Authentic Imitationology #78 [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

0:03
I wanted family. Good morning, God blessed me. Welcome back to the
0:05
morning Devo. Today is Friday, so you already know. We get into
0:10
an authentic imitationology mode a man. We switch and we get into a focus
0:15
on imitating the most successful person who has ever lived on this planet Earth,
0:20
the Lord Jesus. Amen, him and everything that he has done, everything
0:24
he is doing everything that we're becoming like him, Amen, And we're being
0:29
like him, So we're imitating him and no other. Amen. And Jesus,
0:34
the Lord, Amen, the perfect example of God on this earth.
0:39
He gave us the perfect example, the sinless man, the sinless servant,
0:43
Amen, the suffering servant, the one who took all the sins of the
0:48
whole entire planet, on the whole entire world upon himself, yet he himself
0:52
did not sin. We're gonna imitate him on Fridays Authentic Imitationlogy. This is
0:57
episode number seventy eight. And the question I have today is how do you
1:04
endure trials? And then I asked this the other day on the youth group
1:10
that I was I was blessed to be a part of to teach a man,
1:15
And I asked that question, and I said, listen them, let's
1:18
how you cope with your trials? What do you do? You go to
1:21
other people, you do this, you do that, And they were mentioning
1:25
some interesting things, so I figured, let me see, let me ask
1:29
that to the authentic invitationlogy people right online. How do you endure trials and
1:38
what do you focus on to help you persevere through suffering? These are some
1:42
questions that listen regardless if you believe in the Lord Jesus or not, I
1:47
could guarantee you we're going to have a position of pain that's very similar.
1:52
We all suffer, we all go through pain, hardships, loss, all
1:56
kinds of stuff. But how do we endure right and who do we stay
2:00
focused on or what do we stay focused on to persevere during those times of
2:06
suffering and pain and all that stuff that happens is going to happen in life.
2:10
About how do we focus and what do we do? So I'm calling
2:14
this one look forward because if you look back to sometimes that you know are
2:19
unfortunate and you keep on focus on the things behind us, Amen, you're
2:23
not looking forward to the hope that we have in Christ, then you're going
2:25
to be in the worst position Amen. So from experience, I know what
2:30
I'm talking about, from experience, trying to help you out. From experience,
2:32
I'm like, let's look forward, don't look back, Amen, because
2:36
sometimes in the back, other than Christ, the day that you met him,
2:39
the day that he found you, the day that he saved you,
2:43
rescued you, filled you with his spirit. Amen, that day that I
2:46
look back on is beautiful. But everything around those times in the back Amen,
2:53
then not really you know, helping me or benefiting me. Amen.
2:57
So I try to focus and I try to look forward, Amen, look
3:00
forward to our hope in Christ. I hope in Christ. I hope you
3:04
get what I'm saying. Amen. Good morning, Sister Joy, and good
3:07
morning God bless you. Welcome back to the Morning Devo. So every Friday,
3:09
Authentic Imitationalogy. This is episode number seventy eight. So we've been together
3:15
seventy eight Fridays, Amen, getting this on. So, Oh, glory
3:19
to God. Right, So let's pray first. After we pray, we'll
3:21
share this out for sixty seconds. Help me share this to as many people
3:24
that come to your heart, that comes to your mind, so that way
3:27
they could get on this word and they could get this morning Devo into their
3:30
system, Amen, into their body, into their mind, into their heart.
3:34
Amen, And they could apply on these principles, and they can apply
3:37
this word that we have Amen, through the scriptures in their own lives in
3:42
real time and see what God could do with those opportunities in that situation and
3:46
the situation that you're facing. God is able to help you through those situations.
3:52
Amen. Sometimes he won't take away the pain, sometimes he won't take
3:55
away the trial. Amen. But as long as we're focused on Him,
4:00
the author and perfector of our faith, and we're looking forward, we have
4:02
a great, great possibility, a great chance to get through it. Amen,
4:08
to get through any trial, any situation with Him. Without him,
4:13
I think it's curtains. With him, we could do all things through Christ,
4:15
who gives us the strength. So you have any questions, comments,
4:19
concerns, prayer requests. I'm your man right here, Amen, So don't
4:25

5:00
Jesus for today, and thank you Lord God that we have the way of
5:04
looking forward and not relying on the past. Only past that we rely on,
5:10
Lord God, is the past that you've shown us through your word.
5:13
And what you have done before is your resume of what you can do for
5:16
us and through us today. I thank you Lord God for saving You're saving
5:21
grace. Thank you, Look God that you are all truthful, that in
5:26
you there's no lies. In you, there's no darkness. Thank you,
5:28
Lord God, that you're full of grace and mercy upon our lives. Thank
5:30
you Lord Jesus that you love us, You loved us so much that you
5:33
died for us, that we will have eternal life. All we have to
5:38
do, Low God, and all our pray, Lord God, is that
5:40
you will help us focus and look forward towards what you have done and what
5:45
you're doing in our lives. I pray a hedge protection over all of the
5:48
people right now that's listening and watching, over myself, my family, my
5:51
bloodline. In Jesus' name, I pray forth ark ween angels, minister angels,
5:57
dispatching them right now through every single regions or every single people place wherever
6:03
you are, Lord God, I pray that your arkwen angels, minsterry angels
6:06
and warrant angels will annihilate the tactics of the enemy over our lives. In
6:11
Jesus name, I pray peace to their body physically, emotionally and spiritually.
6:15
For everyone listening and watching, I pray Lord God that over myself as well,
6:18
I pray Lord God, that we will come together devote sometimes to you,
6:23
look forward towards you, and Lord God, that you would look at
6:26
us and be mindful of who we are, because you already know our hearts,
6:30
You already know what we think. And I thank you, Lord God
6:32
that you love us anyway. I thank you Lord God that you are with
6:34
us anywhere. And thank you Lord God that you will never leave us nor
6:38
forsake us. And I pray to God that the peace of God will give
6:42
us this surpassing peace that the world needs, but they don't know where to
6:46
get it. And help us, Lord God, introduce people to the one
6:49
who is the princip peace, which is you, Lord Jesus. So I
6:53
pray by faith, I pray, Lord God, that you will continue to
6:56
work through these authentic imitationology sessions, these morning deeps and touch the hearts of
7:00
every single person who is seeking truth in Jesus name. I prayed. It's
7:04
by faith, and everyone who agrees we say amen, and Amen is power
7:08
and agreement. So let's agree. Let's take sixty seconds to share this album.
7:12
When we come back, we'll get right into the scripture. And the
7:15
scripture is Second Corinthians, chapter number four, Second Corinthians, Chapter number four,
7:18
verses sixteen to eighteen. The apostle Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,
7:24
is gonna let us know a couple of things today. Amen. So
7:26
let's go for it. I'll be very bad man. We're back. We're
8:45
back. Let's go for it. Let's see what the word of God has
8:48
for us today. It's amazing that holy spirite God has an on time word
8:52
for us every single day. Who could testify? Who say amen? Because
8:54
listen. Every time I read the scripture, I'd be like, that's for
8:58
me right now. I'm taking that, I'm stealing that, owning that,
9:01
Amen, and I'm gonna apply that to my life. There's never a miss.
9:05
You can never miss when you put the word of God in front of
9:09
you, look forward to what God's word has for you daily. Amen,
9:13
can never miss. You will never be letting every ts for for us every
9:16
single time we read his word. Why because his word is alive, active,
9:20
shopping at any double edged sword, and his word is able to do
9:24
exactly what his word says it would do. Amen, penetrating our heart.
9:28
Penetrating our heart. Sister Joint says, I thank God for another day he
9:33
gives me to wake up. But I am asking you to pray for my
9:37
son, Louis. I know you are, And now it's my husband.
9:41
He has pain in his chest. I don't know what to do. I
9:46
want to take him to the emergency room today. He is not feeling too
9:48
good. You know what he is going through. He is going through chemo.
9:54
I guess chemo right now, and my son he has to go for
9:58
surgery. I'm getting so tired and so weak. I don't have nobody to
10:03
help me. I'm all by myself. So God, we set forth the
10:05
ark green angels, minister angels, the angels that will help sister Joanne's family
10:11
right now. Give it a wisdom, give it a strength, and when
10:15
she's weak, you will show you so strong in her life over the tourist
10:18
family, from the very youngest family member to the very oldest family member,
10:22
and every single person in between, that you would touch their heart, touch
10:26
their lives and go and move forward and victory. My sister, you got
10:28
what you need. Amen, you have the Lord. You're never loan.
10:33
Amen, and reach out to the sisters in Christ that you know that pray
10:37
for you and reach out and they will definitely be there with you, and
10:41
they will send somebody and send hope. Most partly we will pray, and
10:46
that's the Lord to intervene. But Angelo, God bless you, Bro,
10:50
Larro prayers being lifted in Jesus name. There you go right there. You
10:54
never alone, my sister, You never alone. I pray for strengths.
10:56
Xavier, God bless you, my bro. Pray for strengths. See that
11:01
we've already got people praying and we're ministering in the spirit right now, sending
11:05
your way, hope your way, sending peace your way, sending arkmen,
11:11
angels your way, ministering angels your way, sending the presence of God.
11:15
Amen. With You're already inside of you, my sister, so you're never
11:18
alone. Thank you for trusting us enough to share that. And that's some
11:22
you know. I trust that you trust in God. Amen, And thank
11:26
you so much for sharing that. But don't be having fear. Amen,
11:31
have faith and look forward to what God is going to do in your life.
11:35
Every time God intervenes in my life, for example, Amen, is
11:37
always something the best thing that I could ever hope for when God intervenes.
11:43
Sometimes it'll be painful on my end, but it would be the best thing
11:48
that ever happens, if that makes any sense. So let's go forward.
11:52
Let's see what we have today. Thank you so much, my sister for
11:54
sharing that. Amen. I love to pray for people, and I know
11:58
the our prayer works. So on this episode of authentic immentationology, we're gonna
12:05
look forward. Hey man, that's what I'm calling this one today. Amen.
12:07
And this is the scripture right here. Second Corinthians chapter four, sixteen
12:11
to eighteen. I hope that's low. Come this, okay, I get
12:20
it. That's that's six days is supposed to be sixteen. So we do
12:24
not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away. Listen closely.
12:31
The Bible is honest. The Bible's honest. Though our outer self is wasting
12:37
away, we're getting older, everyone is. Our inner self is being renewed
12:41
day by day. This is what I'm what I've been trying to tell young
12:46
people for years. Or you old, you old, you old? Okay,
12:52
the outer part, everybody out of self is wasting away. Everybody.
12:56
For the young people, listen, thank God that you're young. Use your
13:01
youth and follow Christ. Amen, use your strength and youth and everything.
13:05
But the guarantee is this. You're out of self is wasting away just like
13:09
everybody else. But our inner self, if you're in Christ, is being
13:13
renewed day by day. A men, you notice anybody with a young spirit
13:18
in them, They might be sixty seventy years old, but they have such
13:20
a young spirit inside of them. That's because the spirit is being renewed inside
13:24
of them day by day, Verse seventeen. For this light, momentary affliction
13:31
is preparing for us an internal way of glory beyond all comparison. Right,
13:37
So I know I don't like affliction. I don't like pain. I don't
13:41
like drama, chaos, I don't like pain. I don't like none of
13:45
it. I don't know anybody who welcomes that or loves that or likes that
13:48
either. But it's a momentary affliction. According to when we're looking forward to
13:54
what God has for you and what God has for me, momentary affliction is
14:00
preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison Verse eighteen. As
14:05
we look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that
14:11
are unseen in the spirit. Right, For the things that are seen are
14:16
transient. In other words, they're temporary. But the things that are unseen
14:22
are what eternal. Last time I checked, temporary has no comparison to eternity.
14:31
What's happening to us when it comes to affliction is preparing us where actually
14:37
God has actually taking affliction and using it for us to learn from and to
14:43
grow from. Right and affliction, pain and all that. If you're in
14:46
Christ, those are our slaves, Those are not our masters. As a
14:50
matter of fact, nothing compares to what's coming the way of glory. Nothing
14:56
compares to that, this temporary life that we're living. A man, let's
14:58
make account, let's share the gospel. Let's reach people with the love of
15:01
Christ. Amen. But all those other things that are temporary, Amen,
15:07
Well, we ain't gonna look at that and compare that to anything that God
15:11
has for us. We can look forward to what God has for you and
15:13
for me. For the things that are seeing, what are transient, temporary,
15:18
but the things that are unseen are eternal. We serve a God who
15:22
is spirit. We serve a God who is unseen but shows up and makes
15:26
himself seen through various ways. Man who can testified. And when you don't
15:33
think God is working Amen, he shows up Amen, when we look forward
15:35
towards him, when we look forward to the Lord. Amen. So he's
15:39
never going to abandon us. He's never gonna Nothing can separate from us from
15:45
His love first and foremost, right, height, depth, demons, life,
15:48
death, Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Sin will
15:54
separate rate us, Sin will separate us from his goodness, but his love.
15:58
Because God is nothing can separate us from God's love. The Bible says
16:03
it. I agree with it, and I believe it. So the joy
16:04
us, Good morning, God blessed, Praise the Lord. Yeah, we're
16:07
praising the Lord here. Amen. On the morning Devo. Xavier says,
16:12
this is an awesome verse about finding strength and renewal in times of difficulty,
16:18
focusing on the eternal rather than the temporary. Yes, listen, what we
16:22
have in common. No matter who believes or not, we're all going to
16:26
go through some kind of trouble, some kind of pain, some kind of
16:30
suffering. Amen. My pain might be different from your pain, but amen,
16:34
we have common ground. Things don't always come together the way we think
16:38
they will, and in this world Jesus said, we will have trials and
16:42
trouble. Amen. So we all go through things. The thing is what
16:47
are we doing, who we're focusing on, who we're believing in, What
16:51
are we believing in? Amen? So it always helps to have something to
16:56
look forward to, not something to look back on. Think about it,
17:00
man, thank you, thank you. This is the verse that God gave
17:03
me through my Bible app that I use to do these morning DeVos. So
17:11
I believe this is for us right now today, Amen, for us to
17:15
look forward. It might not be a message for everybody. Somebody might be
17:18
already in this zone of looking forward, and I'm looking back Praise the Lord.
17:22
Amen. Sometimes I get into that zone too, But I know that
17:26
I could use the word of God daily. I could use the help of
17:30
God's Holy Spirit daily. Amen. I'm humble enough to say that I don't
17:33
have it all together. Amen. There's a lot of evangelists on these social
17:37
media seemingly having it altogether. But let's pray for one another that will be
17:44
honest. The Word of God is honest. Telling us listen, you're out
17:48
of self is decaying, it's wasting away. Amen. You don't hear a
17:52
lot of people preaching that, but it's the word of God. Amen.
17:55
So let's be honest. The Word is honest with us. So let's go
17:57
for it. Let's apply with the word or the God has for us.
18:00
Let's not apply something that's outside of the word and try to make it the
18:03
word and try to tell people that this word is not relevant anymore, because
18:08
you know this word is relevant. Amen. God, let you or will
18:12
be done yes all the time, as it is in heaven, let it
18:17
be on earth. Amen. So it always helps to have something to look
18:21
forward to when the work week feels like it never is never going to end.
18:27
Weekend plans are bright light at the end of the tunnel. That's why
18:32
our fridays I try to shift it into my weekend mode, right because I
18:37
look forward to some time, some downtime, even though as a minister and
18:42
ministry weekends might get a little bit busier than the week But amen, whatever
18:48
the situation is, you know what I mean. Usually Amen, Commonly,
18:52
the weekend is something to look forward to for a lot of people, other
18:56
people in certain professions like nurses and doctors. The weekend, the weekend,
19:00
it is what it is. But we have to have some kind of downtime,
19:03
some kind of time to engage our family, you know, to be
19:07
with family, be with friends, to rest, Amen, to rest.
19:12
So the weekend is something to look forward to sometimes knowing that winter won't last
19:19
forever and that spring is coming and spring is here, right, winter was
19:23
to me, winter is kind of dreadful a man. Depending on where you're
19:27
living over in the Northeast, to me, it's kind of dreadful. Some
19:32
people embrace winter, some people love winter. I could do without it,
19:36
but I don't want summer all year around either. A man would have to
19:38
rather have spring summer and fall. You could take the winter away, but
19:45
amen, I'm not in a place where we don't have a winter season,
19:48
so all those things won't last forever. Spring is here, and that can
19:55
help you get through a cold, dark place in your life knowing that this
20:00
nothing else to look forward to. Like when different seasons hit, Amen,
20:04
I literally get into different season mode. I don't know if that makes sense
20:07
to you. Spring comes, that means spring cleaning, spring, this new
20:11
things, that new year comes in the winter. I'm like, yeah,
20:15
knew this, knew that. Amen. It gets me into a mold to
20:18
look forward to other things, to better things. A man, I'm not
20:21
gonna look back to Man, that was my worst year I had or fifteen
20:26
twenty thirty years ago. That's the worst time I ever had in my life.
20:29
I think about it every now and then because I'm human being right,
20:30
But I don't stay there. I look forward a man. I live my
20:36
life the way I drive. I look forward, not backwards. A man.
20:38
If I waste time or too much time looking through the rear view mirror
20:41
or through my side mirrors, I'm gonna lose focus on what's in front of
20:45
me. Amen, So never lose focus on what's in front of you.
20:48
And the Lord is in front of you. The Lord is in you,
20:49
The Lord's with you, He's by your side. Amen, he has your
20:52
back. And he doesn't even remind us of our past. So who's reminding
20:57
us of our past? If it ain't the Lord exactly, either us or
21:03
the enemy. Because it ain't, it ain't God. God's not saying,
21:07
yo, remember what you did twenty years ago. You know, I'm gonna
21:10
remind you that you're this and you're nah God. That's not Jesus, that's
21:12
not God. That's another spirit. Hey man, Some days there's terrible days,
21:18
to be honest, some days there's good days. Some days there's peace,
21:22
some days there's chaos. Some days there's pain. Sometimes it's pain free.
21:26
We got to be honest. We men live by the day. Sometimes
21:29
I'm learning to learn by the day. But most importantly, I learned to
21:33
look forward to what God has for me and for you. Amen. When
21:37
when you look forward to the hope that God offers, His hope never disappoints.
21:41
This world system promises you all kinds of stuff, promise me and my
21:47
children all kinds of stuff, man, And those things are all transient temporary,
21:52
and you focus on the temporary, you're gonna get temporary results. Some
21:55
people ask me, why would a god punish you eternal for something that you've
22:00
done temporarily. That's a good question, right, Why would God punish sin
22:06
eternally? Because it was never his plan to begin with? Think about it.
22:10
Genesis one reading hisself, Genesis two, read of hisself, then Genesis
22:14
three, and something happens in Genesis three. And we don't even know how
22:18
long it took Eve to be deceived by that serpent. We just think it
22:22
happened right away, and we think Eve ate that apple right away because we're
22:26
just putting that in there. There's no dates there, Amen, But say
22:30
it was right away that We don't know how long they were living with God,
22:34
that Adam and even were obeying God. It could have been a billion
22:37
years that they were obeying and then that one time it disobeyed. So we
22:44
take time as if Jesus looking at my calendar and that or God is looking
22:48
at your calendar. His time, he's an eternal God. His time is
22:52
not like our time. Amen. He stepped into our time. In the
22:56
beginning. God created us. He wasn't created, He was created tour in
23:00
the beginning, got created the heavens and the earth. Nowhere in the scripture
23:03
does it say, oh, that only took a week or a couple of
23:06
weeks, or a month, a couple of years, or that was way
23:08
back in one AD or one BC. Nah, come on, we're making
23:14
that up. Let's be honest. The word says what the word says,
23:17
and let's go by what the word says. Amen. There's a request here,
23:22
please help the children feed. Please, if somebody wants to go to
23:26
that site, I'll put it up. Amen. The reason why I,
23:32
you know, I'm kind of like cautious about these kind of messages is that
23:37
there's a lot of things going on online. So if it's true that you
23:41
need this request for your children, there's many ministries depending on where you are,
23:47
I'll get with you and I'll send you some links to some ministries that
23:49
do this, that help people all over the world with food and hunger and
23:53
all that. Amen. So thank you for sharing that. The suffering feels
23:57
so heavy. Sometimes, the trials feel heavy. Sometimes the struggle seems like
24:02
is never going to end. So how do you endure? You look forward
24:07
to what God has now for what the world has. Please, if you're
24:11
buying into this world system and man, you might want to rethink that.
24:15
I could guarantee I tried what the world offered, trust me, and I
24:19
tried it, and I did it. I guess well, according to the
24:22
world standards, and I was lied to, Oh, just drink this smoke
24:27
that, get with this person, get this car, get this type of
24:32
money, get in this crowd. Done it, been there, done that.
24:36
It was all lie. Amen. So some people it seemingly works because
24:41
it's only a temporary fix to something that's eternally broken in their hearts. You
24:45
want an eternal fix. Look forward to what the Lord Jesus has for you
24:48
and for me. So we have what we need through the verses today we
24:52
have what we need through God every day, and we got the temporary,
24:57
the afflictions and all that a slave to the Master. Amen. And he's
25:03
using these pains and afflictions that are temporary and showing us to look forward to
25:07
the eternal. Don't dwell on your past, Amen. We have today right
25:11
now. We could change some things. We could seek God, run after
25:15
him, run after our purpose in Christ, and move forward and look forward.
25:18
Amen. I hope you get what I'm saying today, and I hope
25:21
this sparks up something in your life for this weekend to be the best weekend
25:25
you've very experienced in a long time. Right, second, gringth is shot
25:27
the four. Read the whole chapter for yourself amount of time. But thank
25:32
you so much for coming through to these morning DeVos on Fridays we do authentic
25:36
commitationology. God bless you all, got keep you all or remember always that
25:41
God is good. Peace,
