  Speaker 1: Wanning family, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Morning Devo. It's your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: sam Rock. So Win is with a z dot org
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: live that so Win is with a z dot org
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and streaming on all the social media platforms that allowed
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: us to go through. Today is a new day, a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: new week, starting of a new week. From the time
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it is recording, it's a Monday, so officially it's the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: start of a new work week, a new week of school,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a new week of life. Heymen, for this new week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. We already
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: know what happened yesterday, but today is a new day,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: so let's start right there.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Amen. When people ask me, hey, how are you, how
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you being? How you doing?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I always say I'm taking it day by day and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it's not the same old, same old. Every day is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a new day today. I can't say that cliche. A
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: lot a lot of people say, you know, the same thing,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: different day every day. It's impossible for the sameness of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the day to have And what happened yesterday is definitely
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: not happening, right, didn't happen right now?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Amen? Right?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So today is the present tomorrow. Who knows tomorrow is
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a new day tomorrow, No.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: One knows what's gonna happen. Tomorrow's up the Lord. Amen.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm excited about today. Why because we have significance.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: You have significance. I have significance. Amen.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: What we do here matters. God made sure we knew
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that according to his word. Some people don't think you're
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: worth anything, unfortunately, and that's a sad place to be.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But you are worth it. We've been talking about that right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: our self worth. You know how God values his very
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: own creation. And he didn't create you for no purpose.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He creates you for a great purpose, a plan that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He has for you on this side of eternity.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And we know that because today here we are right active,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: responding and living during the days that He wants us
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to live. Our days are numbered, yes, and every day
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is a new day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yes. And God knows our last day.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Here before we go to all eternity, either with him
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: or without him. So I always suggest that people take
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: today as a day of salvation, not to a regular day,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and say, oh, I'll get to the Lord tomorrow, or
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: when I get to be like Sam's each then I'll
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: take God seriously. Listen, there's no guarantee of tomorrow. There's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: no guarantee that you're to get older if you're a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: young teenager or maybe even younger than a teenager, and say,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna have my fun and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I'll get serious with God when I get a little older,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like those guys are from church. And however you think
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: about that, Tomorrow's not promised. Today is significant.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Today. You have significance. Amen.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So let's run with the significance, significance that God has
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: for us. We're gonna be in John chapter fifteen, verse
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: number fifteen, Amen, on today's morning devo. And we know
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for sure that we have significance. Christians must find significance
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in their relationships to God, not in themselves or in others.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And that's a typo. It's not relationships to God, relationship
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to God. Amen.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna fix that right now. Y'all know whoever
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: follows me, you know that I don't like typos. Man,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Those things drive me crazy. And I'll be thinking about
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that all through the things. So let me change it
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: right now, amen, and I'll change it everywhere else as
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: we go forward.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So thank you. So much for coming through.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you already know. The live chat is here. That's what
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we're here for. That's what we do, Amen. We create
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: space for people to voice their opinion, to voice their concerns.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Sundays, I try to do a live talk show, a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: calling show called the Kingdom Call, and we had like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: eight or nine people that called in and we got
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: into it. Man, we spoke, prayed, just fellowship over on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that way of communication. Audio only right, everything is not
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in front of a camera over here. As a matter
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of fact, I really like audio better than video. That's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: just me. I'm a little old school, but I like
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: audio better than video. But here we are on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: live stream platforms and also streaming live and so win
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: is with a za org both audio and video.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So God is good at what he does. So listen,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: let's pray first. After we pray, we'll share this out
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds. Help me share this south to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: as many people as possible, and when we come back, we'll.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Get into it. Man, we'll get into it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So significance, you have significance, man, You really matter. So
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: not only on me. You matter to me, But to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so many in your life you might not even know that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You might not have the opportunity to hear people say
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that they value you, that they love you, that they
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I wish their relationship with you. But I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: could guarantee you that someone out here loves you, someone
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: out here knows your value.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Amen, that someone is always with you. His name is
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: If you don't have a personal relationship with him, what
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: are you waiting for? He is so easy to get
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: into a relationship with.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It's just basically three things or two things that you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: have to do to get into a relationship with the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Lord before we go any further. If that's you, listen,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: admit that you need him. Admit that you're a sinner. Right,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: admit that you're a sinner, and turn to the Lord
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus and ask the Lord to forgive you for those sins. Right,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: your sinner, you sinned against the Holy God. We've all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: sinned against a holy God. And then he will forgive you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Not only that, he'll give you his spirit. He'll cleanse
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you from all righteousness, send you his spirit to live
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: within you for the rest of your days. So that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: way he'll guide you. He'll lead you to all true
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: he'll comfort you. It'll be your guide, he'll be a comforter,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he'll be your your counselor right, he'll be your protector
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: as well, all through your life.

• 6:20
  Speaker 1: get connected to the body of Christ. Amen, and soon,
• 6:25

  Speaker 1: we pray, we'll shut us out sixty seconds. When we
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: come back, we'll get into John chapter number fifteen, verse five,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: we will hear from the Lord himself, Father God, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for today. I thank you so
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: much that you said that we're significant, and you said
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that you love us, and you've done the very best
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: for us. So that way, on this side of eternity,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: even though it's not easy, but with you, things get easier.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: With you things and can get real and more real
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: because of your love, your grace and your mercy, your forgiveness,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: your power to save, your power to change. And it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: becomes more significant that we know and have our knowing
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and our ability to have a relationship with you. You're an
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: amazing God. You're an awesome God. You reign supreme and

  Speaker 1: a way that they could understand, in a way that
• 8:08

• 8:10
  Speaker 1: their hearts and their minds right now. You do that,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Lod God, by your Holy Spirit, through your word, through
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: your servant right here in front. I thank you, Lo God,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that you are with us, in us and working through us.
• 8:21

• 8:24
  Speaker 1: every single family member and my family, my whole household,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: my marriage, our children, from the youngest family member to

  Speaker 1: Pray it's by faith and those who agree we say
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: amen and amen, all right, help me share the side.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: When we come back will dive into significance. John chapter fifteen,

  Speaker 2: I've been read back, s hey, man, we're back. We're back,

• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for these cricket gets behind me. They are doing that thing, Amen,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: But like I was telling somebody last week, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be silent as soon as I get out
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: there with a hose and some chemicals that I have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: them to get take care of that issue, because that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: is an issue when it comes to me trying to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: focus on these morning DeVos and all I'm hearing is
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: crickets in the background.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: That's because we early in the morning.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Amen, there's nobody out there, so they're really really noisy
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: doing that thing. God's creation though, and they're there for
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a purpose and a reason. If somebody know, Oh, we
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: already went through that last week. A friend of mine
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: blist tone, he told us why crickets, what are they
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: around for? They're actually a warning when he says, when
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the crickets are silent, that means something's going on outside,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and it's like a they're like a natural or nature
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: way of having a security around your environment. When they're silent,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: something's wrong, and when they're doing that thing, everything's okay.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I did get that information from somebody, So John fifteen fifteen,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. If you know somebody right now
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that will really benefit from these morning DeVos, you could
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: care and keep on sharing this out.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Amen, as we're live. I won't mind. Amen.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The more, the more, the merrier as we come together
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: on these morning DeVos.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Amen. And I'm all tongue tied this morning. Amen.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I had a restless night. I don't think I my
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: mind turned off. My mind was on all night. And man,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you understand what that means. Your
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: body's resting, but it seems like your mind is still
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: thinking of the next day and the future plans and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and it doesn't cause you to go
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: into that deep sleep we were supposed to have. So
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm fidgety and them this morning because I know it
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: felt like that. When I woke up, I was like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: did I really go to sleep or was I But
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: we're here, Amen, God is good. Let me get this
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: on the screen for us to see significance. But those
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: who are just listening, no worries, no problems. We're gonna
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: put We're gonna read this word for words, so that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: way you don't miss a beat of what we're doing
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: over here on the morning devil. Amen, and thank you
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: so much again for coming through John fifteen fifteen, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus says, I no longer call you slaves because a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: since I have told you everything the Father told me.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So Jesus saying, listen, you're no longer slaves. In other words,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you're not forced to believe in him. You're not a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: slave bound to the things of this world any longer.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: You're not a slave bound to sin. You're not a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: slave bound.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: To the dictates of an evil ruler.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: No, you are in communication and the communion also in
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a relationship with the Master.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: The master that confides that doesn't confide in the slaves
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is not a worthy master to this serve. But a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: friend of God is what he calls us. Now, Jesus,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the Lord calls us friends of God since everything the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Father tells him. He tells us why, because the Father
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and the Son and Holy Spirit God are three and one.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So whatever the Lord is speaking is because he's heard
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the Father speaking, and he's repeating what the Father says,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and by way of Holy Spirit, he reminds us of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: his word over your life and over my life is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: an amazing thing. That's why we have significance according to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: who God is. Amen, And what's the meaning of significance?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Let me check.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Let me give you the definition of significance. What is
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the definition of significance?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and asks, because we only will get
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the answer if we act right. So let me ask,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: what is the definition of significance? See if I could
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: get this on the screen.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Amen, And.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Like a serious having a hard time getting that information?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: What is the definition of significance?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Just a question? It says, the quality of being worthy
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of attention, a man worthy of attention. God is mindful
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: of what we're going through. He knows us.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: He knows where we've been, he knows where we're going,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: he knows where we are presently. He knew us before
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: our parents knew us. He molded and informed us and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: fashioned us in our mother's wound and a secret place.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The Bible says he has destiny for us, He has
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: purpose for us. He has a plan for us. We
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: are significant in his eyes.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Amen. We are the.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: People of God. We are the children of God, a
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: man and only Jesus Christ. The Lord gives us the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: benefit of being a children of God.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: He gives us the right to be called old children
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of God. So although a lot of people like to say, oh,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: we're all Got's children, that's not true. We are created
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: in His design and his image. And then Genesis shot,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the Three happened, and the fall of Man happened, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: that created the need for a redeemer, which is the Lord.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And if you look closely, the Bible says, after the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: fall of Man, when Adam and You've got kicked out
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: of the garden, the Bible says, people were created an
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: image of Adam. Amen.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So you know that's deeper than one DeVos should be.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But you could check that out for yourself. But the image,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the design is all from God. How we were created, Amen,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: not random chance. It's not evolution. It's not wow, something
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: blew up and presto, everything came to be. There had
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to be a creator of creation, not creation creating creation.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. There had to be a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: creator of creation, that had to be a first cause
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: for all causes.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Amen. So I don't want to go down that trail.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: But it's a little weird to me how people think
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that we are all here randomly, that we have no significance,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that we're equal with animals. I was watching a Kung
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Fu flick last night and it's case dubbed in English.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: It's Chinese speaking Chinese, and it's dubbed in English, so
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes the English translation doesn't come through. But Brutus Priests
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: was speaking on this Chinese movie. I'm not saying it
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: was real, saying it was a movie, Amen, and says that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: They're animals and men are all equal. That's what the
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: English dub was saying, that we're all equal, And that's
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: not true. God created everything, the heavens and the earth's
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and the sea and efficiency and the birds in the air.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: But then when he created man, he said, it is
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: not good for man to be alone. Create one who
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: is suitable for the man. And he created woman from
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the side of the man. So therefore we have dominion.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Bible says over things that creep on the ground, crickets
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of you know, the things that fly in the air,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: animals that fly in the air, animals that are in the sea,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: we have dominion and rain over them. We're over those
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: type of creative beings. We're not equal too, So there's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a difference. But what the Word says about our significance
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: than what Buddhism. If that's true, if Buddhism really believes
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that mankind and animals are equal, then there's a big
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: difference in our definition of terms. A man according to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the Word of God over a human life. So Christians
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: must find significance in their relationship to God, not in
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: themselves or in others. In other words, don't let anybody
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: tell you that you are not this and you are
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: not that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Pete.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Only what God speaks over your life, and that will
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: give you significance, and that will give you the truth.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Let's see, we had a nickname, right, I'm gonna call
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you mighty Mighty Leon. Amen, thank you for being obedient
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to God's calling for this morning, Devo. It sets the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: tone for my day. Blessings. Amen, it's a humbling thing.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for letting me know. It sets
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a tone, and man, the Word of God will set
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the tone for our lives if.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: We just get into it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Daily, so that way we can know our significance, we
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: can know our worth, We can know our value because
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of what God has done. Thank you so much, Mighty
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: for coming through.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Amen. I'll give you a nickname, Mighty because I always
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: get your name wrong. So sorry.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Amen. So God bless you. Thank you so much for
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: your comment. So we know that we are worth something,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and we are worth a lot to the Lord. If
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we weren't worth it, man, like I said the other time,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: he would have not came and died on the cross
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: for us. He would have been like, you know what,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: but it's not worth it. He would have said it
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: in his word. He would have said, listen, Mankind's not
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: worth it. Just said it a man.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: God's a God of truth. He's a god of love,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: He's got of mercy, a god of justice. Amen.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: He is just, he's merciful, and he's kind. Almighty God
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: right that he could basically do anything he wants to do.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yet he has a gentle spirit concerning us, Amen, And
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: he's involved with our everyday involvements, and he wants us
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to know that no relationship outside of him can give
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: us the worth and the significance that he's calling us
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and telling us that we have Amen. He's calling us
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to a higher purpose. He's calling us to a high level.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: The Bible actually says that we're already seated in heavenly places. Man,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we're better than the next person. It
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: means that we have a better way if they're not
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: in the same way that we're living. Like a christ
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: follower lives in the narrow path, and we walk in
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: narrow path, but we are heavily minded and we are
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: earthly good at the same time.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Amen. Well, God has significance for us being here today.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: God has chose this day for you to live, to
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: do something right, to make a difference to somebody's life,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: to preach the gospel. Maybe hug somebody, smile at somebody,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: listen to somebody's story. Amen. That really matters to a
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: lot of people. Amen.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I know it would matter to me. If I was
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: going through something and I was trying to be heard
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and people weren't listening, that would like discourage me and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: be like, man, no one cares. Right, if I'm going
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: through something, I make sure I tell somebody something.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I'll go to a brother like a dad yesterday. I'll
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: tell a brother listen, and when they ask you, how
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: are you doing? It's not too good right now?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm upfront, and if they listen, you know, I'm
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: grateful for their listening ear, but also grateful for people
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: praying amen for me when things are not doing going
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so well with my family. When things are not going
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: so well for you, I'll pray for you and your
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: family continuously the Man through the good times and the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: bad times.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Yesterday it made a year of one of my close
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: friends that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Went to be with the Lord last year and men
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and his family had flowers and his wife had flowers,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and I was like, what's going on. I thought it
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: was for because we had a baptism at church. And
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: she told me, notice in one year that her husband
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: has been gone, and man, and that and that's that's tough,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I take that to heart,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and I'd be like, man, that's that's tough. And you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: time goes by so fast you don't realize how fast
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the days go. Three hundred and sixty five days went
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: like it was a blink of an eye. While everybody's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: doing anything and life goes on as usuful as usual.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Right, Some people are grieving. Some people are hurt, some
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: people lost loved ones. They men, And I'm mindful of that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: And guess who is mindful of as well? Lord a man,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: he's mindful. He knows when were hurt. As a matter of.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Fact, the Bible says that God's closest to the broken hearted.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: So those who are grieving, to those who are going
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: through tough times in life. It's not only about the mountaintop,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: is about the valley as well. He's the guy who's
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: with us in the mountaintop experience, and he's the guy
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: who's with us in the valley experience. Why, because we
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: have significance. We matters to God. Amen. So whoever's going
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: around telling you listen, that's bibliology. Like I saw a
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: video yesterday, this man was spitting at the street preacher
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and said, that's bibliology. You all got the crowd, don't
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: listen to him. It's a false teaching. It's about the Bible, this, that,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and the third. He was full of anger. You know
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that the preacher kept on preaching. The preacher kept on
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: going about his business, preaching the word in the street,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and that man just left. He left angry because the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: power of God's Word overcomes the power of darkness and
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: demonic influences and all that stuff and hatred and violence.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: The Word of God comes and opposes all that And
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: guess who gets the victory, the Lord. So I don't
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: know why people go around saying that we have no
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: significance in this world as believers in Christ, that we're
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: following the ancient, outdated book. No, we are following a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: book that has relevance right now today, in our time
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and our today and our now moment.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: God's word is available to us through his word. Amen.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: So the joint says, I've been down that road. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: know how it feels.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, And when we know how it feels, we could
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: let people other people know who are we hoping in
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to get us through this or who we hoped in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: when we're going through those times we hoped in the Lord.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And the Lord never disappointed us. A man, he would
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: never disappoint you. He would never disappoint you. Good morning,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Manuel Johnson, is good to see you in the morning, Devo.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: So listen amount of time, But I really want you
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to concentrate in John fifteen, the whole chapter for yourself.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I no longer this to Jesus.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: He said, I no longer call you servants, because a
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: called you friends. For everything that I learned from my father,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I have made known to you because he wants us
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: to know our significance. He wants us to know.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Everything that he has for us is for a purpose
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and a plan. Perez, perez. God bless you a man.
• 25:26

  Speaker 2: God bless you. Good morning to you as well. A man.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And God's word is relevant for aspects of life. Amen.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And we live in a new covenant and the new promises,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: which the Bible says is a better promise, a better covenant.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: So God bless you all. Thank you so much for
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: hanging out with me. God keep you all, and remember
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: always that God is good.
