Results of trusting God (part 5) [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

0:03
Good morning family, Good morning God, blessed you. Welcome back to the
0:06
morning Devot. And that's your brother Sam Lopez. I get a DJ,
0:10
Sam Rock, and I'm struggling right here with a little code that I have,
0:18
so excuse me. I'm going to rasp me this in my voice.
0:22
But we get to push through. Hey man, and I'm gonna try to
0:25
get this done. This one is called Results of Trusting God. This is
0:30
part number five, the last part of a five part series that man,
0:34
it took longer than usual just because of life and traveling and time with family.
0:40
But this is part five. This is where I wanted to end with
0:44
this series, Results of Trusting God. This is part five. We noticed
0:49
that there's the results in trusting God. What's in it for you? When
0:53
you are trusting and putting your hope and faith in the true, living,
0:56
holy, righteous, loving God? What's in it for you? Right?
1:00
I know it sounds selfish, but it's a question that everybody asks, So
1:03
why not ask the question? What is it? What's the results of trusting
1:08
in God? And we went through four. It is the fifth one the
1:14
four that we went through. As a recap for those who miss the series,
1:17
you could go back and start from part one of this series. The
1:21
first one is excuse me, is protection. Protection, second one is gladness.
1:32
The third word is peace, the fourth is blessing. And today we're
1:36
going to talk about confidence, the confidence that God gives us when we trust
1:42
in him, an amazing confidence. Some people call it gonfidence, but it's
1:48
confidence, Amen. And his word and his love and his grace and his
1:52
mercy and his power and his protection and his Hoping in God never disappoints.
1:59
I'll just put it that to make it short. Hoping in the Lord never
2:01
disappoints. You will never be disappointed when you put your whole faith in trust
2:06
in the Living God. He's an amazing God. He does it all because
2:10
he wants to, not because he has to, because he wants to.
2:15
And why what causes God to do these wonderful, miraculous things for us His
2:21
love, because by definition God is love. In essence, God is love,
2:27
Amen, and that's a powerful thing. Man. So let me just
2:30
share this real quickly to my group so that way they know we're here.
2:35
Amen. On the blaze Barber Studies groups and boom, there you go.
2:42
So we're here. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
2:45
or any prayer requests. My prayer request for you for me a man,
2:49
would be to help me to get over this chest cold that I have been
2:53
fighting for a couple of days. Amen. So my voice to be cleared
2:57
up, Amen, and I feel a little better. Amen, unselfish,
3:00
plug right, and I'll be praying for you and your family as well.
3:04
So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
3:07
don't hesitate to leave it all. The live chat from wherever you're watching
3:12
or listening to this from should be a way to connect with us here on
3:16
these platforms. Amen. Answer that way, we could stay in connection and
3:22
stay in contact with each other because that's what God wants us to do anyway.
3:25
Amen. He wants us to be in communication with Him first and communication
3:30
with one another. Right, And that's the best way we could get this
3:34
confidence and knowing what we know and knowing who we know through Christ Jesus,
3:38
a man who gives us the strength, who gives us the strength to get
3:42
everything that He wants to done through our lives. And we can have confidence
3:46
in that. Amen. So the role here was trusting God shows confidence that
3:53
his timing. His timing, not my timing, not your timing, but
3:57
his timing is perfect. How many people have been in a time where they
4:02
desperately needed God to respond, or to react, or to really get involved
4:11
a man with what's going on in our lives. Right, I've been there,
4:15
You've been there, and the timing seems off right, It seems like
4:18
God, I needed you yesterday. We see it in the scripture when Lazarus,
4:24
a friend of Jesus, dies, and their sisters are like, Jesus,
4:27
where were you? And Jesus comes after the fact. But notice that
4:31
Jesus came right on time to raise Lazarus from the dead and to show Lazarus's
4:40
family, his sisters, and all those who were there present and till this
4:44
very day. We know because we see the story that he came right on
4:46
time. Jesus, God shows up on time. His time maings perfect.
4:54
We're gonna be in Psalms chapter one hundred and twelve, Verse number seven,
4:58
Psalms one twelve, number seven on today's morning devo with your bro Sam Lopez.
5:02
So let's pray first. After we pray, we'll share this out for
5:05
like sixty seconds. And on the other side, of those sixty seconds will
5:09
get right into today's morning Devo. So Lloyd God, I thank you so
5:13
much for today. I thank you, Lord God that I'm already feeling my
5:15
chest clear up and my voice clear up. Thank you so much for your
5:18
power, of your healing power. I pray the same healing power over every
5:23
single person that's listening and watching right now. Who's connecting now, who will
5:26
connect later, who will listen later, who will watch later? Amen,
5:30
a blessing, a hedge of protection over me and my family, them and
5:32
their families as well. In Jesus' name, I pray Lord God, the
5:36
arkmen angels, the minister angels, the warring angels, to annihilate every single
5:41
tactic of the enemy, every plan, and the enemy will be canceled by
5:45
the power of your word, by the power of your grace, mercy and
5:47
love, and who you are by way of your spirit. I thank you,
5:50
Lord God, that the results of trusting in You gives us all confidence
5:55
in knowing that You are the true, living, holy, righteous, loving
5:58
God that we serve. Thank you, Lord God for saving, rescuing,
6:01
for responding, for restoring, for redeeming, for reacting. Amen, in
6:05
our lives and I thank you, Love God for your holy spirit that leads
6:10
us into all truth on a day to day basis. So I pray look
6:14
God for every single person that's listening on watching that they will get a real
6:19
real sense of confidence knowing that they could put their whole faith and trust in
6:26
You. In Jesus Name, I prayed this with thanksgiving, knowing that you
6:29
hear these prayers and you answer them according to your purpose and plan for each
6:32
and every individual person in their lives as well. In Jesus Name. And
6:38
those who agree, we say amen and amen. So let's go for it.
6:41
Let's take them innute. Help me share this out. If you know
6:43
people right now that are not on social media for whatever reason, for good
6:46
reasons, you can send them straight to my YouTube page which is Dj sam

7:00
we're live, that's that's the actual website to go where we're live to catch
7:05
up on replacing all that and everything that's happening with the Celebrator network. And
7:09
so when is ministry, So when is with a Zeta orgy is to go
7:13
to links. I'll be right back. Hey man, we're back. We're
8:43
back. Let's see what the Lord has for us today by way of his
8:46
word. We're calling this one Confidence and this is the series the Results of
8:52
Trusting God. This is part number five of a five part series. Because
8:56
I knew that we had to take a break off the regular things that we
9:01
were doing, even though there's nothing really regular when it comes to the Word
9:03
of God. But usually I would go through a series of things of different
9:09
topics that God would give me. And he prompted me to take a moment
9:13
in time to just people, concluding myself, wanted to know what are the
9:18
results of trusting in God? What's the benefits? In other words, what's
9:24
going on here? Like why should I put my whole faith and trust in
9:28
God. Well, there's five reasons that I could see from the scriptures,
9:33
and five results are protection, gladness, peace, blessing, and today we're
9:39
talking about confidence. Psalm Chatter one hundred and twelve, Verse number seven.
9:43
Let me get this ready prepared for the screen for those who are listening.
9:46
Welcome back to the radio network, and welcome back to the podcast. Thank
9:50
you so much for listening. I see the numbers. It gives me more
9:52
confidence and to know and more hope and realize that people are still seeking the
9:58
Lord g People are still seeking truth. People are still wanting the Word of
10:03
God. Amen. And they're not resisting as much as I thought people will
10:07
be resisting the love of God, the hope of God, trusting in God
10:13
right, the Word of God, Holy Spirit God, Amen, that is
10:18
present in our days daily. And we say things a lot of people,
10:22
secluding myself, sometimes I say, you know that God will rest on us,
10:26
surround us and this kind of and third by his Holy Spirit. But
10:31
I realized, why am I asking God to surround me or to fill a
10:35
room when He's present in me and every living person who believes in the Lord
10:41
Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. We have Holy Spirit in us. Amen.
10:45
So we don't have to continue to ask Him to be surrounding us,
10:48
feeling us, filling our rooms and all this other stuff. Let's stick to
10:52
the word. Let's trust God. Let's have confidence in what He has done
10:56
and what He is doing daily, moment by moment in our lives personally and
11:01
corporately. Amen. So we don't have to, you know, continue to
11:05
beg for God's Holy Spirit, which is present in us, to be restoring
11:13
and rescuing us. And this, that and the third one. He's already
11:16
there present. I think what happens is we shut his voice down. We
11:20
shut his voice, and we are so concerned with other voices and other things
11:26
that we're not allowing the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit God to speak and be
11:31
heard in our lives. Amen. That could be. That could be it,
11:35
because I don't know why I ask for certain things sometimes myself, when
11:39
I know for sure that God and I have confidence in God being in me
11:45
the hope of glory and for God being and every single person who puts the
11:50
whole faith in trust in God, we have the hope of glory, which
11:52
is founding the Word of God. Amen. And I believe the word,
11:56
and I hope you believe the word too. So here we go Psalms,
12:00
Chapter one, seventeen, verse number seven. He will not fear bad news
12:05
as hard as step fast trusting. And here it is confidently relying on and
12:11
believing in the Lord. Now bad news is going to come, whoever is
12:18
telling you, because I've heard this being preached, and I heard this being
12:22
taught in circles of Christianity around the country and around the world that once you
12:26
have God, when bad news comes, they meant it would be eliminated and
12:33
it would be always good news. And that's not true. You could read
12:37
the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luken, John for yourself. There was
12:39
bad news coming by way of prophecy. There's bad news coming by way of
12:43
the Lord himself. When he said he was going to die and across to
12:48
the people right then and there, that's not good news. That's bad news.
12:52
But God knows the end result and it became good news. But he
12:56
the person who trusts in God, the person will not fear bad news right
13:03
his heart. And of course this is in the masculine woman. This includes
13:09
you mankind. His heart is steadfast, trusting, confidently, relying on and
13:16
believing in the Lord, not believing in a religion, not believing in a
13:20
system, not believing in some kind of organized church, but believing in the
13:26
Lord himself. Very important because a lot of people put their whole faith and
13:30
trust in idols. They put their whole faith and trust and systems. They
13:33
put their whole faith and trust in programs. They put their whole faith in
13:37
trust in churches and all that, But listen, when you have we need
13:43
this confidence. We need to rely and believe in the Lord himself. So
13:48
when bad news comes and then will come, we will we will not fear
13:52
that bad news, and we will have our heart focused and step fast.
13:56
We will have a trust and we will lie on the living Lord of the
14:01
Word. Amen. He's the living Word of God. He's the Lord Jesus.
14:05
So I don't know another way to explain that other than put your faith,
14:09
hope and trust in God. Amen, and realize that He's in us
14:15
and working through us daily, not just periodically, not just every week or
14:20
every weekend or weekdays during prayer services or whatever the case may be. All
14:24
those things are good to do. Go to prayer services. As a matter
14:28
of fact, why did I say that, Amen, Prayer services should be
14:33
lit. It should be like the most occupied day of the week or day
14:39
of the month. Prayer is key man. We're connecting and we're communicating with
14:43
the living, Holy, Righteous God, the chief cornerstone, the one who
14:48
we pray to, is the one who answers those prayers. So prayer meetings
14:52
and all that, Amen, should be popular. It should be around the
14:56
world popular, not just a certain circle of Christianity. It should be popular
15:03
every day every time. People should be showing up by the truckloads, by
15:07
the bust loads, Amen, onto these prayer meetings. But that's just something
15:11
that I don't know what happened with us as believers. And I'm pretty sure
15:16
there's still believers in Christ that pray. They get together and pray Amen,
15:22
and it takes two more. It doesn't take a lot. But in my
15:26
humble opinion, I think that should be key to getting together to pray to
15:31
the living, loving, holy, righteous God a man, so we could
15:35
get more confidence in who he is and what he's doing in our lives.
15:37
Bonus Scripture, Psalms chapter fifty six, verse number four. Psalms fifty six,
15:43
verse number four. The Bible says, in God, whose word I
15:48
praise, it goes praise. If you want confidence, praise God, praise
15:52
in God. I trust. I will not be afraid. What can mortal
15:58
man do to me? Good question? Amen, I will not be afraid.
16:03
And trusting in God gives you confidence that whatever bad news, whatever is
16:08
going on in this world a man, we're not supposed to be afraid of
16:11
those things, because the fear that the world is trying to put on us,
16:17
the fear that the enemy is trying to put on us. It's not
16:19
from the spirit of God. Fear is not given to us by God.
16:22
Amen. That's the spirit. The spirit of fear was not giving us by
16:26
God. So who did this fear come from? Came from the world system,
16:30
the less of the eyes, pride of life, Amen, and the
16:33
devil himself. So we're not going to be afraid. We're gonna have confidence
16:36
in what the Word of God says and what the Word of God is doing
16:38
in our lives. But the frank God, bless you, good morning,
16:41
my brother. Relying on my Lord is all real. I believe in Him
16:47
every single day. Amen. Yes, And you have more confidence knowing that
16:51
God is there. That God is Jehovah Shama, the God who is there,
16:53
the God who is here, to God who is everywhere, omnipresent God,
16:56
all powerful God. He has all authority an what he says happens right,
17:03
So we can have confidence in that. Thank you so much for the
17:06
comment, my brother and my friends. So the results of trusting in God
17:10
are amazing. Amen. You could read all through the scriptures, you could
17:14
read the story of Abraham, right he trusted God. God sent him to
17:18
places where he didn't even know where he was going. He just trusted in
17:22
the voice of God and relied on God, not on an opinion. He
17:26
didn't rely on a system. He said, Wow, I'm hearing from the
17:30
Lord, and I'm gonna trust God. And he went. Abraham. You
17:34
could read Genesis chapter seventeen, verses fifteen to nineteen that illustrates the confidence that
17:42
Abraham, the Father of our faith, had in the Lord. Amen.
17:47
So we could look at his life and be like, well, this was
17:48
a real man in a real situation, being spoken by a real God.
17:52
A man's being spoken to by a real God. And he left everything he
17:57
knew behind and went forward and went into unknown Serbritory because God told them to
18:03
go there. Amen. And because he went, he was now known.
18:07
He's now known as the Father of faith. I mean, he did what
18:10
God asked of him. Three young men. Remember that and Daniel chapter number
18:15
three. You could see what these three young men did, and how they
18:19
had confidence in the living, holy, righteous, loving God, and how
18:22
they didn't let fear get into their hearts and didn't let fear get into their
18:30
mind. But they did according to what God wanted them to do. And
18:33
now we read about them in the story in the Book of David chapter three.
18:38
How about the centurion soldier, Amen, and Matthew chapter eight, verses
18:44
five to ten. We see the centurion soldier just trusting in the Lord and
18:48
say, listen, if you do this, Lord, I know will be
18:51
done. Amen. I don't know. I hope that's the story, because
18:56
there's two stories I'm thinking of of. But the soldier that cut you Jesus
19:00
on the side and said truly, this is the son of God, or
19:03
the other centurion that's found in Matthew chapter eight, verses five to ten.
19:07
Let me go there real quick. I have a couple of minutes. Matthew
19:11
chapter What did I say, Matthew Chapter eight, five to ten. Let's
19:15
read it real quick. And this will give you confidence when you read the
19:18
Word and you read the stories about people in the Bible, Amen, that
19:25
literally trusted God. And then you see the blessing that they received by trusting
19:30
God. Those are the results of trusting God. Amen. And look at
19:33
this Matthew chapter eight, versus five to ten. Now, when Jesus had
19:41
entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him pleading him, with him saying,
19:48
Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed. Through the story, my
19:52
servant is at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented. And Jesus said to him,
19:57
I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord,
20:03
I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. But only speak
20:08
a word. Only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
20:14
You could also see the cross reference Psalm one oh seven, verse twenty,
20:18
verse nine. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under
20:25
me. And I say to this one, go and he goes. And
20:29
to another come and he comes. And to my servant, do this,
20:33
and he does it. So he knew about authority. So when Jesus heard
20:37
it, he marveled and said to those who followed assuredly, I say to
20:42
you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel verse
20:48
eleven. And I say to you, this is the Lord speaking. And
20:52
I say to you that many will come from east and west and sit down
20:56
with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven. But the sons
21:00
of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. But the sons of
21:06
the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness that will be weeping and gnashing
21:11
of teeth. Wow. So we see it here that dis Inturion had great
21:17
confidence in God and Jesus, knowing that all Jesus had to do is send
21:21
the word. He said, Noah, I don't come to my home because
21:23
you know my home it's not ready to fit. It's not fit for a
21:29
king, it's not fit for a savior. Amen. That's what the Centurian
21:32
was saying. To speak the word because he knew he had confidence in the
21:37
Lord Jesus. He had seen Jesus with his own eyes to perform miracles,
21:41
signs and wonders, and said, listen, if you just speak a word,
21:44
I know my servant at home will be healed in Jesus' name. Right.
21:48
So this is an amazing thing. When you trust in God, you
21:52
trust and the results of trusting in God today which one of my confidence boost
21:59
your confidence, not your ego. It boosts your confidence. We don't have
22:03
faith and faith. We have faith in the living, loving, holy,
22:04
righteous, loving God. He's alive. Amen, and he does what he
22:10
says he's going to do. When God promises you or me something, those
22:15
promises come to pass. It's not just like wishful thinking like a lot of
22:19
people think this is, or they think it's like, you know, imaginary
22:25
mystical stuff. No, this is real life situations, real life God,
22:29
a real life son, a real life father, a real life holy spirit.
22:33
Amen, that's living and is present. He is present in our day
22:37
today activities. Now we can resist that, and we could say, now,
22:42
God, I got this. I'll do it my way because you might
22:45
take too long, whatever situation you might be thinking you can do better than
22:49
God. Yeah, man, I'll be praying and I'll be praying. That
22:52
doesn't influence me at all either, because we could tend to do things on
22:57
our own and then give God credit later after we did what we did.
23:02
But I rather just trust God. A man stays still, and I know
23:06
there's a lot of things happening day to day. There's so much happening.
23:07
I need God day to day, a man. I need him in my
23:11
finances. I need him my health, I need him my marriage. I
23:14
need him with my children, I need him with my church family. I
23:17
need him every single day, Amen to keep me. So I have confidence
23:22
in Him. But I do things. I don't stay waiting and do nothing
23:26
and say, well, God got this, So all I gotta do is
23:29
sit here and wait. No I do while I'm waiting. And when I
23:33
need rest, Yeah, I rest in Christ. That's we could rest in
23:37
God, knowing that we can have confidence that when we go to God when
23:40
we're retired, he would give us rest, and that rest fills us up
23:42
with more energy, more zeal, more faith, and more confidence and knowing
23:48
that He is worth trusting. He is trustworthy. So we see the psalmis.
23:53
He said he won't have fear of bad news, a man indicator that
23:59
bad news can happen, and we will have bad news that we will hear
24:03
about, and we will be experiencing some bad stuff, but we're not supposed
24:07
to be afraid. Do not be afraid of the bad news. Why,
24:11
because we're step fast and trusting in the Lord. We're focused on the perfector
24:17
of our faith. He will never leave us. He will never forsake us.
24:19
He would never abandon us. He would never put us a shame.
24:22
He will never leave us in a stuck position. He will always give us
24:26
confidence to get back up and to move forward and the things that he wants
24:30
us to do and for the things that he wants us to accomplish. Have
24:33
you noticed that God calls you and me to do things that we know one
24:37
hundred percent we can't do it if He's not doing it through us. Hey,
24:41
man, Holy people could raise that. I mean, I know for
24:44
sure ninety nine something percent of the time when God speaks into my life,
24:49
I know that it's him number one, and I know that I can't do
24:52
it without him. So if God is asking you to do something today and
24:57
you know for sure that's God, and you know for sure you can't do
25:00
it on your own, then you have confidence and trust in Him. Do
25:03
not be afraid. Just move forward. A man to follow the example of
25:07
Abraham. When God told him to go into lands, uncharted worlds and uncharted
25:12
lands, he went, trusting and having confidence in God. When he told
25:18
Abraham to sacrifice his only son, he went and he did what God asked
25:23
of him to do. And you know the story. He was testing his
25:27
faith and when he found that his faith was trustworthy a man, God just
25:32
blessed him so abundantly. Man, it's an amazing story and an amazing life
25:37
that that man lived. Because we're still talking about him thousands of years later,
25:41
we're still talking about Abraham Peter. Remember Peter, he had confidence in
25:48
God and he had experienced the results of trusting in the Lord himself. A
25:52
man, Matthew Chapter fourteen, twenty four to thirty two. You could check
25:56
it out for yourself, A man. I'm running out of time here,
25:57
so I can't go to it. But it's all riddled through the scripture placid
26:02
all over the Bible. Man, reasons to trust God, the results of
26:07
trusting God, all from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from Genesis to
26:11
Revelation. Amen. These men and women of God showed us that God is
26:15
so trustworthy. So why wouldn't we think that when they trusted God back then,
26:21
and he was trustworthy back then, why would we think that he's not
26:23
trustworthy today? Put your whole faith and confidence in God. Amen, and
26:29
you will experience the results of trusting in God. And what were they?
26:33
The protection of God Psalm five or eleven Proverbs thirty five thirty verse five.
26:40
The protection of God is the results of trusting in God, the gladness of
26:44
God that we find in God Psalms chapter sixty four and ten. Amen,
26:49
also the peace of God. Listen, I wouldn't exchange the piece of God
26:55
for any amount of money you offer me. And you could give me one
26:56
hundred million dollars and say no peace, or ten dollars and say peace.
27:00
Listen, I say, keep your money on my peace. I don't care
27:03
if it's ten or ten million. The peace of God we see the Isaiah
27:07
chapter twenty six, verses three and four. How about this the blessing?
27:11
Who want to want to be blessed by God? And when we sing about
27:14
it, we talk about it, we preach about it. But do you
27:17
really want to receive the blessing? Put your hope, faith and trust in
27:19
him. You can see that in Isaiah twelve two, Isaiah twenty six,
27:23
three and four. The blessing excuse me. The blessing God is Psalm eighty
27:26
four to twelve Jeremiah seventeen seven, and today's is confidence Psalms one twelve,
27:33
verse number seven. So that's the five parts. Man. You can see
27:37
more in the scriptures for yourself. But I wanted to get you going by
27:41
at least five of the results of trusting in God. So I'm out of
27:45
time. God, bless you all. Thank you so much for hanging out
27:47
with me. For this morning DEVO. God bless you all, God keep
27:49
you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
