2:47
Speaker 1: but God is good Father. I thank you. Thank you
2:50
Speaker 1: so much for the ability to trusting you or your
2:58
Speaker 1: word never returns to you voice, for your word stands
3:01
Speaker 1: and your word is the last spoken. Thank you, Lord God,
3:04
Speaker 1: that we can continue to trust in you, be obedient
3:07

Speaker 1: health to our body, strength to our bones. Thank you
3:16
Speaker 1: for renewing our mindset and keeping us straight in all
3:20
Speaker 1: things that try to keep us in a crooked place.
3:23
Speaker 1: I pray peace over every single person that's listening and
3:26
Speaker 1: watching right now, the powerful name of Jesus, and I
3:28
Speaker 1: pray that over myself, my wife, our children, our grandchildren,
3:32
Speaker 1: our family from the very youngest family member to the
3:35
Speaker 1: very oldest, and everyone in between, our God children as well.
3:40
Speaker 1: We bless all the families that are connected to us.
3:43
Speaker 1: We bless every single person on the other side of
3:45
Speaker 1: the screen and on the other side of this mic
3:47
Speaker 1: and a powerful name and the holy name of Jesus,
3:50
Speaker 1: the one who directs our paths by way of his
3:53
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. So I pray, Lord God that we will
3:55
Speaker 1: continue to be unified in a body, and that no
3:58
Speaker 1: weapon formed against us, all prospers according to your word
4:00
Speaker 1: and your purpose and your plan for my life and
4:03
Speaker 1: for every life that's watching and listening right now. So
4:06
Speaker 1: I speak life concerning all things living, and I come
4:09
Speaker 1: against anything that tries to divide, distract, tries to destroy,
4:14
Speaker 1: kill and steal from us by way of the enemy's tactics.
4:18
Speaker 1: And I pray that out in Jesus' name, and I
4:22
Speaker 1: pray your peace forward in Jesus name. Thank you, lo
4:25
Speaker 1: God for your peace that surpass us all understanding, and
4:29
Speaker 1: that we could rely on your peace to get us
4:31
Speaker 1: through on the most horrific days, on the most peaceful
4:36
Speaker 1: days and the most chaotic days. Your peace still stands.
4:38
Speaker 1: And Jesus Holy Name, I pray it is by faith,
4:41
Speaker 1: and all those who agree with the prayer, we say
4:42
Speaker 1: amen to the Amen. So let's go for it. Sixty
4:45
Speaker 1: seconds will shed us out. When we come back, we'll
4:47
Speaker 1: get right into it. I'll be right back and Amen.
6:04
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for helping me share this out,
6:06
Speaker 1: and thank you for those groups again for helping me
6:09
Speaker 1: share this out as well. So let's go for it.
6:11
Speaker 1: There's some word here, man, Wow, God, when you speak,
6:15
Speaker 1: you speak right, And when God speaks listen, it's okay.
6:20
Speaker 1: But I trust everything God says because his word is proven,
6:24
Speaker 1: tried and true. Amen. The Old Covenant is his resume
6:29
Speaker 1: for what he can do for you today. I know
6:32
Speaker 1: he's trustworthy because I trust him, and not because only
6:35
Speaker 1: I trust him, because so many others that I do
6:38
Speaker 1: trust him and everything that happens in life. When you
6:43
Speaker 1: put God first starts aligning to his perfect will, to
6:48
Speaker 1: his plan that He already has set out for us. Amen.
6:50
Speaker 1: So you don't have the second guess God's word. You
6:53
Speaker 1: just believe it, Amen, and go for it. Go for
6:56
Speaker 1: what God is speaking. Go for the word of God. Amen.
7:01
Speaker 1: So when to walk away, here's a scripture, Amen, Tewod
7:07
Speaker 1: Corinthians six seventeen, six eighteen. I gotta correct that, but
7:12
Speaker 1: six seventeen. So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,
7:20
Speaker 1: says the Lord. So, who are coming out from unbelievers?
7:26
Speaker 1: In other words, don't attach the same way yoused to
7:29
Speaker 1: attach when you was in the world. Right, come out
7:33
Speaker 1: from among unbelievers and be separate, says the Lord. And
7:37
Speaker 1: do not touch what is unclean. And you do that,
7:44
Speaker 1: I will graciously receive you and welcome you with favor.
7:50
Speaker 1: So come out of there, walk away. Separate yourselves from
7:58
Speaker 1: unbelievers people sometimes as people say the believers, right, but
8:01
Speaker 1: their actions and the behavior, and their lifestyle and their choices,
8:08
Speaker 1: and who they hang out with and what they do
8:11
Speaker 1: behind the closed doors. God is saying, I see that
8:15
Speaker 1: that I'm believe in. Come out from among them, Come
8:22
Speaker 1: out from among the unbelievers, and be separate, says the
8:25
Speaker 1: Lord that says, Sam says the Lord, And I says
8:28
Speaker 1: your pastor says the Lord, And I says the apostle,
8:30
Speaker 1: says the Lord. That says the prophet says the Lord,
8:34
Speaker 1: that says the teacher says the Lord. And do not
8:37
Speaker 1: touch what is unclean, what is unclean. You already know
8:40
Speaker 1: what's unclean. I don't have to preach that. I have
8:43
Speaker 1: to teach that. You know the things that are unclean.
8:45
Speaker 1: And then God says, I will graciously receive you and
8:49
Speaker 1: welcome you with favor. Like we have to do our part,
8:54
Speaker 1: and God's already doing his part. Right, So it seems
8:57
Speaker 1: like according to this scripture, right since the joint, I
8:59
Speaker 1: see you good more, I God blessed you welcome back
9:01
Speaker 1: to the morning Devo, my sister and my friend. Man,
9:05
Speaker 1: I have to make that correction. I can't believe I
9:07
Speaker 1: put the wrong reference in the notes, but the right
9:11
Speaker 1: scripture in the study. Praise God. Amen. The mistakes too,
9:15
Speaker 1: because it proves that I gotta humble myself and realize
9:19
Speaker 1: that I do make mistakes and I have to check myself.
9:23
Speaker 1: Humility is powerful, man, especially in the body of Christ.
9:25
Speaker 1: When you humble yourself and you're willing to be corrected, Amen,
9:30
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing because then God can say, Okay,
9:34
Speaker 1: you went in a kind of like wrong direction right there,
9:37
Speaker 1: but you're willing to humble yourself, be corrected and then
9:39
Speaker 1: move forward from there. But if you're not willing to
9:42
Speaker 1: be corrected, you're not willing to be confronted. You're trying
9:44
Speaker 1: to hide stuff and you're trying to do a B
9:46
Speaker 1: and C. God's not gonna bless that. He's not gonna
9:50
Speaker 1: welcome that, Amen, because he knows we can we can
9:53
Speaker 1: go in the right direction. He does have to force
9:57
Speaker 1: us we could go in the right direction when we
9:58
Speaker 1: trust him. A lot of my walk, at least personally
10:02
Speaker 1: for me, it's about trusting God. Amen. I'll just trust God.
10:06
Speaker 1: And if i'm I know when I'm going in the
10:09
Speaker 1: wrong direction. I know when my thoughts are going the
10:11
Speaker 1: wrong way. We'men So I wheel that in and bring
10:14
Speaker 1: it to the Lord, not really in and bring it
10:16
Speaker 1: to my friend, not really and confess it to my brother.
10:19
Speaker 1: Even though that's good a man, is nothing wrong with that.
10:22
Speaker 1: But you know, and I know where the source is.
10:25
Speaker 1: The source of deliverance is the Lord Jesus. Source of power,
10:28
Speaker 1: the source of love, the source of grace, the source
10:30
Speaker 1: of mercy, the source of forgiveness, the source of eternal
10:34
Speaker 1: life is the Lord Jesus. So let's not try to
10:37
Speaker 1: avoid the source. Let's go to him. Amen. And he's
10:41
Speaker 1: full of grace, he's full of truth, he's full of mercy.
10:44
Speaker 1: A lot of people think, oh, if I go to
10:45
Speaker 1: God with this man, it's curtains his punishment. I'm not
10:48
Speaker 1: gonna be able to Minis, I'm not gonna be able
10:49
Speaker 1: to do this. I'm not gonna be able to do that.
10:52
Speaker 1: Be careful with those type of ways of thinking, because
10:55
Speaker 1: that's not the God that we serve. The God that
10:58
Speaker 1: we serve is approachable when you go to him with
11:00
Speaker 1: your honest heart. Contrary, heart, you're not only in remorse,
11:05
Speaker 1: but you want to repent. Amen. He's not going to
11:08
Speaker 1: turn away. He's not going to turn this away to
11:10
Speaker 1: get out of here. I don't got time for you.
11:12
Speaker 1: Or he's not gonna say, oh, you're doing that again, right, No,
11:15
Speaker 1: it's not going to be that way. Amen. Read the scriptures,
11:18
Speaker 1: see what the apostles were talking about, you know, and
11:23
Speaker 1: see the experience. What I'm talking about. God is a
11:26
Speaker 1: forgiving God, a merciful God, a gracious God. Amen. If
11:31
Speaker 1: staying in a place, or in a community, or in
11:36
Speaker 1: a group, or in a chat or on social media
11:41
Speaker 1: or whatever you are online, if staying leads to moral compromise,
11:47
Speaker 1: it's better to walk away, get up out of there.
11:49
Speaker 1: And men, seriously, is it worth your eternal soul to
11:56
Speaker 1: stay in a situation that since everybody else is doing
11:59
Speaker 1: it and it's a hush molde, nobody's saying nothing about it,
12:03
Speaker 1: do you think it's worth staying there and compromising your morality,
12:07
Speaker 1: compromising your walk, compromising your integrity, compromising your salvation. Amen,
12:13
Speaker 1: just because everybody else is doing it and you're in
12:16
Speaker 1: now and you're cool now, it's not worth it. Man,
12:19
Speaker 1: it's not an even exchange. The devil is a liar,
12:22
Speaker 1: and he wants everything to be corrupt. He wants everything
12:25
Speaker 1: to be broken up, he wants everything to go his
12:27
Speaker 1: way because he's a hater of God's creation. Man, well, God,
12:32
Speaker 1: bless you, welcome back to the morning. Devote my brother
12:34
Speaker 1: and my friend. So let's go for it. Man, I
12:36
Speaker 1: mean we could do this. Let's stay out of the
12:38
Speaker 1: way of situations. Now. I love the Word of God
12:42
Speaker 1: because it doesn't say don't be friends but unbeliever. It's
12:47
Speaker 1: obviously if an unbeliever doesn't have a Christian friend, how
12:51
Speaker 1: would they know about the Gospel? If I, unbelieving it,
12:53
Speaker 1: never hears a preacher or sees an example of God's
12:56
Speaker 1: work in somebody else's life, how would they want Jesus
13:00
Speaker 1: at all? But the Bible does say don't stay attached.
13:06
Speaker 1: Right old Covenant says a question brings up quessure. How
13:09
Speaker 1: could a man, young man keep his waist pure by
13:12
Speaker 1: hiding his word, God's word in your heart? Right? A
13:17
Speaker 1: Bible palm says, Blessed are those who do not join
13:21
Speaker 1: with the wicked. In other words, you're not doing the
13:23
Speaker 1: same thing. You're not in cahoots. You're not forming a
13:27
Speaker 1: plan with wicked people and then you know doing it,
13:32
Speaker 1: and man, you're not together tied in. We're supposed to
13:35
Speaker 1: come out from among them unbelievers, right, when we come
13:39
Speaker 1: out from them, it's just because we're gonna show them
13:42
Speaker 1: a different way. If you're in the same way and
13:45
Speaker 1: doing the same thing, then you're all going in the
13:47
Speaker 1: wrong direction. But if you come out from under them.
13:49
Speaker 1: A lot of people are scared of doing that because
13:51
Speaker 1: they could feel like, oh, now they get appointed me.
13:53
Speaker 1: Now they got to think that I'm holier than them.
13:55
Speaker 1: They're gonna ridicule me. They gotta make fun of me. Listen,
13:58
Speaker 1: if that's all they're gonna do, praise the Lord. Right,
14:02
Speaker 1: but come out from among them. You're right, And it
14:05
Speaker 1: was that was in my head. Bad company corrupts good manners,
14:10
Speaker 1: good character. Right, you're right, Like, I can't beat around
14:16
Speaker 1: the bush man. I know what crowd I should be in. Right.
14:21
Speaker 1: If I try to fit in in another crowd sooner
14:26
Speaker 1: or later, right, it's going to affect my walk, It's
14:30
Speaker 1: going to affect my way of thinking, it's going to
14:32
Speaker 1: affect my morality, it's going to affect my manners. It's
14:36
Speaker 1: going to affect my character, It's going to affect my behavior.
14:40
Speaker 1: Why do you don't you think it would do that
14:41
Speaker 1: for you as well? Right to be honest. Right, I
14:45
Speaker 1: love you guys, I love you girls out there, guys
14:47
Speaker 1: out there, Let's speak truth. It's truth and love. It's
14:52
Speaker 1: time sugar coating, hiding, weeping, things under the rug, all
14:59
Speaker 1: that stuff. God sees it all. There's nothing I could
15:02
Speaker 1: hide from the Lord. Nothing you can hide from the Lord.
15:04
Speaker 1: He sees. Everything is made bear in the sight of
15:07
Speaker 1: the Lord. Only with our eyes are we look and
15:13
Speaker 1: see the reward of the wicked. Yes, thousand will fall,
15:17
Speaker 1: So I left, thousand fall to our right. O. That's
15:20
Speaker 1: the due opposite left right now, and you'll notice that
15:24
Speaker 1: you'll stay standing, and you'll see the wicked fall. And
15:29
Speaker 1: yet you're standing. Why because you've got something going on
15:32
Speaker 1: by yourself. Know, it's because of the grace of God
15:34
Speaker 1: in your life, over your life, through your life, the
15:36
Speaker 1: protection of God. Amen. And you choose daily to serve Him,
15:41
Speaker 1: to serve the Lord, and to do what's right. It's
15:43
Speaker 1: not like rocket science right, because wrong is always wrong,
15:49
Speaker 1: right is always right. Right would never be wrong, and wrong,
15:52
Speaker 1: would never be right, light would never be dark, dark
15:54
Speaker 1: would never be like you know what I'm saying, Like
15:56
Speaker 1: we know these things, just that we to move in
16:00
Speaker 1: those directions. There's no there's no there's no other way
16:04
Speaker 1: around it. I mean, it's like playing eternal Russian moulette
16:10
Speaker 1: with your soul when you're doing things opposite of what
16:14
Speaker 1: you know not to do. I've been there. Thank you
16:19
Speaker 1: for your honesty, man, Well so have I. Hey man,
16:24
Speaker 1: the world system and what the world offers is like
16:26
Speaker 1: a huge magnet, and if you're not careful, you just
16:31
Speaker 1: be drawn to it. I noticed for me, I don't
16:33
Speaker 1: know about anybody else, but what I what I stare at,
16:36
Speaker 1: what I glance over, what I watch the most, attracts
16:41
Speaker 1: me the most, right, and it draws me towards whatever
16:45
Speaker 1: I'm watching, whatever I'm looking at, whatever I'm staring at. Right,
16:50
Speaker 1: when you're driving, if you're not careful, you can get
16:54
Speaker 1: your eyes looking that way and you're trying to drive straight.
16:58
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work out. Think about it, amen, It's
17:02
Speaker 1: the same way in life. Sister Joan says, that is good.
17:05
Speaker 1: That works it some waves. Last night I had a
17:09
Speaker 1: phone call and my daughter hasn't talked to me for
17:12
Speaker 1: three years. She finally came and she talked to me
17:16
Speaker 1: and her father. I think the Lord loved my kids
17:18
Speaker 1: so much. Amen. Amen, it's never too late. It could
17:22
Speaker 1: be my last breath and somebody might get saved, or
17:29
Speaker 1: somebody might talk to me that they haven't sucked me
17:31
Speaker 1: in the years, and the same way for them as well.
17:34
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing that, sister, Joan. That's beautiful. He
17:37
Speaker 1: worked grace. That's right. God's riches at Christ's expense. It
17:42
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good, Well, it's dropping it. You're right. Influence.
17:48
Speaker 1: Either we're gonna be an influencer or we're gonna be influenced.
17:53
Speaker 1: And man, I look at the younger generation. I'm like, man,
17:58
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on younger generation. This thing
18:01
Speaker 1: is compelling them to do things immediately. That's not right.
18:07
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up with this. And those who are
18:09
Speaker 1: over forty five forty, we know we didn't grow up
18:14
Speaker 1: with this. This came along. We know how to use
18:17
Speaker 1: it because it's not hard to use, Amen. But the
18:20
Speaker 1: generation before me, they look at this and it's difficult
18:23
Speaker 1: for them to even use it. The phone, tablets, mobile devices,
18:29
Speaker 1: they're like man, I don't need that. I have some
18:31
Speaker 1: friends that don't even wand to mess with it, and
18:33
Speaker 1: that's good. I think they're free. I'm on here all
18:36
Speaker 1: the time though, social media platforms and all that stuff.
18:39
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to make an exodus coming soon, amen.
18:42
Speaker 1: I've been talking about it so long, praying about it
18:44
Speaker 1: a long time. Something has come to my attention by
18:48
Speaker 1: way of my sister, Miriam Kleebayo. You need to go
18:51
Speaker 1: follow her. If you're not following her. She's doing some
18:54
Speaker 1: online things and some businesses that you might be interested in.
18:59
Speaker 1: Just look her up. But the thing is, she introduced
19:01
Speaker 1: something to me, and I was like, man, that's what
19:03
Speaker 1: I've I've been asking for years about. Hey, anybody has
19:07
Speaker 1: a platform out there that we can get out of
19:09
Speaker 1: the social media platform. We could just make moves on
19:12
Speaker 1: something else. And it looks like something's being developed or
19:15
Speaker 1: has been developed. I'm just waiting it to roll out,
19:18
Speaker 1: waiting to test it myself. Amen. They launched, I believe yesterday.
19:23
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. That's coming soon though. Yeah, I
19:28
Speaker 1: have to testify, my brother. If I don't testify, people
19:31
Speaker 1: are going to have this false notion that I don't
19:33
Speaker 1: go through things. I don't struggle, I'm not tempted. And unfortunately,
19:38
Speaker 1: there's some people online on these platforms that call themselves
19:41
Speaker 1: evangelists as well. It seems like they'll pretty much perfect right,
19:47
Speaker 1: and they don't want to admit anything. They just, you know,
19:51
Speaker 1: the preach the word good, praise God. A man. I
19:53
Speaker 1: follow a lot of evangelists online. Not a lot, I
19:56
Speaker 1: shouldn't say a lot. I follow a couple of evangelists
19:58
Speaker 1: online that really inspire me. And the thing is, the
20:02
Speaker 1: secret to inspiration for me and influence for me is
20:05
Speaker 1: when God is using people. Amen, when the word of
20:08
Speaker 1: God is preached and they're speaking the oracles of God
20:14
Speaker 1: and responding and applying the oracles of God, that draws me. Amen.
20:18
Speaker 1: I don't need no gimmicks. I don't need no drop
20:20
Speaker 1: Mike moments. I don't need no sayings. I don't need
20:22
Speaker 1: some cliche. I want you to go to the word,
20:25
Speaker 1: so inspire me to go to the word. I'm trying
20:27
Speaker 1: to inspire you to go to the word, Amen, so
20:30
Speaker 1: we could get the right word in our lives. Amen.
20:33
Speaker 1: This day, choose wisely who you will serve. You are
20:38
Speaker 1: absolutely right, this is amazing like where we are in
20:43
Speaker 1: life right now, we are on a time that we
20:45
Speaker 1: could literally literally do things in an immediate way. Some
20:53
Speaker 1: is dangerous to some is good. If you're compromising your
20:58
Speaker 1: faith or you're compromising reality by staying in the same situation,
21:02
Speaker 1: think about it. Joseph ran from Pollifa's wife to avoid
21:07
Speaker 1: sin Genesis thirty nine to twelve. Scripture actually says in
21:12
Speaker 1: One Corinthians six eighteen, right to flee from sexual immorality.
21:19
Speaker 1: First Corinthan sixty eighteen, run don't stay there. You're being compromised.
21:26
Speaker 1: Of course the Second corinthin sixty seventeen, where we read
21:28
Speaker 1: come out from among them and be e separate. If
21:33
Speaker 1: you don't have peace where you are, that means strife
21:36
Speaker 1: is going to dominate. If you don't have peace where
21:37
Speaker 1: you are, it means chaos is going to dominate. I'm
21:39
Speaker 1: out of time, Amen, started late, but I'm out of time. Amen.
21:43
Speaker 1: I hope you're getting what God is giving. Amen. Have
21:47
Speaker 1: a great weekend, y'ard go to Second Corinthians. Where were we?
21:50
Speaker 1: Second Corinthians Chapter six, week the whole chapter for yourself.
21:53
Speaker 1: We can't out of verse number seventeen. Remember what God
21:57
Speaker 1: is speaking. Remember his word. Amen, apply his word and
22:00
Speaker 1: your day to day, have a great weekend till the
22:02
Speaker 1: next time. God bless you all, God keep you all,
22:05
Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace.
