Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Morning, family, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Devote your bro. Sam Lopez aka DJ Sandbox so win
- 0:11Speaker 1: is with a Z that RG. We're live, Amen, in
- 0:14Speaker 1: full effect for another week, starting of another week. Amen,
- 0:18Speaker 1: and we're here today. I'm gonna simply get right to
- 0:21Speaker 1: the point. A lot of people have pride when it
- 0:25Speaker 1: comes to this topic. Help me, help me. Those two
- 0:31Speaker 1: words can change your whole life if you ask for
- 0:37Speaker 1: help from the right source and the right sources, the
- 0:40Speaker 1: right people, and stay connected so your helpline. Amen. When
- 0:45Speaker 1: you ask for help, you will get it. God wants
- 0:49Speaker 1: us to humble ourselves and ask for help when we
- 0:53Speaker 1: need help. How many people have gone through things that
- 0:56Speaker 1: you know that I know that we can't get through
- 0:59Speaker 1: it ourselves, but because of our pride getting in the way,
- 1:04Speaker 1: we refuse to ask anybody for help. And that's there
- 1:10Speaker 1: is where the problem lies. Means that if we're not
- 1:15Speaker 1: humble enough to ask for help, then we're basically letting
- 1:19Speaker 1: God know that we got this and we're you know, autonomous.
- 1:24Speaker 1: We could self help ourselves, Amen, and get us out
- 1:27Speaker 1: of any situation, any trouble, or anything without God's help
- 1:31Speaker 1: or without God's people Today, we're going to be in
- 1:34Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter six. I think it was interesting that God
- 1:37Speaker 1: led me to this chapter, into this title for today's
- 1:42Speaker 1: more than Devo because of what I'm experiencing right now
- 1:45Speaker 1: in my own mindset. Amen, when it comes to asking
- 1:48Speaker 1: for help, running things, running ministry, being a leader in
- 1:52Speaker 1: my family, a husband, a son, a father, Amen, a minister,
- 1:57Speaker 1: an evangelist. Amen. Sometimes I get in my own way
- 2:03Speaker 1: and I stop asking for help because maybe rejection, maybe
- 2:08Speaker 1: people don't understand me. Or when I do ask for help,
- 2:11Speaker 1: they point fingers back in me and say, oh, you
- 2:13Speaker 1: got it, it's all about you and all that kind
- 2:15Speaker 1: of stuff, and I just shut down and I gotta
- 2:18Speaker 1: stop doing that. And if that's you too, we need
- 2:20Speaker 1: to stop doing that. Together, Let's help one another and
- 2:22Speaker 1: let's ask for help. So today I'm talking about help me.
- 2:25Speaker 1: We're going to be in Proverbs chapter number six, Versus
- 2:29Speaker 1: twenty to twenty two. And what I wrote was is
- 2:32Speaker 1: go to parents and Christian leaders for help. It's time, man,
- 2:37Speaker 1: It's time to let the light of Christ shine Amen
- 2:41Speaker 1: in us and through us and for us, and together
- 2:44Speaker 1: we could get a lot more done. Good morning, Sister Joanne.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I see you, God, bless you. Welcome back to the
- 2:48Speaker 1: morning Deva with my sister and my friend. Amen. So
- 2:51Speaker 1: that's where we're gonna be. That's the vibe for today

- 2:57Speaker 1: Versus twenty to twenty two. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 3:03Speaker 1: or any prayer requests, don't hesitate to leaving on a

- 3:07Speaker 1: we're doing, Amen, as we do moving forward, we always

- 3:14Speaker 1: watching this and something hits you, especially the Word of God.

- 3:59Speaker 1: young adult whatever. There's no curse words, no swearing, no
- 4:03Speaker 1: booty music, no twerk music, none of that stuff on
- 4:06Speaker 1: a celebrated network. So it's an easy way of listening
- 4:09Speaker 1: to something a vibe that will really satisfy your soul
- 4:12Speaker 1: and will inspire you, lift you up, and won't beat
- 4:15Speaker 1: you down and won't make you angry. Amen, It'll keep
- 4:17Speaker 1: you going and it'll humble you just like it humbles me.
- 4:21Speaker 1: As we add to each other for help. If you
- 4:23Speaker 1: ask the right people, I'm going to emphasize the right
- 4:26Speaker 1: people for help and go to the right source for help.
- 4:29Speaker 1: You will get the help that you need, Amen, to
- 4:31Speaker 1: move forward in life, because we can't do this alone.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I figured that out a long time ago, and I
- 4:37Speaker 1: don't know how people continue to believe that they could
- 4:39Speaker 1: do this all by themselves. Life is a one time deal, Amen,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and it goes spy so fast. I was telling the
- 4:46Speaker 1: Brother in Christ yesterday we were having a barbecue after
- 4:49Speaker 1: my church service last yesterday, and we were just looking
- 4:54Speaker 1: at each other and saying what happened? Amen, I remember
- 4:56Speaker 1: being that young and now look we're in our fifties
- 5:00Speaker 1: and time just flies by a man. So if you're
- 5:03Speaker 1: one of those people who think, well, I got time
- 5:05Speaker 1: to do this, and I got that time to do that,
- 5:06Speaker 1: praise God and man, hopefully you'll get that time to
- 5:10Speaker 1: do whatever you plan. Right. But we know that God
- 5:12Speaker 1: looks at our plans and he'll judge our plans, and
- 5:15Speaker 1: it's him who decides whether our plans are to come
- 5:17Speaker 1: to pass or not. But if we're in the wrong
- 5:19Speaker 1: source of those plans, if we're going to the people
- 5:22Speaker 1: that don't care about us, who are going to people
- 5:25Speaker 1: who want the worst for you, instead of going to
- 5:27Speaker 1: God who wants the best for you, Amen, those plans
- 5:30Speaker 1: might not come to pass because we refuse to ask
- 5:33Speaker 1: the main source, the one who loves us, a man,
- 5:36Speaker 1: the one who connects us to the right source, a man,
- 5:38Speaker 1: which is the Lord. We forget that he ultimately will
- 5:42Speaker 1: give us the right help that we need, and everything
- 5:45Speaker 1: else falls on the wayside. We don't need that type
- 5:48Speaker 1: of help from anybody else. So questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Right now, we're gonna pray first. After we pray, you're
- 5:55Speaker 1: gonna help me share this out for like sixty seconds.
- 5:57Speaker 1: A man, help a brother out, help me right, help
- 6:00Speaker 1: me share this out to as many people as possible
- 6:02Speaker 1: in the sixty seconds, and then when we come back,
- 6:04Speaker 1: we'll get right into Proverbs chapter number six, verses twenty
- 6:08Speaker 1: to twenty two. Today in the morning, devo, let me

- 8:53Speaker 1: back and Amen, we are back and full effect. Let's
- 10:28Speaker 1: go forward. Let's see what the Word has for us today. Amen,
- 10:32Speaker 1: the inspired word of God, which is always true all
- 10:36Speaker 1: the time. The Word of God always shows up on
- 10:39Speaker 1: time in my life and in your life. Think about it.
- 10:43Speaker 1: When you read the word, what happens this transformation in
- 10:45Speaker 1: the way of your thinking? Why? Because the Word of
- 10:48Speaker 1: God says, God's ways are not like our ways, and
- 10:52Speaker 1: his thoughts are not like our thoughts. So therefore he's
- 10:56Speaker 1: advancing us into his way of thinking. He's advancing us
- 11:00Speaker 1: into his way of moving. Amen. I want to move
- 11:03Speaker 1: like Holy Spirit directs me to move. I want to
- 11:06Speaker 1: be guided by him, so that way I don't go
- 11:08Speaker 1: to the left or to the right on my own
- 11:09Speaker 1: and get lost somewhere, or get knocked down or get
- 11:12Speaker 1: left behind somewhere. I want to be on track, a
- 11:15Speaker 1: man of what the Lord is doing in my life,
- 11:17Speaker 1: and I want him to be in your life as well.
- 11:20Speaker 1: And how you do that? How do we be on
- 11:22Speaker 1: the same page. We follow the scriptures. Amen. We don't
- 11:25Speaker 1: complicate things, we don't overthink things. We just move according
- 11:28Speaker 1: to the scripture, move according to the scripture, and we
- 11:31Speaker 1: stay in His word and his plan. So that way, amen,
- 11:36Speaker 1: we could know on what we're doing is right. The
- 11:38Speaker 1: right thing to do is to follow the Lord. Amen.
- 11:41Speaker 1: So let's go for it. This one's called to help me.
- 11:43Speaker 1: We're gonna be In Proverbs chapter number six, verses twenty
- 11:48Speaker 1: to twenty two. Let's go for it. Let's see if
- 11:51Speaker 1: I'm on the right thing. Here, Here we go. Amen,
- 11:57Speaker 1: it goes the verse up, got spend crazy? Here you
- 12:02Speaker 1: just a little lagging, but we're here forever six twenty
- 12:05Speaker 1: to twenty two. My son, obey your father's commands and
- 12:10Speaker 1: don't neglect your mother's instruction. In other words, if you
- 12:14Speaker 1: have parents that I want to say that are inspired
- 12:18Speaker 1: by God, even though it might not necessarily say that,
- 12:22Speaker 1: But I tend to believe that God's not going to
- 12:26Speaker 1: acces us to follow our father's commands if he's in
- 12:29Speaker 1: the atheist, or to follow your mother's instruction if she's awakened. Right,
- 12:36Speaker 1: I believe these are inspire words by directing us to
- 12:40Speaker 1: inspired people, inspired parents who either love God or a
- 12:45Speaker 1: following the path of God's work. My son, obey your
- 12:50Speaker 1: father's commands and don't neglect your mother's instruction. Keep their
- 12:54Speaker 1: words always in your heart, Tie them around your neck
- 12:59Speaker 1: when you walk. Their counsel will lead you when you sleep,
- 13:03Speaker 1: They will protect you. When you wake up. They will
- 13:06Speaker 1: advise you. Now, it's either one or the other. It's
- 13:09Speaker 1: either the words of the instructions of your parents, is
- 13:15Speaker 1: what's going to always be in your heart, or is
- 13:18Speaker 1: going to be the words that were inspired by God,
- 13:23Speaker 1: that was spoken through your parents, that are always be
- 13:26Speaker 1: in your heart. Now I get to a place where
- 13:30Speaker 1: I remember when my dad taught me, even though he
- 13:32Speaker 1: passed on when I was only fifteen years old. He died,
- 13:35Speaker 1: and my mom's instructions she's still alive to this very
- 13:38Speaker 1: day at the time of this recording. Oh Glory to God,
- 13:40Speaker 1: Peace to my mother and her heart her mind. That
- 13:43Speaker 1: Lord God, that you would continue to guide her or
- 13:45Speaker 1: guard her and protect her in all her ways, and
- 13:47Speaker 1: show her your love, your grace and your mercy, and
- 13:49Speaker 1: she would come out of anything that is not of
- 13:51Speaker 1: you and stay in the light of Christ and never
- 13:54Speaker 1: return to darkness. In Jesus name, I believe those instructions
- 13:58Speaker 1: that she gave me are still in my heart. But
- 14:00Speaker 1: you know it's more powerful than that. And no disrespect
- 14:03Speaker 1: to parents out there, no respect to my own parents.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But you know it's more powerful is when you tie
- 14:10Speaker 1: those words and those instructions and those commands around your neck.
- 14:16Speaker 1: In other words, you have it always with you and
- 14:19Speaker 1: when you walk, you will hear their counsel and those
- 14:22Speaker 1: counseling from the Inspired Word through your parents, your dad
- 14:26Speaker 1: and your mom or a relative, or your Christian leaders,
- 14:29Speaker 1: or your pastor or your evangelists, or your apostle or
- 14:33Speaker 1: a teacher. Amen, of the Word, and that counsel will
- 14:36Speaker 1: lead you, and when you sleep, they will protect you.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I believe that's prayer that we protect our children through
- 14:42Speaker 1: prayer when I go to sleep. Before I go to sleep,
- 14:45Speaker 1: when I wake up, I'm praying for my children, Amen,
- 14:47Speaker 1: from my son down to my two daughters. Amen. I
- 14:51Speaker 1: pray for all my family every single day, and I
- 14:54Speaker 1: pray that those words and those prayers, Amen, will come
- 14:58Speaker 1: back and we'll keep people safe while they're sleeping, protecting
- 15:02Speaker 1: people when they wake up, when I wake up, when
- 15:05Speaker 1: you wake up, when we wake up, we will have
- 15:08Speaker 1: the advice from God and his commands. This is the
- 15:12Speaker 1: way I see the scripture. Amen. You might see it
- 15:14Speaker 1: a little differently, and that's okay, because I'm not the
- 15:18Speaker 1: go to person for all things. I don't know everything, Amen.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I even know people are out there saying that they
- 15:25Speaker 1: know all the Bible. They read the Bible from cover
- 15:27Speaker 1: to cover. You ever met a person that says I
- 15:29Speaker 1: don't really believe in Jesus like that, I don't believe
- 15:31Speaker 1: in your God. I read the Bible from cover to
- 15:33Speaker 1: cover and it's not real. You ever heard somebody say that.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I've heard people say that, and I'm like, Wow, you
- 15:38Speaker 1: read the Bible cover to cover, right, and you have
- 15:42Speaker 1: nothing to admit or to say about the scriptures. That's
- 15:47Speaker 1: very interesting. And you can't verify nothing. That's more interesting. Amen.
- 15:52Speaker 1: And you're saying that this is not real, that's even
- 15:54Speaker 1: more interesting. So people are people, and we have to
- 15:59Speaker 1: be mindful of where people are in my walk. Amen.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Some people might think, oh, you know, Sam, is this that?
- 16:05Speaker 1: And a third in the word, Amen, I do. I
- 16:08Speaker 1: must admit I'm branging on the Lord because of his grace. That. Yeah.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I am in the scriptures every day. I hear the
- 16:14Speaker 1: Word every day. I meditate on some scriptures every day.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I try to memorize some scriptures. I try to be
- 16:20Speaker 1: who God calls me to be every day because that's
- 16:22Speaker 1: all we have. Right. We have today. If tomorrow comes
- 16:26Speaker 1: is a blessing, yesterday's already gone. So whatever you did
- 16:28Speaker 1: yesterday that wasn't lined up according to the Word over
- 16:32Speaker 1: your life or pleasing to God. Amen. You made it
- 16:35Speaker 1: another day. You could stop doing what you did yesterday, Amen,
- 16:39Speaker 1: and plan on doing something greater for tomorrow. But right
- 16:42Speaker 1: now you could repent. You could turn from any wickedness
- 16:45Speaker 1: or anything like that. Follow the instructions of God that
- 16:48Speaker 1: he has inspired people to struct you in that inspire
- 16:51Speaker 1: people to counsel you in. It could be a pastor,
- 16:54Speaker 1: It could be, like I said, an apostle, an evangelist,
- 16:57Speaker 1: a teacher, Amen, a prophet. You could go to those
- 17:01Speaker 1: people if they're inspired by the God of Heaven and earth,
- 17:05Speaker 1: by the God of Man. Amen. The Man of God
- 17:09Speaker 1: is okay to go to. But the God of Man
- 17:12Speaker 1: is always amazingly accurate in your life and in my life.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Go to him asking for help, and he will help
- 17:19Speaker 1: you and connect you with the right people. I truly
- 17:22Speaker 1: believe if you're connected to a family who believes in Christ,
- 17:27Speaker 1: you'll be connected to a lifeline, a line that will
- 17:30Speaker 1: help you through any storms in your life, whether you're
- 17:34Speaker 1: grieving a lost loved one, whether you're financially strapped, when
- 17:37Speaker 1: you're going through relational issues where you're depressed, when you're
- 17:41Speaker 1: dealing with depression anxiety, if you're connected to the lifeline
- 17:45Speaker 1: of the people that God sends your way, and you
- 17:47Speaker 1: stay connected hand in hand, mano a mano, and you
- 17:51Speaker 1: keep on and you keep on, keep on, keeping on,
- 17:55Speaker 1: and you ask Jesus for help, You ask God for help,
- 17:58Speaker 1: you ask people for help, the right people. Please. I'm
- 18:01Speaker 1: emphasizing the right people because there's people out there that say, oh,
- 18:04Speaker 1: you need my help now, and there's somehow, some way
- 18:07Speaker 1: they use that for their advantage and they'll play it
- 18:11Speaker 1: off like they're really caring for you, but they're not
- 18:14Speaker 1: really caring for you. They're just waiting for you to fall.
- 18:17Speaker 1: People literally, I know for a fact, or wait for
- 18:20Speaker 1: me to fall. They hate this message, they hate this gospel.
- 18:23Speaker 1: They hate this ministry for whatever reason, Amen, And they
- 18:26Speaker 1: don't think I'm qualified to do this. And I know
- 18:30Speaker 1: I speak to those people and I show love to
- 18:33Speaker 1: those people because I know that for whatever reason, they
- 18:36Speaker 1: feel that way. But praise God. Amen. At least you
- 18:40Speaker 1: know they recognize that something's going on in this ministry
- 18:44Speaker 1: and there's something that they realize or might not realize.
- 18:47Speaker 1: What's going on in this ministry is the Word of
- 18:49Speaker 1: God is being read, preached taught, Amen, as being applied,
- 18:54Speaker 1: and so many people have been blessed by the word
- 18:56Speaker 1: of God. There's no secret. Amen. I ask God for
- 19:00Speaker 1: help daily. A man he helps me gets me up.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I do the morning devotion, amen. Or I do a
- 19:06Speaker 1: Bob study or radio show, whatever, whatever he wants me
- 19:09Speaker 1: to do, right, I do it. Help other people. Amen.
- 19:12Speaker 1: You don't have to know who I'm helping. You don't
- 19:13Speaker 1: have to know why I help this person, why I
- 19:15Speaker 1: help that person, why I speak to this person. Why.
- 19:18Speaker 1: You don't have to know none of that. I'm being
- 19:19Speaker 1: directed by Holy Spirit, God following the counsel of Him,
- 19:22Speaker 1: and I follow. I have spiritual parents. I have pastors. Amen.
- 19:26Speaker 1: If whoever one of them want to I have elders. Amen.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I follow the instruction of those people. Amen. If I
- 19:34Speaker 1: know that they're tuned in praying for me, and they
- 19:36Speaker 1: tuned into the word of God, amen, I will follow them.
- 19:38Speaker 1: I would trust them. Now, if you're not praying for me,
- 19:41Speaker 1: I could tell if you're not have my best and
- 19:44Speaker 1: the interests. I could tell. If you're trying to control, manipulate,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I can tell. So be mindful of that. I'm not
- 19:51Speaker 1: the only one that could tell whether someone is trying
- 19:53Speaker 1: to manipulate someone or trying to use someone. I'm not
- 19:55Speaker 1: throwing one with that discernment. Amen. There's others like me
- 20:00Speaker 1: that know that. But Amen, But what we do if
- 20:02Speaker 1: you have a person that is like me, Amen, I'll
- 20:05Speaker 1: love and keep it moving. I'll keep my distance because
- 20:07Speaker 1: I know, for whatever reason, something's not right. Amen. And
- 20:12Speaker 1: I'll approach you and ask you face to face, Hey,
- 20:14Speaker 1: are we good? Is everything okay? I've done it before,
- 20:17Speaker 1: I continue to do it. Amen. I'm a thinker, so
- 20:20Speaker 1: I can't think too much into things. I have to
- 20:23Speaker 1: stay balanced. But according to the scripture, Amen, God wants
- 20:27Speaker 1: us to go to him for this help, for this
- 20:29Speaker 1: kind of for this kind of direction, for this kind
- 20:32Speaker 1: of guidance, for this kind of counsel. Let's look at
- 20:35Speaker 1: it again. Keep your father's commands and do not forsake
- 20:38Speaker 1: your mother's teaching. Those are important according to the scriptures.
- 20:42Speaker 1: We just read it right. Bind them upon your heart forever,
- 20:47Speaker 1: Fasten them around your neck when you walk. They will
- 20:50Speaker 1: guide you. The words, the inspiration, the council, the wisdom,
- 20:54Speaker 1: those things will guide you. You. Notice that I've raised
- 21:00Speaker 1: some youth in the faith. Now they're in their thirties,
- 21:02Speaker 1: to have their own families, and they used to say,
- 21:04Speaker 1: I never want to become like this relative or that relative,
- 21:08Speaker 1: or my mom and my dad, because those years they
- 21:11Speaker 1: were not leading them right, and they will say they
- 21:13Speaker 1: don't want to become like that for whatever circumstance. Some
- 21:17Speaker 1: of those youth that are now grown adults have said that,
- 21:20Speaker 1: and unfortunately, I have become exactly like their mom and
- 21:25Speaker 1: dad because they were guided by the wrong people. You
- 21:28Speaker 1: see how important that's connected. When you're connecting to the
- 21:32Speaker 1: wrong family, or the wrong faith, or the wrong belief,
- 21:35Speaker 1: or the wrong system or the wrong people, you might
- 21:39Speaker 1: become the thing that God never wants you to become.
- 21:42Speaker 1: But when you connect to the right people, when you
- 21:44Speaker 1: walk you they will guide you. And when you sleep
- 21:48Speaker 1: they will watch over you. That's prayer I believe. And
- 21:50Speaker 1: when you awake they will speak to you, and it
- 21:53Speaker 1: will speak to your heart, your conscience, and you keep
- 21:55Speaker 1: seeing to move in the right direction. I hope you
- 21:57Speaker 1: get in what I'm saying. Proverbs chapter six. Read the
- 21:59Speaker 1: whole check for yourself. I'm out of time. I know
- 22:02Speaker 1: this was kind of short and rushed because I started late. Amen.
- 22:05Speaker 1: The computer is acting real slow, Amen, And funny, but
- 22:08Speaker 1: we made it past and we made it through, so
- 22:11Speaker 1: I'll bless you all in the name of Jesus. I
- 22:12Speaker 1: thank you so much for hanging out with me for
