- 1:42Christ, we're gonna boast in God, not in ourselves. Because literally,
- 1:47literally, if you're honest, let's be honest, we're no one without the
- 1:53one who created us. We could do nothing without the Lord Jesus, who
- 1:57gives us the strength to get things done. We're not wealthy unless we have
- 2:04the one who gives us a health to gain wealth. Right, we won't
- 2:09be alive if it wasn't for the lifegiver. We wouldn't be saved if it
- 2:14wasn't for the Savior. Amen. So we are to God flex. Amen,

- 2:32the Lord, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. We're gonna
- 2:36boast in Him, because there is a type of boasting that pleases God.
- 2:43Amen. If you hear, or know or are part of a community that
- 2:51all they do most of the time is talk about what they have done and
- 2:55what they have accomplished, and then they're prideful. But if you're in a
- 3:00community that knows that God is good, that God is awesome, that God
- 3:07is relevant, that God is real, that God saves, that God forgives,
- 3:14that God fortifies. He's the fortress, so therefore we are fortified.
- 3:22Amen. He is the fortress for the fortified. Isn't that something like He
- 3:29gives us strength, he gives us protection, he gives us power, he
- 3:31gives us authority. We all the salt and light of this earth. We'll

- 4:48we come back on the other side of those sixty seconds, we're gonna go
- 4:51into Jeremiah chapter number nine, the Prophet Jeremiah chapter number nine Versus twenty three
- 4:58and twenty four. Father, thank you so much that we can boast in
- 5:02you, Amen. Is so relieving that we don't have to look at each
- 5:06other and think that we're all of that. But we know that you are
- 5:12all of that. We know that you are the King of kings, and
- 5:15we know that you're the Lord of lords. We know that you're the Savior.
- 5:17You know, we know that you do all things. And without you
- 5:20we can do nothing. But with you we could do all things. All
- 5:24things are possible because of you, Amen, And we thank you, Lord
- 5:28Jesus for that. We thank you, Lord God, that with you we
- 5:31could do all things. Without you, we could do nothing. Amen.
- 5:34And although we are just amazed by your wonderful power, your power to save,
- 5:45your ability to let us know who you are, and your revelation,
- 5:50everything that you have for us, Lor God, thank you so much for
- 5:54what you're doing. And each in every individual life we call upon you as
- 5:59Savior, as Lord Almighty One, wonderful counselor Prince of Peace, and all
- 6:03the above. We thank you so much for what you're doing. And Jesus
- 6:08name, I prayer a hedge of protection over all my friends and family right
- 6:11now, my household, our studio, our ministry, our businesses, organizations
- 6:15that were connected to a hedge of protection by the power of the Lord.
- 6:19I dispatch arkwen angels, minister angels, warrant angels to annihilate the tactics of
- 6:25the enemy and the plans of the enemy over our lives. Because we're boasting
- 6:29in the one who won it all. We're boasting in them all, one
- 6:33who saved us. We boasting them one who gives us the power and authority
- 6:39to move forward in victory. And I thank you, Lo God, you
- 6:41would do the same for every single person that's connected now, who would connect
- 6:45later, who will listen now or listen later, watch now or watch later,
- 6:48them and their families. Lo God, I dispatch angels in the name
- 6:53of Jesus, to their situation, to their homes, to their job spaces,
- 6:57to the place where they are that you go, Lo God, will
- 7:00reveal your angels to them and show up so we could boaston you more and
- 7:04more and love for one another and first and foremost love for you in Jesus
- 7:09name, we praise by faith. Amen and Amen, Velvet God bless you.
- 7:13Welcome to the morning, Devo, my sister, my friend. Good
- 7:15morning to you as well. So listen, let's go for it. When
- 7:18we come back, like I said, we'll be in Jeremiah chapter number nine,
- 7:21verses twenty three and twenty four. I'll be right back. Amen.
- 9:07We're back. We're back. I'm trying to fix this camera a little bit,
- 9:09Amen, and get things out of the way as we move forward.
- 9:13That looks a little better. My apologies, it's just it's just me an.
- 9:18I'm a little particular on things, right, Amen. So let me
- 9:22load this seat. I'm over lower as possible. Amen. Move this back
- 9:26a little bit. And when you're in the studio, man, we try
- 9:30our best to make things right right. So amen. So we're back.
- 9:35Let's see what the word of God has for us. Amen. And and
- 9:37I'm excited about flexing for God. It's a relief to me that I could
- 9:41boast in God. Amen. And God is pleased with that type of boasting.
- 9:46He's letting the whole world know who he is daily. There's no excuse
- 9:50to Bible says, no one has an excuse to say, well, there
- 9:52is no God. There's no evidence of God. Like we hear our smart
- 9:56friends say that are atheists or now or whatever. We don't know for sure,
- 10:01and there's no evidence. There's no proof. The word of God says,
- 10:03we are without excuse. Amen. We see his creation. We see
- 10:07the stars, we see the planets, we see the horns Hire creation.
- 10:13Amen. We look at each other. We look at how intricate we are,
- 10:18how developed we are, how awesome my brain is, our eyes and
- 10:24our ears. There's a creator. When you look at a painting on the
- 10:26wall, you'd be like, wow, that's a beautiful painting. Someone created
- 10:31that paint thing. Amen, there's a creator. You look at a big
- 10:35skyscraper building, you know that it just didn't get presto. All the materials,
- 10:41the stone, the cement, the concrete, the metal, the foundation
- 10:46just didn't pop up out of nowhere. There was a creator. Someone had
- 10:50an idea for that skyscraper, and then they set forth plans, and those
- 10:54plans were set in place by the workers and the construction people, and then
- 11:00boom, a year or two later, you see one hundred floors of a
- 11:03skyscraper, we know it as a creator. So if we see those things
- 11:09innate and natural things, how about in the supernatural? Amen? What happens
- 11:15in supernatural? How do you wake up? Amen? Without an alarm clot
- 11:20How do you hear things or hear a voice or you just get this feeling
- 11:26that you shouldn't go a certain way and find out like five minutes later that
- 11:31you didn't go that way because there was something bad that was gonna happen,
- 11:33a car crash or somebody got heard, or how do you explain that coincidence?
- 11:39I'm not into coincidences. How do you explain that, Oh, it's
- 11:43the universe. I don't worship the universe. I worshiped the creator who created
- 11:46the universe. Amen. So we're going to boastom God today. Amen,
- 11:50you're very welcome, Sister Joys for the prayer, and manage my privilege and
- 11:54my honor to have the ability to pray to the King of Kings and the
- 11:58Lord of lords. He responds the way he responds. Amen, good morning,
- 12:03sister Joanne, I see you. Good morning, God bless you.
- 12:05Welcome back to the morning Devo. So let's see what the Word of God
- 12:07has as a prepare for the screen. Those who are listening to some winners
- 12:13with a Zeta Org which is the celebradio network. The leeh have Valley's number
- 12:16one urban gospel music station online since two thousand and eight. Welcome back,
- 12:20or you have to this press play on a player and you'll be with us
- 12:24over there as well. Amen, And I see the numbers. There's a
- 12:26lot of people coming through. Amen. On these morning DeVos real quick.
- 12:31If you don't hear the morning Devo on the radio and it's not live and
- 12:35you just hear music, Amen, My apologies. Sometimes I don't get to
- 12:39the studio in time. Sometimes I'm traveling, Amen, and you'll just hear
- 12:45the rotation of the music. But you can reach out to me. You
- 12:48could ask me about me. Yesterday, brother and Christ reached out to me
- 12:52because he didn't see me at a morning breakfast that I usually go to.
- 12:56And I'm grateful that people reach out. Amen. We need prayer daily,
- 13:01Amen. And you never know one day to the next things could change radically.
- 13:07Amen. But if we're in Christ, we're looking forward. We're looking
- 13:09forward to what God has for us daily. Amen. God flecks on the
- 13:13morning devote. Let's go for it. We'll put this on screen quickly and
- 13:18there we go. Amen. I love it. We're gonna give God his
- 13:22roses while we are still here. God is always existing, He will never
- 13:26die, He always will be, he always has been. Amen. And
- 13:30he's Jehovah Shaman, a guy who is dead, the guy who is here.
- 13:33He's the omnipresent God, all knowing God, all powerful God. Right,
- 13:37Oh man, He's all powerful. Yet he has a gensle spirit.
- 13:41Amazing what God has done in the lives of those who put our faith,
- 13:45hope and trust in him. Amen. So let's God flex today on the
- 13:50morning devote. Jeremiah chapter number nine, Verses twenty three and twenty four.
- 13:54This is what the Lord says. Listen closely. Don't let the why boasts
- 14:00and their wisdom, or the powerful boasts and their power, or the rich
- 14:05boasts and their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast and this
- 14:11alone, that they truly know me God and understand that I am the Lord
- 14:20who demonstrates unfailing love, and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,
- 14:26and that I delight in these things. I the Lord have spoken, So
- 14:33I know it's tempting, so very tempting to look at the wise people and
- 14:37be like, wow, it's so wise. And you know, then we
- 14:41put them on these pedestals, and we put them on platforms, and we
- 14:45usher them up, and some people somewhat worship these type of people. Don't
- 14:52do that. Don't let the wise boast in their wisdom, and don't be
- 14:56the one that's ushering them up into places where they don't deserve to be,
- 15:03or that God didn't call them to be at This is what the Lord says.
- 15:07Don't let the wise boast in their wisdom. The Bible says, the
- 15:11wisdom of this world is foolishness to him. Are you kidding me? We
- 15:16will never figure out God. It would take all eternity times eternity to try
- 15:22to figure out God. And I said, try to figure him out.
- 15:26He is awesome. He is all mighty, all powerful, all knowing.
- 15:31He is the supreme other. There is no one like my God. There
- 15:35is no one like my Lord. He is all of it that is real.
- 15:41He is all of it that is true, He's all of it that
- 15:43is just. He's all of it that is loving. He's all of it
- 15:46that is holy. So don't let the wise boast in their wisdom or the
- 15:50powerful boasts in their power. You ever met somebody so powerful and so full
- 15:54of themselves that say, man, I have power to do this that.
- 15:58And the third there was a man named Pontius Pilot, right, I think
- 16:03it was Ponstchius Pilot at one of the mock trials that Jesus was on,
- 16:07and the person in authority told Jesus, listen, I have the power to
- 16:11free you or to you know, to let you go or to keep you.
- 16:15And Jesus said, no, you don't have the power to do anything
- 16:18other than the power that you receive from above. Because if I wanted to,
- 16:22the Lord said Jesus said, if I wanted to, I could call
- 16:26a legion of angels right now and get this done with ay. Man,
- 16:30that's a God. Flex powerful want to boast in their power. But God
- 16:37is all powerful, So let's boasting an all powerful one. Or how about
- 16:41this. The rich they boasting their riches. Right, I got this,
- 16:44and I got that, and I got this. They don't have anything without
- 16:47the one who gave them the ability or the wisdom or the health to gain
- 16:52the wealth. Hey man, But those who wish to boast, we're going
- 16:56to boast in this this alone, that they truly know God. We know
- 17:00God, Amen, and we're gonna boast in that. Amen. Knowing God
- 17:06is a God flex Amen. And we could do that in love. We
- 17:10do it in love every day, right, I hope we're do it in
- 17:11love every day. We're boasting the fact that God has given us a new
- 17:15life. He has transformed our life. We'll no longer conformed to the patterns
- 17:21of this world. But we are being transformed, and our mind is being
- 17:25renewed daily by the washing of His Word, by Holy Spirit, who's leading
- 17:30us and guiding us. Listen, we ain't going nowhere unless we're being led
- 17:33by Holy Spirit God. So all truth and all righteous holiness, anything else
- 17:40outside of God's lead, we're doing our own a man. That's called arrogance
- 17:45and pride. That's why we'll start complaining, why isn't this happening? God?
- 17:49And why isn't this happening? God? And Holcome, we have to
- 17:52wait for this, and these people are way more advanced than we are.
- 17:56We should be in the front, in the back. We should be the
- 17:59head, not to right and we start questioning who we're serving and why we
- 18:04are in a position we're in. We're in a position that we're in sometimes
- 18:08because we're boasting in what we have done. And if we humble ourselves,
- 18:14Amen, Humility is not weakness. Being humble is power under control. Amen.
- 18:19We have what we need in this life to live it out in godliness
- 18:22and righteousness. We are holy priesthood and man. We don't have to run
- 18:26to a high priest. We have a high priest, a man who calls
- 18:30us the assault and light of this earth. We have a high priest that
- 18:36knows what we're going through because he's been through it all. Amen. And
- 18:41no longer do we have to do the sacrificial system. No longer are we're
- 18:45under the old Covenant law. No, We're under the grace of God.
- 18:51Amen. And the completed work of Jesus Christ is what we're boasting about.
- 18:56This is a God flex, Amen, truly a God flex. And I
- 19:00know this irritates a lot, This gets people mad. How could you Christians
- 19:04know that you're serving the Holy, righteous, loving God, the only God.
- 19:10I thought all roades lead led to God. You ever heard somebody say
- 19:14that all roads lead to God? It's like taking a blindfold and picking a
- 19:18part of an elephant. Some people picked this part of this part it all
- 19:22feels and saying you hurt the scenario right. But God says there's only one
- 19:26God. God says he is the living, true, holy, righteous,
- 19:30loving God. He's the guy of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He came
- 19:33in the form of a man named Jesus, a man, and Jesus lived
- 19:37on this earth among his own and his own the Bible says, rejecting him.
- 19:42And even though they rejected and he still walked in grace, he still
- 19:45humbled himself and to the form of a man. A man, he then
- 19:49boasts about anything that he was doing. He boasted about what God had done
- 19:55and what he was doing in his life, as him being in the form
- 19:59of a man, being a perfect example of how to live a righteous life.
- 20:04Jesus was without sin, yet he himself became sin, and then he
- 20:08provided away for the whole world to be forgiven for this sin. A man,
- 20:12he took the sins of the world upon his shoulders, and he himself
- 20:17did not sin. Died on the cross, an ugly death. I don't
- 20:22know why people trying to polish the gospel, make it look so pretty all
- 20:25the time. The cross is ugly. I don't know why people are denying
- 20:29that. It's a gruesome death. A man, my Lord, was on
- 20:34that cross, bloodied up, he was beat bruised. They spit at him,
- 20:41they pulled out his beard. A bloody cross, and some people are
- 20:48preaching a pretty cross. I don't get it. But he died. And
- 20:52then three days later, Amen, God Flex, he came alive, back
- 20:57alive. A man showed himself to the disciples, and for days upon days
- 21:06before he ascended. Amen. He gave us a promise that the one hundred
- 21:10and twenty in the upper room, will we receive Holy Spirit God. So
- 21:14wait there. They received the promise of the Holy Spirit. Another God flex.
- 21:18A promise received, and they went and started the church. A man
- 21:23preached the gospel. Thousands were getting saved. Another God flex. The word
- 21:29of God is true. Another God Flex. And we're going to boast.
- 21:33And the one who is worthy of boasting about the Lord, the King of
- 21:37King's Lord of Lords, God, ALMIGHTI Yahweh Jehovah, Nissi Jehovah, Shalom,
- 21:42Amen, Our Peace, our Rock l Elion. Amen, Adam nine.
- 21:48We're gonna boast in him. There is a type of boasting that pleases
- 21:52God. This is what the Lord says. Amen. Let him who boasts
- 22:02right. If you're gonna brag, brag about God, boast about this that
- 22:07he understands and knows me. God understands and knows me. That's a God
- 22:11flex. God understands and knows you. That's a God flex. Amen.
- 22:17That I am the Lord who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth.
- 22:25For in these I delight, declares the Lord. So what is it
- 22:29we're boasting about God's kindness? The Bible's clear. The Bible says, it's
- 22:34the kindness of God that leads men to repent, to turn for them wicked
- 22:40ways and turn to the righteousness of God, to know that their sinners,
- 22:44to become, to get to a place. When I got to the place
- 22:48when I realized I sin against a holy God, I already had done a
- 22:52lot of sin, and I already had done with the world offered, and
- 22:56I already had the scars to cove it. And I already had to know
- 23:00how an experience to do this and to do that. Everything that's a flesh
- 23:03desired I was doing it and it was no problem. It was easy.
- 23:08I was pride for I was arrogant, I was angry, I was ignorant.
- 23:12Amen. Then I got honest with myself. Amen, how many people
- 23:18want to get honest with yourself? And I realized, I'm losing. I'm
- 23:22not winning existing, I'm not living. I'm alone, I'm not fulfilled satisfied.
- 23:30I was empty. I wasn't satisfied by anything that this world offered any
- 23:34longer. So I said, I need God. It was a God flex
- 23:38at that moment, and God showed up. I was lost. God wasn't
- 23:42lost. I was. I didn't find God. God found me. Amen.
- 23:48I was lost and needed a savior, and Jesus was already there.
- 23:51Amen. And thank you God for your grace and your mercy. Showed up.
- 23:55And he showed up. After a rochy prayer and Rochi's prayer that I
- 23:59think anybody ever heard, if we were ready to heard, me prayed the
- 24:03way I prayed to the Lord, and he his kindness, his kindness led
- 24:07me to repent a man, and it drew me to him a man,
- 24:12and he saved me, rescue me and transformed me, reknew me, restored
- 24:15me, I'm not the only one that knows that kind of story, that
- 24:18kind of testimony. There's many people online, many people in this world.
- 24:22I have brothers and sisters in Christ that I've never met on the other side
- 24:26of his planet. I will probably never meet until we have the eternal life
- 24:32on the other side of eternity in heaven. But in the meantime, we're
- 24:34gonna boast about the one who is kind, to boast about the one who
- 24:38is. Just boast about the one who is righteous. Amen. Or when
- 24:44we do that, he God the lights in that, And that's a declaration
- 24:49from the Lord. It's a God flex. A lot of people don't like
- 24:52our God. They ignore the Gospel, they resist, they reject the Gospel
- 24:59with the The Bible tells us why they do that, because light has come
- 25:02into this world, and the world, the system of the world, the
- 25:06people, the flesh, the pride of life, the lust of the flesh,
- 25:10the devil, all those things, when you put them together, hate
- 25:15the light. They hate the light. Light has come into this world.
- 25:18But people hate the light because they don't want their sins exposed. They don't
- 25:22want their darkness exposed. Amen. God did the greatest work in my life
- 25:27through my darkness. But through my darkness I was calling out to the one
- 25:33who shed light and exposed my darkness. And when the light of Christ came
- 25:37into my life. Amen, darkness had to go. Amen, it had
- 25:41to go. If you're in darkness right now, repent, turn to the
- 25:45one who exposed the darkness. Amen, and he will give you the light
- 25:48of Christ. And the light of Christ is a blazing light. Not only
- 25:52that you'll receive forgiveness, not only that you receive Holy spirit God to continue
- 25:57to guide you and lead you to all truth. He will teach you,
- 26:00would guide you, regard you, connect you with the right community. Amen.
- 26:04And even if you stumble, will go the wrong way, he will
- 26:07lead you back to the right path. Why because that's a God flex.
- 26:11Amen. A lot of people are saying Amen right now to everybody who's listening.
- 26:15Who knows the power of God, who knows the love of God,
- 26:18the grace of God, the mercy of God, the forgiveness of God,
- 26:22the power of God, the authority of God. That will really be a
- 26:26God flex in your life. Let's do it with kindness, because it's not
- 26:29the yelling and screaming and the argument and debating about God. That leads people
- 26:33to repentance is the kindness of God a man, the righteousness, the holiness,
- 26:38the power of God, an holy spirit, God who convinces and convicts
- 26:44people of their sin and convinces people that he is who the Word of God
- 26:49says he is. He is God Almighty, He is the Savior. He
- 26:52is the one who can rescue our souls. Is the Lord. Jesus,
- 26:57that's a God flexs all of it when we go about it that way,
- 27:03Amen. And we show love from one another first and foremost, show love
- 27:06to God with everything we have our soul, mind, body, physically,
- 27:10emotionally, spiritually, we give it all to God. Love him first,
- 27:12and then love our neighbors like we love ourselves. Amen. Jesus said,
- 27:18that's a God flex Then we're on the right path. And then we're not
- 27:22a religious but we're pure religion, which we go and feed the homeless and
- 27:27go help the widow. Amen, and be the light and assault of this
- 27:33earth. Amen. That's what God delights in, and we're boasting him.
- 27:37We're not boasting in ourselves, Amen. We're not boasting in our accomplishments,
- 27:41but we're boasting in the God who loves us, the God who saves.
- 27:47Psalm forty four, Verse eight says. Psalm forty four eight says in God,
- 27:52we make our boasts all day long, and we will praise His name
- 27:57forever, My God. That's a God. Flex Amen. Listen. I
- 28:03hope you're blessed. I hope you have a great day. I'll bless you
- 28:07in the name of Jesus. Take Jeremiah chapter number nine. Read the whole
- 28:11chapter for yourself, and be blessed, and learn how to boast about God.
- 28:17Pleases God. That way to do that, since the joy says,
- 28:19Amen, boast about Jesus. All power and praise belongs to him. Yes.
- 28:26Amen, And that's a God flesks. Amen. God bless you all.
