0:03
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning family, God bless you. Welcome back
0:06
Speaker 1: to the morning. Devo. I hope you had a great
0:08
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend. From the time of this recording. We
0:11
Speaker 1: just finished Labor Day on weekend, and it means that
0:14
Speaker 1: it spells the last part of the summer season, Amen,
0:19
Speaker 1: almost coming to an end, and then we're getting into
0:22
Speaker 1: fall and then winter. Amen. And just like that. That's
0:26
Speaker 1: how fast time is going, right. It seems like yesterday
0:29
Speaker 1: summer just started, and now too, you know, in a
0:33
Speaker 1: couple of days or it's official soon that summer time
0:38
Speaker 1: is over. That's how fast it happens. Man. So if
0:42
Speaker 1: you think that time is just waiting for you, like
0:45
Speaker 1: my great uncle used to tell me, mes so rest
0:49
Speaker 1: in peace. He used to always say sun time waits
0:52
Speaker 1: for no one. And he's so right, Amen. And it's
0:55
Speaker 1: so true. As I get older, Amen, I started realizing
0:59
Speaker 1: how true that is. Time is just flying by. There's
1:03
Speaker 1: no time to waste. There's only time to cherish and
1:06
Speaker 1: really be grateful that God is doing what he's doing
1:10
Speaker 1: in your life and in my life during the time
1:13
Speaker 1: that we do have. Amen. So listen, we're on this
1:17
Speaker 1: thing or series or how we want to call it God.
1:20
Speaker 1: It's not letting it go. And yet he wants us
1:23
Speaker 1: to know about lying, telling the truth, the benefits of
1:29
Speaker 1: telling the truth, and the consequences of lying. This one
1:35
Speaker 1: is called lies. Don't benefit say that real slow with me.
1:41
Speaker 1: Lies do not don't benefit anyone, doesn't benefit you, doesn't
1:48
Speaker 1: benefit me. We're going to be and we're gonna start
1:51
Speaker 1: in Psalms chapter sixty three, verse number eleven on today's
1:55
Speaker 1: Morning Devo. We got any questions, comments, concerns, or any requests.
2:00
Speaker 1: Don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That's
2:02
Speaker 1: what we're here for. If this is your first time
2:05
Speaker 1: on the Morning Deva, Welcome. Whether you're listening from Soul
2:08
Speaker 1: Winners with his z dot org, or you're watching at
2:11
Speaker 1: live that someone is with his z dot org, or
2:14
Speaker 1: you're watching somewhere on social media through my YouTube or
2:19
Speaker 1: all the pages out of streaming right now, Welcome. We
2:22
Speaker 1: love first time visitors. Don't be a stranger after this though.
2:26
Speaker 1: It's not a coincidence that you got onto our page. Amen,
2:31
Speaker 1: it's a divine appointment. God lines things up according to
2:35
Speaker 1: his will and his purpose for your life and for
2:37
Speaker 1: my life. There's no accidents with the Lord. There's no
2:41
Speaker 1: con coincidences with the Lord. Amen. There's only connections that
2:46
Speaker 1: he wants to make between him and his people. Amen.
2:51
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you're here, so the morning devo lies
2:54
Speaker 1: don't benefit Psalm sixty three and eleven. Amen. Let me
2:58
Speaker 1: just make sure I share this on to the website
3:02
Speaker 1: as well. Amen. Thank you so much for all the
3:04
Speaker 1: people who came through during his Labor Day weekend and
3:08
Speaker 1: check me out on Celebradio Network. It was a lot
3:11
Speaker 1: of fun. It was a pleasure, Amen. And I'm humbled
3:14
Speaker 1: by that that you would come through and check your
3:17
Speaker 1: brother out. Amen. And I see the numbers, Amen, they're encouraging.
3:22
Speaker 1: Usually during this time, people start coming home from vacations
3:28
Speaker 1: or whatever like that, and they start focusing more on
3:31
Speaker 1: the things of God, and they get back to church
3:34
Speaker 1: and they start listening to the ministries like mine, and
3:36
Speaker 1: they get on Christian radio shows and all that stuff.
3:40
Speaker 1: And I see the number already rising. So that's all
3:43
Speaker 1: glory to God. Amen. I hope the trend continues all
3:46
Speaker 1: throughout the year, that our numbers will increase and we'll
3:49
Speaker 1: be back to where we were before I had to
3:51
Speaker 1: change over to this content delivery network that I'm on now, Amen.
3:59
Speaker 1: Years a couple of years back, we used to have
4:02
Speaker 1: twenty thirty thousand or forty thousand people a man in
4:07
Speaker 1: a week listening, and man were striving to get back
4:10
Speaker 1: to that as we moved on to another content network. Amen.
4:15
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's share this out. But
4:18
Speaker 1: before we share this out, we're gonna pray first. Amen.
4:21
Speaker 1: Let me just make sure I did this right and
4:23
Speaker 1: we're good here and the sound sounds okay. Make sure
4:27
Speaker 1: you let me know if you have any issues with
4:29
Speaker 1: sound or any issues like that. You can let me
4:32
Speaker 1: know on a live chat in the studio this time
4:34
Speaker 1: of the morning. You already know it's a one man band.
4:38
Speaker 1: No one's getting up this early with me to help
4:41
Speaker 1: me in the studio or to monitor anything for me
4:45
Speaker 1: in the studio. So I'm relying on you, the people
4:48
Speaker 1: who are listening and watching, to let a brother know
4:51
Speaker 1: if there's any issues. Which sound okay. So it looks
4:54
Speaker 1: like we're good everywhere podcasts, radio, livestream and also all
4:59
Speaker 1: the media platforms. Amen, So let's pray. Father. I thank
5:03
Speaker 1: you so much that you told us the ultimate truth
5:05
Speaker 1: about your son Jesus that he came virgin birth, lived
5:11
Speaker 1: a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose again
5:16
Speaker 1: on the third day, the ultimate truth. And you have
5:19
Speaker 1: the ultimate truth teller. So we want to imitate your truth.
5:22
Speaker 1: We want to imitrate, imitate your life, Lord Jesus, of
5:25
Speaker 1: how you told the truth and love, and that you
5:27
Speaker 1: have victory over death itself, and we are no longer
5:32
Speaker 1: bound to sin. We're no longer bound to the law
5:35
Speaker 1: of sin and death, and we are dead to sin
5:39
Speaker 1: and alive in Christ. That is the truth. Love God,
5:41
Speaker 1: Thank you for your word, speaking truth, allowing us to
5:45
Speaker 1: know the truth, and making your truth available to all
5:48
Speaker 1: those whosoevers who call upon your name to be saved.
5:52
Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that you would touch our lives continuously,
5:56
Speaker 1: that we would know who you are in a profound way,
6:00
Speaker 1: in a strong and powerful way, and that holy Spirit
6:02
Speaker 1: you will concede to teach and touch and reveal yourself,
6:06
Speaker 1: that we will find ourselves close and clean because of
6:10
Speaker 1: your word, because of your truth. Pray I hedge your
6:12
Speaker 1: protection right now, a hedge of protection angelic hosts, angels
6:16
Speaker 1: of war that will guard, goide and protect me, my family,
6:20
Speaker 1: our studio, our organizations, that we're part of and our
6:23
Speaker 1: businesses that we run, and I pray the same over
6:26
Speaker 1: every single person on the other side of the screen
6:28
Speaker 1: and on the other side of it is Mike, the
6:30
Speaker 1: power of God to really engulf your life, and the
6:35
Speaker 1: Angel of the Lord that's assigned to all those who
6:38
Speaker 1: love you, Lord God, that that Angel of the Lord
6:40
Speaker 1: will be on full alert for the rest of our lives.
6:44
Speaker 1: When I pray, the Lord God, I had you protection
6:46
Speaker 1: over my children from the oldest of the very youngest,
6:49
Speaker 1: and everyone in between, my whole entire bloodline and the
6:52
Speaker 1: bloodlines that are represented on the other side of the screen,
6:55
Speaker 1: and on the other side it is Mike and Jesus' name.
6:57
Speaker 1: I pray. It's by faith. All those who agree and
7:00
Speaker 1: know the power prayer, we all say amen and amen.
7:03
Speaker 1: The power prayers available to all those who pray to
7:06
Speaker 1: the True God, the only True God, the Living, loving, Holy,
7:10
Speaker 1: Righteous God, the Lord Jesus. So I'll be right back.
7:12
Speaker 1: Take sixty seconds with me, help me share this side.
7:15
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll dive right into Psalms chat
7:18
Speaker 1: the number sixty three, verse number eleven. We're calling this
7:21
Speaker 1: one lies don't benefit today On the morning devo. I'll
7:25
Speaker 1: be right back and man and man, we're back. I'm
8:41
Speaker 1: all smiley today. I think I got good rest, even
8:44
Speaker 1: though it seemed like my mind never shut off. How
8:47
Speaker 1: many people know what that means. When you're sleeping, your
8:49
Speaker 1: mind is still racing and then you open your eyes
8:53
Speaker 1: and you're like, what time is it? That type of thing. Amen.
8:56
Speaker 1: I was so eager to come to the studio and
8:59
Speaker 1: to get this word into our lives. Amen, so that
9:02
Speaker 1: way we could start our week off after this holiday weekend.
9:06
Speaker 1: If you didn't have to work yesterday. From the time
9:08
Speaker 1: of this recording, Amen, you have rest. I hope you
9:12
Speaker 1: experience rest, and we got ultimate rest. It's coming right.
9:16
Speaker 1: We have rest in the Lord Jesus here on this
9:17
Speaker 1: side of eternity, and then we have eternal rest when
9:20
Speaker 1: we get to the Kingdom of God, which is the
9:23
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven, and be with our Lord and savior,
9:26
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus, for all eternity. But in the meantime,
9:30
Speaker 1: let's get to work. Let's get busy. Let's get our
9:32
Speaker 1: knowledge and wisdom right in the world of God. So
9:35
Speaker 1: let me get this ready for the screens, so that
9:37
Speaker 1: way you could know what we're all talking about here,
9:40
Speaker 1: and for those who are just listening, no worries. Although
9:42
Speaker 1: you can't see by choice, you can't see what's on
9:46
Speaker 1: the screen because maybe you're driving, maybe you're jogging, working out. Amen.
9:51
Speaker 1: I love audio. If it was up to me, I'll
9:54
Speaker 1: do audio only. But we're in a social media world, right.
9:58
Speaker 1: People want to see images and people want to se
10:00
Speaker 1: see talking heads for whatever reason. Amen, And I respect that,
10:04
Speaker 1: just like I respect the people who just want to
10:06
Speaker 1: listen and watch and watch the video later at their
10:10
Speaker 1: own time if they want to. Amen. So it's your choice.
10:13
Speaker 1: Thank you either way for connecting with us over here
10:16
Speaker 1: as soone is with a z org and celebrate a network.
10:20
Speaker 1: So when is ink as well? Amen? So let's put
10:22
Speaker 1: this on the screen. Don't lies don't benefit, So don't
10:27
Speaker 1: believe the hype. Right, that's one of those slogans that
10:33
Speaker 1: I grew up listening to. Don't believe the hype. Lies
10:37
Speaker 1: don't benefit, they don't. If you think about it, you'll
10:42
Speaker 1: know that to be true. The devil is a liar.
10:45
Speaker 1: How about that? That's the truth. God tells the truth
10:49
Speaker 1: never lies. That's the truth. Right, will always be right? Wrong?
10:52
Speaker 1: Wouldever always be wrong? Wrong will never be right, and
10:55
Speaker 1: right would never be wrong. That's the truth. So when
10:59
Speaker 1: you go along those lines and you see how beneficial
11:02
Speaker 1: telling the truth is, you'll know that the opposite applies.
11:05
Speaker 1: Lies don't benefit Amen, doesn't benefit anyone. Now, there's certain
11:10
Speaker 1: scenarios that come up when you think about lying. There
11:14
Speaker 1: certain scenarios that God will judge. Right. We're not the
11:18
Speaker 1: judge of that. But let's get to the scripture before
11:21
Speaker 1: we start talking about the scenarios Psalms sixty three, Verse
11:24
Speaker 1: number eleven. But the King will rejoice in God. Everyone
11:30
Speaker 1: who swears by him, honoring the true God, acknowledging his
11:36
Speaker 1: authority and majesty, will glory. For the miles of those
11:44
Speaker 1: who speak lies will be stopped. Hallelujah, Glory to God. Amen.
11:52
Speaker 1: We know that the moles of those who speak lies
11:57
Speaker 1: will be stopped. The moles of those people who are
12:00
Speaker 1: talking trash about our Lord and our Savior, who mock him,
12:05
Speaker 1: who say he's immoral, that say his word is not true,
12:11
Speaker 1: that say that Christianity is false and phony, and that
12:14
Speaker 1: it's a cult. All those who speak lies will be stopped. Amen.
12:21
Speaker 1: But my prayer as a believer in Christ is that
12:24
Speaker 1: they would turn to the glorious, loving, holy, righteous God
12:29
Speaker 1: of heaven and Earth, the Trian You, God, Father, Son,
12:32
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit God, that they would stop and think about
12:36
Speaker 1: what they're saying, and when they realize what they're saying
12:40
Speaker 1: is not true, they will realize the lies are not
12:43
Speaker 1: benefiting them. But actually the God of heaven and Earth
12:47
Speaker 1: comes against and stops those who speak lies. And the
12:51
Speaker 1: enemy of our souls wants us all to believe that
12:55
Speaker 1: there is no God. So it's it's a mystery to
13:00
Speaker 1: me why people don't believe God. I know who's behind
13:04
Speaker 1: that that thoughts, that thought process, and that's the line
13:08
Speaker 1: Devil himself. He doesn't want people to know the truth
13:11
Speaker 1: of who God is. So therefore he has a lot
13:13
Speaker 1: of people deceived, and unfortunately a lot of people believe
13:18
Speaker 1: his word over the word of God because he's a
13:22
Speaker 1: deceiver and he's been alive since the beginning. The Bible says,
13:26
Speaker 1: in him there is no truth. He has no love
13:29
Speaker 1: in his soul or in his being for you and
13:33
Speaker 1: for me. He hates all of God's creation. So when
13:37
Speaker 1: people say there was no God and there's no evidence
13:39
Speaker 1: this that the third I know who they're listening to
13:42
Speaker 1: I used to be one of those people who used
13:44
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I know, there's a God,
13:46
Speaker 1: but he's not for me. He's not in my life,
13:49
Speaker 1: he's not active in my life, so therefore he doesn't
13:52
Speaker 1: exist for me. He's good for you. You know, that's
13:56
Speaker 1: your truth. I used to say those things, Amen. Post
13:59
Speaker 1: Martin was my way of living when i't even knowing
14:03
Speaker 1: what postmodernism was, you know. And I didn't benefit from
14:09
Speaker 1: speaking that Talking that way, living that way no benefits
14:14
Speaker 1: amen at all. So I understood early in life that lies,
14:20
Speaker 1: lies did not benefit my life. What about you, Amen,
14:25
Speaker 1: here's another one. Here's another one. Psalms twenty four, Verses
14:30
Speaker 1: three and four. Psalms twenty four, three or four. Who
14:34
Speaker 1: may ascend the hill of the Lord, who may stand
14:39
Speaker 1: in his holy place? These are questions he who has
14:43
Speaker 1: clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift
14:47
Speaker 1: up his soul to an idol or swear by what
14:52
Speaker 1: is false. When you believe in a lie, you are
14:56
Speaker 1: actually creating a god an idol, because now you're falsifying
15:03
Speaker 1: the truth. Amen. You're making what's untrue and you're trying
15:08
Speaker 1: to create it to be true, and you're trying to
15:10
Speaker 1: convince everybody else that what you believe and what you're
15:15
Speaker 1: worshiping and what you're doing is true. And when people
15:19
Speaker 1: think about the truth, they think right in the back
15:22
Speaker 1: of the mind, they thinking, well, that benefits me if
15:25
Speaker 1: that's true and that's false. I'd rather follow what's true
15:29
Speaker 1: and then what's false. But in this world happens. You
15:32
Speaker 1: notice that people are going around falsifying the truth. People
15:36
Speaker 1: are going around saying what's good is bad and what's
15:39
Speaker 1: bad is good. People are going around saying, that's your truth,
15:43
Speaker 1: that's not my truth. So live your truth, speak your truth,
15:47
Speaker 1: and leave us to our own truth. People are dividing.
15:52
Speaker 1: We drew a line in the sand, right, and there's
15:56
Speaker 1: people on the side of truth and the people on
15:58
Speaker 1: the other side of that truth. There's people who are
16:01
Speaker 1: saying that there is no God. There's people who are
16:03
Speaker 1: saying there is a God. As if ladies and gentlemen,
16:07
Speaker 1: we decide if God is real or not. Can you imagine, Okay,
16:10
Speaker 1: there is no God and manys of people say, oh, yeah,
16:13
Speaker 1: there is no God, and they say we knew we
16:15
Speaker 1: were right, and they walk away. Meanwhile, there's still God.
16:18
Speaker 1: There's still a God. People who are saying there is
16:20
Speaker 1: a God. I can't prove that the God of the Scriptures,
16:25
Speaker 1: the Holy Bible is the God that we believe in
16:29
Speaker 1: right now, but I know it by way of His
16:32
Speaker 1: Spirit that's inside of me when I call upon the
16:34
Speaker 1: name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. And then it
16:38
Speaker 1: made Holy Spirit available to live inside of every single
16:42
Speaker 1: believer on this planet, and we could testify His love,
16:45
Speaker 1: testify his mercy, testify his truth in our lives, active
16:50
Speaker 1: in our lives as we apply things in our lives. Aymen,
16:56
Speaker 1: the sirens going on around the studio, So we know
17:02
Speaker 1: that God is telling the truth. When we experience His
17:06
Speaker 1: truth living through our lives, it's like no mystery. I
17:10
Speaker 1: don't have to make nothing up and take the weight
17:14
Speaker 1: off your shoulders. If you're that type of person who
17:16
Speaker 1: really believes or thinks that you have to prove the
17:20
Speaker 1: existence of God. That's not our responsibility as believers in
17:25
Speaker 1: Christ to prove that there's a God. You know, who
17:28
Speaker 1: does the convincing Holy Spirit himself convinces people of who
17:34
Speaker 1: he is. God's in a visible God who makes himself known,
17:38
Speaker 1: who makes himself visible to those who are seeking wholeheartedly
17:41
Speaker 1: after truth. If you're seeking wholeheartedly after truth, you're going
17:46
Speaker 1: to have an accountact with the Living God through the
17:48
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, and man guarantee why because He is the truth,
17:54
Speaker 1: and in Jesus there is no lie. He lived a perfect,
17:57
Speaker 1: sinless life on this planet. Demonstrate in his own love
18:00
Speaker 1: in this that while people were still hating on God,
18:04
Speaker 1: he's still regardless, died for you and died for me.
18:09
Speaker 1: Go ahead and find another person, another leader, another person
18:14
Speaker 1: who lived a sinous life. Go ahead and try to
18:16
Speaker 1: find that person, and let me know. People are going
18:19
Speaker 1: around the same lives. That the Gospel is a copy
18:22
Speaker 1: of an ancient civilization. This, that, and the third and
18:25
Speaker 1: that had the same savior, same concept, same creation, and
18:29
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. If it was the same, then
18:31
Speaker 1: there wouldn't be any difference, right. People always say, oh,
18:35
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. Islam is the same as Christianity.
18:39
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. It's all the same God. If
18:42
Speaker 1: it's the same, then it will be the same. But
18:45
Speaker 1: if you're honest, you know these differences. So if something
18:48
Speaker 1: is different, it cannot be the same. It's common sense. Amen.
18:52
Speaker 1: I get on these TikTok lives, and I help my
18:57
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Christ who were you know, they
19:01
Speaker 1: had the platform for debate, and man, bless their souls.
19:05
Speaker 1: I used to do those debates too. But man, people
19:08
Speaker 1: come at you like if you're spewing out things that's
19:12
Speaker 1: going to annihilate society or civilization. And they come with hate, hatred,
19:19
Speaker 1: come with false accusations. They try to quote scriptures way
19:24
Speaker 1: out of context, and then they attack our scriptures. So
19:27
Speaker 1: I'm in the chat with those brothers and sisters trying
19:30
Speaker 1: to help them out all the arrows that are being
19:33
Speaker 1: shot at them, and they're poised in position, and people
19:38
Speaker 1: who are filled with Holy spirit God that they're taking
19:41
Speaker 1: the hits knowing that we're not really being attacked. They
19:45
Speaker 1: don't really hate us per se, our signs don't even
19:48
Speaker 1: know us. They hate our God, who actually they don't
19:52
Speaker 1: know either. So I think it's built off of fear.
19:55
Speaker 1: People are fearful of what they don't understand. To be
20:00
Speaker 1: that way too, I don't understand this, so therefore afraid
20:04
Speaker 1: or angry about what I don't understand, and I'm lashing
20:07
Speaker 1: out at people who have this understanding and I don't
20:11
Speaker 1: have this understanding. People who are speaking truth, and I'm
20:14
Speaker 1: speaking lies. I knew, for deep down my soul that
20:18
Speaker 1: had to be more to life than when I was
20:21
Speaker 1: currently experiencing. Then, So when I came to the last
20:25
Speaker 1: of my last, when the world used me up, and
20:28
Speaker 1: I tried everything the world offered right that would make
20:32
Speaker 1: me successful here, that would make me famous here, that
20:36
Speaker 1: would make me in the loop here, I said, Man,
20:39
Speaker 1: I tried it all, and I'm still empty, unsatisfied. They
20:42
Speaker 1: gotta be more. The devil lied to me so much
20:46
Speaker 1: that I found the truth. Amen, And I believe someone
20:49
Speaker 1: right now who's listening, is someone right now who's watching.
20:52
Speaker 1: You've been lied to by the enemy for so long,
20:55
Speaker 1: all your life, pretty much right that you know deep
20:59
Speaker 1: down aside that has to be your truth, that has
21:01
Speaker 1: to be more to life than what you're currently experiencing.
21:04
Speaker 1: And you finally realize that lies don't benefit finally realize
21:10
Speaker 1: that one day liars and miles will be shut. You
21:13
Speaker 1: finally realize that God doesn't want you to swear by idols.
21:16
Speaker 1: He wants you to know who he is. He doesn't
21:19
Speaker 1: want you to follow after idols. He don't want you
21:21
Speaker 1: to follow after grus. You don't want you to follow
21:24
Speaker 1: ring popular preachers all around the world because they have
21:26
Speaker 1: some kind of annoying on them. He wants you to
21:29
Speaker 1: know the truth of who he is, what he did
21:32
Speaker 1: for you, and what he did for all the eternative world,
21:36
Speaker 1: for all Eternity wants for all through what the Lord
21:39
Speaker 1: Jesus did to find out the truth by looking at Jesus. Amen,
21:46
Speaker 1: that's good news, that's real good news. Proverbs chapter twelve,
21:50
Speaker 1: verse thirteen. An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk,
21:57
Speaker 1: but a righteous man escapes trouble. And how do we
22:01
Speaker 1: escape trouble as a righteous person? We speak truth, and
22:06
Speaker 1: that way we escape the lies. If we babbled and
22:10
Speaker 1: babbled and babbled about lies right, what do you think
22:16
Speaker 1: the result will be in our lives? Do you think
22:19
Speaker 1: people will follow after me if I'm consistently lying and
22:23
Speaker 1: then I'm getting caught and tripped up all of these
22:25
Speaker 1: lies and men? Or do you think people who are
22:29
Speaker 1: lying right now to people have a great following because
22:34
Speaker 1: they're telling the truth? No, for whatever reason, And this
22:38
Speaker 1: is for every person. I believe, every person who's a human.
22:42
Speaker 1: Our fleshly thoughts and our fleshly attitudes, and our natural
22:47
Speaker 1: ways kind of tend to follow things that are destructive.
22:51
Speaker 1: In other words, if something is bad on social media,
22:55
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers and you be like, wow,
22:57
Speaker 1: two point nine million people view this bad video, and
23:00
Speaker 1: then when you're scrolling ten people only you know acknowledge
23:06
Speaker 1: this good person in this good situation. Why is that?
23:11
Speaker 1: Why do you think? I think it's because an unsaved
23:15
Speaker 1: or untransformed person who doesn't know the truth is searching
23:19
Speaker 1: for the truth in every which way they can. And
23:22
Speaker 1: popular opinion, especially on social media, if it's more views
23:27
Speaker 1: than that person or that event or that thing is true.
23:30
Speaker 1: And if it's less views, that person or that event
23:33
Speaker 1: or that situation is a lie. That's not the way
23:37
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God works. That's not the way the
23:39
Speaker 1: Word of God speaks about about truth. Truth is revealed
23:43
Speaker 1: in a person, and that person is the Lord Jesus Christ.
23:46
Speaker 1: Truth is revealed and God Yahweh, the Father. Truth is
23:51
Speaker 1: revealed in Holy Spirit, God Amen. Truth is revealed. It's
23:56
Speaker 1: just that the problem is a lot of people are
23:58
Speaker 1: not seeking truth anymore. They're seeking happiness, pleasure. Right, Sinful
24:05
Speaker 1: lives are pleasurable for a season, and when that season
24:11
Speaker 1: is over, the consequences of the sins, the lies, attitudes,
24:18
Speaker 1: the destructive ways, those consequences pop up, and then you're
24:22
Speaker 1: gonna be like, man, I should not went that way,
24:26
Speaker 1: or how do I get this far away from God?
24:28
Speaker 1: Like so many people say, say I used to be
24:31
Speaker 1: a Christian whatever that means. I don't know what I
24:33
Speaker 1: used to be a Christianist. I think what you're saying
24:36
Speaker 1: is I used to attend church and I had a
24:38
Speaker 1: religious experience, but I never knew Jesus. I think that's
24:42
Speaker 1: what you're really saying. That's the truth. But people who
24:45
Speaker 1: are saying, let's just go down that road for a minute,
24:48
Speaker 1: I used to be a Christian. I read the Bible
24:50
Speaker 1: from cover to cover, which I honestly think if you
24:53
Speaker 1: read the Bible from cover to cover and then you're
24:56
Speaker 1: still saying it's all a lie, I don't think you're
24:58
Speaker 1: telling the truth. By way, I read the Bible from
25:01
Speaker 1: cover to cover. I used to be a Christian. This
25:04
Speaker 1: that and the third and I realized that Jesus is
25:07
Speaker 1: not God, and this that the third. We came to
25:09
Speaker 1: a conclusion based on what you wanted to do. You
25:13
Speaker 1: already had the conclusion deep in your heart that you
25:16
Speaker 1: didn't want to follow any God. You wanted to be
25:20
Speaker 1: your own God. You want a controllable God, a controllable scripture.
25:25
Speaker 1: You wanted to do what you wanted to do by
25:28
Speaker 1: yourself anyway. In other words, you never wanted the truth.
25:34
Speaker 1: That's how I think about people who say that. I
25:36
Speaker 1: don't say that disrespectfully. I say that almost respect I
25:41
Speaker 1: used to be like that. I used to keep everybody
25:44
Speaker 1: who was telling me the truth or speaking the gospel
25:47
Speaker 1: to me, I said, keep them my arm's length. I
25:50
Speaker 1: used to realize, Hey, that's good, makes sense, but it's
25:54
Speaker 1: not for me. That's the way I was amen until
25:57
Speaker 1: God found me where I was to take me to
26:01
Speaker 1: where he is. I was lost. God found me. I
26:06
Speaker 1: was in darkness. God transferred me from my darkness into
26:10
Speaker 1: his marvelous light. I was full of sin, uncontrollable sin.
26:16
Speaker 1: Now I'm dead to sin because of what Jesus did
26:18
Speaker 1: in my life. So the truth and the lies are
26:21
Speaker 1: always being presented. The truth of God is always being presented.
26:25
Speaker 1: The lies of the enemy, the pride of lies, the
26:29
Speaker 1: pride of life, the lust of the flesh, the lust
26:32
Speaker 1: of the eyes, the devil always competing against the one truth.
26:36
Speaker 1: Someone asked me yesterday when we was on that debate
26:40
Speaker 1: on TikTok, how do you know that your religion is
26:44
Speaker 1: the true religion? Have you studied all religions? And I
26:47
Speaker 1: was like, as honests I could be as honest as
26:50
Speaker 1: I could be. I told the person through the chest
26:52
Speaker 1: that I don't have enough time in a whole lifetime
26:55
Speaker 1: to study all religions and compare all religions to my Christ. Amen,
27:02
Speaker 1: I said, neither do you. So we have to make
27:04
Speaker 1: a choice. There's only two ways you could think about it.
27:07
Speaker 1: All religions say that either God is Jesus, and all
27:13
Speaker 1: the other religions say that Jesus is not God. Christianity
27:18
Speaker 1: says that Christ Jesus is God, and every other religion, schism,
27:22
Speaker 1: whatever you want to talk about, says that He's not.
27:26
Speaker 1: So Based on those two, one has to be truth
27:29
Speaker 1: and one has to be alive. I don't have to
27:31
Speaker 1: go through every religion to realize that whether or not,
27:35
Speaker 1: people who are Christ followers, who are filled with the
27:39
Speaker 1: indwelling spirit of the Lord, Amen, we can testify of
27:42
Speaker 1: His goodness, his grace, his mercy, his power, his transformation power,
27:47
Speaker 1: his salvation power. A man we could testify his science,
27:50
Speaker 1: miracles and wonders, and every religion outside of Christ's followers
27:54
Speaker 1: says that it's not true. So why would I have
27:57
Speaker 1: to study every single religion in the planet to come
28:00
Speaker 1: to that conclusion. Lies don't benefit The truth will set
28:05
Speaker 1: you free. Amen. So thank you so much for hanging
28:07
Speaker 1: out with me. I hope you get what I'm trying
28:09
Speaker 1: to say. Take time today read Psalm sixty three, the
28:12
Speaker 1: whole chapter, and I hope your day goes according to
28:15
Speaker 1: the power of God in your life, working through your life.
28:19
Speaker 1: So God bless you all. God keep you all, and
28:22
Speaker 1: remember always that God is good. Peace.
