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: He cares for you. So let's get to the first
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: scripture here, and I think this is okay. There you go,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: pray and meditate anim warning, Devo Bob says our first
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: scripture one Peter, chapter five, verse number seven. Casting all
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: your cares, all your anxieties, all your worries, and all
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: your concerns once and for all on him, right, cast
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it all on him. Cast it on on God. He's
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: strong man, he could take it, he could handle it
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a man. We're not inconveniencing the Lord. He's not too busy.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Don't listen to the enemy and say all you need.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. Look what you just did. You
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: can't pray to God. God's not gonna hear you. You're
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: not worth it it. Don't listen to those voices. Listen
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to the voice of Holy Spirit. God. He wants you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to cast all your worries and all your concerns on him. Why,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: why how will we do that? It's simple but powerful,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: because He cares about you with deepest affection and watches
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: over you very carefully. I don't think anybody watches over
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: us more than God, better than God, and it's concerned
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: with more about the details, more than God himself. You
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: might be saying, Ah, there's no way, there's no way
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that he's gonna watch over me. He's too busy, he's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: do this, he's through that, he can't possibly watch me. Know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: he's watching very carefully. He's affectionate, he's compassionate. He's a loving, holy,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: righteous God. He loves you, he loves me. He casts
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all his We could cast all our cares on him
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: because he does love us. Amen. So I mean there's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a lot more to say, but this is a morning
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: devotion and I just need you to read that scripture,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: believe that scripture, that scripture, and realize that we are
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: able to cast our cares all of it, bring it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: all to God. Amen. He knows how to handle the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: situations of life. He knows you better than you know yourself.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: He knows me better than I know myself. And here's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the second scripture I want to put together with On
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the first Psalms, chapter one, nineteen, verse one oh five,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Bible says, your word, God's word is a lamp to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: my feet and a light to my path. Wow, So
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a lamp to your feet means listen, you start seeing
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: where you're going, You start knowing where you're going. The
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: steps of the righteous are ordered, and a light to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: my path. How many times have you been going down
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the path right of life and you can't see or
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you can see just a little bit. But when God
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: turns on that light to light up your path, now
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you can see further. Now, you can see clear. Now
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you can move without getting hurt as much as you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: would if you were just walking in darkness. His word
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is a lamp to your feet and a light to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: your path. You won't know none of this right if
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you don't take time and pray to God, meditate on
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: his word so you could see him move in real
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: time in your life and everything that you're going through.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Pray and meditate. Family, I'm telling you, it's powerful. It's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like a basic thing that we probably overlook as believers.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But I said, yeah, I did that already. I prayed already.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Or you might be hearing people saying all we can
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: do is pray, and they say it with the voices
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: like you know, that's the only hope we have. No,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: we should be praying daily, Hey, man, a hope is
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: in God. We're praying to a living God. We're not
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: praying to a God who doesn't respond, but not praying
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to a God who doesn't listen. We're not praying to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a God who is shocked our prayer requests. Listen, it's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: time for us to pray about things, and it's time
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: for us to lay hands and annoy ourselves with oil. Amen,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and pray the things out that you know that needs
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to be out of your life, and pray the things
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: into your life that you know to be you know
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that's supposed to be in your life. And men call
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it out. People may think I'm a little radical with prayer,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: my prayer life, and man, you ask me for a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: prayer request depending on what it is, and man, we're
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: gonna get radical. We're gonna pray, and we're gonna we're
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: gonna annoint ourselves and man with oil, and we're gonna
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: touch and agreed, literally touch and agree on the things
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that God wants for your life. Listen, pray and cast
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: your cares on God. You know, this is not a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: new age way of thinking. This is not religious. This
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: is actually how we as believers are supposed to be
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: moving anyway. So let's get used to it. Let's make
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: this a holy habit. Instead of letting frustration, instead of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: letting life, stead of letting negative thoughts build up, take
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it to God, all of it. Take it all to God.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: In prayer. Be honest, right, be honest about how you feel.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Be honest about how you feel, and ask God for
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: peace and ask God for guidance. It's okay, might be saying, God,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to tell you this, but I've
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: been going the wrong way for a little bit. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: can't stop x y z. I keep on thinking about
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: x y Z. Help me, guide me, give me wisdom,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: give me an understanding. Listen, that's between you and the Lord.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not telling you to get up at your
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: job and say, everybody, I gotta pray, so listen to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: my prayer. Say that way. Everybody now knows your business.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And when you speak in your prayer out loud, be mindful.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, God, God could deep like encode your prayer
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: so that way. The enemy one here. But a lot
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of times that enemy does hear what you're requesting. Amen.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: But it's okay. God is more powerful than the enemy.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: The enemy is already defeated. As a matter of fact,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this is not God versus the devil. Right, So when
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you pray out loud, get ready, the enemy is going
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to hear it. Lest God chooses to mute the prayer
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: from the enemy's ears, that's a different thing. But if
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you pray outloud, get ready for the prayer to be answered,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and God hears your prayers. But you could also pray
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: from your heart, right. You don't have to open your
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: mouth all the time. You can pray a lot of
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: times when I do what I do outside in the field, right,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I'm praying while I'm speaking to somebody or speaking to people,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: or if I see someone get into my vehicle when
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I'm doing the ride share, when I'm doing lyft and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: they don't seem like the spirit seems to be off,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to pray, and I'm starting to create a scenario,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and I seend God to protect God and guard both
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: of us, the passenger and myself. Amen. Most of the time,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I'm praying myself happy, praying myself protected, praying myself ready, right,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm praying myself aware and alert. So pray go
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: ahead and pray Amen. Yes, He hears us. When we pray,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and He answers our prayers. Trust and believe when you pray.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Sister Joyce. Absolutely, And Sister Joyce knows he's
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a prayer warrior, so she knows what she's talking about. Amen.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So pray and cast your cares on him. Be honest
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: with your prayers. God knows it all anyway. I think
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: God really just wants us to admit some things, be
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: honest about some things, and go to Him about all things. Amen,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: so we could see his power, We could see his
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: move in our lives. I don't think people are looking
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: for preachers no more. They're not looking for I mean,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I guess a lot of people are looking for, you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: preachers that know how to dramatize, emphasize and super spiritualized.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I guess people are still actually I know people are
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: still after that. But a lot of people are looking
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: for the power of God. They're tired of preaching. They
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: want to see the demonstration of God. And when you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: pray and castle your caresel him, you will see the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: demonstration of God's power, his glory, his love, his grace,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: his mercy. Who wouldn't want that? Who wouldn't want the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: demonstration of God, So go for it, and of course,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: meditate on God's word. Meditate on God's word. Reading the word.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Meditating on his word helps shift your focus from your
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: problems to God's promises. Got a lot of problems, Well,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: God got a lot of promises. As a matter of fact,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: God has more promises than we have problems. Shift your
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: focus from whatever problems you're facing and shift your focus
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to God's promises. God's promises are going to overcome your problems.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I could guarantee you that He has more, way, more way,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: more promises than we have problems in his life. He's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: an eternal God. As a matter of fact, he saw
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: my problem before it happened. He saw your problem before
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: it happened. But we could see his promises over those problems. Amen,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: meditate on his word. Go to God, read a scripture,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: read his word, which is a living word. Shift your
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: focus from your problems to his promises. Like imagine, like versus,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Like what we just read. Versus like Philippians chapter four,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: six and seven, remind us to trust God in every
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: situation everything. Pray, be anxious about nothing, don't worry about anything.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I know the worry part. We say it, but you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: know we worry here and there, but be careful we're
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: worrying because if we live and worry, we're actually telling
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: God in actuality. In that sense, we're telling God you're
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not enough, You're not worth worth trusting in. So be
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: careful with the worry part. The worry is a cousin
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to frustration. The worry is a cousin to anger. The
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: worries a cousin to lack. Worries a cousin to doubts. Amen.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: So we're told in the Philippians right in the Book
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of Philippians are things chopping them before right six and seven,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to not worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and supplication, make your request known to God, and God
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Amen will take care of it. I hope I'm quoting
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that right. Amen. I'm gonna go over school and see
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: if I can find that real quick. But you know
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Amen, I believe. That's I believe because
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's one of my one of those scriptures that I've
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I said so many times. So I'm trying to now
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: now you see how doubt comes into my minds. Tell
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: me if I'm right, Amen, with that scripture right there,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Philippians for six and seven. I believe I was right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: That's the scripture I'm talking about. But we need to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: know God's work. We need to meditate in God's words.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Steady God's word. I'm not gonna find it right now
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: because it's a small book. Steady God's work. Focus on
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: God's work. The power of God is in his word.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: The promises of God are in his word. The purposes
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of God are in his word. Amen. The will of
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: God is his word. Jesus is the living word. Holy
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Spirit reminds us of the Word, and we could just
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: walk in it. He's a lamp, a light. Right. We
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: could cast all our anxieties, all our worries, all our issues,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: cast it all to the Lord. Amen. And the reason
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: why we do that is beautiful. I like what the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Word says, because He cares for us. Amen. We would
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: never share anything with somebody that. You should never share
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: anything with someone who doesn't care about you anyway, Like
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: don't even waste your time, you waste your breath, Amen,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: because then then we look at you like, okay, whatever,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: they won't care. Amen. But when you speak to God
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and you cast all your cares on him, Yes, for
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you and you know it. Amen, you will know it,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and you will believe it. You will trust Him more
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and more every time He shows up in your situation,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: in your life Philippians four six and seven. Be anxious
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: for nothing, but in everything by prayer. You see that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and petition with thanksgiving, or already know that whatever you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: pray for according to God's will, If your prayer is
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: aligned with the will of God over your life, you
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: give them thanks, present your requests to God. And over
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: here it requests is plural. He knows we're here to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: be coming back because we have a lot of things
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: going on in our lives. I don't know about you,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: but I got a lot of things going on my life.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but this world that we're
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: living in is broken, and there's a lot going on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that's not right. On righteousness, on holiness, godlessness, you name it,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: or we're facing it in real time. But we have
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a God who saves, a God who rescues, a God
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: who protects, a God who gods, a God who is
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a word and the word, who is a lamp and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a light. We got a God that we can trust
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: with everything, our words, anxieties, our pains, our struggles sister
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: joining lost family members, she could trust in the God
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: who cares for her. You know what I mean. Like
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: we have a real, living, holy, amazing Father in Heaven
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: that we have access to by way of the Lord
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And we have the holiness of God. We
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: have the righteousness of God. We have the divine nature,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: with partakers of the divine nature of God living in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a us holy spirit. We ran out of excuses, ladies

  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, as believers to keep on moving like the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: world moves. We shouldn't be doing that. We have no

  Speaker 1: reason to move like the world moves. The world's with
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: our hope. They mourn with our hope. Want we mourn
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: when we lose the loved one. We have a hope.
