Speaker 1: you so much for coming through. It's been my pleasure,
0:20
Speaker 1: has been an honor. It's been humbling to be here

Speaker 1: for these past years. Man, it's been an amazing how
0:27
Speaker 1: God's word when you apply it next level, Amen, you
0:31
Speaker 1: start to change, transform, things will start to being, things
0:35
Speaker 1: start to be renewed, restored a man. God is the
0:38
Speaker 1: ultimate redeemer, ultimate authority. Amen. And because of that we
0:42
Speaker 1: want to protect that. Because if you have peace with God,
0:46
Speaker 1: you will have the peace of God. And we need
0:49
Speaker 1: to protect our peace. Today's called protect your peace. Stay
0:55
Speaker 1: away from people who try to ruin your peace. Right,
1:02
Speaker 1: try to ruin your peace. Protect it because I know,
1:07
Speaker 1: as long as I've been alive, and I've been on
1:09
Speaker 1: this earth for a little bit, money, fame, fortune, popularity, accolades, position, influence,
1:21
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it nowadays, right, doesn't compare
1:25
Speaker 1: it to peace. You could take all of that, but
1:28
Speaker 1: I just said, you could take it all money, all
1:30
Speaker 1: of it, take it, possessions, take it. If I have
1:33
Speaker 1: to exchange my peace for that, I'm not doing it.
1:37
Speaker 1: I'm not doing That's why I don't move on certain things,
1:39
Speaker 1: certain opportunities. I don't move on it because I know
1:43
Speaker 1: that my peace will be violated. I know that it
1:45
Speaker 1: will put me in the path of people who are
1:48
Speaker 1: trying to ruin my peace. What about you? Peace needs
1:52
Speaker 1: to be protected, So protect your peace today in the morning, Devo,
1:55
Speaker 1: we're gonna be in Proverbs chapter number twenty, verse number three.
1:58
Speaker 1: That's where we're gonna start. Amen. I gottauple of bonus
2:00
Speaker 1: scriptures for you today as well. But we're gonna start
2:03
Speaker 1: a Proverbs chapter twenty, verse number three on today's morning devils. So,
2:07
Speaker 1: if you have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests, Amen,
2:13
Speaker 1: don't hesitate to leaving them the live. That's what we're
2:14
Speaker 1: here for. Amen, don't be shy, right, and there's not
2:18
Speaker 1: gonna be no debates. If you have any common concern
2:21
Speaker 1: it would be respected. Amen. I'm gonna violate your respect.
2:26
Speaker 1: I'm won't violate your peace, Amen. And everyone has an
2:30
Speaker 1: expression express your peace. Protect your peace. Amen. So that way,
2:36
Speaker 1: when you grow in your faith in the grace of God, Amen,
2:41
Speaker 1: you will know how valuable your piece is, the peace
2:45
Speaker 1: of God. If you have peace with God, you will
2:47
Speaker 1: have the peace of God. I tell people that all
2:50
Speaker 1: the time. So I'm trying to clue you into having
2:54
Speaker 1: things right with God. You're peace with God, the peace
3:00
Speaker 1: of God, Amen, and you need to protect it. Nothing
3:04
Speaker 1: more valuable than peace. You try to debate that all
3:08
Speaker 1: you want, Amen. But I could tell you some people
3:11
Speaker 1: who have a lot of what this world offers, but
3:16
Speaker 1: they lack peace, and their life is just running in
3:19
Speaker 1: a rapid wheel of fortune, is running in another direction
3:26
Speaker 1: other than God. Amen. On some of these people I
3:29
Speaker 1: personally know, and it's not working out for them as
3:32
Speaker 1: they planned. They they had these ideas of what it
3:36
Speaker 1: would be like right to get all this stuff, and
3:41
Speaker 1: they got the stuff, but they don't have the peace.
3:43
Speaker 1: Protect your peace, So we go pray first. After we pray,
3:46
Speaker 1: we'll shut us out for like sixty seconds, and on
3:49
Speaker 1: the other side of those sixty seconds will come back
3:52
Speaker 1: and we'll get right into protect your peace. To day
3:54
Speaker 1: on the morning, Deval, are you ready, Father Jesus God
3:58
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Thank you so much. Well what you do.
4:01
Speaker 1: You're an incredible provider. You're a heavenly father. You're a helper,
4:05
Speaker 1: you're a healer, you're a redeemer. You are an ultimate authority.
4:09
Speaker 1: You are the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the true, living, holy, righteous,
4:13
Speaker 1: loving God who purposed a plan for us to live forever.
4:18
Speaker 1: But that plan and the peace of that plan was
4:21
Speaker 1: violated by mankind. Thank you for your grace that you
4:25
Speaker 1: didn't stop us there and just stop humanity. But you
4:30
Speaker 1: had grace upon Adam and Eve, and you have grace
4:32
Speaker 1: upon mankind today. Thank you, Lord God for your love,
4:36
Speaker 1: your mercy. Thank you, Lord God for continuing to protect us,
4:40
Speaker 1: guide us, and guard us through this thing that we
4:42
Speaker 1: call life. As the enemy, the pride of life, the
4:45
Speaker 1: lust of the eyes, the devil, and the world system
4:48
Speaker 1: is trying to take our peace. Help us to stay
4:53
Speaker 1: away from those people who try to ruin our peace.
4:56
Speaker 1: Help us to know how to navigate, to pray for them.
4:59
Speaker 1: Help us to to really show love towards them so
5:02
Speaker 1: that way we won't be wrapped up in their web
5:05
Speaker 1: of deception, of lives of violence or anything like that.
5:09
Speaker 1: Protect us Goddess and Guardess, Lord, I thank you for
5:12
Speaker 1: that protection as a matter of fact, physically, emotionally, and
5:14
Speaker 1: spiritually over my life, my family, myself, my wife, our children,
5:18
Speaker 1: our bloodlines, from the very youngest family member to the
5:21
Speaker 1: very oldest family member, and every single person in between.
5:24
Speaker 1: I pray that also for every single listener, for every
5:27
Speaker 1: single viewer right now, the name of Jesus, that you
5:29
Speaker 1: would do the same for them and their families as well,
5:32
Speaker 1: and we would come together and we rejoice, we would
5:35
Speaker 1: just testify for your goodness and your greatness in our
5:38
Speaker 1: lives and Jesus' name. Pray is by faith. Amen and Amen,
5:42
Speaker 1: Sister jo Wayne, I see you. Good morning, God, bless you.
5:45
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning DeVos. A new week, a
5:47
Speaker 1: new start, and let's go for it, right. Let's go
5:50
Speaker 1: for sixty seconds. Help me share this out and when
5:53
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today's Morning Devo.
5:56
Speaker 1: Protect your peace. I'll be right back, and I'm pressing.
7:20
Speaker 1: I'm pressing all kinds of different buttons here this morning. Amen,
7:23
Speaker 1: missing the target, but we're here. We're back. Let's go
7:27
Speaker 1: for it, ladies and gentlemen. Let's see what the word
7:29
Speaker 1: of God has for us today and the book of Proverbs,
7:35
Speaker 1: there's certain things that God is not pleased with. I
7:38
Speaker 1: know we have a loving God. I know that for sure,
7:40
Speaker 1: testify I know the love of God. But there's also
7:44
Speaker 1: things that God hates. And people don't like to hear
7:46
Speaker 1: that about God. That's one of his traits. He hates,
7:49
Speaker 1: he loves. Hey, man, how else would you know what's
7:53
Speaker 1: right and what's wrong if you don't know what pleases
7:56
Speaker 1: God and what doesn't please God? Right? And the only
7:59
Speaker 1: way into scriptures, the only way we can please God
8:02
Speaker 1: is by what ladies and gentlemen, right, you got it.
8:05
Speaker 1: By faith. It's all the way to please God. So
8:09
Speaker 1: when you violate the promises, the plans, the word of
8:12
Speaker 1: God in somebody else's life, and you cause them pain, hardship,
8:17
Speaker 1: you cause them to lose their peace, you cause them
8:19
Speaker 1: to fall and stumble. God's not pleased with you, and
8:22
Speaker 1: he's not pleased with that action. He's not pleased with
8:24
Speaker 1: those people. Amen. So just we need to recognize who
8:30
Speaker 1: we serve, and realize who we serve, and know who
8:33
Speaker 1: we serve. A man, he's the Prince of Peace, wonderful
8:36
Speaker 1: counselor Almighty God, Amen, he wants us to protect our peace,
8:41
Speaker 1: because when peace is violated, and man, when we lose
8:44
Speaker 1: our peace, we lose some kind of I would say,
8:48
Speaker 1: some kind of relational things with God. I just put
8:53
Speaker 1: it like that, because you can't be angry all the
8:55
Speaker 1: time and call yourself a born again believer. Right, you
8:59
Speaker 1: can't be hating on your brothers, or violating somebody's peace,
9:04
Speaker 1: or being violent with somebody all the time and call
9:07
Speaker 1: yourself a believer. A man, it doesn't make any sense.
9:11
Speaker 1: I know theree people out there that do that, but
9:13
Speaker 1: to me, it's not gonna make sense. I don't think
9:15
Speaker 1: it would ever make sense. So let's go for it.
9:17
Speaker 1: Protect your peace today on the morning, Devo. And it
9:20
Speaker 1: should be every day that we protect our peace. And
9:24
Speaker 1: here we go. Proverb, Chapter twenty, verse three. The Bible
9:27
Speaker 1: says it is an honor for a man to keep
9:31
Speaker 1: away from strife by handling situations with thoughtful foresight. But
9:38
Speaker 1: any fool, any fool, will start a quarrel without regard
9:44
Speaker 1: for the consequences. Now, I don't know about you, but
9:48
Speaker 1: I met people that they start quarrels without regard for
9:52
Speaker 1: any of the consequences. And this is a holy spirit
9:57
Speaker 1: thing to go through situation with thoughtful foresight, situations that
10:02
Speaker 1: pop up right away, holy spirit, self control, food of
10:08
Speaker 1: the spirit that needs to be on full effect, in
10:11
Speaker 1: full effect, it needs to be activated right away, because
10:15
Speaker 1: if not, we're gonna be like the fool. We're gonna
10:18
Speaker 1: quarrel without regard for consequences. And if you notice people
10:23
Speaker 1: who drink right, who get intoxicated, will take drugs, who
10:27
Speaker 1: party the party life, who hang out with people who
10:30
Speaker 1: want to violate other people's peace, you notice that they
10:34
Speaker 1: don't care about consequences, or it seems like they don't
10:39
Speaker 1: care about consequences because they don't know how to handle
10:42
Speaker 1: situations thoughtfully, and they don't have self control obviously if
10:46
Speaker 1: they're in a party life. I used to be in
10:48
Speaker 1: a party life, no self control, no food of the spirit.
10:51
Speaker 1: So therefore I was the fool that will start quarrels
10:55
Speaker 1: without regard for consequences. But on the other end of that,
10:59
Speaker 1: it's an honor for a man to keep away from
11:03
Speaker 1: strife from people who are violent. Amen. Let me read
11:07
Speaker 1: another version of that scripture, so you get that we're
11:11
Speaker 1: supposed to protect our peace, Amen, Because the piece of
11:14
Speaker 1: God is our strength. Part of our strength, they of
11:17
Speaker 1: the Lord is our strength. The piece of God is
11:20
Speaker 1: our reward. Amen. And how we could walk not in anger,
11:24
Speaker 1: not with gains, not under peer pressure to do things
11:28
Speaker 1: that are not pleasing to God, but to hold back
11:32
Speaker 1: against those things. Amen. This version says it is a
11:36
Speaker 1: man's honor to avoid strife. But every food is quick
11:39
Speaker 1: to quarrele. Right, every fool is quick to get it on,
11:44
Speaker 1: regardless of the consequences. Now I smile a little bit
11:48
Speaker 1: because I used to be that person, quick tempered. I
11:51
Speaker 1: know you won't believe that, right, And it takes a
11:55
Speaker 1: lot for me to get angry. But before Christ Jesus
11:59
Speaker 1: saved me and change me and transform my life and
12:02
Speaker 1: still transform my life, I used to always be ready
12:06
Speaker 1: to go for no apparent reason that you would know about.
12:10
Speaker 1: I was just walking around angry from the age of
12:12
Speaker 1: fifteen all the way to the age of thirty. I
12:14
Speaker 1: was angry because I blamed God for taking my dad.
12:17
Speaker 1: A lot of you you know my testimony. My dad
12:19
Speaker 1: died when I was fifteen, so I blamed God because
12:23
Speaker 1: there was no other for me. There was no other explanation.
12:26
Speaker 1: While my dad was taking away from me at such
12:28
Speaker 1: an early age. So I blamed God and from there
12:31
Speaker 1: from fifteen or fifteen years of anger walking around that way,
12:35
Speaker 1: I didn't have no peace. I didn't have I was
12:38
Speaker 1: violating at other people's peace. I didn't have self control.
12:40
Speaker 1: I didn't have the food of the spirit. Amen until
12:43
Speaker 1: thirty years old when God found me where I was.
12:46
Speaker 1: Now he's taken me to where he is. God could
12:49
Speaker 1: do it for your life as well. He could change
12:51
Speaker 1: your situation, change your life, change your attitude, and give
12:55
Speaker 1: you the peace that He wants us to cherish and
12:57
Speaker 1: hold on to. Since the joys. Good morning, God, bless you,
12:59
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning. Devoscuse to see my sister
13:02
Speaker 1: and my friend. So stay away from people who try
13:06
Speaker 1: to ruin your peace. Hey man, peace is man so valuable,
13:11
Speaker 1: especially in times that we're facing now. We have brothers
13:15
Speaker 1: and sisters on two political fences, on two sides of
13:18
Speaker 1: the table, bickering at one another. Can you imagine that
13:21
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God getting influenced, Well, I take that back,
13:25
Speaker 1: not the Kingdom God, the people of God getting influenced
13:29
Speaker 1: by political parties causing one another to argue against one another.
13:34
Speaker 1: Let me just help somebody out real quick, that's you
13:38
Speaker 1: ain't man, praise the Lord. You realize that this world government,
13:43
Speaker 1: in the world system is being run by the devil. Right,
13:46
Speaker 1: So regardless of what party is, your influence or your persuasion,
13:50
Speaker 1: your affinity, you're affiliated with Man. I hope you realize
13:54
Speaker 1: that as born again believers, there's not going to be
13:58
Speaker 1: ultimate peace. It's not going to be things are not
14:00
Speaker 1: gonna get right into the layd comes back right. But
14:02
Speaker 1: in the meantime, the Kingdom of God should be connected.
14:06
Speaker 1: Regardless if you're that side or this side. If you're
14:09
Speaker 1: red or you're blue, it really doesn't matter, right, hold
14:13
Speaker 1: on to both sides. Right, So we're on both sides,
14:17
Speaker 1: we could join hands in prayer and be unified, Amen,
14:21
Speaker 1: and bring Heaven down to our situation, not arguing bigger
14:25
Speaker 1: and not cause other people to lose their peace. Needs
14:28
Speaker 1: to protect our own peace and the world, especially the government,
14:32
Speaker 1: the political government needs to see the peace of God
14:35
Speaker 1: and the believers. They want our vote. Amen, So don't
14:40
Speaker 1: be persuaded pick a size, pick a side, right. So,
14:44
Speaker 1: in other words, if you're on the other side of
14:46
Speaker 1: what I picked a been as political leadership, Amen, I
14:50
Speaker 1: hope you're right and I'm wrong, and that'll be a
14:52
Speaker 1: better side. And if you're on the other side and
14:56
Speaker 1: I'm on the other side of you, you should hope
14:57
Speaker 1: the same thing for me. Well, I hope you're wrong
14:59
Speaker 1: saying my side, or I hope you're wrong and my
15:03
Speaker 1: side is going to make things better, and vice versa,
15:06
Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. So that way we won't
15:08
Speaker 1: be bickering against one another. And then the world's laughing
15:12
Speaker 1: at us, I said, aren't those people supposed to be
15:13
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God people, the born again people, the
15:16
Speaker 1: born You know, we're supposed to be people of peace,
15:21
Speaker 1: not people that are fighting, just like the world's fighting
15:24
Speaker 1: over political leaders. And don't fall into that trap. Never
15:28
Speaker 1: blame God for nothing. I love him so much. God
15:31
Speaker 1: is good with us. Remember he died on the cross
15:34
Speaker 1: for us. Never have no anger with him or blame
15:37
Speaker 1: him for anything. Yes, and I know that now, But boy,
15:40
Speaker 1: before I didn't know that. I was so angry at
15:42
Speaker 1: him and man, I didn't know his love. I didn't
15:44
Speaker 1: know his grace, I didn't know his mercy. I didn't
15:46
Speaker 1: know who he was. I didn't see the peace, or
15:49
Speaker 1: sense the peace, or have the peace of God. Why
15:52
Speaker 1: because I didn't have the peace with God. Thank you
15:55
Speaker 1: Jesus for saving me when I was thirty years old.
15:58
Speaker 1: Thank you sister Joann for that common You're right, no
16:01
Speaker 1: one should ever have blame God for anything right. It's
16:06
Speaker 1: not God's faults for what happened. In Genesis chapter three,
16:10
Speaker 1: Proverbs Chapter twenty four, Verse number one and two, Versus
16:13
Speaker 1: number one and two. Proverbs twenty four, Versus one and two,
16:17
Speaker 1: Bible says, do not envy wicked men, do not despise
16:23
Speaker 1: their company for their hearts, plot violence, and their lips
16:27
Speaker 1: talk about making trouble. Those are the people, ladies and
16:31
Speaker 1: gentlemen that you should watch out for. Hemen, you should
16:35
Speaker 1: avoid those people. You should did I say in my
16:43
Speaker 1: statement stay away from people like that? Now, I'm not
16:45
Speaker 1: saying to shun them, shame them right, send them to
16:50
Speaker 1: places where you didn't even build or you don't own.
16:53
Speaker 1: I'm just saying watch out for those type of people.
16:56
Speaker 1: And Psalms chapter seven, verses fifteen and sixteen, the Bible
17:00
Speaker 1: says like this, So I'm seven fifteen and sixteen. He
17:04
Speaker 1: who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into
17:09
Speaker 1: the pit he has made trouble, he causes recoils on himself.
17:15
Speaker 1: His violence comes down on his own head. So why
17:19
Speaker 1: would you want to hang out with people like that?
17:22
Speaker 1: And if God is speaking of those type of people,
17:24
Speaker 1: that means those type of people exist. If God tells
17:28
Speaker 1: you that those people are going one way and we're
17:31
Speaker 1: supposed to go another way, let's so big. God can't
17:35
Speaker 1: be too crazy about all we do love because God
17:40
Speaker 1: loved us first. Not going to go around hating people
17:43
Speaker 1: like that. But you're not going to join up with
17:46
Speaker 1: them either. Blessed are those who do not counsel or
17:50
Speaker 1: do not join with the wicked. Bless is the man
17:53
Speaker 1: who doesn't connect with the wicked, the violent, the people
17:56
Speaker 1: who are ruining peace. You're not going to be beneficial
18:02
Speaker 1: to anyone when you're joining up with people that are
18:04
Speaker 1: trying to ruin other people's lives or they're self harming.
18:09
Speaker 1: Pray for those get them help right. If they don't
18:12
Speaker 1: want to receive the help them, continue to pray, get
18:15
Speaker 1: them on the right path of people who can help them.
18:18
Speaker 1: And sometimes a lot of times in those areas, I'm
18:22
Speaker 1: not the one to help. In those situations. There are
18:27
Speaker 1: people who are able to help people that think that way.
18:32
Speaker 1: You know, God has gifted and anointed people with certain
18:35
Speaker 1: ways and certain methods to help those type of people out.
18:39
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's not me. God could use me. He could
18:42
Speaker 1: use you in situations where you would never have thought
18:45
Speaker 1: you could be able to be a help because we
18:47
Speaker 1: have Holy Spirit God, and that's great. He also holy Spirit.
18:51
Speaker 1: God also empowers other people to be strong in those areas.
18:58
Speaker 1: So if you know somebody that struggling with violence and
19:02
Speaker 1: self harm, or they're angry all the time, or maybe
19:06
Speaker 1: they don't have peace and they're losing their mind. They
19:09
Speaker 1: may be full of anxiety and anxiousness and depression and hatred,
19:15
Speaker 1: Let's get them to people that can help in their situation.
19:19
Speaker 1: First and foremost, let's pray, pray, I was gonna say, pray,
19:22
Speaker 1: lay and lay hands. Let's pray for them, lay hands
19:26
Speaker 1: on them if they allow us to, and trust God
19:28
Speaker 1: that God will move in their hearts in their minds. Amen,
19:32
Speaker 1: and stay away from those situations when you know that
19:37
Speaker 1: if you're around those situations, I have these scenarios already
19:41
Speaker 1: in my head that if I'm around certain people, I
19:43
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna have to be in a violent situation.
19:47
Speaker 1: That's the way they roll, that's the way they are.
19:51
Speaker 1: I haven't been to a bar like hanging out at
19:54
Speaker 1: a bar in since two thousand and one, So I'm
19:58
Speaker 1: not saying that. I'm saying that why would I be there?
20:02
Speaker 1: That's number one, hanging out in that type of environment
20:05
Speaker 1: when I know that's going to be a trigger to
20:08
Speaker 1: my old man, to my old selful nature and whoever
20:12
Speaker 1: I'm with that I've always been like this. If they
20:14
Speaker 1: get into a situation, that means I'm now in that situation.
20:19
Speaker 1: So we have to be mindful. We have to use discernment,
20:21
Speaker 1: we have to use wisdom. We have to understand where
20:23
Speaker 1: people are a man and ask God to meet them
20:28
Speaker 1: where they are. Because guess what, I don't know anybody
20:31
Speaker 1: that's watching or listening that hasn't been that's saved now
20:36
Speaker 1: that didn't realize that God met you where you were.
20:40
Speaker 1: They have to be right with God. You were right
20:43
Speaker 1: with God. I wasn't right with God. He meets us
20:46
Speaker 1: where we were, where we are, take us to where
20:50
Speaker 1: he is. It's an incredible act of love that God gives,
20:54
Speaker 1: the act of mercy and act of grace. He doesn't
20:57
Speaker 1: want us to lose what he gives us. He gives
21:00
Speaker 1: us peace. Peace. That's an incredible valuable gift for God,
21:09
Speaker 1: the peace of God, because we have peace with God. Amazing.
21:13
Speaker 1: I don't want to exchange peace for you could offer
21:16
Speaker 1: me whatever you want to offer me, cars, houses, money,
21:20
Speaker 1: you can offer me all that and exchange for my peace.
21:24
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, not on this side of town. Now.
21:28
Speaker 1: If it was for a good cause, and I know
21:30
Speaker 1: it was to help others, and I have peace in
21:33
Speaker 1: my heart and God confirms it, of course, send it
21:36
Speaker 1: my way, and let's make a change in our world. Amen,
21:40
Speaker 1: in our territory. Absolutely, Lets unify, let's get together, and
21:45
Speaker 1: let's make it happen, and let's be peaceful with one another.
21:49
Speaker 1: The Body of Christ shouldn't be all crazy and chaos
21:53
Speaker 1: over this political stuff. Man, say it again, because it's
21:57
Speaker 1: so strange that what party you aflated with and you
22:04
Speaker 1: say it, and then if they're not affiliated with that party,
22:08
Speaker 1: they get angry. What are you getting angry for? You
22:11
Speaker 1: know that the leaders, if they're not filled with the
22:13
Speaker 1: Holy spirit God, you know they're of this world. Right.
22:18
Speaker 1: Let me remind you we're not. We're in this world.
22:20
Speaker 1: We're not of this world, so we're supposed to be
22:23
Speaker 1: the peacemakers. The Bible said is says, blessed are the peacemakers,
22:29
Speaker 1: for they will inherit the earth. Right the meek will
22:31
Speaker 1: inherit the earth. Peacemakers, We're blessed. According to what Jesus
22:35
Speaker 1: said the Sermon on the Mount, Blessed are the peacemakers.
22:39
Speaker 1: We have this peace that the world needs. The peace
22:42
Speaker 1: that we have living inside of us is the answer
22:46
Speaker 1: to stop all the wars around the world. People are like, well,
22:49
Speaker 1: how dare you say that, Sam, Yeah, you bring the
22:52
Speaker 1: peace of God, and the peace of God becomes the
22:56
Speaker 1: glue or the solution to all the world the world's wars.
23:02
Speaker 1: Change the heart of the person and give them the
23:06
Speaker 1: peace of God. Amen, and cease fire. It will happen
23:10
Speaker 1: all over the world. Well, we have the Prince of
23:12
Speaker 1: Peace and he's coming back. Amen. He promised to come back,
23:15
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have this ultimate peace and no more violence,
23:18
Speaker 1: no more death, no more dying, no more crying, no
23:22
Speaker 1: more disease, no more sin, no more. It's gonna be
23:25
Speaker 1: an amazing thing. But in the meantime, we know on
23:28
Speaker 1: this side of eternitcy. We're coming close to who God
23:32
Speaker 1: is coming close to. In other words, God, what is
23:35
Speaker 1: this world coming to sands? World's coming to an end,
23:37
Speaker 1: and Jesus is coming to this world with a new
23:39
Speaker 1: heaven and a new earth. Amen, Brother Frank, good morning.
23:43
Speaker 1: God bless you and your family as well. Amen. It's
23:46
Speaker 1: good to see my brother and my friend. So that's
23:48
Speaker 1: what we have. We need to protect our peace. Some
23:52
Speaker 1: people protect their peace by going and doing missionary strips
23:57
Speaker 1: right to go help others. Some people protect their peace
24:01
Speaker 1: by knowing the word of God and speaking it over
24:03
Speaker 1: people that normally wouldn't hear the word of God spoken.
24:06
Speaker 1: They go to prison ministries, They go to outreaches of
24:10
Speaker 1: youth that are in trouble. Right, some of my friends
24:15
Speaker 1: and brothers and sisters are helping the drug addicted right,
24:18
Speaker 1: going into parts and places and towns that people will
24:22
Speaker 1: not there go to, even as born again believers, but
24:25
Speaker 1: they're there. Some people find peace by going to places
24:29
Speaker 1: that have been ravaged by hurricanes and storms and earthquakes.
24:32
Speaker 1: You find peace in that. You might be like, that's
24:34
Speaker 1: weird to find peace in that way. Well, they're anointed
24:37
Speaker 1: and appointed God fills them with that type of peace
24:39
Speaker 1: to go help somebody who's peace has been violated. When
24:43
Speaker 1: you see somebody like in violence or they're victim to violence,
24:49
Speaker 1: you have this compassion, right, it shows up because we
24:52
Speaker 1: have the spirit of God living inside of us. It
24:54
Speaker 1: shows up for that person and then they sense the peace.
24:58
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you how many times people walking to
25:00
Speaker 1: the studio where I'm at recording now, they said, Man,
25:03
Speaker 1: it seems a lot a lot peace. It's peaceful in
25:05
Speaker 1: this in this studio. I'm gonna say the secret why
25:09
Speaker 1: this peace in the studio. I have the Word of
25:11
Speaker 1: God playing two four seven in the studio like a whisper,
25:14
Speaker 1: and the word of God brings peace. Hey man, the
25:17
Speaker 1: word of God protects the peace of the studio in
25:20
Speaker 1: his home. And this this property right, the peace of
25:25
Speaker 1: God powerful. You don't want to exchange that for anything else.
25:30
Speaker 1: I noticed people out there dipping and dabbling into all
25:33
Speaker 1: kind of witchcraft and sorcery and all that. Yeah, sorcerers exist,
25:37
Speaker 1: witches exist, wallocks is this sooth say its exists? Psychics exist.
25:42
Speaker 1: All those people that God says to stay away from,
25:45
Speaker 1: they all exist. It's in the scriptures. I don't know
25:49
Speaker 1: what happens to my brothers and sisters in Christ around Halloween.
25:53
Speaker 1: They forget what God said to stay away from only
25:56
Speaker 1: during Halloween. I don't understand it. They want to go
25:58
Speaker 1: to haunts. They want to go who hay rides evil?
26:01
Speaker 1: This evil that saw a bulletin for what is it
26:05
Speaker 1: Jason's farm or Jason's woods or whatever, and it has
26:10
Speaker 1: the face of some evil stuff, and a lot of
26:14
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters that say there in Christ are attracted
26:17
Speaker 1: to that. They go and guess what, your peace is
26:19
Speaker 1: gonna be violated. You're gonna get nightmares. You're gonna get scared.
26:24
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you gonna get scared. You cann't start dabbling
26:29
Speaker 1: with the spirit of fear. That by the way, God
26:31
Speaker 1: didn't give us that spirit. So where's that spirit from?
26:34
Speaker 1: So wake up? You should know better. I know peer pressure,
26:38
Speaker 1: even for parents, we get peer pressure. Our kids look
26:42
Speaker 1: at us and we're friends. Everybody celebrated. I want to
26:44
Speaker 1: go we're going through that now, we go through that
26:48
Speaker 1: every year. But it is what it is. I'd rather
26:51
Speaker 1: protect my peace have somebody mad at me for a
26:53
Speaker 1: couple of days or a couple of hours for not
26:56
Speaker 1: letting them go to these haunts or whatever, than to
26:59
Speaker 1: lose my peace or for them to lose their peace
27:02
Speaker 1: just because they were peer pressured into doing things that
27:05
Speaker 1: God tells us not to do, or connect with things
27:08
Speaker 1: that God tells us not to connect with. Men, Stay
27:11
Speaker 1: away from people who try to ruin your peace. Stay
27:13
Speaker 1: away from places and things that try to ruin your peace.
27:17
Speaker 1: How about that that's a good message around Halloween time? Right?
27:21
Speaker 1: I don't believe and none of that Halloween is for
27:23
Speaker 1: the dead people. Yeah, I mean it has its purpose,
27:30
Speaker 1: but it's not the purpose that will feed your spirit
27:33
Speaker 1: as a born again believer. It's purpose. It's a Greek
27:36
Speaker 1: Havoc have put fear in the children's hearts or whatever,
27:40
Speaker 1: and it's a big business. Fear is a big business
27:42
Speaker 1: as well. But I'm out of time. Protect your peace,
27:45
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, Proverbs chapter twenty. Read the whole chapter
27:48
Speaker 1: for yourself. I'm out of here. I send you all
27:51
Speaker 1: with a blessing. God bless you all. God keep you all,
27:54
Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace
