Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: One. A good morning, Family of God. Welcome back to
- 0:06Speaker 1: the Morning Devo. Is your brother Sam Lopez akadj Sam
- 0:09Speaker 1: Rock And you're listening or watching to the Morning Devo
- 0:12Speaker 1: watching too, No, you're listening or watching the Morning Devo
- 0:18Speaker 1: not watching too as of early morning with cavalary that
- 0:22Speaker 1: goes on sometimes in my mind. Amen, So God bless me,
- 0:26Speaker 1: welcome back. It's a new start, new day, right, and
- 0:29Speaker 1: we woke up a man. If you're awake, give glory
- 0:32Speaker 1: to God. A man. Thank God. It's somebody or some
- 0:35Speaker 1: people all around the world that when they got up,
- 0:39Speaker 1: they found themselves on the other side of eternity, and
- 0:43Speaker 1: hopefully a man. They found themselves in the presence of
- 0:46Speaker 1: the Lord, not in darkness, utter darkness, a man for
- 0:51Speaker 1: rejecting the Gospel or for denying on who they are
- 0:55Speaker 1: in Christ. There's so many ways that people are distract
- 1:00Speaker 1: right now right, and so many ways that we could
- 1:03Speaker 1: really know that we are born again and saved and
- 1:07Speaker 1: that we could be confident in what we are doing. Amen,
- 1:12Speaker 1: we'll just checking us. See my audio was there? Amen,
- 1:15Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Today we're talking about mental purity.
- 1:20Speaker 1: How many people know there's a mental condition of our
- 1:24Speaker 1: nation and society needs a tremendous dose of the Lord,
- 1:30Speaker 1: a tremendous dose of God's word, a tremendous dose of
- 1:33Speaker 1: God's mercy, a man, a tremendous dose of God's healing
- 1:38Speaker 1: over our mental states. Men supurity is a thing, Amen,
- 1:43Speaker 1: Sexual purity, men supurity. I think they go hand in hand. Amen.
- 1:48Speaker 1: A lot of times people overthink, overthink men supurity, or
- 1:53Speaker 1: they kind of like overlook mental purity. When if we
- 1:57Speaker 1: have mental purity, I was, sexual purity will fall in line. Amen.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I put I heard it like this. I don't know
- 2:05Speaker 1: who penned this, but the mind controls the body. The
- 2:09Speaker 1: body thinks the mind is crazy. I don't know where
- 2:12Speaker 1: I get that from a man. I know it's stuck
- 2:14Speaker 1: in my mind. Amen. I heard it from a rapper
- 2:17Speaker 1: years ago, old school hip hop rapper. But I don't
- 2:21Speaker 1: think he penned it. And if he did, penant Amen,
- 2:23Speaker 1: he's onto something right there, Shari, God blessed. Am I
- 2:27Speaker 1: saying your name right? Is it Schari or Sherry? Amen?
- 2:31Speaker 1: Good morning, my sister, my friend. I hope I'm not
- 2:33Speaker 1: butchering your name. I'm known for that. A lot of
- 2:37Speaker 1: people say, hey, you say my name wrong, so forgive
- 2:40Speaker 1: me if I'm saying it wrong. But good morning, welcome
- 2:42Speaker 1: back to the morning, Devil's good to see you. One
- 2:44Speaker 1: more place where I need to share the video right
- 2:48Speaker 1: on the website to make sure it's there. Amen, there
- 2:54Speaker 1: it goes all right, So let's go. We're gonna be
- 2:57Speaker 1: and job of all play. If you know the story
- 3:01Speaker 1: of Job, the brother went through a lot, and the
- 3:05Speaker 1: Lord allowed him to go through a lot so he
- 3:09Speaker 1: could see the hand of God upon his life. Seems
- 3:13Speaker 1: like it doesn't make any sense sometimes, but God knows
- 3:16Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing. So if something is allowed by
- 3:21Speaker 1: God to go on in your life, it's for a
- 3:23Speaker 1: great purpose. It's for a reason. It's not to harm us.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's not to punish us. You know, a lot of
- 3:29Speaker 1: people still think that once they're born again, that God
- 3:34Speaker 1: is still able to punish us. He's not going to
- 3:38Speaker 1: punish a born again child of God. He's going to
- 3:42Speaker 1: teach us, he's going to test us, he's going to
- 3:45Speaker 1: grow us in our faith. He's going to test our faith.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But God is not punishing. Jesus took the punishment of
- 3:51Speaker 1: the whole entire world upon himself, once for all. He's
- 3:56Speaker 1: not going to continuously punish right people are condemned for unbelief.
- 4:05Speaker 1: God's not condemning anyone. John chapter three. Read it for yourself.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So a lot of things happen, and it starts messing
- 4:13Speaker 1: around with the way we think. Our mental purity is
- 4:16Speaker 1: corrupted a lot of times by the way of false,
- 4:19Speaker 1: faulty thinking, faulty teachings that we hear sometimes in some circles.
- 4:26Speaker 1: But if we remain focused on the Word, like Job,
- 4:29Speaker 1: remain focused on the situation that he was going through,
- 4:32Speaker 1: but he honored God all through it. He did not
- 4:35Speaker 1: curse God and died like they told him to do.
- 4:37Speaker 1: And Job made a promise, a covenant with his eyes,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and it caused them to have mental purity, mental purity.
- 4:47Speaker 1: We'll start there and I'm gonna show you some other
- 4:49Speaker 1: scriptures as well. Let to get the point across, because
- 4:51Speaker 1: it probably doesn't make sense right now to many people,
- 4:54Speaker 1: but it's going to make sense when we read the
- 4:57Speaker 1: Word and how Holy Spirit God starts teaching us about
- 5:00Speaker 1: mental purity. Today in the morning, Devo, Sister join and
- 5:04Speaker 1: I see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back
- 5:06Speaker 1: to the morning. Devo. My system, my friend, So let's
- 5:08Speaker 1: go forward. Let's pray first. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 5:13Speaker 1: prayer requests, the live chat is available. Also, if you're
- 5:16Speaker 1: listening from Soul Winners with a z dot org, let's
- 5:19Speaker 1: sell our radio network Lee Have, Valley's number one urban
- 5:22Speaker 1: gospel music station, been online since two thousand and eight.
- 5:25Speaker 1: If you're there, there should be a way to connect
- 5:27Speaker 1: with me as well, and to contact the network through
- 5:31Speaker 1: the contact form if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 5:34Speaker 1: or prayer requests at all anytime, whether I'm live or not,
- 5:38Speaker 1: it comes to your heart. Also, I serve on that
- 5:43Speaker 1: nationwide chat line Christian chat Line. Amen, So you'll probably
- 5:48Speaker 1: find me along those places as well. Amen. As we
- 5:53Speaker 1: minister the gospel through live chat. That is the thing
- 5:56Speaker 1: as well mental purity. God put this in my heart
- 5:59Speaker 1: and I was like, well, if you want me to
- 6:02Speaker 1: speak on it, it's for me too, right, It's for
- 6:05Speaker 1: me too. No one escapes, right. The love of God.
- 6:09Speaker 1: God's love is amazing. God's love is for everyone. A
- 6:14Speaker 1: man whosoever calls on the name, when the Lord shall
- 6:17Speaker 1: be saved and we're saved from his wrath, Because why
- 6:19Speaker 1: he loves you and he loves me. Guard purity of
- 6:23Speaker 1: the mind as well as the body. So we God,
- 6:27Speaker 1: guard our purity of the mind as well as our body,
- 6:31Speaker 1: and it will all line up. That's why Romans chapter
- 6:34Speaker 1: twelve says, re knew your mind. We knew the way
- 6:37Speaker 1: you think. And when you reknew the way you think,
- 6:39Speaker 1: you notice that your vocabulary changes. Mental purity. I'm telling
- 6:44Speaker 1: you so powerful. If we get this next level, mental purity,
- 6:49Speaker 1: guard your heart, guard your mind as well as your body.
- 6:53Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's pray. Father, I thank
- 6:56Speaker 1: you for your mental purity, your mental clean cleansinginess, that
- 7:02Speaker 1: you have clean on minds from all on righteousness according
- 7:06Speaker 1: to your word. Thank you for rescuing us, saving us.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Thank you that no one needs to be a certain
- 7:12Speaker 1: way to come to you. Your word says whoever calls,
- 7:16Speaker 1: whosoever calls upon your name will be saved. So I
- 7:20Speaker 1: pray right now that many will be calling on the
- 7:22Speaker 1: name of Jesus Yeshiwah Hamashiek to be saved and born again.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Thank you, Lo God for those testimonies. I thank you
- 7:30Speaker 1: lot God for your power of love, your grace and mercy,
- 7:33Speaker 1: and thank you that we could communicate, and I could go,
- 7:36Speaker 1: and many can go. And children of God, go boldly
- 7:39Speaker 1: into your throne, room of grace, and receive your blessing,
- 7:44Speaker 1: receive your anoiningt thing, receive your power, receive the authority
- 7:48Speaker 1: that you embedded in us and placed in us. That
- 7:52Speaker 1: we will embrace your word daily and know that we
- 7:54Speaker 1: are victorious, and that we are not defeated, that we
- 7:57Speaker 1: are part of a royal priesthot, that we are born again,
- 8:01Speaker 1: saved and sanctified and delivered for such a day as this,
- 8:05Speaker 1: for such a time as this in the world, that
- 8:08Speaker 1: you have us in. I pray, Lord God, that many
- 8:11Speaker 1: that are in distress right now will sense the peace
- 8:14Speaker 1: of God right now in their mind. Right now. Peace
- 8:17Speaker 1: be still, and know that you are God prayer Head
- 8:20Speaker 1: of protection physically, emotionally and spiritually over myself, my family,
- 8:25Speaker 1: my wife, our children, our bloodlines from both sides, my
- 8:29Speaker 1: wife's side of the family, my side of the family,
- 8:31Speaker 1: our whole entire bloodline. That the peace of God will
- 8:34Speaker 1: shine through the salvation of the Lord will make its
- 8:37Speaker 1: way through the bloodlines from the very youngest family member
- 8:42Speaker 1: to the very oldest and everyone in between. And I
- 8:45Speaker 1: pray the same prayer and the mighty name of Jesus
- 8:47Speaker 1: over every single person that's watching and listening. But the
- 8:51Speaker 1: power Holy Spirit will continue to teach in God and
- 8:55Speaker 1: show us the way of truth and the way the
- 8:57Speaker 1: way of righteousness mentally, physical and spiritually and Jesus name,
- 9:03Speaker 1: Amen and Amen. So let's go for it. Help me
- 9:05Speaker 1: share this out for like sixty seconds. When I come
- 9:08Speaker 1: back on the other side of those sixty seconds, we're
- 9:10Speaker 1: going to get to our first scripture job Chapter thirty one,
- 9:13Speaker 1: verse number one. I'm calling this one mental purity today
- 9:17Speaker 1: on the morning Devo. I'll be right back. Oh where's
- 9:26Speaker 1: my minute? Counter digoes. Man, we're back, We're back. We're back.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Sins to Julie. I see you. Good morning, God bless you. Amen,
- 11:03Speaker 1: it's good to see you on the morning Devo. You agree,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and we agree. So it's established. Right when two and
- 11:08Speaker 1: more agree in the Word of God, the Word of
- 11:10Speaker 1: God is established, and Jesus himself is in the midst
- 11:13Speaker 1: of our situation and men, by way of His Holy Spirit,
- 11:17Speaker 1: this power and agreement. Thank you for agreeing with the prayer.
- 11:20Speaker 1: So let's change is over, Amen, and get ready to
- 11:24Speaker 1: put some security it should be spoken of more than
- 11:28Speaker 1: what we're speaking about. I've been praying to the Lord.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I have two daughters, and I'm asking God send some
- 11:35Speaker 1: woman to God besides my wife right to help my wife,
- 11:39Speaker 1: to come alongside my wife and send women ministers to
- 11:42Speaker 1: my daughters to speak about sexual purity, mental purity, modesty.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Why because they're being bombarded with them tablets and them phones.
- 11:52Speaker 1: We're all kind of impure things that were causing to
- 11:54Speaker 1: think impure thoughts. When my first daughter us through of
- 12:01Speaker 1: that lived on this earf. I have a testimony about children.
- 12:03Speaker 1: But Sela, that's a name. Amen. She started saying she
- 12:08Speaker 1: was scared of this and scared of that. So she
- 12:10Speaker 1: spoke when she was very young, like three or four,
- 12:13Speaker 1: maybe even younger three, around three. And guess what now,
- 12:17Speaker 1: sister says she's scared of certain things. Where did that
- 12:19Speaker 1: fear come from. It's not the spirit of the God
- 12:21Speaker 1: that she got that fear from. She saw it somewhere.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Maybe it was a cartoon, maybe one of her friends,
- 12:27Speaker 1: or you know, of course, demonic forces and influences around us.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Maybe got to a way of thinking. So if she
- 12:36Speaker 1: would know how to keep her mentality pure, the spirit
- 12:40Speaker 1: of fear will leave. I pray, amen. The word of
- 12:43Speaker 1: God is really all over her ears, you know literally,
- 12:51Speaker 1: because we play the word of God on tablets and
- 12:53Speaker 1: phones throughout the our house, and so that thing has
- 12:59Speaker 1: to leave, But it starts with our way of thinking, right.
- 13:03Speaker 1: And they're so young. So now I'm a nine year
- 13:06Speaker 1: old and a four year old. So I'm hoping and
- 13:09Speaker 1: praying that someone will come alongside. And maybe they're a
- 13:14Speaker 1: conference for kids or something something that I don't know
- 13:17Speaker 1: about that they could be able to get the impartation.
- 13:20Speaker 1: A lot of times, you know, my post, my wife
- 13:23Speaker 1: is out a post with praying over our children, laying
- 13:25Speaker 1: hands and all that. Amen. And a lot of times
- 13:30Speaker 1: our kids become accustomed to that. But when they hear
- 13:33Speaker 1: it from someone else, right, for some reason, God will
- 13:36Speaker 1: send a minister to minister to our children and they
- 13:39Speaker 1: get certain things that we've been saying, but they get
- 13:42Speaker 1: it clearer, and it's a great thing when the body
- 13:45Speaker 1: comes together, Sister Jolie says. My daughter says, I'm not
- 13:48Speaker 1: scared because God is with me. Now that Halloween is
- 13:51Speaker 1: coming up, when we see all the decorations, even though
- 13:55Speaker 1: we are scared, with we are we are scared. With faith,
- 13:59Speaker 1: we will keep going. Amen. Amen. And I this is
- 14:04Speaker 1: out of love. Please parents, if you can, I know,
- 14:08Speaker 1: our children pressure us during the Halloween season. Thank you
- 14:12Speaker 1: to Jolie for your comment. But don't do it. Don't celebrate,
- 14:17Speaker 1: don't connect with Halloween. When you talk about demonic spirits. Amen.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know people think, oh, it's
- 14:24Speaker 1: just for kids and fun and family, very demonic. Don't
- 14:29Speaker 1: connect your kids to that. I get pressured every year,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I know, especially as my daughter gets older and she
- 14:35Speaker 1: sees all her friends going to the haunt do any
- 14:38Speaker 1: park and all the amusement parks and all that stuff. Found
- 14:41Speaker 1: out last year she went without my permission, so you
- 14:45Speaker 1: know it's a draw. Fear is a big business. But
- 14:49Speaker 1: we know that fear is not a spirit of God.
- 14:52Speaker 1: So just logically thinking, if fear is not the spirit
- 14:57Speaker 1: of God, then what are we doing and sangle our
- 15:00Speaker 1: kids and ourselves with that environment. Amen. Thank you so
- 15:04Speaker 1: much Jolie for your comment. Yet, and your daughter should
- 15:06Speaker 1: not be afraid. That's right, do not be afraid. God
- 15:09Speaker 1: is with her, and God is with you as well.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Good morning, Manuel, good morning. You are absolutely right. It's
- 15:15Speaker 1: the spiritual influence. Yes, it's so important for us to
- 15:20Speaker 1: impart wisdom and part love, impart the Word of God
- 15:24Speaker 1: on our children, starting at our young age, so that way,
- 15:28Speaker 1: when they get older, the Bible says, they will not
- 15:31Speaker 1: depart from the teachings of what they've learned through the
- 15:34Speaker 1: Word and through their parents. Amen. God is good, He's faithful.
- 15:37Speaker 1: So let me get this on the screen. And man,
- 15:40Speaker 1: I do talk about Halloween every year. I sound like
- 15:43Speaker 1: a broken record. So that's coming soon, Lord willing, Amen,
- 15:47Speaker 1: because I know for sure it's a challenging time for
- 15:53Speaker 1: us parents, because our kids start pressuring us to do
- 16:00Speaker 1: you and celebrate and let them be a part of
- 16:03Speaker 1: all that stuff. And we ain't having it. We ain't
- 16:08Speaker 1: having it. Over here in the Lopez Residence. It's life
- 16:12Speaker 1: in the spirit. Yes, there is there's no lying from
- 16:17Speaker 1: the Spirit of God. There's no fear from the Spirit
- 16:19Speaker 1: of God. It's only truth, love, power, authority. Man, it
- 16:23Speaker 1: goes on and on and on. He's the Alpha and Omega,
- 16:27Speaker 1: and he knows the beginning from the end. So we
- 16:29Speaker 1: follow a Lord and a savior, the Lord and the Savior,
- 16:33Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, all the way through, all the way through. Amen,
- 16:38Speaker 1: let's go for it. Mental purity. We're going to be
- 16:41Speaker 1: in job. We're gonna start from job thirty one and one. Amen.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Bible says in job thirty one one. This is what
- 16:50Speaker 1: job says the man of God. I have made a
- 16:53Speaker 1: covenant agreement with my eyes. How then could I gaze
- 16:58Speaker 1: lustfully at virgin? Let me read you another version of
- 17:04Speaker 1: the same scripture so you can get an idea. I
- 17:08Speaker 1: made a covenant with my eyes. That's a promise in
- 17:10Speaker 1: my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. Where
- 17:15Speaker 1: does that come from? Comes from your mind? Ladies and gentlemen.
- 17:19Speaker 1: When you make a promise to not do something with
- 17:23Speaker 1: a part of your body, that means your mind, your
- 17:26Speaker 1: mental state is being purified, and your mind is reminding
- 17:30Speaker 1: your body don't do that. So don't underestimate men. Supurity.
- 17:36Speaker 1: I know sexual purity is to catch word, right, but
- 17:41Speaker 1: there is a thing called mental purity. Romans Chapter twelve
- 17:46Speaker 1: is all on that renewing the mind. Right now, we
- 17:50Speaker 1: have the mind of Christ that deals with our mental purity.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Whatever happens in our mind first manifesting our bodies later.
- 18:01Speaker 1: If you really ponder and think about something over and
- 18:04Speaker 1: over and over again. Eventually, whether that thing that you're
- 18:09Speaker 1: thinking about is good or bad, Eventually you will respond,
- 18:13Speaker 1: You will react, and you will do something about what
- 18:17Speaker 1: you're thinking about. So be careful what you're pondering about.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Be careful what you're thinking about. Be careful how your
- 18:24Speaker 1: mind is taking you to different places. That's why music
- 18:28Speaker 1: that's not honoring to God is dangerous. Movies that are
- 18:32Speaker 1: not honoring to God is dangerous. Not novels that contain
- 18:37Speaker 1: explicit language and sexual things very dangerous. Right, we know
- 18:44Speaker 1: that for sure. We don't have to be over spiritual
- 18:49Speaker 1: about it, but we just know that that's the truth. Men,
- 18:53Speaker 1: Supurity guard your mind as well as your body. Starts
- 18:58Speaker 1: in the mind. This is good. Yeah, it does started
- 19:00Speaker 1: the mind. I noticed some people know my testimony, but
- 19:06Speaker 1: think about your own testimony. You made a decision in
- 19:10Speaker 1: your mind to call out to a God that was
- 19:13Speaker 1: unknown to you at the time. Some people were in
- 19:17Speaker 1: the church when they got saved. Some people I got
- 19:19Speaker 1: saved drunk and high in the studio way back in
- 19:22Speaker 1: two thousand and one in my home, my home studio,
- 19:25Speaker 1: when my first house, and my mind was telling me
- 19:31Speaker 1: that I had my body was having enough so my
- 19:34Speaker 1: body was physically out of whack because my mind was
- 19:38Speaker 1: controlling my body. And then I got to a point
- 19:41Speaker 1: where and said, listen, there has to be more than this.
- 19:45Speaker 1: So I called on to I called out to unknown God.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Didn't say the name of Jesus, none of that. But
- 19:50Speaker 1: I called on God. And God knows my heart. He
- 19:53Speaker 1: knew my heart, he knew, he knew what I was
- 19:55Speaker 1: calling upon him. He meant, and when he visited my situation,
- 20:00Speaker 1: when he found me where I was, my mindset started
- 20:05Speaker 1: changing a man. The very next day when he answered
- 20:09Speaker 1: my prayer. The mind is a battle field, Yes it is.
- 20:14Speaker 1: That was Job thirty one, and one look at this
- 20:16Speaker 1: scripture surprised. Jesus, our Lord says it this way. But
- 20:23Speaker 1: I say to you that everyone so much as looks
- 20:30Speaker 1: at a woman with lust for her has already committed
- 20:35Speaker 1: adultery with her in his heart. Some visions say in
- 20:39Speaker 1: his mind. Some versions say that the heart is really
- 20:43Speaker 1: the mindset of the person that's looking. Job said it
- 20:48Speaker 1: hundreds of years. Jesus confirms what Job was talking about.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Amazing right, because we know, like Manuel said, the mind
- 21:00Speaker 1: is a battle field. The enemy is defeated. Repropeat the enemy.
- 21:05Speaker 1: The devil is defeated. You can't have reign and rule
- 21:09Speaker 1: and dominion over us once we're born again. But what
- 21:14Speaker 1: we can do is rely in trust on the word
- 21:16Speaker 1: of God, take all thoughts captive and put them under
- 21:19Speaker 1: the obedience right of the Lord Jesus. Now, since this
- 21:24Speaker 1: is war, it will be some casualties. Some people will
- 21:28Speaker 1: fall by the wayside, ay Man, The beautiful thing about
- 21:34Speaker 1: a child of God that falls is that we have
- 21:36Speaker 1: the power to get back up. The unfortunate thing about
- 21:39Speaker 1: a child that is not inspired by God, that is
- 21:42Speaker 1: not filled with holy spirit God, when they fall, they
- 21:45Speaker 1: keep on falling, and they need a help, a helping hand.
- 21:50Speaker 1: They need someone that loves Jesus to get them back
- 21:53Speaker 1: up on their feet, to get them to a place
- 21:56Speaker 1: where they could mentally call upon the name aim of
- 22:00Speaker 1: the Lord and really mean it. And then God will
- 22:03Speaker 1: do a heart transplant, supernatural heart transplant, and a supernatural
- 22:07Speaker 1: brain transparent. They will have a new mind, They will
- 22:10Speaker 1: have a new heart, and their desires will be the
- 22:12Speaker 1: desires that God places in them. And now they will
- 22:16Speaker 1: think differently, speak differently, and perform differently, act differently. Amen,
- 22:21Speaker 1: And they will live a life full of what Victory
- 22:26Speaker 1: and Well says. Out of the abundance of a man's heart,
- 22:29Speaker 1: the issues of his life flow. That's right. Amen. Therefore,
- 22:34Speaker 1: now there is no combination for those who are in
- 22:36Speaker 1: Christ Jesus right. So we get back up, But it
- 22:39Speaker 1: starts in the mind. I challenge anyone that's listening or
- 22:43Speaker 1: watching to take take take all of that inventory of
- 22:52Speaker 1: your thoughts. Take inventory your thoughts, right, and just think
- 22:59Speaker 1: about it. What are you thinking about the most. Some
- 23:01Speaker 1: people are worry Some people are worrying about finances. Some
- 23:04Speaker 1: people are worrying about what's gonna happen tomorrow. So worry
- 23:09Speaker 1: becomes what your mental state becomes. The power of worry,
- 23:14Speaker 1: and worry is something that we as believers are commanded
- 23:18Speaker 1: not to do. The Lord says, don't worry. All through
- 23:21Speaker 1: the scripture, God says, do not be afraid. Don't worry.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I'm with you, right, So, because if we think about
- 23:29Speaker 1: worrying and men, we're going to start thinking about things
- 23:32Speaker 1: that are going to damage on mental purity. Don't worry
- 23:37Speaker 1: is not a cliche. God, Jesus the Father all say
- 23:44Speaker 1: all three and one. They say, Holy Spirit, all three
- 23:46Speaker 1: and one say, do not worry. He's with us, he's
- 23:50Speaker 1: in us, he's working through us. He has us, he
- 23:52Speaker 1: saved us, he rescued us, he protects us Psalm ninety
- 23:55Speaker 1: one for those who are worrying. And men read that.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Put it in your heart and speak it. Amen. So
- 24:03Speaker 1: we have a lot to look forward to. But there
- 24:06Speaker 1: is a war, and I believe even in the war
- 24:09Speaker 1: and the battle of the mind, I believe Jesus gave
- 24:12Speaker 1: us a new mindset. We have the mind of Christ.
- 24:14Speaker 1: The Bible says, so men supurity when we use it
- 24:20Speaker 1: and we study it out through the scriptures. Amen, it's
- 24:23Speaker 1: going to fall under the category of sexual purity as well.
- 24:27Speaker 1: That is what we think we usually do. Right. So,
- 24:31Speaker 1: if you think on the things of the Lord, think
- 24:34Speaker 1: about things above, things that are pure, the things that
- 24:37Speaker 1: are worthy of thinking of things that are good, things
- 24:39Speaker 1: that are righteous, Amen, things that lead to life. When
- 24:42Speaker 1: you think upon those things, your body will respond that way.
- 24:46Speaker 1: But if you think about death and worry, anxiety, depression,
- 24:50Speaker 1: demonic stuff, if you think about that, if you put
- 24:54Speaker 1: your mind to the things of this world, then the
- 24:57Speaker 1: result will be worldly. If you put your mind to
- 25:00Speaker 1: the things of the Holy Spirit, of God. Amen, your
- 25:02Speaker 1: thoughts would be pure. It's just like that. Amen, mental purity,
- 25:09Speaker 1: Give you one more and then we're out of time.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Psalms Chapter one on one, verse three. Psalms Chapter one
- 25:15Speaker 1: hundred and one, Verse number three. I will set before
- 25:17Speaker 1: my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men
- 25:22Speaker 1: I hate. They will not cling to me. That's a mindset,
- 25:26Speaker 1: and you have this mindset, and it's a beautiful mindset.
- 25:29Speaker 1: It helps us stay encouraged, it helps us stay focused,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and it helps our mental purity. Amen. So that's what
- 25:36Speaker 1: I have for you today. I hope you receive that
- 25:39Speaker 1: a man. Continue to study out the word for yourself.
- 25:42Speaker 1: When it comes to mental purity, when you put that
- 25:45Speaker 1: in the concordance, you know, if you have a digital concordance,
- 25:48Speaker 1: sexual purity is going to pop up. So it goes
- 25:51Speaker 1: hand in hand. Our mental purity causes us to have
- 25:54Speaker 1: sexual purity as well. So I'm out of here, and well,
- 25:57Speaker 1: says God's word tells us, let this mind be in
- 26:01Speaker 1: me as it is in Christ. Jesus. Yes, good point,
- 26:06Speaker 1: and thank you so much. And this was very encouraging.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I'm praising God that people will encourage I'm encouraged, amen,
- 26:13Speaker 1: because we have the same spiritual war that's going on
- 26:17Speaker 1: in every single individual, and we have an adversary call
- 26:20Speaker 1: the flesh, that tries to get us to a mindset
- 26:24Speaker 1: before Christ. But that's not gonna happen because we have
- 26:27Speaker 1: the mind of Christ. Now we're born again, we're saved.
- 26:29Speaker 1: This blessed me. Thank you, Sam, You're welcome of Sharid.
- 26:33Speaker 1: God bless you and everybody else that's on here that's listening.
- 26:37Speaker 1: God bless you all. God keep you all, and remember
- 26:40Speaker 1: always remember this that God is good. He's
