1:06
Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. This is a place where we
1:08
Speaker 1: get together twenty to twenty five minutes, get into the
1:10
Speaker 1: Word of God. See what holy spirit, God leads us
1:14
Speaker 1: into Amen, and we take it from there. If you
1:17
Speaker 1: have any questions, comments, concerns, or prayer requests along the way, Amen,
1:20

1:23
Speaker 1: what we're here for today and just checking the vinument,
1:26
Speaker 1: just make sure everything's good. And also today, as a
1:32
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we're talking about training to live Golly.
1:37
Speaker 1: Do you know? Did you know? And this was an
1:40
Speaker 1: eye opener for me. When I saw the scripture on
1:43
Speaker 1: the screen at church, I was like, wait, we're training
1:48
Speaker 1: to live Golly, this is a training and I could
1:52
Speaker 1: back it up tight. This chapter two verses eleven or fifteen,
1:56
Speaker 1: that's where we're gonna be. Training to renounce evil is
2:01
Speaker 1: at the core of Christian discipleship. I'm always learning something new.
2:06
Speaker 1: You probably knew that already, Amen, but I literally overlooked that. Man,
2:12
Speaker 1: I'm learning rejecting evil is not just a one time decision,
2:18
Speaker 1: but a daily discipline, a training of the heart, mind,
2:22
Speaker 1: and body to say yes to God and know to sin.
2:28
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I got this in the bag.
2:30
Speaker 1: It's all good. I don't you know what I'm saying.
2:31
Speaker 1: I'm a born again believer, but I'm in training. You're
2:34
Speaker 1: in training too, Amen, And I realized I was saying
2:39
Speaker 1: some things a little bit off lately about when it
2:44
Speaker 1: comes to my salvation and things like that. Brother Orlando,
2:46
Speaker 1: I see you, God bless you. Good morning, God bless you.
2:48
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning. Deve up, my bro, my friend,
2:50
Speaker 1: miss you. Bro. I have to realize the finished work
2:56
Speaker 1: of Jesus. Like I'm born again, I'm saved. I'm no
3:00
Speaker 1: longer sinner. I'm a sanctify a saint, you know, a
3:05
Speaker 1: royal priesthood. That's because of the finished work of Jesus.
3:09
Speaker 1: But the applied work of the Lord Amen is our
3:13
Speaker 1: training to renounce evil. The applied work of Jesus is
3:18
Speaker 1: that we're being saved. We're already saved because of the
3:21
Speaker 1: finished work of Jesus. But the applied work of Jesus
3:25
Speaker 1: means that we need to be daily finding this war
3:28
Speaker 1: against our own evil, sinful desires. Training to live Golly
3:33
Speaker 1: Today in the morning, Devo, we go pray. First, after
3:35
Speaker 1: we pray with shaddasaut for like sixty seconds, and then
3:39
Speaker 1: on the other side of the sixty seconds, we'll get
3:41
Speaker 1: right into today's morning Devo. Training to live Golly go ahead.
3:46
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and be the soldiers of the Cross. Amen.
3:50
Speaker 1: As men of God, you already know. We're fathers, brothers, husbands, right,
3:58
Speaker 1: men of God, brothers and the Lord. We have a
4:00
Speaker 1: lot of responsibility. But I'm not gonna get overwhelmed. And
4:04
Speaker 1: I hope brother, you're not gonna get overwhelmed either. And
4:07
Speaker 1: for the Woman of God, Amen, listen, there's power and submission.
4:12
Speaker 1: There's power in your life as a nurturer. If we
4:19
Speaker 1: stay in our roles the way God designed it, victory
4:23
Speaker 1: is at hand. We're unstoppable. We're unstoppable Church. We're unstoppable
4:28
Speaker 1: as a body of Christ among the people in this world. Amen.
4:33
Speaker 1: But we come in peace, wecome in love, wecome with grace,
4:36
Speaker 1: wecome with mercy, and we come with salvation, and we
4:39
Speaker 1: come with the Gospel. So let's pray. Father, I thank
4:42
Speaker 1: you for your word, your gospel. Thank you for the
4:44
Speaker 1: training camp that we're in. Thank you for leading us
4:48
Speaker 1: not into tentpation but to deliver us from the evil one.
4:52
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God, that we are in this together,
4:54
Speaker 1: that you are forever faithful to your word and to us.
4:58
Speaker 1: I pray, Holy Spirit, that you would continue to elevate
5:02
Speaker 1: our way of thinking, that we would continue to learn
5:04
Speaker 1: and become more and more in the image of the
5:07
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ, and that we would unite the body
5:10
Speaker 1: all throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond. And that Lord God,
5:14
Speaker 1: that you would keep the ministry of reconciliation strong among
5:19
Speaker 1: one another. As believers in the Lord. I pray Lord God,
5:22
Speaker 1: the power of peace forward. I pray Lord God, arqueen
5:25
Speaker 1: angels and ministering angels to be dispatched right now to
5:29
Speaker 1: every location, to every individual family, to every individual situation
5:34
Speaker 1: that's going on right now in people's lives, that these
5:37
Speaker 1: arqueen angels, these minister angels will annihilate the tactics and
5:41
Speaker 1: plans of the enemy over their life and over my life.
5:44
Speaker 1: Prayer had protection daily over myself, my wife, our children,
5:48
Speaker 1: our grandchildren, our families from both sides, from the very
5:52
Speaker 1: youngest to the very oldest, and every single person in between.
5:55
Speaker 1: Protect every single person on the other side of the
5:57
Speaker 1: screen and on the other side of this mind their
6:00
Speaker 1: families as well. As we head into this new school year,
6:03
Speaker 1: Father God, I pray peace. I pray the Goddess of
6:06
Speaker 1: the Lord. I pray Lord God, the light of Christ
6:09
Speaker 1: that will shine through our children, and they will speak
6:12
Speaker 1: words of wisdom, and they will come against any ungodly activity,
6:18
Speaker 1: and that they will make decisions based on not what
6:20
Speaker 1: they feel, but based on their faith and the powerful
6:23
Speaker 1: name of Jesus. I prayed it's by faith, and all
6:25
Speaker 1: those who agree we say amen to the Amen. Sister Joanne,
6:29
Speaker 1: I see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back
6:31
Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. Today we're going to be doing
6:34
Speaker 1: some training on godliness, how to live Golly, this is
6:38
Speaker 1: the training ground. Help me share this out sixty seconds.
6:41
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll get right into today's Morning Devo.
6:43
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Hey, man and man, we're back.
8:10
Speaker 1: Let's go for it. We got a lot of ground
8:12
Speaker 1: to cover. We're in training. Amen. School is back. School
8:16
Speaker 1: is coming back for some people in the nation next
8:19
Speaker 1: week as well. Well. Listen, we're back. Pray over your children,
8:22
Speaker 1: Pray over your grandchildren, Pray over your family. The first
8:27
Speaker 1: week in some parts of the country, the first day
8:29
Speaker 1: there was violent stabbing shootings in the schools. Why I
8:34
Speaker 1: don't know, but I do know this that if we
8:37
Speaker 1: continue to pray for one another, continue to pray and
8:39
Speaker 1: lift up the word of God over our children and
8:42
Speaker 1: over the lives of everybody in the schools. It will
8:44
Speaker 1: be a safer place. As a matter of fact, we're
8:47
Speaker 1: training to live gollly. So in our gollly training, Amen,
8:50
Speaker 1: we're training our children. We're training our family members to
8:54
Speaker 1: live as well, the same way, to live according to
8:58
Speaker 1: the word of God, not to accord into the feelings
9:01
Speaker 1: that we have and into this world system and man.
9:03
Speaker 1: Even as close as yesterday, we was in a park
9:06
Speaker 1: playing softball with the men of God hanging out, and
9:10
Speaker 1: our children were in the park, and then a group
9:12
Speaker 1: of children got out of our sight, right, and they
9:16
Speaker 1: went to another part of the park. Right, This was
9:19
Speaker 1: just yesterday from the time it was recording, and a
9:22
Speaker 1: teenage kid approached our young kids and threatened them with
9:28
Speaker 1: a knife, right, and children started coming back and telling
9:34
Speaker 1: us what's happening went over there. The kid was gone,
9:37
Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus, because they would have been a bad
9:39
Speaker 1: day for that kid. I'll be honest, But in a park,
9:44
Speaker 1: it's not like when I was young used to go
9:47
Speaker 1: to the park hang out. There was like very little.
9:51
Speaker 1: It was threats, but very little like there are now
9:54
Speaker 1: and that kid. We mentioned that kid in prayer, I did.
9:58
Speaker 1: I said that kid probably as a bad home home life,
10:03
Speaker 1: absent father, probably, maybe struggling mom, maybe no parents. Maybe
10:08
Speaker 1: this kid is struggling with addiction. Maybe this kid is
10:11
Speaker 1: struggling with identity issues. Maybe this kid is in fear.
10:14
Speaker 1: Maybe this kid is part of a gang and they're
10:17
Speaker 1: trying to initiate them. Don't know, But what we do
10:21
Speaker 1: know is that our kids came back safe. Won't glory
10:24
Speaker 1: to God, right? I believe it's because we're praying for protection.
10:28
Speaker 1: If you have another reason why these things happen, Amen,
10:33
Speaker 1: you can let me know. We'll talk about it. But
10:35
Speaker 1: I believe when we set forth arquen angels, Amen, to
10:39
Speaker 1: protect our families and our children. I believe the Lord
10:42
Speaker 1: holdes that, and honor is our prayer requests. Amen. Why
10:46
Speaker 1: do bad things happen to other children and the school
10:49
Speaker 1: systems and all that? I don't know, but I do
10:51
Speaker 1: know that we need to stick together and keep on
10:53
Speaker 1: praying and keep on training to live godly. No other
10:58
Speaker 1: really explanation. I know a man's reporting to us, Amen,
11:02
Speaker 1: So let's get into it before I start preaching and
11:05
Speaker 1: start bringing all my opinions in this right, Let's go
11:09
Speaker 1: for it. Training to live golly, Training to live golly,
11:15
Speaker 1: Titus Chapter two. Get ready. This is Versus eleven to fifteen.
11:21
Speaker 1: And if you've never seen this before, amen, join the team.
11:24
Speaker 1: I never saw it like this before. Amen. I'm learning,
11:27
Speaker 1: like I said, just like everybody else. We're all growing
11:30
Speaker 1: in the knowledge of the Lord. Titus too, eleven to fifteen.
11:33
Speaker 1: The Bible says, this is the amplified version for the remarkable,
11:39
Speaker 1: undeserved grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to
11:45
Speaker 1: all men. Salvation has appeared, Grace has appeared right in
11:52
Speaker 1: the man Jesus Christ. It teaches us to reject what
11:58
Speaker 1: ungodingness and worldly immoral desires teaches us. Trains us to
12:05
Speaker 1: reject ungodliness, to renounce evil and worldly immoral desires, and
12:11
Speaker 1: to live sensible, upright and godly lies with the purpose
12:17
Speaker 1: that reflects spiritual maturity. We're growing together in this present age,
12:23
Speaker 1: awaiting and confidently expecting the fulfillment of our blessed hope
12:30
Speaker 1: and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior
12:36
Speaker 1: Christ Jesus. Make no mistake, Jesus is God, and He's
12:40
Speaker 1: our savior, who willingly nobody forced Jesus to do what
12:46
Speaker 1: he did, who willingly gave himself to be crucified on
12:52
Speaker 1: our behalf, to redeem us and purchase our freedom from
12:58
Speaker 1: all wickedness, and to purify for himself a chosen and
13:06
Speaker 1: very special people to be his own possession, who are
13:11
Speaker 1: enthusiastic for doing what is good. We're supposed to be
13:16
Speaker 1: those people that are all about doing good in the community.
13:19
Speaker 1: We're supposed to be those people who are all about
13:22
Speaker 1: living a life of righteousness. We're supposed to be those
13:25
Speaker 1: people who are feeding the homeless, clothing the homeless, taking
13:29
Speaker 1: care of the widow. Amen. We're supposed to be those
13:32
Speaker 1: people to be his own possession, enthusiastic for doing what
13:36
Speaker 1: is good. And here goes the verses that you could
13:40
Speaker 1: check out for yourself Deuteronomy fourteen and two, Psalm one
13:44
Speaker 1: thirty verse eight, Ezekiel thirty seven and twenty three. The
13:48
Speaker 1: Bible says, tell them these things, encourage and rebuke with
13:54
Speaker 1: full authority. Let no one disregard or de spies. You
14:01
Speaker 1: conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect.
14:08
Speaker 1: In other words, we're training to be godly. Why because
14:12
Speaker 1: of the grace of God that already has appeared to
14:16
Speaker 1: all men. Have you ever noticed that we're still under
14:21
Speaker 1: the grace of God? Sometimes I wake up and say,
14:24
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, thank you, Lord, Amen, thank you Lord. And
14:28
Speaker 1: I don't know why I just did that, put the
14:32
Speaker 1: slight screen on the screen for whatever reason. Thank you
14:36
Speaker 1: Father for your grace, right undeserved grace over our lives. Yeah,
14:47
Speaker 1: every day for me is not a righteous day. My
14:51
Speaker 1: thought life sometimes is ratchet. What about you? My feelings
14:55
Speaker 1: sometimes overcome my faith on any giving moment. What about you?
15:01
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm like, God, what's going on? Where are these
15:05
Speaker 1: thoughts coming from? Why am I thinking this way? Or
15:08
Speaker 1: how about this? How come the prayer hasn't been answered yet?
15:12
Speaker 1: You promised Lord fifteen twenty years ago for this, that
15:16
Speaker 1: and the third ever been there. But God's mercy, God's grace,
15:21
Speaker 1: God's power, God's love, God's salvation, and his grace has
15:25
Speaker 1: already appeared to all men. And because He has already
15:29
Speaker 1: appeared a man to all men, we're running low on
15:32
Speaker 1: excuses of why we're not following the Lord and going
15:37
Speaker 1: through the training to live a golly life. My brother
15:40
Speaker 1: JC sanctified what's up, Bro, God bless you. Welcome to
15:43
Speaker 1: the Morning DeVos. Good to see you, my brother and
15:45
Speaker 1: my friend. So we're in this together. Haven't you noticed
15:49
Speaker 1: that together is so much better than just by being
15:53
Speaker 1: you know, rogue Christians, rogue believers. Amen. Together we're better.
15:59
Speaker 1: So we're going to go through some training steps. Amen.
16:03
Speaker 1: This is actually a deep Bible study. But since we're
16:06
Speaker 1: in a Morning Devo. Amen, we got less than twelve
16:10
Speaker 1: minutes left, I'm going to just go through this and
16:13
Speaker 1: then maybe one day we'll turn this into a series. Amen.
16:18
Speaker 1: Number one and the training to live godly lives is
16:24
Speaker 1: to recognize that there is evil. You know, I met people,
16:28
Speaker 1: tons of people that tell me that evil. There is
16:32
Speaker 1: no evil. Amen. People have told me, listen, something evil
16:37
Speaker 1: to you doesn't mean that it's evil. Depends on the culture.
16:41
Speaker 1: You ever heard this. You probably heard this argument, the culture,
16:45
Speaker 1: the generation, the environment, you know. And I always say, really,
16:50
Speaker 1: there's no evil. If somebody ran up into a school
16:53
Speaker 1: and killed children, that's not evil, and they literally looking
16:57
Speaker 1: right into my eyes, they say, no, that's not necessarily evil.
17:00
Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, this is nothing going on here, because
17:03
Speaker 1: that's evil. But first of all, we have to recognize evil.
17:08
Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter five, verse twenty, woe to those who call
17:13
Speaker 1: evil good and good evil. There are people like that.
17:18
Speaker 1: I've met them, and they don't know the difference between
17:20
Speaker 1: good or evil. They don't know the difference between truth
17:24
Speaker 1: and lies. They don't know the difference between light and dark.
17:26
Speaker 1: They don't know between the difference between life and death
17:30
Speaker 1: and man. So if you don't think that we're training
17:34
Speaker 1: to live godly lives, then I don't know. I don't
17:38
Speaker 1: know what you're I don't know what you're doing and man,
17:41
Speaker 1: especially if you call yourself a Christian. I just literally
17:45
Speaker 1: that scripture just popped up in my mind. I saw
17:47
Speaker 1: it on the screen that church yesterday. I was like,
17:49
Speaker 1: what we're training to renounce evil? And it's entitest chapter two.
17:54
Speaker 1: Read the whole chapter for yourself. Check it out. Train
17:57
Speaker 1: yourself God's word to discern, to recognize, to realize what
18:06
Speaker 1: is evil versus what is holy? Right and passing yesterday
18:12
Speaker 1: at church said there's a difference between common and holy.
18:17
Speaker 1: The problem is a lot of Christians are in the common.
18:21
Speaker 1: Common is not necessarily evil. Common is just like, you know, well,
18:26
Speaker 1: this is what we do. We're going through we're going
18:29
Speaker 1: through the structure, the format of church. So we go
18:34
Speaker 1: go to church, we know to say, we know what
18:36
Speaker 1: to do, we know how to scream, how louja, and
18:37
Speaker 1: all that stuff that's common. Right, But then it's another
18:41
Speaker 1: step called holiness. Holiness is what happens inside and outside
18:46
Speaker 1: of the building. And then we're set apart for God's work.
18:51
Speaker 1: So train yourself through God's word, not through my word,
18:55
Speaker 1: not through my opinion, not through your word and your opinion.
18:58
Speaker 1: Through God's word. We're training pray for the holy spirits
19:02
Speaker 1: conviction because if you're not convicted of evil, if you're
19:05
Speaker 1: not convicted of sin, no more, you might want to
19:08
Speaker 1: check to see if it's still in the faith. John
19:10
Speaker 1: chapter sixteen and verse eight. So number one, recognize that
19:14
Speaker 1: there's evil out there. And those people who are saying
19:16
Speaker 1: there's no evil, well they're blind. It's obvious that there's
19:21
Speaker 1: evil happening in this world. And external evil shouldn't be
19:26
Speaker 1: an excuse for internal sin, right, that shouldn't be all men.
19:31
Speaker 1: It's evil in this world, So I might as well
19:32
Speaker 1: go ahead and act crazy myself. No, there's no excuse
19:37
Speaker 1: as a believer in Christ. Just like this, No condination
19:40
Speaker 1: for those who are in Christ Jesus. There should be
19:42
Speaker 1: no excuse for us not to be holy, because God
19:45
Speaker 1: is holy and he says that we're holy. God is righteous,
19:48
Speaker 1: and he says that we're righteous. So number two, recognize
19:52
Speaker 1: evil verbally, recognize it verbally. Speak with your mouth, like
19:58
Speaker 1: we make declarations as believers, and those declarations are powerful.
20:01
Speaker 1: Declare with your mouth. Speak with your mouth that you
20:05
Speaker 1: reject the devil's lies. Speak with your mouth that you
20:08
Speaker 1: reject sinfle practices. The flesh is weak. The spirit of
20:14
Speaker 1: God is always willing to do God's work. The flesh
20:18
Speaker 1: is like, nah, I don't want to do that. I
20:19
Speaker 1: want to do what tastes good, feels good, smellles good.
20:23
Speaker 1: I want to do things according to the flesh, because
20:27
Speaker 1: the flesh always wants his own ways. Apostle Paul was saying, man,
20:31
Speaker 1: I want to do right, but it's like something else
20:34
Speaker 1: is living inside of me. Well, that's the flesh, and
20:37
Speaker 1: we're all struggling and with all that war with the flesh.
20:40
Speaker 1: Welcome to the training ground. Here's an example to pray.
20:47
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. I renounce every work
20:50
Speaker 1: of darkness and every lie. Of the enemy. I belong
20:55
Speaker 1: to God alone. Sometimes you got to stand up, declare that,
20:58
Speaker 1: pray that over your life. Because the devil is consistent. Man.
21:03
Speaker 1: He don't stop, he doesn't give up. He keeps on
21:07
Speaker 1: and keeps on, and he sends legions of demons and
21:10
Speaker 1: fallen angels whatever you want to call them. And they're
21:13
Speaker 1: just not good for us, okay man. And then of
21:16
Speaker 1: course social media, media, TV, movies, Hollywood entertainment, singers, rappers,
21:24
Speaker 1: all of it is really not if it's in the world,
21:28
Speaker 1: it's really not for us, right, But what does it do?
21:31
Speaker 1: It pleases the flesh. A different gospel like the prosperity Gospel,
21:35
Speaker 1: all that stuff. They're so popular because they feed the
21:40
Speaker 1: flesh and our evil simple desires. And to give me
21:44
Speaker 1: the gimme the give me, to give me gospel what
21:46
Speaker 1: I call it everything. Oh, God's leave you this, and
21:48
Speaker 1: God's leave you that. And if you sow into this
21:50
Speaker 1: and so now we ain't about that life. We're about
21:53
Speaker 1: the Gospel, the good News of the Lord Jesus Christ.
21:55
Speaker 1: Brother John Crosby, good God bless you, my brother. Good
21:58
Speaker 1: morning to you, my friend of my brothers. Coot to
22:01
Speaker 1: see you in the morning, Devo. We're training, right, We're
22:05
Speaker 1: training to live godly because every day it's training ground.
22:08
Speaker 1: Every day we're out there in the field every day.
22:11
Speaker 1: If you go outside, you're in the battle. Amen. Sometimes
22:15
Speaker 1: you don't got to go too far outside of your
22:18
Speaker 1: church buildings. Sometimes you don't have to go too far
22:20
Speaker 1: outside of your home, your house to know that you're
22:25
Speaker 1: in spiritual warfare and man every day. And don't let
22:30
Speaker 1: this overwhelm you. Don't let this be like man switch
22:32
Speaker 1: your warfare every day. I didn't ask for this. Listen,
22:36
Speaker 1: we were called to this. God knows what he's doing. Amen.
22:39
Speaker 1: And yeah, we're all fearfully and wonderfully made. That fearful
22:43
Speaker 1: part is to let the devil know that we are
22:47
Speaker 1: God's creation. And once we gave our life to the Lord,
22:50
Speaker 1: we're born again. And once we are born again, we
22:53
Speaker 1: have Holy Spirit God living inside of us. And once
22:56
Speaker 1: we have Holy Spirit living inside of us, we are
22:58
Speaker 1: the hope of glory. And we are being led by
23:02
Speaker 1: not the spirit of this world, but we're being led
23:04
Speaker 1: by the Spirit of God. So renounce evil verbally. Go
23:08
Speaker 1: had to speak it out right. In the early Christian Church,
23:12
Speaker 1: baptism right was a way that we publicly renounced the devil,
23:20
Speaker 1: we publicly renounced sin, we publicly renounce darkness, we publicly
23:26
Speaker 1: renounce evil desires. Go ahead and get baptized. As a
23:31
Speaker 1: matter of fact, a young brother in Christ, a man
23:34
Speaker 1: that I have the honor to mentor, told Melissa, are
23:36
Speaker 1: you coming to my baptism Sunday? Like absolutely, low willing,
23:40
Speaker 1: I'll be there. I have to excuse myself from church
23:43
Speaker 1: and go to his church and see him get baptized
23:45
Speaker 1: again because he wants to announce publicly again and let
23:52
Speaker 1: the devil know that he ain't gonna get him. Amen.
23:57
Speaker 1: Training for godliness, like it says and tim Yeah, training
24:01
Speaker 1: for godliness, and Timothya says it right. And also in Titus, Amen,
24:07
Speaker 1: and I never noticed that it said training to renounce evil.
24:12
Speaker 1: I never noticed that yesterday. Amen. So I'm learning. I'm
24:16
Speaker 1: learning since the joys. Good morning, God bless you, Amen,
24:20
Speaker 1: God bless you and your family as well. Hopefully we
24:23
Speaker 1: have a great week in Jesus. Yes, Amen, Amen, Brother
24:27
Speaker 1: to see the truth, Brother one says, good morning, brother
24:31
Speaker 1: Sam and God blessed. And to everyone who's tuned in,
24:34
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the blessing. My bro and
24:36
Speaker 1: my friend renounce evil. So number one, recognize that it
24:41
Speaker 1: is evil. I mean, listen, let's not stay in the common.
24:45
Speaker 1: Let's not be common people. Common is not necessarily evil,
24:49
Speaker 1: but common is just that common. Let's be holy. Amen,
24:52
Speaker 1: don't be afraid. God will give us the holiness. We
24:55
Speaker 1: already have holy spirit living inside of us. I don't
24:59
Speaker 1: know how how many times I have to convince myself
25:02
Speaker 1: for that, or have to try to convince you that
25:04
Speaker 1: hold the spirits inside of you if you're born again.
25:07
Speaker 1: But it's true. That's what the word says, that's what
25:09
Speaker 1: I believe, that's what we believe. Amen, and we move
25:12
Speaker 1: forward accordingly. We make mistakes, absolutely, but God never makes mistakes.
25:16
Speaker 1: And he didn't make a mistake with you. He didn't
25:18
Speaker 1: make a mistake with me when he put us on
25:20
Speaker 1: his planet for such a time as this. Number three,
25:24
Speaker 1: Replace evil with good. I've been saying this for years.
25:27
Speaker 1: Replacement theology. Somebody curses you, you bless them. Somebody steals
25:31
Speaker 1: from you, You give back a man, someone asks of you,
25:34
Speaker 1: You give a man. Replacement theology. I call it Romans
25:39
Speaker 1: twelve twenty one. Do not be overcome by evil, but
25:42
Speaker 1: overcome evil with good. Training ourselves to renounce evil and
25:48
Speaker 1: replace evil thoughts, replace evil desires, replace evil intent with good.
25:54
Speaker 1: We're good and we're good. What God gives is all good.
25:58
Speaker 1: What he allows. Get ready. Sometimes it's not gonna be good,
26:02
Speaker 1: doesn't seem good. But whatever God allows in your life
26:05
Speaker 1: and in my life is for the greater good. Might
26:08
Speaker 1: not be for me, might be for the next person
26:10
Speaker 1: in my family, might be for my children, my wife.
26:13
Speaker 1: I might suffer a man for somebody else to see
26:16
Speaker 1: what a suffering servant looks like, because they need to
26:19
Speaker 1: see it. God is perfect, His will is perfect. Don't
26:22
Speaker 1: be afraid to go through life living golly. God bless you, brother, Frank,
26:27
Speaker 1: I see you. Good morning. God bless you to you
26:29
Speaker 1: and your family as well. Thank you for coming to
26:32
Speaker 1: the morning. Devote my bro and my friend. Train yourself
26:36
Speaker 1: to replace evil with good. Listen to this. Replace simple
26:41
Speaker 1: habits with golly practices. Let me give you some examples lust.
26:48
Speaker 1: I have ever had lustible thoughts, right, it's too early
26:52
Speaker 1: to admit that LUs purity and accountability. You could combat
26:57
Speaker 1: lust with purity and ability. And I haven't heard the
27:02
Speaker 1: message on purity in a long time. Hopefully in your church.
27:07
Speaker 1: You've heard that message recently. I just want the young adults,
27:12
Speaker 1: teenagers and kids to hear messages on purity, and if
27:17
Speaker 1: I have to do it, praise the Lord. Amen. You
27:20
Speaker 1: know are good preachers that are preaching to the young
27:23
Speaker 1: generation about purity. Send a link over to me. I
27:27
Speaker 1: want to know. I want to see it. I want
27:28
Speaker 1: to share it. About this. Greed, replace greed me me
27:34
Speaker 1: me like an opera singer. I want this, I need that,
27:37
Speaker 1: It's all mine. Replace that with generosity. Amen. That's a
27:42
Speaker 1: preacher's dream to have a generous people. Pastors dream to
27:46
Speaker 1: have a generous church. Right. I believe that was designed
27:49
Speaker 1: by God for us to be generous because He gave
27:52
Speaker 1: everything for us. Amen. And he didn't ask nothing in
27:56
Speaker 1: return to set for us to follow and believe in him. Amen.
28:00
Speaker 1: And we get more goodness, we get more grace. Get
28:04
Speaker 1: Reed could be replaced with generosity. Anger, listen. Anger can
28:10
Speaker 1: be replaced with forgiveness. I haven't been as angry as
28:14
Speaker 1: I used to be. When I'm forgiving more people than
28:17
Speaker 1: I used to. Not forgive. Amen, and gossip, replace that
28:20
Speaker 1: with encouragement. You want to talk about me, don't gossip
28:23
Speaker 1: about me? Encourage me, and I'll do the same for you. Amen.
28:27
Speaker 1: Old Sam is going this way and that way. He
28:29
Speaker 1: did this and that. Pray for me. Then if I'm wrong,
28:32
Speaker 1: pray for me, Amen, and let somebody know that you're
28:35
Speaker 1: praying for me. I'll be praying for you. You pray
28:37
Speaker 1: for me. We're in this together. I have to stop there.
28:40
Speaker 1: I'm running out of time, but it's going to turn
28:42
Speaker 1: into a series. Becau's a lot more juice, a lot
28:44
Speaker 1: more sauce here it. Amen, we're training to live golly
28:48
Speaker 1: and tightest. Chapter two. We're stuck at eleven and fifteen.
28:52
Speaker 1: That's where we started at. And I want you to
28:54
Speaker 1: read the whole chapter for yourself and let me know, Amen,
28:57
Speaker 1: how you feel about it and how God is going
28:59
