- 0:29Speaker 1: So listen, there's a lot going on right in our
- 0:33Speaker 1: world and our country and our mason around the world, actually,
- 0:37Speaker 1: but there's more going on within every single one of us.
- 0:41Speaker 1: And if we're not careful, we could get into what
- 0:43Speaker 1: we're gonna call hatred hat red. Some people just think
- 0:48Speaker 1: that word is hat read, but it's hatred, right. There's
- 0:51Speaker 1: a lot of hate, haters going around, a lot of
- 0:55Speaker 1: hatred going around, a lot of haters, a lot of
- 0:57Speaker 1: things happening in our world because of past events, because
- 1:02Speaker 1: of historical events, because of what happened in the past
- 1:06Speaker 1: and our nation, and a lot of people have built
- 1:09Speaker 1: up what we call hatred.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:12Speaker 1: The Bible actually describes certain kinds of hatred that God
- 1:17Speaker 1: hates that's a word all by itself. I'm gonna say
- 1:24Speaker 1: it again. The Bible describes certain kinds of hatred that
- 1:31Speaker 1: God hates, hatred that contradicts his nature of love, truth,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and righteousness. Can't even make that up. So we know
- 1:44Speaker 1: God is a god of love. God is love. But
- 1:46Speaker 1: did you know that God hates He hates sin, and
- 1:52Speaker 1: he hates certain kinds of hatred because it contradicts his
- 1:58Speaker 1: nature of love, truth, and righteousness.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Amen.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I don't know how you came to the Lord or
- 2:05Speaker 1: if you're even in the Lord right now, Right, I
- 2:07Speaker 1: don't know if you believe in Jesus, the Christ, the
- 2:09Speaker 1: Lord Jesus as your savior.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Amen.
- 2:13Speaker 1: But wherever you find yourself is based on the decisions
- 2:16Speaker 1: you're making currently. Right, we're gonna be your first John
- 2:20Speaker 1: chapter three, verse fifteen, and we're gonna see the kind
- 2:25Speaker 1: of hatred or the kinds of hatred that God hates.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:31Speaker 1: You can have reasons for why you are angry, why
- 2:35Speaker 1: you're upset at people at a nation, at other cultures. Right,
- 2:41Speaker 1: But God's word should be the governing word over our lives. Right,
- 2:48Speaker 1: God's words should be the governing word for our actions.
- 2:54Speaker 1: It's deeper than I think I'm going to say. Then
- 2:59Speaker 1: you think right, Good morning man, Well I see you.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Wars start within a man, Yes, inner, inner reach, in
- 3:09Speaker 1: reach before outreach. That's what I always tell people when
- 3:12Speaker 1: they want to go into ministry and want to do outreach.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I said, let's do it in reach first.
- 3:16Speaker 1: They prayed up, get into the word, and then go
- 3:19Speaker 1: out because a lot of people are dealing with a
- 3:21Speaker 1: lot of hatred, and if we feed that type of
- 3:24Speaker 1: energy of hatred, we're going to be hating every single
- 3:28Speaker 1: person that hates us, and we're going to be shocked,
- 3:32Speaker 1: or at least I was shocked when I first realized
- 3:36Speaker 1: that God hates hatred because it contradicts His nature of love, truth,
- 3:44Speaker 1: and righteousness. That's where we're going to be today on
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Morning Devo. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 3:51Speaker 1: prayer requests, please.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat.
- 3:55Speaker 1: That's what we're here for, amen, We're here to gather
- 3:57Speaker 1: together fellowship. Right, get into the Word and make this
- 4:02Speaker 1: first part of our day a man. Sorry, I'm looking down.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I forgot to share it to my group now. Amen,
- 4:10Speaker 1: So let's go pray first. After we pray we'll shed
- 4:14Speaker 1: us out for like sixty seconds, and then on the
- 4:17Speaker 1: other side of those sixty seconds we'll get right into
- 4:19Speaker 1: today's morning. Devo man Well says God has nothing to
- 4:23Speaker 1: do with hatred at all, because God is love. That's right,
- 4:27Speaker 1: and that's why it flies in the face when I
- 4:32Speaker 1: don't want to give away the scripture yet. But if
- 4:34Speaker 1: I have an issue with my brother or my sister
- 4:38Speaker 1: in Christ and it turns into an issue of hatred,
- 4:42Speaker 1: that's not golly. That's actually me right and my self hating.
- 4:48Speaker 1: And God doesn't approve of that. He doesn't sanction hate,
- 4:51Speaker 1: trith right hatred towards one another.
- 4:54Speaker 2: So let's pray.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Father, Peace is what you offer, peaces, what you give
- 4:59Speaker 1: for all who love you and follow your commandments. Thank you,
- 5:02Speaker 1: Love God, for the peace of God, because we have
- 5:05Speaker 1: peace with God because of the Lord Jesus Christ. I
- 5:08Speaker 1: pray Lord God Peace over every single person right now
- 5:11Speaker 1: that's watching or listening. I pray that over myself, the
- 5:14Speaker 1: peace of God, the love of God, the mercy of God,
- 5:17Speaker 1: the grace of God over myself, my wife, our children,
- 5:21Speaker 1: our grandchildren, and every single member and our family, both
- 5:26Speaker 1: young and old, and every single person in between. I
- 5:30Speaker 1: pray Lord God for my son and his family, that
- 5:34Speaker 1: they have lost his uncle and it's a tough situation.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'm not a liberty to say how what happened, but
- 5:46Speaker 1: I pray comfort and peace over the Batista family right
- 5:51Speaker 1: now and the powerful matchless.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Name of Jesus.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I pray Lord God for empathy and sympathy should be
- 5:58Speaker 1: expressed towards more the siblings towards one another, that this
- 6:02Speaker 1: would create in them a bond like them, but before
- 6:06Speaker 1: a bond of love.
- 6:07Speaker 2: A bond of peace with each other, a bond of.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Just unity in the family during this tough time in
- 6:17Speaker 1: their life. I pray he with my son and his family,
- 6:20Speaker 1: his wife and his family as well, and my grands
- 6:24Speaker 1: that they might not understand what's happened.
- 6:26Speaker 2: In Jesus Holy name, and.
- 6:28Speaker 1: For every single person out there that is suffering a
- 6:30Speaker 1: loss of a loved one, that is maybe looking at
- 6:33Speaker 1: the culture and.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Watching it shift a man.
- 6:38Speaker 1: There's a lot of beautiful things happening, and there's a
- 6:40Speaker 1: lot of not so beautiful things happening in our world.
- 6:44Speaker 2: But Father God, I.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Pray that we will all be in your path of
- 6:49Speaker 1: righteousness and that we will be in your path of love,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and we will be in your path of truth and
- 6:58Speaker 1: the powerful the name of Jesus.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I pray it's by faith and the name of Jesus.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Amen to the Amen. So thank you, thank you so
- 7:09Speaker 2: much for coming through and agreeing with the prayer. If
- 7:11Speaker 2: you agree, man.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Well says hatred is being out of God's will. Wow,
- 7:16Speaker 1: that's deep. Amen, very good comment. So listen, let's take
- 7:20Speaker 1: sixty seconds. Help me share this side. When we come back,
- 7:22Speaker 1: we'll get right into it. I'll be right back.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Amen.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Amen, back, So listen, this is something that's been on
- 8:51Speaker 1: my heart man for currently for a couple of weeks. Now,
- 8:56Speaker 1: I'm like, why so much hatred? And I'm not going
- 9:01Speaker 1: to say in the body of Christ, like I heard
- 9:03Speaker 1: somebody say that the church is the body of Christ.
- 9:06Speaker 2: That's up a debate.
- 9:09Speaker 1: That is help for debate depending on your definition of
- 9:12Speaker 1: the church, Amen, and considering the church as the body
- 9:17Speaker 1: of Christ, that's ulf a debate. There is no hatred
- 9:20Speaker 1: in the Kingdom of God. Let me just say that
- 9:23Speaker 1: there's no spot or blemish in the body of Christ.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Let me just say that, according to the scripture, finished
- 9:29Speaker 1: work of Jesus shows that he's coming back for a
- 9:33Speaker 1: spotless bride.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Right. His church, his church, his body. Amen.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And when I hear people say the church is the
- 9:42Speaker 1: body of Christ, I'm a little cautious on that because
- 9:48Speaker 1: if they're saying that their church, and there's obviously things
- 9:53Speaker 1: going on, and then the excuse would be, well, we're
- 9:55Speaker 1: all human and we all fail and we all frail.
- 10:00Speaker 1: You know you heard it before, right, that every church
- 10:04Speaker 1: is different, and that there's imperfect people and leadership and
- 10:09Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's that's so true. But we're not
- 10:12Speaker 1: talking about a church organization. We're talking about the Body
- 10:16Speaker 1: of Christ, which is an organism. A man over here,
- 10:20Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. So I understand that. Yeah,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I admit that I fail at times, Amen, But I
- 10:29Speaker 1: also admit that I'm in the body of Christ, the
- 10:33Speaker 1: Church of Christ, who has which denomination.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Is the Church of God? Right?
- 10:40Speaker 1: Which is the church. That's why I'm like a little
- 10:43Speaker 1: leery when people say, you know, the church is the
- 10:45Speaker 1: body of Christ. No, the body of Christ is the
- 10:48Speaker 1: body of Christ. I don't know why I went down
- 10:50Speaker 1: that room anyway, It must be something that God's dealing
- 10:53Speaker 1: with me right now and during these times but and
- 10:58Speaker 1: listen before people get in uned is the graphic has
- 11:02Speaker 1: nothing to.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Do with the topic.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I just picked a graphic to put on the front
- 11:09Speaker 1: of the cover hatred.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Amen.
- 11:13Speaker 1: So don't please don't be like, oh, look Samus making
- 11:18Speaker 1: subs on his podcast and he put an image of
- 11:24Speaker 1: a white woman when an arm's open, and he put hatred.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Don't go there, because that's not the issue at all.
- 11:33Speaker 1: The expression that she has on her face is what
- 11:36Speaker 1: drew me to the graphic, because that's how I feel, like.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Why so, miss hatred? It's a question, amen. First, John
- 11:45Speaker 2: chapter three, verse fifteen.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Everyone who hates works against his brother in Christ is
- 11:53Speaker 1: at heart a murderer by God's standards. And you know
- 12:01Speaker 1: that no murderer has eternal life abiding that means a
- 12:07Speaker 1: living in him. We have the crush reference Matthew chapter five,
- 12:12Speaker 1: verses twenty one to twenty three. So this is for us,
- 12:17Speaker 1: this is for everybody in the church outside the church, believers,
- 12:20Speaker 1: non believers, atheists, agnostics, skeptic, cynics, everyone who hates. But
- 12:26Speaker 1: I believe the Lord is talking to his people, works
- 12:31Speaker 1: against his brother in Christ. Right, If you're doing that,
- 12:38Speaker 1: you're a murderer because when people are asking the question
- 12:43Speaker 1: if you ever sinned, and another person yeah, sin, But
- 12:46Speaker 1: you know I never did.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I never killed anybody. I never murdered anybody.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Well, according to God's standard. That's why the Bible honestly
- 12:54Speaker 1: tells us that we all fall short of the glorious
- 12:58Speaker 1: standards of Christ. We all fall show up the glory
- 13:02Speaker 1: of God. Why because His standards are high and lifted
- 13:08Speaker 1: up above our standards.
- 13:11Speaker 2: So we have.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Something against a brother in Christ in our heart that
- 13:18Speaker 1: is considered murder by God's standards.
- 13:21Speaker 2: And you know that, right.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I hope you know that no murderer has eternal life,
- 13:25Speaker 1: or no murderer has the life of God living inside
- 13:30Speaker 1: of him. To me, I could say, where I see it,
- 13:35Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit is not living or abiding inside of
- 13:39Speaker 1: you if you carry around hatred towards your brother in Christ.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Matthew five twenty three is the cross reference if you
- 13:48Speaker 1: want to go a little further with this.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Amen.
- 13:52Speaker 1: So that's a big ouch for the morning, at least
- 13:55Speaker 1: for me. I'm like, wow, Lord, really you got me here? Yes,
- 14:00Speaker 1: because everyone has to deal with issues in life concerning.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Hatred.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Like we were sharing some stories, me and my younger brother,
- 14:16Speaker 1: my youngest brother sharing some stories about.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Places that you go to nowadays that have.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Sundown cities, that you go to certain establishments, and that
- 14:32Speaker 1: if you look different than what the establishment is looking like,
- 14:36Speaker 1: I'll just put like that you're considered an intruder. And
- 14:43Speaker 1: you can see the hatred in people's eyes. And I've
- 14:45Speaker 1: experienced it with my own two eves. Not knowing where
- 14:48Speaker 1: I was, and I didn't know that still existed, especially
- 14:51Speaker 1: in my state, and I was in a certain city
- 14:55Speaker 1: I'll need to leave unnamed. And I was there in
- 14:59Speaker 1: the evening, and man, the eyes of hatred that I saw,
- 15:05Speaker 1: I was like, wow, it was a restaurant. The waitress
- 15:09Speaker 1: came up and she says, it's to go right, just
- 15:13Speaker 1: like that, in other words, we don't want you here,
- 15:16Speaker 1: so please order and leave. And me not using a
- 15:23Speaker 1: lot of wisdom that day, I ordered. What did I
- 15:26Speaker 1: expect that order was gonna be good? And I ordered,
- 15:30Speaker 1: and as I thought in the back of my mind,
- 15:33Speaker 1: the food was horrible, and I think they made sure
- 15:37Speaker 1: it was horrible so that way I wouldn't return to
- 15:40Speaker 1: that establishment.
- 15:41Speaker 2: So I tossed it out the window.
- 15:43Speaker 1: My bad littered because I had some anger without and
- 15:49Speaker 1: then I where I was going. It was an hour
- 15:52Speaker 1: and change away from that place. I was delivering meds
- 15:56Speaker 1: that a patient needed that night. I was on mission
- 16:01Speaker 1: to get those meds to the patient. But man, that
- 16:04Speaker 1: was tough on me because it totally caught me off guard.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Because you know that, know me, know that I don't
- 16:12Speaker 1: like to hurt people. I don't like to insult no one.
- 16:16Speaker 2: I don't like to hate.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Right, But when it's received and you're not like, it
- 16:23Speaker 1: throws you off. You're like, man, so you have to
- 16:26Speaker 1: write down the spot, rely on the Holy Spirit God
- 16:29Speaker 1: to help you through that, because that's tough stuff.
- 16:33Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 16:36Speaker 1: People or how people could be that way, but we're
- 16:41Speaker 1: dealing with that, Amen, and our current generation we're dealing
- 16:45Speaker 1: with that. So that's the scripture that God drew me to, Amen, and.
- 16:53Speaker 2: I'm dealing with it. Right.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I don't want to have hatred in my heart, especially
- 16:58Speaker 1: for my brothers and sisters in Christ. It flies in
- 17:01Speaker 1: the face of who God is. And if I'm truly
- 17:04Speaker 1: a believer in Christ, why would they even go down
- 17:07Speaker 1: that road. Well, the flesh, hey, man, no excuse, I'm
- 17:11Speaker 1: saying that the flesh is all up in that hatred.
- 17:15Speaker 1: The flesh is all about arguing. The flesh is all
- 17:19Speaker 1: about having its way. And if we don't keep the
- 17:22Speaker 1: flesh in check, or if we feed the flesh, we'll
- 17:25Speaker 1: get the consequences or we'll get the results of the flesh.
- 17:30Speaker 1: But if we so into the Spirit of God, the
- 17:32Speaker 1: Word of God, the love of God, the truth of God,
- 17:34Speaker 1: the righteousness of God, we will get the results of
- 17:38Speaker 1: that which is so much better. Sister Joyce, I see you,
- 17:40Speaker 1: good morning, God, bless you. Thank you for the blessings
- 17:44Speaker 1: and love to the group as well.
- 17:46Speaker 2: In Jesus Holy Name, Thank you, my sister, my friend,
- 17:49Speaker 2: for showing up to the morning devot.
- 17:52Speaker 1: So there's a hatred, certain kinds of hatred that God hates.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Number one, hatred that murders in the art, that's what
- 18:01Speaker 1: we just read first John three fifteen. The Lord taught
- 18:06Speaker 1: us that hatred toward another person is like committing murder
- 18:11Speaker 1: in your heart and our heart. Now, that's how serious
- 18:16Speaker 1: the Lord is dealing with that, right. I don't know
- 18:20Speaker 1: if people realized that. It's because God's standards are high
- 18:26Speaker 1: way higher than our standards. But when we have the
- 18:29Speaker 1: righteousness of Christ living in us, we could do that,
- 18:34Speaker 1: can't do it on our own. Jesus plainly told us
- 18:37Speaker 1: that with him we could do all things, and without
- 18:39Speaker 1: him we could do nothing. And I believe it's because
- 18:43Speaker 1: we want to have his standards moving or his standards
- 18:47Speaker 1: being accomplished in our lives and our hearts without his
- 18:51Speaker 1: spirit in us. Right, So this goes for everyone because
- 18:56Speaker 1: the scripture says everyone who hates his brother is a murderer.
- 19:00Speaker 1: You know that no murderer has eternal life of biding
- 19:02Speaker 1: in him. So God hates this because it destroys what.
- 19:07Speaker 1: It destroys relationships, It fuels violence, and opposes his command
- 19:15Speaker 1: to actually love. Right in the same room, if you
- 19:20Speaker 1: met somebody that loves Christ, they show love to you,
- 19:24Speaker 1: and here comes somebody that shows hatred. Who do you
- 19:30Speaker 1: think God is going to be pleased with more the
- 19:33Speaker 1: person that's showing hatred. Now, I didn't say that God
- 19:38Speaker 1: hates those who hate God?
- 19:41Speaker 2: Is love? Right? I used to be an enemy of God?
- 19:44Speaker 2: What about you? Before he saved me?
- 19:46Speaker 1: I was an enemy of God, So he still loved me,
- 19:51Speaker 1: He still loves you. What I'm saying is that if
- 19:55Speaker 1: two people in the room and one is showing love,
- 19:57Speaker 1: and one is showing hatred.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Amen. That's flying in the face of who God is.
- 20:04Speaker 1: So if you're in Christ and you say you're a
- 20:06Speaker 1: born again believer and you have hatred for your brother
- 20:10Speaker 1: in Christ, take a pause, walk away, pray, silence yourself
- 20:16Speaker 1: for a minute, go in your secret place. Ask God
- 20:20Speaker 1: to help you out of that situation. Because I don't
- 20:22Speaker 1: want to be considered.
- 20:23Speaker 2: A murder murderer.
- 20:24Speaker 1: I know you don't want to be considered a murderer.
- 20:27Speaker 1: And then Baba says, no, murderer has eternal life abiding him.
- 20:32Speaker 1: That should be a place of like, no, I'm not
- 20:34Speaker 1: going there. I want the eternal life of Christ living
- 20:37Speaker 1: inside of me to abide in me. Amen, there's no
- 20:40Speaker 1: other way. Hatred rooted and injustice. That's number two. When
- 20:46Speaker 1: people hate others because of envy, pride, or personal gain,
- 20:51Speaker 1: it leads to oppression those people I don't want them
- 20:54Speaker 1: to win. Leads to envy, pride and oppression. Growing up
- 21:01Speaker 1: where I grew up, in the hood of Brooklyn, New York,
- 21:06Speaker 1: there was people who showed a lot of love in
- 21:08Speaker 1: those projects, man, and there was other people that if
- 21:12Speaker 1: they saw you winning, or we used to say getting
- 21:19Speaker 1: your weight up. We used to say it was a
- 21:20Speaker 1: slang or as soon as somebody is coming up, that
- 21:25Speaker 1: was another slang. People for whatever reason they didn't like that.
- 21:31Speaker 1: They used to say, why those people are, you know,
- 21:35Speaker 1: winning and I'm not and we're not. It caused a
- 21:40Speaker 1: lot of violence, It caused a lot of envy, caused
- 21:47Speaker 1: a lot of pride because when people were coming up,
- 21:51Speaker 1: we would say, our crew would congratulate that, unless they
- 21:56Speaker 1: would fly it in our face and say, Hahi, you
- 21:59Speaker 1: don't have what we have right Amos Chapter five, verse ten.
- 22:03Speaker 1: The scripture says, if they hate him who reproves in
- 22:08Speaker 1: the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth, man,
- 22:13Speaker 1: oh Man, speak the truth in our country, and depending
- 22:18Speaker 1: on who's receiving that truth, they'll hate you or love you,
- 22:25Speaker 1: depends what we're talking right right now is considered hate
- 22:31Speaker 1: speech in a lot of communities, for certain communities. And
- 22:36Speaker 1: obviously it won't make sense. It won't drive to a
- 22:39Speaker 1: born again believer that this is considered hate speech.
- 22:42Speaker 2: It doesn't. It doesn't make sense.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Rightfully, So why because if the people that are calling
- 22:52Speaker 1: to this hate don't have the spirit of God living
- 22:54Speaker 1: within them or abiding in them. Amen, they won't understand this.
- 22:58Speaker 1: This is gibberish. These scriptures, these messages, these morning DeVos
- 23:04Speaker 1: that are inspired by the Lord Jesus by way of
- 23:06Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, is gibberish to those who are perishing.
- 23:10Speaker 2: In other words, for those who don't.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Have the abiding One living within them, those who don't
- 23:15Speaker 1: have Holy Spirit living within them, this is gibberish.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Tune out real quick.
- 23:20Speaker 1: But those who are seeking truth, who are seeking righteousness,
- 23:23Speaker 1: who are seeking love, who are dealing with their own self,
- 23:27Speaker 1: the inner self, and they don't want to be a
- 23:29Speaker 1: hater anymore. And this is going to make sense because
- 23:33Speaker 1: God's drawing you, drawing that person to himself and saying, listen,
- 23:38Speaker 1: I love you, and I want you to hear this.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I want you to know me in a more intimate way.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I want you to ask me to forgive you or
- 23:46Speaker 1: want you to walk holiness and righteousness. I want to
- 23:49Speaker 1: fill you with my Holy Spirit. That's what God is
- 23:51Speaker 1: telling a person right now who is seeking truth, who
- 23:54Speaker 1: is seeking love, not just happiness, not just personal gain,
- 23:58Speaker 1: right seeking truth.
- 24:02Speaker 2: God is right.
- 24:02Speaker 1: There, The Lord Jesus is right there, right there, and
- 24:07Speaker 1: he's saying, listen, I love you, and I have open
- 24:10Speaker 1: arms for you. The invitation is for you. The day
- 24:13Speaker 1: of salvation is today. Amen for you. Right now, Manuel said,
- 24:18Speaker 1: God has given us the spirit of truth. Right there's
- 24:23Speaker 1: nothing that the Lord has said that should be considered
- 24:26Speaker 1: a lot.
- 24:27Speaker 2: He speaks truth.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Every single time he opened his mouth, it was full
- 24:32Speaker 1: of grace and truth. There's never a time, even when
- 24:36Speaker 1: Jesus flipped the tables over, even when Jesus was confronting
- 24:39Speaker 1: the Pharisee, Sadducies and scribes about Moses and the commandments,
- 24:44Speaker 1: right the way they were propping up themselves as if
- 24:47Speaker 1: they were better than the others. Even in those conversations,
- 24:51Speaker 1: you could see that God was showing authority also with
- 24:55Speaker 1: grace and love. The reason why you could see grace
- 24:58Speaker 1: there because he didn't wipe them out.
- 25:00Speaker 2: He could have said, listen, you.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Guys, are or are making my people strained because of
- 25:06Speaker 1: your you know, religion.
- 25:09Speaker 2: He didn't do that.
- 25:10Speaker 1: He had the conversation, the tough conversation with the scribes,
- 25:13Speaker 1: Pharisees and Sadducees, and yet they went away alive, untouched.
- 25:19Speaker 2: There was no war.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Did you notice that there was no rebellious war against
- 25:25Speaker 1: the Pharisians Sadducees. Jesus didn't tell's disciples, okay, let's war
- 25:29Speaker 1: against these people. He didn't say that. Read the scriptures Matthew, Mark, Luke,
- 25:34Speaker 1: and John you'll see how Jesus moved right. And then
- 25:37Speaker 1: after Jesus completed his mission on this earth, because he
- 25:41Speaker 1: said it is finished. That was the mission of sin
- 25:44Speaker 1: that was paid a man. He did what the prophet said,
- 25:48Speaker 1: prophesied about him. He completed that over three hundred prophecies
- 25:53Speaker 1: on that cross. Wow. Right, he forgave us right there
- 25:58Speaker 1: from the cross, He said, Father, forgive them right there
- 26:01Speaker 1: from the cross. And a person, one of the thieves,
- 26:05Speaker 1: next to them.
- 26:06Speaker 2: He brought them.
- 26:08Speaker 1: With him into Paradise. That same day he said, today
- 26:12Speaker 1: you will be with me in Paris. So we're not
- 26:14Speaker 1: talking about a God who hates us because we hate him.
- 26:18Speaker 1: We're talking about who God who loves those who hate
- 26:21Speaker 1: him a man, because he knows the condition of man's heart.
- 26:26Speaker 1: He created us, so he knows where we're going and
- 26:31Speaker 1: why we're going there. But yet his love, his grace
- 26:34Speaker 1: is mercy, right, is drawing us closer to him.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Amen.
- 26:40Speaker 1: So that's why we can see to pray for our enemies.
- 26:42Speaker 1: The Lord said, pray for your enemies. You know this
- 26:45Speaker 1: is not us in them a war, and let's fight,
- 26:48Speaker 1: and let's have hatred towards another. God is not The
- 26:51Speaker 1: Messiah doesn't raise murderers.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Amen.
- 26:56Speaker 1: The Messiah raises people who love people to life.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Life.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Ma'm well said, It's impossible for God to lie.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Amen.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Amen, it's against his nature. He's the God of truth,
- 27:10Speaker 1: not the God of lies.
- 27:12Speaker 2: So listen.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Amount of time, it's a lot here, Amen. Maybe we'll
- 27:15Speaker 1: keep continuing down this line. Just to nil side.
- 27:17Speaker 2: I see you.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you. Thank you so much for
- 27:20Speaker 1: coming through the morning. Devo and men, there's a lot here.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Go to First John chapter number three. We were in
- 27:30Speaker 1: verse fifteen, but read the whole chapter, First John chapter
- 27:33Speaker 1: three for yourself and see how God will expand on
- 27:37Speaker 1: what we shared on the morning Devo.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Hatred.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Let's come against hatred and show love towards one another.
- 27:43Speaker 1: So thank you for coming through. God, bless you all.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Got to keep you all and remember always that God
- 27:50Speaker 1: is good.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Peace.
