0:17
Speaker 1: platforms that allow the stream to go through. I'll just
0:19
Speaker 1: put it like that and also on our YouTube page,
0:22
Speaker 1: Dj sam Rock and we're here back in the building,
0:25
Speaker 1: back in the studio for another session. I try to
0:27
Speaker 1: do these Mondays through Fridays five thirty am Eastern Standard time.
0:31
Speaker 1: A man very early in the morning for me at least,
0:34
Speaker 1: I know the people are early birds. Naturally, I'm a
0:38
Speaker 1: night our Supernaturally, I'm a morning bird. Amen. So, Spiritual
0:42
Speaker 1: boot Camp, we're training, right, We're training and righteousness was
0:46
Speaker 1: training in our physical. We're training in our spiritual. We're
0:51
Speaker 1: training and our mental. We're training in our motions. We're training. Amen,
0:54
Speaker 1: as we go through life as a born again believer.
0:57
Speaker 1: If you're not a believer in Christ's the spiritual boot camp,
1:00
Speaker 1: it's not for you, plain and simple. If we have
1:03
Speaker 1: to first get enlisted into the Army of God before
1:07
Speaker 1: you go through the boot camp. Right a man, Spiritual
1:10
Speaker 1: boot Camp Today in the morning Devo we're gonna be
1:14
Speaker 1: talking about recognizing the enemy's tactics right, rejecting them out loud.
1:21
Speaker 1: We reject the enemy's tactics out loud. Amen, we don't
1:26
Speaker 1: play around with the enemy. He doesn't play around with us.
1:29
Speaker 1: So this is all our war. But in spiritual boot camp,
1:32
Speaker 1: we recognize the enemy's tactics, We reject his tactics out
1:36
Speaker 1: loud and replace them with christ like actions. Christ Like
1:41
Speaker 1: actions until Godliness becomes your reflex. Amen. Godliness should be
1:50
Speaker 1: when we're pressed, godliness to come oozing out of us,
1:53
Speaker 1: when we're stressed, Godliness to come oozing out of us.
1:56
Speaker 1: Because stress and how you call it, stress and anxiousness
2:04
Speaker 1: and depression like are all related. When you're stressed out,
2:09
Speaker 1: you might become depressed. When you're depressed, you might become anxious.
2:12
Speaker 1: When you're anxious, you might have fear. And fear is
2:15
Speaker 1: not the spirit of the Lord. Fear is not the
2:17
Speaker 1: spirit that God gave us a man. Fear is something else,
2:23
Speaker 1: an external spirit trying to come into our spirituality. So
2:28
Speaker 1: when we're in spiritual boot camp, we're recognizing these things.
2:31
Speaker 1: We're coming against those things out loud. We're using the
2:34
Speaker 1: word of God to combat all of that. We're gonna
2:36
Speaker 1: be in Ephesians chapter four, verses twenty two and twenty four.
2:39
Speaker 1: Ephesians four, verses twenty two to twenty four. Today on

7:56
Speaker 1: you allow me to do sometimes for free. Amen, because
7:59
Speaker 1: your support, your spiritual support, your prayer and all that.
8:03
Speaker 1: I don't take that for granted. Thank you for all
8:05
Speaker 1: the sponsors that have sponsored Celebrito Network the ministry online
8:11
Speaker 1: since the very beginning. Some are sponsoring now, some are
8:14
Speaker 1: looking to sponsor it, some are thinking about sponsoring. Thank
8:17
Speaker 1: you for considering me for anything, for the Kingdom of God, Amen,
8:21
Speaker 1: and for the network to continue to move on forward.
8:24
Speaker 1: Ministry is free. I do these things free, but there's
8:28
Speaker 1: a cost, and it's a price to pay. I woke
8:29
Speaker 1: up today to a notice that something wasn't paid, and
8:32
Speaker 1: if I don't pay it asap, a man, something will
8:34
Speaker 1: be disrupted in the ministry. That's how important it is
8:38
Speaker 1: for me to keep on going, not worry about anything,
8:41
Speaker 1: but continue to trust God for his favor with himself
8:45
Speaker 1: and favor with people. Amen. And hopefully that'll move people
8:49
Speaker 1: to a place where we could all support one another.
8:52
Speaker 1: A man, when you support this ministry, you're not only
8:54
Speaker 1: supporting this ministry, supporting other ministries and other families and
8:58
Speaker 1: people could testify of that fat of the soone's ink
9:03
Speaker 1: and celebrate the network. So thank you so much. I
9:05
Speaker 1: didn't want to let another day go by without thinking
9:08
Speaker 1: every single person out there that has provided that has
9:11
Speaker 1: prayed for me in the ministry and has donated financially,
9:15
Speaker 1: thank you so much. So let me get to the scripture, Amen,
9:19
Speaker 1: before I get sentimental, start crying, right, So let's go
9:23
Speaker 1: for it. Spiritual boot camp. We're in this training ground together. Amen.
9:28
Speaker 1: I believe it like this, that life is a training right.
9:32
Speaker 1: And when we choose Christ, now we're enlisted. We're in
9:34
Speaker 1: the army of God. And this is practice. Perfect practice
9:38
Speaker 1: makes perfect, not regular practice makes perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
9:42
Speaker 1: And the last time I checked, the only perfect one
9:44
Speaker 1: that we can trust, the only perfect one that we
9:47
Speaker 1: could imitate, is the Lord Jesus Christ. And he demonstrated
9:51
Speaker 1: his own love in this that while I was still
9:54
Speaker 1: an enemy of God, that while you were still an
9:56
Speaker 1: enemy of God, he still died for us. Amen, and
10:00
Speaker 1: promise us eternal life for all those who repent. Repent
10:04
Speaker 1: means turn. Stop what you're doing that's unrighteous, Stop there
10:08
Speaker 1: and turn to the righteous one, and he'll give us
10:11
Speaker 1: the He'll enable us, empower us. Amen, and give us
10:15
Speaker 1: the power and authority that we already have because of
10:19
Speaker 1: the finished work of Christ. But now we are in
10:22
Speaker 1: the applied work of Christ, the finished work. We're already
10:24
Speaker 1: seated in heavny places. The applied work. We need to
10:27
Speaker 1: be in spiritual boot camp. We need to be training
10:30
Speaker 1: and growing in righteousness and growing in our knowledge of
10:33
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. So the finished work, Amen,
10:36
Speaker 1: is already done. Jesus said it is finished to tell
10:39
Speaker 1: us did and then the applied work is by way
10:42
Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit. And then the applied work is that
10:45
Speaker 1: we're experiencing the benefits of what Jesus already finished. Amen.
10:50
Speaker 1: And because Jesus finished his work, we have the ability
10:54
Speaker 1: and the enablement and the empowerment of Holy Spirit to
10:57
Speaker 1: live a godly and righteous life. Right no matter what
11:00
Speaker 1: the situation that we face, maybe we still live godly,
11:05
Speaker 1: righteous lives. Amen. Do we make mistakes? Absolutely? Is not
11:09
Speaker 1: anybody that you know or you don't know that has
11:12
Speaker 1: never made a mistake in their life. The only one
11:15
Speaker 1: who has never made a mistake. And I've heard people
11:17
Speaker 1: blasphem Jesus and say that Jesus made many mistakes. I
11:21
Speaker 1: heard that, and they can't back it up. They just
11:23
Speaker 1: say it because they want to say it. But Jesus
11:25
Speaker 1: never made a mistake. You're not a mistake when he
11:27
Speaker 1: created you. I'm not a mistake when he created me.
11:30
Speaker 1: God doesn't make any mistakes. God, the Father got, the Son,
11:33
Speaker 1: got the Holy Spirit. Rock elohem, Amen, the breath of
11:36
Speaker 1: life doesn't make a mistake. The Triune God three and one,
11:40
Speaker 1: we don't serve three guys, we serve one God in
11:43
Speaker 1: three persons. Amen. So shout out to all my Muslim
11:47
Speaker 1: friends and Jehovah witness friends that always mock us about
11:51
Speaker 1: our triune or trinity belief. Amen, because they don't get
11:54
Speaker 1: the revelation, they don't have Holy Spirit God leading them
11:57
Speaker 1: into the revelation, and humanly we can't explain it anyway.
12:02
Speaker 1: That's a God situation. Amen. That's God doing what God
12:06
Speaker 1: could do and revealing himself through it, through his power,
12:09
Speaker 1: through his authority. Amen. Spiritual boot camp, we're in here amen,
12:14
Speaker 1: as spiritual warriors for Christ. We're amen, warriors of the Cross,
12:19
Speaker 1: and we're in the army of God. Ephesians chapter Ooh,
12:23
Speaker 1: I didn't put the I didn't put the reference on
12:26
Speaker 1: the screen. But we're in Ephesians chapter four, verses twenty
12:29
Speaker 1: two to twenty four. The Bible says that regarding your
12:33
Speaker 1: previous way of life, right, regarding that like our passed,
12:38
Speaker 1: you put off your old self, completely discard your former
12:43
Speaker 1: and nature. Just throw it out. Man. If you're born again,
12:46
Speaker 1: you're a new creation in Christ. Throughout the old nature.
12:49
Speaker 1: It's not I do anybody any good. I fight my
12:52
Speaker 1: old nature all the time. It's called the flesh. What
12:54
Speaker 1: about you, which is being corrupted through deceitful desires? Right
13:01
Speaker 1: so throughout your previous way of life, because that way
13:05
Speaker 1: of life is being corrupted anyway through deceitful desires, and
13:09
Speaker 1: be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind. That
13:15
Speaker 1: means having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude. It's
13:22
Speaker 1: a new day. Every day is new. God is doing
13:24
Speaker 1: something new in your life and my life every single day,
13:29
Speaker 1: and put on the new self, the regenerated and renewed
13:34
Speaker 1: nature created in God's image, God like, in the righteousness
13:41
Speaker 1: and holiness of the Truth, living in a way that
13:45
Speaker 1: expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation. Amen, this
13:51
Speaker 1: is big. This is If you get this and I
13:55
Speaker 1: get this in the hearts and minds, we're gonna be
13:58
Speaker 1: winning and winning and over the flesh. More often the
14:06
Speaker 1: flesh sometimes wins its little battles. But ultimately God already
14:10
Speaker 1: has given us this born again experience. We have tasted
14:13
Speaker 1: and seen that God is good. The world doesn't have
14:16
Speaker 1: anything over the Kingdom of God. I wouldn't trade the
14:19
Speaker 1: peace of God for any type of money, any type
14:22
Speaker 1: of relationship, and any type of false reality, any type of opportunity, nothing.
14:28
Speaker 1: The peace of God that I have is because I
14:30
Speaker 1: have the peace with God. So I have the peace
14:32
Speaker 1: of God. You know what I'm talking about. If you
14:35
Speaker 1: have the peace of God, we have the worst time,
14:37
Speaker 1: the worst day, the worst situation of life, and that
14:40
Speaker 1: peace is still with us. The peace of the Lord
14:43
Speaker 1: remains Amen. While other people get all crazy when they're
14:47
Speaker 1: going through situations in life and they lose hope, they
14:50
Speaker 1: lose their mind right, they lose their righteousness and their
14:55
Speaker 1: attitude of righteousness. They meant we as believers, we never
14:59
Speaker 1: lose that we go through tough times. I don't know
15:02
Speaker 1: why people think that Christians don't have feelings, that we
15:06
Speaker 1: don't go through hard times, that we don't struggle a man.
15:09
Speaker 1: We struggle. I think a little bit more a man.
15:12
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is just my humble opinion. I
15:14
Speaker 1: think as believers, our eyes are open. We struggle more
15:17
Speaker 1: than people who don't believe because they're being deceived and
15:20
Speaker 1: they're living in a delusion. We live in a reality,
15:23
Speaker 1: the reality of life, the reality of the life giver,
15:26
Speaker 1: reality of the eternal life giver that lives a man,
15:30
Speaker 1: our redeemer lives. He opens the eyes of the blind.
15:34
Speaker 1: We were spiritually blind before Jesus opened up our eyes.
15:38
Speaker 1: We were spiritually deaf before Jesus gave us hearing. We
15:42
Speaker 1: were spiritually mute until Jesus gave us a voice a man.
15:47
Speaker 1: Spiritual boot camp is that serious, And it's a day
15:49
Speaker 1: to day boot camp. Every day is a new war.
15:52
Speaker 1: Every day is a new battle. My brother JC sanctified
15:55
Speaker 1: God bless you. Bro. Welcome to the morning Devo. It's
15:57
Speaker 1: good to see you on the morning Devo. Real in
16:00
Speaker 1: the field. Absolutely every day it's something new, and check
16:04
Speaker 1: it out. We are actually the heroes of the day
16:08
Speaker 1: and you're surrounding because we have the heroic one living
16:11
Speaker 1: within us, the hope of glory. So we could do
16:15
Speaker 1: two things. We could either retreat and surrender, or we
16:18
Speaker 1: could go forward in victory and help others that don't
16:22
Speaker 1: know any better. Help the blind across the street. If
16:26
Speaker 1: you see a blind person and they're trying to cross
16:28
Speaker 1: a busy street, four lanes and all that, are you
16:32
Speaker 1: just gonna let that blind person take the chance without
16:35
Speaker 1: helping them out right? And that's in the physical, So
16:38
Speaker 1: imagine how much more in the spiritual we should be
16:41
Speaker 1: helping blind people get across the street get into the
16:45
Speaker 1: promised Land. Now we can only offer what was offered
16:50
Speaker 1: to us. We could only share our testimony of how
16:54
Speaker 1: God changed our lives, and then Holy Spirit will do
16:57
Speaker 1: the convincing and the convicting from there. We can't personally
17:01
Speaker 1: change anybody's heart. I can't personally change your heart. I
17:05
Speaker 1: can't personally save anybody spiritually. But that's the work of
17:09
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit God. Sometimes all we have to do is
17:12
Speaker 1: show up and open our mouth. Sometimes all we have
17:14
Speaker 1: to do is listen to somebody's story. Sometimes all we
17:17
Speaker 1: have to do is give somebody a hug. Sometimes all
17:20
Speaker 1: we have to do is be there in a situation
17:22
Speaker 1: where a person needs help physically, emotionally or spiritually. A man.
17:28
Speaker 1: Sometimes all we have to do is show up. Because
17:31
Speaker 1: you have to realize this that wherever we go, wherever
17:34
Speaker 1: born again believers go, wherever the Sons of God go,
17:37
Speaker 1: wherever the Daughters of God go, the Kingdom of God
17:40
Speaker 1: is with us within us a man. So wherever I go,
17:43
Speaker 1: Heaven comes with me. Wherever I go, the Kingdom of
17:46
Speaker 1: God comes with me. And so is the truth for
17:49
Speaker 1: you as well. Amen. Spiritual boot camp is really to
17:53
Speaker 1: feel like sanctified, said a man and being that is
17:56
Speaker 1: really to feel we have a real God, a man
17:59
Speaker 1: to rely on. We have a real God to trust him.
18:01
Speaker 1: We have a real God to empower us. We have
18:03
Speaker 1: a real God who will direct every single one of
18:06
Speaker 1: our steps and righteousness and holiness. I don't want to
18:10
Speaker 1: be a common Christian the more I want to be
18:11
Speaker 1: a holy Christian. What about you? Common Christians just do
18:15
Speaker 1: the emotions they follow. They know how to do church.
18:18
Speaker 1: A holy Christian is separated, sanctified for the use of
18:21
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God by God, for the use of
18:24
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God to invade or to disrupt the
18:28
Speaker 1: Kingdom of this world, the kingdom of this age right
18:32
Speaker 1: which is absolutely corrupted man, But the Kingdom of God
18:38
Speaker 1: is not corrupted. People confuse corrupt pastors and corrupt churches
18:43
Speaker 1: as the Kingdom of God. Corrupt pastors and corrupt churches
18:48
Speaker 1: are outside of the Kingdom of God. Think about it.
18:51
Speaker 1: They're doing their own thing. They're not carrying on Kingdom principles.
18:55
Speaker 1: They're not carrying on Kingdom attitudes and mindsets. They're doing
18:59
Speaker 1: their own thing. They're weaponizing the word of God for
19:02
Speaker 1: their own purposes, for their own evil, selfish desires, and
19:06
Speaker 1: because of the grace of God, it seemingly works, It
19:10
Speaker 1: seemingly seems to go unnoticed by God. But the ultimate
19:14
Speaker 1: grace of God a man will ultimately run out for
19:19
Speaker 1: those people lest they repent. I believe that grace is
19:22
Speaker 1: so big, The grace of God is so big that
19:24
Speaker 1: when we mess up, or when we see other people
19:27
Speaker 1: messing up big time, and seemingly nothing happens, that's actually
19:31
Speaker 1: the grace of God. God loves us so much that
19:35
Speaker 1: he gives us so much time to repent, so much
19:38
Speaker 1: time to turn from that wickedness or whatever it is.
19:41
Speaker 1: A man remember, submit to God, resist the devil, and
19:44
Speaker 1: the devil will flee. The enemy is always lurking, the
19:47
Speaker 1: enemies always plying, the enemies always scheming. But he doesn't
19:50
Speaker 1: do anything new. Everything that the enemy does has been rehearsed.
19:55
Speaker 1: He's dangerous not because he has any power over us.
19:57
Speaker 1: He's dangerous because he's old. He's old, and he's gifted
20:03
Speaker 1: in deception, He's gifted in lives. He's actually the father
20:07
Speaker 1: of lies. He knows how to push our fleshley buttons,
20:12
Speaker 1: so Yeah, this is not a total toal fight with
20:14
Speaker 1: the devil. The devil is already defeated. This is a
20:16
Speaker 1: total toal fight with the demonic influences that you and
20:20
Speaker 1: I are surrounded by in our territories, in our communities,
20:24
Speaker 1: in our neighborhoods, in our families, in our churches. We
20:28
Speaker 1: come against those things. A man, we renounced, We train
20:31
Speaker 1: to renounce evil, and we do what the Word says
20:34
Speaker 1: in Ephesians. A man, we do what the Word says
20:36
Speaker 1: in Ephesians chapter four and twenty two and twenty four.
20:39
Speaker 1: We put off the old self. Amen, and we live
20:43
Speaker 1: with gratitude like we're thankful for what God has done
20:46
Speaker 1: in our lives. Put it off our old self, our
20:48
Speaker 1: own evil, simple desires is corrupt, and we live in
20:52
Speaker 1: the newness of Christ, a man on the day to day.
20:56
Speaker 1: So continue renewal. Put off your old self, put on
20:59
Speaker 1: the new self. Put off your old self, put on
21:02
Speaker 1: your new self. Say that over and over again. The
21:05
Speaker 1: old self is you already know it messed you up
21:08
Speaker 1: last time, right, It will concee to mess us up
21:11
Speaker 1: if we continue to follow the old patterns of our
21:14
Speaker 1: old self, which is always there. By the way, The
21:16
Speaker 1: Bible confirms there's always going to be war between the
21:19
Speaker 1: flesh and the spirit of God. That's deep. A man,
21:22
Speaker 1: if you think you're not in some kind of war outside,
21:26
Speaker 1: make sure you know that you're in a war inside,
21:28
Speaker 1: internal warfare. And it's with the mind, not with the
21:31
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, but with the mindset. Amen. Holy Spirit is
21:35
Speaker 1: always renewing. Holy Spirit is always perfect always. Holy Spirit
21:38
Speaker 1: is always powerful. Holy Spirit is always willing. Amen. It's
21:41
Speaker 1: the flesh that's weak. Since Juanne, I see you, Good morning, God,
21:44
Speaker 1: bless you. Welcome back to the morning. Devo, my sister
21:46
Speaker 1: and my friend. Put off your old self, put on
21:50
Speaker 1: a new self. Create it to be like who be
21:53
Speaker 1: like God. People are saying, there's no way, you know,
21:56
Speaker 1: it would take God. Yes, yeah, you have to be
21:59
Speaker 1: We're supposed to be im. Say this is a God right.
22:02
Speaker 1: The exploits that Jesus did when he was on the
22:05
Speaker 1: earthly ministry, the Bible says, we do more exploits. Amen,
22:09
Speaker 1: we do more things than when Jesus did. Jesus humbled
22:12
Speaker 1: himself to be a suffering servant. He humbled himself to
22:16
Speaker 1: be in the form of a man. He humbled himself,
22:18
Speaker 1: He limited his own self. Now we have Holy Spirit.
22:22
Speaker 1: We're unlimited. Amen. He's not limiting us. Amen. The only
22:26
Speaker 1: limits we have is based on our physicality. But spiritually,
22:31
Speaker 1: there is no limits to what we could do. In
22:34
Speaker 1: Christ Jesus, he gives us the strength, the empowerment. If
22:38
Speaker 1: he calls us to do something, he'll call us through
22:42
Speaker 1: something like if he calls us to it, he'll call
22:45
Speaker 1: us through it. Amen. We follow the lead, and we
22:50
Speaker 1: just follow follow the facts of our faith. Amen, not
22:55
Speaker 1: the whole fantasy of faith. We have a real faith.
22:58
Speaker 1: We have a real guy. We have a real savior.
23:01
Speaker 1: We have a real redeemer. We have the King of
23:03
Speaker 1: Kings and Lord of Lords. Amen. We have Holy Spirit
23:06
Speaker 1: living and dwelling inside of us. Wherever we go to,
23:09
Speaker 1: Kingdom goes. Wherever we go, Heaven is here. People say, oh,
23:14
Speaker 1: when I get to heaven. We need to rethink that
23:16
Speaker 1: that statement, or when I get to heaven, When I
23:18
Speaker 1: get Heaven is here? Right? Wherever the Lord is, Heaven is,
23:22
Speaker 1: wherever his spirit is, Heaven is. Amen. Wherever the Peace
23:26
Speaker 1: of God is, Heaven is there. Kingdom of God. You know,
23:29
Speaker 1: we suffer violence, and violence takes to buy force. Man.
23:33
Speaker 1: We are in a spiritual war. Amen. Hello, wake up,
23:37
Speaker 1: good morning, and get your call, and get your tea,
23:40
Speaker 1: whatever you do in the morning, and realize that as
23:43
Speaker 1: soon as you step out those doors, Amen, or even
23:46
Speaker 1: in your own home, sometimes you have to come against
23:49
Speaker 1: your old self. You have to come against these demonic ideas.
23:52
Speaker 1: You have to come against influences. And this is without pressure,
23:56
Speaker 1: because I don't worry about those things. I trust God
23:59
Speaker 1: and all the those things, and through those things, those
24:01
Speaker 1: things are gonna hit, fiery darts are gonna come, and
24:04
Speaker 1: we still move forward. And when we're together, we give
24:08
Speaker 1: the enemy a headache. Man, he literally has to leave
24:11
Speaker 1: when we submit to God. Imagine submitting to God. Fifteen
24:15
Speaker 1: twenty thirty people, one hundred people submitting to God right
24:18
Speaker 1: resisting the devil. How many times does the devil have
24:21
Speaker 1: to run out? How many devils are there? There's only
24:24
Speaker 1: one devil, but there's a whole lot of demons, man,
24:27
Speaker 1: and they got to flee. They can't operate successfully. When
24:31
Speaker 1: the born again believers, when the Kingdom of God, when
24:34
Speaker 1: sons and daughters are the Living God unite in righteousness,
24:37
Speaker 1: the enemy doesn't know what to do. He's confused He's like,
24:41
Speaker 1: how what am I going to do now? Can't do
24:43
Speaker 1: nothing new, he can't create anything. So when we stick together,
24:46
Speaker 1: we're powerful churches all over where I'm at that we
24:49
Speaker 1: have valley. I think there's more churches and lee have
24:53
Speaker 1: valley than there is Chinese restaurants pun intended. And if
24:57
Speaker 1: we all got together somehow, some way, We're not gonna
25:00
Speaker 1: all agree with doctrine and stuff. I understand that, but
25:03
Speaker 1: we agree that Jesus's Lord right, we come together, and
25:07
Speaker 1: that alone, we could take over the valley for the
25:10
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. We could really do it. I know
25:13
Speaker 1: it sounds like pie in the sky ideas. It sounds like, oh,
25:15
Speaker 1: we've been trying that for years. I'm just saying it's
25:19
Speaker 1: more than common Christianity, it's holy Christianity. Coming together is
25:24
Speaker 1: a holy thing. Unity is a holy thing, not a
25:28
Speaker 1: common thing. Go ask the pastors in your community why
25:32
Speaker 1: you guys don't come together and just see if they're
25:35
Speaker 1: honest enough to have an excuse, because they don't really
25:38
Speaker 1: have a reason. They just have excuses. Hey, man, Continuum renewal.
25:43
Speaker 1: It requires constant renewal of the mind and spirit. The
25:47
Speaker 1: mind controls the body, the body thinks the mind is crazy.
25:51
Speaker 1: You ever heard that saying? Because mentally I could say
25:55
Speaker 1: to my body, listen, I ain't doing that, right, I
25:58
Speaker 1: rebuke myself in the name of Jesus. And the body
26:01
Speaker 1: is looking and thinking, Sam, you're crazy. What do you
26:04
Speaker 1: mean You're not gonna do that? So the mind thinks
26:07
Speaker 1: the body no, the body thinks the mind is crazy. Right,
26:11
Speaker 1: because the mind of Christ is different than the mind
26:14
Speaker 1: of a regular man or regular woman. The mind of
26:17
Speaker 1: Christ says, no, you can do this. As a matter
26:19
Speaker 1: of fact, you can stop doing this right now. The
26:22
Speaker 1: body and the old carnal mind and the old self
26:26
Speaker 1: is saying, no, don't stop doing that. You know you
26:29
Speaker 1: want to do that. You know that feels good to you,
26:31
Speaker 1: tastes good. You know you want to do those things,
26:33
Speaker 1: So don't stop. That's the flesh trying to tell your spirit,
26:38
Speaker 1: trying to tell Holy Spirit what to do. And we
26:41
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be bullied by our own evil, selful desires.
26:44
Speaker 1: We're gonna be in continual renewal. WHI are We're going
26:47
Speaker 1: through this boot camp, Amen, recognizing that the enemy is
26:51
Speaker 1: our enemy, the devil is our common enemy, our common foe.
26:55
Speaker 1: A man whether you're a believer or not, the devil
26:58
Speaker 1: is still your enemy because you have to realize the
27:00
Speaker 1: devil hates all of God's creation, not just the Church
27:04
Speaker 1: of Christ. Amen, he hates all of God's creation, animals, humans,
27:10
Speaker 1: the creation itself, plants, everything. Because why because he couldn't
27:15
Speaker 1: he couldn't be the one that's in charge, because he
27:19
Speaker 1: was jealous of God. And now because of his jealousy,
27:23
Speaker 1: he was cast out of heaven. God didn't even have
27:25
Speaker 1: to lift the finger, an angel of the Lord cast
27:28
Speaker 1: them out. Amen. And you got to read the scriptures. Man,
27:30
Speaker 1: it's powerful. And so think about this training as a
27:35
Speaker 1: spiritual boot camp, right, recognizing the enemy's tactics, rejecting his
27:41
Speaker 1: plans out loud, out of your mouth. No, not today's
27:44
Speaker 1: saying it sounds like a cliche. Not today's saytan, but yeah,
27:48
Speaker 1: we're really meaning, not today's saying you ain't getting past
27:51
Speaker 1: point A with me or my family, my finances, my health,
27:56
Speaker 1: or anything like that. We need to be those type
27:58
Speaker 1: of believers, Amen, to reject out loud, out of my mouth,
28:03
Speaker 1: replace our ideas where christ like ideas and actions, until
28:09
Speaker 1: Godliness becomes our reflex. Amen. So I'm out of Time
28:15
Speaker 1: Ephesian chapter four. Read the whole chapter for yourself. We
28:18
Speaker 1: camped out of twenty two to twenty four. Amen. We're
28:21
Speaker 1: renowncing evil and we're doing that as a lifelong situation. Amen.
28:27
Speaker 1: So I'm out of here. Thank you so much for
28:28
Speaker 1: hanging out with me. God bless you all. Got to
28:31
Speaker 1: keep you all and remember always that God is good. Peace,
