  Good morning, good morning, Good morning family God, Welcome back to the
• 0:05
  morning Devo. It's good to see you, my friends, my brothers and
• 0:08
  sisters in Christ, and those who are just curious, and those who just
• 0:11
  stumbled supposedly stumbled on these morning DeVos. Amen. I don't believe in coincidences.
• 0:17
  I believe in divine connections. So I believe that you are here and
• 0:21
  you're connected for a purpose and for a reason. And God wants to speak
• 0:24
  to you through his word. Amen. So we can hear his word and
• 0:29
  hear his voice through his word, because He is the author and perfector of
• 0:34
  our faith. Amen. So we're available right now live streaming at live that
• 0:40
  so when is with his ze Orgy also at so we is with his z
• 0:43
  do org which is the Celebrate on Network, the Lehigh Valley's number one urban
• 0:47
  gospel music station online since two thousand and eight. And we're still here.
• 0:51
  All glory to God. Right. Amen, So we're here, Sister NILSI,
• 0:55
  I see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
• 0:57
  the morning Devo, my sister, my friend. Today we're talking about a
• 1:00
  relationship with God. Because listen, it's plain and simple. People say that
• 1:07
  there's no God because they don't have a personal relationship with him point blank.
• 1:11
  A lot of people are saying, oh, how could you believe in a
• 1:14
  God that you can't see, you can't feel, you can't touch. Listen,
• 1:19
  you can see the Lord through his creation, that's number one. You
• 1:23
  can't hear the Lord. Number two through the word, right, you can't
• 1:29
  feel him. Number three through a holy spirit God who lives in every single
• 1:33
  one of his children, those who are born again. Right. So people
• 1:38
  are over complicating things. If there is no God, then there is no
• 1:41
  relationship with him. Okay, people are basically saying I don't have a relationship
• 1:46
  with God. They're saying that there is no God, but they're basically saying
• 1:49
  they don't have a relationship with him. Whether or not you or I believe
• 1:53
  in God or not doesn't change the fact that He is, he was,
• 1:59
  and he's still to come. Amen. God is good. God bless you
• 2:02
  too, is my sister Nolsea. So today we're gonna just make it simple,
• 2:07
  leave it plain, and call this one a relationship with God. And
• 2:12
  the question is this, why is it not good to be alone? I'm
• 2:16
  in a ministry, a texting ministry, and I couldn't tell you how many
• 2:24
  messages I receive from people who are lonely and they feel isolated I'm talking about.
• 2:32
  I'm telling you there's a lot of them. Out of a one hundred
• 2:35
  texts I get from this texting ministry that I'm part of, I would say
• 2:40
  like forty or maybe a little more deal with loneliness right, feeling alone to
• 2:50
  how they're struggling in that area. Why is it not good to be alone?
• 2:57
  Right? And a statement I made after that, it's all about relationship.
• 3:00
  We're gonna be a Genesis chapter number two, verse eighteen. Genesis two,
• 3:05
  verse number eighteen. I'm calling this one a relationship with God. If
• 3:09
  you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests, don't
• 3:14
  hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're here for.
• 3:16
  If you're listening from the podcast, if you're listening from the radio, Soul
• 3:21
  Winners with a z Org welcome back, shout out to Colorado. You are
• 3:24
  blazing on the network. Amen, it's good to know that I have Coloradio.
• 3:30
  Well you say, if you're from Colorado or Coloridian, Coloradian, Colorado,
• 3:35
  So thank you so much, bless you, and I think it was
• 3:38
  Michigan, Colorado, and I keep on forgetting to get the top five.
• 3:44
  Okay, I got to put that on my to do get the top five
• 3:50
  listenership on the radio because I like to shout them out so that way they
• 3:54
  know I see them and I'm praying for them and I shouting them out.
• 3:58
  All right. So it's not good for someone to be alone. It's not
• 4:01
  good for you to be alone and for me to be alone. And there's
• 4:04
  a reason for it. Right. We need to be in a relationship.
• 4:09
  The most important relationship I believe is the relationship we have with the Lord.
• 4:13
  Amen. When we have the relationship with God, then we know what true
• 4:15
  love is. Then we know what true forgiveness is. Then we know how
• 4:18
  to walk and mercy. Then we know how to show grace. Then we
• 4:23
  know how to you know, walk in victory a man when you have a
• 4:27
  personal relationship with God. So for all those who do not have a personal
• 4:31
  relationship with God, you're saying that there is no God. You're simply also
• 4:36
  saying you don't have a personal relationship with him. That's what you're basically saying.
• 4:41
  If you start, you know, peeling off the layers. Amen.
• 4:44
  So let's pray first. After we pray, we shared this out for like
• 4:46
  sixty seconds, and then when we come back on the other side of those
• 4:49
  sixty seconds, we'll get right into it. Genesis Chapter two, Verse them
• 4:54
  at eighteen one, verse Amen. Today that will like, really really make
• 5:00
  you rethink. I know it made me rethink a lot. This one verse
• 5:03
  Amen took it back to the very beginning of the book of Genesis. So,
• 5:09
  Father God, thank you so much that we are not alone, that
• 5:12
  we are not abandoned, that we're not orphaned. That although we may not
• 5:16
  have an earthly father here that's present, but we have a heavenly Father that's
• 5:20
  forever present, that will always be with us in a time of trouble and
• 5:25
  a time of need, that will always be our covering, our protector,
• 5:29
  our shield. Thank you Jesus for who you are. Thank you God for
• 5:31
  what you have done, what you continue to do, and show us in
• 5:35
  your word who you are. More and more and more, I pray,
• 5:39
  Lord God, I had your protection over me, myself, my family,
• 5:42
  my household, my whole entire bloodline. And I pray the same thing over
• 5:46
  every single person representing their families from the very youngest family member to the very
• 5:51
  oldest family member and everyone in between. Bless them, Touch their hearts,
• 5:55
  touch their minds, protect them, guide them, guard them. Give us
• 5:59
  health to our by strength to our bones. And Lord God, that we
• 6:01
  will give you glory and we would thank you daily, Lo God for all
• 6:04
  of it. And I pray, Lord God, that those who will feel
• 6:08
  alone, who think they could do things alone, Low God, and they
• 6:11
  are being tricked into believe in that for whatever reason, I pray you would
• 6:15
  bring the realization and that you would give them a revolutionary revelation today of why
• 6:23
  it's not good to be alone, and that they can have a personal relationship
• 6:29
  with you first, Low God, and then they can know how to have
• 6:31
  a relationship with others. Touch our hearts, touch our minds, Low God,
• 6:35
  we give you glory, honor, worship, and praise. I thank
• 6:39
  you for what you're doing today in my life, and for everyone that's connected
• 6:42
  now who will connect later. Thank you for doing things in their lives as
• 6:45
  well. When you touch our lives, you make things new. And we
• 6:48
  give you glory, honor, and thanksgiving for all of it. In the
• 6:51
  name of Jesus. We prayed this by faith, and all those who believe
• 6:55
  in prayer. We say, Amen and Amen, let's take sixty seconds to
• 6:59
  help me share this out. If you know people right now who are not
• 7:01
  on social media like that, no problem. You can send them the link
• 7:05
  live that so winners with a Zeta Org you're on social media, just copy
• 7:10
  that link and send it to whoever you want to send to. Also,
• 7:13
  I'm pretty much pretty sure people have YouTube on their mobile devices, on their
• 7:17
  phones and their computers on the TVs is already there. You can send them
• 7:21
  to my YouTube channel and the name of it is DJ sam Rock. Very
• 7:25
  simple andym not trying to make things make sense. Amen, So let's go
• 7:29
  for it. Sixty seconds something. You share this out. When we come
• 7:31
  back, we'll get right into today's Morning devot. A relationship with God,
• 7:36
  I'll be right back. Amen. Amen, we're back. Let's go for
• 8:54
  it. A relationship with God? Is it possible to have that even for
• 8:58
  those who don't leaving him? Listen, I got saved by way of being
• 9:01
  drunken high calling out unto a god, calling to a God that I didn't
• 9:07
  even trust, I didn't believe in. I couldn't understand at the moment.
• 9:11
  Amen, and guess what he responded even in that way that I called him
• 9:16
  out, And I wasn't very kind with my words when I was calling out
• 9:20
  God. But I knew that if there was more to life, it had
• 9:22
  to be through him, the creative of life. I didn't believe in him,
• 9:26
  though, I didn't trust in him. So it's not that I didn't
• 9:28
  It's not that I was going around saying there is no God, even though
• 9:31
  in my mind I was telling myself that, right, But I wasn't like
• 9:35
  standing on top of a soapbox or you know, telling everybody and streaming that
• 9:39
  everybody there is no God. How could you believe in that? How could
• 9:41
  you believe in that? I was just having a personal crisis, Amen,
• 9:46
  But guess what he responded. And because he responded, now I have a
• 9:48
  personal relationship with him. I was lost. God wasn't lost. I didn't
• 9:54
  find God. God found me where I was. He came to where I
• 9:58
  was to take me to where He is. And that's my testimony in a
• 10:01
  nutshell, and I'm not backing off of it, and I'm not backing down.
• 10:05
  Amen. So if people want to debate about the existence of God and
• 10:07
  this, that and the third, I know some people that could debate you
• 10:11
  on that, Amen, and they know the scripture is way better than I
• 10:13
  do, and they know how to articulate all that stuff. But this is
• 10:16
  not the platform for that, Amen. This is the platform to get into
• 10:20
  the Word of God, to reflect, to get a devotional going on daily
• 10:26
  in your heart and mind, so that way it can help you during the
• 10:28
  day because I know every day. We know we have a God. We
• 10:33
  serve a God that knows everything that's going to happen today, So we give
• 10:35
  him, give him everything that we know to give him. Amen. You
• 10:39
  knew about him, now you know him. Amen, that makes sense.
• 10:43
  Yep. We knew about him. I knew about him. I knew the
• 10:46
  story and all that, but now I know him. Thank you. That's
• 10:48
  good. Thank you, Neil Suck. So let's get this ready for the
• 10:52
  screen. Amen sees. If everything is ready, Yep, there you go.
• 10:56
  For those who are just listening, Amen, thank you so much for
• 11:00
  listening. Although you don't see what we see, but you're going to hear
• 11:03
  what we hear because I'm gonna read the word for word. I'm not gonna
• 11:07
  short change anybody out there. Heymen. Genesis chapter two, verse number eighteen.
• 11:11
  The word of God says now the Lord. God said, listen,
• 11:16
  this is the Lord speaking. It is not good, beneficial for the man
• 11:22
  to be alone. I will make him a helper, one who balances him,
• 11:30
  a counterpart right, who is suitable and complimentary for him. God is
• 11:37
  not leaving us guessing all our lives and say what should I do? Why
• 11:45
  am I here? You know? What's the meaning of life? Who tells
• 11:50
  us what's right and what's wrong? And where am I going after die?
• 11:54
  He doesn't leave us figuring out all by ourselves. He looks at us situation,
• 12:01
  he finds what's beneficial for us right, and he will do something about
• 12:05
  it. In this case, he's telling Adam, is not good for you
• 12:09
  to be alone. He's telling the first man, listen, there's nothing none
• 12:13
  of these animals that I created for you. None of the fish, none
• 12:16
  of the birds, none of the plants. None of that was suitable for
• 12:22
  Adam. So what did he do? He made Adam. He made man
• 12:26
  a helper, one who balances right, one who is a counterpart, suitable
• 12:33
  and complimentary for him. God does that continuously for us on the day to
• 12:39
  day. You might not realize it, but God's creating a way for us
• 12:43
  to be living an abundant life. He's creating a way for us to live
• 12:48
  a victorious life. He's creating a way for us to not be alone,
• 12:52
  to not feel abandoned, to not feel like we're all here, we're here
• 12:56
  all by ourselves. No, he moves according to his word and purpose for
• 13:01
  our hearts and for our lives, for our family, Amen, and for
• 13:05
  our wellbeing. Why because we have a relationship with God, a relationship with
• 13:11
  God. Amen, I put the wrong screen there. There you go.
• 13:18
  So basically, what God is doing and what he's done and what he continues
• 13:22
  to do, He designed us for a relationship. He designed us to bond
• 13:26
  with him. Right. This is the reason why a lot of people say
• 13:31
  that the atheists, there's not enough evidence, not enough proof that there's a
• 13:33
  God who exists. They're saying that they're alone. They feel alone, they
• 13:37
  don't have the answers. They abandoned, they feel abandoned, they feel rejected,
• 13:41
  they feel isolated, they feel like they are outside of the mix.
• 13:46
  And a lot of people, if they don't understand something, they become angry
• 13:50
  because they start fearing what they don't understand, and they gather up with other
• 13:54
  people who feel the same way, and they create all kinds of reasons.
• 13:58
  There's no God or reasons why we as believers are wrong. And then they
• 14:05
  try to go to science, which, by the way, science can't hold
• 14:07
  its own without a creator that created everything that science is looking at. It's
• 14:13
  very common sense, right. God designed us to bomb relationally with himself,
• 14:18
  right, And when we have a personal relationship with God, we bond with
• 14:24
  him, bond right with him, and we become people who are called believers,
• 14:30
  sons and daughters of living God. We become who God calles us to
• 14:35
  be right. The God of the Bible is a relational god, and you
• 14:39
  can see that all through from Genesis to Revelation. He has relationship. He's
• 14:43
  involved with what's happening in this world. So the people who are out there
• 14:48
  are saying, oh, God created the world, but then he left and
• 14:52
  he has no dealings with us anymore. I don't know where to get that
• 14:56
  from. They certainly don't. They certainly can't get that from this scriptures.
• 15:01
  And if they look around and if they're honest, they certainly can't say that
• 15:03
  God is not involved with us today. It's incredible how we as human beings
• 15:09
  create these things in our minds, and then we start speaking it out of
• 15:13
  our mouths. And then because a lot of people gravitate to that, Amen,
• 15:18
  a lot of people gravitate to evil more than good. A lot of
• 15:22
  people gravitate the lies more than truth. And because they have a big following,
• 15:28
  they convince themselves that, yeah, I'm right. You see, I'm
• 15:31
  right because I have the majority vote. And that's not the way life works
• 15:37
  at all. Right, Amen, Brother Robert Diaz, Robbie newborn, God,
• 15:41
  bless you born in my friend of my bro So the God of the
• 15:45
  Bible that we read the scriptures is a relational god, the three members of
• 15:50
  the Trinity. And even this, people say, oh, how could you
• 15:52
  believe in the triune God. The word trinity is not in the Bible.
• 15:56
  Listen, the word Bible is not in the Bible. It doesn't matter.
• 16:00
  We see the God who is the Father, God the Father. We see
• 16:06
  God the Son all through the scriptures, and we see God Holy Spiritakka Kadesh
• 16:11
  right rock eloheen. We see the word becoming flesh, and we see it
• 16:21
  and we want a relationship with this God of heaven and earth. Personally,
• 16:26
  I have a relationship I hope you have a relationship. It's a personal thing,
• 16:30
  and it's a private thing, but it's not Okay, let me back
• 16:34
  up. My relationship with God is personal, but it's not private. Right.
• 16:41
  What God did within me my heart a man, that was very personal,
• 16:45
  But now I publicly display that because I'm like, if he did it
• 16:48
  for me, he can do that for anybody. I know that for a
• 16:52
  fact. I was going in a totally different direction. Then I called on
• 16:56
  God and he ruined my life in a good way. He interrupted my life
• 17:02
  because I was going towards a cliff, and if I had taken a couple
• 17:06
  of more steps, I would have fallen off that cliff. Right, God
• 17:10
  loves me and loves you so much that he's not gonna lie to keep on
• 17:12
  going in a direction that's going to lead you to your own destruction. He's
• 17:17
  not going to leave you in moving in a direction that's going to lead you
• 17:21
  to death. He wants that. He wishes that none perish, but everyone
• 17:26
  have eternal life. So don't forfeit your eternity for a theory. Right,
• 17:33
  go for yourself. Go look for yourself in the word of God. Looking
• 17:37
  around you, look at creation, and realize something. There has to be
• 17:40
  a God who did all of this. Right, God bless you as well
• 17:44
  for the Robbie. So in John seventeen twenty one, we see Jesus and
• 17:52
  we hear him praying to the Father. He says, you are in me
• 17:56
  and I am in you. That's a relationship. Amen, he was one
• 17:59
  with the Father. There was a relationship going on. He wasn't alone,
• 18:03
  he wasn't abandoned. Even though in the garden of Gonsemite. Amen, there
• 18:07
  was a time right there that Jesus was experienced a lot of grief. Right,
• 18:11
  and he was like, man, I gotta go to the cross,
• 18:12
  and the boot says. He was sweating drips of blood and crying blood.
• 18:18
  He was in a place of like man. But he said, listen,
• 18:23
  if there's another way, show me. But if there's no other way,
• 18:27
  not my will be done. But job will be done. Why because he
• 18:32
  was one with the Father John seventeen twenty one. Proves that he and the
• 18:37
  Father were one. Right, you are in me and I'm in you,
• 18:41
  John seventeen twenty one. So we have the creation story in Genesis. He
• 18:47
  created everything. Do you notice that God shows up as creator first in the
• 18:52
  beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He created everything first, everything
• 18:57
  we needed. Then he shows up at as the provider. Everything that Adam
• 19:02
  needed was already provided. Right. Then he makes man, so it's God,
• 19:08
  then Man, Jesus, Cross, and resurrection. Those five words answer
• 19:15
  any question in life. Those five meanings in those five positions, God,
• 19:22
  Man, Jesus, Cross, Resurrection will steer your life in the right direction
• 19:29
  and you'll have a personal relationship with this God. Of having the earth,
• 19:33
  you can't miss aim at God. He's the target you will not be able
• 19:37
  to miss. I'm telling you from experience. Good morning, sister Joanne.
• 19:41
  It's good to see you. God bless you as well, and good morning.
• 19:45
  God did not create just one human being, and we know that I'm
• 19:48
  not trying to be a wise God. But he created too. He thought
• 19:55
  I was gonna say, I know the number of the humans on here.
• 19:56
  No, I don't create it too. Created Adam the man, He created
• 20:00
  Eve. He created Eve the woman. Right when Adam was the only person
• 20:04
  in the universe, God said it is not good for the man to be
• 20:10
  alone. The question is why isn't it good for man? Said, you
• 20:15
  mean to tell me that Adam would have not found a way to hang out
• 20:18
  with the animals and do this. That and the third could have been right,
• 20:22
  But something tells me that that would have not been fulfilling for Adam.
• 20:26
  And then maybe maybe the Bible doesn't say this, but maybe, as I'm
• 20:30
  thinking, he would have found trouble being by himself. But God knew that
• 20:36
  it was not good for man to be alone. God knew that it was
• 20:38
  not good for Adam to be alone because he saw the future. Amen,
• 20:44
  So he created a helpmate. He created someone who was suitable for him to
• 20:52
  follow a relationship with God. Is more than enough? Do you think that
• 20:59
  were with God would have been enough for Adam? I think so. But
• 21:03
  also God knew that there was good trouble was ahead somewhere around Amen, if
• 21:07
  he had not created a helpmate, someone that was suitable for Adam. Amen.
• 21:15
  But you know Genesis chapter three, if you read the scriptures, you
• 21:18
  know that there was a fall of man. Eve was deceived by the serpent.
• 21:22
  Then Adam and Eve disobeyed God by doing what God told him not to
• 21:26
  do. But we'll stay in Genesis chapter two. Amen, before the fall,
• 21:33
  so Adam needed to be in a relationship with God and in a relationship
• 21:40
  with other people. Hence, that's how we know how to communicate, That's
• 21:44
  how we know how to get along because we have an example of the first
• 21:47
  man getting along with his wife, getting along with other people in the scriptures.
• 21:52
  And then you continue seeing people in the scriptures getting along with one another,
• 21:56
  and then you see parts of the scripture that people were really getting along
• 22:00
  with one another. Actually, the first murder was in the first book of
• 22:03
  the Bible, when the brother came and killed Abel. So this is why
• 22:11
  Jesus sums up all the teaching of the scripture and two simple commands. What
• 22:19
  are they? Love God and love our neighbor. The R word relationship.
• 22:27
  He's the god of the read. He's the god of the relation. He's
• 22:32
  the god of the reads, god of restoring Amen. He's the god of
• 22:37
  the rebirth. He's the god of the resurrection. You see all these ries
• 22:41
  in the beginning of what God does a man, He renews, a man,
• 22:45
  he redeems. He's the God of the ri He's the God of the
• 22:48
  read. So relationship is good news for every single person who have this relationship.
• 22:57
  How do you do it, Sam, how do you get a relationship
• 23:00
  with God. You might be out there say I don't believe in God.
• 23:03
  So that's all for you Christians and you Bible thumpers and all that stuff,
• 23:08
  whatever you want to call us. Right, all you have to do is
• 23:11
  admit that you're a sinner, very simple. Admit that you do wrong.
• 23:15
  That should be a simple thing. Humble yourself, admit that, and ask
• 23:19
  God to forgive you for doing wrong. Because you're not doing wrong really against
• 23:23
  me or another human being. You're doing wrong against a holy God, and
• 23:27
  he wants to fix that in your life. So admit that you're a sinner.
• 23:32
  Go to Jesus right personally, right now, a man. Ask him
• 23:36
  to forgive you for the wrongdoings. For the sins He will forgive you.
• 23:40
  You'll start being changed and transformed. He will send his Holy Spirit to live
• 23:45
  inside of you, and then you'll start believing the word of God. Activate
• 23:48
  the word of God, and you'll have a personal relationship with God a man.
• 23:53
  I hope that makes sense. Go to the scripture. We read Genesis
• 23:57
  chapter two. Read the whole chapter. We was in verse number eighteen.
• 24:02
  Read the whole chapter, and believe me, you'll probably continue reading the Book
• 24:06
  of Genesis is a lot in there, a man that obviously I can't go
• 24:10
  over in a short time like this. But I'm out of time now,
• 24:12
  but I want to send you off with a blessing. Thank you so much
• 24:15
  for hanging out with me for these morning DeVos. God bless you all,
• 24:18
  God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace.
