- 0:03Speaker 1: Wanting family, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
- 0:05Speaker 1: the Morning DeVos. Your bro Sam Lopez aka Dj sam Brock.
- 0:09Speaker 1: So one is with a z dot org Live that
- 0:12Speaker 1: so win is with a z dot org streaming on
- 0:14Speaker 1: social media platforms and on a YouTube page which is
- 0:18Speaker 1: simply called dj sam Brock. If you're at live that's
- 0:21Speaker 1: soone is with a z dot org, you're gonna notice
- 0:24Speaker 1: that it's quiet space. Is the time you could really
- 0:28Speaker 1: concentrate and reflect on what's going on on these Morning
- 0:30Speaker 1: DeVos as a live chat as well that I could see,
- 0:34Speaker 1: and also has an interactive Bible right there online for
- 0:38Speaker 1: you to follow through with the scriptures as well. So
- 0:42Speaker 1: I always highly recommend if you're a type of person
- 0:45Speaker 1: that don't want pop ups and everything coming up on
- 0:47Speaker 1: the screen while you're trying to focus on the word
- 0:51Speaker 1: or get into a devotional time. Amen, go to live
- 0:53Speaker 1: that someone is with a z dot org and we'll
- 0:56Speaker 1: see you over there as well. So today we're calling
- 0:59Speaker 1: this one of service acts of service, because it always
- 1:04Speaker 1: sounds like I'm saying acts like I AX that chops
- 1:06Speaker 1: down trees, but it's acts of service when salvation takes
- 1:11Speaker 1: root in your heart. Love for God and people isn't
- 1:14Speaker 1: just felt, is lived out, it's lived out, Amen. So
- 1:19Speaker 1: that's where we're going to be at acts of service,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and we need that right about that right we need
- 1:26Speaker 1: access service. Service is where faith meets action. Faith meets action,
- 1:33Speaker 1: and it's how the love of Christ becomes visible to
- 1:37Speaker 1: the world. The world don't really care about what we
- 1:41Speaker 1: know until we show them that we do something about
- 1:45Speaker 1: what we know. They're not going to care about what
- 1:48Speaker 1: we know until they know that we care. And the
- 1:51Speaker 1: only way people will know that we care is when
- 1:53Speaker 1: we put our faith in action, when we do acts
- 1:56Speaker 1: service unto others. Everybody doesn't have to be a crue
- 2:00Speaker 1: for me to go ahead and help somebody out. You
- 2:02Speaker 1: don't have to be a believer in the Lord a man.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You could be into another religion, you could be in
- 2:09Speaker 1: different ways of living, lifestyles and all this other stuff.
- 2:12Speaker 1: The Lord is here through his people, serving the community,
- 2:18Speaker 1: serving the people, the acts of service, and then people
- 2:21Speaker 1: will ask ninety nine percent of acts, why would you
- 2:25Speaker 1: do that for me? Amen? And that's a wide open
- 2:28Speaker 1: door for you to introduce them to the one who
- 2:31Speaker 1: inspires you to do good, the one who is only
- 2:35Speaker 1: good in us, Holy Spirit God, to do good for others.
- 2:38Speaker 1: We're gonna be in James chapter one, verse twenty seven,
- 2:41Speaker 1: Acts of Service. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 2:45Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines, feel free. The
- 2:49Speaker 1: live chat is open, Amen. And also, if you're listening
- 2:52Speaker 1: as soone is with a Zida org to sell everydio
- 2:55Speaker 1: network a man, welcome back, and we hope you enjoy
- 2:58Speaker 1: what you're gonna hear. This is your first time. Welcome
- 3:01Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. Try to get here at five
- 3:03Speaker 1: thirty a m. Eastern Standard time Mondays through Fridays. Amen.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I try my best to get into the studio on time.
- 3:10Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's pray first. After we pray,
- 3:13Speaker 1: we'll share us out for like sixty seconds, and then
- 3:15Speaker 1: on the other side of those sixty seconds, we'll get
- 3:17Speaker 1: run into our scripture for today's Morning Devo. James, Chapter one,
- 3:21Speaker 1: verse number twenty seven. I see you, brother John, Good morning.
- 3:24Speaker 1: God bless you my brother. It's good to see you
- 3:27Speaker 1: on the Morning Devo. So let's go for it. Let's pray. Father,
- 3:30Speaker 1: I thank you for it right now, thank you for
- 3:32Speaker 1: this moment, thank you for every single breath that you
- 3:35Speaker 1: allow me to take on this side of eternity. I pray,
- 3:38Speaker 1: Lord God, the peace of God, the strength of God,
- 3:40Speaker 1: the power and the authority of God, your Word, Lord God,
- 3:43Speaker 1: your holy Spirit, Lord Jesus, will continue to lead the way,
- 3:47Speaker 1: lead our lives as we honor you through our acts
- 3:50Speaker 1: of service for others, as we love one another, to
- 3:53Speaker 1: show this world that we are together unified as the
- 3:56Speaker 1: body of Christ. Thank you, Lord God, for every single
- 3:59Speaker 1: person connecting now who will connect later, for every single
- 4:02Speaker 1: person who's watching now who will listen later or watch
- 4:06Speaker 1: later as well. I pray Low God, I hedge your
- 4:08Speaker 1: protection by your power, by your angelic hosts, that you
- 4:13Speaker 1: will surround us with your angels, that you would God us,
- 4:15Speaker 1: guard us and protect us during the day, during the night,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and every day that we are signed here on this
- 4:20Speaker 1: earth until that day that you say, Okay, your time
- 4:24Speaker 1: here is done, well done, good and faithful servant. I
- 4:27Speaker 1: pray Love God, that the peace of God that's in
- 4:30Speaker 1: us will reflect around us, and that we would do
- 4:34Speaker 1: access service not based on what we could get back,
- 4:36Speaker 1: but based on the love that we have from one another,
- 4:39Speaker 1: the love of God that's flowing through us, and that
- 4:42Speaker 1: people will want to know why we're doing access service.
- 4:46Speaker 1: According to your word, Lord God, we are made for this,
- 4:50Speaker 1: we are prepared for this, and we are in this world.
- 4:54Speaker 1: But we're not o this world. So therefore there's a
- 4:56Speaker 1: difference of how we do access service according to your
- 4:59Speaker 1: will and purpose. So I speak life concerning all things living.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Come against any demonic influence, any demonic attacks over our lives,
- 5:07Speaker 1: over our ministries, over our families, in our jobs, in
- 5:10Speaker 1: our schools, any place you find a child of God.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Lot God, I pray that the hell's evil tactics will
- 5:20Speaker 1: not overcome us. That we will walk in victory every
- 5:24Speaker 1: single day of our lives until you return. And Jesus
- 5:27Speaker 1: Holy Name, pray it's by faith. And those who agree
- 5:29Speaker 1: with say Amen, sue the amen. So help me share
- 5:33Speaker 1: this out. Help me share this out sixty seconds, and
- 5:35Speaker 1: then when we come back, we'll get right into today's
- 5:37Speaker 1: morning devo acts of service. Today. I'll be right back
- 6:58Speaker 1: you men, we're back. Listen. It's time for us to
- 7:02Speaker 1: really put our faith in action. If you're not doing that, Amen,
- 7:10Speaker 1: come up out of where you are join those who
- 7:14Speaker 1: are active in their faith. Just if you don't want
- 7:17Speaker 1: to say anything or do anything right away in the beginning,
- 7:20Speaker 1: But just see for yourself what that looks like. Amen.
- 7:25Speaker 1: It's not only talking heads like me that I'm sitting
- 7:28Speaker 1: in studios in front of cameras. That's doing things I'm
- 7:31Speaker 1: talking about outside of our environment, outside of our comfort zone.
- 7:37Speaker 1: That we go out there and reach somebody with the
- 7:40Speaker 1: love of God outside of your comfort zone, outside of
- 7:44Speaker 1: your area, maybe at the supermarket, at the bank, at
- 7:49Speaker 1: the baseball game, football game, at an event at the mall.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Anywhere you go. You bring the Kingdom of Guy with you. Therefore,
- 8:00Speaker 1: you are prepared, You are ready to go. You are
- 8:03Speaker 1: ready to do what your commission to do is to
- 8:05Speaker 1: go and preach the gospel and make disciples, baptize them
- 8:09Speaker 1: in the name of the Father's Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
- 8:12Speaker 1: And you don't have to broadcast, you don't have to
- 8:14Speaker 1: lae stream it all the time. God is watching. Amen.
- 8:17Speaker 1: And to me, that's the audience that I'm more concerned about,
- 8:21Speaker 1: the audience of one which is the Lord. Amen. Since Joanne,
- 8:25Speaker 1: I see you, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back
- 8:27Speaker 1: to the morning. Be with my sister and my friend.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Let's get into this word. Let's see what the Book
- 8:32Speaker 1: of Acts, one of my favorite New Testament books, has
- 8:36Speaker 1: to say about acts of service. How we should be
- 8:39Speaker 1: serving one another. Amen, according to the will of God
- 8:43Speaker 1: in our lives and through our lives. That's the powerful
- 8:45Speaker 1: thing that God could use anybody to have his will
- 8:49Speaker 1: done be done on earth. Amen. Sometimes I always say,
- 8:53Speaker 1: all you have to do is show up and God
- 8:54Speaker 1: will take it from there. Amen. We don't know what
- 8:57Speaker 1: to say or what to do every single time. I know,
- 9:00Speaker 1: at least for me, I don't know what to say.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't know what to do sometimes in certain situations.
- 9:05Speaker 1: But just I just rely on Holy Spirit because I
- 9:07Speaker 1: know he knows what to do all the time. He
- 9:09Speaker 1: knows what to say all the time, and he will
- 9:11Speaker 1: always guide you into all truth. And he doesn't make
- 9:14Speaker 1: any mistakes. Amen. So therefore he's perfect. James shot the
- 9:18Speaker 1: one verse twenty seven. And this is what the apostle
- 9:22Speaker 1: James is saying that we should be. Our mindset should
- 9:26Speaker 1: be based on this pure and unblemish religion as it
- 9:32Speaker 1: is expressed in our ward acts and the sight of
- 9:36Speaker 1: our God and Father. Is this So when people call
- 9:40Speaker 1: me religious, I hope they're talking about pure religion, not
- 9:45Speaker 1: religion that's man made to visit and look after the
- 9:50Speaker 1: fatherless and the widows in their distress, and to keep
- 9:54Speaker 1: oneself uncontaminated by the secular world. Okay, so next time
- 10:03Speaker 1: somebody calls me, hey, I know you're a religious person,
- 10:05Speaker 1: I'm like, thank you, right. I don't like that word
- 10:10Speaker 1: over me, like, oh, he's a religious person. Unless they're
- 10:13Speaker 1: talking about pure and unblemish religion, then I'm like thank you, right,
- 10:18Speaker 1: Because if they see you looking after the followless, and
- 10:21Speaker 1: they see you right taking care of the widows that
- 10:25Speaker 1: are distressed, and if they see that you're trying to
- 10:29Speaker 1: keep yourself uncontaminated by the world, uncontaminated by the world,
- 10:33Speaker 1: then when they say you're religious, then that's a compliment.
- 10:36Speaker 1: But if they're saying that you're being religious according to
- 10:39Speaker 1: man made or rules and laws and man made this
- 10:43Speaker 1: and man made that, I don't want to I don't
- 10:47Speaker 1: want to take that as a compliment over my life. Amen,
- 10:50Speaker 1: And you probably don't want to take that as a
- 10:52Speaker 1: compliment either. If they're talking about some weird religious activities
- 10:57Speaker 1: that's out there, and then they're including you with that,
- 11:00Speaker 1: they see like a crazy preacher on TV that's talking
- 11:04Speaker 1: all kind of crazy things, right, And they say, oh,
- 11:08Speaker 1: you must be one of those religious guys. And you
- 11:11Speaker 1: could kindly say, nah, that's not the pure religion that
- 11:15Speaker 1: the Word of God talks about. That's their religious ways
- 11:19Speaker 1: of manipulating and getting their things done for themselves. And
- 11:24Speaker 1: that's not the idea of the Gospel. That's not the
- 11:27Speaker 1: idea of God's word that he was supposed to or
- 11:30Speaker 1: she was supposed to be proclaiming from those pulpits. So
- 11:35Speaker 1: don't buy into, you know, these preachers that are famous
- 11:40Speaker 1: that have TV networks and all this stuff and all
- 11:44Speaker 1: that stuff, and they seem to be the blessed right,
- 11:48Speaker 1: the elite, blessed Gospel preachers. Be careful. Just go and
- 11:54Speaker 1: stick with the Word of God. Stick to the script,
- 11:57Speaker 1: follow what the Word of God says, follow Holy Spirit God,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and let him leads you into all truth. To that way,
- 12:03Speaker 1: you won't get into these places of error or these
- 12:05Speaker 1: places of you know, whatever you want to call it.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I don't even know. Sometimes I look at certain things
- 12:12Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are they talking about? Like what's
- 12:14Speaker 1: going on here? That's not even the Word of God.
- 12:17Speaker 1: So practical acts of service when salvation takes root in
- 12:20Speaker 1: your heart. Like I said earlier, love for God and
- 12:24Speaker 1: people isn't just felt. The love for God for people
- 12:28Speaker 1: is lived out through actions, tangible actions, things that you
- 12:32Speaker 1: can actually do for a person. When next time you
- 12:35Speaker 1: go buy a homeless person, you know this person is homeless.
- 12:37Speaker 1: You see them out there all the time and all
- 12:39Speaker 1: kinds of weather, rain, snow, heat, and they're out there
- 12:44Speaker 1: and they're homeless. Listen, stop, talk to them as a
- 12:48Speaker 1: creation of God. Right, offer them something to eat. If
- 12:52Speaker 1: they ask for money, Amen, If you have it, give it, Amen,
- 12:56Speaker 1: and just keep it moving. Because if you see them
- 12:59Speaker 1: all the time in the same spot asking for help,
- 13:02Speaker 1: and you're a Christ follower and I'm a Christ follower
- 13:05Speaker 1: and we just walk by, it reminds me of the
- 13:08Speaker 1: Good Samaritan story. You know, keep on walking by people
- 13:12Speaker 1: who are hurt and walk to the other side of
- 13:15Speaker 1: the street and everything to avoid them. That's a pharasitical spirit,
- 13:19Speaker 1: that's a religious spirit. That's not the spirit of God.
- 13:23Speaker 1: And just be mindful. I know you know the people
- 13:25Speaker 1: in your area that do that and this amen. You
- 13:28Speaker 1: know the ones that are strung out, You know the
- 13:30Speaker 1: ones that are I call it an organized homelessness that
- 13:33Speaker 1: they go to different areas, tell you a story about
- 13:36Speaker 1: them being abandoned, them and their family, and then they
- 13:38Speaker 1: take your money. Then they go to another space and
- 13:41Speaker 1: they tell them the same story. So they've been abandoned
- 13:44Speaker 1: trying to get back home for like a year. Ready, Okay,
- 13:47Speaker 1: you know they could get you once, but use discernment.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Those people still need help because now they're in some
- 13:54Speaker 1: kind of like some kind of like scamish way of living,
- 13:59Speaker 1: which maybe they have no other way of getting by. Amen.
- 14:02Speaker 1: You could go ahead and speak to the person who's
- 14:05Speaker 1: created in the image of God as a person. Amen.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And we respect all humanity right as believers. We have
- 14:13Speaker 1: to respect people as creations of God made in the
- 14:17Speaker 1: image of God. So we approach them, not pointing fingers
- 14:21Speaker 1: and not saying you did this and you did that.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Approach them with love and see what happens. If they
- 14:25Speaker 1: don't receive it, they reject it, then we know the scripture.
- 14:28Speaker 1: We have to just keep it moving, Amen, and hope
- 14:31Speaker 1: and pray that someone else could will be able to
- 14:33Speaker 1: reach them. I can't reach everybody. You can't reach everybody,
- 14:36Speaker 1: but God has assignments for people to reach certain individuals
- 14:40Speaker 1: that we will not be able to reach. But our
- 14:43Speaker 1: job is to preach the gospel. Our job is to
- 14:45Speaker 1: be putting our faith in action as an acts of service,
- 14:49Speaker 1: so that when people know there is hope in this world,
- 14:52Speaker 1: that there are people who really care, there are people
- 14:55Speaker 1: who want to help, that there are people who are
- 14:57Speaker 1: filled with God's Holy spirit, that there is a truth,
- 15:00Speaker 1: absolute truth, There is a love, absolute love. There is
- 15:03Speaker 1: a way, absolute paths to righteousness. Amen. And there is
- 15:07Speaker 1: a life to live that's absolutely pure in the eyes
- 15:10Speaker 1: of God. Pure religion according to James Chapter one. Right.
- 15:15Speaker 1: So the Bible is consistent. Bible consistently calls believers to
- 15:21Speaker 1: care for the vulnerable, widows, orphans, the hungry, and the oppressed.
- 15:27Speaker 1: And we see oppression right, even though in America, the
- 15:30Speaker 1: type of oppression that people are talking about, it's not
- 15:34Speaker 1: the same oppression that people in remote countries and places
- 15:39Speaker 1: where there's no light, no electricity, no running water, and
- 15:43Speaker 1: the governments of those lands are keeping those people in
- 15:46Speaker 1: those situations for years upon years and decades. And we
- 15:51Speaker 1: have Christian missionaries, not only Christian missionaries, but Islamic missionaries,
- 15:55Speaker 1: people who have a good principles to help people. They're
- 16:03Speaker 1: putting their faith in action, and we should be in
- 16:06Speaker 1: those communities helping. Amen to that way, it's not a
- 16:10Speaker 1: competition to see or who can help the most people.
- 16:13Speaker 1: It's about being who we are in Christ and other
- 16:17Speaker 1: religions around that. Amen, when they see Christ's filled spirit,
- 16:22Speaker 1: holy spirit filled individual person serving, there's gonna be a
- 16:28Speaker 1: difference in the way that we serve a man. We're
- 16:31Speaker 1: serving with pure heart, pure motives, right, practicing pure religion,
- 16:36Speaker 1: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, Amen, taking care of
- 16:40Speaker 1: the followless. We're doing what we do because we are
- 16:44Speaker 1: faithful to the one who is faithful to us. There's
- 16:47Speaker 1: no other explanation that I could think of why we
- 16:50Speaker 1: do what we do. Religion that God our Father accepts
- 16:54Speaker 1: as pure and faultless is when we look after the offense.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Is when we take care of the widows in their distress. Right,
- 17:02Speaker 1: and it looks like feeding the hungry, providing clothing for
- 17:06Speaker 1: the homeless and the people who need shelters, supporting them
- 17:11Speaker 1: as well, or simply just showing up and showing compassion
- 17:17Speaker 1: to those that the society around us overlooks or they
- 17:22Speaker 1: throw them out of their areas because they want to develop,
- 17:26Speaker 1: you know, whatever they want to develop in the areas
- 17:28Speaker 1: where the homeless are. I mean, it's an issue in
- 17:31Speaker 1: my area and wherever I'm broadcasting from, an issue with that, Amen.
- 17:37Speaker 1: And we need to be a part of the solution,
- 17:40Speaker 1: not just part of the complaining, not just part of
- 17:42Speaker 1: the problem. And that we should be part of the solution, Amen,
- 17:47Speaker 1: even if the local government doesn't want to take our advice.
- 17:51Speaker 1: But we should speak truth, we should speak love, We
- 17:54Speaker 1: should show that we're concerned, that we're available to help. Amen.
- 17:58Speaker 1: So that way without we can't be blamed. The Lord
- 18:02Speaker 1: wants us to be blameless. Amen. And we are blameless
- 18:05Speaker 1: according to the finished work of God and the apply
- 18:07Speaker 1: worker God. We're walking and striving to be blameless in
- 18:11Speaker 1: the eyes of men and the eyes of God. Of course.
- 18:14Speaker 1: So the service that we're doing is just it's just
- 18:17Speaker 1: not our word. It's also an inward service, strengthening, strengthening
- 18:22Speaker 1: the family of God. Amen. If we're not strong in
- 18:26Speaker 1: the faith in our families, it starts in our homes. Right.
- 18:30Speaker 1: If we're not strong as a unit when we go
- 18:32Speaker 1: out there, our weakness is going to be shown to
- 18:34Speaker 1: the world. Amen. If husband and wife are not united
- 18:39Speaker 1: and agreeing on the on the strong principles of our
- 18:44Speaker 1: faith and doing things together on that Amen, it's going
- 18:48Speaker 1: to show up when we go outside of the home.
- 18:51Speaker 1: If the children that are following this is this is
- 18:54Speaker 1: a tough part because the children right now in our times,
- 18:58Speaker 1: they're being driven led social media platforms, the enemy to
- 19:04Speaker 1: their souls right here in their hands. And we got
- 19:07Speaker 1: a lot of work to do as parents, especially nowadays.
- 19:11Speaker 1: And if they're not responding, Amen, as long as they're
- 19:15Speaker 1: in my home, I have little ones, young ones. As
- 19:17Speaker 1: long as they're in our house, they going to church.
- 19:19Speaker 1: They're gonna be around communities of believers. Amen. No one's
- 19:24Speaker 1: forcing them to believe in our God. But they're gonna
- 19:28Speaker 1: be actually exposed to the Christian lifestyle, exposed to the
- 19:34Speaker 1: Word of God, exposed to prayer life, exposed to mourning devotions,
- 19:38Speaker 1: exposed to gospel music, exposed to people who are filled
- 19:41Speaker 1: with Holy Spirit. And then they're gonna be able to
- 19:44Speaker 1: see the real ones, and they're gonna be able to
- 19:46Speaker 1: see the fake ones, and they're gonna know what to do. Amen.
- 19:49Speaker 1: As they get older, and they're gonna have to have
- 19:52Speaker 1: a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus. For themselves. We
- 19:56Speaker 1: could be good examples of how to live a life
- 19:59Speaker 1: filled with Christ, a life a christ like life. We
- 20:03Speaker 1: could be great examples. But ultimately they have to have
- 20:06Speaker 1: an encounter with the Lord. And God is faithful to
- 20:09Speaker 1: his promises. Train up a child in the way they
- 20:11Speaker 1: should go, and when they get older they will not
- 20:13Speaker 1: depart from that. And men the teachings of the Lord,
- 20:16Speaker 1: the prayers that they see. Amen. But we have to
- 20:19Speaker 1: start that from home. And that's an inward that's an
- 20:23Speaker 1: inward act of worship, an inward act of service, right
- 20:31Speaker 1: Hebrews ten twenty four and twenty five. Let us consider
- 20:34Speaker 1: how we may spur one another toward love and good deeds,
- 20:39Speaker 1: not giving up meeting together, but encouraging one another Hebrews ten,
- 20:45Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty five. So if that should be
- 20:48Speaker 1: happening in the Kingdom of God, an inward act of
- 20:51Speaker 1: service encouraging one another. As soon as I see people
- 20:56Speaker 1: like that are Christ followers bickering over things that really
- 20:59Speaker 1: don't matter in my humble opinion, then I'm like, yeah,
- 21:02Speaker 1: we have to we have to fix that. We can't
- 21:05Speaker 1: we can't be shouting, yelling at each other, can't be
- 21:10Speaker 1: pointing fingers and then using scripture to validate our our
- 21:15Speaker 1: error or our misconduct. Right. We have to be able
- 21:19Speaker 1: to be corrected, able to be approached, able to love
- 21:22Speaker 1: one another, able to be heard, able to speak. Amen,
- 21:25Speaker 1: as brothers and sisters in Christ. When you're in a family, right,
- 21:29Speaker 1: there's gonna be some disagreements. But when we go to
- 21:32Speaker 1: the Father, we have the same father. If we if
- 21:35Speaker 1: we have the same father, that means the Father will
- 21:39Speaker 1: decide what's right and what's wrong. His word will align
- 21:42Speaker 1: with our lives. We shoot align our lives with his
- 21:46Speaker 1: word and the inward acts of service. Amen. We shouldn't
- 21:50Speaker 1: be out here acting like the world and cutting each
- 21:54Speaker 1: other off because we don't agree in certain things. That's
- 21:57Speaker 1: worldly and that's not from the spirit of God. According
- 22:00Speaker 1: to the scriptures, we're supposed to spur one another on
- 22:04Speaker 1: toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together,
- 22:08Speaker 1: but encouraging one another. Right. That could be as simple
- 22:12Speaker 1: as praying for someone. Does not over spiritualize everything. Right,
- 22:17Speaker 1: we could just show up and pray for one another,
- 22:20Speaker 1: send somebody uplifting texts or old school, put something in
- 22:25Speaker 1: the mail for somebody if you know their address. Right,
- 22:28Speaker 1: about mentoring a younger believer that's inward acts of service,
- 22:34Speaker 1: about standing along someone in their struggles when they're struggling
- 22:37Speaker 1: and when they need help, right, whatever happens to that.
- 22:41Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people doing that, Amen,
- 22:43Speaker 1: And hopefully I'm part of that that helping someone who's struggling. Amen.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I want, like I said earlier, I don't know the answers.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I can't reach everybody, but maybe you could reach somebody
- 22:55Speaker 1: that I can reach, and I could maybe text you
- 22:58Speaker 1: a call, you say, hey, I have a young lady
- 23:01Speaker 1: that's brought up in x y Z, sister of Christ,
- 23:06Speaker 1: can you help me, you know, with this young lady.
- 23:09Speaker 1: And you know we'll make a way when it seems
- 23:13Speaker 1: to be no way. God always makes a way for us.
- 23:15Speaker 1: So let's be following suit and help people who are
- 23:20Speaker 1: hopeless and show them that there is hope. Amen. And
- 23:25Speaker 1: actually that's happening in Malihih Valley with word on the
- 23:29Speaker 1: way they are. The Ministry is doing four Nights of Hope, Amen,
- 23:37Speaker 1: and Sunday Monday Tuesday today is the fourth night. So
- 23:42Speaker 1: look up the social media Word on the Way Four
- 23:45Speaker 1: Nights of Hope from the Timeless recording because I know
- 23:48Speaker 1: I can't date these because ten years from now it's
- 23:50Speaker 1: not going to be happening. But from the time it's recording,
- 23:53Speaker 1: it's happening, and that's bringing hope to the community. They're
- 23:56Speaker 1: doing access service ladies and gentlemen, and they fill the
- 24:00Speaker 1: inspired by holy ghosts, and it's something to see, it's
- 24:04Speaker 1: something to watch for, something to be mindful that it's
- 24:07Speaker 1: happening in our area. All I'm back from the Eastern
- 24:09Speaker 1: the Leehah Valley, and beyond amazing when you see it
- 24:14Speaker 1: happening in real life and real time. The works of
- 24:17Speaker 1: God that acts, the good deeds, the encouragement, the powerful Word,
- 24:21Speaker 1: the know any thing of God, holy Spirit, fire and man.
- 24:24Speaker 1: When you see it, you start being like, this is
- 24:26Speaker 1: the way things should be. Should be that should be
- 24:29Speaker 1: out with normal supernatural way of living, should be our
- 24:32Speaker 1: way of normal life. A man as a believer sharing
- 24:35Speaker 1: the Gospel with the loss, right, this is never going
- 24:40Speaker 1: to go out of style, sharing the Gospel with the loss.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I was lost once before what about you, Amen? And
- 24:48Speaker 1: I heard the gospel. I resisted, I rejected until I
- 24:52Speaker 1: came to my senses, and I asked God to come
- 24:57Speaker 1: and change my life. Because I heard so much about
- 25:00Speaker 1: this changing life God, this God that could change and
- 25:03Speaker 1: save and rescue and redeem. I said, you know what,
- 25:06Speaker 1: I heard enough of it. I need to see the
- 25:09Speaker 1: acts right now in my life. Amen. And because of
- 25:12Speaker 1: God's grace, he didn't have to. Because of god grace.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Of his grace, he met me where I was. Now
- 25:18Speaker 1: he's taking me to where he is. Shared the Gospel,
- 25:20Speaker 1: one of the greatest acts of service is leading someone
- 25:24Speaker 1: to eternal life in Christ. When we saw that in
- 25:28Speaker 1: real life firsthand, and we saw a soul being saved,
- 25:32Speaker 1: and then I started going to a six pm evangelistic
- 25:37Speaker 1: training in city Limits in Allentown Pastor Jimmy. Amen. I
- 25:43Speaker 1: was like hooked, and I said, when I saw a
- 25:46Speaker 1: soul saved in front of my eyes, that's how the
- 25:49Speaker 1: Lord gave us the ministry called soul winners. Amen. But
- 25:53Speaker 1: I'm out of time. I hope you get what I'm saying.
- 25:56Speaker 1: We'll probably jump into this again this week. Accesser. Amen.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Read James chapter one. We were in verse number twenty seven.
- 26:04Speaker 1: I believe, Amen, and take James Chapter one. Read the
- 26:08Speaker 1: whole chapter for yourself to get the full context. Amen.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Some am out of time, but God bless you. Thank
- 26:12Speaker 1: you so much for hanging out with me for these
