1:44
Speaker 1: So today's morning, Devo. I'm calling this access Egles agreement,
1:50
Speaker 1: Access Eagles agreement. Whatever you give access to, you give
1:57
Speaker 1: authority to. Think about it. So, whatever you like, if
2:02
Speaker 1: you leave your doors open of your car, your windows
2:05
Speaker 1: down all year round, and I don't care if you're
2:08
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills or if you're in a ghetto, you're
2:11
Speaker 1: inviting someone to have access to your vehicle without even
2:18
Speaker 1: breaking in. So you're giving authority to whoever has access
2:23
Speaker 1: to your vehicle without you being there. So whatever you
2:28
Speaker 1: give access to, you give authority to. We're gonna be
2:30
Speaker 1: in Proverbs. Check the number four, verse twenty three. Today
2:33
Speaker 1: in the morning, Devo, we have any questions, comments, concerns,
2:37
Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines. Please don't hesitate it,
2:40
Speaker 1: even on the live chat. That's what we're here for,
2:43
Speaker 1: right We're here to communicate, and we're here to be
2:46
Speaker 1: there from one another. So we're gonna pray first. After
2:49
Speaker 1: we pray, we shared us out for like sixty seconds,
2:52
Speaker 1: and then on the other side of those sixty seconds,
2:54
Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's morning. Devo Amen So fathering
2:58
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, I thank you so much for today,
3:01
Speaker 1: for waking us up without the alarm clock right or
3:04
Speaker 1: with the alarm clock. But ultimately we know is that
3:07
Speaker 1: your grace wakes us up for a new day. Thank you,
3:10
Speaker 1: Lord God for being the best and the awesome God
3:14
Speaker 1: that you are for us, in us and through us.
3:17
Speaker 1: I pray Lord God, a hedge of protection over myself,
3:20
Speaker 1: over my wife, over our family, over our children, over
3:23
Speaker 1: our grandchildren, of our family members, from the very youngest
3:27
Speaker 1: family member to the very oldest, and every single person
3:29
Speaker 1: in between. I pray a hedge of protection. I prayed
3:32
Speaker 1: the peace of God to cover us all. I've dispatched
3:36
Speaker 1: angels of God right now under the authority of the
3:39
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Yr sho ahamashiek to invade the darkness, destroy
3:44
Speaker 1: the darkness, and destroy the plans of the enemy over
3:47
Speaker 1: our lives. In Jesus Holy Name, I pray Lord God,
3:50
Speaker 1: that we would know how to deny access to those
3:54
Speaker 1: things that are trying to separate, divide, kill, destroy and steal.
4:00
Speaker 1: We come against those things, and the name of the
4:03
Speaker 1: Holy Ghosts and the name of Jesus and the name
4:05
Speaker 1: of the Father, we come against those things. Or we
4:08
Speaker 1: don't want to give access Lord to those things that
4:11
Speaker 1: are not supposed to be there. We only want to
4:13
Speaker 1: give access to you completely, to our hearts, to our minds,
4:19
Speaker 1: to our actions, and to our will. We want your purpose,
4:22
Speaker 1: we want your plan, we want your energy lood, and
4:25
Speaker 1: we want to focus on you because you're perfect. You
4:28
Speaker 1: are author and perfective of our faith. And we give
4:31
Speaker 1: you all the glory, our honor, worship and praise for
4:34
Speaker 1: it in advance. Thank you for your word and proverbs
4:36
Speaker 1: that we're going to look at today. And I pray
4:38
Speaker 1: that Holy Spirit will inspire us to take action of
4:41
Speaker 1: what we're learning today. And Jesus Holy Name, I pray
4:44
Speaker 1: it is by faith and all those who agree we say, Amen,
4:47
Speaker 1: Sue that Amen, help me share this out to as
4:49
Speaker 1: many people as possible. Sixty seconds. When we come back,
4:52
Speaker 1: We'll get right into today's morning Devo. I'll be right back,
6:09
Speaker 1: a man, We're back. Thank you so much for shining
6:12
Speaker 1: light into the darkness. When you share God's word, when
6:16
Speaker 1: you share ministries, when you share a purpose and plan
6:19
Speaker 1: of God to somebody else, you're actually shining light into
6:22
Speaker 1: someone else's darkness. And you don't have to say anything
6:25
Speaker 1: about it. Just be about it. Sometimes we just have
6:28
Speaker 1: to show up. We don't have to force anything in
6:31
Speaker 1: life when it comes to Christ. We just have to
6:33
Speaker 1: show up, be available to what God is doing a man,
6:36
Speaker 1: and God will take it from there. Amen. So let's
6:39
Speaker 1: go for it. Let me get this word on the
6:41
Speaker 1: screen for those who are just listening, no worries, no problems.
6:45
Speaker 1: I'm going to read a word for words. So that way,
6:46
Speaker 1: if you're just listening, maybe running, maybe exercise, and maybe
6:49
Speaker 1: a driving a man and you're on the network and
6:52
Speaker 1: you just pressing play, want to hear what's going on.
6:55
Speaker 1: No worries, no problem. I've been thinking about that as well,
6:59
Speaker 1: So I'm going to read this word for word. Amen.
7:02
Speaker 1: To be honest, I wish I would just do this
7:04
Speaker 1: audio because I love audio. I think audio is more
7:06
Speaker 1: powerful than video. That's just my humble opinion, because when
7:10
Speaker 1: you're hearing someone, when you're hearing the word, especially, it
7:14
Speaker 1: starts painting images in your mind. For me, I remember
7:17
Speaker 1: those images more through audio than when I actually see
7:21
Speaker 1: something in the video. Amen, access equals agreement. Let's go
7:25
Speaker 1: for it. Let me put this on the screen. Amen,
7:27
Speaker 1: access equals agreement. And we're going to see that in
7:32
Speaker 1: the Word of God today. In Proverbs Chatter number four,
7:36
Speaker 1: verse number twenty three, the Bible says, above all else,
7:41
Speaker 1: guard your hearts, for everything you do flows from it.
7:48
Speaker 1: For what from your heart? Because your heart is your
7:51
Speaker 1: your focal point of life, what's going on in your life? Right,
7:58
Speaker 1: So if you don't guard your heart, if you let
8:01
Speaker 1: everything have access to your heart, you're gonna be shaking,
8:05
Speaker 1: You're gonna be orderline. Let's see, you're got to be
8:10
Speaker 1: too giving of yourself and of your life. So every
8:14
Speaker 1: single person comes across you, and that's not really a
8:18
Speaker 1: healthy thing to do. Amen, think about it. If you're
8:22
Speaker 1: not all bad, if you're not guarding your heart and
8:28
Speaker 1: you're letting access to everybody, to your heart, your will,
8:32
Speaker 1: your emotions. Amen, you're giving people too much of yourself. Amen,
8:36
Speaker 1: to guard your heart above all else. The Bible says it. Amen,
8:40
Speaker 1: And I agree with the word. Sister Nil said, I
8:42
Speaker 1: see you, good morning, God, bless you, thank you for
8:44
Speaker 1: your blessings as well as good to see you, my system,
8:46
Speaker 1: my friend. So if the word says guard your heart
8:49
Speaker 1: above all else, Amen, there's a real, real, real importance
8:54
Speaker 1: in this right right, put on the Lord Jesus Christ
8:59
Speaker 1: in order for you to guard your heart. The Bible says,
9:03
Speaker 1: when you're walking with Jesus, Amen, you're putting on his
9:11
Speaker 1: righteous robe. You're putting on his mind, You're putting on
9:15
Speaker 1: the mindset of Jesus. This means that it's more than
9:19
Speaker 1: just believing in Jesus. It means clothing yourself with his character. Right.
9:26
Speaker 1: Some people are looking in at gifts and talents and
9:30
Speaker 1: forgetting about the character. Right. I'd rather have the character
9:34
Speaker 1: of God, Amen, above my gifts and talents. That way
9:40
Speaker 1: I could have the character of God guard my heart,
9:43
Speaker 1: use my gifts and talents for the glory of God,
9:45
Speaker 1: and keep it moving from there. So, when you have
9:48
Speaker 1: his power. You have his mindset. You wake up every
9:52
Speaker 1: day and you're like spiritually dressed. You have the mine
9:57
Speaker 1: of Christ. You have the righteous robe of God. Amen,
10:00
Speaker 1: and you're doing good. So when you put on Jesus,
10:02
Speaker 1: you're saying, today I walk in His righteousness, none of
10:05
Speaker 1: my ratchettness. You're walking in His righteousness. His thoughts are
10:11
Speaker 1: shaping your choices. Have you ever realize that when you're
10:15
Speaker 1: in Christ, you start thinking differently, you start choosing things differently,
10:18
Speaker 1: you start deciding differently. His Spirit leads your steps because
10:22
Speaker 1: we have Holy Spirit, the Righteous One, the Hope of Glory,
10:25
Speaker 1: living within you, within you and within me, leading us
10:29
Speaker 1: into all truth. So you're not trying to look holy, right,
10:32
Speaker 1: you are her holy. You're learning to live from His
10:36
Speaker 1: holiness perspective. Amen. I'm not trying to be holy. Trust me. Amen.
10:42
Speaker 1: If I was trying to be holy, you know I'll
10:45
Speaker 1: be doing too much. I have to just follow the
10:49
Speaker 1: lead of Holy Spirit. He leads us into all truth. Amen.
10:54
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he wants us to follow
10:56
Speaker 1: him in spirit and in truth. He wants us to
10:59
Speaker 1: worship Him in spirit and in truth. Feels not by
11:03
Speaker 1: how we feel about things. It's about the faith that
11:06
Speaker 1: we have in Him. So you can't put on Christ
11:09
Speaker 1: and still wear the old clothes that you have on
11:12
Speaker 1: the old garments of your old life. Lightning darkness can't
11:16
Speaker 1: share the same outfit. Lighting darkness don't dress the same.
11:20
Speaker 1: The lightning darkness doesn't have the new whatever on them.
11:24
Speaker 1: The old self walks in the old clothing. The new
11:28
Speaker 1: self walks in the new clothing of the Lord Jesus.
11:30
Speaker 1: So just don't make no, don't give no access to
11:35
Speaker 1: the old self. Amen. And I know it's not as
11:38
Speaker 1: easy as I'm saying it. We all battle the flesh, everybody.
11:43
Speaker 1: I don't care if you've been a Christian for fifty years,
11:45
Speaker 1: you're still fighting the flesh. But the good news about
11:49
Speaker 1: fighting the good fight of faith. We win as long
11:52
Speaker 1: as we put our faith and hope and trust in
11:55
Speaker 1: the one who already won, the one who wins all
11:58
Speaker 1: the time. The one who has the ultimate victory is
12:00
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. Amen. So victory begins the moment you
12:05
Speaker 1: stop preparing for defeat. So when you give an inch
12:09
Speaker 1: to the flesh, man, your flesh would take the whole
12:13
Speaker 1: entire space. Give an inch of your life to the enemy.
12:18
Speaker 1: The enemy would try to take more territory in your
12:22
Speaker 1: life and in my life. So we just guard our hearts. Literally.
12:27
Speaker 1: Somebody was telling a person that was in a debate.
12:30
Speaker 1: I was watching a debate and they were like, oh,
12:32
Speaker 1: you get to hide in Christ. You're not going to
12:35
Speaker 1: answer the question. The person was like, I've been hiding
12:37
Speaker 1: in Christ all through this debate because he's guarding his heart.
12:40
Speaker 1: He's relying on the Holy Spirit, and he's hiding in
12:43
Speaker 1: the Word of God. And then when we appear, Amen,
12:47
Speaker 1: whatever oozes out of us, out of our hiding space,
12:50
Speaker 1: out of our secret place with the Lord, what comes
12:53
Speaker 1: out is powerful because it's the word of God. Amen,
12:56
Speaker 1: it's not the flesh, it's not our own ideas. It's
12:59
Speaker 1: the Word of God working through you and working through me.
13:01
Speaker 1: If you're born again since the joint, I see you.
13:04
Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning
13:06
Speaker 1: deep with my sister, my friend. So, if you want freedom,
13:10
Speaker 1: right be free. If you want freedom, be free, because
13:18
Speaker 1: we know if you let your heart get accessed by
13:27
Speaker 1: every single thing in life, you're not going to be
13:30
Speaker 1: in freedom. You get actually be in bondage. The reason
13:33
Speaker 1: why I say it is because when you're free, the
13:36
Speaker 1: things that used to get access into your life no
13:40
Speaker 1: longer has access without your permission. You realize that we
13:44
Speaker 1: have to give permission to the things outside of God's
13:47
Speaker 1: will in our lives. You don't just get forced to
13:51
Speaker 1: do things that are apart from God's will and purpose
13:54
Speaker 1: for your life. We now have the power to say
13:57
Speaker 1: no to sin. We now have the power to decide
13:59
Speaker 1: right now, have the authority and power of Holy Spirit
14:03
Speaker 1: of God to lead us in the righteous path. But
14:06
Speaker 1: every time we let access to other things that are
14:08
Speaker 1: apart from the Lord, we're giving authority to those things
14:12
Speaker 1: because we're giving permission to those things. Amen. So know
14:15
Speaker 1: who you are in Christ, and know who Christ is
14:18
Speaker 1: in you. Amen. Sister Joan says, good morning. I have
14:22
Speaker 1: to go to see the chrest to have a fusion.
14:26
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna take me or not
14:30
Speaker 1: because I am not feeling too good. Amen. So we
14:32
Speaker 1: pray health to your body in Jesus name. Sister Joan,
14:36
Speaker 1: go into that hospital room knowing that God is with
14:39
Speaker 1: you as well. So we pray for you for your health, strength,
14:43
Speaker 1: and that you will be out of the hospital quicker
14:46
Speaker 1: than they would think in Jesus' name, Amen, keep on
14:49
Speaker 1: praying for Sister Joan family of God. She goes through
14:52
Speaker 1: a lot, but she's also standing a lot, and she's
14:55
Speaker 1: standing in her position in Christ. So whatever you give
14:58
Speaker 1: access to, you give. That's what I said earlier. So
15:01
Speaker 1: when you allow sin access, maybe through your eyes, through
15:05
Speaker 1: your ears, maybe through your emotions, you're giving those things,
15:09
Speaker 1: those type of sins, permissions to speak. You know what,
15:13
Speaker 1: it's too noisy already out there in the world. Right,
15:16
Speaker 1: Quiet that voice of sin, Quiet that voice of the
15:19
Speaker 1: old self. Tell that thing to shut up. Be quiet. Right,
15:24
Speaker 1: there's already enough noise out here. We don't have to
15:27
Speaker 1: be arguing with our own old self. Just don't have
15:32
Speaker 1: the conversation with your old self. Like, deny it, shut
15:36
Speaker 1: it up in Jesus' name. When you deny access, you
15:42
Speaker 1: silence its influence. When you block somebody on social media,
15:47
Speaker 1: you're silencing the influence. When you unfollow somebody who's always
15:52
Speaker 1: putting up ratcheous stuff or stuff that's not pleasing to God,
15:56
Speaker 1: when you unfollow, you're silencing the influence. So now you
16:02
Speaker 1: have authority more than what you think you have. Amen,
16:07
Speaker 1: we didn't have authority. Before Christ, we were just allowing
16:11
Speaker 1: everything to hold us down. We were giving access to
16:14
Speaker 1: all kinds of sin, sickness, disease, everything had access to
16:18
Speaker 1: us because we had no authority. We didn't know who
16:20
Speaker 1: we were in Christ, we didn't have an identity. We
16:23
Speaker 1: were just going with the flow, right, and my wife
16:26
Speaker 1: is going, we're shutting down the voices that are trying
16:31
Speaker 1: to distract us, that are trying to divide us, that's
16:34
Speaker 1: trying to discourage us, that's trying to tempt us, that's
16:37
Speaker 1: trying to cause us to sin and stay in the
16:39
Speaker 1: bondage of sin. We're free, So we're free. We're free. Indeed,
16:42
Speaker 1: we walk with different mindset. Our fire is a holy
16:48
Speaker 1: white fire. It's not a strange fire. Our fire is
16:51
Speaker 1: holy white and we move forward accordingly in love for
16:55
Speaker 1: God and love from one another. Thank you Baby for us,
16:58
Speaker 1: because that's what we got to do. Voices above all else.
17:01
Speaker 1: Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
17:04
Speaker 1: So if sin can't answer your heart, think about it.
17:07
Speaker 1: If sin can get in it can't control whatever you
17:12
Speaker 1: lie access to, you give authority to. But if you
17:18
Speaker 1: tell the thing or whatever it is, you can't come here.
17:20
Speaker 1: You can't get in here, then it can't control your life.
17:25
Speaker 1: The only one that should be controlling our life is
17:28
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. None another person, not an alcohol, beverage, not
17:37
Speaker 1: sexual sin, morality, drugs, addictions. None of that should be
17:43
Speaker 1: controlling our lives. And I notice a lot of people
17:46
Speaker 1: addicted to certain things that has a certain controlling their lives.
17:50
Speaker 1: But they know Christ. So it's a fight, a man.
17:53
Speaker 1: That's why we have to come along one another and
17:55
Speaker 1: pray for one another. Because it's a fight, it's a battle.
17:58
Speaker 1: And en it means it's just not going to walk
17:59
Speaker 1: away and say, oh man, they're Christians now, So let
18:02
Speaker 1: me not throw anything their way, let me not distract them,
18:05
Speaker 1: let me not try to divide them, let me not
18:07
Speaker 1: try to kill, steal and destroy. His job is to kill,
18:09
Speaker 1: still and destroyer. But God's grace, mercy, power, authority is
18:15
Speaker 1: over that. Amen. So when I'm in a battle and
18:20
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not thinking right, I run to the Lord. Right.
18:24
Speaker 1: People might say, oh, that's just a crutch, Well you
18:26
Speaker 1: could do it on your own, you could get him
18:28
Speaker 1: and do this stuff on the own. I'm gonna go.
18:30
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the Lord who has the strength,
18:33
Speaker 1: the authority, the power, the will, the purpose, the plan
18:36
Speaker 1: for my life. Amen. He has the grace, he has
18:39
Speaker 1: the mercy. He's el Roy, the God who sees all things. Amen.
18:44
Speaker 1: He's omnipresent, He's omniscient. Amen. He's adel and I Almighty's
18:50
Speaker 1: He's Jehovah Shama, the God who is there in your situation,
18:53
Speaker 1: the God who is here in my situation. I'm gonna
18:55
Speaker 1: run to him. The enemy is a liar, and he
18:58
Speaker 1: keeps on shooting darts in our direction. That's why we
19:02
Speaker 1: don't have the armor of God. One of those fiery
19:05
Speaker 1: darts is gonna hit. But if we have the armor
19:07
Speaker 1: of God daily, Amen, it's gonna be harder and harder
19:11
Speaker 1: and harder. We're gonna be moving targets hard to hit,
19:15
Speaker 1: and the enemy is gonna be distracted. He's gonna be frustrated,
19:18
Speaker 1: not us, Amen, because he's not gonna be able to
19:21
Speaker 1: get us. Rebuke the darkness and walk in the Lord's
19:24
Speaker 1: glorious light. Yes. Yes, And when you rebuke anything, make
19:28
Speaker 1: sure you rebuke whatever you're rebuking in the name of Jesus,
19:32
Speaker 1: because he has the authority to wipe these things clean,
19:35
Speaker 1: wipe these things out of our way. If I come
19:37
Speaker 1: in the name of Sam, and the name of Sam,
19:39
Speaker 1: I rebuke you devil that that was just looking at me, like, so,
19:41
Speaker 1: what are you telling me? It's not gonna be the
19:44
Speaker 1: demon's gonna be looking in the name of who you know?
19:48
Speaker 1: I know these people, but who are you? Right? But
19:52
Speaker 1: when I come in the name of Jesus, they'll be like, oh, oh,
19:55
Speaker 1: this child of God knows who he is or know
19:59
Speaker 1: who she is, So I better get out of here.
20:02
Speaker 1: Your shere Jesus and demons tremble just at the name.
20:06
Speaker 1: That's why I always tell people you don't have to
20:08
Speaker 1: force this. You don't have to do too much. Show
20:10
Speaker 1: up and the power that God has given your show
20:13
Speaker 1: up and the authority that God has given you. Amen,
20:16
Speaker 1: guard your heart right. Quiet the voices that are trying
20:20
Speaker 1: to distract you the old self. Don't trust the old self.
20:24
Speaker 1: The old self just wants you to do old things.
20:27
Speaker 1: You notice that when you fall, some people say they
20:30
Speaker 1: fall into sin. When you fall into sin, you notice
20:34
Speaker 1: that is because you're looking back at some old things
20:37
Speaker 1: that you're left behind. And now you're going through an
20:40
Speaker 1: old alleyway, an old community, an old neighborhood and those
20:46
Speaker 1: old places where you used to thrive at sin, you
20:50
Speaker 1: find yourself sitting again because you're looking back. I've never
20:53
Speaker 1: heard of a testimony of somebody who is facing forward,
20:56
Speaker 1: doing God's things and moving forward and sitting at the
20:59
Speaker 1: same same time. When you move forward in Christ, you're
21:02
Speaker 1: moving in victory. But when you stop and you turn
21:04
Speaker 1: around and say, wow, I remember X y Z. Let
21:07
Speaker 1: me go back. Once you go back and pick up
21:10
Speaker 1: the old things, then the old self is like, yes,
21:13
Speaker 1: now I could do something to satisfy the flesh. We're
21:17
Speaker 1: not trying to satisfy the flesh. We're trying to build
21:19
Speaker 1: the spirit. Right, We're not trying to feed the flesh.
21:21
Speaker 1: We're trying to feed our spirit. So one thing is
21:24
Speaker 1: always going to come over another thing, and hopefully we
21:28
Speaker 1: could fight the good fight of faith together. We can't
21:29
Speaker 1: do this alone. That's why prayer is powerful. That's why
21:32
Speaker 1: a community is powerful. That's why being in a family
21:36
Speaker 1: a God is powerful and one of DeVos are powerful.
21:39
Speaker 1: A man getting into the Word of God for yourself
21:41
Speaker 1: is powerful. Making sure you separate time in your day
21:45
Speaker 1: every day to bring the Word of God into your situation,
21:48
Speaker 1: into your equation and not only know the word, and
21:52
Speaker 1: not only read the word, but apply the word to
21:54
Speaker 1: see how the Word of God will stand up to
21:58
Speaker 1: the test of time in your life time right, So
22:03
Speaker 1: above all else Proverbs for twenty three. Guard your heart
22:06
Speaker 1: for everything you do flows from it. I don't know,
22:10
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of words that
22:14
Speaker 1: are final in here right above all else. That means
22:17
Speaker 1: most importantly, guard your heart for everything, not just a
22:21
Speaker 1: couple of things. The word doesn't say, you know, just
22:23
Speaker 1: a couple of things flows from your heart. It says
22:27
Speaker 1: everything you do flows from your heart. So if sin
22:32
Speaker 1: can get in, right, sin cannot control your life. If
22:38
Speaker 1: depression can get in, depression can't control your life. If
22:41
Speaker 1: anxiety can't get in, anxiety can't control your life. Right.
22:45
Speaker 1: This is an amazing and amazing word for us to
22:50
Speaker 1: live by. It's the wisdom of God. Proverbs right, So
22:54
Speaker 1: live in it. Access equals agreement because whatever you give
22:57
Speaker 1: access to, you give authority to. So this is amazing. Amen.
23:04
Speaker 1: Every time I read the word, I get some more downloads.
23:06
Speaker 1: But I'm not here to preach. I'm here to actually
23:09
Speaker 1: devote some time to the Word of God and we'll
23:12
Speaker 1: joined together. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns
23:15
Speaker 1: anytime during this morning Devo, go ahead and ask them
23:19
Speaker 1: and put them on a live chat from whatever platform
23:21
Speaker 1: you're listening or watching from. Because you let me preach,
23:25
Speaker 1: Amenuse I'm getting a whole bunch of stuff right now.
23:28
Speaker 1: But because of time and because of being disciplined, Amen,
23:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep reading my notes. So when you give
23:36
Speaker 1: the flesh and itche like I said earlier, what happens
23:40
Speaker 1: The flesh starts acting like it's controlling you. I say acting,
23:45
Speaker 1: because we're not controlled by the flesh anymore. We're actually
23:48
Speaker 1: free from the bondage of the flesh. The flesh has
23:52
Speaker 1: its own thing going on, haven't you notice? You could
23:56
Speaker 1: be at a church service, you could be an a
23:58
Speaker 1: praising worship concert, or you could be just doing great,
24:03
Speaker 1: great things for the Lord. And then the flesh continues
24:06
Speaker 1: to try to speak, continues to try to reinvent himself
24:11
Speaker 1: or herself. The flesh is always trying to do its
24:14
Speaker 1: own thing, and the flesh is opposed at war of this,
24:18
Speaker 1: the flesh and the spirit our war until Jesus cracks
24:21
Speaker 1: open the sky and brings us back and Jesus didn't
24:24
Speaker 1: come to save our flesh. He came to save our soul.
24:27
Speaker 1: Jesus is the ultimate soul winner, not the flesh winner.
24:30
Speaker 1: A man, this is the velvet. I see you, good morning, God,
24:33
Speaker 1: bless you. It's good to see you in the morning.
24:34
Speaker 1: Devote my system and my friend. So let's not agree
24:38
Speaker 1: with our old self. Let's not give access to our
24:40
Speaker 1: old self. This is a day by day's situation. If
24:44
Speaker 1: I asked everybody on here, hey, when's the last time
24:48
Speaker 1: you fought the flesh? Everybody on here should be like
24:51
Speaker 1: two seconds ago, a minute, or a day ago today.
24:55
Speaker 1: Like we know as believers that we don't get a
24:59
Speaker 1: free past of just every day it's the greatest day. No,
25:03
Speaker 1: But we know we have the Holy Spirit living inside
25:06
Speaker 1: of us, Holy Spirit, God living in us, a man
25:09
Speaker 1: leading us. If Holy Spirit is leading us, that means
25:11
Speaker 1: he wants to take us to somewhere else. The flesh
25:14
Speaker 1: wants us to go backwards. The flesh is always wanting
25:18
Speaker 1: to trying to make us take two steps back, trying
25:22
Speaker 1: to make us think about other things other than what
25:25
Speaker 1: Christ wants us to do. Haven't you noticed that? Amen?
25:29
Speaker 1: And this triggers my triggers. I'm not going to tell
25:33
Speaker 1: you what they are, but I have triggers. Certain areas,
25:35
Speaker 1: certain places, certain thoughts will trigger me to pay attention
25:41
Speaker 1: more to the old person. Amen. And you know what
25:44
Speaker 1: your triggers are too. So what we do is we
25:47
Speaker 1: speak those things out of us, like we don't entertain
25:52
Speaker 1: things that we know is going to lead us back
25:55
Speaker 1: to an old situation. Old group of people are old
26:00
Speaker 1: sinfle habit. No, what we're gonna do is, once we
26:04
Speaker 1: recognize the trigger, we're to take that trigger to the
26:06
Speaker 1: Lord and ask God for help. And man, we're not
26:10
Speaker 1: alone in this. We don't lose all the time. Sometimes
26:13
Speaker 1: we do lose some battles, but we go to the
26:16
Speaker 1: one who's one hundred percent victorious. If you look at
26:20
Speaker 1: Jesus' record a man, if he was a prize fighter,
26:23
Speaker 1: he is a man. You see his win column, you
26:27
Speaker 1: see billions of winds, and when you look at his
26:30
Speaker 1: lost column, it's always gonna be zero. He never loses,
26:33
Speaker 1: and there's no draws. He doesn't have a match with
26:36
Speaker 1: the enemy or a match with any demonic force and say,
26:41
Speaker 1: oh it was a split decision, it was a draw. No,
26:44
Speaker 1: And Jesus wins all the time, so if he's in
26:47
Speaker 1: you and he's in me, we win a man ultimately.
26:50
Speaker 1: But in this life we're applying what we know to
26:54
Speaker 1: be true in real time. So sometimes we lose battles
26:58
Speaker 1: because we're not listening properly to the Lord, or we're
27:00
Speaker 1: allowing access to things that go into our heart. And
27:04
Speaker 1: then whatever goes into our heart that we allow there
27:06
Speaker 1: amen as authority. So let's take authority back in the
27:10
Speaker 1: name of Jesus, guard our hearts. Proverbs, chapter number four,
27:13
Speaker 1: Verse number twenty three. But I suggest you read the
27:16
Speaker 1: whole chapter of Proverbs chapter four together, all in context.
27:19
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hanging out with me. I'm
27:20
Speaker 1: out of time. God bless you all. Got to keep
27:23
Speaker 1: you all and remember always that God is good. Peace,
