0:03
Good morning, Good morning, family of gud Welcome back to the Morning Devo,
0:06
which your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ Sam rock So winners with a z
0:10
dot org Live dot So winners with a z dot org when streaming on platforms
0:14
that allow us to stream on social media platforms. Also my YouTube. It's
0:19
pretty solid thus far. Glory to God. A man, Thank you Jesus
0:23
for protecting my channel for all these years. And let's go for it.
0:27
Man. Today we're gonna talk about something a little heavy for Morning Devo,
0:31
but it's necessary. From the time of this recording, the season is changing
0:36
in my area. A Man in the Northeast, Broadcasting from Bethalem, Pennsylvania.
0:42
A Man, And summertime is coming right and usually during around summertime when
0:49
it gets starts getting hot and the season starts getting nicer. For whatever reason,
0:56
people like all kinds of people, some people that look like me,
1:00
some people that look like you. If you don't look like me, they
1:03
start diving into all kind of abusive behaviors during the summertime, the summer months
1:10
and when it's nice out, and I just want to talk about it because
1:12
I know that it's a reality and because it's a reality. The real Word
1:19
of God speaks on it, right, The real Word speaks on it.
1:23
Amen. And the Word of God's honest with us. The Word of God
1:26
doesn't shy or beating around the bush. It doesn't. The Word of God.
1:32
God's Word doesn't really, you know, jump over hurdles to make sure
1:38
we're not offended, or make sure that we're allowed to do our thing without
1:44
any kind of rules or boundaries. That's not the Word of God. The
1:47
Word of God gives us boundaries because God loves us. He doesn't want us
1:52
to get hurt, and he doesn't want us to have these abusive behaviors.
1:57
Amen. And I believe that if we follow what the Word says, when
2:02
it comes down to these abusive behaviors, we'll be all right. And will
2:07
we mess up. Probably, it's a big probability that we will mess up,
2:12
But we don't have to stay messed up, if that makes any sense.
2:15
The Christian's body, the Christians body, is a temple of God.
2:23
I used to say the temple of God, but I said that's a little
2:25
bit arrogant. On my half is a temple, So we're temples of God
2:32
on this earth. So the Christians body is a temple of God. Please
2:37
don't abuse it with drugs and alcohol. Right? And every time I say
2:42
that, I feel like a parent, right saying that to a child.
2:47
Don't abuse your body, don't drink, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol.
2:52
Right. But guess what, we have a heavenly father that tells us that
2:58
he knows what happens, although he himself a man, I'm indulged, but
3:04
he knows what happens when we start these abusive behaviors. What happens to our
3:08
anatomy, what happens to our body, what happens to our mind, what
3:13
happens to our health? What happens when we do these things that I'm calling
3:19
abusive behavior. Today in the morning, Devo, we're gonna be in First
3:23
Corinthians, chapter number six, verse number nineteen. First Corinthians, Chapter six,
3:28
verse number nineteen. And I know it's a heavy topic for the morning,
3:32
but I believe with all my heart that this is necessary for us to
3:37
look at that way. Surprise people be like, oh, the Bible doesn't
3:39
talk about alcohol. The Bible doesn't talk about drinking and smoking and drugs and
3:45
all. Yes, the Bible does speak on that, and it would make
3:49
sense to me right why the Bible speaks on it. Because God knows.
3:53
God knows how we think. God knows how we respond. God knows that
4:00
sometimes if we continue to ignore the boundaries that God set for us because he
4:08
loves us, not because he wants to restrict us of anything. Is because
4:11
he loves us. The reason why I said, say, the Bible doesn't
4:14
restrict us of anything, because the Bible says we could do all things.
4:17
All things are permissible. The thing is that all things are not beneficial for
4:25
us to do. I've literally sat next to people, young brothers and the
4:30
Lord while I was a young Christian. I was born again, probably like
4:32
weeks and I sat down next to these two brothers in front of a church
4:35
building and they smell like marijuana. So I called him, I said,
4:40
why you smell like wheed? And they were like, well, the Bible
4:43
says in Genesis. They ripped open the Bible that God created all the plants
4:46
and the seeds. But therefore, since he created all the plants and the
4:49
seeds, it's okay for us to continue smoking ganja, marijuana, cannabis plant.
4:57
I was like, that doesn't make any sense, and I didn't have
5:00
a rebuttal at that time, but I knew it didn't make any sense.
5:02
And then later on, as I grew in my faith, I realized that
5:05
God did create all the seeds and the plants. He also created poison ivory.
5:10
But you don't want to touch that, right, so be careful.
5:15
Let's use discernment when we're reading the scriptures. God's Holy Spirit will lead us
5:20
into all truth. He won't lead us into all weirdness. He won't lead
5:25
us into all error. He'll lead us into all truth. So first three
5:28
the sixth nineteen will start with that scripture. Today, I'm calling this one
5:31
abusive behavior. I pray and I hope that this will bless you a man,
5:35
as we seek God, first, seek his kingdom, seek his righteousness,
5:40
and everything else will be added onto us. So let's pray first.
5:43
After we pray, we'll share this out for like sixty seconds. Help a
5:46
brother share this out, help me with the algorithm on these social media streets.
5:49
So, Father God, thank you, Love God, that you are
5:53
our guide, our protector. Thank you, Lord God, that you have
5:56
changed us, transformed us, and renewed us, and restored us and redeemed
6:00
us. For such a time as this, I prayed, Lord God,
6:02
that you will continue to pray bless us and continue to protect our mind physically,
6:08
emotionally and spiritually, our body physically, emotionally and spiritually. I thank
6:12
you, Lord God for health to the body, strength to the bones for
6:15
me, myself, my family, my wife, our whole household, our
6:18
whole entire bloodline from both sides of our marriage. And I pray the same
6:23
power of God over every single person that's listening and is watching. I pray
6:28
that over them and their families as well. That you are a God,
6:30
Lord God, who says you are God who protects You are a god who
6:34
sets boundaries. Because you love us, Lord Jesus, and because you set
6:38
boundaries, we're gonna pay attention to those boundaries. And we're not gonna past
6:43
those boundaries. And if we do, Low God, forgive us, because
6:47
this consequences for that. But in those consequences, Low God, you are
6:50
still kind to us. We still forgive us, You still bring us out,
6:55
you still restore us, and you still redeem us. So I speak
6:59
life, and I thank you logut for this time in Jesus name, Amen
7:03
and Amen. While I was quiet on a chat Hopefully this thing sent the
7:09
sent the notifications out that I'm live. Sometimes it just doesn't send it out
7:15
for whatever reason. Right, conspiracy mind of mind says that's being blocked,
7:19
but God says, keep on going. Amen, this will get to the
7:24
people that God wants these messages to get out to. On the morning,
7:27
DEVL. So we're gonna take sixty seconds to help me share this out.
7:30
When I come back, we're gonna dive in abusive behavior. First Corinthians,
7:33
chapter number six. Let me see what make sure I got this right,
7:39
First Corinthians, chapter number six, Verse number nineteen. That'll be our starting
7:43
point here on the morning, Deval. I'll be right back. Hey,
9:18
man, my apologies for the podcast and for the radio. I forgot to
9:22
put the background music up today. It's morning for me, real early in
9:26
the morning, and I'm feeling that effect right now. Amen. But God
9:30
is good. So my apologies. You had a minute of total silence.
9:35
Maybe you could have used that still to help me share this out, and
9:37
maybe you could use that to refocus on what we're doing. Amen. Maybe
9:41
that was for a purpose, and maybe God wanted it that way. Amen.
9:45
So I start thinking like that every now and then because I'm like,
9:46
wait, why did I not put the music back? Well, but it's
9:50
all good. It's all good. The reason why I can't put the music
9:52
on the social media streets is because they will block the video. And then
9:58
since first Strinth shot the No. Number one versus six to nineteen, Amen,
10:03
let me get that ready for those who are watching on the screen,
10:05
amen, and listening for those who are watching, you already know. I
10:09
put the scriptures on the screen as much as I can. Sometimes I'm not
10:13
available to put the scripture on the screen because sometimes I'm not my studio want
10:20
to do these morning DeVos. But for the most part God has been faithful.
10:22
Well, God is always faithful. But for the most part, I've
10:26
been able to put this on the screen. Amen. Let me get my
10:28
facts straight. Amen. God's always faithful, even if I'm not faithful,
10:33
not all not Jesus, sometimes it's faithful. He's always faithful. My bad,
10:37
I didn't mean to say that. Sister Joyne, Good morning, God
10:39
bless you. Welcome back to the morning DeVos. Good to see my sister
10:43
and my friend on the morning devo. Amen. So let's go for it.
10:46
Let me see if I got this ready. Amen. It looks like
10:50
we're good. There he goes abusive behavior. It's a heavy topic for the
10:54
morning, but this is what we face as we get older. Pressure.
11:01
Some teenagers think that only kids, preteens, teenagers, and young adults have
11:07
peer pressure. They realize that adults go through peer pressure as well. Last
11:11
time I checked, there's still people out there that are fully grown adults,
11:16
and they they want to do these abusive things and man, and they ask
11:22
for us to do it too, and if we don't, you know,
11:24
they call it so common names even as adults. It's crazy. Right.
11:28
First, Connythans six nineteens and twenty says, or do you not know that
11:33
your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have
11:39
from God? That's a question. Some people don't know that I'm born again,
11:43
so I could do whatever I want. I got fire insurance, so
11:46
let me smoke and drink and you know, do abuse on my own body
11:50
because I'm still going to Heaven. Careful with that way of thinking, because
11:56
we are the temple, a temple of the Holy Spirit that's within us.
12:01
You are not your own where you were brought with the price, So glorify
12:07
God in your body if I got in your body, So what goes into
12:13
your body? Well, if you're into your abusive behaviors like drinking drugs,
12:18
those things go into your body, and thank god, they're temporary things that
12:22
go into your body that they understanding your body. But I must confess that
12:26
I've never done hard drugs, eat pills, stuff like that, cocaine.
12:33
I've never did that, even when I wasn't saved. Why because I saw
12:37
some of my friends that I was growing up with take pills and never recover,
12:43
take drugs, never recover, although it was a temporary situation, but
12:48
those things work through their brains and they never recovered from it. So when
12:54
I saw that with my own eyes, I said, I never want to
12:56
have that experience. That's I don't never want to go through that. And
13:03
it's a symbol over here popping up. Don't want that to show. And
13:09
it's my Calendarly, that's that's strange. Okay, let's go again. Here's
13:16
another scripture for you. Bonus Ephesians shot the five verse eighteen or Phisians chapter
13:22
five, verse eighteen, do not get drunk with wine. And when I
13:26
see the scriptures say do not or do I believe those are commandments. So
13:31
the Bible saying in Ephesians shot the five verse eighteen Apostle Paul is an amplified
13:35
version, says, do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness.
13:43
For all my friends or sipping saints, he'll drink alcohol and wine and
13:52
they say it's okay, I'm not going to hell. Well, I say,
13:56
yeah, you probably won't be going to hell for drinking wine. But
14:01
you're inviting hell to you right then and there. Why because this wickedness corruptions
14:07
stupidity. But be filled with the Holy Spirit and constantly guided by Him at
14:16
any moment given time, at least in my experience. Amen, I'm high
14:22
in the spirit at any moment. I could be one way like down and
14:28
out, and then I'm filling up the Holy Spirit, which is always with
14:31
me, by the way, and always with you if you're born again.
14:33
This whole thing about spend more time with God is confusing me because I'm like,
14:39
how could you spend any more time with God? Then you have Holy
14:43
Spirit in you that's spending time with you daily every moment. Or maybe maybe
14:52
they're saying, spend some time in His word, which we do in the
14:54
mornings, right, And I believe in His word is where we get life.
15:00
Where we find life, eternal life, which is Christ. We find
15:05
God's word to benefit us, to know more of it, to memorize scripture.
15:09
Maybe that's what they're saying. But some other people, I believe,
15:13
they think that there's some kind of higher level of Christ's consciousness that you need
15:18
to pursue. And I'm not convinced. Amen. I believe Holy Spirit,
15:24
it's constantly guiding us. Holy Spirit is in us dwelling. Holy Spirit is
15:31
in our body. We are a temple of the Holy Spirit. And also
15:39
the side scripture. You could look it up. Proverbs twenty three and twenty,
15:43
Proverbs twenty three and twenty. I look at a old school in the
15:46
scripture when I put myself back on the screen. Amen, Proverbs twenty three
15:50
twenty. So there you have it. We are without excuse. We know
15:56
the scripture, We know the scriptures that talk about it. Proverbs three,
16:00
Proverbs twenty three twenty. Let's see if I find a real fast. But
16:03
we have the scriptures, and this whole thing about oh, well, you
16:07
know that you're a belief. That's not my belief. God speaks to me
16:11
differently and all that that's cool, right, But when we come down and
16:18
we get honest, we come down from that high way of thinking, and
16:22
we be honest. We know that the scriptures apply us for all believers.
16:25
Amen. Proverbs twenty three twenty. And if you look at the proverbs in
16:29
my Bible, a lot of highlights, right, because I decided to go
16:33
all through the proverbs and really apply this to my life. Do I apply
16:38
everything? I try to? But I now that I'm looking at these highlights,
16:44
it's time for me to go back into these proverbs. Proverbs twenty three,
16:47
verse number twenty. Amen, And lo and behold, I have written
16:53
something right next to that verse, because don't follow your heart lead it.
17:00
If you can see that. You can't see it, but it's there.
17:02
Don't follow your heart, believe it. That's what I wrote. The scripture
17:04
says in Proverbs twenty three twenty it says you're not mixed with wine Bible wine
17:12
bibbers. No, no, no, I never said that word wine bibbers.
17:18
Do not mix with them or with gluttonous eaters of meat Verse twenty one.
17:25
For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty and drowsiness will clothe
17:30
the man with rags. Amen, scripture is clear. Even though I never
17:37
used the word wine bibbers. I'm not going to mix with people who say
17:44
they have believers right and yet they still get drunk and high. Can't mix
17:48
with them because it's it's clear that the scripture says bad character corrupts good morals.
18:00
In other words, bad company corrupts good people good character. None of
18:03
us are good technically, but you know what I mean. So if I'm
18:07
away from alcohol and drugs for years and years and years and I bump into
18:11
some believers that decide that they still want to be involved in that, I
18:15
can't mix with those people. Why because then I'm guilty by association, and
18:21
association sometimes becomes a problem. It becomes a peer pressure, it becomes something
18:27
that abusive behavior is knocking on my door. Amen. So why is there
18:33
separation between believers and the world looks at it and say, you guys are
18:38
not even altogether. You're supposed to be in union and union and unity and
18:41
unified. Yeah, we're supposed to be. But some believers that say they're
18:48
in the body because I don't really be. I don't even think they're saved.
18:51
But I don't know. I don't know the hearts of men. God
18:53
knows the hearts of men, so I don't judge. But if you're saying
18:56
you're a believer and you're still doing and practicing abusive behavior and the Word of
19:02
God says that it's wickedness and corruption, then I kind of like, stay
19:07
away, man, just my discernment, my character. I just stay away
19:14
because it won't do me any good, it won't benefit me any good.
19:17
What I'll do I'll keep my distance, pray. Prayer is key, and
19:21
I'll also be a place of encouragement. Brianna, God, bless you.
19:25
Good morning, I bless you. Welcome to the morning. Devo, good
19:27
morning to you as well. So I'm gonna read my statement again. The
19:33
Christian's body is a temple of God. Please don't abuse it with drugs and
19:37
alcohol. Hey man, But Sam, I remember way back, used to
19:44
smoke and drink. Yes, that was me, the same Sam, change
19:48
man though. But yes, that's why when I see somebody in that situation,
19:52
I don't point fingers and saying you gotta do this, and you gotta
19:55
do that, or you're gotta go to hell. Listen, I already know
19:59
you bring hell to you. You bring demonic influence to you when you're drunk
20:06
with wine because people say, well, we could drink wine. The Bible
20:08
says it's good for your stomach to stand. The third, yeah, a
20:11
lot of things are good for us, and we don't even eat it.
20:15
Right. The things that we see on the TikTok videos that these mixes that
20:18
I'm actually doing, and man, it's really helping me out, it's benefiting
20:22
me health wise, but I don't want to do them. The flesh is
20:26
like, now, that's nasty, it doesn't taste good. So the things
20:29
that we should be doing, our flesh fights, the things we should not
20:33
be doing, our flesh invites. Say that again, the things that we
20:37
should be doing our flesh fights, and the things that we shouldn't be doing
20:41
our flesh invites. And man, because the flesh is a monster. I
20:45
even wrote a book about it. And I owe somebody this book. I
20:48
forgot who was I owe somebody this book. So if you're watching and they
20:53
said, Sam, yeah it's me. I was the one you say,
20:56
usually give the book to. I have this copy here for a reason.
21:00
I just forgot who I promised the copy to amen, because life, life
21:06
goes by so fast. Amen, so listen, that's what we have here.
21:11
And when you're drinking and you're abusing drugs and alcohol, at the end
21:17
result, it's not going to benefit you in any way. Yeah, you
21:19
might numb yourself to some problems and issues in life, because I think that's
21:23
the only thing it does and numbs you. You're trying to forget the problems.
21:29
But guess what when you sober up, when you come off that high,
21:32
the problems are still there. Amen. That's like certain drugs that the
21:37
medical field they give you, right, pharmacies give you these drugs and it
21:41
just numbs the situation. It doesn't cure you. It just numbs you.
21:47
And then you become reliant or you become really addicted to those painkillers, things
21:52
that numb your body because it takes the pain away temporarily. That's why one
21:59
time I had knee pain and I walked into the knee doctor limping. I
22:03
said, I got pain in my knee. So he took an X ray.
22:06
You didn't see anything serious, he said, you have early signs of
22:11
all not alzheime, excuse me of authritis because of your age, and I
22:15
said, well, if that's the case, why am I limping? And
22:18
you know what he told me. He said, it must be all in
22:19
your mind. Literally, professional doctors told me it must be all in my
22:23
minds. Like so, I'm thinking that my knee is hurting, so that
22:27
that's why I'm limping right now. I said, do me a favor of
22:30
take an MRI. So you set up an MRI. I went back to
22:33
the MRI. So, yeah, just like I suspected early signs of authoritis,
22:37
I come against that in the name of Jesus. So I asked them,
22:40
what is the cure for this? Or what is a remedy for this?
22:45
A remedy I see your comments. I'm going to get to it in
22:48
one second. What is the remedy for this natural remedy? And his partner
22:53
walked in and he said, what should you ask us? What I need
22:56
to know because they wanted to give me that feel good shot, called it
23:00
the courtosome shot. And then if you give me that courtosome shot, it'll
23:03
numb the pain off my knee. Then I'll feel like I want to go
23:06
play football, baseball, and basketball like I used to when I was younger.
23:10
And then when the courtisoon is gonna wear off, I'll have more damage
23:14
to my knee. So I didn't want to do that. I just wanted
23:17
a remedy. So his partner walked in and said, just tell the man,
23:22
and he said, look up lu kosamine. Go to Google. Look
23:25
up close to me. I said, glu close tomine. So when I
23:27
got home, I looked it up and it was too merick turmeric. Some
23:32
people use that for seasoning and food. So I went on Amazon and I
23:36
got a bottle of one hundred percent two meric pills. And when I got
23:40
the bottle, boble said. The bottle said take two turmeric pills a day.
23:45
Every day. I took it for two weeks straight. It was still
23:48
like fifteen pills left or whatever the even number is, twenty pills left or
23:53
whatever. The number of pills were left, and guess what pain went away?
23:59
Never had knee pain again. All for the glory of God, and
24:02
Him by way of Holy Spirit, guided me into being wise and knowing exactly
24:07
what I needed to take Amen. That's not how good God is. He'll
24:10
use medicine and he'll use natural herbs and spices to help us heal Amen.
24:15
I can't say enough. Grieving the Holy Spirit is worse than grieving anyone.
24:19
This is Brianna Paul says, be sober. And if we're putting substance in,
24:26
it means there's unhealed places in our hearts that Jesus wants to heal.
24:30
Amen. That's a good point. If God is telling us do not and
24:33
we do it anyway, and then we're trying to replace the healing of God
24:37
with the healing of our feelings, trying to heal what we feel right by
24:44
abusing substances. Wow, that's good. That's good. Thank you so much
24:48
for your comment. Brianna rad has sing good morning God, bless you,
24:52
hallelujah, Praise God. God is great and greatly to be praised. And
24:57
Jesus might name men, I'm with you. I'm with you, amen,
25:02
rebut that in Jesus' name they have lost my respect. Amen. I think
25:07
you're talking about the medical field where the pharmacists and the medical field getting together
25:11
making all this money on all these kind of drugs. No thanks, they
25:15
are money mongers these days. So glad you didn't do it. Yeah,
25:19
I knew I wasn't gonna do that. Courtozone shot because I already know myself,
25:25
amen, and I was being honest. I was like, you give
25:26
me that courtozone shots that take all the pain away. I'm gonna feel like
25:30
going back and playing basketball for ball and baseball like I used to when I
25:33
was young. But anything that you do and access like, do you do
25:38
too much of I'm going to call that abuse. Amen. You could be
25:45
abusing the game, the video game. I see some kids and they were
25:48
up five, six, seven hours in the night and then they have to
25:52
go to school the next day. They abused their body and they didn't get
25:56
any sleep. Right, So now the consequences is bad day, rough mornings
26:02
and stuff like that. Doctors, Yes, sir, God gave us all
26:04
the plants for healing, all the plants we need for healing as well.
26:08
All that we need is in the plants. Yes, and we could do
26:11
that. We could use what God has already created, because listen, sciences
26:17
like this, science needs everything that God created for science to work. So
26:22
in the beginning, God created that heavens and the earth right there, that
26:25
statement right there, what God said there was ten words in Genesis chapter one.
26:30
That's what science needs time, space and matter and God already showed us
26:36
that he has it all. So we could look at God's creation and do
26:41
scientific study on God's creation, and we'll find the truth. We'll find what
26:47
we need. We'll find what's necessary a mean for us to live a healthy
26:49
life. So first Current Things chapter six, Read the whole chapter for yourself.
26:53
Ephesian chapter five. Read the whole chapter for yourself. And I gave
26:56
youl bonus. I think it was Proverbs twenty three or twenty twenty three.
27:00
I forgot what I was reading. Amen, look at let's rewind to take
27:04
amen. As a matter of fact, let me not be irresponsible, and
27:07
let me see what the scripture was. It was Proverbs twenty three, verse
27:11
number twenty. Read that as well, and then you'll look at these abusive
27:15
things. Maybe you're struggling with some abusive behavior in your life at the time
27:21
of this recording. I pray Jesus will stop you in your tracks and show
27:25
you the truth of what you're doing to your own body. In Jesus name.
27:29
Amen, So thank you so much. I'm out of time. Thank
27:30
you so much for hanging out with me for this morning. Devo, I
27:33
bless you all in the name of Jesus God bless you, God keep you,
27:37
and remember always that God is good. Peace,
