• 2:19

  Speaker 1: so that I can be the change that I desire
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to see in this world. Because He has given me
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a story to tell. He's given me test and tribulations
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: so that I can have that testimony to share with
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: someone else so that they can see how to overcome
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and that they're not alone on this journey. So I'm

  Speaker 1: gonna be before you very long. Just want to share
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: what He's laid on my heart. This morning. Concerning this
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: lesson again, I thank you guys for joining. Our scripture
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: today is coming from Matthew verse chapter five, verses fourteen
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and sixty and says, you are the light of the world.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: do the people light a lamp and put it under
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a bowl. Instead they put it on it stand, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it gives light to everyone in the house. And the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: same way, let your light shine before others, that they
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: may see your good deeds and glorify the Father in Heaven. Again,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I say you are the light of the world. A
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: town built on a heel cannot be hidden. Neither do
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Instead they put it don't understand that it gives light
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to everyone in the house, the same way that your
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: light should be shining before others, that they may see
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: your good deeds and glorify the one that created us,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the Father in Heaven. Y'all, everything we do should go
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: back to him to lead back to him, not us,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So we move ourselves out of the way. This morning,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I say speak this over your life. I shine God's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: light in the world. I am a light to this
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: world speak that over yourself on today. That is our
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: affirmation for today, our lesson focus today is called to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: illuminate a dark world. Have you ever considered your presence
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: alone can brighten someone else's path? Jesus said, you are
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the light of the world, not just a flicker, but
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a spark, but a radiant beacon meant to shine hope
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and truth. This is not just a gentle suggestion, It
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: is a divine ca that sets you apart. Every day.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You have countless opportunities to reflect God's love right where
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you are. You don't have to have any special thing,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he said, right where you are every day. You can
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: do it right where you are, whether you're at work,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you're in the grocery store, among friends, or even strolling
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: social media. Your words, your action, even your attitude could
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: bring comfort, clarity, and encouragement to those that are searching
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for meaning. The world is filled with people navigating darkness, fear, loneliness, pain,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and uncertainty into that darkness. You are God's chosen lamp
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: call to show that love still exists and that truth
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: still has a place in a name. Your kindness may
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: be the answer to someone's silent prayers. Your integrity might
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: be what restores a person lost faith in humanity. Your
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: smile or your simple as of help, your simple acts
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of kindness could ignite hope in a really heart. When
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you reflect Christ's character, his patience with impatience, his forgiveness
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of the undeserving, his compassion for the overlooked, you invite
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: those around you to experience God and real and intangible ways.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Don't underestimate the influence that you carry. Yes, you that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you carry. You may never know whose life has changed
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the course because you chose to shine. You chose to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: allow that light to shine when you were around them.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So don't hide what God has done for you. Refuse
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to dim your life to fit in with the crowd,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but yet instead shine boldly and let your life be
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a living testament of the transformation power of God's love
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and truth. Imagine a world where every believer answer this call,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: where everywhere you turn you could encounter encouragement, honor, grace,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and joy. Being the beginning of the world today, you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: are the light. Shine intentionally, shine bright. The world needs you,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and only you can reflect that that He's placed on
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the inside of you. Let this call echo in your
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: spirit as you greet each new day. I want you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to say this to yourself. Lord, help me to shine
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: your light wherever you place me today, so that others
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: will be drawn not to me, but to you. Speak
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it over your life today. Speak it over your life today.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Your action influence others for God's glory. If you go
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: over to Matthew five and sixteen, it said let your
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: light shine before others, that they may see your good
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: deeds and glorify the Father which is in heaven. Every
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: action you take sins a ripple through the lives of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: those around you, whether you realize it or not. Choosing
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: compassion over indifference, choosing generosity over selfishness, choosing truth over
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: compromise not only blesses other but brings recognition to God.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You are a living testimony, and sometimes you are the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: only Bible that others will read. When you go out
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of your way to serve, forgive, and to speak life,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you are setting an example that leads others closer to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the Creator, prompting them to praise Him because of what
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they see in you. Humph, it's not an accident. It's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: not a co accident. Ask yourself this, how might my
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: integrity or kindness today give someone a new perspective on
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: what God is like. We should be reflecting God's character
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and everything we do every day. Every day we wake
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: up and get another chance, we should be reflecting his character.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: If you go over to Philippians two and fifteen, it said,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: then you will shine among them stars in the sky. Huh.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: He'll make your name great. He'll put you in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: midst of people that may not know you, and he
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: will make your name. He said, he will make room
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: for your gift. Stars don't complete, don't compete with the darkness.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They simply shine and distinguish themselves in the night. In
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a world where negativity, dishonorty, and self promotion are common,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: because we come across it every day. Reflecting God's character, integrity, humility,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and patience and faithfulness sets you apart. The everyday choices
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you make, how you handle stress, how you treat those
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: who disagree with you, Testifying to the higher standard, assistance
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: in your courage and living for Christ, radiate hope and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: inspire us others to wonder about the source of your life.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Who in your circle needs to see an example of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: unwavering faith, honesty, or peace today? How can you be
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that star in the sky on today, ext yourself that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: love is the brightest light that you can share. John thirteen,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: thirty four and thirty five is said, by this, everyone
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: will know that you are my disciple. If you love
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: one another. He said that we're supposed to love, y'all.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to love. We're supposed to, but love covers
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: them up to tude of sin. Lovealls, we're supposed to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: love our brothers and sisters as we love ourselves, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of us we don't love us. So it's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: hard for us to love our brothers and sisters. But
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: we got to get back to loving us. He said,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: By this, everyone will know that you are a disciple.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: If you love one another. You got to show love.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You have to show more love. Love is a language
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that every heart understands. The Lord measures our discipleship by
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the authenticness and the selfishlessness of our love. When you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: show patience to the hurd when you show forgiveness to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: do to those who have wroamed you, or resources to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: those who are in need, you give tangible evidence of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: God's heartbeat by those that are watching in the world.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Love is not always easy, but it's always transformative. Through
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: loving actions, barriers crumble, heart soften, and God's presence become
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: unmistakably real. Prayer is often an opportunity where we can
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: go that extra mile for someone, not for recognition or reward,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: but simply by reflecting the love that Christ has poured
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: into us. Just simply praying for someone. They they wronged you,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: pray for if they've come against you, pray for. Don't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: hold grudges, don't hold arts, don't wear it in your heart,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: because God souches the heart. Let these truths guide you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: as you illuminate the world one action, one word, one
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: act of love at a time. Love draws, love covers.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: How can we apply this to our life daily? This
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: should be something that we are doing daily. It shouldn't
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: be something that we just do today and forget tomorrow,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but we should be applying this daily. How do we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: do this, y'all? We can serve someone in need. If
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we go over to the Galatians six and two, it
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: said carry each other's burdens, often offering encouragement or practical
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: help to someone going through a tough time. Just simply
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: letting someone know that you're there. You're there to encourage them,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: You're there if they need to shoulder the crowd and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you're there. If they just need to yell, you're there.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they just need to get it out and you
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: just need to be a listening there. All you got
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to do is be willing to be there, be willing
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to carry that burden. Humh. And then you got to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: learn how to speak life and positivity. Proverbs eighteen and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: twenty one tells us the tongue has the power to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: speak life of death. That gives you an opportunity to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: give someone a genuine complaint, compliment of uplifting, word encouraging, y'all,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: If we just open our mouth and speak, He's given
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: us that power. You can speak life into someone else.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, we got to live with integrity, even when
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you when no one is watching, when the eyes are
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: not on you. You got to do what's right. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: in Collisons three twenty three, it said, whatever you do,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: work at it with all your heart, as if working
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: unto the Lord. Make choices today that reflect honesty, kindness
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in God's truth, y'all, these are commandments, These are things
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that He's instructed us to do in the Bible, though
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: those are our basic instructions before leaving this earth. Those
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: are things that we should be doing. So we got
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to apply it to our life. Just because you may
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: read it and it's say marriage, it's a mark, it's
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: say Joseph, it's say who. Whatever. You got to allow
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: put your name in that place and allow that word
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to manifest in your life. Speak it. He's one told
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you He give us the power. It's in our tongue
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and we can speak life or death. I choose to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: speak life. I choose to be a light. It's a choice,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and we can choose daily how to walk in it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: The word of today is illuminate. Illuminate is to light up,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to make bright. When you illuminate a room, darkness has
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: no choice but to flee, And the same way, you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a call to bring light wherever you go, into the workplace,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: into your homes, out into the community. When Christ's love
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: shines through you, Confusion gives way to clarity, Sadness gives
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: way to hope, and despair gives way to possibility. To
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: illuminate is not just to glow for yourself, but it's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to help others to see the path, to find hope
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and experience the warmth of God's experience. In his presence.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Your smile, your encouraging words, any act of kindness, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: simply a testimony can bring a spark that ennites faith
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and joy in someone else's life. You gotta believe it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: on today. You got to walk in it today. Let
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: your life be a lamp on the stage. Don't be hidden.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Do not allow those gifts to be hidden. Do not
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: allow those wisdom to die down. The love that God
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: has given and the positive in you choose to eliminate
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the world today and those around you. Make it brighter,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: make it broader, make it beautiful by being all that
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: God has created you to be, y'all. Spend time with
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: them so you know what you're supposed to be doing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Shine on and let your light illuminate the darkness. Y'all.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Someone is dependent on you. Someone needs your word of encouragement.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: We have these platforms, we have these outlets to do
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: this that, but some of us we do any and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: everything but sharing the word of God, y'all. He's given
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: us testimonies. He given us things that we've overcome. We
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: didn't overcome them just for us. We overcame them for
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the people that He's placed in our life, so that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: we can illuminate and be that light for them. Y'all,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: someone is depending on you today. It's not by chance,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's not by happens that that you come across this
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: live There's something that you are supposed to get today
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: so that you can give it to somebody else. So
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: take that he's dropping in your spirit and allow it
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to illuminate, allow it to be a beacon to someone else.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I want you to be reminded that you are a
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: light that may be the only glimpse of hope or
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: kindness that someone sees today. God has called you to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: shine bright, not to shrink back, not to be just
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a flicker. But He's called you to be that flame,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to be confident, and to allow those small acts of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: love to make an internal impact. So I challenge you today,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: shine boldly and carry the light of Jesus everywhere you go. Okay,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And that's how I have for y'all today. I hope
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that there's something that I've shared that will bless you
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and that you'll be able to share it with someone else.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: One more time. I want to share this affirmation, speak
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it over your life. Before you walk out that door,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: say to yourself, I shine God's light to this world
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: because He created me to shine. He created me to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: be a light. Speak it over your life. I want
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: y'all to join me back here tomorrow, day twenty five
• 18:25

  Speaker 1: to wake us up this morning, but you extended your
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: grace and your mercy, giving us all another opportunity to

  Speaker 1: get it right, giving us all another opportunity to impact life.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So Father, we thank you because somebody didn't wake up
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: this morning. Somebody didn't get another chance, somebody had dreamed,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: somebody had aspirations, Lord God, So Father, we're asking that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you will allow those things that you have preordained for us.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: According to Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven, your word declared
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that you had a plan for us, and it was
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: not to harm us, but to prosper us, for us
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to be in good health, for us to have hope
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in the future. And Father, we stand on your word.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: We know that it will not return to your voice.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: We know that you will watch over and to us,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: perfected and performed in each and every one of our lives.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And we know you have no respectable a person. Just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: as you did it for one of us, you would
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: do it for us all. So, Father, we stand on
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: your word today. And Father, we just asked that you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: allow the Holy Spirit to go before us, Lord God,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: smoothing out every criocket roll level in every mountain, Lord God,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: allowing us to catch up with that that you have

  Speaker 1: already preordained to us according to your word. Father, we
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: thank you. We thank you right now for this hour.

• 20:38

• 20:41
  Speaker 1: asked that as we go out into this world, your world,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: your word tells us that we have to be in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: this world, but not of this world. Lord, So Father,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: continue to allow that that you're placed on the inside
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: of us. Allow that light to shine so bright that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: others and everything that we do points back to you

• 21:07
  Speaker 1: this live. Lord God, everyone under the sound of my voice, Father,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: open those doors that need to be opened, and close
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: those doors that need to be closed. Father God, and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: those that would hear it as a replay, Lord God,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Father blessed them right where they are. Father, no matter
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: where they are bless them right where they are. Father,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: meet them in their need, and Father, ask they draw
