The Concept of Love [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

• 0:04
  Good morning, family, Good morning, welcome back to the Morning Devo.
• 0:06
  It's your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ Sam Rock, and we're here. I
• 0:11
  got some tech issues. So I was listening to the radio network and it
• 0:13
  was playing some kind of P Diddy and Apall song and I was like,
• 0:17
  hold on, time out, why is that playing on my network? I
• 0:21
  never heard the song before. It was cursing and I had all kinds of
• 0:23
  stuff on there, and I was like, I looked through my my panel.
• 0:28
  I was like, why is that song playing. It's not even on
• 0:32
  my song list or anything. I was a little glitch on their end.
• 0:38
  So I hope that never happens again. The song was mad Foul and viole
• 0:43
  and it has nothing to do with my network, so but it was playing
• 0:47
  full blast. So I was like, m interesting, interesting stuff, man,
• 0:53
  when you go live. But listen, good morning, God bless you.
• 0:56
  We're here. So listen, good morning, a new day, and
• 1:00
  we're going to be telling about the concept of love. The concept of love,
• 1:07
  amen, because I think what's happening, especially with the young adults and
• 1:11
  the younger kids and are the generation right before me. The definition of love
• 1:19
  is being changed by society, not by God, because God's word never changes.
• 1:26
  As a matter of fact, God is love, So therefore he's not
• 1:29
  going to change his view on love because his love, he is. The
• 1:36
  best definition of love is God. Amen is God. So when you get
• 1:42
  into that reality and that realization the concept of love for your life, Amen,
• 1:49
  it should change radically, and it should give you a better concept and
• 1:53
  a better grasp on the idea of love. Amen, because He is Love.
• 1:57
  So let me just get to my no here real quick. How does
• 2:01
  the world's idea of love differ because it's different from the love of God?
• 2:09
  Read that again, How does the world's idea of love differ from the love
• 2:15
  of God. We're going to be of all books, We're going to be
• 2:20
  an Exodus. Exodus, chapter number thirty four, verse number six. A
• 2:27
  lot of people say, listen, the Old Covenant, Bible, the Old
• 2:30
  Covenant, the Old Testament. God wasn't sure love. He was he was
• 2:39
  rude, angry, he was mad, he was sure grace It was so
• 2:45
  mercy really, Exodus, chapter thirty four, verse six. We got to
• 2:49
  see something there really fast. Because of course people will say that because they're
• 2:53
  just following people's opinions on God and on the Bible, but when you read
• 2:59
  it for yourself, you start realizing, wait, that's not true. God
• 3:01
  to show all kind of mercy, love, grace since the very beginning,
• 3:06
  since Genesis chapter three, where men disobeyed God, God was showing mercy already
• 3:13
  at that point. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome to the
• 3:15
  morning Devot on Facebook over there, sister Juanne. Good morning God bless you
• 3:20
  as well. Welcome to the morning Devo. It's good to see my system,
• 3:23
  my friend. So that's what we're gonna be camping out. Exodus,
• 3:28
  chapter number thirty four, Verse six. I want to show you something.
• 3:30
  The concept of love very important of how you define love. Amen. And
• 3:36
  if you have God in your life, that means you have love in your
• 3:38
  life. If you have love in your life, that means you have God.
• 3:40
  You can't take my part. Anything that's good is from God, point
• 3:46
  blank period. You might be thinking, no, I'm just a good person,
• 3:49
  laid back or whatever that's good. But God is good. We're not
• 3:53
  good. He's good. And when he's dwelling in us, right, when
• 3:59
  he's living abiding in us, then we could do good things because he's doing
• 4:02
  it through us. Amen. The concept of love what does love mean according
• 4:09
  to the world and what's the love of God. It's a difference, Amen,
• 4:14
  And I think you know that already. I think you know that already.
• 4:16
  The love of this world is it's weird and it's off a member.
• 4:23
  The love of God is always on point, always available, and always and
• 4:28
  always relevant to what to what's going on in our lives today. Amen.
• 4:31
  So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, any prayer requests,
• 4:34
  don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're here for.
• 4:38
  Amen. And also, if you're listening from Soul Winners with a z
• 4:41
  dot Org, thank you so much for your patience and thank you for listening.
• 4:45
  And that the podcast after this is setting, that this will turn into
• 4:47
  a podcast and you could share any comments there from your favorite platform, your
• 4:53
  podcast platform that you used to go into, whether it's Apple, Google,
• 4:56
  or whatever the case may be. I think Google is going to shut down
• 5:00
  soon. The niggas concentrate on the podcast on YouTube. I believe I read
• 5:04
  that right, Amen, So either way there's still gonna be around. They're
• 5:09
  just gonna put all the concentration on YouTube. I believe it was on their
• 5:14
  platform and all the others like Spotify and everything. I'm on all those platforms
• 5:19
  as I'm trying to reach the most amount of people that i can before my
• 5:25
  time's up here on this earth. Amen. So it's like a personal thing,
• 5:29
  but it's a public thing at the same time. But I do it
• 5:31
  because I love people. I love God, I love people. Right,
• 5:35
  So the concept of love today in the morning, DEVO, let's pray first.
• 5:40
  After we pray, we shut us ouf for like sixty seconds. Then
• 5:42
  when we come back, we'll get right into Exodus, chapter number thirty four,
• 5:46
  Verse number six. Father God, thank you so much. You're an
• 5:49
  amazing, loving, holy, righteous God. Father God, thank you for
• 5:54
  revealing yourself through the person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Thank you for showing
• 5:59
  and feeling and demonstrating your own love. That while we were far away from
• 6:03
  you, Lor God, you still died for us, And that while we
• 6:08
  were in the darkness, you reached out and took us into your marvelous light.
• 6:12
  That while we were losing our minds, Low God, that you gave
• 6:15
  us a whisper and opportunity to hear your voice and to be drawn to you
• 6:19
  for good. I asked the Lord God that you would continue to guide,
• 6:23
  guard and protect me, guide guard and protect every single person that's listening and
• 6:27
  watching. I thank you, Lord God for their families, for their lives
• 6:30
  as well. I pray health, strength and protection to myself, my family,
• 6:33
  my marriage, our children, everything that we engage in. Lord God,
• 6:38
  let it be glorifying to you. I pray that over every single person
• 6:41
  as well that's listening and watching for them, their families. I pray a
• 6:45
  financial breakthrough over their lives. I pray forth arking angels, ministering angels,
• 6:48
  warring angels, to annihilate the tactics of the enemies. Give us a new
• 6:54
  mind, give us a new heart, Low God consistently so that way we
• 6:57
  can know what the love is comes from you, because you are God.
• 7:00
  And the concept of love that this world offers that we would know that's to
• 7:04
  counterfeit love, but we would know that's not the real love that you designed
• 7:09
  and that you defined, and that who you are is love. So therefore
• 7:12
  we should be trusting and the concept of love based on your word. Thank
• 7:16
  you, Lo God for your word, Thank you Holy Spirit for guiding and
• 7:19
  teaching us. And I pray to look God that every single person will get
• 7:23
  the concept of love correct and their heart in their mind, and we will
• 7:26
  walk in victory knowing that we could love because we will love first. We
• 7:30
  could forgive because we were forgiven first. We could show mercy because mercy was
• 7:32
  given on to us first. We could show grace because grace was given to
• 7:36
  us first through God and Jesus name. I pray it is by faith,
• 7:41
  Amen, and everybody who agreed that, Amen, and amen. So let's
• 7:44
  go for it. Let's share this out for like a minute on the other
• 7:46
  side of the sixty seconds, we'll get right into Exodus, chapter number thirty
• 7:49
  four, verse number six. You ready, I'm ready. Let's go,
• 9:26
  man. Amen. My system is a little glitchy this morning. That's probably
• 9:30
  I probably need an update for my system because everything is going real slow.
• 9:33
  But hopefully everything's good on your end. Hopefully you can hear me and see
• 9:37
  me well. Amen, Oh glory God. Right, So listen, let's
• 9:41
  get into it. The concept of love according to right in our minds,
• 9:46
  and we realize how love is and who love is. Amen. I believe
• 9:50
  that can transform every relationship that we have. It can transform our lives personally
• 9:56
  and publicly. Lord and the Lord could do great thing in this concept of
• 10:03
  love. The world is doing a good job. I was gonna say the
• 10:07
  best job, and it's not the best job, a good job at trying
• 10:09
  to show us a different sort of love, a love that doesn't really fulfill,
• 10:13
  dousn't satisfy. But it's a love that gratifies the flesh for sure,
• 10:18
  but it doesn't satisfy the soul. That's the way it is, right,
• 10:22
  So that's why we could be mindful and careful of this whole thing that the
• 10:26
  world's calling love, which is really not love, it's lust. Right,
• 10:31
  the concept of love over here on the morning Devo the Book of Exodus,
• 10:37
  chapter number thirty four, Verse six says, and he passed in front of
• 10:41
  Moses, proclaiming the Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God,
• 10:50
  slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands,
• 10:58
  and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. The same God of the Old
• 11:03
  Covenant is the same God of the New Covenant. Ladies and gentlemen. He's
• 11:07
  a god of mercy, he's a god of compassion, of grace. He's
• 11:13
  slow to anger, he bounds in love and faithfulness. So many people know
• 11:18
  that God is faithful even when we when we don't see God moving, He's
• 11:24
  working on our behalf. He's still working, even when we don't see it,
• 11:28
  we don't recognize it. He's still working. God never fails. He
• 11:33
  never leaves us, he never abandons us, He never puts us to shame
• 11:37
  and man. He took the punishment on the whole of the whole world on
• 11:41
  himself. I know a lot of people think that God is punishing them for
• 11:46
  doing whatever they say God is punishing them for. But in actuality, God
• 11:50
  is not punishing anyone. Right. He took the punishment of the whole entire
• 11:56
  world, once for all, for all generations, the past, for the
• 12:00
  future, for the present. Pass in front of Moses, proclaiming the Lord,
• 12:05
  the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding
• 12:11
  in love and faithfulness, maintaining love. Who maintains the love he does God
• 12:16
  does to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. A lot
• 12:20
  of people don't like the fact that God forgives wickedness, rebellion, and sin,
• 12:26
  because that grace right there is uncommon right, it's unmerited favor with God.
• 12:33
  There's nothing I could do nothing you could do to gain access to God's
• 12:37
  grace and mercy. Amen. This is not about works, about what I
• 12:41
  have to do, what you have to do. Religion says you have to
• 12:43
  do things. The Gospel of Jesus says it's done. Right to tell us
• 12:48
  did it is finished? God has provided a way for us to go in
• 12:54
  to the throne room of grace. Right, beil has been torn. We
• 13:01
  have access right. And if you're trying to live by the commandments, trial
• 13:07
  you want, But the commandments are impossible to live by unless you are living
• 13:13
  through the Holy Spirit. With the Holy Spirit never broke any commandments. But
• 13:18
  the commandments were there to show us our sin right. When Jesus came,
• 13:22
  he said, I give you a new commandment, love based on love.
• 13:26
  We're basing it on love. Now, God is love. If you love
• 13:31
  God and you love people. Amen, you are showing and demonstrating to this
• 13:33
  world, to your family, to your friends that you belong to a holy,
• 13:37
  living, righteous God. Amen. Well, we would get it right
• 13:41
  all the time, of course, not who said, Not even God said
• 13:46
  we were going to get it right all the time. But he knows that
• 13:48
  he gets things right all the time. And he doesn't even boast about that.
• 13:52
  He's perfect in all his ways. Amen, He's perfect in all his
• 13:56
  ways, and we are just so. I'm so amazing, thrown back by
• 14:03
  God's mercy, grace and love over my life and over your life. Right,
• 14:07
  we could testify. Good morning, brother, Rolbert Diaz. God bless
• 14:13
  you, brother. It's good to see you in the morning. Devo blown
• 14:16
  away by concept of love. According to God's word, Let me give you
• 14:22
  a little a little more. Some people are in love with the concept of
• 14:28
  love. You think about it, right, there's communities out there. It's
• 14:33
  love. So they've been really infatuated or they're really yeah, in love with
• 14:41
  the concept of love. Back in the days, well until this very day.
• 14:48
  I call them girl girl movies. You see these girl movies on Lifetime
• 14:54
  and all these other networks, and they're so romantic. Right, Valentine's Day
• 15:03
  a romance story. Right, Boy meets girl, they fall passionately in love,
• 15:09
  they get married and live happily ever after. And you look at that,
• 15:13
  you be black man. Excuse me. I wish it was that easy.
• 15:18
  I wish you could just find someone, fall in love, get married,
• 15:24
  and then live happily ever after. The concept of love according to how
• 15:28
  Hollywood shows it. It's based on a lot of emotion, a lot of
• 15:33
  fantasy. Romance is good right between a man and a woman who are planning
• 15:39
  on getting married, because romance other than that turns into lustful action, and
• 15:45
  then lustful action turns into sin and sin birth's death. But of course people
• 15:50
  are romantic, right. I'm not a romantic per se. I try,
• 15:56
  you know, I've been married twenty five years, so I try to be
• 15:58
  romantic. But I'm like more like a person who loves right. But you
• 16:06
  know, I don't I black out when it comes to like being romantic.
• 16:11
  I guess I can, but I overthink it. I guess. On TV,
• 16:15
  you see it all like picture perfect, and then people start looking at
• 16:18
  that and say, why isn't my partner or my spouse or my boyfriend or
• 16:22
  my girlfriend or my fiance and my wife like that person on TV? Because
• 16:26
  it's not real. It's a concept of love that Hollywood gives us, right,
• 16:32
  and they try to convince us that that's the way love should be.
• 16:36
  You get older, gain more life experience, you start realizing that those TV
• 16:41
  shows and those movies, they're not all true as they perceive what happens once
• 16:48
  real love kicks in, because you know, you see the romance, you
• 16:53
  see the passionate passion and all that. But what about when we real love
• 16:56
  kicks in, life hits You think it's gonna be still happily ever after,
• 17:03
  right, even when the kids are fighting, making noise, throwing toys all
• 17:07
  over the house and all that, The baby diapers need to be changed and
• 17:11
  all that. Now you're getting into the nitty gritty and now you're starting to
• 17:15
  think about weight on that TV show or that movie. They didn't show this
• 17:19
  part, right, But you love anyway, and you might have the passion,
• 17:23
  you might still have romance. But what happens in real time when it
• 17:27
  comes to the concept of love? Good morning, Alicia, God bless you,
• 17:30
  good morning. It's good to see you in the morning. Devo.
• 17:37
  About when you come home from work or from business and the house is a
• 17:44
  mess, everything's thrown all over, you have no energy, get older,
• 17:51
  start gaining some weight and things like that. Is the romance still gonna be
• 17:56
  there? What do you think does the love remain even then? Because the
• 18:03
  love, the concept of love that the world is trying to offer us,
• 18:07
  is really based on situations, circumstantial love, like based on the circumstances,
• 18:15
  if everything's all good when you get home from work, if your wife or
• 18:18
  your husband is just like ready to listen to your day, and you know
• 18:23
  they have slippers ready for you, the kids are already in bed, the
• 18:29
  house is clean, or if you live in that kind of perfect situation,
• 18:33
  then yeah, you're gonna have a hard time thinking any type of concept of
• 18:38
  love other than that it's true because God's love. People have a hard time
• 18:42
  believing that because they live in these imaginary situations, or they may have a
• 18:48
  setup that's like that or similar to what the TV is doing. That takes
• 18:52
  I think that takes more work to do what the TV is doing in real
• 18:55
  time than it is to believe in a loving, holy, righteous God.
• 18:59
  Man. Remember the dues of religion, like I have to do this,
• 19:03
  that and the third to gain access or to gain the love of God.
• 19:07
  That's religion. The gospel message of when Moses had had to encounter with God,
• 19:14
  what did God do? God showed up. God was passing through.
• 19:17
  God was showing his love. God was showing mercy. God was the one
• 19:19
  who was compassionate. God was the one who's forgiving wickedness and on righteousness.
• 19:25
  God was doing that. So what the Moses have to do receive? The
• 19:30
  religion tells you you have to do this that, and the third the TV's
• 19:33
  telling you this is what love looks like. This is romance, this is
• 19:34
  this, that and the third. It's a lot of work, right,
• 19:38
  it's very religious, it's very like robotic. No one really lives like that.
• 19:44
  I hope you know that the reality hits in kids, messy home.
• 19:48
  You know that's too good when you get home, or the conversations are not
• 19:53
  there as they used to be. The romance is like not really increasing.
• 19:59
  What happened is that amazingly and Sally right, A lot of times love and
• 20:07
  a lot of marriages start to fail and fall fade away. What we're wrong.
• 20:15
  I think what happens is we fall in love with love, not fall
• 20:18
  in love with God. We fall in love with the concept of love,
• 20:22
  and we forget that God is love, or we don't know that God's love.
• 20:26
  It's a lot of people who are in these relations for a long time
• 20:30
  in the beginning, and especially on social media. I see it all the
• 20:34
  time. They show the clips of this is how it is when you first
• 20:38
  get married. You know, the man walks into the room, looks as
• 20:41
  his wife and taps her from behind and then boom, you know, you
• 20:48
  know, caresses lf from behind and them boom, she's ready to go.
• 20:51
  It's over romantic again and the passion is there. Then it says after three
• 20:55
  years it's still okay. But then after five ten years they show the wife
• 20:59
  is like, stop touching me, go do the dishes that you know,
• 21:03
  it has it's funny, but it has some point there, man, Because
• 21:07
  if we're not willing to grow in our love for God and love for one
• 21:11
  another, then nothing's gonna change, and things are gonna start fading instead of
• 21:15
  increasing. Things are gonna start decreasing instead of increasing. When it comes to
• 21:19
  the concept of love. So the TV, social media and all those things,
• 21:23
  romantic romance books of course, you know, X rated movies and all
• 21:29
  that stuff, they give you us a false concept. They're give them our
• 21:33
  next generation a false concept of love. That's not true love. That's love
• 21:37
  and fantasy. That's love and love that's love that doesn't satisfy the soul and
• 21:42
  doesn't really do much to anything. It just gives you like a quick fix
• 21:49
  and an idea and a concept. So when you look at the Bible,
• 21:53
  you find out what love is according to God. When you look at the
• 21:56
  scriptures, you start seeing what love is according to God. God, and
• 22:00
  anyone who tells you that the God of the Old Covenant of the Old Testament
• 22:03
  is different from the God of the New Testament, you could show them the
• 22:06
  scripture that we have today. Amen. He said, Oh wow, you
• 22:08
  think that God is not a passionate God, or a loving God, or
• 22:12
  a gracious God and an old Covenant Exodus chapter thirty four, verse six.
• 22:15
  Check this out. He's a forgiving God, a loving God, a graceful
• 22:19
  God. He's all of that. Amen, Brother larr or angelot, God,
• 22:23
  bless you. Man falling love with God, place him first, and
• 22:26
  you know how to probably love your spouse or anyone for that matter. God
• 22:32
  is the blueprint. Amen. Great word, thank you. Yeah he is.
• 22:37
  Once you get that model down, the concept of love will change in
• 22:41
  your attitude, your mind, your relationships right, and you'll move forward in
• 22:45
  the real concept of love, which is God. He can't beat around the
• 22:48
  bush. We know that we're getting thrown all kinds of things and ideas that
• 22:53
  the world is doing and they're doing a good job at it. Unfortunately a
• 22:56
  lot of people are buying into this love is love thing. But it's not
• 23:02
  so. God always gets love right, we don't. But if we follow
• 23:07
  God, we'll start realizing that, Oh, okay, I need to tweak
• 23:11
  this area of my life so that way I could get this love situation down.
• 23:15
  A man the concept of love so real quick. I discovered that there's
• 23:21
  a Hebrew word called hesse that is often used to describe God's love in the
• 23:26
  Old Testament, and this word is used in today's verse. Is often translated
• 23:32
  as stepfast love, or love and faithfulness or even unfailing love. So we
• 23:37
  see very early in the scriptures many God, bless you. Welcome to the
• 23:45
  morning Devo. I think you were up here and made a comment before.

  I think I didn't see it. Thank you for coming to the morning Devo.
• 23:52
  Hopefully I'm calling you mini because I always mess up your names since the
• 23:56
  Miro God blessing. He is the lover of my soul. I am so
• 24:00
  thankful for his love. Yes, God's love, amazing love, a god
• 24:04
  bad love, right, powerful love. Right, He's passionate. God does
• 24:08
  romance us amen in his holy way and then his love never fails. He's
• 24:15
  a God who has the unfailing love, a God of love and faithfulness.
• 24:18
  So I get what I hope you get what I'm trying to say. The
• 24:22
  concept of love that this world's offering us and our children and the younger generation,
• 24:26
  our generation, and it's going to offer the next generation is a false
• 24:30
  concept of love. Amen. So go to the Word for yourself. Check
• 24:34
  out God's love in Genesis. Excuse me, Exodus chapter thirty four, verse
• 24:38
  number six. That's where we were. Read Exodus chapter thirty four, the
• 24:42
  whole chapter for yourself, and you make a decision and you start understanding the
• 24:47
  real concept of love according to the Word of God, because God is love
• 24:51
  right. So thank you for hanging out with me for this morning. Devo.
• 24:52
  God bless you all. Got to keep you all and remember always that
• 24:57
  God is good. Peace. Wait one more from Sister Joe. I was
• 25:02
  not going to ask you to pray for me this morning. My anxiety it's
• 25:07
  really bad. It's been like this for five days or more. I don't
• 25:11
  like it. Father, than the name of Jesus. Before we leave this
• 25:14
  place, before we leave this time, I pray against any anxiety over my
• 25:18
  sister Joanne. I pray peace right now to her body, physically, emotionally
• 25:22
  and spiritually, Peace to her mind. Anxiety have to go in the powerful
• 25:26
  name of Jesus. You don't belong, you can't stay. The love of
• 25:30
  God is on her life and in her life and working through her life.
• 25:33
  So anxiety we replace that with peace, the peace of God which transcends all
• 25:37
  understanding. I pray this by faith, knowing that God, you are able
• 25:41
  to help my sister were than it comes to anxiety. In Jesus name.
• 25:45
  Amen and Amen. God bless you as well. Sister Alicia. I'm out
• 25:51
