Sin is No Joke [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

0:03
Good morning, Good morning family, God, Welcome back to the Morning Devo.
0:06
If you Bro Sam Lopez aka DJ Sambrox, Soul Winners with a z
0:10
do or RG the cell Our Radio Network. Also podcasting on the platforms that
0:15
you could catch your favorite podcast on. Hopefully I'm on the favorite your favorite
0:21
platform that you listen to podcasts. If not, let me know and I'll
0:24
try my best to get on that platform as well. But of course on
0:28
all the major ones, Apple, Spotify, YouTube, Speaker, tune in,
0:36
you name it, We're there or Glory to God. Amen, So
0:39
welcome back to the Morning Devo. Another session. Listen, this one is
0:44
no joke and that's why I call it. Sin is no joke for real,
0:49
like for real, for real, Sin is no joke. You know,
0:54
seriously, man, Jesus took the sins of the world, the punished
1:00
upon himself to make a way for us to be cleansed from all unrighteousness and
1:07
wickedness. And also he paid the sin debt right the wages of sin is
1:15
what death and he paid that. And now he offers us eternal life through
1:19
him only through him, only through him only through the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:26
Can we get this salvation. Let me just check my audio. That sounds
1:30
okay, Amen, So it's real. I know you could debate about it
1:36
those for those who want to debate and say that's not true, you could
1:38
get ahead and say it's not true. Amen. That'll be an unfortunate thing
1:44
for you. If this is all true, then the wagees of sin is
1:49
death. But the gift of life, the gift of eternal life, right
1:53
is through God, through Christ Jesus. You choose sin is no joke.
2:00
Do you ever think that God deals with sin too harshly? Like I heard
2:07
people say, why would God punish a person eternally for a temporary thing,
2:13
temporary mistake of temporary sin? Amen? I guess that's a good question,
2:17
right. Why would God judge so harshly of a person that's doing this and
2:24
doing that and doing the third that's against his will? I think God is
2:30
too harsh when he judges sin. Well, guess who took the punishment for
2:35
all of it? And it was an oddly way of taking the punishment for
2:40
us all And then he didn't pass it on to someone else and say it's
2:46
your fault, so now you have to pay for it. No, he
2:50
took it upon himself. So the question is skewed. The question is weird,
2:54
right do you ever think that God deals with sin too harshly? Well,
3:00
if he does, who did he blame for it? And who took
3:04
care of the sin that Mohammad Buddha, Joseph Smith, mister Russell over there
3:13
with the Joel Witnesses, your favorite preacher, pastor, apostles, teacher,
3:17
prophet, evangelists. No Jesus himself took the punishment on himself. We're gonna
3:23
be in James chapter four, verses eight to ten. James, Chapter four,
3:28
verses eight to ten. Sin is no joke. And I know you
3:31
know that. I don't have to go on point at everybody and be like,
3:36
yo, you're doing this wrong, you're doing this wrong. Then look
3:38
in the mirror and say, Sam, you're doing We know wrong is wrong.
3:44
Wrong will never be right right. We know that, but right is
3:49
right. Right will never be wrong right. So we know these things.
3:55
Common sense tells us. Listen, if you steal somebody's from somebody's property,
4:01
there's going to be a consequence for that if you get caught. We have
4:06
an all seeing God. We might think we have you know, all planned
4:11
out. Oh, nobody's gonna know, and we forget. And this happens
4:15
with my young brothers and sisters in Christ. They think they forget that God
4:19
sees everything. And although we might not know what the younger are doing.
4:26
Amen, And they might have their own little crew of sinnership if that's a
4:33
word, sinnership, sinship, God sees it all. Thank God for his
4:38
grace, right and his mercy. So sin is no joke on the Morning
4:43

6:39
believe in you, I thank you for your grace and your mercy and your
6:42
patience, that you wish that none should perish but everyone have everlasting life.
6:48
Thank you, Lo God for being patient with me. Thank you, Lo
6:51
God for being patient with my family and for my friends, and for people
6:56
represented on the other side of the screen, on other side of this mic,
6:59
that you have patience with them as well. Thank you, Lo God
7:01
for what you've done and what you continue to do. And you rescue,
7:04
you continue to save, you continue to heal, you continue to just transform
7:12
lives and transform hearts. Thank you, Lo God for what you're doing.
7:15
I pray a head of protection over every single person in their mindset right now,
7:19
if they're contemplating lor God sin, or they're contemplating stealing or even killing,
7:28
or doing something that they know they should not be doing outside of your
7:30
will. I pray Lord God that you would give us back our conscience,
7:35
a God conscience, and you continue, Lo God to lead us by way
7:40
of your Holy Spirit. I pray forth angels to every single household, every
7:45
single place of work, every single school, every single place where people are
7:48
found that need you. Right now, I pray them forth by the authority
7:53
of the power of your name, Jesus the Christ, the Machik McGee,
7:57
the anointed One, the Alpha, and Omega hakkadash. I pray Lord got
8:03
fourth from your word to every single person that's willing to listen and willing to
8:07
obey in Jesus name. And we all say amen and amen, listen,
8:13
let's go for it. Shared us our sixty seconds, and when we come
8:16
back, we'll get right into today's morning DeVos send us no joke James,
8:20
chapter number four, verses eight to ten. I'll be right back. Amen.
9:35
Amen, we're back. Let's go for it. Let's see what the
9:37
word is for today. How we're going to read this and apply it into
9:41
our lives. That's the question, right, Not only knowing something, but
9:46
applying something into your life is so much more powerful than just reading a scripture
9:50
from the Bible. And it's saying, man, that's cool, that's nice,
9:54
and walking away from it and never applying it in your life. And
9:56
man, that's just like you're short changing. And I'm talking to myself too,
10:03
right, I want to apply this because I know if this is all
10:07
true, I'll say if, just out of respect for people who don't believe.
10:11
If this is all true, then it should work in your life right,
10:13
and it should work in my life in real time. It should be
10:18
relevant to what we're facing now. This god of the scriptures should be able
10:22
to respond to us his children. If he's our heavenly father and where his
10:28
children, he should be able to respond, react. He should be able
10:33
to save, rescue. He should be able to move freely through our hearts
10:37
and minds right, and he should be able to rebuke us. He should
10:45
be able to lead us back in the right direction. He should be able
10:50
to chastise us. He should be able to tell us, listen, you're
10:52
doing this wrong. If he's all having any father, why wouldn't we listen
10:56
to him? Hey, man, think about it. Send us no joke.
11:01
Sin is pleasurable. The Bible says, for a confused of why people
11:03
sin, I understand. I'm not confused of why my sinful nature tries to
11:09
come and be in front of God as an idol. I understand all of
11:13
that. I'm a human being just like you are. And if you're a
11:16
martian or from out of the planet some other planet. Welcome to the morning,
11:22
Devo, and Jesus is Lord over your planet too, just in case,
11:26
right, And if AI is trying to reformulate what I'm saying, I
11:31
pray that God will confuse your confuse your formulation and that you would actually respond
11:39
right with your artificial intelligence according to the scriptures. And that'll be a great
11:43
blessing in the Internet community as well. Right, So let's go for it.
11:48
Let me go and put this on the screen. For those who are
11:52
listening only, no problem. Although you're not seeing what we're seeing, you're
11:56
hearing the same thing I'm reading to the viewers as well. Sin is no
12:01
joke. And we know that. I know you know that. I'm telling
12:05
you this is no secret. People know that sin is no joke because a
12:11
lot of us have reaped the consequences of past sin, and some of us
12:18
are still living with those consequences. But because of God's grace and mercy,
12:22
a lot of people are full to believe that nothing is going to happen to
12:28
them. Oh look, God hasn't done anything, So I'm gonna keep on
12:31
doing what I'm doing. Nobody's gonna know. God is not doing anything.
12:35
As if God is like quick to anger, the Bible actually says opposite.
12:39
The Word of God says God is slow to anger. Right, but he
12:43
sees Amen and the scriptures of an old coming. And sometimes he took close
12:48
to three four hundred years before he did something about what people were doing.
12:54
So don't get it twisted. It's only amount of time when your sin is
12:58
gonna run out of fun, when your sin is gonna get the consequences your
13:03
sin deserves. And if you go about it unforgiven, and if you're not
13:07
forgiven for your sin, you're still dying in your sin. But for those
13:11
who went to the Lord Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness for their sin,
13:15
now we no longer are bound to sin. Now we are free from sin,
13:18
and now we can move because of the grace of God into victory.
13:22
And when that sin presents its ugly head again, we could actually look at
13:26
that sin and say, no, sin is no joke. James, Chapter
13:31
number four, verses eight to ten. Draw near to God. This is
13:35
it. God is telling us how we do this. Draw near to God,
13:39
and he will draw near to you. When you get up in the
13:43
morning, look in the mirror and ask God, draw yourself to me.
13:50
Please, as I'm drawing myself to you, cleanse your hands, you sinners,
13:56
and purify your hearts. You double my right. This is like straight,
14:03
This is like no joke. This is like right there, Amen,
14:07
this is for us today. Be wretched and mourn and weep. In other
14:13
words, realize that sin is no joke. Realize that you're doing something that
14:20
could possibly hurt your family, yourself, your relationship with God. So be
14:28
wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to morning. Why,
14:33
because sin is no joke. Let your laughter. Oh this is fun.
14:37
Nobody knows ha ha ha. You know, only if they knew.
14:39
And I'm up here ministering and this, that and the third and I'm a
14:43
preacher, and they don't know I'm doing this. And let your laughter be
14:46
turned to morning, and your joy to gloom, because false joy, if
14:52
it's not the joy of the Lord, then it's the joy of your sin,
14:54
and that's going to turn into doom and gloom for your life. Humble
14:58
yourselves before the Lord, and then this is the good news. He would
15:03
exalt you. He'd be like, Wow, that's all I had to do.
15:07
Yeah, that's all you had to do sin. It's no joke,
15:11
and it would take you far away from what God wants you to do.
15:15
It would take you far away to the relationship that you should have had with
15:18
God. Right, and it will get you numb to things that you're like,
15:22
Ah, I'm gonna just keep on doing it because everybody else in the
15:26
church, or everybody else in this Christian community, or everybody else in the
15:30
Evangelistic community, everybody else in the Evangelical American Christianity Churchianity stuff is doing.
15:37
So I'm going to do it too. You start getting numb to it.
15:41
But if you draw near to God, guess what God would draw near to
15:45
you, lend your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts. You
15:50
double minded? And the Bible talks about double minded people, right. That
15:54
scripture says, a double minded man, a man who's double minded will not
15:58
even be heard. I won't even hear the prayers with those people who are
16:02
double minded. Since the joys. Good morning, God, bless you,
16:04
Welcome back to the morning, Devo. It's good to see my sister and
16:08
my friends. So I know this is a big ouch for the morning,
16:11
right, But this is a love story. This is how God is showing
16:15
us that he loves us. He's not punishing us, right, He's for
16:18
us, not against us. He wants us to know that sin is no
16:22
joke. I know it's no joke. I know you. I'm telling you.
16:27
I know people know that sin is no joke. I know it.
16:32
Right. We might go around thinking that you know, it's okay, I
16:37
just did a little sin. That's like saying you're dying a little bit.
16:45
Sin equals death sometimes in a lot of situations. I say it a lot
16:49
because it's not all sadden leads to death. Paul said it, or one
16:52
of the apostles I think it was Paul said, not all sins lead to
16:56
death. So do you ever feel like the concert for sin and the way
17:00
God deals with sin is too harsh? You ever feel that way? Like,
17:04
man, why why would God punish a person for all eternity for sinning?
17:11
You ever thought about that? Now? Think about it? Is that
17:15
what God? Is? That? Really what God is doing when he's dealing
17:19
with sin, the sin in my life and the sin in your life?
17:22
Is that what He's really doing? Or is he trying to burn it out
17:26
of us or take it out of us? And cleanse us from it all.
17:30
And there was no one, no one that was qualified to pay the
17:33
sin, that no one that was able to pay the sin, that no
17:37
one who is pure and without sin, except himself. So he sent himself
17:42
in the form of a man named Jesus, to die on the cross for
17:47
me and for you. So out of all that who is dealing with sin
17:53
harshly? Is he putting us on the cross and saying, okay, is
17:57
your fault? Is your fault? Now you get up there in the cross
18:00
and you die from God. I don't know why people come up with that
18:04
question, because I don't know if they know God or the scriptures, because
18:08
if they did, they would be like, wait a minute, Jesus took
18:11
the sin upon himself, yet he did not sin, right, So what
18:17
do you think this reveals about our attitude towards sin? If when one of
18:22
those people has said, I think this is so harsh, Why is he
18:23
punishing me so harshly? Or why does God deal with this sin in my
18:27
life so harshly? Why can't I have my own sin and him God leave
18:32
me alone? You have that type of attitude towards sin, Your attitude towards
18:37
God and holiness. Then you just need a refresher course of who Jesus is
18:42
in the scriptures and in your life. You might be going to an organized
18:47
church for a very long time. You might be sinning in a peuse,
18:49
you might be getting good word and good teaching. You might be inspired by
18:53
Holy Spirit. And then you quench the Holy Spirit, and then you walk
18:59
away from what you know to be right and you do what is wrong because
19:02
the flesh wants you to do what's wrong, and the flesh kind of like
19:07
tricks you into believing that what you're doing is okay in the eyes of God
19:12
as long as you don't do it too often or too much. Because sin
19:18
is like a disease. A sin is like an addiction. Right, you
19:23
start doing certain sins and you realize, man, I can't get out of
19:27
this. I'll stop tomorrow, and you keep on doing it. You ever
19:32
saw a person who smokes cigarettes and then you say, oh, man,
19:37
you smoke. Oh yeah, I'm gonna give up. I'm gonna give it
19:38
up. This is my last pack. And then fifteen years later you'd be
19:41
like, hey, are you still smoking? Yeah, I tried giving it
19:44
up, but this is my last pack. Because they keep on doing the
19:48
same thing over and over and over and over again, trying to think that
19:51
they're gonna get different results. You know what that is, right, sister
19:55
Neilsen, God bless you. Good morning. Welcome to the morning, Devo.
19:57
It's good to see my system of friends. So in the Book of
20:02
Joshua, in chapter seven, it tells the story of Aichen, and people
20:06
call it fakin Aichen because Aichin was an Israelite who sinned against the Lord by
20:11
taking valuable items from the conquests of Jericho that God himself had commanded them to
20:18
put in his treasury. So he was like, nobody's looking, so I'm
20:25
gonna take this and I'm gonna hide it. When God olverady gave the commandment
20:29
to the Israelites to not do that, listen to this, the Israelites went
20:34
not to keep the devoted things for themselves, but Aiken took some plunder and
20:41
buried it under his tent. Right. He was thinking, it was like,
20:45
nobody's gonna know, nobody sees this. He forgot one thing God sees
20:49
all. As a result, the Lord was not with them when they fought
20:56
against Ai and thirty six Israelite warriors were killed, God revealed aching sin and
21:04
Israel stoned him and his entire family. Why did Ai can presume he could
21:11
hide disobedience from an all knowing God. Man, that's harsh, got killed.
21:18
And this is the argument that a lot of people say, how could
21:19
your good God do that to that family? Just because Aiken right hid something
21:26
under his tent, Now him and his whole family got wiped out. That's
21:30
very harsh, that's immoral. Did not God see people forget this? Didn't
21:37
God command him not to do that? Holy God has the best, best
21:44
best for us in his mind, he doesn't want us to die and sin,
21:48
so therefore he'll say, listen, I'm warning you now, don't do
21:51
this. Don't do that. So that way we keep it moving and we
21:55
won't have to deal with that. And then Aiken said, you know what,
21:59
nobody sees this. I'm gonna hide this under the tent right And because
22:03
of that, because there was sin in the tent, now God had to
22:07
deal with that sin or God dealt with that sin. And now it's too
22:11
harsh. Why is it when God plays God people get mad. But when
22:15
people say who lives and who dies? In the mother's womb and they say,
22:21
oh, this thing in my womb I'm going to not have. I'm
22:26
going to kill. So then when you play God, it's okay. But
22:30
when God says he's God and does what God wants to do and he takes
22:33
life, then it's wrong. You ever thought about that? Why is it
22:37
wrong? When God takes a life and purifies the land and does something about
22:45
sin? It's not okay for God to do that. But when a person
22:48
says I'm gonna do whatever I want to do, nobody could tell me nothing,
22:52
and I decide who lives and who dies in the mother's womb, and
22:56
that's okay about it? I mean, is this too harsh? Does I
23:03
thank God? I'm just personally gonna say thank God right now, openly and
23:07
say thank God for dealing with my sin. Thank you Lord for ruining my
23:12
sinful pleasures, for interrupting my sinful attitudes, for interrupting my sinful addiction.
23:22
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord for making a way out of it.
23:26
Thank you Lord for first comeingthance ten thirteen. No temptation has seized me accept
23:32
what is common to man, and God is faithful. He will not let
23:34
me be tempted beyond what I could bear. But when I am tempting,
23:37
he will provide a way of escape so I can stand strong under that.
23:41
He'd be like, Sam, why do you know that scripture? Because that's
23:45
who I was. That's that's what I kept on falling into sin and temptation.
23:49
So I said, God, what can I do to stay in the
23:53
narrow path and not to go back to my old ways? He gave me
23:57
first comnthan sin thirteen. Then he gave me what was it tewod Corinthians five
24:03
seventeen, I think was Corinthians five seventeen, right where it says that the
24:08
old man is dead behold on a new creation. Is that harsh that he
24:12
dealt with me in my temptation and punished this and cleansed me from that?
24:18
And I don't think that's so harsh, But that's me, Man, I
24:23
have a person in relationship with the Lord. So for those I guess who
24:29
are outside looking in, they'll look at it and be like, Yeah,
24:33
that's too harsh. That's in the moral God. I'm not going to follow
24:37
that God because that God kills people. Like I said, right, thank
24:44
you, Lord, Like I said, is God dealing with sin harshly.
24:48
Remember that's the question I didn't say, Is God dealing with you harshly?
24:52
The consequences of sin is death? And God dealt with that himself. Do
25:00
you everythink that God deals with sin too harshly? And I know as soon
25:03
as I said that, I know a lot of people were thinking, Yeah,
25:07
he deals with people like this and he killed you. See, we
25:08
were not talking about the people. God loves the people. He created us.
25:14
Amen, He created us in His image and the image of God.
25:18
I'm created and the image of God. You were created sin that's not of
25:22
God. All places all over the Old Covenant, especially where people say that
25:29
the God of the Old Covenant is different than the God of the New Covenant
25:32
because the God of the Old Covenant was harsh and he was killing people,
25:34
and then the God of the New Covenant he didn't respond. They forget respond
25:40
like harshly, he didn't judge, and he didn't wipe people out. He
25:42
didn't and they forget about the book I asks where that couple lied to the
25:48
Holy Spirit and they got dropped dead right there on the spot. Is that
25:52
harsh? Right? Is that too much? Does God deal with sin too
25:59
harshly because he wiped people out. Oh my spirit, your daughter, Tiana
26:03
Lee, God bless you prayer requests from my family please of course, a
26:07
man, keep Tiana and her family and your prayers for those who are prayer
26:14
warriors. As a matter of fact, we have sister Joyce. Sister Joyce,
26:17
can you connect with Tiana and ask her what the prayer request is for
26:21
Tiana's sister Joyce is a prayer warrior. She's an amazing woman of God.
26:25
She has a prayer team. They literally get she just got off of prayer
26:27
at five am and then she jumps on here and then they have another one
26:32
at nine pm. A man, they'll take your prayer requests to the Lord
26:36
and knock on the gates of heaven for your family. And I already prayed
26:41
for you, so you in good hands. So listen, I'm running out
26:45
of time here. God is good though. Go to act chapter five and
26:48
check out what happened to an Annis and his wife and how it all went
26:55
down right, and then judge for yourself, is that too harsh? The
26:59
God deal with that situation harshly at chapter five. But listen, amount of
27:03
time the main sculpture we have was James Chapter four. Read the whole chapter
27:07
for yourself today so you can get a good grasp of what we were talking
27:11
about. Amen. So I want to bless you all. Thank you for
27:15
coming through to these morning DeVos. Amen. It starts my day off in
27:18
the right path. Amen, at least for me. Thank you and thank
27:22
you for your morning devotion Amen. Amen. These morning devotions are from you
27:27
for me, for all of us well, just we need Jesus and we're
27:32
not afraid to admit it. Right. So God bless you all. God
27:36
keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace.
