0:10
Speaker 1: in the morning. Here in the morning Devo so Win

Speaker 1: is with a z RG sell our Radio Network, the
0:15
Speaker 1: Lehah Valley's number one urban gospel music station online since
0:19
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, and we're still here. All glory
0:22
Speaker 1: to God. He's the sustainer, He's the promise keeper. He's
0:27
Speaker 1: the ultimate, uber, awesome God that holds tight to his word,
0:32
Speaker 1: that fulfills his word. Everything that God says over your
0:36
Speaker 1: life and over my life will come to pass. We
0:39
Speaker 1: just have to learn how to get out of the
0:40
Speaker 1: way and continue to submit to God. Resist the devil,
0:44
Speaker 1: and the devil will flee, and the plans of God
0:46
Speaker 1: will move forward of victorious ways, in victorious ways. Every
0:51
Speaker 1: time we call upon His name, and every time we
0:53
Speaker 1: will remember that we are His. Amen. Today we're talking
0:57
Speaker 1: about this word to serve, gifts to serve. We are
1:04
Speaker 1: gifted to be a service to others. Amen. We don't
1:08
Speaker 1: just have gifts because we have them and we hoard
1:11
Speaker 1: them or we give them to the world. No, we
1:15
Speaker 1: use it for the Kingdom of God, for the purpose
1:17
Speaker 1: of God, for the plans of God, for the promises
1:19
Speaker 1: of God, for others that they can see the power,
1:21
Speaker 1: the love, the grace, the mercy, just everything that God
1:26
Speaker 1: has for you and me. He will complete this work
1:29
Speaker 1: in our hearts and our minds. God himself has equipped
1:33
Speaker 1: each believer, each believer with spiritual gifts to serve and
1:39
Speaker 1: build up the Body of Christ. Not to build the
1:43
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God, because the Kingdom of God's already built.
1:45
Speaker 1: No human hands can build that. Not to build the
1:48
Speaker 1: Church that's with human hands. I'm not about to build
1:51
Speaker 1: the Body of Christ. To expand the Gospel message to
1:55
Speaker 1: the entire world from starting from your circle of influence,
1:59
Speaker 1: starting from your immediate family, starting from your immediate circles,
2:02
Speaker 1: starting from your community, your city, your town, your state,
2:06
Speaker 1: your nation. Amen, we could do this because we're gifted
2:10
Speaker 1: to do this. We have a guy who laviages his
2:13
Speaker 1: children with gifts, gifts to serve. First Corinthians, Chapter number twelve,
2:18
Speaker 1: verses four and seven. First Corinthians, Chapter number twelve, verses
2:23

Speaker 1: had someone sent them music submission and they never knew
3:21
Speaker 1: that there was something like this, and then le have Valley. Amen.
3:24
Speaker 1: And I've been doing this in two thousand and eight,
3:26

Speaker 1: But with your help we can reach more and more listeners,
3:33
Speaker 1: reach more and more souls, reach more and more ears

5:00
Speaker 1: those sixty seconds when we come back, I'm gonna try
5:03
Speaker 1: to share it to the groups as quickly as possible.
5:05
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll get right into our scripture
5:08
Speaker 1: for today, which is what verse Corinthians, chapter number twelve,
5:12
Speaker 1: Verses four and seven. Let's pray, Father, thank you, thank
5:17
Speaker 1: you so much for waking us up. Thank you, Lo
5:19
Speaker 1: God that you have traveled mains zines of miles to
5:24
Speaker 1: rescue the one other than the ninety nine. Thank you,
5:27
Speaker 1: Lord God for your love, your grace, your mercy. Thank you,
5:29
Speaker 1: lod God for your your promises. Thank you, Lord God
5:33
Speaker 1: forgifting us with spiritual gifts that we can share. It
5:36
Speaker 1: doesn't cost us anything to share the spiritual gift that
5:39
Speaker 1: you have given us. Thank you, Lo God for giving
5:41
Speaker 1: us wisdom, understanding, fulfilling us, of filling us with your spirits,
5:45
Speaker 1: fulfilling your promises over our lives and your prophecies over
5:48
Speaker 1: our lives. I pray, Lord God, that we will be
5:51
Speaker 1: reminded a way of your Holy Spirit through your word,
5:53
Speaker 1: that we are the gifts that you have sent to
5:56
Speaker 1: this world, that we are the light and assault of
5:58
Speaker 1: this earth. That we have the eternal Word, that we
6:01
Speaker 1: can speak to others full of grace, mercy and love.
6:05
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lok God for doing that and empowering us
6:08
Speaker 1: to do it. I pray Love God, a hedge of protection,
6:10
Speaker 1: a wall of protection, a wall of fire, of protection
6:14
Speaker 1: for all of us to be covered with and to
6:17
Speaker 1: be protected by a wall of fire, holy ghost fire.
6:20
Speaker 1: That the enemy will not be able to penetrate that wall,
6:22
Speaker 1: and that we will not fall to the deception of
6:25
Speaker 1: the enemy. We will not listen to his voice. He's
6:27
Speaker 1: a stranger, and a stranger's voice we will not follow.
6:30
Speaker 1: We will only follow the Word of God in our
6:33
Speaker 1: lives and through our lives, in your word, which is
6:36
Speaker 1: your will in the scriptures. So I pray peace be
6:38
Speaker 1: still over everybody's life. I come against any chaotic thinking,
6:43
Speaker 1: or any distraction, or anything that tries to hinder us
6:46
Speaker 1: from sharing our gifts. Fear it's not a spirit of God.
6:49
Speaker 1: Thank you, Love God, that you didn't give us the
6:51
Speaker 1: spirit of fear. But when we are nervous or when
6:54
Speaker 1: we are struck by fear, we can rely on Holy
6:57
Speaker 1: Spirit God that lives within every single boarding and believer
7:00
Speaker 1: to help us through it all. In Jesus Name my praise,
7:03
Speaker 1: with thanksgiving by faith to the Amen, to the Amen. Amen.
7:07
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. I see your sister, Joey,
7:09
Speaker 1: and good morning God, bless you. Welcome back to the
7:11
Speaker 1: morning Devo. Help me share this out sixty seconds. When
7:14
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into gifts to serve
7:17
Speaker 1: on the Morning Devo. I'll be right back right alright, man, okay,
8:36
Speaker 1: I did good on that one. And man, I was moving.
8:39
Speaker 1: I was moving through those groups. So that to all
8:41
Speaker 1: the groups again. As I see you coming in, I'll
8:44
Speaker 1: give you a shout out as well, So let's go
8:46
Speaker 1: for it. The word of God is real. The Word
8:48
Speaker 1: of God is true. The Word of God is more
8:50
Speaker 1: than just letters on a paper in a book. The
8:54
Speaker 1: Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any
8:57
Speaker 1: double edged sword. The Word of God is able to
8:59
Speaker 1: complete and to do what the Word was purpose to do,
9:03
Speaker 1: and the Word performs its task in our lives in
9:08
Speaker 1: real time. It's amazing when you rely and trust in
9:11
Speaker 1: the Word of God, not when you rely and trust
9:15
Speaker 1: in your own understanding. The Bible says, lean not on
9:18
Speaker 1: your own understanding. But when we trust in the Living One,
9:21
Speaker 1: the Holy One, the Righteous One, the promise keeper. When
9:24
Speaker 1: we trust in the one who lavishes us with gifts.
9:27
Speaker 1: When we trust in the gift that's within us by
9:30
Speaker 1: way of Holy Spirit, then you onto something. Then you're
9:33
Speaker 1: living in truth. You're living in love, a man. You're inspired,
9:37
Speaker 1: you're being led, you're being taught, You're being guided in
9:40
Speaker 1: this world by Holy Spirit. God on the morning, Devo.
9:43
Speaker 1: So let's prepare for the screen for those who are
9:46
Speaker 1: just listening to you. But thank you so much for listening.
9:48
Speaker 1: I know you could be maybe on your way to word, driving,
9:51
Speaker 1: getting ready for work, or exercising, or whenever you're listening
9:55
Speaker 1: to this a man, Remember that the word audibly is
9:59
Speaker 1: ap as powerful as the visual. A man. Some people
10:03
Speaker 1: I prefer audio, believe it or not, more than video,
10:06
Speaker 1: because it touches my soul differently, A man. It reaches
10:10
Speaker 1: through my eargates and transfers to my heart in a
10:13
Speaker 1: quicker way. Some people want visuals and man, so I
10:16
Speaker 1: try to cover both as we go and do these
10:19
Speaker 1: morning DeVos so I know God will do a work
10:24
Speaker 1: in your heart regardless of how you're listening or how
10:27
Speaker 1: you're watching. Amen said, thank you so much for coming through.
10:30
Speaker 1: I'm excited for what God is gonna do right now.
10:34
Speaker 1: Gifts to serve, Gifts to serve today on the morning devo. Amen,
10:39
Speaker 1: And there's a message behind this screen. If you look closely,
10:44
Speaker 1: I put a there's a dried out tree. When when when? When?
10:48
Speaker 1: The picture transforms this drive out tree, and then there's
10:51
Speaker 1: a full tree. The drive out tree represents death. The
10:54
Speaker 1: full tree represents life. Some people have gifts and they're
10:58
Speaker 1: leading people to destruct. They're taking their gift and perverting
11:03
Speaker 1: the gift that God has given them for good and
11:06
Speaker 1: they're using it for the world and to just mislead people.
11:10
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're doing it purposefully. Sometimes I don't even know
11:13
Speaker 1: that being deceived to use the gift that God has
11:16
Speaker 1: given them for other purposes. So I pray for all
11:19
Speaker 1: those people who have gifts that are using it in
11:21
Speaker 1: the wrong way. I pray right now that you would
11:24
Speaker 1: turn from that way of wickedness, turn repent from doing
11:27
Speaker 1: that and use your gift for the Kingdom of God.
11:30
Speaker 1: In order for you to do that, you have to
11:32
Speaker 1: come clean, you have to be close. You have to
11:34
Speaker 1: go to Jesus, ask the Lord to forgive you for
11:37
Speaker 1: your sins. Believe in the Word in your life. He
11:39
Speaker 1: would give you Holy Spirit to guide you the rest
11:42
Speaker 1: of the way, and then you'll confess Jesus as your
11:44
Speaker 1: personal the Lord and Savior everywhere you go, because you'll
11:47
Speaker 1: know there's been a trans transformative, life changing part that
11:53
Speaker 1: has been done in your life. If that's what you amen,
11:56
Speaker 1: say Amen. First Corinthians, Chapter number twelve, Versus four to seven.
12:02
Speaker 1: Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments of
12:08
Speaker 1: gifts extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians due to the power
12:15
Speaker 1: of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit.
12:20
Speaker 1: And you can see the call that ones that we
12:23
Speaker 1: are called. You can see us operating when we operate
12:27
Speaker 1: in our gifts. The world notices right of waiting. They
12:32
Speaker 1: know and they see the extraordinary power. They see the
12:35
Speaker 1: gift of God in you and men. And it's all
12:39
Speaker 1: by Divine grace operating in our souls by way of
12:43
Speaker 1: a Holy Spirit. And they vary, these gifts vary, but
12:48
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit remains the same. You see that different gifts,
12:54
Speaker 1: same spirit, different gifts, same Spirit remains the same. And
13:02
Speaker 1: there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it
13:09
Speaker 1: is the same Lord who is served. Very important to
13:15
Speaker 1: know that we have the same spirit and we serve
13:17
Speaker 1: the same Lord. And there are distinctive varieties of operation
13:23
Speaker 1: of working to accomplish things, but it's the same God
13:27
Speaker 1: who inspires and energizes them all in all, but to
13:35
Speaker 1: each one is given the manifestation of the Holy Spirit,
13:41
Speaker 1: the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit for good
13:47
Speaker 1: and profit. There's so much here. This is like a
13:51
Speaker 1: whole teaching by itself that this belongs to the Blaze
13:54
Speaker 1: Bible study. Amen, I got to get back to those
13:57
Speaker 1: Blaze Bob studies because there's not enough time for me
13:59
Speaker 1: to break this love. But we know we have gifts.
14:03
Speaker 1: They're extraordinary powers that God has given you and God
14:07
Speaker 1: has given me. The world knows it, they recognize it,
14:10
Speaker 1: and they will want to know if they're honest, They
14:13
Speaker 1: want to know where we get this gifting from right,
14:17
Speaker 1: Where did this spirit come from? They want to know,
14:20
Speaker 1: and they have to know that we operate by divine grace.
14:25
Speaker 1: We get powered by divine grace, and that although the
14:29
Speaker 1: Body of Christ we do different things, we have giftings.
14:32
Speaker 1: All through the Body of Christ. We have the same Lord,
14:37
Speaker 1: the same Holy Spirit, same God. Not different Gods, not
14:43
Speaker 1: different Holy spirits, not different spirits, not different bodies, No
14:49
Speaker 1: one body, one holy Spirit, the same God. Amen. And
14:55
Speaker 1: we are illuminated. We are guided do good and profit.
15:04
Speaker 1: So we have what we need. I've been saying that
15:06
Speaker 1: forever because I know it's true. We have what we need.
15:10
Speaker 1: We have gifts to serve. Amen. And we don't have
15:13
Speaker 1: to go ahead and bow to anything else or anyone else. Amen.
15:17
Speaker 1: We borrow our knees to the Living, Holy, Righteous, Loving God,
15:22
Speaker 1: the true God of heaven and Earth. So the concept
15:26
Speaker 1: of gifts from God is beautifully illustrated in the New Testament.
15:29
Speaker 1: We read that, and we noticed that yesterday. If you
15:33
Speaker 1: were with us before today, Amen, the last time we
15:38
Speaker 1: got together, we were talking about this. But God has
15:43
Speaker 1: equipped each believer, each one of us, Amen, have gifts.
15:48
Speaker 1: You might not even recognize it, or this one is big.
15:53
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't want to acknowledge the gift
15:55
Speaker 1: that's in you for whatever reason. But I'll acknowledge the
15:58
Speaker 1: gift that's in you. We read it. We know that
16:00
Speaker 1: we have gifts. We know we serve the same Lord,
16:03
Speaker 1: the same Holy Spirit, Amen, and the same God who
16:06
Speaker 1: inspires us to use the gifts for good and for profit.
16:11
Speaker 1: Let me acknowledge your gift. Some people, for whatever reason,
16:15
Speaker 1: they'll see giftings and other believers and they won't. They
16:18
Speaker 1: refuse to acknowledge it for whatever reason. I don't know why. Amen,
16:22
Speaker 1: But if you met me, if you know me personally,
16:24
Speaker 1: I'll acknowledge the gift that's in you. I'll encourage you
16:27
Speaker 1: to use the gift that God has given you to
16:29
Speaker 1: reach people in the world. Man, let's do it. So
16:33
Speaker 1: God has equipped each believer with spiritual gift to serve
16:36
Speaker 1: and build up the body of Christ. Right. We already
16:41
Speaker 1: read that in One Corinthians chapter twelve, verses four to seven.
16:45
Speaker 1: Different kinds of workings for all of them, and everyone
16:52
Speaker 1: is the same God at work. I love it, different
16:55
Speaker 1: kinds of workings of the same God is at work
17:00
Speaker 1: in and through us. So when the world meets us.
17:04
Speaker 1: When someone who is not saved meets a believer who's
17:07
Speaker 1: born again, they should see a difference. They might not
17:11
Speaker 1: understand right away, they might not want to understand. Some
17:15
Speaker 1: people just refuse the gospel. Some people refuse the goodness
17:20
Speaker 1: of God. And man, I used to be on that side.
17:22
Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. I used to come
17:25
Speaker 1: in contact with believers and just recognize that they're different.
17:30
Speaker 1: And I used to just resist that. I used to
17:32
Speaker 1: just ignore that, and I used to just not ask
17:35
Speaker 1: questions because I knew my soul was like, there's something
17:39
Speaker 1: different about that person. There's something different about those people.
17:42
Speaker 1: There's something different about this conversation. But I didn't want
17:46
Speaker 1: to recognize it, you know what I'm talking about. So
17:50
Speaker 1: when people meet us born again believers fill with Holy Spirit,
17:54
Speaker 1: they notice a difference. You don't have to force the issue.
17:57
Speaker 1: You don't have to give somebody a business card and
17:59
Speaker 1: say hey, I'm evangelists so and so past the so
18:02
Speaker 1: and so. You don't have to force the issue. Just
18:05
Speaker 1: live out loud, Just live the life that God has
18:08
Speaker 1: given you out loud in front of people, so they
18:10
Speaker 1: could see the fire that's burning within us. And when
18:13
Speaker 1: they notice that they know their soul, will know their spirit,
18:18
Speaker 1: will know that there is truly a God who can
18:20
Speaker 1: change your life. And I always say, if God could
18:23
Speaker 1: change me, I'm one hundred percent convinced they could change anybody.
18:28
Speaker 1: Anybody could be changed by the glory, the power, the love,
18:31
Speaker 1: the mercy, the grace of God. And once that happens,
18:34
Speaker 1: He'll fill you with the empowerment, the endowments, the gifts,
18:38
Speaker 1: spiritual gifts that you can use daily in your life
18:42
Speaker 1: to reach others with the godspel message. You don't have
18:45
Speaker 1: to know all the scriptures. You don't have to know
18:47
Speaker 1: the Romans road, you don't have to have a formula,
18:50
Speaker 1: you don't have to know all the prophecies in the scriptures.
18:54
Speaker 1: What you do have to know is that Holy Spirit
18:56
Speaker 1: is going to guide you and that you have a promise,
18:59
Speaker 1: that you have a that you have a purpose that
19:01
Speaker 1: God has given you. And you can share your story
19:04
Speaker 1: that's powerful, your own testimony of how God changed your
19:08
Speaker 1: life from where you were to where you're going and
19:11
Speaker 1: where you are now. Amen. God gives us, He gives
19:15
Speaker 1: us the goods. He gives us what we need to
19:18
Speaker 1: live a good life and to have a profitable life,
19:22
Speaker 1: and to win souls for his kingdom, to build the
19:25
Speaker 1: Body of Christ, to expand the Kingdom of God through
19:28
Speaker 1: the Gospel message a man, we are who God calls
19:31
Speaker 1: us to be. We're not who the world calls us
19:34
Speaker 1: to be. The world will want to mock us, mock
19:37
Speaker 1: our Lord. The world will want to tell us to
19:40
Speaker 1: be quiet, to go away, to get out of the marketplace.
19:44
Speaker 1: The world doesn't want no part of the Kingdom of
19:47
Speaker 1: God because there's two kingdoms, and they're opposing kingdoms, the
19:51
Speaker 1: kingdom of this world and the Kingdom of God. They're
19:54
Speaker 1: not buddy buddy, right, They're not body buddies, I should say,
20:00
Speaker 1: because the Body of Christ is different than the body
20:02
Speaker 1: that's in this world. We're built different. We should speak different,
20:06
Speaker 1: we should act different, we should respond differently. We are
20:09
Speaker 1: guided by the truth. The world is deceived, that guided
20:12
Speaker 1: by a liar. That liar is the enemy of our souls,
20:16
Speaker 1: that liar hates all of God's creation. That liar is
20:20
Speaker 1: in dominion of the world's system. Temporarily, he's on a
20:24
Speaker 1: short leash. He's on he's renting time, he's borrowing time.
20:31
Speaker 1: And this is because of the power of the grace
20:34
Speaker 1: of God over the devil. Can you believe that some
20:36
Speaker 1: things that I look at the scriptures be like, Man,
20:39
Speaker 1: get that guy out of here. But because of the
20:41
Speaker 1: grace of God and the timing of God's his wishes
20:45
Speaker 1: that none should perish, but everyone have eternal life. And
20:49
Speaker 1: in order for that to be reality right in your
20:52
Speaker 1: life and my life, we had to hear a preacher,
20:55
Speaker 1: We had to hear the gospel. We had to see
20:58
Speaker 1: a demonstration of God's power working through somebody else. So
21:02
Speaker 1: it's not that the Lord is slack or slow to
21:07
Speaker 1: fulfill his promises. He's being cautious. He's being perfectly timing.
21:13
Speaker 1: He's perfectly timing his re entry to this world. So
21:17
Speaker 1: many many souls will be saved before Jesus ends it
21:21
Speaker 1: all and creates a new heaven and a new Earth
21:24
Speaker 1: that he's already bringing back with him. An amazing message,
21:28
Speaker 1: an amazing gospel, an amazing God, and the God who
21:31
Speaker 1: gives us these gifts different but the same. We have
21:36
Speaker 1: different workings, different gifts, but we serve the same God,
21:39
Speaker 1: the same Lord, the same spirit, all of them. And
21:43
Speaker 1: then everyone is the same God at work. Now, said
21:46
Speaker 1: each one, the manifestation of the Spirit is given for
21:50
Speaker 1: the common good. So news flash, your Holy Spirit of
21:56
Speaker 1: my Holy Spirit are the same. I don't know why
21:59
Speaker 1: people think they have more of the Holy Spirit than
22:03
Speaker 1: another brother or sister in Christ. I don't know where
22:06
Speaker 1: that comes from. I don't know what that means. Some
22:09
Speaker 1: people have more understanding of the scriptures, Praise God. Some
22:12
Speaker 1: people are studied more, some people have experienced more of
22:16
Speaker 1: God work in their lives. But it's the same Holy
22:19
Speaker 1: Spirit that they're listening to, that they're being guided, that
22:23
Speaker 1: they're being guided from right, same Holy Spirit. We don't
22:30
Speaker 1: have a different Holy Spirit. As a matter of fact,
22:32
Speaker 1: if we don't have Holy Spirit God living in us,
22:34
Speaker 1: we can't even say with more again, believers, So I
22:38
Speaker 1: respect the spirit in you. If you tell me God
22:40
Speaker 1: told you, I'm gonna listen to what you think or
22:44
Speaker 1: what you know that God told you. Now, I'm not
22:46
Speaker 1: gonna say nothing else on it. If you say God said,
22:50
Speaker 1: and man, that's between you and the Lord. But let's
22:53
Speaker 1: make sure that aligns with the scriptures. At least if
22:56
Speaker 1: you're asking, hey, am I hearing right? Is this from God?
23:00
Speaker 1: We have to make sure the aligns with the Word
23:02
Speaker 1: of God, all with the promise over your life and
23:04
Speaker 1: the promise over my life. There's other voices speaking. I
23:06
Speaker 1: hope you know that. And some of these voices that
23:09
Speaker 1: are speaking. A lot of the voices that are speaking
23:11
Speaker 1: are not truly from the Word of God, not truly
23:15
Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of God, not truly born again, not
23:17
Speaker 1: truly saved. They're operating in the flesh. Therefore, they're not
23:21
Speaker 1: operating in the spirit. But we have the same Spirit,
23:24
Speaker 1: different kinds of services, same Lord, different kinds of working.
23:29
Speaker 1: But in all of them and in everyone is the
23:32
Speaker 1: same God at work. Now to each one, the manifestation
23:36
Speaker 1: of the Spirit is given for the common good. Now,
23:39
Speaker 1: these type of gifts, these spiritual gifts from God, are
23:43
Speaker 1: expressions of his love and his grace. You notice that
23:48
Speaker 1: when somebody uses the gift of God, they're usually serving
23:51
Speaker 1: someone else. And a lot of times the people that
23:54
Speaker 1: we're serving are people who don't even know God. Or
23:58
Speaker 1: we're going with kindness, with love, with showing grace to
24:02
Speaker 1: those that are outside of the kingdom, so they could
24:05
Speaker 1: be attracted to what's inside of the kingdom. I would
24:08
Speaker 1: have never known about this love, disgrace and mercy unless
24:12
Speaker 1: God has sent people to encourage me, to inspire me,
24:16
Speaker 1: to include me, to show me, to demonstrate a life
24:20
Speaker 1: that's filled with holy spirit God. I would have never
24:22
Speaker 1: I would have kept moving, no clue. I would have
24:25
Speaker 1: just been in my own little zone, my own little world.
24:28
Speaker 1: I would have keep on. I would have kept on
24:29
Speaker 1: walking in the opposite direction. If no one would have
24:33
Speaker 1: would have disrupted or interrupted my path, or if no
24:38
Speaker 1: one had, you know, confronted me with the truth and man.
24:43
Speaker 1: So I thank God that I was confronted with the
24:45
Speaker 1: truth years ago by brother Rich Martinez and his brother
24:50
Speaker 1: Sammy Martinez, a man when I moved from New York
24:54
Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania, a man. The two men a guy that
24:57
Speaker 1: I met, were like wake up sleeper, and they've demonstrated
25:04
Speaker 1: on the love and the grace of God and the
25:06
Speaker 1: kindness of God, the inclusion that they kept me around
25:10
Speaker 1: them long enough, strategically enough so I could see the
25:15
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God and operation, the Church of God and operation.
25:19
Speaker 1: I thank God for the pastor of my first original pastor,
25:23
Speaker 1: Pastor randelandis that he showed me kindness, included me, encouraged me,
25:27
Speaker 1: lifted me up, inspired me, and anointed me. Evangelists. Incredible. Now,
25:33
Speaker 1: God will place people in your life early on because
25:36
Speaker 1: God loves us with a passion and with a compassion
25:40
Speaker 1: a man that he wants you to be a part
25:41
Speaker 1: of what God wants for your life. He wants you
25:44
Speaker 1: to be He wants you to be included in the
25:46
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. He wants you to be a branch
25:49
Speaker 1: off his tree. Right. So, these gifts from God are
25:53
Speaker 1: expressions of his love and his grace, enabling us to
25:57
Speaker 1: live out our faith and serve others in meaningful ways.
26:02
Speaker 1: Not in ways that I don't mean nothing, but in
26:04
Speaker 1: meaningful ways. I was served by God's children in a
26:09
Speaker 1: meaningful way. Amen. And I'm so glad that I took
26:13
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and I thank God for his grace that
26:15
Speaker 1: I'm born again because of it all. It's a plan.
26:18
Speaker 1: God is setting us up with these gifts to serve others.
26:21
Speaker 1: And while we're serving others, the Lord will have his
26:24
Speaker 1: way in your life with your family as well. So
26:26
Speaker 1: I'm out of time. I hope you get what I'm saying.
26:29
Speaker 1: Read First Corinthians chapter twelve, the whole chapter for yourself.
26:33
Speaker 1: I'm out of here. Thank you so much for hanging
26:35
Speaker 1: out with me for these morning DeVos. So let me
26:37
Speaker 1: send you off with a blessing. God bless you all,
26:40
Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
