- 0:48Speaker 1: So all of that said, amen, we're gonna talk about
- 0:52Speaker 1: real faith, real faith. There's a faith out there that's phony,
- 0:57Speaker 1: that's really relying on faith and faith. You see that
- 1:02Speaker 1: all over mainstream TV channels and broadcasting and social media
- 1:08Speaker 1: and all that, and they're talking about faith and faith
- 1:11Speaker 1: like if you just believe it, you will receive it.
- 1:14Speaker 1: If you just name it and claim it, you will
- 1:17Speaker 1: get what you name and claim.
- 1:19Speaker 2: That's faith. In faith.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna be talking about real faith, faith in Jesus,
- 1:25Speaker 1: faith in God, faith in things that we know that
- 1:29Speaker 1: are visible but in God's view when He gives us
- 1:32Speaker 1: the sight to see it because of what He proved
- 1:35Speaker 1: in our lives. A man, it becomes real faith, tangible faith,
- 1:39Speaker 1: faith that you could touch to, faith that you could
- 1:42Speaker 1: realize in reality and real time in your life and
- 1:45Speaker 1: in my life. Since the joyne good morning, God, bless you,
- 1:48Speaker 1: welcome back to the morning. Devo's good to see my
- 1:50Speaker 1: sister and my friend. So that's what we're gonna be
- 1:53Speaker 1: our real faith today.
- 1:55Speaker 2: A man.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I don't know no other way other than real faith.
- 1:58Speaker 1: This is a faith walk that I'm on, a faith
- 2:01Speaker 1: walk that you're on. If you believe in trust in
- 2:03Speaker 1: the living, holy, righteous, loving God, through the Lord Jesus,
- 2:07Speaker 1: and what He has done and what he continues to
- 2:08Speaker 1: do in your life and in my life. There's no
- 2:11Speaker 1: explanation for a lot of things that go.
- 2:13Speaker 2: On in life.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Right, We're just gonna rely on the fact that God
- 2:17Speaker 1: is real, that God is faithful, that God has promised
- 2:21Speaker 1: and achieved or fulfilled his promises over your life and
- 2:25Speaker 1: in my life. That's real faith. When you see something
- 2:29Speaker 1: come to pass that God.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Has promised you.
- 2:32Speaker 1: You see something come to pass that a prophet has
- 2:34Speaker 1: prophesied because they were inspired by Holy Spirit God to
- 2:38Speaker 1: prophesy life or to speak something over your life and
- 2:42Speaker 1: it comes to path. Amen, that you're dealing with real faith,
- 2:46Speaker 1: a man, no hocus pocus, no craziness, no hyperbole, no sensationalism,
- 2:54Speaker 1: no hype. Is real faith, real faith, real life life,
- 3:00Speaker 1: real people, real faith, a real God, a real guy
- 3:04Speaker 1: that we could faithfully and put a hope trust.
- 3:08Speaker 2: And faith in Amen, Not faith in faith.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Just want to explain that because a lot of people,
- 3:13Speaker 1: when they hear the word faith, they say, oh, you
- 3:15Speaker 1: believers and you Christians, all you do, all you do
- 3:18Speaker 1: is talking about faith, and you're just hoping for things
- 3:21Speaker 1: to happen, wishing for things to happen.
- 3:24Speaker 2: So it's like wishful thinking. Not over here, Amen, Not.
- 3:27Speaker 1: According to the scriptures, we'd be a Hebrews chapter number
- 3:30Speaker 1: eleven and verse one. Hebrews Chapter eleven, verse number one.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Faith brings certainty and reality to that which is otherwise unknown.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but we're living in the
- 3:44Speaker 1: same world, and that it's uncertain times right now. There's
- 3:48Speaker 1: some things that are happening in politics in the world
- 3:53Speaker 1: and religious viewpoints society, things that are trying to be
- 3:59Speaker 1: normal that should not be normalized. It's happening right now
- 4:03Speaker 1: in our generation, and unless you're asleep every day, you're
- 4:09Speaker 1: not seeing it. But these are uncertain times. But we
- 4:13Speaker 1: have a faith, a real faith that we can be
- 4:18Speaker 1: so focused on and assured and certain that our real
- 4:22Speaker 1: faith is the right faith, and real faith really shows
- 4:26Speaker 1: up in our lives in real time. That's all I'm
- 4:28Speaker 1: saying from now. So we're gonna pray first. After we pray,
- 4:31Speaker 1: we share this out for like sixty seconds. If you
- 4:33Speaker 1: have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, or anything along
- 4:38Speaker 1: those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it on a
- 4:40Speaker 1: live chat. That's what we're here for. That's what we do.
- 4:43Speaker 1: We communicate with one another, help one another, pray for
- 4:46Speaker 1: one another, encourage one another, and ultimately inspire each other
- 4:51Speaker 1: to go into the world of God for ourselves.
- 4:54Speaker 2: And read the Word.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It's coming in time when these scriptures digitally and the
- 5:00Speaker 1: scriptures that we have now, Bibles and everything's going to
- 5:03Speaker 1: be a treasure, because it's a treasure to me already,
- 5:07Speaker 1: but in the near future it's going to be more
- 5:09Speaker 1: of a treasure for people who ignored it, who don't
- 5:12Speaker 1: have it. Now, it's gonna be hard for you to
- 5:15Speaker 1: get it later on. You've got to notice they're trying
- 5:18Speaker 1: to take scriptures and Bible and all of that out
- 5:21Speaker 1: of the marketplace, if you want to call that. They
- 5:26Speaker 1: already took it out of the hotels, they took it
- 5:28Speaker 1: out of schools, trying to take the Bible out for
- 5:31Speaker 1: whatever reason. Right, But God knows, and we said, a
- 5:35Speaker 1: real God who his word was still accomplished what his
- 5:39Speaker 1: word says, it will accomplish in your life and my life.
- 5:43Speaker 2: So try to.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Hide this word in your heart, speak it out of
- 5:46Speaker 1: your mouth, apply what the Word of God says in
- 5:49Speaker 1: your life, and walk in it. Don't just say, oh,
- 5:53Speaker 1: that's for everybody else. No, the word of God is
- 5:55Speaker 1: for you, and the word of God is for me
- 5:57Speaker 1: and for all those who trust in Him, and for
- 5:59Speaker 1: those who don't truyt and put that faith in the
- 6:01Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Now, Amen, now's the time to do that.
- 6:05Speaker 1: If you ever been doing that yesterday, if you're not
- 6:08Speaker 1: thinking about doing it tomorrow, well, today's a new day.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Trust in God, have real faith in the real God.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Amen.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Good morning, brother Frank, Good morning, Brother Sam. You are
- 6:19Speaker 1: the man of God. Love you so much.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Brother.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Bless you for these words of God that you preach
- 6:24Speaker 1: to us. Amen, Praise God. I don't know no other
- 6:27Speaker 1: way but to read the word and apply to work
- 6:32Speaker 1: right to me, this no other way. But thank you
- 6:34Speaker 1: so much for your comment and your encouragement and your blessing.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Bless you too. So let's go for it. Let's pray.
- 6:41Speaker 1: After we pray, Like I said, we'll share this out
- 6:43Speaker 1: sixty seconds, and then when we come back, we'll get
- 6:48Speaker 1: right into our scripture, which is Hebrews chapter eleven, verse
- 6:51Speaker 1: number one, the morning the morning frog tries to hit me.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for today. Thank you for believing
- 7:04Speaker 1: in us so much that you travel on the.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Road to the cross.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I pray Love God that because of that your sacrifice,
- 7:14Speaker 1: I pray that you will continually open our eyes to
- 7:18Speaker 1: the reality of who you are, what you have done,
- 7:19Speaker 1: and what you continue.
- 7:20Speaker 2: To do in our lives.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I pray that Lord God that you would increase our
- 7:25Speaker 1: faith in you, that we would have faith and a living, loving, holy,
- 7:29Speaker 1: righteous God, not faith and the idea, not faith in idols,
- 7:33Speaker 1: not faith and faith, but faith in a living, loving, holy.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Righteous God, which is you.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Thank you for opening up my eyes and opening up
- 7:42Speaker 1: the eyes of so many people that I know that
- 7:45Speaker 1: are born again.
- 7:46Speaker 2: That I say because of what you.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Have proved in each individual life according to your purpose
- 7:53Speaker 1: and plan. I pray I had your protection over myself,
- 7:56Speaker 1: my family, our household, finances, marriage, I love for one another,
- 8:02Speaker 1: our whole entire bloodline on both sides, my wife's side
- 8:05Speaker 1: on my side, our hydro protection, the blood of Jesus.
- 8:09Speaker 2: And I pray forth arkween.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Angels, mister angels, to annihilate that tactics of the enemy
- 8:14Speaker 1: over our lives.
- 8:16Speaker 2: A prayer over every.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Single person that's watching and listening right now, the name
- 8:20Speaker 1: of Jesus. That extend that by faith, knowing that you
- 8:23Speaker 1: are able to hear these prayers and able to perform
- 8:27Speaker 1: your word according to each individual life, that here's your
- 8:31Speaker 1: word and applies your word. Pray it's by faith, knowing
- 8:34Speaker 1: that you are in these morning DeVos. And if it
- 8:37Speaker 1: wasn't for you it won't be worth it.
- 8:39Speaker 2: But because you are with us by way of your
- 8:41Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, by way of.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Your word, it is so worth waking up and doing
- 8:45Speaker 1: these and applying what we learned daily. And Jesus Name,
- 8:50Speaker 1: I prayed this with thanksgiving by faith, and those who
- 8:52Speaker 1: agree we say amen and amen. So listen sixty seconds.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Help me share this out. You know people right now
- 8:59Speaker 1: that are not also media, you could always share the
- 9:01Speaker 1: link live dot sol winners with a z dot org
- 9:05Speaker 1: or simply sole winners with a z dot org.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Send them over there. They could listen.
- 9:11Speaker 1: If they're busy and they can't watch a video, they
- 9:13Speaker 1: could just listen press play while we're live. And if
- 9:17Speaker 1: they don't catch it, they could go to the podcast
- 9:19Speaker 1: on the website. It's called the Blaze Bible Study and
- 9:22Speaker 1: they could just listen to the past episodes there as well.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So thank you so much for helping me share this out,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and let's.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Go for it.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Iberary back, man, man, we're back, so many groups to share.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Please someone develop an app or this app already a
- 11:01Speaker 1: man that when you go live on these social media streets,
- 11:05Speaker 1: that when you go live, it'll shed to all your
- 11:08Speaker 1: groups all in one shot. That'll be amazing. A man,
- 11:11Speaker 1: I'll pay it and I'll subscribe for an app like that.
- 11:13Speaker 1: If somebody knows an app like that, let me know
- 11:15Speaker 1: and I'll check it out and if it works, we
- 11:17Speaker 1: got it.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Amen.
- 11:19Speaker 1: So many people that I have connected with during the
- 11:21Speaker 1: years through social media they allow me, and I thank
- 11:25Speaker 1: them so much for allowing this Morning Devo to go on.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Their pages in front of their group members.
- 11:30Speaker 1: And man, that's a trust issue, right If they then
- 11:33Speaker 1: trust me, they wouldn't put me on their groups, and
- 11:37Speaker 1: vice versa. If I don't trust you, I'm not putting
- 11:39Speaker 1: you in my groups either. It has to be the
- 11:40Speaker 1: word of God. It has to be something that's true
- 11:42Speaker 1: according to the scriptures for me to put something on
- 11:45Speaker 1: my group page as well. So I'm the same way
- 11:48Speaker 1: like a papa bear right. We don't just allow anything
- 11:51Speaker 1: to go off on our social media platforms and through
- 11:54Speaker 1: our connections.
- 11:55Speaker 2: But when you have.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Real faith, there's so much not to worry about, and
- 11:59Speaker 1: there's so much more to be encouraged about, Amen, and
- 12:02Speaker 1: to go forward with. So we're gonna be he was eleven,
- 12:07Speaker 1: Chapter eleven, Verse number one. Amen, I'm getting that ready
- 12:10Speaker 1: for the screen for those who are just listening, no problems,
- 12:12Speaker 1: no worries.
- 12:13Speaker 2: You already know that I put it on that I.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Read a word for word, I should say so that way,
- 12:21Speaker 1: I know how it is when you're just listening to audio.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm biased, I like audio better
- 12:27Speaker 1: than video. That's just my opinion because I believe when
- 12:29Speaker 1: you hear something, you could concentrate.
- 12:31Speaker 2: More on just watching something. Amen. Some people are visual learners. Amen.
- 12:35Speaker 2: I'm a visual learner too.
- 12:36Speaker 1: I like to see things, but when I hear things, Amen,
- 12:40Speaker 1: I close my eyes and I get the picture of
- 12:42Speaker 1: what God is trying to say to my life. When
- 12:45Speaker 1: I read his word, Amen, I listen to his word.
- 12:48Speaker 1: It HiT's different than watching something that's just me. Plus,
- 12:52Speaker 1: I'm always busy, I'm always running around, so I listen
- 12:55Speaker 1: more than what I watch on social media, Amen, and
- 12:58Speaker 1: all these platforms.
- 13:00Speaker 2: So let's go for it. Let's go for it. Here.
- 13:02Speaker 2: It is real faith.
- 13:05Speaker 1: And of course, if you're looking at the image, it's
- 13:08Speaker 1: a Bible that's covered with water. I believe because the
- 13:11Speaker 1: water represents Holy Spirit, the cleansing of the Word over
- 13:14Speaker 1: our lives.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Amen.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Is real When the Word of God is in our lives.
- 13:18Speaker 1: And when we activate our faith in the God of
- 13:23Speaker 1: the word. Amen, let's go for it. Let's read the scripture.
- 13:27Speaker 1: This is the amplified version. So your version might not
- 13:30Speaker 1: have a lot of wording that the amplify has, but
- 13:33Speaker 1: I thought the amplify really captures the idea in a
- 13:38Speaker 1: good way. Now, faith is the assurance, title deed, confirmation
- 13:44Speaker 1: of things hoped for, divinely guaranteed, and the evidence of
- 13:50Speaker 1: things not seen, the conviction of their reality. Faith comprehends
- 13:58Speaker 1: as fat what cannot be experience by the physical senses.
- 14:03Speaker 2: That's so deep right there.
- 14:05Speaker 1: I could stop right now and start preaching, run around
- 14:07Speaker 1: my studio and be like, listen, send me an offering
- 14:10Speaker 1: right now, like man so seed because this proves the
- 14:15Speaker 1: fact a man, and it's worth the day for me.
- 14:20Speaker 1: When you're assured of something, you have a confirmation, you
- 14:23Speaker 1: have a title deed on it. When God speaks a
- 14:26Speaker 1: word over your life and God speaks a word over
- 14:28Speaker 1: my life, my response, I try to have this responsibility.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I believe it it's gonna happen as done.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Right.
- 14:37Speaker 1: But there's so many challenges to that. I don't know
- 14:39Speaker 1: about you, But when I believe in a word, from
- 14:41Speaker 1: God over my life. It seems like automatically challenges come
- 14:46Speaker 1: up in the same day or the same moment, the same.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Situation, a challenge will come up.
- 14:54Speaker 1: But when you have faith and you're assured of that
- 14:57Speaker 1: faith in God, in Christ through His you have confirmation
- 15:02Speaker 1: of things hoped for. I'm a hopeful person. I hope
- 15:05Speaker 1: you're a hopeful person. I hope you're hoping for the
- 15:07Speaker 1: best of your life. I'm hoping for the best of
- 15:09Speaker 1: my life. I'm hoping for the best of my children's life.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I'm hoping for the best of my wife's life. I'm
- 15:13Speaker 1: hoping for the best of my church family. I'm hoping
- 15:16Speaker 1: for the best in business and ministry, and then the
- 15:19Speaker 1: pastors that I know in their ministries and their I'm
- 15:23Speaker 1: hoping for the best for everybody. Right, so of things
- 15:28Speaker 1: hoped for because they're divinely guaranteed it.
- 15:32Speaker 2: It brought something. I had to guarantee on it.
- 15:35Speaker 1: And as soon as I guarantee it's challenged, they act
- 15:39Speaker 1: like their ghosts.
- 15:40Speaker 2: They're like, I don't know, we never.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Guarantee that, and the evidence of things not seeing the
- 15:46Speaker 1: conviction of their reality.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Faith comprehends as.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Fact and you have faith in God, it transforms into fact.
- 15:56Speaker 1: So our faith has facts, is backed by facts one
- 16:00Speaker 1: hundred percent divine guarantees. We have a title D and
- 16:04Speaker 1: it's confirmed. Yeah, you can't figure it out in physical senses.
- 16:09Speaker 1: With physical senses, so faith is unseen. And it makes
- 16:13Speaker 1: sense right because let me ask you a question, when's
- 16:18Speaker 1: the last time you saw God like you saw an
- 16:21Speaker 1: image on the screen, or if you see me on
- 16:23Speaker 1: the screen. Serve an invisible god? People say, how could
- 16:27Speaker 1: you serve a God that you can't see, feel a touch? Oh,
- 16:31Speaker 1: so I have to have my senses too to see
- 16:35Speaker 1: the God that I serve. When that's kind of like
- 16:38Speaker 1: nonsensical or way of thinking, because I don't know anybody
- 16:42Speaker 1: who doesn't dream or have visions.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Amen.
- 16:45Speaker 1: And before they had those dreams of visions, they couldn't
- 16:48Speaker 1: see it. They were shown a vision and they were
- 16:52Speaker 1: dreaming a dream. An air we breathe air every day,
- 16:55Speaker 1: can't see it. Right, we have these thoughts that come
- 17:00Speaker 1: I'm out of the air. We can't see those thoughts
- 17:02Speaker 1: coming before they come into our mind. Of course, there's
- 17:06Speaker 1: a lot of invisible things in this world that we're
- 17:09Speaker 1: living in, right, And not to get too deep. But
- 17:12Speaker 1: they're here right now in my studio. There's invisible things
- 17:15Speaker 1: going on that I don't see. Technology. Right a signal
- 17:20Speaker 1: is being sent to you and you're seeing the image
- 17:23Speaker 1: of the signal right there on the screen, or you're
- 17:25Speaker 1: listening to the audio that's being broadcasted right there on
- 17:29Speaker 1: your mobile device. Do you see everything that happens before
- 17:33Speaker 1: you receive the broadcast, before you receive the audio, before
- 17:37Speaker 1: you receive the video. I'll be honest, and you have
- 17:40Speaker 1: to say no, I don't see it, but I know
- 17:41Speaker 1: it's there because why, there's evidence right in front of you.
- 17:44Speaker 1: There's evidence that's going through ther eargate, this evidence that's
- 17:47Speaker 1: going through your eyegate, and both gates are responding accordingly
- 17:51Speaker 1: to what they're watching or what you're listening to. So
- 17:57Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise me that God remains invisible as more
- 18:02Speaker 1: than a force.
- 18:03Speaker 2: This is not Star Wars. Let the Force be with you.
- 18:06Speaker 2: He's more than a force.
- 18:07Speaker 1: He's almighty God, unseen to the eyes of men, revealing
- 18:12Speaker 1: himself through creation. We could see God through creation. And
- 18:16Speaker 1: I don't have faith in the creation. I have faith
- 18:19Speaker 1: in the Creator. I don't talk to you in the
- 18:21Speaker 1: universe and have faith in universe. I talk to the
- 18:24Speaker 1: God who created all the universes. And when you speak
- 18:27Speaker 1: to the universe, by the way, what universe are you
- 18:30Speaker 1: talking about? Because we can't see all the universes. I
- 18:33Speaker 1: don't care what kind of technology or what kind of
- 18:35Speaker 1: science you're going to try to use to see galaxies
- 18:38Speaker 1: upon galley. We ain't gonna see it all physically. But
- 18:42Speaker 1: people have faith that there's more things out there, right.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I have faith that there's more things out there because
- 18:47Speaker 1: I believe in the create a God who created all
- 18:49Speaker 1: things visible and invisible. Because he's an invisible God who
- 18:54Speaker 1: shows up through his creation, through his.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Word, through other people.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Amen, And he shows up as real faith when He
- 19:03Speaker 1: is the one that we're hoping for, and we're hoping
- 19:06Speaker 1: in and we're trusting in, and we're trusting for there's
- 19:09Speaker 1: no way. I haven't heard of not one believer in
- 19:12Speaker 1: Christ say that God has not shown up in their
- 19:15Speaker 1: situation ever.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Now people are mad.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I'm I'm, you know, administering through a chat service, a
- 19:24Speaker 1: chat ministry that I'm involved with, and one of the
- 19:27Speaker 1: people say that they're mad at God and nice.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Why still didn't get a response yet?
- 19:31Speaker 1: But people get mad at God, the invisible God that
- 19:35Speaker 1: they can't see. But they're trying to put their hope,
- 19:38Speaker 1: faith and trusting. But then life hits and they're wondering
- 19:41Speaker 1: where God?
- 19:42Speaker 2: Where is God?
- 19:43Speaker 1: And then people are ridiculing and asking the same question,
- 19:46Speaker 1: where was your God, Sam, when this happened, that happened,
- 19:50Speaker 1: and the third happened. Man, he's sitting, he's still on
- 19:54Speaker 1: the throne. He still see that on the throne and
- 19:58Speaker 1: can't get that out. Still there always been there. There's
- 20:02Speaker 1: not a day that God has not ever been right.
- 20:06Speaker 1: God is before us, he's in the future, he's present
- 20:09Speaker 1: with us. We have a real faith. At least I
- 20:12Speaker 1: have a real faith.
- 20:13Speaker 2: You know. One of my elders in the.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Faith, she lasts at me and she goes, I love you, Sam,
- 20:19Speaker 1: because you just have faith.
- 20:20Speaker 2: You just believe. Amen.
- 20:23Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I do believe because something amazing
- 20:27Speaker 1: happened in my own life personally, way back in two
- 20:30Speaker 1: thousand and one. God, this guy that I had no
- 20:34Speaker 1: faith in, that trusting I didn't believe in, I called
- 20:37Speaker 1: on him and guess what he responded? Blew my mind responded,
- 20:42Speaker 1: and I asked him to do something in my life.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I don't know how you got into a relationship with God.
- 20:47Speaker 1: If you have a relationship with God, I don't know
- 20:49Speaker 1: what happened. I don't know your testament. Won't even want
- 20:51Speaker 1: to share it one day on the radio or on
- 20:54Speaker 1: the network, on the podcast let me know. But when
- 20:58Speaker 1: I called onto God, I was drunk and high. I
- 21:00Speaker 1: was out of my mind. And then I called out
- 21:02Speaker 1: to him and he responded, and I asked him to
- 21:06Speaker 1: do something and he did it. That's why I have
- 21:09Speaker 1: this real faith in God that I'm like, wait time out.
- 21:13Speaker 1: If he did that for me, who am mine to
- 21:16Speaker 1: say that he can't do that in somebody else's life.
- 21:20Speaker 1: So I've been on a journey for years and years
- 21:24Speaker 1: and years trying to tell people, listen, trust in God.
- 21:28Speaker 1: If he's not real, then he won't respond to your
- 21:32Speaker 1: need to to.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Your request for life in a new life.
- 21:39Speaker 1: He won't respond, right, He'll just be part of your imagination,
- 21:43Speaker 1: part of my imagination. But what you're gonna do when
- 21:46Speaker 1: he does respond. That's why I was in two thousand
- 21:50Speaker 1: and mile saying, wait, this guy responded to me after
- 21:54Speaker 1: I practically cursed him out all my life, and he
- 21:58Speaker 1: responds to me and I knew for a fact there
- 22:02Speaker 1: was nothing special about me until He came into my
- 22:06Speaker 1: heart and life and transformed my life. Then there was
- 22:09Speaker 1: a whole lot special about me because now I had
- 22:12Speaker 1: God living inside me in a form of Holy Spirit.
- 22:16Speaker 2: And from then on.
- 22:17Speaker 1: People could tell you never turn back. Nothing to turn
- 22:20Speaker 1: back too.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Amen. Do I struggle? Of course? Everybody struggles like to
- 22:26Speaker 2: be up here. So I have God. Now I have
- 22:28Speaker 2: real faith, and I never struggle in my life. I'm
- 22:30Speaker 2: not gonna lie to you. That's part of it. I'm
- 22:32Speaker 2: breaking the commandment, you know if I lie.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Listen, we have the commandment of Jesus right to love
- 22:41Speaker 1: God with everything we have. That's real faith, and to
- 22:44Speaker 1: love others as you love yourself.
- 22:47Speaker 2: That takes faith. Amen.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Let's go for it. Let's have real faith in God.
- 22:53Speaker 1: He was shopped eleven. Of course we know it as
- 22:56Speaker 1: the whole of Faith chapter.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Amen.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And in that chapter is a whole lot of faith
- 23:02Speaker 1: talk going on, an explanation of definition of faith, a man,
- 23:06Speaker 1: people of faith all through the scriptures were mentioned. And
- 23:10Speaker 1: God uses that chapter in my life so many times
- 23:14Speaker 1: when I'm trying to figure things out on this side
- 23:17Speaker 1: of eternity.
- 23:18Speaker 2: And I'm like, man, how am I going to do this?
- 23:21Speaker 2: Or how is this gonna happen?
- 23:22Speaker 1: Faith, real faith, and a real God who responds, is
- 23:28Speaker 1: available to all those who are willing listen to what
- 23:33Speaker 1: he's going to speak back to us, willing to trust
- 23:36Speaker 1: in him, but a hope in him and for life,
- 23:40Speaker 1: for life, not just oh, I got to get out
- 23:42Speaker 1: of this God. If you get me out of this,
- 23:43Speaker 1: I'll go to church next week, then I'll stop going.
- 23:47Speaker 1: But none of that, even though I've heard testimonies and
- 23:50Speaker 1: people says they were on their deathbed coming out of
- 23:53Speaker 1: an ambulance and all the way to be operating on
- 23:56Speaker 1: and they're in their conscience because they couldn't speak. They
- 23:59Speaker 1: were asking God, if you get me out of this,
- 24:02Speaker 1: I'm going to serve you. And yeah, God got them out.
- 24:04Speaker 1: They served for a little bit, and as soon as
- 24:07Speaker 1: they got well and got back on their own two feet,
- 24:10Speaker 1: they left, the faith, left, the church, left God. I've
- 24:13Speaker 1: heard testimonies like that, but they're rough testimonies because at
- 24:18Speaker 1: the other end of that they start testifying of how
- 24:21Speaker 1: they lost this and they lost that. They were dealing
- 24:24Speaker 1: with worse issues now, and we invite the people back,
- 24:29Speaker 1: I said, Okay, ask God to forgive you for that.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Come on back to the land of the Living. Come
- 24:35Speaker 1: back to the Kingdom of God. Come back to where
- 24:37Speaker 1: there's real faith, real life, real hope, real love. Come
- 24:40Speaker 1: back over here, hey man, and God will open his arms.
- 24:45Speaker 1: He's done it to so many people that I know,
- 24:47Speaker 1: and welcome them back. Welcome back home to the family
- 24:50Speaker 1: of God. Amen, and trust God and put your whole
- 24:54Speaker 1: faith and trust in him. It's a real faith. It's
- 24:56Speaker 1: not a phony faith, not a made of faith. It's
- 24:58Speaker 1: real when you put your faith, hope and trust in Him.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Good morning is just a joice I see you. Good morning, God,
- 25:03Speaker 1: bless you. Welcome back to the morning Devo. When I'm
- 25:06Speaker 1: running out of time here, Amen, I just want to
- 25:10Speaker 1: really encourage you to take Hebrews Old chapter. We're a
- 25:15Speaker 1: chapter number one. Read it for yourself, and we were
- 25:18Speaker 1: in verse number one. I just wanted to show you
- 25:20Speaker 1: that we have a real God that we can have real,
- 25:24Speaker 1: true faith in, and He will respond in our situation
- 25:28Speaker 1: in our life with comfort love. He will just show
- 25:32Speaker 1: up when we think that no one else is going
- 25:34Speaker 1: to be able to help us or save us. He's
- 25:36Speaker 1: able and he's available. Have faith in him because he's God.
- 25:40Speaker 1: He's real, so we should have a real faith in him.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:44Speaker 1: And put our whole faith in trust in him Jesus
- 25:46Speaker 1: the Lord the Christ.
