0:12
Speaker 1: All right, we're having issues with the system. Amen's keep
0:18
Speaker 1: on its doing this thing early in the morning. It's
0:22
Speaker 1: like the computers go to sleep and wake up, just
0:25
Speaker 1: like human beings go to sleep and wake up. It
0:27
Speaker 1: looks like the computer's karag this morning, but we're here
0:30
Speaker 1: on the morning. DeVos, you broke, Sam Lopez A kadj
0:33
Speaker 1: Sam Rock. Today we're talking about temporary satisfaction. Many people
0:40
Speaker 1: are looking for a quick, fixed, temporary satisfaction, something that
0:43
Speaker 1: will relieve the pain, something that will make them forget
0:47
Speaker 1: problems and issues in life. And men they're using things
0:51
Speaker 1: to try to escape reality, their own reality, Amen, and
0:55
Speaker 1: they're looking for a temporary satisfaction. Making worldly things doesn't
1:02
Speaker 1: add up to what you think will happen in your life.
1:06
Speaker 1: You can probably think, well, if I do this and
1:08
Speaker 1: I stack it with this, and I stack it with
1:09
Speaker 1: the next thing, you're probably thinking, yeah, that's gonna that's
1:13
Speaker 1: gonna make things happen. Right. So, and if you're like me,
1:20
Speaker 1: you kind of rent down that route years ago, or
1:23
Speaker 1: maybe you're going down that route right now, and you
1:25
Speaker 1: start realizing now that doesn't necessarily work. It doesn't necessarily
1:30
Speaker 1: necessarily add up to something that's going to fix an
1:33
Speaker 1: issue or fix a problem. It's a temporary satisfaction. Today
1:37
Speaker 1: in the morning, DEVO, we're gonna be in Hebrews, chapter
1:39
Speaker 1: number eleven, verse number twenty five. Like Man, we're gonna
1:42
Speaker 1: be in that scripture today. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,

1:59
Speaker 1: you're concerned about. God is concerned with every single detail
2:02
Speaker 1: that we're concerned about. Amen. So we have a God
2:06
Speaker 1: in heaven right, the Father who loves. We have the
2:09
Speaker 1: Son who saves, and we have Holy Spirit, who gods
2:12
Speaker 1: and man, we have three and one, and we serve
2:15
Speaker 1: one God, not three gods. And every single time I
2:19
Speaker 1: come up in a situation of my life, I can
2:21
Speaker 1: rely one hundred percent on the Holy, true, living, Righteous God. Amen.
2:28
Speaker 1: He's God that demonstrates his own love, demonstrates his word,
2:33
Speaker 1: demonstrates his faithfulness. Amen. His power, his grace, his mercy,
2:37
Speaker 1: his authority, all of it, We have it all in
2:41
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. Amen, seeking worldly things doesn't add up
2:45

3:58
Speaker 1: for our souls to be completely satisfied through your word,
4:02
Speaker 1: because of what you have done through the Lord Jesus Christ.
4:05
Speaker 1: I pray Lord God, that those including myself, who have
4:09
Speaker 1: any idea or bring up ideas of seeking temporary satisfaction,
4:15
Speaker 1: look God, that you would remind us that those temporal satisfaction,
4:20

5:04
Speaker 1: in Jesus Holy Name. Amen to that. Amen. So let's
5:07
Speaker 1: go for it. Help me share this out sixty seconds.
5:09
Speaker 1: After the sixty seconds, we'll come back and we'll get
5:11
Speaker 1: right into our scripture Hebrews eleven twenty five. I'll be
5:14
Speaker 1: right back. Man, We're back, We're back. Let's go for it. Man,
6:29
Speaker 1: Let's see what the Word of God has for you
6:31
Speaker 1: it has for me today. The word of God is
6:34
Speaker 1: relevant all the time. Every time you read the Word
6:36
Speaker 1: of God is always true. Every time you read the
6:38
Speaker 1: world of God is always relevant. Every time you read,
6:40
Speaker 1: the Word of God is always full of power. All
6:43
Speaker 1: we have to do our part to play when we're
6:46
Speaker 1: reading the Word of God. Our part is to apply
6:48
Speaker 1: the Word of God in our day to day so
6:51
Speaker 1: that way we can see if truly the Word of
6:53
Speaker 1: God works in your life and in my life. Ay Man,
6:56
Speaker 1: there's no mystery about the Word of God other than
7:00
Speaker 1: don't know how God does things certain times right. But
7:03
Speaker 1: his word is evident and it's plain. Amen. As a
7:06
Speaker 1: matter of fact, the Bible does say that he makes
7:08
Speaker 1: his word plain in our days. Amen. He's not speaking
7:12
Speaker 1: in riddles. He's not speaking in mysteries. He's speaking to
7:14
Speaker 1: us plainly by way of His Holy Spirit. So we
7:18
Speaker 1: have what we need. Amen, in the Word and the Bible.
7:22
Speaker 1: The book, Amen, doesn't contain the Word of God. The
7:26
Speaker 1: Bible is the Word of God. Amen. Is a difference
7:30
Speaker 1: between something that's in something and then something that is something.
7:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that again. There's a difference of something
7:37
Speaker 1: that's in something or something that is something. Amen. The
7:41
Speaker 1: Word of God is the Bible, not the Bible containing
7:45
Speaker 1: the Word of God. Sister Joanne, I see you going,
7:47
Speaker 1: and God bless you. Welcome back to the morning. Devo,
7:50
Speaker 1: my sister and my friend. Is good to see you
7:52
Speaker 1: with us. So let's go for it right here. Temporary satisfaction.
7:57
Speaker 1: Some people are looking for that. I'm looking for temporary
8:02
Speaker 1: satisfaction other than when I have a headache or a
8:04
Speaker 1: pain in my body. Amen. I pray first, and sometimes
8:08
Speaker 1: I have to take the meds right to pain relief meds.
8:11
Speaker 1: If you have a headache, you take pain relief medicine.
8:13
Speaker 1: But that's temporary. It's not really fixing the issue. It's
8:16
Speaker 1: a temporary relief, temporary satisfaction. And then we're gonna need
8:21
Speaker 1: further help and getting complete healing, complete satisfaction, complete right
8:30
Speaker 1: things in life that we need to get done. Amen,
8:33
Speaker 1: So let's see the word here over here in Hebrews
8:37
Speaker 1: eleven and twenty five, Bible says, because he preferred to
8:43
Speaker 1: endure the hardship of the people of God rather than
8:48
Speaker 1: to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. I'm gonna read
8:53
Speaker 1: that again. Because he preferred to endure the hardship of
8:58
Speaker 1: the people of God rather than to enjoy the passing
9:03
Speaker 1: see that passing pleasures of sin. The Lord Jesus wasn't
9:08
Speaker 1: concerned about passing pleasures a man. He was concerned about enduring.
9:14
Speaker 1: He was concerned about the mission that God gave him
9:18
Speaker 1: a man, the hardship of the people that he saw
9:21
Speaker 1: going through hardship. He was having me and you on
9:26
Speaker 1: his mind when he came to this planet Earth to
9:29
Speaker 1: complete a rescue mission. It wasn't half done. It's a
9:33
Speaker 1: complete work. It's a finished work of Jesus. Now, thank
9:39
Speaker 1: you Jesus that you just say I'm finished, and I'm
9:41
Speaker 1: done with everybody you said it is finished. It was
9:44
Speaker 1: the mission that God the Father sent the Son to
9:48
Speaker 1: complete and He completed that by way of the cross,
9:52
Speaker 1: died and rose again, then appeared to hundreds of people
9:57
Speaker 1: at the same time spoke to the disciples again with
10:00
Speaker 1: his resurrected body. He was bodily resurrected, not spiritually resurrected.
10:06
Speaker 1: And then he has sended before he as send it
10:08
Speaker 1: to the Father. He sent the promise to the disciples,
10:11
Speaker 1: wait for the coming Holy Spirit, ascend it to the
10:13
Speaker 1: right hand of the throne, and sent back the Holy Spirit,
10:16
Speaker 1: one who is just like Jesus, a man to be
10:19
Speaker 1: our comforter, our guide, our guard, a man, our reminder
10:23
Speaker 1: of his word and all of it. And we have
10:26
Speaker 1: the complete finished work living within every single one of us,
10:31
Speaker 1: who call ourselves born again believers. We are sons and
10:34
Speaker 1: daughters of the Living God, a living king, a man.
10:37
Speaker 1: So we have what we need because of what he did.
10:41
Speaker 1: He preferred to do this rather than enjoy passing pleasures
10:46
Speaker 1: of sin. And the Bible is clear that Jesus was
10:49
Speaker 1: tempted by every single temptation we were ever tempted with,
10:53
Speaker 1: and I think even more than that a man. Yet
10:56
Speaker 1: he did not go into this temporary satisfaction mode. He
11:00
Speaker 1: did not succumb to sin. He did not fall into
11:04
Speaker 1: any kind of sin. He was sinless, without spot or blame.
11:08
Speaker 1: A man, and he completed his work with medals of honor,
11:14
Speaker 1: A man with so much integrity, perfection. Jesus was the
11:20
Speaker 1: only perfect man that ever lived on this earth, a man,
11:23
Speaker 1: any perfect human out there that could say, yeah, I'm
11:27
Speaker 1: perfect too, a man. We're perfect in Christ, for sure,
11:30
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Scripture backs that up. But in the
11:33
Speaker 1: flesh we are imperfect beings being perfected. It's a working out.
11:39
Speaker 1: God's doing an inside job, and he's working that inside
11:44
Speaker 1: job out through every single one of us. So that
11:46
Speaker 1: way we could proclaim, we could declare, we could acknowledge
11:49
Speaker 1: who Jesus is in our lives. We could testify of
11:52
Speaker 1: the goodness of God and move forward in victory knowing
11:55
Speaker 1: that He's able to complete every single thing that we
11:59
Speaker 1: need to be complete. It amen in our lives, and
12:03
Speaker 1: that's an eternal completion, not a temporary completion. That's an
12:07
Speaker 1: eternal satisfaction, not a temporary satisfaction. Seeking temporary satisfaction in
12:16
Speaker 1: sin rather than lasting fulfillment in Christ. A lot of
12:19
Speaker 1: people are seeking the pleasures and pleasures verse pain right
12:25
Speaker 1: seems like a good idea. I don't want to be
12:27
Speaker 1: in pain. I want pleasure, but pleasure could turn into
12:31
Speaker 1: bad habitual sin pattern amen like just seeking out the pleasure.
12:38
Speaker 1: All you want is to feel nice, feel good right,
12:41
Speaker 1: get high, get drunk, forget issues, forget life, forget your pain,
12:47
Speaker 1: forget your problems. And that's very temporal. That's why if
12:50
Speaker 1: you notice people who are trying to forget their issues,
12:53
Speaker 1: people who are trying to forget life, people who are
12:56
Speaker 1: trying to just get this temporary satisfaction, you'll notice that
12:59
Speaker 1: they are always on the run for the next hit,
13:02
Speaker 1: for the next pleasure, for the next high, for the
13:05
Speaker 1: next bottle, for the next sexual encounter. Because they're always
13:10
Speaker 1: trying to fill a void that only God could fill.
13:14
Speaker 1: Is they're going for the temporal satisfaction, and they're forgetting
13:17
Speaker 1: that we have a God who's an eternal being who
13:20
Speaker 1: knows how to give us the eternal satisfaction, the one
13:24
Speaker 1: hundred and ten percent completion a man in our lives.
13:30
Speaker 1: I was on that roller coaster too, a man until
13:33
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, until I admitted to myself and
13:36
Speaker 1: admitted to God that I tried everything to try to
13:39
Speaker 1: satisfy my soul. I tried everything that the world offered,
13:43
Speaker 1: and I was unfortunately kind of good at most of
13:46
Speaker 1: the things that the world offered, right, but I noticed
13:49
Speaker 1: that it never satisfied me. It never completed the job
13:54
Speaker 1: and never gave me what I was looking for. A man,
13:58
Speaker 1: I was seeking satis faction, but I was doing it
14:01
Speaker 1: the way the world does it. And the way the
14:03
Speaker 1: world does it, you always have to be consuming something,
14:07
Speaker 1: listening to things that's trying to fill your mind, eating
14:11
Speaker 1: things that's trying to fill your stomach and feel your
14:13
Speaker 1: body right, watching things that are trying to fill your imagination.
14:18
Speaker 1: All of it was temporal fixes until Jesus met me
14:23
Speaker 1: where I was a man and completely satisfied me. And
14:27
Speaker 1: I knew I was completely satisfied. I felt dissatisfaction. I
14:31
Speaker 1: was awakened to satisfaction. I knew what I was looking for,
14:34
Speaker 1: that was more was found only through the Lord a man.
14:38
Speaker 1: And by the way, I didn't call on the name
14:40
Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus my testimony, I can't lie about it.
14:43
Speaker 1: I didn't say Jesus, come save me. I say God, God,
14:46
Speaker 1: which is technically not God's name. God is not technically
14:51
Speaker 1: God's name. So when people say, oh, my God, and
14:55
Speaker 1: somebody comes to stop using God's name in vain, God
14:59
Speaker 1: is not God's name. Technically, a man's name is Yahwe,
15:02
Speaker 1: his name is Eloheim, his name is Jesus, Yeshi waha much.
15:05
Speaker 1: His name is Adam, and I right, wonderful counsel, the
15:08
Speaker 1: Prince of peace, almighty. Amen. He is the great, I
15:12
Speaker 1: am great physician. He is the what did I say,
15:16
Speaker 1: el shade already? Amen. He is the God of heaven
15:21
Speaker 1: and earth. He has many names, many titles, and God
15:25
Speaker 1: is not one of them. God is the name I
15:28
Speaker 1: think the Germans gave to try to put a word
15:31
Speaker 1: there that would describe an ultimate being, a supreme other. Amen.
15:36
Speaker 1: And it was God the way humanly we could say
15:41
Speaker 1: about God. But as part of worldliness. Man seeking temporary
15:47
Speaker 1: satisfaction is part of his world system, his worldliness. And
15:51
Speaker 1: if we're not careful as Christians, as believers, we might
15:54
Speaker 1: start looking and acting just like the world system looks
15:57
Speaker 1: and acts right because we're not focused. We're not focused
16:02
Speaker 1: on the author and perfector of our faith, which is
16:06
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. As long as we have our eyes
16:09
Speaker 1: focused on the Lord, it'll be like you're seeing everything
16:12
Speaker 1: else around you. I know you see what I see
16:15
Speaker 1: in this world. Right, But when you're focused on the
16:18
Speaker 1: author and perfector of your faith and my faith, men,
16:21
Speaker 1: things look different. Right. You respond differently, you act differently,
16:26
Speaker 1: you move differently, you speak differently. Because we're focused on
16:29
Speaker 1: the one who is pure, the one who's pure light,
16:32
Speaker 1: the one who shows us the way. He is the truth, Amen.
16:36
Speaker 1: And he is the life. And he promises us eternal
16:38
Speaker 1: life and abundant life right now and an eternal life
16:42
Speaker 1: in the after. So what else? What else would you
16:46
Speaker 1: need for a complete satisfactory life. Amen, We are completely satisfied.
16:52
Speaker 1: I was so satisfied. Our spirit is willing, the flesh
16:55
Speaker 1: is weak according to the scriptures. Right, So we don't
16:57
Speaker 1: need any temporary fixes. We need goods. We need the
17:01
Speaker 1: goods that we have that we find in the Lord
17:03
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Amen. And he's the one who has everything
17:07
Speaker 1: that's good for us. So living as the world is
17:12
Speaker 1: living is a temporary IDEA living kingdom minded the way
17:18
Speaker 1: God wants us to live by way of Holy Spirit
17:20
Speaker 1: is an eternal situation, right, It's an eternal satisfaction is
17:26
Speaker 1: an eternal perspective is an eternal mindset. It's a Kingdom mindset.
17:32
Speaker 1: So I don't expect everybody to get what I'm saying
17:34
Speaker 1: right here, Amen, because this is a kingdom mindset. We're
17:37
Speaker 1: talking Kingdom principles right now. We're talking God principles right now,
17:41
Speaker 1: the ultimate God. I know people think that you know, Okay,
17:45
Speaker 1: that's your truth, and this is my truth and all
17:47
Speaker 1: there's only one truth, right, and the one truth is
17:50
Speaker 1: that a lie is a lie. Right, truth will never
17:55
Speaker 1: be a lie, A lie would never be the truth.
17:58
Speaker 1: The truth is always the truth, and a lie is
18:00
Speaker 1: always a lie. Right universal, wrong will never be right,
18:05
Speaker 1: right would never be wrong. Right will always be right,
18:07
Speaker 1: and wrong will always be wrong right. Light will never
18:11
Speaker 1: be dark, dark will never be light, Dark will always
18:14
Speaker 1: be dark, and light will always be light. These are truths.
18:17
Speaker 1: These are absolute truths. Amen. Life or death absolute. There's
18:24
Speaker 1: no like, oh, I'm gonna be beyond life or death.
18:29
Speaker 1: Jesus was beyond life or death. Amen. And then if
18:34
Speaker 1: Jesus conquered sin and death like the Bible describes, and
18:38
Speaker 1: I truly believe. And by the way, just because I
18:41
Speaker 1: believe something doesn't make it right, doesn't make it true.
18:45
Speaker 1: What God says has evidence behind it. Amen, you could
18:49
Speaker 1: actually know that God's word is true by applying his
18:53
Speaker 1: word in your life right now daily. That way people say, oh,
18:59
Speaker 1: you just wishing is to just wishful thinking. Don't apply
19:02
Speaker 1: it in your life and see what happens. Go to
19:05
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ accent to forgive you believe in
19:08
Speaker 1: his word. Confess Jesus as your personal Lord and savior,
19:11
Speaker 1: and testify everywhere you go, and see what happens in
19:13
Speaker 1: your life. You get to see like a lot of
19:15
Speaker 1: people are gonna get away from you because they're not
19:17
Speaker 1: gonna want what you have because it seems too easy
19:21
Speaker 1: to be true. And how could Sam or how could
19:23
Speaker 1: Joanne or how could anybody receive this God and receive
19:27
Speaker 1: this eternal life and be so full of joy and
19:29
Speaker 1: happiness and hope a man in love. And they're gonna
19:33
Speaker 1: be so afraid of it or so thrown back by
19:37
Speaker 1: it that we were picked a man, or that we
19:41
Speaker 1: are living differently, that a lot of people will abandon you.
19:44
Speaker 1: And they were like, you know what, I don't want
19:45
Speaker 1: no part of that religion nowhere, Very rarely, I want
19:50
Speaker 1: to say, maybe one and a half percent or two
19:52
Speaker 1: percent of these morning DeVos. I ever talk about religion,
19:57
Speaker 1: people automatically say, oh God, about God, Jesus, that's religion.
20:01
Speaker 1: Don't talk about I don't know, talk about the denomination, right,
20:05
Speaker 1: I don't talk about specific church. I don't talk about rituals.
20:09
Speaker 1: I don't talk about you know, just focus pocus type things.
20:13
Speaker 1: I'm just reading the scriptures, and the scriptures have the
20:17
Speaker 1: Word of truth, the word of eternal life, and people
20:20
Speaker 1: back up off of that and they call it religion
20:22
Speaker 1: because they're not giving themselves a chance to understand the
20:26
Speaker 1: Word of God. They're just going by whatever the world
20:29
Speaker 1: is saying, and they're actually repeating everything they're hearing from
20:32
Speaker 1: the world, and they're not repeating anything from the word. Right,
20:36
Speaker 1: it's today's word in today's world. A man, good morning, brother, Frank,
20:41
Speaker 1: I see you, good morning. God blessed you in your
20:43
Speaker 1: family as well, my friend and my bro. So this
20:46
Speaker 1: is interesting to me that Jesus wasn't concerned with temporal satisfaction.
20:54
Speaker 1: He wasn't concerned with the pleasures of sin. As as
20:57
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, it says the passing place measures
21:00
Speaker 1: of sin. The Bible knows and the Bible declares, and
21:03
Speaker 1: the Bible says that sin is pleasurable for a season.
21:07
Speaker 1: That season is temporary. The Bible doesn't say that sin
21:11
Speaker 1: is pleasurable for all eternity. The Bible doesn't say that.
21:14
Speaker 1: Now the Bible said that the sin was pleasurable for
21:16
Speaker 1: all eternity, then it wouldn't be sin, right, because then
21:20
Speaker 1: there will be no consequences because you will have to
21:23
Speaker 1: wait in eternity to receive the consequences. But because sin
21:26
Speaker 1: is pleasurable for a season, that means there's season that ends.
21:31
Speaker 1: Because of whatever sin that you're in or that I'm in,
21:34
Speaker 1: that will habitually in. When that thing ends, consequences will
21:39
Speaker 1: come with it. Amen, all of us know that this
21:42
Speaker 1: consequences for doing dark things, wrong things, evil things. There's
21:46
Speaker 1: always consequences. Some people right now, they're not experiencing the
21:51
Speaker 1: consequences yet because they're so wrapped up in their sin.
21:54
Speaker 1: They're so wrapped up in their darkness. They're having a
21:57
Speaker 1: great old time and they're experiencing the grace of God
22:02
Speaker 1: so much so that they say, you know what, God
22:05
Speaker 1: is gonna forgive me. I'm gonna just keep on doing
22:07
Speaker 1: this because I know that God's gonna forgive me. And
22:09
Speaker 1: when God forgives me, it will be done with it,
22:11
Speaker 1: and then then I'll get serious with God. A lot
22:15
Speaker 1: of people are thinking that, and they're really like in sin,
22:19
Speaker 1: going to church and sin being on church platforms and
22:24
Speaker 1: worship platforms in sin and thaw tree, all kinds of stuff,
22:28
Speaker 1: and they're up there and they're doing their thing because
22:30
Speaker 1: they're experiencing the grace of God. And how dare you
22:35
Speaker 1: ever try to judge me? Right, if you ever say something.
22:38
Speaker 1: But I have to remind my brothers and sisters, including
22:41
Speaker 1: myself all the time that when you walking into a
22:44
Speaker 1: house of God, Amen, the church is the people and
22:49
Speaker 1: the building is what contains the people of God. And
22:53
Speaker 1: then there's an illuminating light, the light of Christ and
22:55
Speaker 1: blazing out of every single one of us of His children.
22:59
Speaker 1: So when you walk in darkness, that darkness is easily
23:02
Speaker 1: seen because you're walking into a house of light. Right,
23:07
Speaker 1: So do not be deceived. The Bible says God is
23:10
Speaker 1: not mock. Whatever man souls, he will reap, and whatever
23:14
Speaker 1: he reaps he was. So man, I always say backwards O,
23:17
Speaker 1: but you get the message. So I can't hide my stuff,
23:21
Speaker 1: my darkness. You can't hide your darkness when you're walking
23:24
Speaker 1: into a house of light, a house of light, in
23:26
Speaker 1: the house of love. Amen. We are the temples of
23:31
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit of God. We are moving and around
23:36
Speaker 1: the earth. We are living epistols, living love letters for God.
23:39
Speaker 1: So when we walk around thinking that nobody sees our stuff,
23:44
Speaker 1: were actually wrong. And if nobody approaches me and says, sam,
23:47
Speaker 1: I noticed XYZ. Happens all the time when I'm downcast
23:51
Speaker 1: or when I'm in the wrong attitude, Heaven, somebody always
23:55
Speaker 1: approaches me because they love me. And also some of
23:58
Speaker 1: them approach me because they want to see me all right.
24:01
Speaker 1: They want to say, what are you doing? What is
24:02
Speaker 1: that all about? Right? Some people do it out of
24:05
Speaker 1: a pure heart. Some people do it out of spite
24:08
Speaker 1: because they want to see a man or a woman
24:11
Speaker 1: of God fall. So many people want to see Christians fail. Man,
24:14
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable because they're enticed by the spirit of this world,
24:18
Speaker 1: the spirit of this age, and they want to see
24:21
Speaker 1: Christians fail. But we don't fail. We fall and we
24:26
Speaker 1: get back up. And our failure we fail forward. We
24:29
Speaker 1: don't fail backwards. Amen, if that makes any sense. But
24:32
Speaker 1: amount of time. Hebrews chapter eleven. Read the whole chapter
24:35
Speaker 1: for yourself. We hung out converse them A twenty five
24:37
Speaker 1: I believe it was. And we've seen that Jesus wasn't
24:41
Speaker 1: considering passing pleasures of sin. He was considering the hardships
24:47
Speaker 1: of his people, and he endured for us because he
24:50
Speaker 1: loves us. Amen, and he loves you. It's the same.
24:54
Speaker 1: Good morning's, sister, Joyce. God bless you. Thank you for
24:57
Speaker 1: the blessings over the group amount of time, Amen, but
25:00
Speaker 1: thank you so much for hanging out with me. So
25:02
Speaker 1: God bless you all. God keep you all, and remember
25:05
Speaker 1: always that God is good. Peace.
