- 1:54Speaker 1: for it so I'll get to my notes over here.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I was trying to get the other graphics up, but
- 2:02Speaker 1: looks like it's gonna be challenging. It was working when
- 2:06Speaker 1: I tried it last night, but now it's not working,
- 2:08Speaker 1: of course, so you already know how I do it.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I'll try to figure it out on a fly because
- 2:13Speaker 1: we're already alive and I'm already coming on here late.
- 2:17Speaker 1: So let me know if the volume is good, if

- 2:34Speaker 1: But he also spoke with Grace, We're gonna be a
- 2:37Speaker 1: Matthew twenty six, Verses twenty one to twenty five, Authenticumentationalogy.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I'm calling this one speaking Truth with Love, So let's
- 2:48Speaker 1: pray first. After we pray, we can help me share
- 2:50Speaker 1: this out during what we're gonna do today and for
- 2:54Speaker 1: those who are listening and so when is with a
- 2:56Speaker 1: z dot org, it'll be some silence on the podcast
- 3:01Speaker 1: at least and for that minute. But you can help
- 3:04Speaker 1: me share that out. So let's pray first. After we pray,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I will share this out and then we'll get right
- 3:09Speaker 1: into the Book of Matthew, chapter twenty six, Verses twenty
- 3:13Speaker 1: one to twenty five. Father, thank you so much for
- 3:16Speaker 1: this ability, for you allow me to have this technology
- 3:21Speaker 1: to continue the morning devot even during traveling. I pray
- 3:25Speaker 1: low gouid heads your protection over myself, my wife, our children,
- 3:28Speaker 1: our grandchildren. I pray low goud special healing prayer for
- 3:33Speaker 1: my family and the lucaside, that you would be there
- 3:35Speaker 1: with comforting, guiding and really mending hearts and mending people together.
- 3:42Speaker 1: On that end, I pray supernatural word that will increase
- 3:46Speaker 1: in our hearts and minds. And look, Guid, you will
- 3:49Speaker 1: get the glory onnor worship and praise for it all.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I pray look at that every single listener on the
- 3:54Speaker 1: other side of this screen, all the other side of Mike,
- 3:56Speaker 1: will be impacted by your holy Spirit. I pray Low God,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the peace of God which transcends all understanding, and we
- 4:03Speaker 1: will learn how to talk truth and speak truth, but
- 4:07Speaker 1: speak it with grace, just like you spoke it. You
- 4:09Speaker 1: never sugarcoat of reality, but you also spoke with grace.
- 4:13Speaker 1: So we want to speak with grace because we have
- 4:15Speaker 1: the gracegiverer of living within us, and we cannot. We
- 4:19Speaker 1: don't have any excuses about how we can't be the
- 4:22Speaker 1: same way. And Jesus Holy Name and prayed us by
- 4:25Speaker 1: faith and those who agree, we say Amen to the Amen,
- 4:28Speaker 1: please help me share this out, Amen to as many
- 4:31Speaker 1: people as possible. When we come back, we'll get into
- 4:34Speaker 1: Matthew chapter number twenty six, verses twenty one to twenty five.
- 4:42Speaker 1: And let's see if I did this right. We'll take
- 4:44Speaker 1: the minute and I'll be right back.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Us.
- 7:20Speaker 1: All right, amen, let's get back into us. I'm gonna

- 7:40Speaker 1: you know, the assignment that God gave gave me, so
- 7:44Speaker 1: bear with me, amen. I had the screen up ready

- 7:55Speaker 1: do this again. Amen, for the second screen on here
- 8:02Speaker 1: and yes there, Yes, it's not gonna work out for me.

- 8:15Speaker 1: Be with me, ladies and gentlemen. We don't work this out,
- 8:21Speaker 1: so let's go for it. Let's see here is this one. Yes,
- 8:27Speaker 1: I'm working just on my laptop and probably just won't
- 8:31Speaker 1: be able to show the graphic. That's all right, let's
- 8:35Speaker 1: see try on more than you already know. I'm trying
- 8:40Speaker 1: to get this running. Amen, So we do what we
- 8:45Speaker 1: do here on the morning Devo. Let's see here and
- 8:53Speaker 1: get here a whole bunch of clicking and everything, but
- 8:57Speaker 1: let's see. All right, this should work all right, that's uh,
- 9:11Speaker 1: here we go. I'm gonna try to get this on
- 9:13Speaker 1: the screen for everybody, for those who are just listening.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your patience and your time,
- 9:18Speaker 1: as we have a couple of minutes left to get
- 9:22Speaker 1: this message going get this message through. Amen, And let's
- 9:28Speaker 1: see if I did this rate go back here. You
- 9:34Speaker 1: gotta hear a lot of clicking. Today's clicked Friday, the
- 9:39Speaker 1: new version. All right, let's see. Okay, and then let's
- 9:48Speaker 1: see here current application.
- 9:54Speaker 2: M h.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it's good. Do this for me.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Let's see it's not showing all the screen should be
- 10:09Speaker 1: shippy here and it should be going. Yep, I see
- 10:15Speaker 1: it all right, So let's see if this works out. Amen,
- 10:20Speaker 1: Hopefully you see that what I'm seeing speaking truth with
- 10:22Speaker 1: love today on intensive imitationology. Let me just monitor myself here,
- 10:30Speaker 1: hey man, So let's see if I get this going.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I just think it's way lagging, way behind. All right,
- 10:41Speaker 1: let's see. All right, we're still on the countdown on
- 10:45Speaker 1: my end. This is strange, so I think it's working.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Let's get into the scripture. Matthew twenty six, verses twenty
- 10:52Speaker 1: one to twenty five. The Word of Guy says, while
- 10:55Speaker 1: they were eating, he said, this is the Lord speaking.
- 10:59Speaker 1: I tell you the truth. One of you will betray me.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So the Lord already knew he was going to be betrayed. Amen,
- 11:09Speaker 1: So it's not a matter of if he was going
- 11:11Speaker 1: to be betrayed. It was a matter of who was
- 11:15Speaker 1: going to betray him. Amen, that's the that's it right there.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Who was going to betray him? And let me see
- 11:26Speaker 1: something here? Where does that look weird? Okay? Anyway, I'm
- 11:30Speaker 1: just gonna roll with the punches here. Apologies for talking
- 11:33Speaker 1: to myself and I'm like, I just like, what's going
- 11:36Speaker 1: on here? Let me get back to that scripture. Ah well,
- 11:44Speaker 1: I didn't want to do that, and I want to
- 11:47Speaker 1: do that. Where are we? I didn't want to do
- 11:52Speaker 1: that either.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Now see I freaked out, and now I changed the
- 11:58Speaker 1: change the screen around where it goes, all right, we're back.
- 12:02Speaker 1: It says while they were eating, Jesus said, I tell
- 12:05Speaker 1: you the truth. One of you will betray me. Greatly distressed,
- 12:08Speaker 1: each one asked in turn, am I the one? Lord?
- 12:13Speaker 1: So it's like they didn't even know which one it
- 12:16Speaker 1: was going to be. I mean, we already know the story,
- 12:20Speaker 1: so we knew who which one it was that was
- 12:22Speaker 1: going to betray the Lord. Jesus replied, one of you,
- 12:28Speaker 1: who has just eaten from this bowl with me, will
- 12:32Speaker 1: betray me. For the son of man. Listen to this,
- 12:35Speaker 1: for the son of man must die, why, as the
- 12:40Speaker 1: scriptures declared long ago, But how terrible it will be
- 12:46Speaker 1: for the one who betrays him. Ouch, it would be
- 12:50Speaker 1: far better for that man if he had never been
- 12:54Speaker 1: born escamation. Jesus was serious about it, speaking of truth,
- 13:01Speaker 1: speaking in love. Judas, the one who would betray him,
- 13:06Speaker 1: also asked, Rabbi, am I the one? And Jesus told them,
- 13:12Speaker 1: you have said it. Wow, this is a goat move,
- 13:15Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, speaking truth and love. But
- 13:19Speaker 1: the one I see you, my bro, God bless you.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning devil. It's good to see you,
- 13:23Speaker 1: my bro. So we have the scriptures, we have what
- 13:28Speaker 1: we see in the scriptures. We know how the story ends.
- 13:34Speaker 1: But Jesus spoke truth with love. Amen. And now let
- 13:39Speaker 1: me see if I could get to my notes, and
- 13:41Speaker 1: then we can't finish it off. We got like eight
- 13:43Speaker 1: minutes left. I got my apologies for or the tech
- 13:47Speaker 1: issues yesterday working beautifully. But when you go live, things change.
- 13:52Speaker 1: So let's go.
- 13:57Speaker 2: So.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Because Jesus never sugarcoated reality, right, never, he would tell
- 14:02Speaker 1: you what it is. He would tell you the truth.
- 14:05Speaker 1: But he was speaking with such love, because God is
- 14:08Speaker 1: love and Jesus is God, but he also spoke with grace.
- 14:14Speaker 1: So when he predicted his portrayal, and he also predicted
- 14:17Speaker 1: his crucifixion, he did it calmly. Even though there was
- 14:21Speaker 1: an explanation point in this translation. I believe what the
- 14:25Speaker 1: destimation point meant that he was emphasizing the truth, emphasizing
- 14:30Speaker 1: the love. And although he knew he was going to
- 14:33Speaker 1: be betrayed, he was still emphasizing the fact that he
- 14:36Speaker 1: was still going to get his mission completed. He was
- 14:39Speaker 1: going to still go to the cross for all of humanity.
- 14:43Speaker 1: So he spoke calmly. He prepared his disciples rather than
- 14:48Speaker 1: reacting in fear, because if Jesus would have reacted in fear,
- 14:52Speaker 1: remember God didn't give us the spirit of fear. So
- 14:55Speaker 1: we don't respond in fear. We respond in truth. We
- 14:58Speaker 1: respond in love. We respond in confidence. So even though
- 15:02Speaker 1: Jesus was facing his bad news, he knew that he
- 15:05Speaker 1: had to go to the cross. He knew he was
- 15:07Speaker 1: going to be betrayed into the hands of those mockers
- 15:10Speaker 1: and the sinners and the government of his time. He
- 15:14Speaker 1: also knew that he was going to complete his mission regardless.
- 15:18Speaker 1: So Jesus facing bad news right. He honestly told the people,
- 15:24Speaker 1: his disciples right on the night. You know pretty much
- 15:29Speaker 1: that he was going to be betrayed. Well, he predicted
- 15:32Speaker 1: the portrayal. Amen, remember the Last Supper. But he responded
- 15:38Speaker 1: with wisdom and he gave faith. He was actually giving
- 15:42Speaker 1: faith to the people. That's why they started. The disciples
- 15:44Speaker 1: started asking each other, as it me, is it means?
- 15:45Speaker 1: And me? Because now the Holy One is speaking about
- 15:50Speaker 1: a betrayer, and that was bringing conviction to the disciples,
- 15:55Speaker 1: and they wanted to make sure that it wasn't them.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Judas knew at the time. Maybe he did it. I
- 16:03Speaker 1: got to look into it, but he knew to ask
- 16:06Speaker 1: the question and noticed that he acts last is in me, Rabbi,
- 16:12Speaker 1: And Jesus said, you said it? He just said, it's me.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So if you look at the scripture, clearly he kind
- 16:20Speaker 1: of admitted that he was the one that was going
- 16:23Speaker 1: to betray the Lord. So respond with wisdom, respond with
- 16:28Speaker 1: faith rather than fear or anger. Jesus could have got up,
- 16:33Speaker 1: he could have did something crazy on that table, but
- 16:36Speaker 1: he did it. He just spoke the truth, and he
- 16:40Speaker 1: spoke it with grace. He spoke it with love. Amen.
- 16:43Speaker 1: So that was Matthew twenty six, twenty one to twenty five.
- 16:46Speaker 1: You could check it out for yourself. Read the whole chapter.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I always suggest you read the whole chapter. So on
- 16:53Speaker 1: the Cross, despite the injustice Jesus forgave his persecutors, you
- 16:58Speaker 1: already knew he was going to be betrayed into that
- 17:00Speaker 1: hands of mockers and sinners, into a government that really,
- 17:04Speaker 1: to be honest, if you look at the scriptures, they
- 17:06Speaker 1: didn't even want nothing to do with the whole Jesus situation.
- 17:11Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the leaders of his time
- 17:13Speaker 1: were saying, listen, you go handle that yourself. It's not
- 17:17Speaker 1: our loss. Those are your laws. But because the scriptures
- 17:20Speaker 1: were going to be fulfilled, it happened, and Jesus spoke
- 17:25Speaker 1: the truth. He spoke it with grace, he spoke with love,
- 17:28Speaker 1: and since he's the way, the truth and the life,
- 17:31Speaker 1: he already knew it was going to happen regardless of
- 17:34Speaker 1: what people did and what people said. Amen. So if
- 17:38Speaker 1: you have any questions, comments, concerns, or prayer request, please
- 17:41Speaker 1: don't hesitate to leave on a live chat. I know
- 17:44Speaker 1: this was short, hopefully with sweet, but this is unusual
- 17:49Speaker 1: for me doing on a laptop and not having the
- 17:52Speaker 1: capabilities that actually had yesterday after I tested everything out.
- 17:58Speaker 1: So it's faceless today. Amen. Podcasts they make sense that
- 18:01Speaker 1: is only a voice. Radio makes sense that is only
- 18:03Speaker 1: a voice. But I know it's unusual on the live
- 18:07Speaker 1: and on my YouTube page not to have my image.
- 18:11Speaker 1: But it's all right, Amen. I just wanted to make
- 18:14Speaker 1: sure I got this through. We're coming up to resurrection Sunday, Amen,
- 18:19Speaker 1: So we're preparing our hearts. We're reminding ourselves of what
- 18:22Speaker 1: really happened, the historical facts, biblical facts, Amen, the Gospel truth,
- 18:27Speaker 1: and we want to speak this to people who are searching,
- 18:30Speaker 1: people who need the truth. Amen, which, by the way,
- 18:33Speaker 1: I believe that's everyone we need to speak the truth with.
- 18:36Speaker 1: But we need to speak it in love. Don't hesitate,
- 18:40Speaker 1: be honest. Read the scriptures. If you think that you're
- 18:44Speaker 1: going to be an error, or you think you're going
- 18:45Speaker 1: to be too harsh by what you say, go to
- 18:48Speaker 1: the scriptures. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Go to the
- 18:51Speaker 1: Gospels allows you to speak the way He spoke to
- 18:54Speaker 1: the religious people of his time, and then follow suit.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:58Speaker 1: We authentic imitation of the most successful person who has
- 19:02Speaker 1: ever lived on this planet, the Lord Jesus himself. There's
- 19:05Speaker 1: no other way around it. Amen. He's the best of
- 19:08Speaker 1: the best, the top of the top. He knows, Amen,
- 19:12Speaker 1: that what he says is going to come to pass.
- 19:16Speaker 1: But when he spoke it, he spoke with such grace, right,
- 19:19Speaker 1: he spoke it with love, spoken with authority. He's spoke
- 19:22Speaker 1: it with so much. Let's see love that the Bible
- 19:28Speaker 1: says John three sixteen. For God so loved, greatly loved
- 19:32Speaker 1: the world, that He's sent his only begotten son, that
- 19:36Speaker 1: whomever whoever believes in him should not perish but have
- 19:40Speaker 1: eternal life. Amen. Amen, I got you, brother Juan. It's
- 19:47Speaker 1: marriage is a beautiful thing, but it's also a challenging
- 19:51Speaker 1: thing for men. Amen. So on the sideline we'll talk, bro.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Keep the faith, man, keep your heart guarded, remind yourself
- 20:01Speaker 1: who you are in Christ. Amen. I know you know, yeah,
- 20:07Speaker 1: we got you man. Keeping you in your spouse in prayer,
- 20:10Speaker 1: like your request says, we got you. I got you. Amen.
- 20:14Speaker 1: And later on this evening maybe or tomorrow or evening,
- 20:22Speaker 1: I'll hit you up and if you're able to speak
- 20:27Speaker 1: on it, we'll just pray about it and let me
- 20:30Speaker 1: know what's going on. Thank you so much for trusting
- 20:32Speaker 1: me and trusting the group here with the prayer requests. Amen.
- 20:37Speaker 1: So Sister Joy says, speak peace and love. Yes, in love, man,
- 20:43Speaker 1: I believe culture don't want to hear us speaking if
- 20:48Speaker 1: it ain't in love. They kind of like grappling if
- 20:51Speaker 1: this is true or not. But when they hear it
- 20:54Speaker 1: in love and in grace, I think we'll have their
- 20:56Speaker 1: ears a little bit longer than if we just speak
- 20:59Speaker 1: truth and walk away. There's something about speaking with love
- 21:03Speaker 1: and grace that really makes a big difference. Amen. So
- 21:07Speaker 1: I'm out of time. Thank you so much for your
- 21:09Speaker 1: patience and for hanging out with me for these like
- 21:11Speaker 1: twenty three minutes that we had together. Amen. God bless
- 21:15Speaker 1: you all. God keep you all. Remember always that's always
- 21:18Speaker 1: that God is good. Until the next time. God bless peace.
