  Speaker 1: lived on this planet, the Lord himself, Jesus, the Christ
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of Nazareth. Amen, and today, we're going to talk about
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the present tense. We're going to speak in the present tense.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: No longer, we're going to speak in the past tense. Right,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the word of God into
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: his message. The now word of God is a word,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is a today word, right, is a forever word. We
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: saw that the other time we were together. But we
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: want to talk in a present tense. We want to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: be men and women of God who speak the Word
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as if it's happening right now, in the present tense.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So what does that mean, Well, we're going to speak
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the word in the present sense. The enemy works in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: doubt and delay. I'm going to say that again. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: should have put the devil works in doubts and delay.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: God's word works now. So when you're doubting and when
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you're waiting and you're saying, man, this is never going
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to come to pass, you're speaking past tense. We want
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to speak present sense that God's work is working now,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that God's word is a now word, that God's word
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is working right now in our present time, because guess
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: what it is. And that's what we're gonna be doing today.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be in Romans chapter eight, verse number
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: thirty seven of very encouraging scripture that the Apostle Paul
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: gave to the church. Amen, and I think we need that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I think we need the encouragement of God's word to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be spoken in our lives, through our lives, for our
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: lives and for others in the present sense. So thank
• 2:52

• 3:26
  Speaker 1: powerful name above every name, the name of the Lord Jesus.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I pray, look God, that you would help us speak

  Speaker 1: in our hearts, in our minds. We thank you, Lord God.

• 3:58
  Speaker 1: living word of God from our mouths and watch the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: application of your word developed right in front of our
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: eyes in this present time. I pray, Love God, for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: every single person that's listening and watching. I pray a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: hedge of protection that the arq Ween Angels, the citizens
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of Heaven, will be recognized in our lives, surrounding us
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: as a weapon of love, surrounding us with protection, guiding us,

  Speaker 1: guarding us. For every single person in my life, my wife,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: our family, myself, our children, our grandchildren, our family members
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: from the very youngest to the very oldest, and every
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: single person in between. Our hedge of protection. The peace
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of God over all of us and those who are
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: watching and listening, the peace of God over you as well,

  Speaker 1: We pray this by faith, and those who agree with
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the prayer we say Amen to the Amen, Amen, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the ray man. God bless you, my brother, good morning,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Good to see you in the morning, Devo, my brother,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and my friend Robbie Diaz, Robert Diaz, Robbie Newmon and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: good morning, God bless you, and thank you so much
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for coming through my brother, my friend. So let's go
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for it. Help me share this sole sixty seconds. When
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today's morning deal.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back ride. I got some emails here
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: from Robert Newton Diaz and also from Sister John and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Sister Joanne. I see you, good morning, God bless you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning with my sister, my friend.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's get into this word that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I have a lot to speak on this. I have
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: some notes here because I believe this is the time
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of encouragement. Every time we feel like we're doubting and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: there's a delay in the divinity of the promises of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: God and delays that the enemy. We try to use
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to cause doubt in our hearts and minds. I believe
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that's when we step up our word game the word
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of God in our lives, and we use the word
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as encouragement, because that's what the word does. The word
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: encourages us, the word inspires us, the word lifts us up,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the word pushes us forward. And the word is true
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: all the time. And it's a present sense a man,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try to improve that through the scripture.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You can shut this out at anytime if you have any questions, comments, concerns.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It's all through, even if I'm not live a man.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You can put it on a live chat. If you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: listening from soul Wins with a Zea Org, the celebrated network,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: there should be a space and a place that you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: could contact me as well, maybe from the contact page
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: or anything along those lines. Amen, let's go for let
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: me get this up on a screen for those who
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: are just listening and you already know the drill. I'm
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: going to read this word for words so that way
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you don't miss a beat of what we're seeing on
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the screen. Present sense, Let's speak it. Romans eight thirty seven,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, Yet in all these things we are
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through him
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: who loved us so much that he died for us.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And who is that person that the apostle Paul is referencing,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the one that loved us, the one that died for us,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: none other than the Lord, the King of Kings, the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Lord of lords, the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, our redeemer,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: our restorer, our renewer. Amen. He's the one who loved
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: us so much that he died for us. Right John
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: three sixteen. The Father sent has only begotten son, that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: whoever believes in him Jesus, shall not die, should not perish,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but have everlasting life. So that shows me that the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Father loves, the Son saves, and the Holy Spirit inspires
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and leads. Because in all these things that we're facing
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in this world, all those things that you're facing in
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: your life, and all the things I'm facing in my life,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it might sometimes seem overwhelming. But in all these things
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we are more than conquerors. All the way through it,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: we are more than conquerors. Say that now over your situation,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Say that now over your life. Use the present tense.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: We are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: not just scratching by again, believer, but we're not just
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: making it. We are overwhelmingly making We are overwhelmingly victorious
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: through the Lord Jesus who loved us so much that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: he stretched his arms out on the cross and died
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: for me. And you you get that. That's amazing. That's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: an amazing word to speak over your life right now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: In real time. I hear people say, you know the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Word of God says this, But in real life, the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Word of God is real life. God is real, and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: he is present. He's the omnipresent God, right, He's everywhere here.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He is the Great. I am the God who always
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: has been, the God who is in any type of history,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: any kind of history. He was always present. He is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a now God. Amen. We have a now word. We
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: have a living, breathing holy spirit that reminds us of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: this present sense that we could be speaking in our words.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: That we speak is important too. We need to be
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: speaking the Word over all our situations. Amen. Wanted sister
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Joy and I see you, good morning, God bless you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: so listen. We are in this together. There's not us
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in them, right, we are in this together. We know
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: we have a common enemy, common folk, amen, And and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that common foe tries his best to move us out
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of the way, tries his best to cause doubt in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: our hearts and minds, tries his best to declare things
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: over our lives that the Lord didn't declare over our lives.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He tries his best to make us say things that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: are opposite of what the word says. Right, So we're
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: gonna do this real quick. It's quick exercise. If I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: could get to the note here, Ay man, where is it?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: The enemy works in doubt and delay. God's word works now.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So don't say let's practice. Don't say someday maybe God
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: will give me peace. Won't say that you know, a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: piece of God one day, maybe next week, maybe next
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: year is gonna come upon me. Don't say that that's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you're speaking in a doubtful way. Yesterday, I have my
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: excuse me, my godson. One of my godson's come fu class,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and the master had asked them, how do you think
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you just did right now in that move in that form.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: He says, I think I did. Okay, he said, And
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he asked the other student, what do you think? And
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the guy was like, I think I did Okay, he said,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: don't think. Be confident in what you're saying. Say you
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: did well, Say you did great, because as soon as
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you say that, then your mind and your body will
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: follow suit. Now I'll be saying, you know, I think
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I could do that. Maybe next time. No, it's now
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the present sense. This power speaking in the present sense.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Brother Louis got blessed. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to the morning, Devo, my brow and my friend. Yet,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: so don't say someday God will give me peace. Why
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: don't you do this, declare I have peace now? Because
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it is written, piece of God is in us. The
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: piece of God is now in us. Because when you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: have peace with Jesus, when you have peace with the Son,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you'll have peace, the peace of God in you. So
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you have peace with God and the peace of God.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That's our word. That's a our word. So when we're
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: speaking in present sense, you're going to realize that that
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: word is going before you, right, not after you. The
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: word is going before us. Jesus knows what's gonna happen
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a million years from today, right, because he's present, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus knew what happened to us a million years before.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: We haven't been here that long. But you don't understand
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Before the foundations of the world, God
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: knew me and you purposed and planned right. We were
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: predestined to become like the Lord Jesus Christ. Can't get
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: too much into the predestination because that'll take a whole week,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a whole month, whole year, could take a whole life
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: time to try to grasp that idea that God put
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: out there. But we are his and in the present sense,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: we don't have to say, man, I hope I'm saved. No,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you know you're saved. There's religions out there that they
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: have a scale system. You know, if I do enough good,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: then I'll have favor with God. But you know, as
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: soon as I do bad, then I got to try
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: harder to get the scales tipped again into the good part.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And they're living that way. So they're not sure whether
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: or not negat to be in paradise. They're not sure
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: whether or not they're in good standing with God. They say, well,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I'll find out when I'm gone from this earth, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: then I'll see if God will wait his scales right
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that's not the born again Christian idea. Right, That's not
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: how God of the Bible, right of the Christian Bible speaks.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He doesn't say, Okay, if you do enough good works,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: then I'll let you win. How much is enough? How
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: much good would you have to do to gain favor
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: with God? If we're trying to do it, if we're
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: trying to do it our own way, with our own efforts,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that's a good question. Right. So we don't live in doubt,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not knowing whether or not we're born again, not knowing
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: whether or not Jesus saves, not knowing whether or not
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: God performs science, miracles and wonders, not knowing whether or
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not the Word of God is valid and relevant in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: our times. No, we speak as if we know. What
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we know and who we know is the living Word
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of God that breathed life into us. As a matter
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of fact, the scriptures say that the whole of the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Word of God was breathed into by God himself. God
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Don't get anxious, don't get doubtful.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Use God's word to speak in the present tense, right
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: in the present tense. And I thought I had more
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: examples here, but I guess I was thinking something else.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So we did the exchanges during the week. So never say, man,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I feel weak, I'm not going to get any help.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Don't say that. Say that when I'm weak, then I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: am strong. That's the word. Receives the strength now, not tomorrow,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: not next week. Receive the strength of the Lord now,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: tewod Corinthians, Chapter twelve, verse ten. About this man, I'm
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: afraid and I don't know if I'm ever going to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: get over this fear. Well, instead of saying that, you say, well,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: it is written. God has not given me a spirit
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Two Timothy one to seven. So you can say, I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: this is the declaration I receive courage. Now see the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: present sense I received that now, because your word is
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: already written. A man, even if you don't know the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: scriptures about what God is about to do, what he
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: said he's going to do. His past miracles are his
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: resume for our current miracle. What God did in the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: past is his resume for what he can do today. Amen,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it's the same God. I know. A lot of people say, well,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the God of the Old Covenant, he was a god
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of wrath and a God of a new Covenant. He
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: was a God of peace. Now it's the same God.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Only thing the representation was the Father in the Old Testament, Elohem,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the Father right holy spirits showed up in the Old Covenant.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus showed up in the Old Covenant. Amen, you have
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to read it for yourself. But it's the same God,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the same God who was, who is and it is
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to come. That is the power of God's word that
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: is present. When God says I am who I say
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I am, I'm the Great I am, he's saying I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: am a present God. There's never a time or moment
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in your life or on my life that he has
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: never been. He has always been. That's the present sense.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: We don't have to go back and say, well, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: remember thirty years ago when God did this, Well, praise
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Remember that and say, well, the same God
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that got me out of this situation, the same God
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: who rescued me, the same God who saved me, the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: same God who performed a mimbracle my life is the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: present God right now, present sense. You see the power
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: in that. Good morning, Sister Joyce, I see you, Good morning,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: blessing to you. As well, and thank you for the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: blessings and for the group as well. Sister Nilsa, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, my sister, my friends. Good to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: see you on the morning. Devo. Amen. So what about
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: this anxiety? A lot of people are anxious right now. Better.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: If I'm not careful, I could get anxious too. Well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna exchange that anxiety with peace, and we're gonna
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: do it now. So it is written. If any of
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you lacks wisdom, excuse me, anxiety, excuse me. It is
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: written you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: are stayed on you God. When we stay our minds
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: on the Lord, we see every evil around us. We
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: see what's going on in this world. We see people
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: literally getting assassinated on the camera, live in front of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: their family, in front of us. That's horror, that's horrible,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: that's amazingly evil. God says, right, we have perfect peace
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: when our minds are stayed on Him Isaiah twenty six
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and three. So here's your declaration. I receive peace now
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: now right now? You want peace? Right? I know I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: want peace. Listen. I want to exchange the peace of
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: God for anything that this world offers, any type of money.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: People always say, yeah, right, if somebody offered you a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: couple of million, you would stop talking what you're talking,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and you would just take that couple of million and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: be quiet. I won't because if I don't have the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: peace of God in me, that money is not gonna
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: be worth anything. Amen. I'll have a lot of stuff,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but I'm without peace. It's not an even exchange, not
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: even fair man. There's no way, there's no way. Thank
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you for the blessing, Sister Neilsa to the group, Amen, Franzuela,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Good morning my sister and my friend
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: from YouTube, Amen watching God bless you. Welcome back to
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the morning deep with my sister. So listen, that is
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: not the present tense speaking. You want to talk about
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the past. Some people know my past. Imagine if I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: got out here talked about my past every time you
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: were like okay, wanted me to get to the good part,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: because my past wasn't so good before Jesus rescued me,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: before he met me where I was. Because the Lord
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: found me. I used to always say I found Jesus,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: but actually biblically, Amen, I had to learn this later on.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And maybe you're learning to that. We don't find God.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: God finds us. God was never lost. We will. So
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: when Jesus met me where I was, right there in
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: my evil space, my demon time, whatever you want to
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: call it, he met me where I was, and now
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: He's taken me and taken you if you're born again
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to where he is. Isn't that beautiful? That's a beautiful, powerful,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: present tense God, I know where I'm going when I die. God,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I know you save me. God. I know miracles happening. God,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I know I have peace. God, I know I have wisdom.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And that's the next one. Right, If you're confused, that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: means you need wisdom. And there's a lot of people
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: in confusion right now. You know, if you look too
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: deep into what's going on in this world and you
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: don't have the plan of God or you don't know
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: how the word of God, yeah, it's gonna draw you
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: in and it's gonna cause confusion. But in that confusion,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you're gonna exchange that for wisdom. It is written. If
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: any of you lacks wisdom, and this is good, ask God,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: who gives generously without fighting faults. Right, Oh, God is
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: not saying it's those people on the left for those
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: people on the right. He's not finding fault in what
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: happens in this world because he knows a lot of
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: people are confused. So if that's you and you find
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: yourself confused, James one to five says, ask God, who
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: gives generously without finding fault. If you lack wisdom, ask God, well,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: here's your declaration. I receive wisdom now present sense, Jesus
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: is now present sense. It's in the word. We have
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the Word of God. It's not like we're making this up.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It's not like I'm trying to force my belief on people.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: The Word of God says it, I believe it. Activate
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: what you believe, Apply what you believe, apply who you
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: believe in. Let Holy Spirit guide you. Right, And sometimes
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that's not easy for me. I'm trying to figure things out.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: And then sometimes later I'll go and ask God, that's wrong, right.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: If I'm trying to figure it out, then I'm telling God,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I'll get to you later. That's not present sense. That's
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: putting God on the back burner. And I don't really
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: think we could do that. But you understand what I'm saying, right,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I try to figure a lot of things out before
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I ask God for this wisdom. And sometimes if I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm in some kind of confusion, I tend right.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And a lot of evangelists won't tell you this, Amen.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I tend to go into my own mind, bank right
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and try to say, Man, I did this before, How
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: did I do it? How did I get out of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: it before? And I'm like, all the spayer is like,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: did you really get out of that situation by yourself?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Did you really get what you wanted to get before
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: by yourself? No? Never. I never got anything that I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: have that's worth anything by myself. It was the work
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: of God in and through my life, and even before
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I was saved, whatever I had right, it was never
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: because I figured it out by myself. Always have people
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: around me, and even though we weren't on the same
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: wave level that I'm on now. Amen. But I can't
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: deny my past, but I can't look at my past
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: go back to the past and speak from the past. Right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to speak the present tense. I'm going to
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: speak the word of God when I'm confused, when I'm
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: in fear, when i feel weak, and when i feel anxious.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to exchange those things for instead of looking
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: at my past when it came to all of those things,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to look at the present God, the present word,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the present tense that God has for us. He is
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the present Lord. So we know that Lord gives strength
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: when I'm weak. We know that the Lord gives peace
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: when I'm anxious. We know that I can receive all
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: of what God has for my life, and you can
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: receive all that God has for your life right now
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: by faith, right now, amend. People are saying I need money,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I'm broke, and you're working, you have a business, You're
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: doing everything that you can to get ahead. I know
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I'm doing everything I can to
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: keep afloat, to stay ahead, to provide for my family,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and in some areas I'm failing. A lot of men
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: won't tell you that, especially Christian men. I'm failing. Why, Well,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to change that. I guess it's the way
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I'm talking, the way I'm believing. Amen. One of my
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: spiritual guides in the Christian walk, she's a doctor, she
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: has a doctorate, and she's a reverend. Amen. And it's
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: been in my life since man, since when I got saved,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and there was a point that God was speaking through
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: her to me and told me go ahead and go
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: get that building for your ministry. And it was me
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and my spiritual son, Michael, and we were listening to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: and we're looking at each other. Go get a building.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: She said, yeah, the building is yours. Go go ahead
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and get it. She didn't know that we were actually
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: talking about where we were going to place the ministry.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: We needed a building, we needed more space and all that.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: So here comes the word, the God, present God and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the present word. And we looked at each other and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: he said, she said, when you go. I know you
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: don't have the finances, she said, and I know you
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: don't have the means to get it, but by faith,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: God's could have opened that door wide open, and you're
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: going to get that building. Well, after we got that word,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: we spoke. It was really my fault. I can't blame
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: my spiritual son. He was following what I was doing,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, that's not going to happen. So
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I deleted that present word amen with doubt. So when
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you have faith, don't doubt what you have been told
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: by God. Go ahead, knocking on the doors, go ahead
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and get that house. Go ahead and get that building,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: go ahead and start that business. The Lord spoke it
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to you, a man, activated don't be like what I did.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: And I was like, Nah, that's not gonna be. We
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: don't got this, we don't have that. When God speaks
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a word over your life, he's not looking at what
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you don't have. He's looking at what you're gonna get
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and what you do have. And if you have faith
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: in him, Amen, go ahead and have faith in the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Lord who spoke those words over your life. So go
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: back to Romans chapter eight thirty seven. That's where we were,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that's where we started. Read the whole chapter for yourself.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I'm out of time, though, I hope this encourages you
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to go in the weekend with just an encouraged word,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a present tense word, amen, a present time that we're
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: living in now. We need God to be present in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: our lives, and he is and he is and he
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: will be there at the very time of need that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: you need him. Amen. Amen. So I'm out of here.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I'm out of time, but man, have a great weekend.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I hope you are blessed. God bless you all. Thank
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you so much for coming through. God bless you God
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
