Transcript
- 0:05Good morning, Good morning, Good morning family God. Welcome back to the
- 0:08morning Devo. It's your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ Sam Rock so winners with
- 0:12a Z or RG. And you know something. Today is Friday, so
- 0:16you already know authentic imitationalogy is in full effect. This is episode number seventy
- 0:22one, I believe seventy one, Amen, and this one it's called Jesus
- 0:30is the only Way. Now, let me ask you a question right off
- 0:33the bat. Does that sound arrogant for me? Saying that Jesus is the
- 0:37only way, right, He's the only way to life, freedom, eternal
- 0:43life, to God, to the God had right, Jesus is the only
- 0:48way to the Father? Is that arrogant? Does that sound arrogant? Does
- 0:52that sound like I'm positioning myself and my belief system above everybody else's. Jesus
- 0:58is the only way today on authentic imitationology, Amen and man, the question
- 1:04is is it loving or narrow minded to tell others and to me is to
- 1:10tell everybody that Jesus is the only way to God? Why or why not?
- 1:15Think about it? Amen? Think about it? Why or why not?
- 1:19The only way to God? But that's what the word says, actually
- 1:26that's what the Lord says. Amen. And the question has to be was
- 1:30the Lord arrogant a pastor Michael Jakes, God, bless you, praise the
- 1:36Lord. Yes, God is good, not arrogance, just truth. Amen.
- 1:42But the world, the world system the way even I used to think
- 1:48before I got saved, before Jesus came into my life, into my heart
- 1:51and transformed me and continues to transform me. I thought the story of Jesus
- 1:56being the only way, the truth and the life was for other people.
- 2:00Will never personalized it. Never thought it was for me. I thought it
- 2:02was for those people who were Catholics, or who went to church, or
- 2:06the people who were in those Christian circles or Godly circles. That's what I
- 2:12thought before I was saved. That said, well, if he's the only
- 2:15way, he's not my only way. That's how I was thinking. And
- 2:19guess what, the world still thinks that way. So Jesus could be the
- 2:22only way for you, Sam, But Jesus is not the only way for
- 2:23me. There's many ways to get to the Father, there's many ways to
- 2:29get to God. We're talking about the same God, and people say I
- 2:32have discussions with the Latter day saying to have discussions. The discussion was with
- 2:38Muslims. They both say that the same Jesus that I'm talking about is the
- 2:43same Jesus that's in their scripture out time about time out, the same Jesus.
- 2:47If it was the same Jesus, then Jesus would be God in the
- 2:52Koran, and he would be God in the Book of Mormon. But he's
- 2:55not. So it's not the same Jesus. Amen. So Jesus is the
- 2:59only I want you to get thinking about that. Welcome to the weekend edition

- 5:29Lord God that you gave me that revelation, and you gave my brothers and
- 5:31sisters in Christ that revelation by way of the Holy Spirit. Thank you,
- 5:35Lord God, that you give us the courage to speak the truth. And

- 5:55the gospel message of the Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord God for what

- 6:11us, transformed us, renewed us, restored us, and we are so
- 6:14forever grateful for that. I'm so forever grateful for that. In Jesus' name,
- 6:18I pray a heat of protection over every single person that's connected now who
- 6:21will connect later. I pray a heat of protection peace over their hearts and
- 6:26minds. Peace be still, God, God, God, and protect us
- 6:30Jesus and I actual God, that you would dispatch your arkwin angels, minister
- 6:32angels, and warring angels to annihilate the tactics of the enemy that he tries
- 6:38to plan to discourage us or try to distract us in this life that we
- 6:42live. I pray this by faith, knowing that you hear my prayers and
- 6:46your word says that the prayers are the righteous availeth much. Thank you Lo
- 6:49God for the availeth much part that we can pray and put our faith to
- 6:55action knowing that you hear and you respond according to your word and purpose.
- 6:59For every single individual that's representing them and their families right now in Jesus Holy
- 7:04Name, Praise by faith and the saints say Amen and Amen Amen, Brother
- 7:10Maurice, God blessed. Good morning, welcome back to the Morning Deal.
- 7:13It was good to see my friend and my brother, my beautiful wife you
- 7:15need Lopez sends morning bless us to everyone. God bless you, babe.
- 7:19Thank you for coming through and sharing your comment and you're blessing. Amen.
- 7:25I got some amens here. So sixty seconds, let's help me share this
- 7:28out so we can break the algorithm. And you know, the more activity
- 7:31we have on the live, the more people will get to see what happened
- 7:36today by way of the spirit. Amen. So let's go for the minute.
- 7:41Sixty seconds, help me share this out. When we come back,
- 7:43we'll get it right into John chapter number ten, verses number seven to ten.
- 7:47I'll be right back. Amen. Amen, we're back. Let's go
- 9:09for it. Let's see what the word of God has for us today.
- 9:11Authentic inventationology number seventy one. Made to be faithful to this whole idea.
- 9:18He meant that he gave me. He put these two words together, authentic
- 9:22and the imitation, And I said, how can you have something that's real
- 9:26and the imitation at the same time, And then he gave me this authentic
- 9:31imitationology. We're trying to really imitate God by following the example of the Lord
- 9:39Jesus Christ. We're trying to imitate the most successful man who has ever walked
- 9:43on this earth, the Lord Jesus Christ from Nazareth of Nazareth Amen, him
- 9:48being the god Man. And he says, there's only one way to the
- 9:52Father, and you have to go through him. Does that sound arrogant,
- 9:56like I asked you earlier? Well, let's see, men, I know
- 10:01the world thinks we were saying that we're better right than everybody else, and
- 10:07the godspel message doesn't say that. So they're making the assumption that what we're
- 10:13saying is that if you don't go this way, then you're less than us
- 10:16because we have the best way. I believe we have the right way.
- 10:20I believe we have the right life, and I believe that we have the
- 10:24right truth, the right truth. Amen. But nowhere in that statement does
- 10:30it say that I'm bettering you because of that. But I know where I'm
- 10:35from, I know what it means. That I know that I'm creating an
- 10:39image of God. I know who determines what's right or wrong right by the
- 10:45authority of the power of God. And I know where I'm going after my
- 10:48life here has ended. So although I might not be better than you or
- 10:54better than anyone, I just have a better way and a better understanding.
- 11:00And you can have that better understanding too. Right now we have to do
- 11:03is put your whole faith and trust in the Lord Jesus. Amen. He'll
- 11:07forgive you for their sins. He'll place this Holy Spirit to live dwell inside
- 11:11of his temple, which is a living temple, the body of Christ.
- 11:16And then you'll understand the scriptures clearer, because he'll lead you by way of
- 11:22Holy Spirit into all truth, into all lives. Amen. And he'll guide
- 11:26you and guard you and protect you. He'll love you or comfort you.
- 11:28Amen. He'll be your helper. You can't lose. Put your over and
- 11:33faith in the Lord today. If that's you right now, do it.
- 11:37Admit that you're a sinner, Go to Jesus, ask the Lord for forgiveness.
- 11:41He'll forgive you, amen, and cleanse you from all on righteousness and
- 11:45all wickedness. That's what the Word says, then he'll live inside of you
- 11:50by way of Holy Spirit. Then will guide you the rest through your way.
- 11:54What do you have to lose? Amen? Over Sam, how could
- 11:56you know that's true? I'm telling you it's true because I'm experiencing God every
- 12:01day since two thousand and one. And I can tell you a story upon
- 12:05story, experience upon experience, over and over again, how God has shown
- 12:11up in my life verbally through his word, through other people, Amen,
- 12:16through the scriptures, miracles, signs, wonders, you name it. God
- 12:24is bigger than my idea of who he is. Check that out. He's
- 12:28bigger than my idea of who he is. But he's God. Amen.
- 12:31And that's why I share this. I think I share this because I have
- 12:35nothing else to do. I share it because I believe this is the most
- 12:37important thing to do to share the Gospel message. So let's go for it.
- 12:41For those who are just listening, welcome back, Amen. I'm so
- 12:46happy that you're with us. Amen. Authentic Imitationology. This episode number seventy
- 12:52one. We're calling this one Jesus is the Way. No, it's called
- 12:56Jesus is the only way. Let's go. John Chapter ten, verses seven
- 13:01to ten. So Jesus again says to them, so mind you, this
- 13:07is the Lord Jesus speaking out of his own mouth. He says, truly,
- 13:09truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
- 13:18The metaphor right, We know obviously that Jesus is not a door with
- 13:22the doorknob that you open and close. He's using a metaphor, a man
- 13:26the way he would speak to the people through parables, through metaphors, And
- 13:31he says, I am the door. So think of a door of the
- 13:35sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep
- 13:43did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by
- 13:52me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture,
- 14:01in other word, for peace, comfort, safety. The thief comes
- 14:05only to what he's making a plain. The Lord Jesus makes the plain.
- 14:09The thief comes to do what steal only steal, no and kill only steal,
- 14:18kill, no and destroy. If it's not bad enough that you are
- 14:24robbed by the enemy, he's trying to rob you. If it's not bad
- 14:28enough, he's trying to kill you. He's trying to destroy you. Now
- 14:33Jesus says, I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
- 14:39So this is all with Lord Jesus speaking to the people, speaking to us
- 14:43right now, but wave his spirit. He's saying, listen, this is
- 14:46true what I'm saying. Listen up to what I'm saying. I am the
- 14:50door to the sheep. Right, I'm the door to the sheep. Imagine
- 14:58the crowd of people lining up waiting to go through another door. Amen,
- 15:05that is not the door that Jesus is represented. That's what we're having right
- 15:07now in the world. People are trying to find another door to get to
- 15:13Heaven, another door to get to the Father, another door to get prosperity,
- 15:16another door to get blessed, another door to find God. And Jesus
- 15:20is plainly telling the people and telling us and telling the world. I say
- 15:24to you, I am the door of the sheep all who came before me.
- 15:30So Jesus that many that other people who came before him. This whole
- 15:33thing about Jesus wasn't the first or Christianity wasn't in the first religion. We
- 15:39understand that who says that it was. I don't know where these arguments are
- 15:43coming from Jesus said, he's the door. If anyone enters through him,
- 15:48you will be saved and will go in and out and find passion and find
- 15:52comfort. Amen, and well, God bless you. Good morning. Welcome
- 15:56back to the morning, Devo. It's good to see you. She know
- 16:00my voice and a stranger, they will not follow, Yes, because we
- 16:04know the voice of the living, holy, righteous, loving, all powerful
- 16:10God. So why would we follow another voice? I know the other voices
- 16:15out there and trying to get our attention, but a member. Once you
- 16:18know the voice of the Lord, you won't have to go to another voice
- 16:22for direction. You don't have to go to another voice to go to the
- 16:27door that leads you to eternal life. We have the door and Jesus Christ
- 16:33the Lord. Amen, And he leads to eternal life, freedom, righteousness,
- 16:38holiness, health, wealth, prosperity. Can we keep on going with
- 16:45the list? Absolutely? So. Jesus says, he's the only way.
- 16:51And he tells you if you want to go the other way, there's one
- 16:53who's after you too, after your heart, after your mind. But he's
- 16:57not there to give your life. He's there to dis enjoy your life,
- 17:00to steal from your life and to kill your life. And that's the enemy,
- 17:04the devil, and he has the system rocking. He has everybody thinking
- 17:10bad is good, good is bad. He is everybody thinking that wrong is
- 17:14right and right is wrong. Is everybody thinking to go left when God says
- 17:18to go right? He has everybody thinking did God really say this? And
- 17:21that God really say that? He has everybody. And when I say everybody,
- 17:25that's one of those words hyperbole. I know it's not everyone obviously,
- 17:30because we're believers, we're born again. There's a remnant of us living in
- 17:34this world right now. Man. So when I say everybody, that's a
- 17:37hyperbole, I just mean a lot of people are still thinking the old way,
- 17:42and a lot of people are now in the new way, the new
- 17:45life that God offers through Christ by the Holy Spirit, Yes, man,
- 17:49well, by the Holy Spirit. Our spiritual relationship with God is spiritual.
- 17:55It's spiritual. It's not carnal. Right. We are not hearing things,
- 18:00and we're hearing from the voice of the Lord. This is an example of
- 18:02how I know him when the Lord is speaking. Amen. The thief is
- 18:04a deceiver, yes he is. And there's no truth in him, and
- 18:08there's only darkness, no light in him, Amen, even though he could
- 18:11imitate and come as an angel of light. Amen. But the darkness shows
- 18:17up as soon as spirit God shows up and overshines that so called light that
- 18:21the enemy tries to present himself in that light. Let mean goes to a
- 18:26timer. Amen. An example of how I know that God is speaking and
- 18:33I hear his voice. I was gonna say nine out of ten, but
- 18:37ten out of ten times when the Lord speaks a man, when I hear
- 18:41his voice by way of Holy Spirit, he asks of me, or asks
- 18:45me to do something that I know one hundred percent that I cannot do without
- 18:48him. But I'm also comforted in knowing that if he asks me to do
- 18:52something a man, that means he's gonna give it a power to get it
- 18:56done. If he asks me to do something in this world, he's gonna
- 18:59give me the power, the energy, the wisdom, the knowledge, the
- 19:03people to gather around or gather with to get what he acts to be done.
- 19:08He's not playing games with you, He's not playing games with me and
- 19:11say, oh, go ahead, do this, move this mountain, and
- 19:14then he says, all right, I'm gone. You figure it out.
- 19:17That's not the God that we serve the God that we serve, he'll ask
- 19:21of you and asks of me to do something that we know, if we're
- 19:23honest, we can't do it without the Lord, but with him we could
- 19:26do all things because He gives us the strength to do it. That's how
- 19:30I don't want to hear the voice of God when I'm hearing my own voice.
- 19:33Usually is usually something I can do by myself, doesn't take a lot.
- 19:38It won't take God necessarily for me to do the things that I'm telling
- 19:42myself to do. And then the other voices that you hear. Normally,
- 19:47the voice of the enemy tells you, Oh, you can't do that.
- 19:49If it's something that God calls us to do, the enemy's job is to
- 19:52say, oh, you can't do that. It's impossible. Look at what
- 19:56you did. Look who you are, Look where you came from. You
- 19:57don't have this, you don't have that, you don't have this connections,
- 20:00you don't have that, money, you don't have that. You hear the
- 20:02voice amen, the voice of discouragement, the voice that's lying to you,
- 20:06the voice that's trying to steal from you, the voice that's trying to kill
- 20:08you, the voice that's trying to destroy you, but he has the world
- 20:12and entrance. The world system is evil, but it's painted as something good.
- 20:18The world system is broke, busted, and disgusted, but it paints
- 20:21itself as something prosperous. The world system offers you whatever the flesh wants,
- 20:26and a lot of people go for that, and they go through those doors
- 20:30instead of going through the door that Jesus said he is. He's the door
- 20:34to the sheep. Amen. Jesus said, I am the door of the
- 20:40sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers. Amen. They're
- 20:44trying to steal from you, rob from you. But the Lord is not
- 20:48a thief, even though at the end he's coming like a thief in the
- 20:52night. The men unexpected, Amen, but we're expecting him. We're eager
- 20:56for his return. But unexpected he's gonna come. Crack the sky open,
- 21:00and are you ready for that? This is going to happen. Manuel says,
- 21:04the weapon of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God,
- 21:10to pull down of strongholds. Amen. Amen, praise the Lord right.
- 21:17Just the joys. So listen, remember the pandemic twenty twenty, and I
- 21:23think March, the world shut down. Stores were locked, some doors were
- 21:30locked right, all the doors except for the one that everyone entered through the
- 21:36main door. So they were trying to make everything. All the doors weren't
- 21:41opening. The supermarkets, all the doors weren't opening. The stores. They
- 21:45were trying to put one door in and one door out right the man entry
- 21:49now before, I don't want to go on a round. They have four
- 21:52minutes. But these essential things that they kept open, at least in the
- 21:59United States, for nonsense, state liquor store was open. Still country was
- 22:06shut down, but the state liquor store was open. Did that sound anything
- 22:11that of health of value? And then mind you, they were trying to
- 22:15shut down. Churches ran over, but you know what I mean. So
- 22:19they were trying to do things in order. But stores were trying to use
- 22:23wisdom restaurants stores one door main door or else they could be denied entry if
- 22:30you didn't go through that one door. Right During the pandemic, A lot
- 22:33of people grumbled about this, but it didn't change the facts that the world
- 22:37was shut down, that the virus was killing people. Thank God, I
- 22:42didn't know people that died from coronavirus, or did I maybe I did a
- 22:49man, So my apologies to those who I knew about that past or family
- 22:55member right now that is listening and said, yeah, so and so and
- 22:57so and so, I just don't remember. Remember a large number of people
- 23:03that died from that. So if you wanted to get into the store,
- 23:07there was one door open, you allowed in, but it had to be
- 23:11through that one door. Why is it that people understood that and understood that
- 23:18there's only one way in to the establishment that you had to get your food
- 23:22or whatever from, and there was no really problem or issue with that.
- 23:26But why is it that there's a lot of problem with people in their hearts
- 23:29and minds that Jesus says he's the one door to enter through him. You
- 23:34see that. So if you look at the natural pandemics shut the world down.
- 23:40People were making sure that they were trying to do things in order keeping
- 23:44us separate six feet apart. And there was one entrance to most things that
- 23:48you would entering in one exit or one entrance and another exit, but there
- 23:53was only one. And people understood that, and they knew the value of
- 23:57being the one way in, the one way out. The wisdom of this
- 24:02world is contrary to God. Yes, and it fails in comparison to God's
- 24:07wisdom here in PA as well. Yeah, I did. Yeah, in
- 24:11PA they had this system with one way and one way out. The only
- 24:15way to the Father is through Christ Jesus. Of course, amen. But
- 24:21I'm trying to be gentle saying that to the people who are angry and upset
- 24:29about the Lord being the only way. Even had a brother in the Lord
- 24:33years ago, a man that was saved by the Lord. But he wanted
- 24:37to know why is the Lord the only way? Shouldn't there be other ways
- 24:41to the Father? He asked of me, and we were in a parking
- 24:45lot in the Giants supermarket locally. He asked me just to rip out John,
- 24:49the Book of John, out of the scriptures, and you won't have
- 24:52any other place where Jesus is deity or that he's the only way. And
- 24:56I was like, wow, let's have this discussion. We have at it
- 25:00and love got heated at times we're going through the scriptures, but at the
- 25:03end we both cried hugged each other, and I told him, hey,
- 25:06I love you, man, whatever you're going through, whatever you're facing,
- 25:08I'm here and man, because he was going through things in his mind and
