• 0:18
  Speaker 1: streams to go. We're looking at another platform to get
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this one in devo on Amen to get out the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: matrix of this kind of like tight social media algorithm
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: thing going on here. So a man so stay soon
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: for that, A man coming soon. So today we're going
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to talk about common challenges, how to overcome them, how
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to overcome them. You know, what I've realized about overcoming
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: challenges is that some people overcome and some people just
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: are challenged all their life. This is what I saw.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be a Christian to overcome challenges.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I know you know that already, right. I know we
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: can't be the only people on this planet Earth that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: are able to overcome challenges. But you have to be
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: alive in christ to be an overcomer. It's a big difference, man,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I hope you get that big difference. We have a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: lot more common than what you think. A lot of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: people say you Christians are this and you Christians are that,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not realizing that we have so much in common. Number one,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we are all made in the image of God. Number two,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we're in the same place called planet Earth. Number three,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we all face challenges. And I could go on and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: on and on the common knowledge, the common ground that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: we share is a lot a lot of common ground.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But overcome and common challenges means that either you're an
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: overcomer or you just over coming as they come, as
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: challenges come into your life. We're gonna explain that in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. First John chapter number five, Versus
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: four and five. And I know you see a lot
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: going on in this world. Earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things going on in our world. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: because of that, I believe that these are definitely the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: last days. Amen. I know you hear Christian senas all
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the time these are the last days, But I always
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: see it like this one day that I'm alive, it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: closer to my last day. What about you? My personal
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: last day is coming, Your personal last day is coming.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But the last days are here. Amen. So we have
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: challenges and we can overcome them by using the world's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: knowledge or we could be an overcomer by being alive
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in CHRISTI as a difference. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines, please don't hesitate
• 2:58

• 4:46
  Speaker 1: everyone in between. I pray the same prayer over every
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: single person that's watching or listening right now. And then,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: powerful name of Jesus, I pray, look, God that whatever's

• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and that when challenges come into our lives, I pray
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that you will help us to overcome these challenges, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not just by way of the world and the systems
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of this world, but by being alive in Christ Jesus,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: making us overcomers. And I pray this by faith, knowing
• 5:37

• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to every single individual person that's out there that needs
• 5:42

• 5:52
  Speaker 1: get right into today's morning devo overcoming common challenges. I'll
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: be right back. Let's go for it, ladies and gentlemen.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So much going on, man, and I know you see
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the news and you see on what's happening. You see
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the images on social media of wars out there Israel.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Iran people are dying, man, and people are facing challenges
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that man, we need to be pray for praying, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: we need to be having a praying life, for our families,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: for our friends, for those overseas, for those who we
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don't know, for those who are suffering and these wars.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You know, there's people that have no parts and they're
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in this parts of the world that they're not in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the war themselves personally, but they're facing a challenge right now.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So we should be praying. I know it's easy to say, oh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, Israel as the chosen people and this that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the third and we see it in the scriptures, But
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what about the people who don't know about the scriptures. Amen,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Let's pray that God will change their hearts. You know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: how to end the war, any war, Amen, change the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: hearts of the people, and God could change the hearts
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of the people. Prophecy is going to play itself out.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: But let's pray for the people who are unaware of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the prophecies. Let's pray for the people who don't know
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: how to overcome these challenges. Pray for the people who
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: don't believe in the loving, Holy, righteous God of Heaven
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and Earth. Amen, let's concene it. Pray or we take
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: sides and this that the third and use arrogance and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: will you know this is you know, kind of like
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: going to get a scripture where it says we, you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we don't celebrate when we see even that enemy lose
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. We pray and hope that God will enlighten
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and open the eyes and open the hearts of those
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: individuals on the other side of our belief, on the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: other side of the scriptures. Amen. God came in the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: form of a man named Jesus to save the world,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not to condemn the world, So we shouldn't be condemning
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: people either. Amen. The Lord himself did not come to condemn.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I went down that path, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I've just I see a lot of my fellow people
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that call themselves Christians putting things on social media right,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and almost like it's almost like what the world says
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: we're doing hate speech. We don't hate. We love. Amen.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And yes we are living a victorious life. Yes we
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: have a victorious King of kings and Lord of lords. Yes,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: God already has prophesied what's going to happen. And those prophecies,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: if you look at it, Amen, they're they're tough, they're challenging. Amen.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But here on earth right now, as we're facing the challenges,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: let's face it together and let's be a help in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: this world. Let's be the whole hope that the Lord
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: calls us through the hope of glory lives inside of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: every single one of his children. Right, So said Joanne,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I see you, good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to the morning devo, my sister and my friend. Amen.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So let me get to the scripture here. I'll put
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it on the screen. Amen, gamekeep praying for each other. Man,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: we really need each other, you know. Prophecy, Yes, it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: going to come to pass. You know who am I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to say that? Oh? Yeah, you know, it's not going
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to come back. It's going to come to pass. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we're seeing it happening in real time, in real time,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: right in front of our eyes. But a lot of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: people are not prepared for the return of the king.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of people don't believe, Amen, And that's a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: challenge and as an evangelist. You know, I'm trying to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: share this gospel to as many people as possible before
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord takes me out of this earth. Amen. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: overcoming challenges, let's get this on the screen for those
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: who are just listening on the podcast or on celeb
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Radio network. So mue is with a zi org, no worries.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be reading this word for words. That way,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: we are all on the same page, literally a man.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Common challenges, how to overcome them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Overcoming common challenges? The Word of God says and first
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: John chapter five, verses four and five. For everyone born
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of God is victorious and overcomes the world. So we
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: know this, ladies and gentlemen, our brothers and sisters in Christ,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: we know this. But in love, I have to remind
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you that people really don't know the Love of Christ
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: as we know it. Before we knew Christ, Amen, we
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: were the same. We were trying to overcome common challenges
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: without knowing the truth. Now that we know the truth,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: let's use the truth in love right and with authority
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and power, unite the body. Then go out and preach
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the gospel. For everyone born of God is victorious and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: conquered and overcome the world. Our continuing persistent faith in Jesus,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the son of God, who is the one who is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: victorious and overcomes the world. Who is the one who's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: victorious and overcomes the world. It's a question. It is
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is the son of God overcome and common challenges. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: could overcome the challenges that you're facing using the world system,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: or you can overcome being alive in Christ, being alive
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in the one who overcame the world is the one
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: son of God. And that's a revelation that God will
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: reveal himself. So all those who are seeking truth or
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: are seeking love, who need a breakthrough, who want to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: know how to be an overcomer. Right, So, like I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: said earlier, we see what's going on. Instead of saying
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: pointing fingers and saying, oh, good for those people, know
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: it's not good for those people who have children. It's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: not good for those people who children are dying. It's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: not good for people who don't understand the prophecies. It's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not good for people who are not prepared to meet
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: their creator. Right, So I'm mindful of what I say
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and what I post, and what I like and what
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I share on social media, Amen, because it could be hurtful.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: People are losing family members, right. How do you feel
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: when you lose a family member? I know I feel
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: horrible no matter what the case may be might be.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Can it be possible that people deserve to die in
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the way people are dying? I don't know. I'm not
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the judge, right, but it hurts Seeing a person, a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: loved one dying is hurtful. So we're spewing hurtful words
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: across social media that you shouldn't be shocked when people
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: get angry because we don't understand their situation. Right. This
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: whole isis thing as well. We don't understand the people
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: who are being taken or their situation is. Right. We
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: are law abiding citizens of this earth, but we are
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: also citizens of Heaven. So we have to be the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: bridge between the kingdom of this world and the Kingdom
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of God. We are in the Kingdom of God. The
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of this world is broken, falling, it fails. Amen,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So we have to be a bridge to help people
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: get from that kingdom to our kingdom. Amen, by way
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit, by way of preaching the Gospel, by
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: way of love, grace, mercy, by way of prayer, by
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: way of the Word of God. So you don't have
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to be a Christian to overcome challenges. You have to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: be alive in Christ to be an overcomer in that
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: way where anything comes your way, anything comes by way
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we could trust. And the one who has already overcome
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: this world and this world system, the same one come
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to destroy then, not come to condemn the world, but
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to save the world. Save the world. Amen. So let
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: me get to my noteses here. Insecurity or lack of knowledge,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it's a huge challenge that we all face in certain
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: parts of our lives. Now, if you're filled with a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God, we really don't have no excuse. We
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: can't have an excuse me. So I didn't know that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. After a while, you're going to know.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: If you know the truth, you shall be set free.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: If you have Holy Spirit inside of your living inside
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of you, you know the truth. You're being led to truth. Amen.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Insecurity or lack of knowledge, you don't have to be
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a Bible scholar, right to lead spiritually. We know that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: there is a God in heaven. We know that there's
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a God living within us. We know that God's word
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: is true. We know that prophecies coming to pass. We
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: know that prayer works. We know that the scriptures and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: when you apply the Scripture in your life, you're going
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to be an overcomer. Start where you are, Start right now,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: where you are and your belief. Ask yourself, what are
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the challenges in my life right now? And what am
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I doing to face these challenges? Are you isolating yourself?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Are you all alone? Are you rejecting the people of God?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Are you not picking up the phone or you're not
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: answering the text, or you're not responding to dms from
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: your spiritual parents a men that are trying to reach
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: out to you. I send love emojis. I send this
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: down to third to my spiritual children, letting them know hello,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm here, Amen. And no response a lot of times,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: but it's okay sometimes just knowing somebody is there, somebody's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: praying for you, Somebody is willing to go inside that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: challenge with you. Somebody is circling your neighborhood. Driving around
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: praying for your situation. A man, sometimes just knowing that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say is enough. It's a spark for
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you to get connected with the Body of Christ. It
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: might not have to be me, might not have to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: be your spiritual Dad or a spiritual Morow, but connect
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: with the Body of Christ. Isolating yourself is never a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: good idea when you're trying to overcome challenge, when you're
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: facing common challenges and that common right, like insecurity is
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a common challenge, lack of knowledge is a common challenge.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Lack of resources is a common challenge. You don't think so,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you think everybody out there that calls the Christians don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: go through anything. Consistency and humility go further than perfection, right,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: because perfection is only found in the perfect One. That's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord, Jesus, God, the Father, God, the Son God,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Right, that's perfection right there, perfect unity. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we have communion, we have perfect communionity, We have perfect
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: communion with the Lord by way of Holy Spirit. Because
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: of that perfection, we start running out of excuses of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: why we're in the situation that we're in, why we
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: feel all alone, why we feel abandoned. Those feelings are
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: not what we run by. We don't have to feel
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a certain way. We have faith in Christ. We have
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: faith in God by way of how He proved himself,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: how we continue to prove himself through our lives through
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: His word. Amen, you're too busy. Being busy doesn't mean
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you're okay. Being busy, even in ministry, doesn't mean that
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you're getting the right that you're helping people. Social media
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is very deceptive, deceiving. You might think, wow, this person
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: has a million followers. He must be or she must
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: be used by God. Not necessarily. I get these messages,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: these dms all the time of people saying, hey, I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: can get you ten thousand followers. We got to just
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pay thirty forty bucks. I could get you one hundred
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: thousand followers. I could get you bo boom go buy
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: followers on social media. So to me, it's weird that
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you know people benchmark over people who have millions of followers, right,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and they said, let's see what they're doing, look how
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: influential they are, and not noticing that when they do
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: something online they get very little response. Just like me,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I get very little response when I send something out
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: on social media. I don't feel bad anybody. I suld
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: be like man, nobody's listening to, nobody's watching. And then
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I see an account that has a million and something
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: followers and the same thing happens with them. This is
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: not listen. We're all facing common challenges, and a lot
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of people are facing the challenge of being too busy.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We're not prioriti prioritizing things. We're not putting first things first.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: What's first things first? And the Christian's life first things
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: first is God first. Amen, Prioritize God, prioritize your family, spirit,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: your health over your schedule. Schedules are there for purpose
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and a reason, tries to keep your life in order.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: But I could have a schedule going on today, right,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I have an event at seven o'clock. But if something
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: happens in my family, Amen, I have to attend to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: my family first, right, we don't. I don't play this whole.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Oh you know, I can't. I can't get to I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: can't get to my son, I can't get to my daughters.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I can't get to my mom. I can't get to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: my brothers, my sister. I can't get to my nieces
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and nephews. I can't get to my uncle because I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: have an event now that doesn't that doesn't work out,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: God will make a way where it seems to be
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: no way. And man, we got to be there for
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: each other. Good morning, since the joice, I see you, God,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: bless you. Thank you for your blessings over the group. Amen,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and Jesus Name, thank you for being here and just
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: spreading love with us. Amen. Even if you have a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: brief moment, take that brief moment and be intentional with
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: that moment, right because that intention that you have for
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that moment, that you could be with somebody, you could
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: pray for, somebody, you could share your test money. And man,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that that intentional moment could be so impactful to somebody
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: else's life, it could change your life. Amen. So let's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: not to be too busy bogged up in what we
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: have to do all the time. Yes, schedules are good.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I have a calendar. I have alarms on my phone.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, those alarms remind me of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that I would be so busy
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I might forget. I set alarms for everything pretty much,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: or I put things in the calendar for things that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I happened and things that are upcoming, just with that,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: because I could get busy, and I think that's a
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: common challenge for everybody, being too busy. How about this
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: your past, your past, phayars Amen. I was just saying this.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I text my son. I was apologizing for my past.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Fothering was it was ratchet, It was horrible. You know.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't I wasn't there for him in his earlier years.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I was too busy being in the streets, too busy
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: with women, sex, struss, alcohol, I was too busy doing
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: x y Z. Not proud prioritizing. I didn't have a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: road map. I didn't have a plan, I didn't have
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: an idea. Definitely wasn't saved. They didn't know God. Amen.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like a lot of excuses. But now
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I have no excuse. So I have to own that.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I have to own up to my past payers. But
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I don't live in my past. No one could go
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to the past. There's no Doloreans out there. There's no
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: back to the future vehicle that could take you back
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to the past. We're in the present right now. We
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have a past, all of us, and we're all facing
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that common challenge of past fayres. But guess what God redeems.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: God redeems. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: start again today, Today's a new day. Right, confess, that's
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: what I did to my son, repent, that's what I
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: did in life, and a fresh commitment right of following
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: God through Christ through the Holy Spirit. And then you're
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: full of grace and truth and you apply that to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: your family and see what happens. Pretty soon people are
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: not going to remember your past, not gonna remember my past.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: They're gonna know the things that we're doing right now.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: The last things that they could remember is not really
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: what we do. It's the things that we say. Because
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: when you say something, then you do something. I never
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: saw a person do something that's talk about it. Later,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: they speak about it, think about it, they contemplate, they plan, amen,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and then they do like when you speak something forth right,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: God himself let there be and it was right. God
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: said this is and that then it was He spoke things.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure he thought at first spoke it,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and then it came to pass. We have the same
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: way of living. We think a thing, say a thing,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and we do a thing. Amen, And with God's blessing
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: it shall come to pass. Now. People on the opposite
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of that, whatever they think, say and do, they could
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: curse people. There's people who aren't in dark deeds, practicing witchcraft,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things going on all around the world. Right,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Let's try to pray them out of that, because God
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: knows how to transfer people from the dark rooms, from
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: their darkness into His marvelous light. I'm gonna be doing
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a Bible study soon called dark Rooms. I'm a little
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: bit concerned or a lot concerned about this dark room
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: stuff going on in the church buildings. Amen, And God's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: convicted me of some things. It's a trigger for me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Ex Club of Go or X club promoter. Dark rooms
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: coming soon to Bible study near. You be in tuned
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: for that. But past fayres God redeems, you could begin again.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Begin now, Start by confessing, Start riber penting. Amen, Turn
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: from what you're doing that's leading you to be, you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: living in your past. Stop that. Turn from that and
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: turn to the righteous One of God who actually presents
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to you a future in any eternal life, the Lord Jesus, Amen,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Grace truth. Live that way, overcome common challenges by being
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: alive in Christ. Or you could go ahead and just
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: do your own thing. Read books right, try to get
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: knowledge from the world, and try to overcome challenges as
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: they come. Why it matters because spiritual leadership matters. Why
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: does this matter? Because God is coming soon. Jesus, the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: King and Kings and the Love Lord is coming soon.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: He's looking for a spotless church, Amen, and we are
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that spotless church. So be ready, stay ready, be active,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: be alive in Christ. Let's overcome these challenges together. Amen,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and let's stay focused on the author and perfective of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: our faith. Manuel. God bless you. Good morning, God bless you.
