0:18
Speaker 1: us by way of His Holy Spirit, and he moves
0:20
Speaker 1: us forward. And what he's he doing, ultimately, he's equipping
0:23
Speaker 1: us to do the works of the ministry.
0:26
Speaker 2: Right, if you're part.
0:27
Speaker 1: Of a believing community, born again community, if you're part
0:31
Speaker 1: of a worship house or a church, or if you're
0:35
Speaker 1: part of an evangelistic movement, or maybe you are on
0:40
Speaker 1: a home church or a home group or a connect
0:43
Speaker 1: group or a small group a man, we should be
0:46
Speaker 1: equipping each other. If you're born again, you're actually a saint,

Speaker 1: you're no longer a sinner. How to equip the Saints.
0:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna revisit this, So this is part two. I
0:57
Speaker 1: know I did the same title maybe last week, but
1:02
Speaker 1: we're gonna revisit this how to Equip the Saints, and
1:05
Speaker 1: we're gonna be going.
1:06
Speaker 2: Through the Great Commission. Matthew twenty eight.
1:09
Speaker 1: I believe, right, Versus nineteen and twenty. Jesus gave us
1:14
Speaker 1: this commission, of this privilege, this honor a man to
1:19
Speaker 1: be part of what He's doing on the earth. So
1:23
Speaker 1: it's actually Matthew twenty eight Verses nineteen and twenty. So
1:27

1:29
Speaker 1: saints the works of the ministry of any church, of
1:34
Speaker 1: any organized born again group? Amen, we should be We
1:40
Speaker 1: should be equipping each other. Amen, to do the works
1:43
Speaker 1: of the ministry. Right, this is not something that I'm
1:46
Speaker 1: making up. This is something that we should be doing
1:48
Speaker 1: by the way of the word, by way of the word.
1:51
Speaker 1: So how we apply biblical truth? Not my opinion, not
1:56
Speaker 1: your opinion, not what somebody said years ago about something. No,
2:02
Speaker 1: we have the scriptures, we have the Manual for Life,
2:05
Speaker 1: we have the Bible. So we apply biblical truth, we
2:09
Speaker 1: apply practical steps. Now how right, we know the why
2:14
Speaker 1: because we're born again and Jesus commissioned us to go
2:19
Speaker 1: and preach the gospel. So now is the how how
2:24
Speaker 1: do you do this? Well, we apply biblical truth, practical steps,
2:29
Speaker 1: and spiritual strength, and we equip each other.
2:32
Speaker 2: We equip the saints. So how to equip the Saints.
2:35
Speaker 1: I know it sounds formulative, right, it sounds like it's
2:38
Speaker 1: a formula. It sounds like it's maybe a course on something,
2:43
Speaker 1: But it's actually biblical what we're gonna be talking about obviously,
2:46
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do this morning Devo in Matthew twenty eight,
2:50
Speaker 1: verses nineteen and twenty.
2:52
Speaker 2: So I love it. I love the great commission amen.
2:55
Speaker 1: I love the fact that God calls us to do
2:57
Speaker 1: something and He is the one who gives us the
3:00
Speaker 1: strength to get what he called us to do done
3:03
Speaker 1: on this side of eternity, right.

5:02
Speaker 1: on this side of eternity, Father God, I believe that
5:06
Speaker 1: people are really not wanting to hear what we're saying.
5:10
Speaker 1: They want to see the demonstration of what we're saying.
5:12
Speaker 1: They want to see the application of the Word of
5:15
Speaker 1: God breathing and living and having our way on earth.
5:20
Speaker 1: They want to see the sons of the Living God.
5:22
Speaker 1: They want to see the people of God rise up
5:25
Speaker 1: to the occasion. They want to see how do we
5:28
Speaker 1: love our enemies. They want to see how do we
5:30
Speaker 1: baptize people in the name of the Father's Son in
5:32
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. They want to see all these things,
5:34
Speaker 1: Lord God, So help us, help us be the witnesses
5:39
Speaker 1: that you called us to be. Help us be the
5:40

6:43
Speaker 1: that they would be getting this revelation and that they
6:47
Speaker 1: will sense the presence of a holy, mighty, loving, righteous
6:50
Speaker 1: God in Jesus Holy Name. I pray it's by faith
6:53
Speaker 1: and those who agree, we say Amen to the Amen.
6:55
Speaker 1: Let's go for it. Help me shut this out sixty seconds.
6:58
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll get right into Matthew chapter
7:01
Speaker 1: number twenty eight Versus nineteen and twenty the Saints right
7:06
Speaker 1: how to look up the Saints.
7:08
Speaker 2: This is part two. I'll be right back. Amen.
8:49
Speaker 1: Amen, we're back. Let's go for it. I shared to
8:51
Speaker 1: some groups. I see if my restriction, my band is lifted.
8:56
Speaker 1: I see if I could go through and go ahead
8:58
Speaker 1: and shared it to the groups again. And if I'm
9:00
Speaker 1: in a group and I'm sharing this on your group
9:03
Speaker 1: and you don't want it, or you don't you think
9:06
Speaker 1: it's a bother like the they told me last time,
9:09
Speaker 1: just remove me from your group, cause I'm not sure
9:11
Speaker 1: who's who I'm bothering.
9:13
Speaker 2: Amen.
9:14
Speaker 1: If that was true of what I got from Meta, Amen,
9:17
Speaker 1: that information since to joy and I see you. Good morning, God,
9:19
Speaker 1: blessing my sister, my friend. Welcome back to the Morning Devotion,
9:23
Speaker 1: the Morning Devo. So let's go straight to the word, Amen,
9:28
Speaker 1: cause there's a lot here. It's a lot of beautiful
9:31
Speaker 1: ways that we can share with one another the gospel message,
9:35
Speaker 1: and also with others who have probably never heard the gospel,
9:38
Speaker 1: at least properly heard the gospel, right I I I
9:42
Speaker 1: used to always as assume or imagine that in America,
9:46
Speaker 1: especially in the United States, that everyone has heard the Gospel.
9:50
Speaker 1: And I was shocked, oh, when I s was doing
9:55
Speaker 1: outdoor ministry outside, you know, witnessing on the streets of
10:00
Speaker 1: Bethlehem during MusicFest, one of the largest outdoor music festivals
10:06
Speaker 1: in the whole Northeast, the whole East Coast, actually.
10:09
Speaker 2: One of the largest.
10:11
Speaker 1: And I would approach people with this idea that they
10:15
Speaker 1: probably heard this already. And to my surprise, there were
10:19
Speaker 1: people who have never heard the gospel before, and they
10:21
Speaker 1: were Americans, they were from the United States, someone from
10:25
Speaker 1: other countries, because people from all over the world come
10:27
Speaker 1: to music Fest. And I was kind of like, wow, okay,
10:32
Speaker 1: And some people who never heard it presented to them
10:36
Speaker 1: in real time something that they could relate to, and
10:39
Speaker 1: some people received it. Some people rejected. You know, so
10:43
Speaker 1: you keep on going because you know that this is
10:46
Speaker 1: true and that we're commissioned to do this. We are
10:50
Speaker 1: asked of God, we are told by God, we are
10:53
Speaker 1: inspired by God to move forward and preach the Gospel
10:58
Speaker 1: and leave the results to Him Holy Spirit. God is
11:02
Speaker 1: the one who does the convincing and the convicting. I
11:05
Speaker 1: don't have to sit anywhere or go anywhere trying to
11:09
Speaker 1: convince people that Jesus is God, trying to convince people
11:14
Speaker 1: that the Bible is the Word of God. Trying to
11:16
Speaker 1: convince people. You know how long that would take, and
11:19
Speaker 1: the debates and the arguments or the points that they
11:22
Speaker 1: have and the points that we have, and it would
11:24
Speaker 1: take a long time. Now, if you have a friend
11:28
Speaker 1: that wants to engage in that, and you have time,
11:30
Speaker 1: you're with them anyway, go ahead and do that. Do
11:33
Speaker 1: it with grace, Do recruit truth, do with love. Don't
11:37
Speaker 1: force anybody to believe what you believe. You can't do that,
11:42
Speaker 1: because if somebody could be forced into the Kingdom of God,
11:45
Speaker 1: that means somebody could be forced out of the Kingdom
11:47
Speaker 1: of God. And that's not the way of the Lord.
11:49
Speaker 1: That's not the way he commissioned us to do what
11:52
Speaker 1: he called us to do. Amen, So let me go
11:54
Speaker 1: ahead and put this on the screen for those who
11:57
Speaker 1: are just listening.
11:57
Speaker 2: No worries.
11:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this word for word, so that we
12:00
Speaker 1: could get this message together and we could read the
12:04
Speaker 1: scripture together. You're ready, Matthew twenty eight, Verses nineteen to twenty.
12:10
Speaker 1: The Lord Jesus, I'm quoting what he said. The Lord says,
12:15
Speaker 1: go therefore and make disciples of all the nations. Help
12:20
Speaker 1: the people to learn of me, believe in me, and
12:24
Speaker 1: obey my words. We're help ministry. We are serving the Lord.
12:30
Speaker 1: We are part of the Kingdom of God. We are
12:32
Speaker 1: commissioned right to do this, baptizing them in the name
12:38
Speaker 1: of the Father and of the Son and of the
12:42
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit that goes to try you in God right there,
12:46
Speaker 1: teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you.
12:52
Speaker 1: And lo, I am with you, always remaining with you, perpetually,
12:59
Speaker 1: regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion, even to the
13:05
Speaker 1: end of the age. That's amazing, man. We are commissioned
13:12
Speaker 1: to go. A lot of people want to stay in
13:15
Speaker 1: their seats. They want to stay in their comfortable chairs.
13:19
Speaker 1: They want to stay in the peuse. They want to
13:21
Speaker 1: stay in a controlled environment. They want to stay apart
13:25
Speaker 1: from the world. They want to stay home. They want
13:27
Speaker 1: to stay in their place of familiality. But God tells us,
13:33
Speaker 1: the Lord tells us to go.
13:35
Speaker 2: Amen.
13:36
Speaker 1: Once you get what you got, you got to go
13:39
Speaker 1: and give to other people. That's the great commission. That's
13:43
Speaker 1: what we're here for. That's what we do.
13:45
Speaker 2: Amen.
13:46
Speaker 1: As believers in the Lord, we are not afraid. We
13:49
Speaker 1: are not ashamed of the Gospel, and we're not afraid
13:52
Speaker 1: to share it, or at least we shouldn't be afraid.
13:54
Speaker 1: I know it could be nerve wracking when you're sharing
13:57
Speaker 1: what you know about the Lord with someone else, because
13:59
Speaker 1: you in the back of your mind it's like they
14:01
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm crazy, They're gonna reject me.
14:03
Speaker 2: But it's not you that they're rejecting.
14:04
Speaker 1: If they do reject you, it's actually Lord and his
14:07
Speaker 1: message and his gospel and man, so you could take
14:10
Speaker 1: all the weight off his shoulder.
14:12
Speaker 2: Brother one, I see you.
14:13
Speaker 1: Good morning, brother God, bless you, welcome back to the
14:15
Speaker 1: morning devot.
14:16
Speaker 2: Amen.
14:17
Speaker 1: Thank you for the blessing and the blessing over the
14:20
Speaker 1: group and everybody that's tuned in and watching. Thank you
14:23
Speaker 1: so much, Brother wan So. I always I always just
14:26
Speaker 1: think it said, man, what are the people going to say?
14:29
Speaker 2: They're not gonna respond? Good to my message.
14:32
Speaker 1: And then I had to humble myself and say, wait
14:34
Speaker 1: a minute, this is not my message, This is not
14:36
Speaker 1: my gospel. This is the Gospel, the Gospel of Jesus,
14:39
Speaker 1: the Gospel of God.
14:41
Speaker 2: The Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Amen.
14:43
Speaker 1: I didn't put this together. I didn't make this up.
14:45
Speaker 1: I didn't write the Bible. So I'm relying on Holy Spirit.
14:49
Speaker 1: When I do share the Gospel with someone, I'm relying
14:53
Speaker 1: on the Holy Spirit to do what he does. He
14:56
Speaker 1: convinces people, He convicts people of their sin, and makes
15:00
Speaker 1: people realize or allows people to realize that without him
15:05
Speaker 1: were nothing, but with him we could do all things
15:07
Speaker 1: through him, Jesus Christ, who gives us the strength to
15:10
Speaker 1: get what he wants to get done through us done.
15:14
Speaker 1: Hey man, sister Schari, God bless you. I see you,
15:17
Speaker 1: my sister. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome to the morning.
15:19
Speaker 2: Devo.
15:20
Speaker 1: Let me get quickly to my notes and see if
15:25
Speaker 1: I could get this in so so, the boldness of
15:28
Speaker 1: sharing the gospel is how we equip each other, how
15:33
Speaker 1: we equip the saints. And there's a ministry that reached
15:37
Speaker 1: out to I'm waiting back from the ministry, so woman,
15:42
Speaker 1: a guy that goes on planes, trains and automobiles, right buses,
15:47
Speaker 1: any malls, a doughnut shop, anywhere she goes. She literally
15:52
Speaker 1: literally puts on her phone, starts live streaming and gives
15:56
Speaker 1: people the gospel. That's boldness, and she'll do it public areas.
16:01
Speaker 1: She's documenting it, she's recording it, live stream it to
16:05
Speaker 1: show her supporters, the people who donate into a ministry,
16:08
Speaker 1: showing the world actually that she's not ashamed of the gospel.
16:12
Speaker 1: And she's also a worship singer as well. Incredible ministry.
16:17
Speaker 1: So I reached out hopefully we could get her on
16:20
Speaker 1: either the morning devotional or on one of our radio
16:22
Speaker 1: shows on the network. I want to ask us some
16:25
Speaker 1: questions the boldness, where does it come from? I know
16:27
Speaker 1: where it comes from, the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, God
16:30
Speaker 1: gives you the boldness. But also what are the behind
16:34
Speaker 1: the scenes, like who's approaching her after the live stream
16:38
Speaker 1: is over, and what's going on behind the scenes? Amen,
16:41
Speaker 1: because I know that when you do that in a
16:44
Speaker 1: public space, that means things will be manifest. The enemy
16:51
Speaker 1: is out there, right, he's the prince of the heir.
16:53
Speaker 1: How does he react? How does he respond?
16:56
Speaker 2: Right?
16:57
Speaker 1: So, that way we could be equipped through her experience,
17:01
Speaker 1: through the minister's experience, of how we should be equipped
17:04
Speaker 1: and what we should be looking out for or how
17:07
Speaker 1: should we be able to do better or maybe be
17:11
Speaker 1: more aware, I should say, not do better, be more
17:13
Speaker 1: aware of our surroundings and the possibilities of manifestations of
17:17
Speaker 1: demons or people who are just hard hearted.
17:22
Speaker 2: Amen, hard hearted.
17:25
Speaker 1: So the Great Commission, that was what we read from
17:28
Speaker 1: the Lord, quoting him, quoting the Lord and the Great Commission.
17:34
Speaker 1: Don't be ashamed of the gospel, because if you're ashamed
17:37
Speaker 1: of the gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ, then
17:39
Speaker 1: that means you're probably not understanding this truth, this gospel truth.
17:45
Speaker 1: You're not understanding who you are in the Kingdom. You're
17:48
Speaker 1: not understanding the grace of God, the mercy of God,
17:50
Speaker 1: the love of God, the power of God right, the
17:53
Speaker 1: wisdom of God. You're not embracing who you are in
17:56
Speaker 1: your new identity in Christ two Corinthians five seventeen. So
18:00
Speaker 1: don't be ashamed of the gospel. If you have doubts,
18:04
Speaker 1: it's okay. I wouldn't stay there for too long. Go
18:07
Speaker 1: get answers through the scriptures, Go get answers through ministers
18:11
Speaker 1: of God that have been there, done that, who know
18:14
Speaker 1: the scriptures, who apply to scriptures, and that you see
18:18
Speaker 1: demonstrating God's love. If you have doubts, ask questions. I
18:21
Speaker 1: always tell the younger generation ask somebody. Don't stay there
18:26
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, this can't be, this can't be, this
18:28
Speaker 1: can't be without getting answers for yourself.
18:33
Speaker 2: Right.
18:34
Speaker 1: Romans one sixteen says, do not be ashamed of the
18:36
Speaker 1: Gospel for his power unto salvation. I'm paraphrasing, So if
18:43
Speaker 1: you're out there, you have to have confidence right to
18:46
Speaker 1: go and approach a stranger with the message of love.
18:51
Speaker 2: This is a love message. I know people think, oh.
18:53
Speaker 1: There's bondage, you're being brainwashed, and you know the Bibles
18:58
Speaker 1: used to control people. It's all like they're saying that
19:01
Speaker 1: the scriptures are telling us to go ahead and force
19:04
Speaker 1: people into the Kingdom of God, which is absolutely not true.
19:08
Speaker 1: Nowhere does to say to go force people to believe
19:13
Speaker 1: and who Jesus is to go ahead and force people
19:16
Speaker 1: to believe in yahweh God elohem God right, none of
19:20
Speaker 1: that rock alohem. We're not forcing people to speak like us.
19:25
Speaker 1: We're not forcing people to believe like us. We're not
19:27
Speaker 1: forcing people to believe that Jesus is God. We're not
19:30
Speaker 1: forcing people to believe the authority of the inerrbor word
19:33
Speaker 1: of God.
19:34
Speaker 2: Amen. No, we're not doing that. We weren't forcing it
19:37
Speaker 2: at least I know I was forced into the kingdom.
19:39
Speaker 2: What about you? Amen?
19:41
Speaker 1: God himself is not forcing his message on his creation.
19:46
Speaker 1: He's allowing us to choose, and he's.
19:49
Speaker 2: Demonstrating his own love.
19:50
Speaker 1: He has already demonstrated his own love that while we
19:54
Speaker 1: were still enemies of God, that while we were still
19:57
Speaker 1: haters of God, He's still died for us.
20:02
Speaker 2: Incredible.
20:03
Speaker 1: No one is forcing this message, and I know I
20:06
Speaker 1: hear it sometimes in the marketplace. You can't force your
20:10
Speaker 1: message on me. You shouldn't be forcing anything. And I'm like, wow,
20:14
Speaker 1: there's nobody forcing nothing, a man, there's nobody forcing the
20:18
Speaker 1: gospel or you know, I've seen religious people out there
20:22
Speaker 1: screaming and yelling at people, sending everybody to a hell
20:25
Speaker 1: that they didn't create, right, a hell that they don't control.
20:30
Speaker 1: But they're sending people to hell because they say that
20:33
Speaker 1: the people around them are doing wicked things, their sinners.
20:37
Speaker 1: They're being very religious and judgmental. I've seen people do that,
20:40
Speaker 1: but I've also had the same token observed them, and
20:43
Speaker 1: I've never seen nobody fall on their knees and give
20:46
Speaker 1: their life to Lord through that type of ministry. Now
20:49
Speaker 1: that's just my experience. You might have seen people fall
20:52
Speaker 1: to their knees and give their life to the Lord
20:55
Speaker 1: among that type of ministry, but I have never seen it.
20:58
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it doesn't happen that. I'm just saying
21:01
Speaker 1: that's not the way I would approach it.
21:03
Speaker 2: A man.
21:04
Speaker 1: There's something about love, lovingly sharing the truth, truth and
21:08
Speaker 1: love right, something about that way of doing things that
21:11
Speaker 1: really attracts people to want to listen to what you're saying.
21:15
Speaker 1: They're yelling and screaming at people while they're passing by
21:18
Speaker 1: or going to events that you know, our worldly that
21:21
Speaker 1: you know are full of sinners, and they're doing their thing,
21:25
Speaker 1: and then you're popping up saying that the Lord led
21:27
Speaker 1: you there and that you're warning everybody. I'm a little
21:30
Speaker 1: leary about that, because you're already going to the battleground. Amen,
21:33
Speaker 1: and now you're exposing, supposedly exposing what's obvious sinners among sinners,
21:39
Speaker 1: blind leading to blind you know, and I know that
21:42
Speaker 1: they're doing what they do because they're without Christ, they're sinners.
21:47
Speaker 1: They're doing what they do sis the nils. I see you, Amen, God,
21:51
Speaker 1: bless you, brother Sam and family. Greatest gift of God
21:54
Speaker 1: is free will. Yes, we could choose daily.
21:57
Speaker 2: We choose.
21:58
Speaker 1: Thank you for your comming system. We choose daily. So
22:01
Speaker 1: if I'm going to pop up at a parade that
22:03
Speaker 1: they're promoting ungodly things and I'm gonna preach your gospel, okay,
22:07
Speaker 1: it's it's my choice if I want to do that,
22:10
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to go on camera and say
22:12
Speaker 1: I'm being persecuted. Look, they're rejecting. We know that their
22:16
Speaker 1: life is a rejection of the gospel. But how do
22:19
Speaker 1: you equip the saints to go and reach people like that?
22:23
Speaker 1: I think that we go into their environments, maybe pass
22:27
Speaker 1: out flyers or you know, ask them why they're doing
22:32
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Questions is always a beautiful thing, a
22:35
Speaker 1: beautiful way to start a gospel message by asking questions,
22:39
Speaker 1: listening to their stories.
22:40
Speaker 2: But if you're going to point fingers, get.
22:42
Speaker 1: Ready, they get to point fingers right back at you,
22:45
Speaker 1: and then they get to start accusing us of forcing
22:50
Speaker 1: our religion, supposedly as a religion onto them, and they
22:54
Speaker 1: get upset, and then of course you get to see
22:55
Speaker 1: manifestations of demons on godly actions, maybe even you know,
23:01
Speaker 1: bodily harm. If you're to go into areas like that,
23:04
Speaker 1: I suggest you don't want. Number one, you don't go
23:06
Speaker 1: by yourself. Number two, you pray and ask God if
23:09
Speaker 1: that's his God, as that's him guiding you to those areas. Yes,
23:14
Speaker 1: God loves people, all people, and he wants to take
23:18
Speaker 1: people out of their darkness into his marvelous life. Of course, Amen,
23:21
Speaker 1: praise the Lord. But we're also supposed to be strategic.
23:25
Speaker 1: You know, we're supposed to be gentle as a dove
23:28
Speaker 1: and as like as like wise as a serpent. The
23:33
Speaker 1: Bible says, So we don't just go places without a plan.
23:37
Speaker 1: We don't go places just randomly, amen, or without a plan,
23:42
Speaker 1: especially by yourself.
23:43
Speaker 2: Now, when I was a.
23:44
Speaker 1: Young Christian, I used to go to the prison ministry
23:47
Speaker 1: by myself. I used to go and witness by myself.
23:51
Speaker 1: I used to go into night clubs by myself with
23:53
Speaker 1: a clipboard, taking prayer requests. You know, thank God for
23:57
Speaker 1: his grace and covering and his protection. I think that's
24:00
Speaker 1: the right thing to do by yourself. But then I
24:05
Speaker 1: learned quickly and then I would get brothers to come
24:08
Speaker 1: along side of me for accountability and fossil for eyes
24:14
Speaker 1: and for protection. Sometimes it gets to a point where
24:17
Speaker 1: where people hate the message so much that they get
24:21
Speaker 1: angry and they have outbursts of anger.
24:23
Speaker 2: Amen.
24:25
Speaker 1: I've been in those situations. But we are commissioned to
24:28
Speaker 1: do what we do.
24:29
Speaker 2: Amen.
24:30
Speaker 1: And when we are in the Body of Christ and
24:33
Speaker 1: we're a church or we're in a house of worship,
24:36
Speaker 1: the leadership, the pastors, the apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers, and
24:41
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be equipping the saints to go do
24:44
Speaker 1: the works of the ministry. That's a beautiful thing to
24:47
Speaker 1: see when we're being charged, when we're being inspired, when
24:52
Speaker 1: we're being encouraged, when we're given the Gospel message, and
24:56
Speaker 1: that we're being taught how to apply the Gospel message
24:59
Speaker 1: in our life.
25:00
Speaker 2: Right, we know why?
25:02
Speaker 1: Now I think it's time for how how do we
25:05
Speaker 1: do what we know? We know the reason why Jesus came.
25:09
Speaker 1: He came to save the world, not to condemn the world,
25:12
Speaker 1: but to save the world. We know why he came
25:14
Speaker 1: because he's God and he's love, because it was a
25:18
Speaker 1: mercy a mercy rescue mission.
25:21
Speaker 2: Amen. And now we know that we're under the grace
25:24
Speaker 2: of God.
25:25
Speaker 1: But now how do you do that? How are we
25:27
Speaker 1: equipped to go and preach the gospel?
25:30
Speaker 2: Amen?
25:33
Speaker 1: So here's the challenge that I have. Start a spiritual
25:36
Speaker 1: conversation today with somebody, and doesn't have to be necessarily
25:40
Speaker 1: about directly to the gospel message, but start a spiritual conversation.
25:45
Speaker 1: And a spiritual conversation is how are you doing today?
25:48
Speaker 1: Because now you're going to somebody's world, be prepared for
25:52
Speaker 1: them to give you an answer, and you could bring
25:54
Speaker 1: the love and mercy grace of God through your answer
25:58
Speaker 1: and through your concern. How about to share a gospel
26:01
Speaker 1: message on social media like I'm doing. It could be
26:04
Speaker 1: not it doesn't have to be this format and this long.
26:06
Speaker 1: It could be get on there, say God loves you,
26:09
Speaker 1: God bless you, and that's it, and invite somebody to
26:12
Speaker 1: church or to a Bible study or to a morning devo.
26:15
Speaker 1: It's my challenge for you this week.
26:17
Speaker 2: Amen. Yeah.
26:20
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be here man for a little bit.
26:23
Speaker 1: I think I'm traveling this week but I've saw things.
26:26
Speaker 1: I'll try to bring my laptop wherever I'm at and
26:29
Speaker 1: will continue to have these morning sessions. Amen, So thank
26:32
Speaker 1: you so much for coming through. God bless you all,
26:34
Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
26:39
Speaker 2: Peace.
