Unattractive Life [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

0:03
Good morning, family, God, welcome back to the Morning Devo. Is
0:05
your bro Sam Lopez? What is that? Is that a screen? It's
0:18
crazy. Let's see my other cameras showing here on the screen. So I'm
0:28
gonna have to move this a little bit over here. Get it outside the
0:33
camera, ay man, because I want to do something special today. I'm
0:36
going to be reading out of the Bible, Bible, so I want to
0:39
put the cam on the Bible a man, because there's a lot I'm going
0:43
to read today. My name is Sam Lopez ak DJ Sam Rock and you're
0:47
watching or listening to the Morning Devo right now. I try to do these
0:51
Mondays through Fridays five thirty am Eastern Standard time. Amen. And today I
0:57
think it's important for us to read this whole chapter because I was trying to
1:02
get a little clip out of this chapter, but I was like, nah,
1:03
let me, let me read the whole chapter to get the whole idea
1:07
in front of you, amen, and in front of us and inside of
1:11
us. Because this is something that I believe during these summer months, a
1:15
lot of people are going to be experiencing this unattractive life. I'm calling this
1:21
unattractive life and there's a lot here, Amen, there's a lot here unattractive
1:29
life. We're gonna be in a book of Genesis chapter nine, Genesis chapter
1:33
nine. And let me get this ready here so that way I could read
1:37
the notes as well, and hope this works out because I just changed my
1:42
camera shot on the other camera. But it should work, Amen. I
1:47
tried it out last night and it seemed like it was working. So you
1:52
know, hopefully you know when you're live, things change, but you already
1:56
know. I see your sister join it. Good morning, God bless you,
1:57
welcome back to the morning. Can to see my system, my friend.
2:01
Let me get my notes in front of me so that way I don't
2:05
miss this all up with what I'm trying to say here, So unattractive life
2:10
and has nothing to do with your appearance. And then when I say unattractive,
2:15
people say, oh, well you look in the mirror and you're unattractive.
2:19
Now not necessarily that could be part of it, but it's not where
2:23
I'm going, and it's not where God has taken us. Amen. Everything
2:27
and everyone that got created is beautiful, wonderfully made. He created us for
2:31
a purpose and a plan, and in his eyes, we're all a beautiful
2:38
thing. We're attractive, but undera attractive life, notable associations notable. These
2:43
things are associated with drunkenness, and that leads to further sin, and it's
2:50
unattractive. Sin is horrible. Sin is what separates us from a holy God.
2:54
It'll be a Genesis Chapter nine. I'm calling this one unattractive life states.
3:00
Hold on, I'm going to explain that, but we're going to read
3:02
it before I explain it, Amen, and then we're going to go through
3:07
it. There's so many I never knew how many verses they were that were
3:10
associated with drunkenness in the scriptures. Amen. And I don't even think I
3:15
searched them all out, but there's a lot there, and there's too many
3:20
for morning devo. So this is going to have to turn into either I'm
3:23
going to write a book about it, or I'm going to have to do
3:27
the Blaze Bible Study, which is a longer version of a Bible study that
3:30
I do periodically on the network. Amen. So let's go for it.
3:35
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
3:38
don't have to take to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're
3:42
here for Amen, and that's what we that's how we communicate with each other.
3:46
We do the live chat. Also, I'm available right now on YouTube.
3:51
The name of the YouTube channels DJ sam Rock. We stream alive day
3:54
as well as social media platforms that allow us stream to go through. And
3:59
also someone is with a Z that RG, which is the celeut radio network
4:02
that Lee have Valley's number one urban gospel music station online since two thousand and
4:08
eight. And that's always the go to website. Amen, that's our hub,
4:13
that's our main page. Amen, right then and there, So let's
4:15
go for it. Let's go for it. Like I said, any questions,
4:18
comments, concerns on any prayer requests anytime during the morning devo, even
4:23
if I'm not live. By the time you're watching this, something comes to
4:27
your heart, something comes to your mind. Leaving on a live chat,
4:29
Amen, I'll get back to you as soon as possible, and that includes
4:31
the podcast. There's a live chat podcast on the podcast as well live chat
4:36
section. So let's pray first. After we pray, we'll share this out
4:40
for like sixty seconds, and then when we come back, we'll get right
4:43
into Genesis nine. I want to literally read the whole chapter. Amen,
4:46
there's a lot there. Well, I think we could do it. I
4:49
think we have enough time to do that. You ready, Father God,
4:51
to thank you, little God, that we are all attractive. We are
4:55
all made by your wonderful hand. Your word says that in the wounds of
5:00
our mother and the womb of our mothers, we were being formed in fashioned
5:03
by your hands. Thank you, Lo God, for doing that. Thank
5:06
you for touching us. Whether or not we believe or not, you have
5:11
believed in us before we were even existing, before we were even born.
5:16
You positioned us and purposed us, and have us all planned out for a
5:21
purpose that is beautiful and attractive. But, Lo God, I come against
5:26
the unattractiveness of this world, the unattractiveness of a drunken life, the unattractness
5:30
of addiction, the unattractiveness of all that that happens in life that causes us
5:35
to stray from your purpose and your plan. Let that not be us,
5:40
Low God. But if it is, and if we're in that scenario and
5:43
we're that area, Low God, I know, Lord Jesus, that we
5:46
could call upon your name and you will rescue us, save us, and
5:49
you will restore us and take us from the darkness and put us into your
5:53
marvelous light. Thank you for the power of love, grace, mercy.
5:57
Thank you, Lo God for guiding, guarding and protecting us. I pray
6:00
I had your protection over myself, my wife, our children, our household,
6:03
a studio, every place where we go. Lo God, that you
6:05
will set forth arkwen angels and ministering angels to God and protect us. And
6:11
I pray that over every single family member represented on the other side of the
6:14
screen and on the other side of this mic, that they would low God
6:17
be receiving from you Holy spirit. God, that you will move in their
6:21
hearts and minds as well. And Lo God, that you would teach us
6:25
today as you can only teach because you are the chief Rabbi. You are
6:29
the awesome teacher. You're an amazing God. And I thank you for your
6:31
love. And thank you, Lo God for your eternal life that you have
6:34
promised us. I pray Lord God that as we move through this chapter,
6:39
that you would show us clearly what's going on here and what we could apply
6:43
today in our lives. And Jesus name, my prayer is by favor,
6:46
and those who agree we say Amen and Amen. We're going for it today.
6:50
Help me share this out sixty seconds. When we come back, will
6:54
be going into Genesis chapter number nine right here on today's morning debo. Let
6:59
me quickly before I switched the screen to the timer, let me let the
7:03
group know that I'm here. I always forget to do that, and the
7:06
group needs to know that we're live as well. Right the Blaze Boba Studies
7:10
group. So if you're not on that group, it's a private group.
7:13
I privatize it just for privacy reasons, Amen, to protect your privacy and
7:19
to make sure I'm respecting your comments and concerns that you place on that page.
7:24
A man, So I'll be right back. Give me sixty seconds and
7:27
we'll jump right into Genesis chapter nine. I'm calling this one unattractive life.
7:31
Bear with me, trust me, this is gonna be a good one.
7:33
I'll be right back. Heymen, Amen, we're back. I was looking
9:05
at and I didn't want to click back to my camera. I think it's
9:09
because it knows I have two cameras connected now and it's gonna try some weird
9:13
stuff on me. But a man will to take this on the screen for
9:16
us to all see what's going on. In the scriptures as I'm reading a
9:20
word for word, line for line, Amen, out of the Bible,
9:24
the written Bible, not a It's not a digital like I always put on
9:28
the screen today, because I think there was so much that I just wanted
9:31
to read through it and man and try to take my time and let let
9:35
us dive into it fully so that way we can know the whole idea behind
9:39
It's unattractive life. Because I looked at the title and I was like,
9:43
if I just say that and read one scripture, I take a lot of
9:46
people get thrown off what he's saying. I'm ugly, what are you saying,
9:48
I'm unattractive. I'm not saying that to anyone, to myself or to
9:52
anyone. I'm just gonna read what the scripture says in Genesis chapter nine,
9:56
and it's about a famous person that we know we His name is Noah Amen.
10:01
And Noah was prompted by God was asked by God to do something Amen,
10:07
to build an arc. He didn't know why he was building. He
10:11
just knew that God told him to build it. God gave him the dimensions.
10:13
God gave him the idea, the concept. He gave him the tools,
10:18
and everything that he needed that was necessary to do what he needed to
10:20
do to build this arc. But in chapter nine something happened. Amen.
10:26
Remember God, anyway, we'll see. We'll see in the scriptures God found
10:31
favor with or granted favor or gave. Let me just read it because there's
10:41
a lot here. So let's go Genesis chapter nine. This one's called Unattractive
10:43
life. Amen, and bear with me. I want to see if this
10:48
is going to work. Amen. See that little space there that gat That's
10:52
why I want to put the cam. So bear with me. Let me
10:56
see going here. I think I put it here ready, So there we
11:09
go. All right, So there's the second camera that I was talking about.
11:13
Amen. Hopefully you can see this. Amen. I know it's a
11:16
little far away, but let's do it. Let's do it. Genesis chapter
11:22
nine. I think I'm all always zoomed in, so apologies, I can't.
11:31
I don't notice, so I have my glasses on. Sometimes that makes
11:35
it worse when I'm reading these small letters. Genesis chapter nine. So God
11:37
blessed Noah and his sons and said to them be fruitful and multiply. That's
11:43
something he told Adam and Eve. Right, Remember that He told Adam and
11:48
Eve be fruitful and multiply. And he's the same guy yesterday, today,
11:50
and forever more. And he's telling Noah to be fruitful and multiply and fill
11:56
the earth. And the fear of you, you and the dread of you
12:01
shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air,
12:07
on all that move on the earth, and all the fish of the
12:11
sea. They are given into your hand. Every moving thing that lives shall
12:18
be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the
12:22
green herbs. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is
12:28
its blood. Surely, for your life blood, I will demand a reckoning.
12:33
From the hand of every beast, I will require it, and from
12:37
the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother, I will
12:41
require the life of man. That's deep there, I'm gonna keep on going.
12:46
Hey, man, I know that's deep. You have to study that
12:48
out. I'm trying to get to the point here. Whoever sheds man's blood,
12:54
We're in verse number six. Whoever sheds man's blood by man, and
13:00
his blood shall be shed for in the image of God he made man.
13:05
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, He says it again,
13:09
bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it. So we were
13:15
called to multiply, right, or Noah is being told. Noah and his
13:20
sons are supposed to multiply, advance, right, supposed to bring things and
13:26
expand things. Verse number eight. Then God spoke to Noah and to his
13:31
sons with him, saying, and as for me, behold, I establish
13:37
my covenant that the promise with you, and with your descendants after you,
13:43
and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle,
13:48
and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out
13:52
of the ark, go out of the ark. You see that every beast
13:56
of the earth that go out of the ark, every eat of the earth.
14:01
Thus I establish my covenant a promise with you. Never again shall all
14:07
flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood. Never again shall there
14:13
be a flood to destroy the earth. That's a promise from God. He's
14:16
not going to destroy the earth anymore. Amen, with water. He did
14:22
it once. He said he's not going to do it again. And that's
14:26
where the promised rainbow comes into action. Right. And God said, this
14:33
is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every
14:37
living creature that is with you for perpetual generations. I set my rainbow,
14:46
God said, I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be
14:50
for the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. See that very
14:56
clear. I know we make stuff up about the scripture, but God is
15:01
clear about the scripture. Amen, he knows what he's talking about me and
15:07
the earth. It shall be when I bring a cloud over the earth,
15:13
that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud. God does that. When
15:18
we see the rainbow, praise the Lord, me and you and every living
15:26
creature of all flesh. The water shall never again become a flood to destroy
15:31
all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look
15:37
on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all
15:43
flesh that is on the earth. And God said to Noah, this is
15:46
the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that
15:54
is on the earth. So we have the promise of the reminder and the
16:00
of the rainbow. Like I can't make this up. And you already know
16:07
what the world is saying the rainbow represents Noah and his sons. Now the
16:12
sons of Noah who went out of the ark with shem, Ham and Jpeth,
16:18
and Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of
16:23
Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. So that answers the
16:30
question. A lot of people ask, how are the already people here in
16:33
the Book of Genesis. That's because the Genesis, the Book of Genesis was
16:37
the story of the beginning of the creation. But it's not necessarily the first
16:41
book, the oldest book in the Bible. Some theologians say the oldest book
16:45
in the Bible is job. Okay, so there's already people here when that
16:48
book was released, okay. Verse twenty and Noah began to be a farmer,
16:53
and he planted a vineyard. Then he drank of the wine and was
16:59
drunk. The same Noah that God promised all of this, The same Noah
17:03
that God blessed, The same Noah that God knew that he was going to
17:07
be faithful to him. This same Noah began to be a farmer and he
17:11
planted a vineyard. I believe we could see this. Let me see something
17:15
real quick, Yeah, we see it. He planted a vineyard, and
17:22
he planted the vineyard. Then he drank of the wine and was drunk and
17:26
became uncovered in his tent. In other words, he was naked, so
17:30
he drank, so he was drunk and he got naked. I was sharing
17:34
the other day that that happened to me, and man, I didn't know
17:37
this scripture. And then I was in the world that happened to me.
17:41
I drank so much that for whatever reason, he got naked in the bathroom,
17:45
and I didn't know what I was doing. Uh. So that's how
17:48
drunk I was. And it seems like Noah was that drunk. And Ham
17:53
the father of Canaan. One of his sons saw the nakedness of his father
17:57
and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and jp F took a garment,
18:06
laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness
18:10
of their father. They didn't even want to look at them, so they
18:12
walked in backwards, you know, out of respect. They were like,
18:15
this is weird. Dad is drunk. I'm gonna walking backwards. We're gonna
18:18
cover him. Their faces were turned away and they did not see their father's
18:22
neckedness. So Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had
18:30
done to him. Then he said, kurse b Canaan, a servant of
18:33
servants, he shall be to his brethren. He was mad. I don't
18:38
know why they were doing a good thing for him. He was mad.
18:42
But that's what happens. You become unattractive, you become drunk, and then
18:48
your drunkenness, you wake up angry, you wake up hungover, you wake
18:51
up with like like a disgust in your in your in your mind or whatever.
18:55
And he said, blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem,
18:59
and make Canaan be his servant. May God in large jpf and be and
19:03
may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.
19:07
And Noah check this out out. And God says this for a reason.
19:12
And Noah, where's where's the where my here? And Noah number ten,
19:21
that's how gonna goud make sure I'm seeing everything here see that, Uh
19:27
there goes And Noah there goes. Lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
19:37
years three hundred and fifty years old. He was so all the days of
19:41
Noah were nine hundred and fifty years and he died. Noah lived nine hundred
19:48
and fifty years. But this episode of him being drunk and cursing one of
19:52
his sons and the other two he blessed was based on his drunkenness. Why
19:56
did it? I guess he was wondering why and his other son go in
20:02
to cover him with the garments. I think it's because he didn't realize that
20:06
that son, Sham, Ham and Jabev, these three sons of Noah,
20:11
one of them said, listen to the other ones. Dad is drunk.
20:15
He's in a tent. Sham and Jbev took a garment. So Ham saw
20:22
right, and Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the negatives of the
20:26
father, and he told his two brothers. So basically he should have been
20:30
blessed too. But because of Noah's drunkenness and him being in a place of
20:37
I don't know what you want to call it, a place of I don't
20:41
know what's the word for it, he was unattractive. He was being in
20:48
that place of drunkenness and not recognizing that his sons loved him, not recognizing
20:53
that he was in a good place where his sons respected him so much that
20:59
they didn't want to look at him in that situation. They didn't want to
21:02
look at him that way a man. And because he didn't see I guess
21:06
his other sons or his other son. He cursed the one that he didn't
21:11
see when when they gave him the garments, and he blessed the other two.
21:15
That's unattractive. Amen, that's not right, it's not And God gave
21:21
Noah all this favor man, and God blessed Noah and his situation. And
21:26
yet he became a farmer, He became something that he thought he had to
21:30
be to do what he had to do. But somehow, some way,
21:34
his drunkenness messed things up. But God still, through his grace, allowed
21:40
him to live. But I said, nine hundred and fifty years, some
21:42
incredible thing like that a man, and he lived through the flood. And
21:48
he lived because God told him to live. He had dominion over the every
21:52
living creature, every crawling creature. A man. He was told what to
21:56
eat, what not to eat. He was blessed with sons a man and
21:59
his us had wives. This is an amazing story. I know, it's
22:03
a lot for more in Devo. But I just wanted to show you that
22:06
that's unattractive, that life is unattractive. At that point, he was gone.
22:11
He was not thinking straight a man, and because he wasn't thinking straight,
22:17
he literally cursed one of his sons. And I know, I noticed
22:21
people out here out there that probably station right where they were fine with their
22:27
dad or their parents, and they were blessed by their parents, and all
22:32
of a sudden, one or both of their parents started to get into this
22:36
drunken lifestyle and started living in a certain way that wasn't pleasing to God.
22:40
And for whatever reason, now they're kind of like cursing one of their children
22:45
or their sons or their daughters, whatever, because of their drunkenness. A
22:49
man, there's negative effects from drunkenness, and that's evident. We see that
22:53
in chapter nine of Genesis. I wanted to show the whole thing because I
22:57
want you to show you that God bless them. Then God gave him a
23:00
covenant of promise amen, and him and his sons were promised, and they
23:04
were told to multiply subdued, they were told to expand they were told to
23:08
do some good things. And then God said, I'm going to put my
23:12
covenant assigned the rainbow in the cloud to remind you and the earth won't be
23:18
flooding anymore. A man that's been between the promise of God and the earth,
23:23
and he still shows up this rainbow. To this very day, we
23:26
see rainbows and that's the remind of what happened because of Noah. Noah and
23:33
God. God's covenant to Noah. Amen is reminding the earth that no,
23:38
I'm not going to flood you. God's coming back with fire. By the
23:41
way, He's not going to flood the earth anymore. So when you see
23:44
these floods happening all throughout the earth, Amen, I know they're horrible.
23:48
I know people lose lives and all that happens. I'm not downplaying it.
23:52
It's horrible. But God's not going to flood the earth again. He's not.
23:56
He promised. That's his covenant. We see all through that, all
24:00
through that where we read the negative effects of a drunken life. He's drank
24:06
wine. He got so drunk he got naked, and his son saw it,
24:10
told his two brother brothers and other brothers came. His two brothers came
24:15
with garments to clothe his dad. But they walked them backwards. They didn't
24:18
want to lay their eyes on him because he was that drunk, he was
24:22
in that unattractive life. He was unattractive that at that point. And that
24:26
was their own dad, that was their own dad. And I know,
24:29
like I said, I just feel and I know that this people right now
24:32
struggling with this situation, maybe with their dad, maybe with their mom,
24:34
with with their parents, maybe them themselves are struggling this area of drunkenness,
24:38
and they don't think there's a way out. There is a way out.
24:41
There's a promise of God a man that you could hold on to for you,
24:45
for you personally. In the scripture, hold on to the word.
24:48
Maybe you could use that rainbow as a sign of God's promise to the earth
24:52
that's coming into the earth, between God and the earth. But you could
24:56
look at it and say, if God promised and made a covenant with Noah
25:00
and Noah would get drunk, right, and he was in that drunken state,
25:03
and yet Noah lived all those years afterwards, right, Because that's the
25:07
grace of God. It's not the it's not the it's not the what the
25:12
wrath of God. Like people say, oh, the old Covenant is only
25:15
about the wrath of God. The new covenants the grace of God knows not.
25:18
It's the same God, yesterday, today, forevermore. Amen. So
25:22
that association with drunkenness leads to an unattractive life, and that unattractiveness leads to
25:30
further sin. So we saw it. There's exposure a man when you are
25:36
drunk, exposure, nakedness. Amen. I'm not gonna go through the scriptures,
25:41
but I'm gonna just show you the categories. There's a lot of scriptures.
25:45
Staggering. When you're drunk, you start staggering right, you're not even
25:48
walking straight. That's why when you're stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and the police
25:56
think you're, you know, swerving too much on the road, they'll tell
25:57
you to come out and flash a light on you because usually that is in
26:02
the evening. Usually it's in the evening, and ask you to walk.
26:04
If you can't walk, if you're staggering, that's an indicator that you're drunk.
26:08
About this poverty, drowsiness. Amen, you're not even all there.
26:15
You're not even all there, and I'm out of time. I can't believe
26:18
it. So there's a lot more here we saw that it ruins things,
26:25
ruins relationships, Amen. Between Noah and one of his sons, he blessed
26:30
the other two and they curse the one though actually the one who actually told
26:34
the brothers that, hey, dad is in a tent, drunk and naked,
26:38
so it's crazy. A man is a lot more here. But I
26:42
know I knew that was gonna happen around the time because I read the whole
26:45
thing. But Genesis chapter nine, we read it. You could read it
26:48
again. Amen. If you have any questions, comments, concerns about this,
26:52
don't hesitate to leaving on a life chat later on. Amen, So
26:55
I'm out of here. Thank you so much for giving me your time and
26:57
being patient with me as I used the cam for the Bible. Amen.
27:00
Thank you so much for hanging out with me for these morning DeVos. God
27:03
bless you, God keep you, and remember always that God is good. Please,
