- 1:48Speaker 1: How could you be authentic and imitation at the same time.
- 1:51Speaker 1: And the Lord started explaining to me what he wants
- 1:55Speaker 1: me to do with those two words. He wants us

- 2:06Speaker 1: that like kind of like exercise on Fridays. Amen. And

- 2:25Speaker 1: time you look at it again, you're like running and saying, well,

- 2:40Speaker 1: we're here for. Amen, and thank you so much. Please
- 2:43Speaker 1: help me out. I see a lot of people that

- 3:13Speaker 1: the notifications of all the new episodes. This is not
- 3:16Speaker 1: the only type of podcasts that I do. I do
- 3:18Speaker 1: music podcasts evidently obviously the DJ mixes, because I'm a
- 3:22Speaker 1: dj a man of some other things that we have coming,
- 3:25Speaker 1: and I want you to know about it. At least
- 3:27Speaker 1: know about it. You don't have to go if you
- 3:29Speaker 1: don't want, you don't have to listen, you don't have
- 3:31Speaker 1: to watch. But at least if you know about it,
- 3:33Speaker 1: you'll always have an option, and you'll have an option
- 3:36Speaker 1: to get into the Word of God with the Family
- 3:39Speaker 1: of God. Amen. Everyone's invited. Everyone's welcome. Amen. So I'm
- 3:43Speaker 1: not that type of personal You could go, but you can't. Not.
- 3:46Speaker 1: The Word of God is for everyone. Everyone doesn't believe
- 3:49Speaker 1: in the Word of God. That's obvious. Some people are
- 3:51Speaker 1: into spiritualism, some people are into other religions, some people
- 3:55Speaker 1: who are into themselves. Some people are atheists, some people
- 3:58Speaker 1: are like gnostics, some people are cynics, skeptics. Wherever you are,
- 4:02Speaker 1: the Word of God is still standing. That's an amazing thing, right,
- 4:05Speaker 1: It doesn't really, it doesn't really move God. Right, if
- 4:10Speaker 1: you don't believe in him, check that out. It doesn't
- 4:12Speaker 1: really move him. He knows who he is. I know
- 4:15Speaker 1: who I am, You know who you are. So God
- 4:18Speaker 1: has not moved. What He's moved by is when you,
- 4:20Speaker 1: when he sees faith in a person, and he could
- 4:23Speaker 1: work with that little mustard seed faith in your life
- 4:25Speaker 1: and in my life, and he could take that little
- 4:27Speaker 1: faith and move mountains on our behalf. Then you gonna
- 4:31Speaker 1: really believe that God is real. Amen. But you have
- 4:34Speaker 1: to test and see that God is good, taste and
- 4:37Speaker 1: see that the Lord is good. And then this world
- 4:39Speaker 1: and the way you're thinking and other religions won't won't,
- 4:42Speaker 1: won't be able to compare to God's grace and his
- 4:45Speaker 1: mercy and his glory, Amen, and his truth. So we're
- 4:49Speaker 1: gonna be on the truth again. We've been on the
- 4:51Speaker 1: truth telling series. Kind of truth is the only option
- 4:56Speaker 1: for a believer. Telling the truth is Christ's like the
- 5:00Speaker 1: only choice for the believer. We're gonna be in the
- 5:02Speaker 1: Ephesians chapter number four, verse twenty five and Phesians chapter
- 5:06Speaker 1: number four, verse twenty five on today's Authentic Imitationality session
- 5:11Speaker 1: on the morning devo. So you ready, let's go for it.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Let's pray first. After we pray, we'll shut this out
- 5:15Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds, and on the other side of
- 5:18Speaker 1: those sixty seconds, we'll come right back and we'll get
- 5:20Speaker 1: right into the scripture. Let me share a video on
- 5:24Speaker 1: my website. Amen, is all tech stuff. That My dream
- 5:28Speaker 1: is to have an engineer for a mobile site, a
- 5:32Speaker 1: mobile location that knows a little bit of tech that
- 5:36Speaker 1: can help me out on this side. Amen, that I wear.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I don't have to do everything myself, but it is
- 5:41Speaker 1: what it is for now. Amen. God is good, He's faithful.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I'm okay if I have to do this by myself
- 5:46Speaker 1: until Jesus comes back, I'm okay with that. Amen. I
- 5:49Speaker 1: just want to get this word out. Man, That's my passion.
- 5:52Speaker 1: All evangelists know what I'm talking about. Getting the Gospel
- 5:55Speaker 1: out is like priority. Amen. His last commandment is our
- 6:00Speaker 1: first priority. What was Jesus last commandment? Go and preach
- 6:07Speaker 1: the Gospel. Go and make disciples of all nations, and
- 6:11Speaker 1: baptize them in the name of the Father's Son and
- 6:13Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit. Amen, and disciple, Let's be
- 6:17Speaker 1: disciples of the Lord, and let's be imitators of God. So, Father,
- 6:20Speaker 1: I thank you so much for right now, for this moment.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Thank you for look God, for creating in me and
- 6:25Speaker 1: creating all those whosoevers who called upon the name of
- 6:29Speaker 1: the Lord. You have changed us, you have transformed our lives.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You have guarded us, guided us, protected us, preserved us
- 6:35Speaker 1: for this very moment. So we give you glory and honor,
- 6:38Speaker 1: worship and praise for that. I pray a hedge of
- 6:40Speaker 1: protection right now, physically, emotionally, spiritually over me, myself, my family,
- 6:46Speaker 1: our marriage, our children, our bloodlines on both sides, my side,
- 6:50Speaker 1: my wife's side, from the very youngest family member to
- 6:53Speaker 1: the very oldest, and everyone in between. The hedge of
- 6:55Speaker 1: God's protection over them Psalm ninety one. Over my very
- 6:59Speaker 1: own son, who's a fire, I pray that over his
- 7:01Speaker 1: life right now in Jesus' name. And I pray for
- 7:04Speaker 1: every single person that's connecting on the other side of
- 7:07Speaker 1: the screen, and on the other side of this might
- 7:09Speaker 1: somebody want the protection of God, the power of God,
- 7:12Speaker 1: the healing of God over your body physically, emotionally, and spiritually,
- 7:15Speaker 1: and the powerful name of Jesus as we start telling
- 7:20Speaker 1: the truth and help us stop lying. Lord Jesus, I
- 7:23Speaker 1: know your word says that God is the only truth
- 7:25Speaker 1: and every man is a liar, and I have to
- 7:28Speaker 1: agree with that. And God, you are so good that
- 7:30Speaker 1: you teach us that lying is not a good thing,
- 7:34Speaker 1: that lying is a sin. But you are the way,
- 7:37Speaker 1: the truth and the life, and we have you living
- 7:41Speaker 1: inside of us. Thank you, Lord God, by your holy spirit,
- 7:43Speaker 1: that we could start speaking truth on the day to
- 7:46Speaker 1: day and make that our supernat you a spiritual habit
- 7:49Speaker 1: to move forward from today. In Jesus Name, I pray
- 7:52Speaker 1: it's by faith, knowing that you give victory to those
- 7:55Speaker 1: who call upon your name and who pray to you
- 7:57Speaker 1: and your answer these prayers according to your purpose and
- 8:00Speaker 1: your plan for every individual situation, every individual life. By
- 8:05Speaker 1: the power of your grace and mercy and Jesus Name,
- 8:07Speaker 1: my prayer is by faith, and those who agree, we say,
- 8:09Speaker 1: amen and amen. Help me share this out. It take
- 8:12Speaker 1: sixty seconds. Share this out with me, and when we
- 8:15Speaker 1: come back, we'll get into Ephesians, chapter number four, verse
- 8:18Speaker 1: number twenty five.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Hey, man, Amen, we're here. We're here, a.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Lot of them sharing there. Man, on that sixty second slot,
- 9:52Speaker 1: you had sixty seconds left in your life and you
- 9:54Speaker 1: knew that the lawyer is coming back, and you got
- 9:56Speaker 1: inside word. And I know that's not biblical, but how
- 9:59Speaker 1: about if you had sixty seconds left and you knew
- 10:03Speaker 1: that it was about to be over, the King of
- 10:05Speaker 1: kings and the Lord of Lords is coming right, who
- 10:07Speaker 1: would you reach out to? That's why I put urgency
- 10:10Speaker 1: in the sixty seconds to share. I had always had
- 10:13Speaker 1: that in mind. So what would happen in the last
- 10:15Speaker 1: sixty seconds of my life? Who would I reach out
- 10:17Speaker 1: to a man to make sure that we will have
- 10:20Speaker 1: eternity together. If you love somebody, you want to tell
- 10:23Speaker 1: them the truth about who the Lord Jesus is, and
- 10:25Speaker 1: they have to decide. We can't convince. I see these
- 10:29Speaker 1: videos sometimes I'm a little feel a little bad for
- 10:34Speaker 1: these young evangelists that are going to places right of sin.
- 10:38Speaker 1: They're going to parades, they go into parties, they going
- 10:41Speaker 1: to the nightclubs, and they're preaching the gospel right and
- 10:45Speaker 1: they say that God called them to do that, preach
- 10:47Speaker 1: the gospel in those environments. And then when they get confronted,
- 10:50Speaker 1: they're filming it and then they're looking at the camera
- 10:53Speaker 1: talking about the getting persecuted for sharing the gospel. No,
- 10:55Speaker 1: you're not getting persecuted, you're just getting they're hating our Lord.
- 11:00Speaker 1: The Bible says that they hated Jesus first, and likewise
- 11:04Speaker 1: they would hate us with this gospel message. Now to
- 11:07Speaker 1: debate an unbeliever is really to me a little weird,
- 11:11Speaker 1: a little strange. They don't believe in our gospel. They
- 11:14Speaker 1: don't believe in our truth. They don't believe in our Jesus,
- 11:17Speaker 1: they don't believe in the God of heaven and earth
- 11:20Speaker 1: and man. So why you're arguing with them? Just preach
- 11:22Speaker 1: the gospel of love. And as a matter of fact,
- 11:25Speaker 1: you might want to stop the filming. People get agitated
- 11:28Speaker 1: they see the cameras rolling and you're trying to get views.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I guess whatever. So I'm a little lary with you, guys. Man,
- 11:36Speaker 1: I pray for all the evangelists that are out there
- 11:38Speaker 1: in the streets. I've done it before as well. They
- 11:40Speaker 1: I've been into the nightclubs, but not preaching the gospel.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I've been in the nightclubs. Listen to this idea, evangelists
- 11:46Speaker 1: out there. I went to nightclubs when I first got saved.
- 11:50Speaker 1: God gave me this idea. Go with a clipboard inside
- 11:53Speaker 1: the nightclub. They knew me anyway, The bouncers knew me anyway.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I was a club promoter and take prayer requests. You'll
- 11:59Speaker 1: be surprised how many people that's in those clubs. That
- 12:02Speaker 1: used to serve the Lord, and that some of them
- 12:04Speaker 1: will ex pastors, the pastor's kids. They was up in
- 12:07Speaker 1: that club drinking and tworking and all that stuff, and
- 12:11Speaker 1: I was like minding my own business, doing Kingdom business,
- 12:14Speaker 1: saying what can I pray for you for? They were
- 12:15Speaker 1: blown away. They were like, what you're in here in
- 12:18Speaker 1: our environment asking for a prayer request? Yeah, maybe that's
- 12:24Speaker 1: something that you nighttime avantgers could do. If you're in
- 12:27Speaker 1: the clubs in your area and the club districts, maybe
- 12:30Speaker 1: you could get gain access and listen. Put the camera away.
- 12:33Speaker 1: I know, I know we all want to be seen.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Not really, I don't want to be seen, but some
- 12:38Speaker 1: adveanngers want to be seen all the time doing the
- 12:40Speaker 1: works of God, so that way they collect their followers. Know,
- 12:43Speaker 1: look what I did, that's BottomLine something there. I'll just
- 12:47Speaker 1: be careful with that and pray for you guys regardless
- 12:50Speaker 1: and your girls regardless. Keep on preaching the gospel. That's
- 12:53Speaker 1: what we're commanded to do a man, and it's a
- 12:55Speaker 1: privilege to know the truth and to speak the truth
- 12:58Speaker 1: to others. Amen. The truth is the only option for
- 13:02Speaker 1: a believer. That's my belief I stand by that one
- 13:05Speaker 1: you send. The truth is the only option, amen, and
- 13:08Speaker 1: we follow the way to truth and the life. So
- 13:10Speaker 1: we're in good hands. Guy's not gonna let us out
- 13:12Speaker 1: there to dry out and to be humiliated. He has
- 13:16Speaker 1: the perfect plan for us, Amen, So let's get into it.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Authentic Commentationology episode number ninety ten. More Lord Willing, and
- 13:25Speaker 1: we'll be at one hundred. We got to do something, man,
- 13:28Speaker 1: we got to do something to celebrate. Truth is the
- 13:30Speaker 1: only option here. It is a Feajian Chapter four, verse
- 13:33Speaker 1: twenty five. I found this verse very interesting when I
- 13:37Speaker 1: looked at it for today's morning devo, because I was like, wait,
- 13:41Speaker 1: guy's playing with us. He's speaking through the apostle very plainly,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and the apostle Paul says, so stop telling lies. Then
- 13:51Speaker 1: walk up to somebody and tell them stop telling lies
- 13:54Speaker 1: and see what happens. They're not gonna be too kind
- 13:56Speaker 1: with you, amen. But the apostle Paul was like, look,
- 14:00Speaker 1: so stop tunnel lies. He's telling to the Christians. He's
- 14:02Speaker 1: talking to the Christians in Ephesus and saying, listen, stop
- 14:06Speaker 1: telling lies. So that means there was line going on
- 14:10Speaker 1: in the church. Who would have thought that in your church.
- 14:14Speaker 1: There's lies going on. My church, there's lies going on.
- 14:17Speaker 1: So who's going to stand up and be the one
- 14:20Speaker 1: like the apostles and say stop tunnel lies. Let us
- 14:24Speaker 1: tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts
- 14:30Speaker 1: parts see that of the same body. I don't want
- 14:36Speaker 1: to get around on unity in the Lehigh Valley with
- 14:39Speaker 1: the churches. Let me just say this, it's a no brainer.
- 14:47Speaker 1: So many churches where I'm broadcasting from in the Lehigh Valley,
- 14:51Speaker 1: we got together, you know, glory that the Leehah Valley
- 14:58Speaker 1: will experience lawyer of God if we got together. The
- 15:03Speaker 1: enemy has been doing an excellent job, unfortunately, of convincing
- 15:09Speaker 1: the leadership around the lehivality that we can't get with
- 15:11Speaker 1: this church, begin with that church, because because, because, because
- 15:15Speaker 1: the tremendous amount of excuses that the enemy has placed
- 15:18Speaker 1: in between the body and between the churches. I'm not
- 15:22Speaker 1: going to say the body, because the Body of Christ
- 15:24Speaker 1: is one a man saying the churches, the church, the
- 15:30Speaker 1: church buildings, the worship houses. If we got together and
- 15:35Speaker 1: we did events together, evangelism together, preaching together, worship together,
- 15:41Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this valley would be on fire with
- 15:46Speaker 1: the glory of God. But I know there's there many
- 15:50Speaker 1: people that have excuses here. But what about this and
- 15:52Speaker 1: what about that? The enemy has done a great job
- 15:55Speaker 1: of not allowing us to share the truth with one another,
- 16:00Speaker 1: with our neighbors, and he's allowed he's convinced a lot
- 16:05Speaker 1: of leaders in the valley to not be involved. Crazy.
- 16:10Speaker 1: The devil is a liar, that's the truth. The devil
- 16:13Speaker 1: is a liar. It's a Joanne. God bless you, good morning.
- 16:16Speaker 1: God bless you, apostle Felix Jose Cologne, God bless you,
- 16:19Speaker 1: good morning. It's goose to see you on the morning. Devo. Amen. Up.
- 16:23Speaker 1: That used to be something done many many years ago here,
- 16:27Speaker 1: back in the seventies and eighties. So in the seventies
- 16:29Speaker 1: and eighties that Lee have valley, according to doctor Felix
- 16:32Speaker 1: Jose Cologne, Apostle. Amen. He says, in the seventies and eighties,
- 16:37Speaker 1: when I was way out around here, Amen, I wasn't safe,
- 16:40Speaker 1: So I don't know about it. Thank you for sharing
- 16:42Speaker 1: that history many many years ago, seventies and eighties. That
- 16:47Speaker 1: used to be something done right that the church has
- 16:50Speaker 1: got together. Listen, So those were the days, right, But
- 16:55Speaker 1: these are the last days. Let's go for it. Amen.
- 16:59Speaker 1: I'll I'm pretty much misunderstood for what I do right
- 17:05Speaker 1: by a lot of different churches. But I do it
- 17:08Speaker 1: because I'm in hopes that one day I'll wake up
- 17:13Speaker 1: and I'll look at the events in the valley and
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'll see like fifty churches together, Amen, one hundred churches
- 17:21Speaker 1: together doing evangelism, doing street ministry, reaching out to the hurt,
- 17:28Speaker 1: to the widow, to the people who are out there
- 17:30Speaker 1: that are strung on on drugs and alcohol. You have
- 17:33Speaker 1: a whole army of Christ followers reaching them. What in
- 17:39Speaker 1: the world do you think would happen in Leeha Valley
- 17:42Speaker 1: if that will happen, Amen, I'm very encouraged that. I
- 17:46Speaker 1: know God's going to make that happen one day, and
- 17:48Speaker 1: it needs to be done again. We used to fill
- 17:51Speaker 1: the Allentown Stadium do great events, and we need to
- 17:54Speaker 1: go back to that again. Praise God. I was at
- 17:57Speaker 1: the Stadium of Liberty and Bethlehem at stadium at the
- 18:02Speaker 1: Good News Fest and it was I think that's the prequel.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I think that's coming back. I think it's coming back.
- 18:09Speaker 1: They were at least two thousands of the tenants. They said,
- 18:13Speaker 1: a lot of churches represented there. Amen, And it's a
- 18:16Speaker 1: beautiful thing to see the glory guy. And the people
- 18:19Speaker 1: are amazed. People walking up to me. What church put
- 18:22Speaker 1: this together? I was like, well, this church put it together.
- 18:25Speaker 1: But there's many churches out here serving Amen. And they
- 18:28Speaker 1: were like shocked. They were like, really, this is not
- 18:31Speaker 1: just one No, there was church, a lot of volunteers
- 18:34Speaker 1: from different churches. It's the beauty of God's body, Amen,
- 18:39Speaker 1: the body of Christ. I'm just saying I have some
- 18:43Speaker 1: more for you. Telling the complete truth is the only
- 18:45Speaker 1: choice for the believer. Psalms fifteen, verses one and two.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Listen closely. Psalms fifteen, verses one and two. Lord, who
- 18:54Speaker 1: may dwell in your sanctuary? That's a question. It's not like,
- 18:59Speaker 1: who do you think is that? Are going to say? No,
- 19:01Speaker 1: who may dwell in your sanctuary? That's a question by
- 19:04Speaker 1: the Psalmist. Listen to this. Who may live on your
- 19:07Speaker 1: holy hill? Another question? And there is the answer. He
- 19:13Speaker 1: whose walk is blameless, not perfect, blameless, And who does
- 19:18Speaker 1: what is righteous, who does what is right, who speaks
- 19:22Speaker 1: the truth from his heart? Now listen closely. If you're
- 19:29Speaker 1: born again, let me help you out because a lot
- 19:31Speaker 1: of people are still thinking that even though they're saved,
- 19:34Speaker 1: there's still the old person. That's a lie. The Word
- 19:38Speaker 1: of God says, we become new creations in Christ, new
- 19:41Speaker 1: creatures in Christ. And guess what is new in your
- 19:45Speaker 1: life and my life? Our hearts are new. Stop quoting
- 19:49Speaker 1: the scripture over yourself, because I've heard people do this
- 19:51Speaker 1: over and over again. I heard it preached that our
- 19:54Speaker 1: heart is wicked and full of deceit and everything else. Yeah,
- 19:58Speaker 1: it was wicked or Christ. And those who are outside
- 20:01Speaker 1: of the Kingdom of God, their hearts are like that.
- 20:05Speaker 1: But once Jesus saved my life, once Jesus saved your life,
- 20:08Speaker 1: he created a new heart in us, a heart of God.
- 20:12Speaker 1: But about the way we think. He created a new
- 20:15Speaker 1: way of thinking, the mind of Christ. But about our speech.
- 20:19Speaker 1: He's creating us a speech of truth. And no longer
- 20:22Speaker 1: will be cursing at each other. We'll be blessing each
- 20:25Speaker 1: other in Jesus' name. Know who you are. Identify as
- 20:29Speaker 1: a Christian, and once you identify as a Christian, you
- 20:32Speaker 1: walk as a Christian. Amen. Felix says, we are calling
- 20:38Speaker 1: into the Holy place. We are all calling into the
- 20:41Speaker 1: Holy place. If we are born again, Yes, coming from
- 20:44Speaker 1: the Holy Place, calling from the Holy Place. We're new,
- 20:47Speaker 1: we're born again, We're not okay, we're born once into sin.
- 20:53Speaker 1: I love it. I understand it. I like it when
- 20:57Speaker 1: I speak to people and they said, I was raising
- 20:59Speaker 1: the church. How long have you been saved, sister? Or
- 21:03Speaker 1: I've been raising the church. How long have you been saved? Brother?
- 21:06Speaker 1: I've been raising the church. So evidently, then don't understand
- 21:10Speaker 1: the question. I'm not saying if people go to church,
- 21:13Speaker 1: I'm saying, how long have you been born again? So
- 21:15Speaker 1: people sometimes they say, oh, I was since the wound,
- 21:19Speaker 1: I was in church. That's great, that's a blessing. Amen.
- 21:22Speaker 1: That's a great environment to be in. Right, But when
- 21:25Speaker 1: have you had your personal experience, your personal encounter with
- 21:29Speaker 1: the living God of heaven and earth, with the living
- 21:31Speaker 1: Lord of Lords and the King of kings for yourself,
- 21:35Speaker 1: when did you experience Jesus in your life? Truth is
- 21:40Speaker 1: the only option. You don't have to make up a story. Oh,
- 21:44Speaker 1: you know, I was raising the church, so I think
- 21:46Speaker 1: I was always saved. No, you wasn't always saved. The
- 21:48Speaker 1: Bible says whosoever calls on the name of the Lord
- 21:52Speaker 1: shall be saved if you confess with your mouth, believe
- 21:54Speaker 1: in your heart, Believe in your heart that Jesus rose
- 21:57Speaker 1: from the third day, that God rose Jesus third day.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Confess with your mouth that Jesus Lord, the Bible says,
- 22:03Speaker 1: and then you will be saved when you have that
- 22:05Speaker 1: personal encounter. Amen, You're gonna want to speak truth. You're
- 22:08Speaker 1: not gonna want to lie about your testimony. You're not
- 22:10Speaker 1: gonna want to be a false witness. You're not gonna
- 22:13Speaker 1: want to slander. You're not gonna want a gossip. You're
- 22:15Speaker 1: not gonna want to cheat on your neighbors with your
- 22:17Speaker 1: neighbor's wife or your neighbors. Have none of that. You're
- 22:19Speaker 1: gonna want to speak the truth in love, knowing that
- 22:22Speaker 1: it's because of God's grace and his mercy that you
- 22:25Speaker 1: and I are alive today. It's an exciting way to think,
- 22:29Speaker 1: an exciting way to live. A man truth telling, Yes,
- 22:32Speaker 1: it is challenging in this society because once you tell
- 22:34Speaker 1: somebody the truth about the Lord Man, sometimes they get mad,
- 22:38Speaker 1: they get upset. Why Because the Bible indicates that they're
- 22:41Speaker 1: not rejecting the message of the Gospel. They're rejecting the
- 22:45Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. They're not rejecting the messenger a man. We're
- 22:49Speaker 1: just the messengers. And we have angels that we could
- 22:51Speaker 1: dispatch as well on our behalf, because they listen to
- 22:56Speaker 1: what we call them to do, and we dispatch them
- 22:59Speaker 1: by the power and the throught of the Redeemer, the
- 23:02Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. And we send out of angels to places.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I've done it a thousand times. If I'm going to
- 23:08Speaker 1: minister somewhere, if I'm going to a place to evangelize
- 23:11Speaker 1: or witness, we dispatch angels to that place. Amen, so
- 23:15Speaker 1: that when we get there, Amen, we're flowing in the victory,
- 23:18Speaker 1: flowing in the protection. We're flowing in the love. We're
- 23:21Speaker 1: throwing in the power of God's and the anoint thing
- 23:23Speaker 1: of God. Power of God. If I say God's the
- 23:27Speaker 1: power of God want God, Amen, I'm mindful of what
- 23:30Speaker 1: I say. Truth is the only option, Amen, sunning the
- 23:34Speaker 1: complete truth. Why would you want to tell half the truth?
- 23:37Speaker 1: It's like preaching half the Gospel. Why would you want
- 23:40Speaker 1: to do that? I tell you why. I'll tell you why.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I know why. People do that. And they don't want
- 23:45Speaker 1: to face rejection. They don't want to go into debates
- 23:47Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't want to debate either. But amen,
- 23:51Speaker 1: but listen, it's gonna happen. People would say, oh no,
- 23:54Speaker 1: because Jesus is not God. He's the Son of God only.
- 23:57Speaker 1: And this that of third. The Bible says this. The
- 23:59Speaker 1: Bible says that we could rightly divide the word of God. Now,
- 24:03Speaker 1: be very careful and mindful that if somebody doesn't have
- 24:05Speaker 1: the spirit of God in them, they want to understand
- 24:08Speaker 1: the spiritual things that's written in the scriptures. So stop
- 24:12Speaker 1: arguing people who are unspirited, who are unsaved, don't argue.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Show love, show grace, show mercy. Amen, And if they
- 24:20Speaker 1: really want truth, they'll listen and they'll listen to what
- 24:24Speaker 1: you're saying. They'll listen to the word of God. They'll
- 24:26Speaker 1: read it from themselves. And if they want to have
- 24:29Speaker 1: the breakthrough and they want to meet the Lord from themselves,
- 24:32Speaker 1: they'll have that encounter. Amen. It's a heart issue. It's
- 24:36Speaker 1: not about what's in the brain. A lot of times
- 24:38Speaker 1: I've spoken to many intelligent people, many people who have
- 24:41Speaker 1: degrees and all that, and they reject the message of
- 24:45Speaker 1: the Gospel because they said there's not enough evidence they say,
- 24:48Speaker 1: there's not enough evidence, and my testimony don't matter. That
- 24:52Speaker 1: was just my experience. I'm emotional. They say, whatever, whatever
- 24:56Speaker 1: the case may be. So then you start loving on them.
- 24:58Speaker 1: They can deny the love you pray for them, they
- 25:00Speaker 1: can't stop your prayers. A man speak truth and love
- 25:04Speaker 1: to people who are being lied to. They've been lied
- 25:07Speaker 1: to all their life. The devil's a liar. This world's
- 25:10Speaker 1: system is broken and full of lies. Maybe their family
- 25:13Speaker 1: was full of lies and all that stuff. You don't
- 25:15Speaker 1: know what's going on in a person's heart, in a
- 25:17Speaker 1: person's life. So kindness and love goes longer way than
- 25:21Speaker 1: debating and winning an argument. Now here to win arguments,
- 25:24Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, we're here to win souls. And that's
- 25:27Speaker 1: why we call ourselves soul winners. Ink look us up,
- 25:31Speaker 1: so James one twenty six. I'll leave you with this one.
- 25:34Speaker 1: If anyone considers themselves religious and yet does not keep
- 25:39Speaker 1: a tight reiin on his tongue, he deceives himself and
- 25:43Speaker 1: his religion is worthless. If you don't watch what you
- 25:46Speaker 1: say according to what you believe and who you believe in,
- 25:49Speaker 1: and you start speaming out lies and try to preach
- 25:52Speaker 1: at the same time, It's not going to be evidence
- 25:55Speaker 1: enough for people to even see the fruit in your life,
- 25:58Speaker 1: so stop lying. Tell the truth is the only option
- 26:02Speaker 1: for believers. Hope you got something out of this today.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I hope you have an amazing weekend. Ephesian shot before
- 26:09Speaker 1: read that all for yourself today. Amen, and let the
- 26:12Speaker 1: light of Christ shine upon you. God bless you all,
- 26:15Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
