  Speaker 1: the morning. Devo it bro Sam Lopez aka Dj sam

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: dot so win is with a Z the Org streaming
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: on social media platforms including our YouTube page which is
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: simply called Dj sam Rock and trying to make everything
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: easy for us to memorize or to get to a men.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: So thank you so much for coming through. Good morning
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to my beautiful wife and Uni Lopez, and she sends
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: blessing to everyone that's listening and watching right now live.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So the world system doesn't work. There's been a lot
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of concern about ISIS and what's going on with the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: people that are getting taken, families breaking up and people
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: being deported and the mass deportation. The presidency, the government
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of concern, right and rightfully so, because who
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: wants to see a family being broken up? Who wants
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to see people being ushered out of this country, whether
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: they're illegal or legal. It's still a heartbreaking thing to see,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: right because people come here to seek success, to start
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a new life. But I have to remind my brothers
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and sisters in Christ who have been posting and who
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: are outraged, and this, that, and the third. You're looking
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: at the world system, right, do you realize the world
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: system is never gonna work? And I'm gonna try to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: really encourage all of us by the way of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Word of God because the world system doesn't work. Amen.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The world system is rooted in self self. I'm not
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: gonna say self nothing, self power, and control. You see it, right,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It confirms the scriptures. It confirms what the Bible says
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about this world system. But the God's kingdom, the kingdom
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of God, God's kingdom is built on humanliity, love and servanthood.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So you see the opposing views the world views, right,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The world views everything for selfish gain, for power, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: for control. And you're seeing that right now in real time.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't know how people go around saying
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: there is no God when the Word of God already
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: says what was going to happen and what is happening
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: right now confirms the word of God confirms what's happening now.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: What's happening now confirms the word of God. In other words,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the word of God already told us that the world
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: system is not the way God is running things. The
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: world system is being run by the enemy of our souls.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: The world system is being run by the devil himself. Right,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying everybody in the government is from the devil.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying every government is from the devil. I'm
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not saying that. What I'm saying is the world system,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the way the world has their system going. It obviously
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. The two party system or a three party
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: or however you want to call it in United States
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. Right, So if there's no unity, there's disunity.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Where there's no peace, it's chaos. So the world system
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. We're gonna be a First John chapter two,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: verse number sixteen. First John, Chapter two, number sixteen. And
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: again the world system is rooted in self power and control,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and want you to think about that. But God's kingdom
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is built on humility, love, and servanthood. You get to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: see the opposing views in a couple of minutes when
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we read the scripture. Right, So let's pray first. After
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: wee pray, we shut us out for like sixty seconds.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, or
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: anything along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: on a live chat. That's what we're here for. We're
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: here to communicate, and we're here to bond by way
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of the Word of God and his truth and his
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: gospel truth and his way and his life, which is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. So, Father God, thank you. I pray
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Low God for every single family that's in this mess
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of a trouble, mess of trouble that is being taken
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: away from members. In other words, that if there is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: something that is coming to our families, Lo God, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: asked log that you would have your way and that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you will guide gard and protect us, and justice will prevail,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and love and grace and mercy will prevail, and your
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: truth will prevail over any situation that we may face.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So I prayer Head your protection over all my family
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of my wife, our children, our grandchildren, everybody on both
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sides of our families, from the youngest member to the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: oldest family member and everyone in between. I pray Low God,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that you can seem to remind us that you are
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in control, that you are sovereign, that you are in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: this with us, Lord God, and that you are for
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: us and you work through us. I pray Lord God,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: peace be still over all situations that seems to be chaotic,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: over all situations that seem to be hopeless, over all
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: situations that try to divide us. Father God, give us
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the unity that you called us to be in and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to be unified on the one faith, one God, one Kingdom,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: one Lord, one Savior, one Master, one Bible, one scriptures,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: or this holy scriptures. Amen that live within us by
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: way of Holy Spirit. So I speak that knowing that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you answer every single prayer according to your purpose and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: plans for every single individual's life. Although we might not
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: understand why things happen, you understand or why it's happening,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and you have a greater purpose. So Father God, help
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: us in our belief, help us even if we don't
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: believe in our unbelief, and help us be the way,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the truth, and the life like you call us to be,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the salt in life, the assaulting lights of this world.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for calling us forward and in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: such a time as this, and Jesus Holy Name, my
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: prayer is by faith, and all those who agree we
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: say amen to the Amen. Good morning, Sister Joyne, I'll

  Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the morning deve with my sister, my friend. So let's

  Speaker 1: go for it, man. And today is the last day
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: at school for some children in my area. And if
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: if that's you and your parent, Ameni's celebrate our children
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: for another year of accomplishment. Holbrid went down. It could
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: have been a good year, mediocre year, or bad year.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Let's just trust God with the rest of the days
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of this summer and going into the next season, that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they get into school again. Amen, that God will continue
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the guide God to protect them as well. Amen. So
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: let's go for it. We're going to share this out
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sixty seconds after the sixty second counter is over. I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: gonna try my best to share that this sou to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: as many people in those sixty seconds. Help me share,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and when we come back, we'll get right into today's scripture.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back, man, We're back now. So many groups.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for all the groups that allow me
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to share this to your group page. I'm grateful for
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: that because I know how it is my group. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: don't let everything go through. I have to look at it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But if you trust what God is doing, God is great,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: come and join. Thank you so much for allowing us
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to go through. So if you're a group out there
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and you want to connect. Le's connect and let's get
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this message out to as many people as possible. But yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: test the spirit by the spirit, right, make sure what
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is biblically sound. I don't want to just
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be on people's platforms if you don't trust what's going
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: on through the ministry and through what God is doing
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in this ministry. New Jerusalem World Evangelism Group. Thank you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: so much for allowing me to go through onto your
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: group as well, so hopefully we could get this going
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: because my battery was dying on my tablet and where
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: my notes are, So here we go. The world system
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: is rooted and what we said it earlier, self power
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and control. Let's get to the scripture so that way
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you can see that this is real. This is a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: real in His word, Amen, it's happening. It's been happen
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a long time, every long time. So again, I don't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: believe the love of God, the grace of God, the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: mercy of God, the truth of God's word. Amen. When
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: God's words spoke about what's happening now years ago, thousands
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of years ago through the prophets, Amen, the world system
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't work, ladies and gentlemen. So, my brothers and sisters,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I see you're concerned. I'm concerned too. But let's not
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: get fear a chance. That spirit of fear is not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: from God. Amen. We can't be fearful of what the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: world is doing. We need to be mindful of what
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the world is doing and continue to be on mission
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for Christ. Amen. The world system doesn't work. Let's get
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to it. Bible says in First John, chapter two, verse
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: number sixteen, for all that is in the world, what's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in the world, ladies and gentlemen. Well, here it is
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the lust and sensual craving of the flesh, and the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: lust and longing of the eyes, and the boastful pride
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of life, tensious confidence in one's resources or in the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: stability of earthly things. In other words, it's about power.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It's about selfism, right, lust and the fruit of all
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of this leads to destruction. Seeing it trying to wake
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: some people up that quote themselves believers, and you're posting
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: things saying, oh, you know this is an outrage. Oh
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we can't look the other way. Oh we have just
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we have to know what God's word says before we
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: act upon how we feel. If we just go by
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: our feelings, we're going to be part of the problem,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: not part of the solution. These do not come from
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the Father, but are from the world. See that First John,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: chapter two, verse number sixteen. I hope you don't think
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that this world system, the way's running, is being run
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: by the Lord, the Father, Lord, Jesus, Holy Spirit. No,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it's not. Actually the Kingdom of God and the kingdom
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of this world. On opposite polls ay man, I'm not
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: going to put the world system on my shoulders, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be put in the world system on your
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: shoulders either. Right, we didn't create the world system, we're
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not running the world system. And the God's word says
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that that's not from God. Straight up, it's not from
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the Lord. So if it's not from God, world system
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is not our system. The kingdom of this world is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: not our kingdom. Yeah, we should have be we should
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: have concern and be concerned. Keep authorities in prayer, Amen,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: whether you're agreeing with the authorities or not. Guests who
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: put all authorities on earth like some people acting like
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: God is not keen to what's going on. Some Christians
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: are acting like listen, God, don't you see that what's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: going on? Yes, he sees it, he knows it. It's horrible, right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But didn't God warn us? Then Jesus said, in this
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: world we will have trials and tribulation. And then he said,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but be of good cheer. Why because he's overcome this
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: world and his system. He overcomes, He overcame sin and death.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Because he's God, he could do that. But if you're
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: not careful, and then you go on fear, go in
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a flesh, and then you go into all kind of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: different ideas of how to do X y Z. When
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the war, when the world system is selling you, okay,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you have to do this, but God's word is telling
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you you should do this. Who side you're gonna be on?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It can't be. In the irony of this all is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people who claim to be Christians
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: are really worldly. They're cardinal Christians, but yet they see
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the world, and they're telling the church listen,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: let's help out. When a lot of Christians are full
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of the world, they're actually in the world, and they're
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: going by the world system anyway. So it's hypocrisy and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: we gotta be careful. I got to be mindful of that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You got to be mindful of that. We all got
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to be mindful of that. If we're saying we're in
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God, then we should be taking orders
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: from the king. If you're saying you're a Christian, you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be defending the world system. You should be actually
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: praying that God will have mercy upon all the authorities
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and the leaders of this world system. Right, it's a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: difference between having concern right for something and then being
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: concerned with what God is concerned with. Right. First thing's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: first priority is the word of God. Good morning is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to the joice, I see you, Good morning, God, bless
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you as well. Thank you for coming through my system,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: my friend. So the world system promote self exaltation, pride,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I don't need to say nothing else about pride, right,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And there's even months that are dedicated to pride, competition, materialism,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and independence. In other words, the world says I don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: need God. That's what the world says, and we as believers,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: we know we need God, and we actually know that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the world system needs God too. But they chose, or
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: they were deceived into believing that the God of this
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: world is going to take them to their own promised land,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and that's not going to happen. The world system does
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: not work. Success is defined by how much you achieve
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: right according to the world system, how much you own
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: or are you in control or that we saw in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: one John two sixteen that the less of the flesh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the less of the eyes, and a pride of life
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is basically how the system runs. That's why if we're
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: not careful, careful as believers, careful sound like a New
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Jersey guy. If we're not careful as believers, we're going
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to be sucked right into that routine, sucked right into
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that system. Governments, corporations, social media media platforms a lot
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of times they prioritize profits and influence more than justice
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and righteousness. Have you ever noticed that if I post
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: something horrible on my social media platforms, something that went
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: wrong in my life, or if I'm trying to to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: point their fingers as somebody that's doing something crazy, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: get a lot more views and clicks. That's just the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: way it is. Posting like this, I get less views
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and clicks. But the Lord is the one who's drawn
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: people to himself, So I don't worry about numbers. It's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: not about quantities, about the quality of what you're putting out.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: If you're putting out garbage, you're goulda get results. Yeah,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you could have get a lot of people following a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: lot of lights, but the amazult is garbage. But if
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you're putting out God's word, you're putting out the Gospel.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You put it out content for Christ. You put it
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: in our Christian content that will lift people up. Yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you might get few views, fewer likes, fewer you know, followers,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: But that's okay because in the long run, this is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: not a sprend, this is a marathon. In the long run,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: people are gonna need what God is offering sooner or later.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I believe everyone needs Jesus. But just because I believe
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you believe that. Right, So we have
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to just be about our father's business, trusting the Lord
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Amen and his word and watch the results come through
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: by way of His Kingdom principles. So the world we
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: see it. We see what's going on, We see how
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the governments are being how the governments are moving. Right,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I see it, you see it. But most importantly God sees,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and God knew it. Got sow beforehand. So people might
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: be thinking, so why is God allowing xyz? Well, did
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: he really allow it? Or is it a result of
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Genesis chapter three? Did God just get up one day
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and say, listen, since man's gonna fall, I'm gonna just
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: let everything happen. I'm gonna go on eternal vacation. Though
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus said he's coming back. I don't know if if
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know what eternity means, because eternity is a long time. Amen.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Eternity is a long time Telicia, God bless you. I'll
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome to the morning. Devo,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: my sister, my friend also Joyce is saying, giving us
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the blessings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Rejoice in the Lord always, and we should. While everything
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that you see and that I see is going on
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in our country and our world and our government and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the world system, it should be plain for us to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: see that this kingdom of this world ain't gonna work.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: We need each other. We need to step up, we
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: need to stand out. We need to believe for real,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and we need to be true followers, and we follow
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus in spirit and truth. Amen. But let's go to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the good part of this. We already we already know.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think I have to convince you. The world's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: already convincing us that the world system doesn't work. But
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: God's Kingdom is built on humility, love, and serverhood. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: heard someone that I respect saying something thing that I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: don't agree with. It's not an issue of our salvation
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: or anything. It's about how we phrase the Kingdom of God.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Some preachers and evangelists are saying that we're building to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: kill the Kingdom of God. And I hope I'm hearing
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: this incorrectly. I hope they don't mean that we're actually
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: supplying needs and we're actually building the kingdom, because when
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: actually the scriptures the Kingdom God cannot be built by
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: human hands. I think what's the really meaning behind we're
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: building the Kingdom of God is that we're expanding the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Kingdom message. We're expanding the Gospel throughout the world. Amen.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Because God's killed. The kingdom is built by his hands.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: He built the kingdom. Amen, He's the king of it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: God's Kingdom is built around humility, love, and servanhood. Being
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: humbled is powerful, especially in the world. We're living right now. Right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: The world sees humility and being humbled as a weakness, Well,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: we see it as believers in Christ, Amen, as something
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: powerful to humble ourselves because we are meek, we have
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: power under control. Love. God is love. And if we
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: say we love God, we follow his commandments. And if
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: we say that we're born again and we don't have
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: no love, then we're liars and we're not of God.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: God is love. Serve a hood. We'll have to really
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: explain that. Serving one another and men helping people out,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: helping people that are in the dark, helping them find
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the light of Christ, through our lives, through the scriptures,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: through communities, right through events. However God uses you, how
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: would God uses me. Let's go ahead and be used
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to serve others. Jesus taught the last will be first
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and the first will be last. Matthew twenty sixteen. The
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: world says self comes first, right, and I'm going to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: result myself. See the opposing view there. Greatness and the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God comes through serving others Matthew twenty three eleven.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: We're not dominating the people who we serve, we're serving Amen.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the scripture says to be
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: mindful of the people around you, right to lift them up,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: considering them doing better than yourself. Amen. So it's self lessness,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: not self fishness. In the Kingdom of God, kingdom living
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and kingdom mindsets is powered by love. You don't have
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: love for one another? Amen? What are we doing? Righteousness, Peace,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit Romans fourteen seventeen. I'm just citing
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the scriptures because this is our morning devotion, and the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: scripture that I wanted us to really key in its
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: first John chapter two and sixteen, describing how the world
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: is built, describing how the world runs, how the world moves.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: We see it daily. Amen, I'm not going to be
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that Christian that denies what I see and going to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: denial mode. I'm going to know what I'm looking at
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and see what I'm seeing, and make sure I don't
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: get drawn into it myself, because anybody could get it. Literally,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Hey man, it's a slang for saying that if you're
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: not careful, if I'm not careful, we could be sucked
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: right into that world system. The world system has a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: lot of media. The world system has a lot of advertising.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The world system is like a magnet. The world system
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: is it's really designed to cater to the flesh. To
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: our flesh like our evil, sinful desires, the world will
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: be like, Oh, man, I could fill those desires up
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: for you. We have to be careful. The world follows
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: man made system systems right, political, financial, and social. Okay,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it could be used for good or it could be
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: used for bad. But without God in the center of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: those systems, those political systems, financial systems, and social systems.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: If it's not God, Almighty, Holy God, Amen. If it's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not Holy Spirit, it's unholy Spirit. And it's unholy God,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and it's the God of this world that's running it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We can't have both things happening at the same time.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of God follows God's word right as the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ultimate authority. Right, seek first the Kingdom of God Matthew
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: six thirty three. So where the world compromises, the world
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: system compromises right, they exchange truth for a lie they
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: call bad good. Right, where the world often compromises truth
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: for gain, God's Kingdom stands on unshakable truth, eternal truth.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: It's not just true today, it's true tomorrow, it's true forevermore.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: And it's not my truth. A lot of people say, ah,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that's your truth, this is my truth. Everything should be relative.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You know. It sounds cool, it sounds like it makes sense,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: sounds logical, but it's not biblical. Amen. Even some laws,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: like say, if you if you know the law of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: your lawyer and listening or watching, you know that there's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of good laws in our system, world system,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: our government, a lot of good laws. But I think
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the other laws that outweigh the good laws. Amen, that's
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: not even the problem. The problem is whose law are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you following. You're following the laws of the world or
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the laws of the Lord. You're following the ways of God,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: or you're following the ways of the world. Think about it,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and once you start thinking clearly about this, you start understanding, Yeah,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I see everything that's happening. But now I know that
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the world system doesn't work, it's broken, it's falling. Somebody
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: has to come and fix it. And that's somebody tells
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: us to hold on, be patient, occupy until I return.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And that's someone is the name. His name is called
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: name Jesus, the Lord, the Christ. Yeshi wahamashiek. He's coming
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: back soon. So we have I know I've done this
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of times on the morning Devo temporary verse,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: eternal I focus. I know I did this a lot
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of times because I think what's happening is we're looking
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: at the temporary pain, the temporary problem, the temporary turmoil,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the temporary governmental system, and we're forgetting that we have
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: an eternal focus in eternal kingdom and eternal God and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: eternal love and eternal savior. So the world focuses on
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the temporary pleasures, right and instant gratification social media, instant gratification, kingdom,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: focus on eternal impact and spiritual fruit Tewod Grindings four eighteen.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Jesus warned us not to store riches on this earth,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: but to store riches in heaven. Amen. But listen, I
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: am out of time. I'm just trying to let you know. Yeah,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I'm praying. Be prayful, Be praying for what's happening, the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: ice of situation, the rioting, all that stuff that we're
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: hearing echoed around the world, echoed in our country. Be
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: mindful of that. But don't let fear come into the equation.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And don't let the enemy deceive you that tries to
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: make you believe that the world system works better than
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God. We are standing up, we're standing tall,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we're standing out, and we're believing and trusting in the Holy,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Righteous God of Heaven. Enter. Amen, that's the Lord. So
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming through. Thank you so
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: much for hanging out with me for this morning. Devo.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I want to send you all away with a blessing. Amen. God,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: bless you all. God keep you all, and remember always
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that God is good. Peace.
