  Speaker 1: and connecting right now or on the podcast or from
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: wherever you're listening to This Morning Devo or.

  Speaker 2: Watching This Morning Devil.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I pray a hedge of protection in the eternal way
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that God has for you and God has for me
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that we can hope in Christ to know that He
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is the author and perfector of our faith, that He
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is alive, that he is coming back, and that all
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: his promises in his word according to the scriptures are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: all yay and amen.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I pray load God that you hour we just bring
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: our faith.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: To another level, renew our minds, restore all those things
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that have been taken away. I pray lo God for
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: health to our bodies and strength to our bones as well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in a powerful name of Jesus, I praise by faith
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and those who agree, we say amen to the amen.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go for it. Let's take sixty seconds. Help me
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: share this out so we can break the algorithm and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: get this to more people as possible. I'll be right
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: back after the sixty seconds. Let's go alright, let's go
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's see what the word of God the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: scriptures say today for us. Let's apply what we learned
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a man very important not to just hear the word,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but to be doers of the word. Not just to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be the word, but apply what you know to be
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: true in your life and in my life, and apply
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that in real time, so that way we can see
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord move in our lives. A lot of people say,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen God do anything for me. I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: know if this is true, or I don't know the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: will of God over my life. Well, maybe you need
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to apply what you know to be true in your
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: life right now today, so that way you can see
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: God move in your life in real time.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I know people they separate. Oh, that's what the Bible says,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: but in real life. You ever heard people say that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in real life? Like if we're not all living in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: real life, and if the Word is not relevant in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: our lives today, we have a hope in Christ, not
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a hope and hope not a hope in faith. We
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: have a hope in Jesus, the Christ, the Lord and Savior. Amen,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: My Lord and Savior. I don't know about you, but
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I know God reveal himself to me. He didn't have to,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and I thank Him for his grace and his mercy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Because the way I approached the Lord and the way
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I got saved in my testimony, the way back in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one is different.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And if it wasn't because of Jesus changing and transforming
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: my life, I don't know if I'll be sitting here
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It'd be different.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Right now, it be like I said, thank you, Lord
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus for your grace, because Wow, the way I.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Approached a loving, holy, righteous.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: God, all powerful God, omnistion God, Almighty God, and how
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he treated me even in my crazy response to him.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Next level. Amen.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's why I know the Lord is real because I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: had a personal encounter with him, not a religious experience
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: with him. Nobody convinced me to be a born again believer.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Nobody argued me into the Kingdom of God.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Nobody forced me to do what I'm doing right now.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: There's no money, amen, no bribery, none of that. I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: have a hope in Christ because Christ showed up in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: my life. What about you people right now that's listening
• 8:11

• 8:16
  Speaker 1: encounter with the Lord.

• 8:21
  Speaker 1: right place and then the right person, and that person

  Speaker 1: eternal hope we have in Christ. Pointing to God's promises.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Pointing to God's promises means that we're pointing to the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: bigger picture. You ever seen somebody go through a tough season,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You've ever been through a tough season.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: There's a bigger picture time.
• 12:00

• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that the next day still comes and everybody else is

  Speaker 1: still living their life a man. So God will encourage
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: me and encourage you and inspire you a man, and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: be with you, and that you realize that you're holding
• 12:17

  Speaker 1: You're holding on to the hand of the way, the truth,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and the life. You're holding on to Jesus, and that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: will encourage you to put your hope, faith and trust
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in Him because he's taking you through tough seasons, taking
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you through bad times, taking you through illness and disease,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: taking you through when you lose a loved one, taking
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you through when the finance is not right, taking you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: through when your relationships need help, taking you through when
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it's transitioning, going on. God is the one we could
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: hope in because we're hoping in Christ, the completion of Yahweh,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the completion of Jehovah, is Jesus, and we have hope
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in him. Small on groups like maybe in your church
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: or my church, we have connect groups some people call
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: small groups.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: We could be like family during tough seasons because we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: place our hope not really in each other, Amen, but
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we place our hope in the one who is above
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and the one who is alive in us by way
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit, and that is Christ, Jesus. There's never
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: been a time in my life after I was saved,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: because before I was saved, I was hopeless. But when
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I got born again, when I got saved. When the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Lord saved me, restued me, took me from my dark
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: place and brought me into his marvelous like. I knew
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I could trust in him. I knew I could have
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: hope in Him and Christ. I knew right away that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't about a religious experience, because I had those
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: religious experiences. I had those spiritual experiences before Christ saved me.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So I knew there was something in a spiritual realm, amen,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: or some things in the spiritual realm.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I already knew that.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: But I now knew since two thousand and one that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I could put my whole faith and trust in the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: one who rescued me, the one who saved me, the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: one who renewed me, restored me, the one who redeemed me,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and the one who transformed me. I have hope in Christ,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and you can have hope in Christ. And I pray
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: today that you will put your whole life in the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hands of the one who gave you life, that you
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: will put your trust in the one who offered you
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: eternal life. You could put your faith in the one
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: right that is faith, the one that is the Amen,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the one who is the Christ, the one who.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Is the Messiah, the Machik McGee.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I pray that you today will receive a spark, receive
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a revelation, receive an impartation, receive a transformation today because
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you have hope in Christ. Sharing testimonies of how God
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: came through before in your life is in a amazing
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: way to encourage and inspire people to put their hope
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: in Christ. The same God who changed me, the same
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: God who protects me. The same God who saved me,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: rescued me, redeem me.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: The same God who transformed me is the same God
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that can transform you.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: We're hoping in.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Christ Jesus, not in some guru, not in some religion,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: not in some church. No, we're hoping, not in hope.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: We're not hoping knowing, not in faith. We're hoping in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, the Lord.

  Speaker 1: Right when you have an anchor, and we have that,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: hope is an anchor for the soul.

  Speaker 2: It's firm.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Hope is firm and secure, eternal assurance, that insurance, even
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: though that's part of it too. And man, we have

  Speaker 1: fire insurance. We ain't going to the place of fire.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to a place of lights. We're going to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the place of eternal hope. We're going to a place
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: of eternal peace. We're going to a place called heaven.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And man, we have that because of the promise of
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: God through the Lord Jesus. Amen, we have that because

  Speaker 1: we are putting our faith, hope and trust in the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: one who's worthy of our faith, hope and trust, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: that's the Lord Jesus. Sharing testimonies with how God came
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: through before a man would encourage other brothers and sisters
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to be like, you know what, I could put my
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: hope and I could put my faith and trust in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that same Lord that Sam serves. I could put my hope,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: faith and trust in that same Lord that sanctified, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that brother Frank and that sister Joyce puts that hope
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and faith and trust in. Why because we're testifying, we
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: know that if it wasn't because of the Lord's grace,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: where would we be. We know if it wasn't for
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the Lord's mercy, we wouldn't be here. We know that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: For the Lord's protection, we'll be out of here.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: In situations that we've all gone through gone through, we
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: know that there has to be a God. Even atheists
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: know that there has to be a God. They just
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: don't want to admit it. They'd rather, you know, have
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: this way of thinking that they don't need a god,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: because if there is a God, then that means there
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: has to be changed in their lives. And a lot
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: of atheists they don't want that change, Amen, and they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to admit it. It's called pride, ladies and gentlemen.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: An atheists just has a problem not with God. They
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: have a problem with their own pride, basically, Amen, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: their pride and their arrogance and their intellect will confuse them.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That's why I love atheists, and Jesus love loves atheists.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: God loves the atheists because it doesn't depend. God is
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: not real or not real depending on a man's or
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: woman's opinion. God is real because he is the Great
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I am. He is who he says he is all
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the time. There's not one day that goes by that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: God is not Amen present, He's everywhere here. That's Jehovah Shama.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: He is the God of heaven and earth. He's not
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: running this world system. I should be obvious. I hope
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you know that God is not running the world system.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: The Lord is not running the world system. If he
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: was running the world system, it would be correct, wildn't
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: be corrupt.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But he and his promises are correct and true all
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the time, not just today, not just yesterday, but forevermore.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. God is faithful,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: He's good. So hope in Christ he was.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Chapter six, verse nineteen gives us this big look a
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: man at a way that we could look at our hope.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of people who are realizing are questioning themselves,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: right is this really true? I've been there?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Right is this really all true? Because it's too good
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to be true? And growing up, my parents used to say,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: if it's too good to be true, then it's not true.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: But God is good, He's extra good. I don't know
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: what that word is, right, but He is good all
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the time. It's true that God is good all the time.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Even in my worst days, God is still good. Even
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: when I don't feel like obeying the Lord.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: God is still good.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Even if you know, the worst thing happens in my
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: family and all my life, God is still good. His
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: goodness doesn't depend on how I'm feeling. His goodness doesn't
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: depend on how you're feeling. His goodness doesn't depend on
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: people's opinion about him. His goodness is there because He
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: is good, and only God is good. The only good
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: thing in me, the only good thing in you, is
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit of God living through us, living in us.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Right the hope of glory. We have a hope that
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: people don't have. That's why we shouldn't be going around arrogant.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: That's why we shouldn't be going around pointed fingers. That's
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: why we shouldn't be sending everybody to hell. That's why
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't be judging the outsiders.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Amen. We should be.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Loving, we should be encouraging, we should be inspiring, we
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: should be praying. We should be preaching the Gospel everywhere
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: we go, so that way people will know that. Listen,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: these people, although they don't have it all together, because
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: nobody has it all together right, but we have one
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: who does have it all together. And we present the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus in conversations, we present the Lord Jesus in community,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: we present the Lord Jesus in life. We present the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus at work, at school, anywhere you go. The
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God goes with you anywhere you are. Holy
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Spirit is with you. If you're born again, this is
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to the church. I'm talking to the body
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of Christ. Because you're not born again, you're not inspired,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you're uninspired. You're reading the scriptures uninspired, and you won't
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: really get no understanding of the scriptures.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: When you read an inspire word uninspired, you're not going
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to get it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I know before I was born again, Before
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: as a Christian, I s a you know, look at
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the Bible. When I was having a Catholic experience, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: although it seemed like I was getting some information right,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I wasn't getting the inspiration I needed photo scriptures to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: be right in my life. Personally, I was just going
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: along with the flow. People were repeating the same thing.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So I was like, well, this must be the way
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to do it, this must be the way to go,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and this must be something I could check off and say, yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I went to Mass. I went to the Mass service,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: but I wasn't really living that life. You know, they
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: still on the block where I grew up at it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: They's to make fun of me and say, yo, Sam's
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the church boy now, because they knew I had some
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: connection to the Catholic Youth Organization, the CYO AMEN, but
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: they knew deep down that I was like, not really
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in touch.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I wasn't really all in.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I was all in with what I was doing in
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the streets with my boys, but I wasn't all in
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: with what I was doing with the Catholic Youth Organization.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And it's a shame, man, I don't I'm not proud
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of that. It's just the truth of my part of
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: my testimony was. I wasn't all in before until the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Lord saved my life, until the Lord transforming, until I
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: had a personal encounter with the real God of the scriptures,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: no one was able to convince me. No one could
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: argue me into the kingdom or argue.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Me out of the kingdom. There was nothing for usd
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: none of that. Amen.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, when I got saved, I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: was drunken high. People were like, how is that possible?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Well take that to the Lord.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Amen. It's my testimony. I know what happened.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I was there, Amen. And not only was I there,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus showed up. I had an encounter with God.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That's why nobody could tell me there is no God.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I know where I was headed, I know what I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: was doing. I know where I came from.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Amen. I never forget that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And that day it's like eesched in my heart, etched
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: in my mind, like for eternity. I know what happened, Amen,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and I know that God is real. Good morning, sister Joanne,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I see good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the morning. Devo Jacy Sanctified says, like an instrument out
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of the like an instrument out of tune. Man, I'm stuttering,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I'm blabbery, my bad, like an instrument out of tune.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: When we aren't connected with God, we're just making noise.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: You got to hit it on the nail, my bro.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And I was making a lot of noise, man, And
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that goes for most of us, right.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: We didn't know what we were saying. We didn't know
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: what we were doing.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And man, if you ever heard a band and the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: instruments out of tune, you know that's not a good,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: pleasant sound. You know that's a bunch of noise. Thank you,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: bro for the comment. So very true.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: But we are here not based on our hope. We're
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: here based on the hope that we have in Christ.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Think about it. I hope for a lot of things.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I hope, you know, all my children get saved. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: hope that I become a multi mean. I hope that
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: no sickness or just these will come to my family.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I hope in a lot of things, hey man, And
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it's okay to hoping that that's cool. But I hope
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in Christ, which I know for sure he will never
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: fail me. I know for sure his word is true.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I know for sure he's perfect. So I'm hoping, not
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: in hope. I'm not hoping in faith, not hoping in religion.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not hoping in church. I'm hoping in Christ. I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: hope you're getting this. I hope you know that it's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a big difference with that type of hope in Christ.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: So take your time today. He was chapter sixth. The
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: whole chapter. We can't th out of verse number sixteen. Amen,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: we could have remind one another of the eternal hope
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: we have in the Lord Jesus. Thank you so much
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: for hanging out with me for this morning.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Devo. Let me just send you off with a blessing. God.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Bless you all, God keep you all, and remember always
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that God is Good.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Peace.
