- 2:33Speaker 1: viruses and all the stuff that's hitting us, man, and
- 2:36Speaker 1: that's temporary, too soon and soon enough, hey man, we
- 2:40Speaker 1: won't have any sickness, no disease, none of that. But
- 2:43Speaker 1: in the meantime, it's continued to love one another, pray
- 2:45Speaker 1: for one another, and know that there's no weapon that
- 2:48Speaker 1: formed against us that will ever prosper on this side
- 2:52Speaker 1: of eternity. We have God. Now, we have salvation. Now,
- 2:55Speaker 1: we have annointing. Now we have blessings. Now, we have
- 2:59Speaker 1: confidence in Christ now right, So we have a now
- 3:03Speaker 1: God doing a now thing. We have an eternal ending.
- 3:07Speaker 1: We know the end, Amen, and it starts with Jesus.
- 3:11Speaker 1: So let's pray first. After we prayer, we shut us
- 3:13Speaker 1: out for like sixty seconds, and then after those sixty
- 3:16Speaker 1: seconds we'll get right into today's scripture, which is actually
- 3:20Speaker 1: Roman chapter eight, verse number eighteen. So get your Bible
- 3:23Speaker 1: apps ready. Your Bible is ready. If you're live that

- 3:37Speaker 1: your grace, your mercy, You're never ending, love endures forever,
- 3:42Speaker 1: your eternal perspective, your eternal life, your eternal ways that
- 3:47Speaker 1: you give us a lot. God, thank you for writing
- 3:49Speaker 1: eternity on our hearts. Our pray. Lord God, favor hadge,
- 3:53Speaker 1: your protection, blessing beyond measure over our lives, through our lives,
- 3:57Speaker 1: in our lives, and surround us with a great cloud
- 4:01Speaker 1: of witnesses, of people who believe in You, who will
- 4:04Speaker 1: empower and encourage one another, so that we could go
- 4:07Speaker 1: out in this world even with the trials and the troubles, tribulations,
- 4:11Speaker 1: whatever happens, Lord God, we will trust. We were hoping you,
- 4:14Speaker 1: trusting you, believe in you, have faith in you, and
- 4:18Speaker 1: move in you through you. Thank you, Lord God, that
- 4:21Speaker 1: we are one with you, and that you created a
- 4:23Speaker 1: new thing in our hearts and our minds. And we smile,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and we go ahead in victory, and we walk proudly
- 4:28Speaker 1: and confidently with our chest out, not arrogantly, but humbly,
- 4:33Speaker 1: knowing that you are our God, our Lord, and our
- 4:36Speaker 1: Savior and our King. I bless all those who are
- 4:39Speaker 1: listening and watching right now. Thank you, Lord God for
- 4:43Speaker 1: bringing them and gathering us together. And Jesus holy name,
- 4:46Speaker 1: I praise by faith and all those who agree. We
- 4:49Speaker 1: say amen to the amen. So let's go for it. Man,
- 4:52Speaker 1: sixty seconds. Help me share this out. When we come back,
- 4:54Speaker 1: we'll get right into Romans, chapter number eight, verse number eighteen.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Us, USA, US.
- 6:12Speaker 1: We're back. We're back. Let's go for it, ladies and gentlemen,
- 6:16Speaker 1: let's go for it. Let's get this on the screen
- 6:19Speaker 1: so that way we can see the scripture for ourselves.
- 6:22Speaker 1: And just in case you need to verify that what
- 6:24Speaker 1: I'm saying is not all caps, not exaggerated. It's not
- 6:28Speaker 1: I'm stretching things. No, it's literally in the scriptures about
- 6:31Speaker 1: this eternal ending, this concept of eternity, that we should
- 6:34Speaker 1: be thinking way past our current situation. I'm not saying
- 6:39Speaker 1: not to be present or to do some kind of
- 6:41Speaker 1: denial and act like we're just an illusion. Some people
- 6:44Speaker 1: actually think this is all an illusion, you know, some
- 6:47Speaker 1: people actually think that way. They say we're just an illusion.
- 6:50Speaker 1: It's not even real. We're just spirit beings. You know.
- 6:54Speaker 1: I hear all this stuff, but the scriptures don't say that,
- 6:58Speaker 1: so I know for sure they're not basing their ideas
- 7:01Speaker 1: on the scripture. That basing the ideas on literature or
- 7:05Speaker 1: findings and teachings that they're learning, and they could do
- 7:09Speaker 1: whatever they want, right, they could learn however they want
- 7:11Speaker 1: to learn. But that's not in the scriptures. We're gonna read, actually,
- 7:14Speaker 1: out of the scriptures in the Book of Romans, chapter
- 7:17Speaker 1: number eight, verse number eighteen. Let me get this already.
- 7:20Speaker 1: The men said that way, we could go ahead and
- 7:22Speaker 1: go for it and learn from what the scriptures are saying.
- 7:26Speaker 1: And you know, my authority is the scriptures, right, hopefully
- 7:33Speaker 1: authority is the scriptures as well. I'm just saying that
- 7:36Speaker 1: would be a beautiful thing. Okay, So let me see.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I guess I was supposed to do it the other way.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Let's see that goes here, and let's present. Let's go
- 7:52Speaker 1: ahead and present, ladies and gentlemen. And I thought I
- 7:55Speaker 1: had it ready. Here we go, hopefully you see that
- 8:03Speaker 1: eternal ending. Man, it gets better, like it's not over,
- 8:09Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, it gets better. Let's go forward all right,
- 8:18Speaker 1: eternal ending. This is a scripture Romans eight, verse number eighteen.
- 8:25Speaker 1: For I consider from the standpoint of faith. Right, this
- 8:31Speaker 1: is about the standpoint of faith that the sufferings plural
- 8:37Speaker 1: of the present life are not worthy to be compared
- 8:43Speaker 1: with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And let us listen to this and in us, come on, man,
- 8:55Speaker 1: the glory that is about to be revealed to us,
- 8:59Speaker 1: and in us about you, It's gonna happen. Amen, We're
- 9:04Speaker 1: carrying glory right now. But there's more. We're gonna see
- 9:08Speaker 1: the glory of God. And we're gonna see the glory
- 9:15Speaker 1: of God in us because we're gonna be transformed into
- 9:19Speaker 1: a heavenly body. Right. That should be exciting to some people.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Some people are like, nah, no, way, it is impossible.
- 9:27Speaker 1: This is all it. And I'm telling you, no, this
- 9:31Speaker 1: is not all it. There's more, Amen, and we're gonna
- 9:34Speaker 1: experience that more coming soon. Right. But the one says
- 9:40Speaker 1: you keep freezing and you sound little, just I tell you, okay, yeah,
- 9:45Speaker 1: I'm on location and I'm actually working through what you
- 9:50Speaker 1: call it my hotspot. Don't have Wi Fi listen where
- 9:57Speaker 1: I'm staying the Wi Fi. You have to pay fifteen
- 10:02Speaker 1: dollars or thirty dollars a day, something crazy. So I said, listen, man,
- 10:05Speaker 1: I ain't paying fifteen dollars a day for no Wi Fi.
- 10:08Speaker 1: So I was relying on my phone here, ay man,
- 10:13Speaker 1: to get it going. So let me free up some resources.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Thank you, brother one for letting me know. But yeah,
- 10:19Speaker 1: that's because we're on two bars on a hot spot.
- 10:25Speaker 1: So we're struggling a little bit here. Thank you so
- 10:28Speaker 1: much for letting me know. So that's what we have, man,
- 10:30Speaker 1: we have this eternal perspective. We think different. Man, at
- 10:37Speaker 1: least we should be thinking different. So let me get
- 10:43Speaker 1: to my notes here. Let me get to my notes.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So we know the end of the story. I mean,
- 10:53Speaker 1: if you read your scriptures, you know that this is
- 10:56Speaker 1: not the end. Nope, this this is This is a
- 11:02Speaker 1: powerful thing to understand. Like knowing that this is not
- 11:05Speaker 1: the end. We live differently. When when loved one passes away,
- 11:11Speaker 1: we mourn differently. When trials come into our lives, we
- 11:17Speaker 1: go through those trials differently. When we have financial problems,
- 11:22Speaker 1: relational problems, we move differently. Because we have an eternal
- 11:28Speaker 1: perspective and we have an eternal ending. We know this
- 11:31Speaker 1: is not it. Our atheist friends say, yeah, you just
- 11:34Speaker 1: live die, You live suffering, you die, and that's it.
- 11:38Speaker 1: There is no God, there is no heaven, there is
- 11:40Speaker 1: no hell, there is no nothing. So they're living without
- 11:44Speaker 1: hope because they choose live without hope. The thing about
- 11:48Speaker 1: atheists is that it's not that they can't believe, right,
- 11:53Speaker 1: because there's enough evidence to believe if they're honest, there's
- 11:56Speaker 1: enough evidence to believe in the creative God, creative being,
- 12:01Speaker 1: ultimate being. But they are not willing. They're not willing
- 12:07Speaker 1: to believe. It's a heart issue by because that a
- 12:12Speaker 1: hardened heart. So you have to just show love. They're
- 12:17Speaker 1: smart enough to convince themselves that there is no God,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and we're not smart enough to convince ourselves that there's
- 12:26Speaker 1: no God. You can't convince me to be an atheist.
- 12:31Speaker 1: You can't, like my friend says God, follow his name's
- 12:39Speaker 1: escaping me now. But he has podcasts and I'm going
- 12:46Speaker 1: to probably get the podcast name wrong. I'm thinking, now,
- 12:50Speaker 1: you can't convince them to be an atheist. I'm paraphrasing.
- 12:54Speaker 1: And man podcast is powerful. He goes through college campuses
- 13:00Speaker 1: and you know he teaches debates because lecturers preaches at churches.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Sometimes a man it's called I don't have enough faith
- 13:12Speaker 1: to be an atheist, something like that. It's amazing his
- 13:16Speaker 1: name is escaping right now. But a man, if I remember,
- 13:20Speaker 1: I'll let you know during this podcast. So Jesus knew,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and some people think Jesus didn't know who he was.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Didn't because of the scripture that says not even the
- 13:34Speaker 1: son of Man knows the time or a day of
- 13:38Speaker 1: the end. But that's another study. It's deeper than what
- 13:43Speaker 1: people think. When he said that. They say, look, Jesus
- 13:47Speaker 1: didn't even know, and I don't know. That's uh that
- 13:53Speaker 1: that will cause another discussion. But people think that when
- 13:57Speaker 1: Jesus said that, it means that he was unsure of himself.
- 14:00Speaker 1: He didn't know who he was. He didn't know he
- 14:03Speaker 1: was God, and he didn't know what God was gonna
- 14:06Speaker 1: do towards the end. But Jesus knows. But that's a
- 14:10Speaker 1: different discussion. Jesus knew the resurrection was coming, right, he
- 14:14Speaker 1: knew he was gonna be bodily raised. So as believers,
- 14:18Speaker 1: as children of God, as Christ's followers, we also live
- 14:25Speaker 1: with the hope of resurrection and restoration. People say, you
- 14:29Speaker 1: won't know if you're saved now. I heard a Christian
- 14:32Speaker 1: prayer a preacher, a Christian preacher say this the other day.
- 14:35Speaker 1: We won't know if we're saved until we open our
- 14:39Speaker 1: eyes and heaven. Weird when the Bible clearly says that
- 14:43Speaker 1: you can know that you are saved on this side
- 14:48Speaker 1: of eternity, like we have salvation now. So I don't
- 14:51Speaker 1: know what that preacher was talking about. That you are
- 14:54Speaker 1: unsure until you die and then you wake up in heaven.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Be careful who you're listening to, including me, if I
- 15:01Speaker 1: go road, Lord, God forbid, you know, check the scriptures
- 15:05Speaker 1: against what what I'm saying. Amen, and it doesn't if
- 15:08Speaker 1: it doesn't hit your spirit and you don't see it
- 15:11Speaker 1: in the scriptures with me in love and just say listen,
- 15:15Speaker 1: you're a little off on that, and it's okay. I'm
- 15:17Speaker 1: willing to learn. I'm not like those other people that
- 15:20Speaker 1: they refuse to be corrected, They refuse to learn from
- 15:24Speaker 1: others because they feel like they are on some kind
- 15:26Speaker 1: of higher level all by themselves with some other higher
- 15:30Speaker 1: level preachers. I don't know what that's all about. I'm
- 15:33Speaker 1: not on that train. And I probably will never get
- 15:37Speaker 1: on that train. The world is not our final home.
- 15:41Speaker 1: The trials here won't ever compare to the glory ahead.
- 15:47Speaker 1: So when we view life through Eternity's lenses, through the
- 15:53Speaker 1: eyes of Eternity, because we have Christ's Holy Spirit living
- 15:57Speaker 1: inside of us, we handle bad news not with like,
- 16:02Speaker 1: oh my God, this is it now. We handle it
- 16:05Speaker 1: with hope because we know that there's more to the
- 16:10Speaker 1: ending story, because the ending is according to how God
- 16:15Speaker 1: wants it to end, or wants things to happen, things
- 16:18Speaker 1: to be. Jesus didn't just endure the cross. Listen closely.
- 16:25Speaker 1: He didn't just get on the cross and just endued across.
- 16:31Speaker 1: He actually conquered the cross. He conquered sin, he conquered death.
- 16:38Speaker 1: So we're serving a conquering king, and we are more
- 16:42Speaker 1: than conquerors through this conquering King, who gives us the power,
- 16:47Speaker 1: who gives us the authority to be called his. So
- 16:53Speaker 1: on that cross, some of my friends think that was it.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Some systems say that was it for Jesus, and we
- 17:04Speaker 1: as believers, we have an eternal perspective about it, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: we know that he rose from the grave because of
- 17:12Speaker 1: the eyewitness accounts that we see in the scriptures. He
- 17:16Speaker 1: conquered the grave, he conquered the cross, he conquered sin,
- 17:20Speaker 1: conquered death. Amen. He literally on the cross said, Father,
- 17:25Speaker 1: forgive them, for they do not know what they do.
- 17:29Speaker 1: And people said, oh, yeah, that must have been just
- 17:31Speaker 1: all the people that were there. No, he meant that
- 17:33Speaker 1: for eternity everybody. Father, forgive them, those that are here now,
- 17:40Speaker 1: those who were there then, and those who are coming. Father,
- 17:45Speaker 1: forgive them. And what do you think happened when Jesus
- 17:47Speaker 1: said that in lacross? You think that was like lay
- 17:51Speaker 1: away plan. Okay, let's wait for the forgiveness. I think
- 17:55Speaker 1: Jesus and the Father being one, I think that forgiveness,
- 17:59Speaker 1: that forgiveness was put out there. So it could it
- 18:03Speaker 1: be that we're already forgiven, right and the hardest part
- 18:08Speaker 1: about being forgiven is forgiving ourselves. Could it be? It's
- 18:12Speaker 1: a question. And because of Jesus living conquering death, we
- 18:20Speaker 1: also are alive in Christ. So guess what it's conquered
- 18:25Speaker 1: at our end, the last enemy, death is conquered. He lives,
- 18:33Speaker 1: We live. No separation. Man, It's a lot, It's a lot.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Jesus promised that he would never leave us, nor forsake us, right,
- 18:48Speaker 1: he who's thirteen and five. Jesus says, all things work
- 18:52Speaker 1: together for good. The apostle Paul said that, but it's
- 18:56Speaker 1: inspired by Holy Spirit, and I believe that would be
- 18:59Speaker 1: the Lord's speaking through the apostle. All things work together
- 19:04Speaker 1: for good for those who love him. Man that's in
- 19:09Speaker 1: roment Is eight twenty eight. About this one, Jesus will
- 19:15Speaker 1: wipe away every tear. Have you ever cried? Been like
- 19:19Speaker 1: out there? I know in the world that we live,
- 19:22Speaker 1: a lot of preachers say never let the world see
- 19:25Speaker 1: you sweat. And I'm like man Jesus saw he revealed
- 19:29Speaker 1: his sweating in the garden of Gothsemite. He cried for
- 19:34Speaker 1: his friend Lazarus. So I'm gonna follow the teachings of
- 19:37Speaker 1: the Lord and all those sayings and all the other stuff.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I was just put that by the wayside. But the
- 19:42Speaker 1: one says, remember that part. I got a question for
- 19:45Speaker 1: when I see you tonight, if you're there. I won't
- 19:48Speaker 1: be there tonight, brother, I'm on location. I'm in another state.
- 19:54Speaker 1: But amen, but you could we could chop it up
- 19:57Speaker 1: later through the phone. Ain't mean if you have a
- 19:59Speaker 1: question or yeah, So Lord willing, I should be back
- 20:04Speaker 1: in the area on Friday, Thursday night Friday morning. Thank
- 20:08Speaker 1: you amen for asking. So he will wipe away every
- 20:14Speaker 1: tier Revelation twenty one and four. So knowing these things,
- 20:19Speaker 1: putting them all together, knowing that God is faithful, knowing
- 20:23Speaker 1: that he's real, knowing that he rose again, knowing that
- 20:25Speaker 1: he's alive, knowing that he promised to come back, all
- 20:28Speaker 1: of it. It's good. That's an eternal perspective. We have
- 20:34Speaker 1: an eternal ending. This is a song that says my
- 20:37Speaker 1: life is not my own, and I really believe that. Amen.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Not that we can't make decisions, We're not robots. It's
- 20:47Speaker 1: just that we know that this is all rental rental.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Our bodies are rentals, Amen, we were given this. I
- 20:55Speaker 1: don't know anybody out there that can say that, Oh yeah,
- 20:58Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna be a male or a female.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna be in this family that family.
- 21:03Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna be working this way or
- 21:06Speaker 1: doing that. Nobody knew. We all came the same way,
- 21:09Speaker 1: and the passage way was through the mother's womb, and
- 21:12Speaker 1: we didn't know who we were, and they didn't know
- 21:14Speaker 1: who we were until we were birthed, and then they
- 21:17Speaker 1: named us, trained us, taught us, raised us, and then
- 21:21Speaker 1: we became who we are later on in life and
- 21:25Speaker 1: started knowing who we were. So nobody could say, oh,
- 21:29Speaker 1: I knew what was gonna happen before it happened. Nobody
- 21:33Speaker 1: could say I knew who I was gonna be before
- 21:35Speaker 1: I became. Nobody could say that. So sometimes I get
- 21:39Speaker 1: a little slick with my question. I always sometimes I
- 21:42Speaker 1: ask people when did you own yourself before you were
- 21:46Speaker 1: born or after you were born? Because people say I'm
- 21:48Speaker 1: in total control of my life, and I will ask, really,
- 21:52Speaker 1: when were you in control of your life before you
- 21:54Speaker 1: were born or after you were born? They look at you,
- 21:56Speaker 1: they look at me strangely because it's a trap because
- 22:00Speaker 1: whether you say either or it's not true, we're not.
- 22:03Speaker 1: If I was in control my life, man, listen, if
- 22:08Speaker 1: I can make all the decisions happen in my life,
- 22:11Speaker 1: I would be living differently right now, financially at least
- 22:14Speaker 1: right I will never get sick. That's the number two. Amen. Okay,
- 22:19Speaker 1: just give me a call my bro. So man, so
- 22:24Speaker 1: what we suffer now is we will suffer. It's like
- 22:29Speaker 1: every time I say it, I'm like, man, do we
- 22:30Speaker 1: have to? Well, we're in a broken system, broken world.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Jesus promised it. But he also promised to be with
- 22:38Speaker 1: us through the suffering. That's that's the kicker of the
- 22:41Speaker 1: God that we serve and the gods of these other religions.
- 22:45Speaker 1: God that we serve is with us through the suffering,
- 22:48Speaker 1: through the trial, through everything, through it all. Amen, we're
- 22:53Speaker 1: never alone. We are always in Christ, and Christ is
- 22:56Speaker 1: always in us, and we work through things together. Amen.
- 23:00Speaker 1: When the storms come, sometimes God will remove the storm,
- 23:03Speaker 1: or he'll allow the storm to keep, to stay there
- 23:06Speaker 1: and show us how to navigate through the storm. Man,
- 23:10Speaker 1: we're learning, we're growing, So he's not gonna make spoiled
- 23:14Speaker 1: brats out of us. And every time a situation comes,
- 23:17Speaker 1: he's just gonna ripe it away or get it away.
- 23:21Speaker 1: You know, He's gonna be there with us through it
- 23:24Speaker 1: all and not make a self self reliant. I'm dependent
- 23:29Speaker 1: on God. I'm not independent. I'm dependent on God. So
- 23:33Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be Oh, I got it. I don't
- 23:36Speaker 1: need God. That's not gonna never be coming out of
- 23:39Speaker 1: my mouth, because once that happens, that means I'm making
- 23:42Speaker 1: myself God, and we all know that's not gonna happen.
- 23:45Speaker 1: That's not gonna work. Man, if you're trying to do
- 23:47Speaker 1: that for yourself, that's not gonna work. People who say
- 23:51Speaker 1: I'm a self made man, I'm a self made woman.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I did this and I did that. Be careful with
- 23:56Speaker 1: those types of people because they think that they don't
- 23:59Speaker 1: need a hire creator being over their lives. They think
- 24:04Speaker 1: they could do it all by themselves. And people like
- 24:07Speaker 1: that are going to fall fast because it's called arrogant arrogance.
- 24:11Speaker 1: It's called pride that stay humble, right, show some humility.
- 24:16Speaker 1: You might be successful in certain things, that's great, and men,
- 24:20Speaker 1: make sure you're helping others to be successful. Don't be
- 24:23Speaker 1: the only one in your crowd. Don't be the only
- 24:25Speaker 1: one in your group. Don't be the only one in
- 24:27Speaker 1: your church that's successful, and then everybody else is struggling.
- 24:31Speaker 1: And you have a way to success. Teach that ways
- 24:34Speaker 1: to success. Amen. I make sure I hang around people
- 24:38Speaker 1: that are successful so I can learn from them, not
- 24:41Speaker 1: just wish man, I wish I had what they had. No,
- 24:43Speaker 1: they're actually help me to get to where they're at. Amen,
- 24:48Speaker 1: And that's what a believer should do. We should be
- 24:50Speaker 1: helping each other raise up, rise up to the occasion. Amen.
- 24:55Speaker 1: And if we find a brother struggling in a certain
- 24:57Speaker 1: situation or a sister certain struggling in certain situation, we
- 25:00Speaker 1: should be able to help them and man through love,
- 25:03Speaker 1: through grace, through mercy, through the world, through prayer, through
- 25:07Speaker 1: other communities. A men that believe in Christ and I
- 25:09Speaker 1: fill with holy ghosts, we should be helping one another.
- 25:13Speaker 1: We have an eternal ending, but we have a temporary
- 25:15Speaker 1: time that we're with one another. Right and those who
- 25:18Speaker 1: are struggling, We're going to preach the Gospel to those
- 25:21Speaker 1: who need Jesus, which I believe is everybody. People, young,
- 25:25Speaker 1: old people, my family, your frien. I think everybody needs
- 25:28Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. People make their own decisions, but I
- 25:32Speaker 1: truly believe that we all need the Lord and his
- 25:35Speaker 1: salvation power and his love and his grace and it's
- 25:37Speaker 1: mercy and his power. Amen. We need him. So even
- 25:45Speaker 1: when we can't see it now, when things are happening
- 25:47Speaker 1: in life and we can't see that ending, we just
- 25:51Speaker 1: could really humble ourselves and know that God knows the ending,
- 25:57Speaker 1: He knows the eternal ending. He knows what's gonna happen
- 26:00Speaker 1: before it happens. So if something is allowed to happen
- 26:05Speaker 1: in my life, that's not good, that's bad. I'm always thinking,
- 26:09Speaker 1: well God knew it. Then surprise God, and he has
- 26:13Speaker 1: something in there that he wants to get done. That's
- 26:16Speaker 1: how I always think. Amen, it's something that God wants
- 26:19Speaker 1: to do that's gonna be glorifying him. And I might
- 26:26Speaker 1: not understand it, probably won't understand it. But what I
- 26:30Speaker 1: do understand is that God has an eternal ending for
- 26:33Speaker 1: my life and for your life. So the emphasis today
- 26:38Speaker 1: in Romans chapter eight and eighteen, we're gonna suffer now,
- 26:44Speaker 1: but compared to the glory later, a man's gonna be
- 26:48Speaker 1: all worth it. So that means don't give up, don't
- 26:51Speaker 1: give in right, don't stand down, stand up right and
- 26:57Speaker 1: represent for the Kingdom of God, because you have an
- 27:00Speaker 1: eternal perspective and you know that we have an eternal ending.
- 27:03Speaker 1: So listen. I'm out of time here. Amen. Thank you
- 27:07Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with me and being patient
- 27:09Speaker 1: with me as I'm out here on the road. Amen,
- 27:12Speaker 1: and have this little mobile set up. Can't get to
- 27:15Speaker 1: sound right, it's a little low. Amen. Bear with me.
- 27:18Speaker 1: I should be back in the studio soon, but thank
- 27:21Speaker 1: you so much for hanging out with me for these
- 27:23Speaker 1: morning DeVos. I try to do these Mondays to Friday
- 27:26Speaker 1: friat thirty am me since standing time. I don't know

- 27:40Speaker 1: is good. Peace,
