• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning family, God, welcome back to the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Morning Devo. You already know what it is. It's Friday,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: so you know we get into authentic imitationology. This is
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: episode number ninety seven. I can't believe it. We're closing
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in on one hundred episodes of a Friday session on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Morning Devo. We call this authentic imitationology, authentically imitating
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the most successful person who has ever lived on this
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: whole entire planet, the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth from Nazareth.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And man, that's an amazing thing, at least to me.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And that God will be so faithful to his word
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: over this ministry, over this segment, over these Morning DeVos,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and that you will be able to come through as
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: well and experience over ninety episodes of authentic imitationology. So
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: welcome back to Morning Devo, which your bro Sam Lopez.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Amazing that we could get together through technology, through audio,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: through video, amen, and through these kind of means that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we get together in. So thank you Jesus for this day,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: thank you for your promise, thank you for fulfilling your word,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and thank you for being faithful to your work. Amen.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So there's no other explanation of what God has been
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: doing other than his faithfulness and his word for his word,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: through his word, because of his word, because of his authority,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: because of his love, because of his mercy, because of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: his power, all of it. He shines his light brightly
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on his own word to perform exactly what his word
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: will perform. Amen. So I can't take any credit for it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Only thing I could take credit for is just showing up,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not knowing what's going to happen, but knowing I could
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: trust in the Lord Jesus, the one who knows everything
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen before and after. Amen. And during
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Authentic Invitationology number ninety seven, episode ninety seven. Today, I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: calling this one special needs. Special needs. God brought that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and put that on my heart yesterday after we had
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a little encounter in a city yesterday as I was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: passing by in a gas station or this man threatened
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to need some body harm. And at the moment I'm
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie with shock, I was like me, like,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Guy rolled down the window and everything.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He says, oh, you know, he was going like this.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He says, you know you got a problem, and weird.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's weird stuff. Ultimately, and after that, I think it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: was a demonic, demonic manifestation. You know. I know it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: sounds spiritual, but listen, there was no other eiceplanation for that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That was just a weird thing. And I was thinking
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: maybe and God gave me this last well, I was
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: thinking about it. Maybe that person has special needs, right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and so I said, well, I'll pray for that person
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and we'll do that today. Amen, I really did it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in my heart after I settled my heart. God takes
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: special interest in anyone with special needs anyone. Doesn't mean
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that you have to be a born again believer, doesn't
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: mean that your parents have to be born again, doesn't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: mean God takes special interest in people with special needs,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: In anyone with special needs. We're gonna be coming from Isaiah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: chapter forty six, verse number sixteen. We're gonna read that
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: word amen, meditating a word devotion time in that word
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: so that we can see the power and move of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: God when it comes to special needs. So I know
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: some people, some parents, Amen, some people who have kids
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with special needs, and society sees that as a burden. Right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: A lot of medical insurance companies see that as a burden.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: God sees it as a special interest. Amen. So God
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: takes special interest in anyone with special needs Isaiah forty
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to sixteen. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines, and that person
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is watching or listening right now, God bless you right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The power of God, the piece of God be upon you. Amen.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Also that we're going to pray first. After we pray,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we shud this out for like sixty seconds, and maybe
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we could reconnect with that man or that person that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: had an issue. Evidently with either the glory of God
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the power God definitely didn't know the person. Maybe this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: person has special needs driving a pretty decent nice car
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and just left out of the gas station angry on
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: what happened special needs. So Father God, thank you lo
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: God for today. Thank you for protecting me and guiding
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: me and guarding me yesterday, today and forevermore. Thank you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for doing the same for my friends and my family,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my wife, our children, our bloodlines from the very youngest
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: family member to the very oldest. Thank you for your protection,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: for your health, to our bodies, strength, to our bones.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us and in us, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: thank you Lord God for having special interest with those
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: with special needs. That society will call them one thing
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: or another, but you call them into your presence, You
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: call them into your power, into your love, into your grace,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: into your mercy. That you have special interests in anyone
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: with special needs. I praise you, Low God, for your
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: love over all of us and that you love God
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: are forgiving God, a holy God, a righteous God, all
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: powerful God. Thank you, Lo God for who you are
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. I pray, Lord God specifically for those
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: parents who have children with special needs. I pray, lowd God,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that you would give them growth, patience. You will give
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: them wisdom, understanding and a community that will be able
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to help them out in that situation and that life
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and that place where you have them look at and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: remind them of your word over their lives as well,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that no one is counted out. We're all counted in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: when it comes to your purpose and plan for our lives.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So I speak life concerning all things living, and I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: speak death to all those demonic influencing people, whose themonic
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: influenced entities and spirits that try to distract and come
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: against the power, the love, the mercy and the word
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of God over our lives in Jesus name. That Lord God,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you will continue to conquer those things, and we have
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: no weapon that's formed against us that will prosper. Thank
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you that I could be here unharmed, even though it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: was threatened yesterday. Thank you for that. And those others
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: yesterday or today or maybe tomorrow that will have some
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: kind of encounter similar I pray the power of your
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: protection over their lives. I set off arkwarding Jews, minister
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: angels with warrant angels, set forth them, dispatch them right
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: now in the power of the Lord Jesus Name, and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that they will annihilate the tactics of the enemy as well.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And Jesus Name, we praise by faith, and those who
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: agree we say Amen and Amen. Sister Joanne, I see you.

  Speaker 1: So authentic commentationology. This is part of the Morning Devo,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: part of the Blaze Bible Studies. Amen, online and on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the network. So you know, I take special care to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: this ministry because God gave it to me. Man, it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: his ministry, and he allowed me to steward what he
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: has given me. Amen. So I thank you so much
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: for giving me the opportunity to minister to you and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to see what the Word of God's going to minister
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to us collectively. A man is his word that has
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all the authority, all the power. A man his word
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that shines brightly through this ministry. Thank you Jesus for
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. Amen's let's go for it. Authentic inventationology,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: special needs Amen. The Word of God says in Isaiah
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: chapter forty two, verse sixteen, and I will bring the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: blind by way that they not know. They know not
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I will lead them in paths. We're talking about blind people.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: God is saying, I will lead them in paths that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: they have not known. I will make darkness into light
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: before them, and make uneven places into a plane. These
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: things I have determined to do for them. And I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: will not leave them forsaken. This is where we as
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: believers get the word that God will never leave us
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: nor forsake us. This could see literal blindness or spiritual blindness.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Literal blindness meaning a person who is blind who can't see,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: who always sees darkness. God says he will leave them
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in past that they have not known. Spiritually blind people.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I was spiritually blind once before. What about you? Could
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: not see my sin, could not see that I was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: headed in the wrong direction, could not see the glory
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of God, cannot see the Savior, cannot see life. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: only even see in death. What God says he will
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: lead me and you that were in that darkness into past,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: they have not known. So whether you take it literally
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: or figuratively, physically or spiritually, God is doing a work. Amen.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: He says he will make darkness into light before them,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and make even uneven places into a plane. So he
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: would take crooked paths and make them straight according to
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: his word. So He's totally totally interested in the special needs,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: people with special needs, anyone with special needs, he will
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: be there. He will help us. He doesn't create us
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to make us a burden. He created us to make
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: us a blessing. He created us to show his glory.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: No matter what type of situation you're in, God's glory
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: would shine through what is our parts to play trusting Him,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: trusting Him. Amen. And so some it's easy to trust
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord. To others it's difficult. So wherever you find
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: yourself on whatever part of the scale you find yourself,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you know, if you find yourself trusting God with no problem,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: or you have a hard time trusting God. Amen. My
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: prayers for you and with you that you will do
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: what God has proms. Amen. Or you would do something
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and receive the promise of God, or you would just
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: rely on the word and promise of God's word over
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: your life and over my life. When we come together
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: collectively trusting in God, the God of heaven and Earth,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Heaven's armies, we won't fail. We won't go wrong because
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: He will never leave us nor forsakens right. He would
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: make cricket paths straight. This is an amazing thing. Only
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: God could do this. Amen. And he does it well.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need anyone else help. He doesn't need anyone
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: else's help when he comes to his word, when it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: comes to his word, when it comes to his authority. Amen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He allows us to see things like yesterday we saw
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a manifestation of a demonic entity working through a person
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that was full of hatred for me. And I don't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: know you know what that was all about, but a hindsight,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I believe God spoke and said that that person has
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: special needs. So we have to pray right regarding that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: at the time, at the moment when you're feeling threatened,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: when you're feeling that there's gonna be harm coming your way,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you're not thinking that clearly. But thank you Jesus for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a sound mind and a spirit, not a fear, but
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a spirit of courage and a sound mind and love
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a man. He gave it all to us by way
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of His Holy Spirit. So that's Isaiah forty two sixteen.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: God takes special interest in anyone with special needs. How
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: about this one. Psalms Chapter eighty two, verse number three.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Psalms Chapter eighty two, verse number three. The Bible says,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: defend the cause of the weak and fatherless, maintain the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: rights of the poor and oppressed. So God take special
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you need. He even commands us to take care of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the weakened followers right to help those out who need help,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: especially the baby in the womb. Baby in the womb
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of the mom has a right to live right that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: This is why there's a big debate going on in
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the political realm. It shouldn't be in the church, but
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in the political realm for sure. We see it about abortion,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: pro life, pro abortion, whatever the case may be. God
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: speaks life into all things, makes all things alive when
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He comes through and speaks his word. We were all
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: created the same way. Unless you're from another planet, we
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: will create it the same way. Amen. And we came
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to this world basically the same through the mother's womb.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So there's power in life, power in God given life,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: power and conception, Life and conception. Amen. We are to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: be the voice for those who would need a voice,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the fatherless, Amen, the weak. And we're supposed to maintain
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the rights of the poor and oppressed, defend the cause
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of the week and men. Some people consider people with
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: special needs weak. I consider people with special needs blessed.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They don't have the same worry that we so called
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: normal people have. They don't have I think they live longer, Amen.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I have to check the stats.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I believe people with special needs live longer because they
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: have less stress and they have a lot more help.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: They are being along by God and God's people, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they seem to have a community who really loves them
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and that they could rely on. I know a business
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: owner that's filled with holy spirit God that's on a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: mission to create a facility for people with special needs
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that after their caretaker or their parents pass on, they
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: have a place to live. And he's working on that,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and he's close to his goal of raising the funds
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Amen to get that done. An amazing mission, Amen. And
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: he has experienced a children with special needs and he
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: knows other fathers and parents with special needs children, so
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it was placed on his heart. Amen. And he's also
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: a caretaker for his own wife, as they are both
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: up in age. So that deserves honor, and that deserves
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a mention, that deserves a blessing from the Lord. Right,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: God will bless that because he's doing what the word says.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: He is defending the cause of the weak and followless.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: He's maintaining the rights of the poor and oppressed by
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: creating a facility that after their caretakers or their parents
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: pass on, they have a place a community to stay,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to live, and to thrive and to grow old. Amen,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: with caring communities. So that's an amazing mission. How about
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this one? Got another one for you. First Corinthians, chapter
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: number one. First Corinthians, Chapter number one, Verses twenty seven
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and twenty nine. But God chose the foolish things of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: things of the world to shame the strong. He chose
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the lowly things of this world, and the despised things,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and the things that are not to nullify the things
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that are, so that no one may boast before him.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: In other words, you probably heard this before, that when
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: someone is born with special needs. You probably heard this,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: especially in the medical field and down in the medical field.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we honor doctors, nurses and physicians and people
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in the medical field that see things before we see it,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and they know how to diagnose and they know how
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to treat things. But God comes with the cure, right,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And they say, well, this child
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: with special needs, you know they're not going to be
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: able to do this that and the third you've heard it,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I've heard it. Then I could be able to walk
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in I can be able to talk, and I could
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: be able to live past a certain age. And they
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: make these medical curse decisions, medical curses. Yeah, and God
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: sees otherwise. That's why I believe that if you trust
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: God no matter what the situation, no matter what they
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: tell you about your child, how your child's going to be,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: trust God in a situation, amen, and He will see
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you through. You know that from experience. Me and my
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: wife know that first hand experience. When they told my wife, no,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you will never have children that will live past a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: certain amount, they were right in the beginning, so called right,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: God allowed us He taught us a lesson that was
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: God teaching us a lesson on faith and a lesson
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I'm believing in his word, a lesson on life. And
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: then when it came to the time that God's promise
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: was fulfilled a man, he gave us double the promise. Amen.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And now we know the handy work of God, the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: promise of God waiting on the Lord. We know it all. Amen.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And although they would tell us, no, you're never going
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to have a child that's not going to be without
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: special needs, we have two children that the world will
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: call normal. God says they're blessed regardless even if they
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: had special needs. They're blessed the creation of God. God
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't make any mistakes. James Nobody, Good morning, God, bless you.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning Devo. I'll see you there. Amen,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: good morning. But the Frank saying, bless you and your family.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Bless you in your family as well, my bro. Amen,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it's good to see you here in the morning Devo.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So you probably know somebody I know some people with
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: children with special needs. Amen. I have a great uncle
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: with special needs. I'm not even sure if he's still alive,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: but he has special needs. I haven't seen him in
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a long time. He might be the last of a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: family line that we have. Man, I see a community,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a man around special needs children, and I see Christ
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: in that. I see God in that. I see the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: goodness of people's hearts in that. Amen, that they were
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: not leaving anyone out. Especially when God says he'll use
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the weak to confound the wise, he'll use those who
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: are so called normal. I mean He'll show the people
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a so called normal by the lowly things in life
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that we deem to be the lowly things of life.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And God would use that for his glory. A man,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: he's interested in anyone special interests in anyone with special needs.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: That's the God we serve. That's the Christ we have. Amen,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: we need to be imitators of that. We need to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: care like Jesus cared. Right, we need to care like
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: God cares. We need to be a friend to those
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: who are in need. We need to be a help
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: for those who are in need of help. We need
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: to be a community that comes alongside of other people
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: that have these issues in life. Are they less? No,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: They're not less than us. They are human beings created
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in the image of the Holy Righteous, loving, just God. Amen,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and we need to respect that. No one is left behind,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: no one is counted out according to the kingdom purposes
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of God for their life. Why these things happen, well,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the fallen world, that's generic. I know it sounds generic
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and might even sound not caring. But Genesis chapter three
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: shows you why these things happen. Before Genesis chapter three,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: before the fall of Man, none of that would have
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: been even in existent. In existence right, it would have
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: been no genetic issues, no sin, no disease, no sickness,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: no death before Genesis three. Think about that, a man.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So that tells me that it wasn't God's original intention
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: for all of this that's happening in our lives to happen. Right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Death wasn't supposed to happen. If Adam and Eve would
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have obeyed God, if Adam would have stepped up and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: spoke back to that serpent or so the serpents leave,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: none of this would have happened. But it happened, right.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: So we can't play the blame game like we saw
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: so early on in the scriptures after the Fall of Man.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: We can't play that game. But what we could do
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is trust in the Redeemer, the one who was sent
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to bring things back to this original purpose, to the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: original plan of God, the one who says I'm bringing
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a new heaven and a new Earth, and his promises
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: in his word are all yay and ain'tmen, So we
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna happen. When nobody could tell you when,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the time, the place, the hour. No one could tell
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you that. But what we could do is we could
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: rely on the one who said and promised that he
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: was coming back. Special needs. You might know somebody with
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: special needs. Amen. God has a special interest in anyone
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: with special needs, so we should be imitators of that too.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: We should have special interests with anyone with special needs.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Joan says, that is so beautiful to live in the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: world with people that don't hate each other and getting
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: along with each other and loving everybody. Yes, yes, you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: know I felt threatened yesterday when that man was going
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: like this to be and he was calling me out
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and his car was calling me out,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: threatened to, you know, do some harm. But I was
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: really caught off guard. I'm not gonna not gonna lie
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: because basically definitely was minding my own business walking by
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to get into a wah wah and all that happened.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: But when I noticed that this man wasn't right, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: man a sister in Christ that was with us as well,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and her husband, she just said, bless you have a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: nice day and started walking away, and that caused the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: wrath that was coming out of his mouth to simmer
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: down and he left. And then afterwards she had told
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: her husband and myself that there was a certain out
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of fear in us because we look back. She said, listen,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the lesson here is and then when you speak peace
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: over someone about the way, keep moving, don't turn back.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: God has the situation under control. And I learned that lesson. Man,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I'm always willing to learn. And the fear that was
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that when we turn back, me and her husband, we
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure everybody was going to be safe. Amen.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So I don't think it was so much of a
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: fear as much as it was a concern. But that
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: person definitely had special needs, and we need to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: praying for people with special needs. Amen. Joanne says, I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: go through a lot like that. When I'm driving and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: people putting up their middle finger, I say to myself,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I leave it in the hands of God. Yes, Amen,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate when it happens. And we know that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: people are angry, We know that people are unsaved, We
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: know that people have special needs. But God has special
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: interests with all those people as well. So socially, Amen,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: be you mindful of your roundings. Amn, Use discernment and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: don't get into situations where you may have to resort
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to your own effort. But let's reli on God that
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: every single situation when it comes to that situation as well.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm out of time. I hope you understand what's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: going on here. Take time today read Isaiah chapter forty two,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the whole chapter a man and tell me what you think.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: So God bless you all, God keep you all, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: remember always that God is good. Peace
