- 2:39Speaker 2: on the morning Devo. What other better time do we
- 2:43Speaker 2: have than the time that we get to spend together
- 2:45Speaker 2: in God's word, first thing in the morning, right when
- 2:49Speaker 2: we wake up open our eyes. We know that there's
- 2:51Speaker 2: a new day ahead of us that might not be
- 2:53Speaker 2: the best from yesterday, but today's a new day. And
- 2:58Speaker 2: God could do something that will chanck hinge your whole perspective,
- 3:03Speaker 2: change your whole destiny, change your whole direction, change your
- 3:06Speaker 2: whole life, transform your mind. We knew your heart. Amen.
- 3:10Speaker 2: He can do it in a split second. How through
- 3:14Speaker 2: his word?
- 3:15Speaker 3: Why?
- 3:15Speaker 2: Because he loves us and an authority that he has. Amen.
- 3:20Speaker 2: What he says goes Amen, And what we say okay,
- 3:25Speaker 2: as long as we line it up with what he
- 3:27Speaker 2: said and his word, Amen, or we're unstoppable. Amen. I
- 3:31Speaker 2: know a lot of people don't believe in the Lord.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I know a lot of people don't believe in God,
- 3:36Speaker 2: and they try to do things on their own and
- 3:38Speaker 2: their own way. But let's stop stop short changing ourselves.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Let's make sure that we're getting in the word and
- 3:46Speaker 2: applying what we learn, applying what we know, applying what
- 3:49Speaker 2: we say, applying what we hear from the Word of God. Amen,
- 3:53Speaker 2: and allow Holy Spirit of God to move us in
- 3:55Speaker 2: the right direction today. I've called it this one living life. Now.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I know that's a good title, and I know that's
- 4:04Speaker 2: what's up, because who doesn't want to live a winning life?
- 4:08Speaker 2: When win win, right, we want to win souls to Christ.
- 4:11Speaker 2: We want to win the day. We want to win
- 4:13Speaker 2: in Christ, and man, we always win in Christ. That's
- 4:16Speaker 2: number one. Number two is that when you win, you
- 4:19Speaker 2: feel like confident, more confident than you did yesterday. If
- 4:23Speaker 2: you lost something, if you know, if you lost a battle,
- 4:26Speaker 2: if you lost a loved one or anything, you know,
- 4:29Speaker 2: how lost feels. It hurts. But when you win, win
- 4:32Speaker 2: a soul to Christ, right, when you win a battle
- 4:35Speaker 2: with some kind of disease or some kind of cancer,
- 4:38Speaker 2: and when you win, you get confidence and you know
- 4:41Speaker 2: that you're here for a purpose and a plan and
- 4:44Speaker 2: now you could go help somebody else that you might
- 4:46Speaker 2: not have thought in your whole entire life that you
- 4:49Speaker 2: could go help. Now you can testify of God's faithfulness,
- 4:52Speaker 2: is goodness, is grace, his mercy, his love over our
- 4:55Speaker 2: lives and for other lives. Right, living a win life?
- 5:00Speaker 2: How to work and win others over to Christ. And
- 5:03Speaker 2: when I say work, I mean work with your hands
- 5:06Speaker 2: like work toil, right, you know, sweat work, do something, Amen,
- 5:12Speaker 2: for the glory of God. Work out your own salvation
- 5:16Speaker 2: with fear and trembling. The word says, Amen. So we're
- 5:20Speaker 2: work mode. Even if you're unemployed. Right now, you're still working.
- 5:25Speaker 2: You're in a field.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Right.
- 5:27Speaker 2: You're a farmer. You're a fisher of men. You're a
- 5:30Speaker 2: farmer with seeds of eternal life that you're planting all
- 5:33Speaker 2: over everywhere you go. Amen. So let's work. Let's work
- 5:37Speaker 2: the word of God, so that way we can see
- 5:39Speaker 2: the Word of God work for and through us. Amen,
- 5:42Speaker 2: living a winning life today in the morning, devote you'd
- 5:46Speaker 2: be in first Thessalonian chapter number four, first Desalonian chapter
- 5:50Speaker 2: number four Versus eleven and twelve. That word is good.
- 5:55Speaker 2: God's word is good all the time, always relevant, always
- 5:58Speaker 2: able to circumstances and to change lives, to transform a
- 6:03Speaker 2: way of thinking. A man and renew and restore and
- 6:05Speaker 2: redeem the time that we might have lost because of
- 6:09Speaker 2: our own decisions that got us to a position where
- 6:13Speaker 2: we were like, how do we get here? Amen? Now,
- 6:15Speaker 2: God that believes us. If you're born again, let me
- 6:18Speaker 2: remind you that God doesn't leave you. You're born again.
- 6:21Speaker 2: You have Holy Spirit God living inside of you, and
- 6:24Speaker 2: I know I hear it all the time. Well, the
- 6:27Speaker 2: only reason why you got to that place where you
- 6:30Speaker 2: feel like you're lost because you don't have you have
- 6:32Speaker 2: to get closer to God. Listen, getting closer to God
- 6:37Speaker 2: in the tight situation. That's a rap song, right, But
- 6:42Speaker 2: you can't get any closer. God is living inside of
- 6:45Speaker 2: you and me if we are born again, if he
- 6:48Speaker 2: trusted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, his spirit
- 6:51Speaker 2: lives inside of you. Can't get any closer to God
- 6:54Speaker 2: than that. What's happening is you're not applying what you know,
- 6:58Speaker 2: and you're not allowing or maybe I'm allow me, God
- 7:01Speaker 2: to work in all the areas of your heart, all
- 7:03Speaker 2: the areas of your life, all the areas of your mind.
- 7:06Speaker 2: A man, you're not allowing him to move you into
- 7:09Speaker 2: the position that he already says you're at, and what
- 7:12Speaker 2: position is that, Sam, We're already see that in heavenly places,
- 7:16Speaker 2: the Word says. But in the meantime, while we're here
- 7:19Speaker 2: on this planet earth, a man on we are to
- 7:22Speaker 2: do some work for the Kingdom of God. Speak the word,
- 7:26Speaker 2: speak life, don't speak death. Pray and keep praying. The
- 7:30Speaker 2: Bible says, pray without ceasing. A man lay hands on
- 7:34Speaker 2: a sick and what they shall recover by the power
- 7:37Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. Let's just trust the word. Let's live the word,
- 7:41Speaker 2: and let's live a win in life. How to work
- 7:43Speaker 2: and win others over to Christ. So let's pray first.
- 7:47Speaker 2: After we pray, we'll share us out for like sixty seconds,
- 7:50Speaker 2: help a brother share this out to as many people
- 7:52Speaker 2: as possible. And then after we do that, we'll share
- 7:56Speaker 2: this out sixty seconds. After we do that, we'll come
- 7:59Speaker 2: back and we'll get right. It's the First Thatsalonians, chapter
- 8:02Speaker 2: number four Versus eleven and twelve. So let's pray first.
- 8:05Speaker 2: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
- 8:09Speaker 2: don't hesitate to leaving on a live chat. That's what
- 8:11Speaker 2: we're here for. We're here to encourage one another, build
- 8:14Speaker 2: one another's up, Amen, and allow Holy Spirit God to
- 8:18Speaker 2: move our hearts. If you have to cry this morning,
- 8:20Speaker 2: to cry, you have to laugh, laugh, have to smile, smile. Amen.
- 8:24Speaker 2: If you have to speak a word against the enemy
- 8:27Speaker 2: over your life, speak a word against them. Amen. The
- 8:31Speaker 2: common thing that every single believer has we have is
- 8:34Speaker 2: that we have a common enemy. The devil. He's a liar.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Don't trust him, don't get into no conversations with him.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Is demonic forces. They're all all defeated, right, But we
- 8:45Speaker 2: got to be mindful that they're schemers, they're deceivers, and
- 8:48Speaker 2: they're old and they know how to They try to
- 8:53Speaker 2: get under our skin. In other words, they try to
- 8:54Speaker 2: make us move through emotion. They try to put fear
- 8:58Speaker 2: and use fear tactics to try to get us distracted
- 9:01Speaker 2: off of what God is doing in our lives and
- 9:03Speaker 2: through our lives. Right. So, Father, I thank you for
- 9:06Speaker 2: your life giving word. I thank you that we win
- 9:08Speaker 2: in you, We always win in Christ. Thank you, Lord God,
- 9:11Speaker 2: that you are close and we are clean because of
- 9:14Speaker 2: your closeness. Thank you, Lord Jesus that you are working
- 9:17Speaker 2: things out for the good for those who love you
- 9:20Speaker 2: and put their whole faith and trust in you. I pray,
- 9:23Speaker 2: Lord God that as we win in this game of life,
- 9:25Speaker 2: Lord God, we will show others how to win as well.
- 9:28Speaker 2: As we're going through the same things that others go through.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Let us know that you are with us. Continuously remind
- 9:36Speaker 2: us of your word, Speak to us through your work.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Allow your word to be able to penetrate hearts of
- 9:42Speaker 2: other individuals who we come in contact with. So I
- 9:46Speaker 2: speak life. I speak a hedge of protection. I pray
- 9:49Speaker 2: a hedge of protection right now, a wall of protection
- 9:52Speaker 2: over all those fiery aurls and those darts that come
- 9:54Speaker 2: our way daily. And I pray, Lord God that you
- 9:57Speaker 2: will get the honor, worship and glory for it, all
- 10:00Speaker 2: single victory, every single time that we win a battle,
- 10:03Speaker 2: every single demon that we are cast out, in the
- 10:06Speaker 2: name of Jesus, we give you glory for it, Lord God.
- 10:09Speaker 2: So I speak life over my mind, over every single
- 10:12Speaker 2: mind that's listening and watching right now, over my wife,
- 10:15Speaker 2: my family, our children. I speak life, I speak creative miracles,
- 10:19Speaker 2: I speak healing, I speak love, I speak grace, I
- 10:22Speaker 2: speak mercy, and I speak the life that will live
- 10:25Speaker 2: in every single individual on the other side of the screen.
- 10:28Speaker 2: On the other side of this mic as well. So
- 10:30Speaker 2: thank you, Lord God, that you are continuously reminding us
- 10:33Speaker 2: of who we are in you and who you are
- 10:36Speaker 2: in us and Jesus name. My prayer is by faith,
- 10:39Speaker 2: and we pray knowing that you hear our prayers and
- 10:41Speaker 2: you're answer them according to your word and your purpose
- 10:44Speaker 2: over our lives. In Jesus' name. Amen, and Amen's let's
- 10:47Speaker 2: go forward sixty seconds. Help a brother shut us out.
- 10:50Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll get it right into First Thessalonians,
- 10:53Speaker 2: chapter number four, Verses eleven and twelve, Living and winning life.
- 10:58Speaker 2: You ready, I'm ready.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Let's got.
- 12:17Speaker 2: A man. Thank you so much for helping me shut
- 12:18Speaker 2: this out. I always shows an app that once I
- 12:21Speaker 2: go live, that it shows out to all the groups
- 12:23Speaker 2: at one time. If you know of an app like
- 12:25Speaker 2: that that a brother, No, I've been looking around for it.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. Maybe people can't develop it, or
- 12:31Speaker 2: maybe it's to you know, client time consuming for people. Amen.
- 12:36Speaker 2: What does this say to upgrade you? Good caount if
- 12:42Speaker 2: resting time? Amen? I don't know what that's all about,
- 12:45Speaker 2: but whatever he's Usister Jolie, God blessed you is good
- 12:49Speaker 2: to see you. Yes, I agree, Amen, And it's power
- 12:52Speaker 2: and agreement. So thank you for agreeing with that, with
- 12:55Speaker 2: that prayer, because it's power and agreement. Now the enemy
- 12:59Speaker 2: is going us like, he's like, wait two or more,
- 13:03Speaker 2: just agreed. So that means where the God is established,
- 13:08Speaker 2: and we're gonna submit to God, right, Jolie, We're gonna
- 13:11Speaker 2: submit to God daily and watch the devil run. He runs,
- 13:15Speaker 2: he's afraid of the Jesus that's in you and afraid
- 13:19Speaker 2: of the Jesus that's in me. We go approaching him
- 13:23Speaker 2: just on our own. Yeah, we don't have a chance,
- 13:26Speaker 2: but with Jesus, we win and we live that winning life.
- 13:29Speaker 2: And the enemy knows it. He knows it. That's why
- 13:31Speaker 2: he doesn't want people to get in touch with God's word,
- 13:35Speaker 2: because he knows. Once we get in touch with God's
- 13:37Speaker 2: word and we speak the word, he has to go
- 13:40Speaker 2: somewhere else. Amen, to somebody else, to another family. Amen.
- 13:45Speaker 2: He can't touch what God has anointed it. I'm just
- 13:48Speaker 2: saying I don't want to preach, but it's the truth.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Every day though he'll try something, he'll send something because
- 13:56Speaker 2: he's the prince of the air. He's not omnipresent. Though
- 13:59Speaker 2: he's not everywhere at all times like God is. But
- 14:02Speaker 2: he's roaming around territories. But what he does have is
- 14:06Speaker 2: territories all around. Right, he has demon demonic territories, strongholds. Right,
- 14:12Speaker 2: he has pornography, he has music industry, he has television,
- 14:18Speaker 2: he has all kind of stuff, all kinds of media,
- 14:21Speaker 2: social media. He has his strategies all around us. And
- 14:26Speaker 2: if we're not mindful, and if we're not careful, we
- 14:28Speaker 2: could fall into any one of those traps. But no,
- 14:31Speaker 2: we don't lose and know we can't. We can't. Our
- 14:35Speaker 2: soul can't be snatched out of us because our soul
- 14:38Speaker 2: is already saved by the savior of the Lord Jesus.
- 14:40Speaker 2: But what happens is if we get distracted, we could
- 14:43Speaker 2: fall in those various traps. That's why the Bible says
- 14:46Speaker 2: be careful to surround yourself with the people of God. Amen,
- 14:51Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing, because the sin that the enemy right sins
- 14:58Speaker 2: around us can so easily and trap us if we're
- 15:01Speaker 2: not careful. So let's walk and stay focused on the
- 15:04Speaker 2: one who is our perfector. He's our Lord, he's our king,
- 15:08Speaker 2: he's Jesus to Christ, and he wants us to live
- 15:11Speaker 2: our winning life, right, He wants us to win a life.
- 15:16Speaker 2: There's no doubt in my mind that God wants us
- 15:18Speaker 2: to live in winning life as we're being perfected by
- 15:22Speaker 2: Him this world. Though, if you live in this world,
- 15:26Speaker 2: you already know that that's not easy. But God makes
- 15:30Speaker 2: things easy when we're in Him and we know we're
- 15:34Speaker 2: in Him, and we know who we are in Him
- 15:36Speaker 2: and who He is in us. That's all I'm saying.
- 15:38Speaker 2: So living and winning life today in the morning, devo,
- 15:41Speaker 2: Let's go for it. Let's get to the scripture first, Thessalonians,
- 15:45Speaker 2: chapter number four, verse Versus eleven and twelve. And to
- 15:50Speaker 2: make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, you
- 15:55Speaker 2: should mind your own business. I love it. Mind your
- 15:57Speaker 2: own business, yo, and walk and work with your hands,
- 16:02Speaker 2: just as we told you, so that your daily life
- 16:07Speaker 2: every day may win the respect of outsiders, and so
- 16:13Speaker 2: that you will not be dependent on anybody. Is a
- 16:17Speaker 2: lot here. I don't have a lot of time, but
- 16:19Speaker 2: listen to this. Lead a quiet life. And that doesn't
- 16:25Speaker 2: mean ladies and gentlemen. Remember this was written and Greek
- 16:28Speaker 2: translated into English, and this was a time of the
- 16:31Speaker 2: scriptures of the New Testament, living it out loud and
- 16:35Speaker 2: living that in that time a man, a quiet life
- 16:40Speaker 2: is different than the quiet life that we're talking about now.
- 16:43Speaker 2: A quiet life now, I believe what the Lord is
- 16:46Speaker 2: saying is that you don't have to be a loud
- 16:49Speaker 2: mouth and tell everybody about your business. You don't got
- 16:53Speaker 2: to be a loud mouth or live such a way
- 16:56Speaker 2: that you're so prideful and arrogant that people have to
- 16:59Speaker 2: know what you're doing, have to know what you did,
- 17:02Speaker 2: have to know what your ministry did, have to know
- 17:04Speaker 2: what your prayers accomplished. No, just mind your own business,
- 17:07Speaker 2: live a quiet life. Right, and work with your hands.
- 17:13Speaker 2: And to work with your hands means do something. God
- 17:17Speaker 2: gave you a creative mind. God gave you ideas, me
- 17:20Speaker 2: and dollar ideas. By the way, God gave you opportunities.
- 17:25Speaker 2: So every chance that He gives you to work with
- 17:27Speaker 2: your hands, work and be creative. Cause we are created
- 17:32Speaker 2: by a creator and he's the ultimate creative, so we
- 17:35Speaker 2: are creatives as well. Right, work with your hands, just
- 17:39Speaker 2: as we were told, so that in our daily life.
- 17:44Speaker 2: And man, yesterday's gone, tomorrow's not promised, but we have
- 17:47Speaker 2: right now. So today's our daily life. We're going to
- 17:49Speaker 2: win the respect of outsiders, those who are outside of
- 17:52Speaker 2: the king outside of the Kingdom of God, those who
- 17:55Speaker 2: don't believe in our Lord, and say, with Jesus Christ,
- 17:57Speaker 2: but because of our example of how we're living quiet
- 18:00Speaker 2: life and I boasting about what we do, we're only
- 18:02Speaker 2: boasting more of what Christ did through us and in us,
- 18:05Speaker 2: and for us to get the respect of outsiders so
- 18:09Speaker 2: they will know that we're not dependent on anybody. I
- 18:14Speaker 2: remember when I used to work for this company named DHL.
- 18:18Speaker 2: For whatever reason, right my supervisor had an inm for me.
- 18:23Speaker 2: He didn't like me. So one time, I remember I
- 18:26Speaker 2: was just saved, like maybe a year, just saved. So
- 18:31Speaker 2: I was kind of like real radical, and I used
- 18:34Speaker 2: to speak a lot about the Lord and I wasn't
- 18:37Speaker 2: ashamed of speaking. I'm still not ashamed to speak about him.
- 18:40Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, he didn't like me. So when
- 18:42Speaker 2: it was one morning he started like approaching me like
- 18:47Speaker 2: kind of like real too aggressive, I said, wait, you're
- 18:49Speaker 2: getting real aggressive. And I didn't want to fall back
- 18:51Speaker 2: into my old ways and just put my hands up
- 18:54Speaker 2: and just start swinging, but I said, listen, you getting
- 18:56Speaker 2: too aggressively so I'm your boss, this, that, and the third,
- 18:58Speaker 2: and he would walk around the van and everywhere I
- 19:01Speaker 2: go he will walk and say, I'm your boss, I'm
- 19:03Speaker 2: your boss. I turned around. I said, listen, man, I'm here,
- 19:06Speaker 2: you know, trying to make an honest, quiet living right,
- 19:09Speaker 2: doing what I gotta do. But you're not really my boss.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I'm here working unto the Lord. The Lord is the
- 19:15Speaker 2: one who gives me my reward, so I'm not working
- 19:18Speaker 2: for man. I'm working for God, a man. And he
- 19:20Speaker 2: didn't like that, and he just looked at me. But
- 19:23Speaker 2: he walked away, though, and from that day on he
- 19:25Speaker 2: was like not that he started liking me anymore after
- 19:28Speaker 2: I said that, just that now he knew that he
- 19:31Speaker 2: couldn't push me to the point where I'm gonna have
- 19:34Speaker 2: to feel like I don't want to go to work
- 19:36Speaker 2: because I'm afraid of the supervisor. It wasn't like that.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I knew what I was there to do. The assignment
- 19:42Speaker 2: was there, the money was okay at the time, but
- 19:47Speaker 2: I knew for sure in my spirit, being so young
- 19:49Speaker 2: in Christ, I'll probably like it, like I said, a
- 19:51Speaker 2: year old than the Lord. But I already had known
- 19:54Speaker 2: that ultimately we're working for God and ultimately outsiders who
- 19:58Speaker 2: don't believe. And I'll go God and our Jesus and
- 20:01Speaker 2: our Lord and our Savior. They're gonna act the way
- 20:03Speaker 2: they're gonna act. They're gonna be the way they're gonna be.
- 20:06Speaker 2: But our prayers always right that they would receive the
- 20:08Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, that they will open up their hearts and
- 20:10Speaker 2: open up their minds, and they were that hard heart
- 20:13Speaker 2: that they have for whatever reason. It could be trauma,
- 20:16Speaker 2: could be past heard, it could be church heard. It
- 20:19Speaker 2: could be you know, maybe they were abused or molested
- 20:22Speaker 2: when they were kids. We don't know their story unless
- 20:25Speaker 2: they speak their story. But God knows their story. And
- 20:28Speaker 2: as insiders, as people of God, as part of the
- 20:32Speaker 2: Kingdom of God, we need to just mind our own
- 20:34Speaker 2: business in a way that we're doing our father's business right.
- 20:38Speaker 2: So I always tell people, listen, I work hard, but
- 20:41Speaker 2: I don't work to get I get to give whatever advance,
- 20:45Speaker 2: whatever money, finances, whatever positions I get, whatever accomplishments I
- 20:51Speaker 2: make amend is because God gave it to me for
- 20:54Speaker 2: a purpose to give out. And I believe He does
- 20:56Speaker 2: that for every single one of his children that call
- 20:59Speaker 2: upon his name to be our father in heaven. How
- 21:02Speaker 2: will be thy name that kingdom come, That will be
- 21:05Speaker 2: done on earth as it is where in heaven. So
- 21:08Speaker 2: we bring down heaven. Amen. Every time we walk through somewhere,
- 21:13Speaker 2: we have Heaven with us. We have God's angels surrounding
- 21:17Speaker 2: us everywhere we go, everywhere we go, and we're gonna
- 21:20Speaker 2: win the day because God won eternity. Amen. And we
- 21:25Speaker 2: have eternity living inside of us. We have eternity in
- 21:28Speaker 2: our hearts, we have eternity in our minds. We speak

- 21:33Speaker 3: Try it.
- 21:34Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's powerful. Speak God's word everywhere you go.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Now you don't gotta, you know, quote like a scripture
- 21:42Speaker 2: and say, well hold on, let me quote this. I mean,
- 21:44Speaker 2: you can if that's your personality. But speak the word.
- 21:47Speaker 2: In other words, if you know something. And so, Sam,
- 21:50Speaker 2: I don't have time. My memory is not too good. Okay,
- 21:53Speaker 2: memorize this one. Jesus wept, the shortest scripture in the
- 21:59Speaker 2: horn tied Bible. Jesus he cried. He cried for what.
- 22:02Speaker 2: He cried for his people. He cried for souls. He
- 22:05Speaker 2: cried for grace, he cried for mercy. He cried for love,
- 22:09Speaker 2: he cried for victory, He cried for a winning life. Amen.
- 22:15Speaker 2: He cried to save us from sin, the sinful nature.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Now we have the divine nature of Christ. Speak the word.
- 22:21Speaker 2: How about this one in the beginning? God, that's Genesis
- 22:24Speaker 2: shot the one in the beginning. God got what God created, Dave,
- 22:31Speaker 2: He manifested. He's powerful, he's almighty. Speak life, Speak word,
- 22:36Speaker 2: and watch how the world will guide you. In two
- 22:39Speaker 2: places where you thought you would never be able to
- 22:42Speaker 2: flow on the way you thought you couldn't flow, you
- 22:45Speaker 2: could flow because we have holy spirit Gods flowing through
- 22:48Speaker 2: us and in us. Good morning, since the joys, Good morning, God,
- 22:50Speaker 2: bless you have a great day in Jesus. Yes, and
- 22:53Speaker 2: Jesus' name, have a great day as well for you
- 22:56Speaker 2: as well. I know God has plenty in store for
- 22:59Speaker 2: your life. Continue to trust Him, sister Joyce, and you will.
- 23:03Speaker 2: You already know and you understand and that every day,
- 23:07Speaker 2: although it might not be one of those tepid days
- 23:09Speaker 2: that you wake up on cloud nine, but listen, he
- 23:12Speaker 2: has Cloud ten coming a man your way. And we
- 23:15Speaker 2: could do this thing together by trusting in God and
- 23:19Speaker 2: trusting in his way and his work and his wisdom
- 23:24Speaker 2: a man, we could do what God calls us to
- 23:26Speaker 2: do on a day to day. Thank you so much
- 23:28Speaker 2: for coming through my system, my friend. So living and
- 23:30Speaker 2: winning life is a thing, and it's possible to live
- 23:35Speaker 2: a winning life. You don't have to always be on
- 23:38Speaker 2: a defensive. You could be on an offensive. It's like today,
- 23:41Speaker 2: I woke up charged out. I was like, listen, today's
- 23:44Speaker 2: my day, amen, and today is your day. It's a
- 23:47Speaker 2: new day. Like crickets outside, which I'm going to annihilate
- 23:51Speaker 2: in by this weekend. You get hit on crickets in
- 23:54Speaker 2: the background, people will be like, no, don't do nothing
- 23:56Speaker 2: to the crickets. Listen, when you're in the studio and
- 23:59Speaker 2: you're trying to record or trying to broadcast, it becomes annoying. Amen.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I don't know what crickets are created to do. I
- 24:06Speaker 2: don't know that's you know. I haven't looked into it.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I know they have some kind of purpose because God
- 24:12Speaker 2: created them, and God creates everything for a purpose and
- 24:16Speaker 2: for a reason. I just don't know the crickets reason
- 24:19Speaker 2: other than to make noise and jump around people's backyards.
- 24:22Speaker 2: But I'm gonna take care of that because right now
- 24:26Speaker 2: it's like a little distracting to hear them in the background.
- 24:31Speaker 2: So never trust in your old self. Right when you're
- 24:36Speaker 2: trying to live a winning life, if you don't have
- 24:40Speaker 2: a heart of God inside of you, be careful when
- 24:44Speaker 2: you're trusting your own heart, because before you're saved, your
- 24:48Speaker 2: heart is full of wickedness to see lies, envy, jealousy,
- 24:52Speaker 2: all of it. Amen, is full of all of it.
- 24:55Speaker 2: But but check this out. When you have the heart
- 24:58Speaker 2: of God, now you could follow that heart. It's a
- 25:01Speaker 2: new heart. Trust in God's word, trusting his love, trusting
- 25:06Speaker 2: his grace, trusting his word. Man, I guarantee you trusting
- 25:09Speaker 2: God's word, you speak Gud's word, things are gonna happen
- 25:12Speaker 2: differently in your life. Since the joy says Amen, Yes,
- 25:14Speaker 2: my strength is made perfect in weakness. Yes. And when
- 25:19Speaker 2: we realize that without God we can't win. Without God,
- 25:22Speaker 2: we are weak, Amen, in our own weakness, He'll show
- 25:26Speaker 2: his strength and we could be encouraged and know that
- 25:28Speaker 2: God's strength is us Daily, My brother, blast tone, what's
- 25:32Speaker 2: going on?
- 25:33Speaker 1: Man?
- 25:33Speaker 2: I broke crickets will warn you when someone or something
- 25:37Speaker 2: is out there. Really, are you serious? I never knew
- 25:41Speaker 2: that or what's the warning? How do they warn you?
- 25:44Speaker 2: Is it they get louder because that's kind of cool.
- 25:48Speaker 2: So they're like a free alarm system. I never knew that. Okay,
- 25:54Speaker 2: I never knew that for real, Like you got to
- 25:56Speaker 2: put me onto what you know? Now. That's why I
- 25:58Speaker 2: love asking questions, cause some people know the answers. Hey man,
- 26:03Speaker 2: Oh say they're quiet when something's out there, and they're
- 26:09Speaker 2: noisy when everything's all good cause their environment, right, it
- 26:12Speaker 2: is probably okay, now we can do our thing is
- 26:15Speaker 2: nothing is, nothing's out there. But when they're quiet, I
- 26:18Speaker 2: guess there's something around because they're hiding. I'll say, I'm
- 26:21Speaker 2: thinking out loud, man, Okay, got you see, I'm on point.
- 26:24Speaker 2: I I know now about crickets.
- 26:26Speaker 1: You know.
- 26:26Speaker 2: It's funny though. Quick story. When I first moved out
- 26:29Speaker 2: from New York City, right from Brooklyn to Pennsylvania, I
- 26:34Speaker 2: never noticed and I'm pretty sure there was crickets and
- 26:37Speaker 2: in the New York, New York City and Brooklyn where
- 26:39Speaker 2: I was from, but probably not a lot of them.
- 26:42Speaker 2: But when I first moved out here, I would tell
- 26:45Speaker 2: my friend what is that? What is that that noise?
- 26:48Speaker 2: And he was so My boy was living out here
- 26:50Speaker 2: from New York as well, he was already used to it.
- 26:52Speaker 2: So he said, what are you talking about? Go to sleep.
- 26:54Speaker 2: I said, you don't hear that, and he was like what,
- 26:56Speaker 2: So he said, wait, let me be quiet. I want
- 26:59Speaker 2: to hear what you're hearing. He said, are you talking
- 27:02Speaker 2: about the crickets? He said, I was at crickets. I
- 27:04Speaker 2: never heard crickets before. He laughed. He said, bro get
- 27:07Speaker 2: used to it because they're out here, heavy and they're deep.
- 27:10Speaker 2: So I had to get used to it. I'm used
- 27:12Speaker 2: to it now. They're just annoying when you're recording and
- 27:14Speaker 2: when you're doing a broadcast. I learned something today about crickets. Yes,
- 27:18Speaker 2: this is the joints learned too. Man, go ahead to home,
- 27:21Speaker 2: preach and teach right and knowing it's half the battle yep.
- 27:25Speaker 2: And the other half of the battle is what applying
- 27:27Speaker 2: what you know now. So applying that wisdom and getting
- 27:31Speaker 2: that understanding is how we win the day. As well.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Another scripture we have here about this whole thing about
- 27:40Speaker 2: work for what you get and work in a way
- 27:42Speaker 2: that you could win over people went over souls to
- 27:46Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus. So you can live with winter life.
- 27:48Speaker 2: It's second. That'salonians chapter three, verse ten. For even when
- 27:52Speaker 2: we were with you, we gave you this food. If
- 27:54Speaker 2: a man will not work, he will not eat. So
- 27:59Speaker 2: we already know working is a blessing. To work is
- 28:02Speaker 2: a blessing. Whatever you do. It could be you're a
- 28:05Speaker 2: regis to nurse. It could be you work for sanitation.
- 28:09Speaker 2: It could be you're in a bank. It could be
- 28:12Speaker 2: your teacher, it could be whatever the situation, the athlete,
- 28:16Speaker 2: a broadcaster. Whatever, whatever you do, man do it knowing
- 28:20Speaker 2: that you're doing a work for the Lord. And you're
- 28:24Speaker 2: doing a work because you are able to do something
- 28:26Speaker 2: creative that will help somebody else that can't do it,
- 28:30Speaker 2: or you're get to help somebody. Like we were just
- 28:32Speaker 2: taught about crickets, and it's funny in a way for me,
- 28:36Speaker 2: but I'm like, now I just learned something. So the
- 28:38Speaker 2: work is being done right here. So now I understand
- 28:41Speaker 2: a little bit more about my surroundings, and I understand
- 28:44Speaker 2: a little bit more about them, annoying animals, annoying insects.
- 28:49Speaker 2: But we could do it. We could do what we understand,
- 28:53Speaker 2: do what we know, and do it to your best ability,
- 28:55Speaker 2: and the people around you. The outsiders, the people who
- 28:58Speaker 2: don't know Christ, the people who don't go to church,
- 29:00Speaker 2: the people who don't believe in our God. Amen, they
- 29:02Speaker 2: will at least acknowledge that that person in front of me,
- 29:06Speaker 2: that person over there, or that person that is working
- 29:09Speaker 2: at this job, they doing it. They're doing it, and
- 29:12Speaker 2: they're doing it with a smile on their face. They're
- 29:14Speaker 2: doing it with understanding, they're doing it with wisdom, they're
- 29:16Speaker 2: doing it with authority, and they're going to be curious
- 29:19Speaker 2: of how we do what we do and why we
- 29:21Speaker 2: work the way we work so we can live in
- 29:25Speaker 2: winning life, man, and winning and winning life is to
- 29:28Speaker 2: do what God calls us to do. Be creative, work
- 29:31Speaker 2: with your hands, do something a man. Maybe you could
- 29:33Speaker 2: write down something, do a tutorial about something that you
- 29:36Speaker 2: know really good, Amen, and other people will be able
- 29:40Speaker 2: to benefit from it. So make it your ambitions to
- 29:43Speaker 2: lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, to
- 29:45Speaker 2: work with your hands. Just as we told you said
- 29:47Speaker 2: that your daily life may win the respective outsiders and
- 29:52Speaker 2: so that you will not be dependent on anybody but God. Amen.
- 29:56Speaker 2: So thank you so much for hanging out with us. Man,
- 29:58Speaker 2: I'm out of time. Ready, clock went down quick amen,
- 30:02Speaker 2: as we was going through this, but take first Thessalonians
- 30:04Speaker 2: chapter number four. Read the whole chapter for yourself. God
- 30:07Speaker 2: will speak through you and for you and to you.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Amen through that scripture, and you can learn how to
- 30:13Speaker 2: win the day and win and live a winning life,
- 30:18Speaker 2: right living and winning life. God bless you all, God
- 30:21Speaker 2: keep you all, or remember always that God is good. Peace,
