Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Wanting family. Good morning, God, blessed you. Welcome back to
- 0:04Speaker 1: the morning Devo. I'm thank God. Welcome back to your brother.
- 0:10Speaker 1: DJ Sam Rock aka Sam Lopez. So one is with
- 0:15Speaker 1: a z do org live. That's soone is with a
- 0:17Speaker 1: z dot org and streaming on some social media platforms
- 0:20Speaker 1: that allow the stream to go through. It looks like
- 0:22Speaker 1: we're having some sec difficulties with the stream right now. Amen.
- 0:29Speaker 1: We would have worked through it as we always do.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It goes. It's here, but it's not on other places.
- 0:37Speaker 1: So we are here. Love that soone is with his
- 0:40Speaker 1: z dot org seems to be having an issue. Amen,
- 0:44Speaker 1: So my apologies if you're on there and the stream
- 0:47Speaker 1: is not streaming. Let's see if we could get that
- 0:50Speaker 1: worked out. So we're here, We're gonna talk about time
- 0:55Speaker 1: and place. There is a time and place for everything.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Have you ever heard that sing? Or? Amen? There should
- 1:00Speaker 1: be a time and place for our worship. There should
- 1:02Speaker 1: be a time and place for our prayer. There should
- 1:04Speaker 1: be a time and place that we allow God to
- 1:07Speaker 1: move in our lives and through our lives. There should
- 1:09Speaker 1: be a time and place. Choose a consistent time and
- 1:13Speaker 1: quiet space to meet with God. Deaii to meet with
- 1:17Speaker 1: God deadly. It sounds weird, right, I'm gonna meet with God. Well,
- 1:20Speaker 1: God is inside of you, working things out through you
- 1:24Speaker 1: if you're born again, but if you're not born again. Amen.
- 1:27Speaker 1: There should be an initial meeting with God, Amen, a
- 1:31Speaker 1: heart to heart. It should be a meeting and a
- 1:35Speaker 1: quiet time with the Lord. Amen, initially so that way
- 1:40Speaker 1: you could build discipline, you could build intimacy with your
- 1:45Speaker 1: relationship and with my relationship with the Lord. Right mark
- 1:48Speaker 1: chapter one, verse number thirty five. We're gonna be kept
- 1:50Speaker 1: down there today in the morning, Devo. I'm calling this
- 1:53Speaker 1: one time and space because we should always dedicate some
- 1:57Speaker 1: time to the Lord. We should always have a quiet
- 2:00Speaker 1: space that we could learn, that we could listen. Listening
- 2:03Speaker 1: is supernatural. Being still is supernatural in my humble opinion,
- 2:08Speaker 1: in this world full of so much going on, you know, chaos, rush,
- 2:13Speaker 1: hustle and bustle, all types of things getting thrown at
- 2:16Speaker 1: us daily, momentarily, weekly, monthly. Amen, we have so much
- 2:22Speaker 1: going on in life that when we have a quiet time,
- 2:25Speaker 1: I believe that's a supernatural time that we could really
- 2:28Speaker 1: invest and get into a space. But we could really
- 2:33Speaker 1: dedicate our lives and devote some time to the living, Holy, righteous,
- 2:37Speaker 1: loving God. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 2:41Speaker 1: or any prayer requests, please don't hesitate to leave it
- 2:43Speaker 1: on a live chat. That's what we're here for, amen,
- 2:45Speaker 1: And let me shut us out to the group because
- 2:47Speaker 1: the group doesn't know we're alive right now. And again,
- 2:51Speaker 1: my apologies for those who are over at live that
- 2:54Speaker 1: someone is with a zither orgy. If you don't see
- 2:57Speaker 1: the video, just go in a live chat. Let me
- 3:00Speaker 1: let me know. Amen. Maybe it's just my system here.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I'm acting a little wacky this morning. Maybe it's not
- 3:06Speaker 1: waking up like I'm hardly awake right now, but maybe
- 3:10Speaker 1: the system I know I need an update. But for
- 3:14Speaker 1: all those live streamers and podcasters, we know not to
- 3:17Speaker 1: update our system right before alive, right before we go alive.
- 3:21Speaker 1: That's going to be a nightmare, aymen. But it doesn't
- 3:24Speaker 1: need an update. So maybe that's what the problem is. Well,
- 3:27Speaker 1: but there's no time for update right now. We'll work
- 3:30Speaker 1: on that later on. So let's pray first. After we pray,
- 3:32Speaker 1: we'll share this out for like sixty seconds, and then
- 3:34Speaker 1: when we come back on the other side of the
- 3:36Speaker 1: sixty seconds. We'll get it right into today's scripture, which
- 3:39Speaker 1: is found in Mark chapter one, verse number thirty five. So, Father,
- 3:44Speaker 1: I thank you so much for right now, this moment,
- 3:46Speaker 1: this place and time, this space that we have, this
- 3:49Speaker 1: quiet time, this peaceful time that we have, Lord Jesus
- 3:54Speaker 1: with you, the time and space that you are going
- 3:57Speaker 1: to continuously create for us, and we seek after you
- 4:01Speaker 1: wholeheartedly and honestly with our hearts. I thank you, Love God,
- 4:05Speaker 1: for a new mind, a new heart, a new mindset.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Thank you, Love God, for the privilege of prayer. Thank you,
- 4:10Speaker 1: Lord Jesus for protecting us and guiding us and making
- 4:14Speaker 1: a way where this seems to be no way. I
- 4:16Speaker 1: pray I had your protection over myself, over my wife,
- 4:20Speaker 1: over our family, our children, our grandchildren, over my son,
- 4:24Speaker 1: over my daughters, over all that you have given us.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Lo God, I pray the same thing over every single
- 4:32Speaker 1: person that's listening and watching right now. I pray by
- 4:35Speaker 1: faith that Lord guide you a guide, guard and protect
- 4:37Speaker 1: them as well as we experience your Holy spirit moving,
- 4:40Speaker 1: as we experience your holy move of God, your holy teaching,
- 4:45Speaker 1: your holy inspiration, your holy guidance. Thank you, Lo God
- 4:49Speaker 1: for doing what you do consistently in our lives and protecting,
- 4:52Speaker 1: guiding us, and guarding us. I pray, Lord God, that
- 4:54Speaker 1: you will continue to show yourself low God, and continue
- 4:57Speaker 1: to reign and prove so this world is dying world,
- 5:02Speaker 1: that you are real that they are in need of you,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and that we can consistently trust and have our way
- 5:07Speaker 1: in being in you and through you. A praise by faith,
- 5:10Speaker 1: knowing that you are able to do exceedingly and abundantly
- 5:14Speaker 1: more than what we could have an axe or imagine.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord Jesus for the power of prayer. And
- 5:19Speaker 1: I thank you, Lord God for doing what you continuously
- 5:21Speaker 1: do in our hearts and our minds. Prayers by faith,
- 5:24Speaker 1: knowing that you hear these prayers and you answer them
- 5:26Speaker 1: according to your love, your grace, and your mercy, and
- 5:29Speaker 1: you answer according to your perfect will for all our
- 5:32Speaker 1: lives and the powerful name of Jesus. I praise by faith,
- 5:35Speaker 1: and those who agree, we say amen to the Amen.
- 5:38Speaker 1: How many share this our sixty seconds. When we come back,
- 5:40Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's scripture. I'll be right back. Amen,
- 7:12Speaker 1: We're back. We're back. So much going on today in
- 7:15Speaker 1: the studio, around the studio birds are chirping and footsteps
- 7:20Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. Amen. And also, sister Joyce,
- 7:23Speaker 1: I see you, good morning. Also, it seems like there's
- 7:25Speaker 1: a little glitching system, Amen, so trying to work through it. Amen.
- 7:29Speaker 1: So bear with me as I my eyes start roaming
- 7:32Speaker 1: to the other screen here. Amen, good morning to you,
- 7:35Speaker 1: my sister, my friends, Sister Joyce eating. Thank you so much.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Amen to your prayer. Thank you for we're agreeing with
- 7:41Speaker 1: the prayer. And we go to the Amen, which is
- 7:43Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our yes, and he's
- 7:46Speaker 1: our amen. Amen, Praise the Lord. So let me go
- 7:49Speaker 1: ahead and try to get this on the screen for
- 7:52Speaker 1: those who are watching, Amen. For those who are listening,
- 7:55Speaker 1: a sou win is with a zida rig no worries,
- 7:57Speaker 1: no problem, Amen. We're going to read this word for word,
- 8:00Speaker 1: so that way we could be all on the same
- 8:02Speaker 1: page literally, Amen, showing that God's word is true for
- 8:07Speaker 1: all of us daily. All we have to do basically
- 8:10Speaker 1: is apply what we learn out of His word from
- 8:13Speaker 1: his word, Amen, So that way we could successfully be
- 8:17Speaker 1: engaged in what God has for us, Amen, and what
- 8:20Speaker 1: he has shown us continuously in his word, he has
- 8:24Speaker 1: proven to be true time in and time out. He's
- 8:27Speaker 1: an amazing guy, a loving God, a righteous God, a
- 8:30Speaker 1: holy God. Amen. And we trust and obey him because
- 8:34Speaker 1: he is Lord, right Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
- 8:38Speaker 1: Time and Space. Let's get this on the screen. Amen.
- 8:42Speaker 1: For those who are watching Time and Space today in
- 8:45Speaker 1: the morning, DEVO really really excited to know that we
- 8:50Speaker 1: have a time and space and that we have today.
- 8:52Speaker 1: We have this moment, we have right now, we have
- 8:54Speaker 1: this scripture Mark, chapter one, verse thirty five. Bible says,
- 8:58Speaker 1: early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus
- 9:02Speaker 1: got up, left the house and went out to a
- 9:06Speaker 1: secluded place and was praying there. An example of what
- 9:11Speaker 1: the Lord has done should be our example of what
- 9:14Speaker 1: we can do early in the morning. Right. This is
- 9:18Speaker 1: supernatural for me, naturally, I'm a night owl. I'm not
- 9:22Speaker 1: an early bird. Amen. But I see in the Lord
- 9:26Speaker 1: Jesus life that he would get up early in the
- 9:28Speaker 1: morning while it was still dark. And it's still dark outside, Amen,
- 9:33Speaker 1: in some areas of the northeast and man, the sun
- 9:36Speaker 1: is just rising or or the darkness is leaving, but
- 9:40Speaker 1: it's still dark in some areas in the world right now,
- 9:44Speaker 1: and Jesus got up, left the house wherever he was
- 9:49Speaker 1: at and went out to a secluded place, a place
- 9:52Speaker 1: on his own, a place where it's less distraction. That's
- 9:55Speaker 1: why I like this website lied that someone is with
- 9:58Speaker 1: his orgy, because I believe that is a distraction free
- 10:02Speaker 1: website when it's operational, when it's working. Right now, I
- 10:06Speaker 1: can't get it. I can't get the preview on it,
- 10:09Speaker 1: but hopefully it's working on your end time and space.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Jesus prayed, and I know we get a lot of ridicule,
- 10:17Speaker 1: a lot of people saying, who is he praying to?
- 10:19Speaker 1: If he's God, is he praying to himself? Jesus was
- 10:21Speaker 1: showing us the perfect example of a god man, the
- 10:25Speaker 1: perfect god man on hundred percent God, one undred percent. Man.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Don't try to figure it out. You won't be able
- 10:31Speaker 1: to figure out because it's a God thing, men, Jesus,
- 10:36Speaker 1: through the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit three and one. Mathematically,
- 10:41Speaker 1: not in our calculus and a mindset, because it's a
- 10:44Speaker 1: God thing. It's not a man made idea. It's a
- 10:48Speaker 1: God thing. So obviously we won't be able to understand
- 10:53Speaker 1: everything that God has done, everything that God is doing.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Do you understand everything that God has done, and that
- 10:58Speaker 1: everything that God is doing. And when we serve a
- 11:01Speaker 1: God who is higher in the thought process, his ways
- 11:05Speaker 1: are not like always, his thoughts are not like our thoughts.
- 11:08Speaker 1: He's supreme other, he's the highest being. He's an eternal being.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So there should be some mystery about the Lord. Amen.
- 11:15Speaker 1: If we had them all figured out, then I don't
- 11:17Speaker 1: think that'll be God, Amen, That'll be someone or something
- 11:21Speaker 1: that's made up. Right. And this is not a made
- 11:25Speaker 1: up God. This is an amazing, holy, righteous, loving God
- 11:29Speaker 1: who loves us, who loves you, Amen, who has separated
- 11:32Speaker 1: us from our sin. As far as east is to west,
- 11:36Speaker 1: we have a loving, righteous, holy God. Amen. That we
- 11:39Speaker 1: could put our hope faith in trusting Amen. So we
- 11:43Speaker 1: are good on that end. If you put your heart,
- 11:45Speaker 1: if you put your life, you put your faith, you
- 11:47Speaker 1: put your trust. You put your hope in the one
- 11:50Speaker 1: who saved You put your hope in the one who
- 11:52Speaker 1: rescued you. You put your hope in the One that
- 11:55Speaker 1: we could go to daily and create times of meetings
- 11:58Speaker 1: and spaces in time our schedule, so we could build
- 12:01Speaker 1: up our discipline, so we could build up our intimacy
- 12:04Speaker 1: with the Lord. If you have a relationship with somebody
- 12:07Speaker 1: that you love, you set time apart. You remember when
- 12:11Speaker 1: you were dating in your first love and all that.
- 12:13Speaker 1: How you will pursue, how you will be available, how
- 12:16Speaker 1: you will make space, how you make time, Amen, should
- 12:19Speaker 1: be the same or even more a deeper level of
- 12:22Speaker 1: love with the Lord. Make time. Choose consistent times and
- 12:26Speaker 1: quiet spaces in your life to meet with God. Right,
- 12:30Speaker 1: and we could build this discipline by knowing how and
- 12:35Speaker 1: where to create this time and space. So that's why
- 12:38Speaker 1: I wanted to go through this a man. Being still
- 12:42Speaker 1: and listening, like I said earlier, is supernatural. Being still
- 12:45Speaker 1: and listening is supernatural. The Bible says in Psalms chapter
- 12:50Speaker 1: forty six and verse ten, be still and know that
- 12:53Speaker 1: I am God. So when you're still in the chaotic
- 12:56Speaker 1: life that we live, and you're dedicating your time to
- 13:00Speaker 1: the Lord, and you're believing in God for promises that
- 13:02Speaker 1: he has promised you, you're praying, you're fasting, you're obeying, Amen,
- 13:07Speaker 1: you're fighting the good fight of faith. You're fighting against
- 13:10Speaker 1: your lustful evil desires, and I'm fighting against my lustful
- 13:13Speaker 1: evil desires as well. We are creating a time where
- 13:17Speaker 1: we could be still and know. We know that God
- 13:20Speaker 1: is real, we know that we're born again, we know
- 13:23Speaker 1: where we're going after this earthly journey that we have, Amen,
- 13:27Speaker 1: because we're trusting and hoping and putting our faith in
- 13:30Speaker 1: the one who wrote the word, the one who is
- 13:33Speaker 1: the word, the Lord Jesus Christ. How about this one,
- 13:37Speaker 1: My sheep, listen to my voice. So if we listen
- 13:40Speaker 1: to the voice of the Lord, and he's the good Shepherd,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I know them and they follow me. The Bible says
- 13:45Speaker 1: in John chapter ten, verse number twenty seven, that's the
- 13:48Speaker 1: Lord Jesus speaking. Amen. That's a quote straight from the
- 13:51Speaker 1: mouth of the Living Holy Righteous Savior. Amen. So choose
- 13:56Speaker 1: a time, choose a space. Use this as a p
- 14:00Speaker 1: prayer routine. If you want to call it a routine,
- 14:02Speaker 1: a man, if you want to call it some kind
- 14:03Speaker 1: of prayer ritual, it's okay. Call it what you will will,
- 14:06Speaker 1: But I guarantee you it's going to cause discipline them
- 14:09Speaker 1: to be set up in your life. It's going to
- 14:11Speaker 1: cause intimacy to be built up. It's going to be
- 14:14Speaker 1: caused causing you to change your perception of your quiet time.
- 14:19Speaker 1: It's going to cause you to create a space, and
- 14:22Speaker 1: God will change the atmosphere whatever space that you meet
- 14:25Speaker 1: with God, a man in prayer, in your prayer closet,
- 14:29Speaker 1: be consistent and watch how God changes that atmosphere in
- 14:33Speaker 1: that room and that place in that space. It could
- 14:35Speaker 1: be outdoors, indoors. It could be while you're traveling. Amen.
- 14:41Speaker 1: It could be a mindful thing to close your eyes
- 14:44Speaker 1: and you listen to the voice of God. It could
- 14:46Speaker 1: be doing your meditation. It could be doing your morning devotion.
- 14:49Speaker 1: That you meet and have time and space with the
- 14:52Speaker 1: Lord right very early in the morning, God says Jesus Is.
- 14:58Speaker 1: His example was getting up very early in the mon morning.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Now you might scheduling might be a little different for you. You
- 15:04Speaker 1: might work overnight and early in the morning is still
- 15:07Speaker 1: at work. Well during your break time, Amen, during that
- 15:12Speaker 1: break you could really dedicate some time to the Lord
- 15:15Speaker 1: and listen. Maybe you could go somewhere alone. Maybe, even
- 15:19Speaker 1: if it's to do with the restroom, a man, find
- 15:22Speaker 1: a time and space to get alone and quiet down
- 15:25Speaker 1: those voices that are bombarding us every single day. You
- 15:29Speaker 1: hear the voices. I hear the voices a man. We're
- 15:32Speaker 1: living in a world full of voices. But the Word
- 15:36Speaker 1: of God says, according to what we quoted from the
- 15:39Speaker 1: Lord in John ten twenty seven, that we are the
- 15:42Speaker 1: sheep who hear the good shepherd's voice. We know the
- 15:46Speaker 1: voice of the Lord. That's why we follow that voice,
- 15:49Speaker 1: and a stranger's voice we won't follow, because now we'll
- 15:52Speaker 1: know the difference between the voice of the world and
- 15:54Speaker 1: the voice of the creative of the world. We'll know
- 15:57Speaker 1: the voice of Creation, and then we'll know the voice
- 16:00Speaker 1: of the Creator. We know the voice of the Kingdom
- 16:02Speaker 1: of God, the King of the Kingdom of God, and
- 16:05Speaker 1: then we know the other voices that come from the
- 16:07Speaker 1: Kingdom of this world. And those voices are not the same.
- 16:11Speaker 1: The ideas are not the same, the guidance is not
- 16:14Speaker 1: the same. Right, so our prayer lives should change and
- 16:17Speaker 1: evolve into more deeper levels when we create times and
- 16:21Speaker 1: spaces for the Lord to move in our lives, so
- 16:24Speaker 1: we could listen our pray a lot. Amen. My thing
- 16:28Speaker 1: is that I like to try to listen to the reply,
- 16:32Speaker 1: the response of God. Right, if you pray and you're
- 16:36Speaker 1: asking God for X y Z, there should be a
- 16:39Speaker 1: time and space where you could listen to God's voice
- 16:42Speaker 1: on the responding end right, he responds to the prayer
- 16:45Speaker 1: of his children. He responds to the prayer of his people.
- 16:49Speaker 1: The Bible says, the prayers of the righteous availeth much.
- 16:53Speaker 1: And then during that evaling time, during that time that
- 16:56Speaker 1: God is moving, Amen, we should be creating times and
- 17:00Speaker 1: spaces to listen, to be mindful of what God is
- 17:04Speaker 1: about to do. His promises are all good. Right. There's
- 17:08Speaker 1: not one promise in the scripture that has not been completed,
- 17:12Speaker 1: that has not come through for you and for me,
- 17:15Speaker 1: for the prophets of old, for the new generations that
- 17:19Speaker 1: are coming now, both in the Old Covenant and the
- 17:22Speaker 1: New Covenant. When God promises you something, Amen, those promises
- 17:26Speaker 1: are all yea and Amen. There's not a time where
- 17:29Speaker 1: God fails. There's not a time where God lies. There's
- 17:32Speaker 1: not a time where God's word is not powerful. Amen.
- 17:36Speaker 1: It's not a time where God is not present. God
- 17:39Speaker 1: is omnipresent, all powerful, all knowing, trustworthy God. Amen. And
- 17:44Speaker 1: He's righteous and holy and loving. What else do you want?
- 17:47Speaker 1: This life doesn't offer you anything even remotely close to
- 17:51Speaker 1: what the Lord offers you. Amen. Jesus offers us eternal life.
- 17:56Speaker 1: And when you create a time and space to meet
- 17:59Speaker 1: the eternal One. And Amen, he would change your life.
- 18:02Speaker 1: He would change your mind, he would change your attitude,
- 18:05Speaker 1: he would change the atmosphere. He would change your destiny
- 18:09Speaker 1: according to his word and purpose for your life and
- 18:11Speaker 1: for my life. I'm excited about time and space, Man's time.
- 18:15Speaker 1: If you're looking at the calendar, you're like, what just
- 18:18Speaker 1: happened this year? We're already over the midway point, we're
- 18:23Speaker 1: closing in to fall. The end of the year will
- 18:26Speaker 1: be soon here, and we're like, what just happened? Like
- 18:29Speaker 1: a blink of an eye. The years seems like weeks now,
- 18:34Speaker 1: the weeks seem like days. The days seemed like minutes. Amen,
- 18:40Speaker 1: this time is flying right by us. So if we're
- 18:42Speaker 1: not mindful, we'll be so busy doing everything else instead
- 18:46Speaker 1: of creating time and space to be with the Lord alone.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Seclude it outside of the matrix, outside of social media. Amen.
- 18:55Speaker 1: It's so important for you to create time and space
- 18:58Speaker 1: for me to create time and space. Amen. I'm known
- 19:01Speaker 1: to be a busy one, but business is no excuse
- 19:04Speaker 1: for me not to get alone with God. Business should
- 19:07Speaker 1: be no excuse for me not to get into the
- 19:09Speaker 1: world of God business should not be an excuse for
- 19:11Speaker 1: me not to have a prayer life, fulfilling prayer life,
- 19:15Speaker 1: A faith filled prayer life, Amen, a powerful prayer life,
- 19:19Speaker 1: an impactful prayer life. Time and space with the Lord.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Choose the time, be consistent, Be like, listen, at five thirty,
- 19:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna do X Y Z. At six o'clock, I'm
- 19:31Speaker 1: gonna do this with the Lord for the Lord. Amen.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Now this whole thing about spend at least an hour
- 19:37Speaker 1: with the Lord in prayer. It's scriptures that maybe you
- 19:42Speaker 1: could look at and fit that into your schedule to
- 19:47Speaker 1: make it seem like you have to have a certain
- 19:48Speaker 1: amount of time of prayer. I believe, just like exercise,
- 19:52Speaker 1: you could really impact parts of your body through movements
- 19:57Speaker 1: that are concentrated on form and concentrated on certain body muscles. Right.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I believe in a similar situation, you can make a
- 20:08Speaker 1: great impact and a short amount of time when you're
- 20:11Speaker 1: doing intentional prayer, when you're praying intentionally, when you're praying specifically,
- 20:16Speaker 1: when you're praying consistently, it doesn't have to be an hour,
- 20:19Speaker 1: two hours, three hours, Amen. It could be that time
- 20:23Speaker 1: and space that you set apart for the Lord in
- 20:25Speaker 1: that space right then and there, that you will be impacted, right,
- 20:30Speaker 1: that you will be changed. God does his word, doesn't change,
- 20:34Speaker 1: his word changes us. Good morning, sisters, Juanne, I see you.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning Devo,
- 20:39Speaker 1: my sister and my friend. So we see in Mark
- 20:42Speaker 1: one thirty five, we see that the Lord showed us
- 20:46Speaker 1: that he got up, that he did something. He prayed
- 20:49Speaker 1: to the Father. Amen. He picked a secluded place. Many
- 20:53Speaker 1: people were following him. I'm pretty sure many people were
- 20:56Speaker 1: watching his every move. Right. He was a miracle maker.
- 21:00Speaker 1: He was a savior who continued to forgive people's sins
- 21:06Speaker 1: and men. He was the one that was telling people
- 21:08Speaker 1: get up and walk. He was telling the blind, go
- 21:11Speaker 1: ahead and see. He was telling the death go ahead
- 21:14Speaker 1: and listen. He was telling the rulers or the religious
- 21:18Speaker 1: people of his time that the scriptures were about him.
- 21:21Speaker 1: He was prophesying. Amen, he was walking on water. He
- 21:25Speaker 1: was preaching the kingdom everywhere he went. So a lot
- 21:29Speaker 1: of people were watching him his heavy move So I'm
- 21:33Speaker 1: thinking that he had to get up early in the
- 21:36Speaker 1: morning before everybody else got up and started following again
- 21:40Speaker 1: and take some time and space alone with the Father,
- 21:43Speaker 1: you know, be somewhere else outside of the crowds. Amen.
- 21:48Speaker 1: And I think we should be doing the same thing.
- 21:50Speaker 1: If you're a social media influencer, if you're a pastor,
- 21:54Speaker 1: if you're an apostle, if you're a preacher, if you're
- 21:57Speaker 1: an evangelist, if you're a teacher, a man, whatever situation,
- 22:01Speaker 1: whatever you're called to, whoever God created you to be,
- 22:05Speaker 1: be that person a man, But make sure you set
- 22:07Speaker 1: time and space to be alone. Set Jesus apart in
- 22:12Speaker 1: your heart. The Scripture says, get into that relationship building,
- 22:17Speaker 1: Get into that consistency. Christianity is one discipline at a time. Amen.
- 22:25Speaker 1: When you're born again, you're being taught again, you're being
- 22:29Speaker 1: found again, you're being saved again. Daily. A man is
- 22:32Speaker 1: an increasing lifestyle, right, It's an evolving lifestyle. It's a
- 22:38Speaker 1: purposeful lifestyle. It's a prayer full lifestyle. Amen. We have
- 22:44Speaker 1: what we need and if we don't have something, it's
- 22:46Speaker 1: because we're not asking for something. Amen. The Bible is
- 22:50Speaker 1: clear we have not because we ask not. Consistency is
- 22:54Speaker 1: key a man. You want to be successful a man,
- 22:58Speaker 1: be consistent at the goal that you're trying to achieve.
- 23:02Speaker 1: We want personal relationship with the Lord. Be consistent with
- 23:05Speaker 1: time and space with him. Amen. You want to know
- 23:08Speaker 1: what the Word says, be consistent reading the scriptures. Just
- 23:13Speaker 1: like anything else you want to be good at. You
- 23:16Speaker 1: have to go forward. You have to trust the process.
- 23:19Speaker 1: You have to believe in who you're reading about. You
- 23:23Speaker 1: have to believe the word of God. Amen. And although
- 23:26Speaker 1: it's a choice that we make, whether to believe or not,
- 23:29Speaker 1: whether to follow or not, whether to be in the
- 23:33Speaker 1: light or in the dark, whether choosing life or death.
- 23:35Speaker 1: We're making decisions daily. But God has a perfect plan
- 23:40Speaker 1: for your life and a perfect plan for my life.
- 23:42Speaker 1: So when you're consistently seeking after that perfect plan, when
- 23:46Speaker 1: you consistently surround yourself with brothers and sisters who are
- 23:49Speaker 1: filled with Holy spirit God, the evidence of change will
- 23:53Speaker 1: show up and manifest in your life. One hundred percent guarantee.
- 23:58Speaker 1: No one has to force you to believe anything. No
- 24:01Speaker 1: one can or should be able to force you to
- 24:04Speaker 1: believe anything. We have choices to make, but we also
- 24:08Speaker 1: have a time and space to get alone with the Lord.
- 24:12Speaker 1: So choose to be consistent, choose a quiet space to
- 24:15Speaker 1: meet with God daily. Amen. If Jesus is your Lord
- 24:18Speaker 1: and Savior. We have Holy Spirit living inside of us. Amen.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Allow Holy Spirit to continue to speak to us, Allow
- 24:25Speaker 1: him to move through us. Amen. Allow him to guide
- 24:28Speaker 1: us and teach us daily. And you're going to have
- 24:30Speaker 1: an increasing faith and we're going to be growing in
- 24:33Speaker 1: the knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen consistently,
- 24:37Speaker 1: So I hope you get what I'm saying. We were
- 24:39Speaker 1: in Mark chapter one. Read the whole chapter for yourself.
- 24:42Speaker 1: We camp out of verse number thirty five. I'm out
- 24:44Speaker 1: of time. So God bless you all. Thank you so
- 24:47Speaker 1: much for listening and watching on the morning. Devo. God
- 24:50Speaker 1: bless you, God keep you, and remember always that God
- 24:54Speaker 1: is good. Pase As
