is. Authentic imitation ology. Every Friday five thirty a m. Eastern Standard
0:15
Time is part of the Blaze Bober Study, part of the Morning Devo series.
0:19
Amen. But a while back last year, the Lord told me he
0:24
gave me two words, authentic and imitation. I was like, authentic imitation
0:29
those words, you know, don't really mesh. But he meant to pay
0:34
authentically an authentic imitator of the Lord Jesus. Amen to follow and imitate after
0:43
the most successful person that has ever lived on this whole entire earth. His
0:48
name is the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. So welcome back to
0:52
live that. So Win is with his z dot org. So Win is
0:55
with his z dot org, which is the Cell out Radio Network, the
0:58
Lehah Valley's number one urban god for music station online since two thousand and eight.
1:02
Can you believe it? And we're still here? All glory to God.
1:06
Amen. I can't take any credit for that. Brother, Robbie Newborn,
1:10
God bless you, man Robert Diaz in the building. Good morning,
1:11
God, bless you, man, and it's good to see you on the
1:15
Morning Devo today on imitationlogy Man, authentic imitationology. Have you ever tried to
1:23
clean yourself? Listen closely clean yourself from sin? Like I'm trying to do
1:29
something about my sin. Have you ever been in that position? And why
1:34
doesn't that work? You think it works? First of all, you know
1:38
our respect. If people think it works, like you could clean your own
1:41
sin, you can cleanse yourself, yourself from all on righteousness. You could
1:45
change yourself, change, save yourself, change yourself, transform yourself, renew
1:49
yourself, redeem yourself. Amen. And we're going to talk about the redemption
1:53
aspect of what God does in our life through the Lord Jesus. Amen.
1:57
Good morning man, while I see you, good and God bless you.
2:00
Welcome back to the Morning Devo. Today's Friday. Every Friday, it's Authentic
2:05
Imitationology. This is episode number sixty eight. Yeah, man, we're on
2:10
the grind with this. And God is so faithful, He's so good.
2:14
Amen. So like I said, I can't take any credit, but what
2:17
I can do is my part. I could do what's possible and God will
2:22
do the impossible. Amen. And he could do the same in your life.
2:24
The impossible things. Let's leave it to God. The possible things,
2:28
the things that we can do. Aleska, ahead and do it right.
2:31
We only have one life to live, but we have an eternity as a
2:36
reward for doing what God calls us to do. Amen. That's a great
2:39
exchange of time. Right. And while says I live in the Leehah Valley,
2:44
Amen, Amen, we're here in the Leehigh Valley extreaming live from the
2:50
west side of Bethlehem. Right. So we're here. So we're gonna be
2:54
in Isaiah, the Old Testament Isaiah chapter forty four, verse num twe we're
3:00
gonna read the prophet Isaiah chapter forty four, verse twenty two. Amen.
3:05
So this whole thing about cleansing yourself, cleaning yourself from sin, forgiving yourself
3:12
from sin of sin because of sin? Amen, does that really work out?
3:16
I know religious people try to do the ceremonious and the ceremonial cleansings and
3:23
all that stuff. We spoke about that last time. But listen, it
3:25
doesn't work man. If you want to have a clean life and clean spirit,
3:31
clean soul, Amen, it's only one person that can do that for
3:37
us. And through us because he loves us. It's the Lord Jesus.
3:42
No one or nothing can't even come close to the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus
3:47
what he did once for all eternity. And man, he's already done it.
3:52
He's already done it. So we need to continue to follow after and
3:57
authentically imitate the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen, and follow him doing his word.
4:01
Turn away from sin. That's right, we could do that. We
4:05
could run from sin. We could turn away from sin. If you're born
4:09
again, you can say no to sin, but you cannot cleanse yourself from
4:13
sin. That's something that happens when you get into a personal relationship with the
4:17
Lord and savor the Messiah, the Masik McGee. Amen, by way of
4:24
Hakkadesh. Amen, we need to get in him. He needs to get
4:28
in us, and we need to abide in him. He'll live in us
4:31
and we'll live with him, and then he does the work. Amen.
4:35
Once fall, Amen, we don't have to continue getting saved over and over
4:41
and over again. Right. So I'm gonna take the word clean and cleanse
4:46
and I'm gonna transfer it to redemption. Amen. And I'm gonna tell you
4:50
why. In a minute after we read Isaiah forty four to twenty two.
4:55
So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, are any prayer requests,
4:59
don't hesitate to even on a live chat. That's what it's here for.
5:00
Amen. And we're here for a little bit, Amen, just to
5:04
devote some time to God, man who deserves our time most, the Lord.
5:09
Amen. So if you put things in order, we have God first,
5:12
right, if you're married, maybe your spouse second right, and your
5:16
children and then ministry and everything flows like that. Amen. So I heard
5:20
it said the other day it's God first in us, then our spouse right,
5:25
because we have to we're loved by God. Then we have to learn
5:29
how to love ourselves and love our neighbors. And man, if we don't
5:32
love ourselves and love our neighbors, we're not following the part of the Greatest
5:35
Commandment that Jesus spoke about. Then we love our spouse, love our children,
5:41
family, ministry, everything flows from the top to the bottom when it's
5:45
in order. Get ready, man, you're going to be living an amazing
5:48
authentic life. Amen. Marabella Sientos figure, Oh oh God, bless you.

6:26
let's go for it. Let's pray first. After we pray with share this
6:29
out for like sixty seconds. Help me share this out to break this whole
6:33
shadow band and the whole algorithm that only allows people who know what I know
6:40
or agree with what I agree with. Amen. That's all it goes to,
6:43
is seemingly Amen, because I'm not paying for ads or I'm not paying
6:48
for boosting posts and all that stuff. But you can help me out in
6:51
that and it's been working so far. Amen. People have been getting this
6:56
message because of somebody sharing this message. Somebody sharing this and it's been ministering
7:00
to people outside of the algorithm. So thank you so much for sharing.

but the most important, let's connect by way of the Word of God.
7:25
So, Father, I thank you that your word is true, your word
7:28
is living a live sharper than any double ed sort. That you saved us,
7:31
that you redeemed us, that you cleansed us from all on righteousness.
7:35
We can't take credit for that, we can't boast about it. But what
7:39
we will boast, and I will boast, is in Jesus, the fact
7:42
that the Lord took his time to look my way and look my direction and
7:46
save me and transform me, renew me, and redeem me. Amen,
7:50
and forgiving me eternal life. I pray that over every single person right now
7:55
that's listening or watching right now or listen or watch later. Amen, on
7:59
the other side of this mic, on other side of the screen, touch
8:01
them, Lord God by way of your Holy Spirit, and let them see
8:05
the Kingdom of God. Let them know that you are with them in them,
8:07
working through them, and you have purposed a plan for them to live
8:11
an abundant life on this side of eternity. Thank you so much for favor
8:16
that you gave my wife on her situation where she got good news. Amen.
8:20
I pray over my sister where she's going through a rough time in life
8:24
with her husband and her family. I pray peace be still over my entire
8:28
family, from the very youngest to the very oldest and everyone in between.
8:31
And peace be still over every single family on the other side of the screen,
8:37
on the other side of this mic. And a powerful name of Jesus.
8:39
Thank you, Lord God, that you are the true cleanser of our
8:43
soul, and you are the true redeemer. And I give you glory,
8:46
honor, worship, and praise and a powerful name of Jesus. I prayed
8:50
this by faith, and those who agreed we say, Amen and Amen,
8:54
let it be so, so be it in Jesus name. Amen. So
8:58
let's sake sixty seconds to share this out. When we come back on the
9:01
other side of those sixty seconds, will be reading Isaiah chapter forty four,
9:05
verse number twenty two. I'll be right back. Amen. Amen, We're
10:26
back. Thank you so much. Listen on the screen if you're watching.
10:30
There's a website that if you visit, Amen, you will get a good
10:33
explanation or a good detailed list of things that we're trying to do here in
10:41
the ministry and if you would like to help us financially. First of all,
10:45
I cover your prayers. I want your prayers, Amen, for me,
10:48
the ministry, the family. Amen. The prayers are important to me.
10:52
Amen, That's first and foremost. But if you go to the website
10:56
so winners with a z dot org fowish slash donate, Amen, you'll see
11:01
what you're donating into or what you're supporting. Amen. And if it puts
11:05
if God places this in your heart to be a ministry that you value,
11:09
Amen, help us out financially, and I'll explain to you on the other
11:13
end of that support. You'll get an email and you'll get some other things
11:18
after that outside of the maintex off this platform. Amen, you'll get something
11:22
through right in your inbox about why your support matters. Amen. We're in
11:28
a time that we need each other. Amen. I was thinking about this
11:30
other day. If we supported each other right the way the scripture says and
11:35
the way we see the example of the Book of Acts. None of us
11:37
will be in need telling you, man, this will be revolutionary. But
11:41
we already have the blueprint of how the first century church was doing. So
11:46
I don't know what's going on with these super apostles, so called super apostles,
11:50
superpastors, megachurches and everything. Are they idolizing a building and an annoying
11:56
thing? Are they idolizing those things? Are they idolizing a building and creating
12:00
a God over the building, over a property, over some kind of you
12:05
know, you know, material thing like a jet or whatever. Are they
12:09
idolizing money or something? Because I hope and I pray that the people who
12:13
are in their community and the people that's in the community outside of those buildings
12:18
that are so nice, amen, are taking care of as well. Because
12:22
we give back to the community, Amen. And they're gonna want to find
12:24
out how we First of all, they want to find out how we give
12:28
into all the community. And they want to find out what's in our heart
12:31
that we're giving to complete strangers just because we can. That's what I'm saying.
12:35
So let's support one another, Amen, and let's see God in the
12:39
midst of that support, and we can give a glory on the worship and
12:43
praise for all of it, all of it. He deserves all the glory
12:46
on the worship and praise anyway. Amen, So let's give it to him.
12:48
He deserves it. Right. Let's go forward. Let's see what God
12:52
has for us today through the prophet Isaiah. Amen. Isaiah has the sauce
12:56
all the time they have to tease to the hilt. He has Isaiah fifty
13:01
three, right, and we have the fasting, and I think is Isaiah
13:05
fifty eight around there? Amen. So in Isaiah you'll see a lot of
13:09
prophetic things that happened through the prophet that God used Isaiah to prophesied to the
13:15
nations. And his prophecies are still lasting, Amen, and still relevant to
13:20
us today. It's an amazing way when God uses you. Amen. Get
13:26
ready, it's gonna be for the nations. It's gonna be for the generations.
13:28
Amen. It's not only gonna be for your time. It's gonna be
13:31
for times to go beyond your lifespan, right, and be around my lifespan
13:37
as well. So the joy us good morning, God bless you, blesten
13:39
to you and Jesus name as well. Amen, God bless you. It's
13:43
good to see you on the morning devo. So authentic imitationlogy. Let's put
13:46
this on the screen for those who are just listening. You already know you're
13:50
not gonna miss out on anything. I'm gonna read it word for word.
13:54
But every Friday we get into imitationology mode, authentic imitationlogy every Friday. Hey
14:00
man, So let's go for what we have today. I'm calling this one
14:03
clean and holy, but I'm really talking about the true redemption of the Lord
14:07
Jesus, How he redeemed us, how we took us from the dark into
14:11
his marvelous light, How we were bankrupt and he filled us with his riches
14:16
by way of Holy Spirit God. And what Jesus did once and for all
14:20
is available to every single one of the people right now. The Bible says,
14:24
whosoever calls all the name of the Lord shall be what shall be saved
14:31
a man and cleansed from all unrighteousness and all wickedness. And then we had
14:35
the power to say no to sin. Clean and holy. I'm calling this
14:39
one because we are what God says we are. Isaiah forty four, Verse
14:45
number twenty two. I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud, and
14:50
your sins like mist. That's how God. When God shows up, things
14:56
happen. He's blotting out your transgressions no more like a cloud, your sins
15:01
like a miss has no power. No more. Return to me, for
15:05
I have redeemed you. That's saved the Lord right. Return to God.
15:11
Why because he's redeemed you. Have you ever messed up big time and try
15:16
to redeem yourself? Have you ever messed up big time and try to clean
15:20
yourself from that mess up? Well, now you know that you can't do
15:26
it on your own, but someone has done it for you. His name
15:30
is the Lord God, Almighty, wonderful counsel, the Prince of Peace,
15:33
Almighty God, Holy Spirit, cleaning and making you holy. So we're clean
15:39
and we're holy. Amen. That's exciting. I'm cleaning up, Holy?
15:45
Yes I am. Are you a holy roller? Are you always in those
15:48
scriptures you always read about? Yeah? I always do? Ay man?
15:52
Is that an insult? Or is in a compliment? I'm cleaning holy?
15:54
So are you? If you're a brother and sister and the Lord, so
15:56
are you. If you're born again, so are you? If you just
16:00
receive the Lord Jesus Christ. A minute ago, ten minutes ago, a
16:03
day ago, a week ago. Amen, You're clean and holy. You
16:07
are who God calls you to be. You are what God says you are.
16:11
Amen. The world they could define or try to redefine all they want.
16:15
Amen. But at the end of the line, God has a final
16:19
say. And God knows what he's doing. He's been doing what he's been
16:22
doing all through the time that he's been doing it, right, Amen,
16:26
And where is my camera? Here? There we go, Amen, I
16:33
almost lost my camera since the joy and I see you. Good morning,
16:36
God, bless you, Welcome back to the morning Devo. It's good to
16:37
see you, my sister and my friend. Amen. So let me get
16:42
this going on the sun. Take this out of here, amen, and
16:47
let's go for it. So the question is, have you ever messed up?
16:52
Right? Everybody should be raising their hands or say yeah, you know,
16:55
we mess up. Now, let's not get into this routine that I'm
16:59
hearing that you have to mess up, we have to sin, we have
17:02
you know, we all fall short. Yes, the scripture says, we
17:04
all fall short of the glorious standards of who of me or you know of
17:11
God. Of course we will never measure up to the most High God.
17:15
Amen. But what we can do is allow God, by way of his
17:18
Holy Spirit, to keep us in a position of being seated in heavily places.
17:25
Positionally we are spotless clean. Positionally, we are without sin. Positionally,
17:30
we're not sinners positionally right experience. I learned this from Pastor Dave Jones.
17:37
Amen. We had this meeting for his upcoming podcast That's Coming. Amen.
17:41
And I always always put that in the comment in the mix when I
17:45
hear somebody saying, you know, we're all sinners, always challenge that,
17:48
say how how we all sinners before Christ or after Christ? And you said,
17:52
yeah, Positionally, we don't win our sinners because God saved our soul,
17:57
Amen, in our spirit and things renewed, change, redeemed. But
18:02
experientially, because we live in a broken, fallen world and we're dealing with
18:06
this thing called the flesh, we do falter, we do sin, but
18:10
we're not what we do right. That's why I asked earlier, have you
18:15
cleansed yourself? Amen? Have you redeemed yourself? Because if you have done
18:19
that, then we won't need a savior. And if you could do that,
18:23
we won't need the one who could cleanse us from all on righteousness and
18:26
all wickedness. But obviously we can't do it like that. We're not the
18:33
ones that are cleaning our own self from sin and on righteousness. We needed
18:38
a redeemer, Amen. Since Genesis shot to three, we needed a redeemer.
18:42
Actually, since the beginning of time. God already knew what was going
18:47
to happen. We needed a redeemer and that was already set in motion.
18:52
Right, So can I redeem myself? Can you set yourself free and clean
19:00
yourself and make yourself holy? Well, some people are trying to do that
19:04
to this very day. They're religious people that are trying to do some kind
19:08
of ceremonial cleansings and all this other stuff, and they're realizing, Hey,
19:12
this doesn't work. I'm still doing this and I'm still struggling with this,
19:15
and I'm still in the same position I was a year ago, five years
19:19
ago, ten years ago, because I'm neither acknowledging or I'm not approaching a
19:23
holy, righteous, loving God, and I'm not asking Jesus, I'm not
19:27
asking them aside, I'm not acting the Savior to come and cleanse me and
19:32
make me who calls me to be I'm not asking for forgiveness. So you
19:36
might be in a spot like, Man, I'm doing all these things,
19:40
and I'm doing good deeds and I'm helping other people. Why me myself,
19:44
I'm not breaking free from XYZ. Whatever that XYZ is in your life.
19:48
It could be that you're in a religious system and you're doing ceremonial things and
19:53
traditional things that have no effect. It makes the word of God of no
20:00
of no effect because you're following traditional things that your forefathers and your ancestors and
20:07
all these people have done through the centuries, and it's not working. Let's
20:11
go to the Redeemer himself. So I know when it comes to messing up,
20:17
I know I have messed up. Maybe you have messed up, amen,
20:19
if you're willing to admit it. But when I've messed up with my
20:23
spouse or my child, or at work or whatever situation, I try to
20:29
be the first to apologize. Right. You start getting this feeling like I
20:33
got to make this right with my brother, my sister, my spouse,
20:37
my child. Amen, my coworkers, my employees, my employers. You
20:42
have to make things right, right with your leadership or whatever the case.
20:48
Let's be the first to realize that we have to make things right because we
20:52
know we can't clean ourselves, we can't make ourselves holy, but we have
20:56
the God who is in us doing the work. So try to be the
21:02
first apologize, make it up a man somehow. If you mess up at
21:07
work, you know, try to compensate, Like if you're court being lazy,
21:14
or you took five or ten more minutes off of the break that's only
21:18
like supposed to be a certain time and you took ten minutes extra when you
21:22
get back to work, compensate work ten times harder a man. Admit that
21:27
you made a mistake, Admit that you were stealing time. I mean,
21:30
honesty is a powerful, powerful move of God in our lives. To be
21:36
honest in a world that's so dishonest, to be clear minded in the world
21:41
that's drunk and high a man, to be sober minded. So feel like
21:47
you got to step up your game and feel like you know that we have
21:49
a redeemer a man. Our good works can never outweigh the sind that you
21:57
can't get out of a sin that just by doing good works. Aymen,
22:03
works with our faith is dead. Faith for our works is dead. We
22:06
need the redeemer, the Messiah himself, to work out things through himself.
22:10
The prophet says that God right blotted out our transgressions like a cloud, and
22:17
our sins like miss We need to do what repent? Return to God because
22:22
why he redeemed us. Ay, man, if you're already saved and you're
22:26
doing things outside of your saved soul, right, and you're doing things of
22:32
the world, stop turn back to God because he already redeemed you. The
22:37
enemy will have you think, oh, you forfeit of your redemption, you're
22:41
no longer saved. You did this, that and the third. Are you
22:44
really a Christ follower now? And he's gonna throw everything at you, all
22:47
these lies. But if you know the truth, and you know who redeemed
22:49
you once and for all, if you know who made you clean and holy,
22:53
all you have to do, literally is stop what you're doing. Turn
22:57
back to the one who is clean, who cleaned you. Turn back to
23:00
the one who is holy, who made you holy. Turn back to the
23:03
one who is righteous, who made you righteous. Amen, and watch that
23:07
and me, you know the word of God is clear. Submit to God,
23:12
resist the devil. And what's the devil gonna do? He's gonna flee.
23:15
So we're stopping, We're turning back to God, and the Devil's like,
23:18
oh, I'm out. I'm out of here. I can't get this
23:22
person the more so I'm out of here. And he'll run if my people
23:26
who are called by my name will humble themselves and seek my face and turn.
23:32
Yes, that is a scripture. I think that's second Chronicle seven fourteen
23:34
around there, right. We say that scripture a lot. Well, we
23:38
say it over our nation a lot. And the issue I have with saying
23:42
that scripture over the day, I'm not saying that you do this man,
23:45
Well, I'm just thinking out lovely time I receive that scripture, an unrepentant
23:49
nation is trying to ask God to cleanse the land and to forgive the land.
23:59
A man forgive people. I think first repentance needs to happen. Stop.
24:03
But I just said stop and turn back to the Lord. Amen,
24:07
and watch how God works all things out for the good of those who love
24:11
him, and I'll call according to his purpose. So when I sin,
24:17
sometimes I do. I sometimes feel like I need to step up my game
24:22
and do some good works to outweigh the sin. And that's not the way
24:25
it is. We need to know who we are in Christ and know what
24:30
happened to sin when Jesus went to that cross, what happened to sin.
24:36
Sin has no more power over us. We are now alive. And this
24:41
is after amen. You go to Jesus, go to the Lord, your
24:45
shoe or how much she had, go to him and ask them to forgive
24:48
you for sinning against him. Once that happens and you're forgiven, and God
24:53
sends this holy spirit to live in you, You're get to have noticed that
24:56
those things that were overcoming you time and time again, we can no longer
25:00
overcome you. This is how it works when you confess, when you go
25:07
to God. Always seek to be obedient to the Lord. Do good works
25:14
rather than bad works, of course, and yes, always repent and do
25:18
a one eighty, not a three sixty, because if you do a three
25:19
sixty, you're going back to the same way you start it. But a
25:22
one eighty you completely turn it. Make up in your mind about what you're
25:29
gonna do with this penalty. The penalty for my sin isn't community service.
25:33
It's not all I'm gonna get, you know, punished for this. No,
25:37
the penalty for the sin is death. From Moman six twenty three.
25:41
We could see that in the scriptures, next to puire holiness of God,
25:45
all of my good deeds are like filthy rags. Remember that next to a
25:49
holy God, all of our good deeds I like filthy rags. Isaiah sixty
25:53
four, first number six. I am unclean and I can't get the stains
26:00
out. I can't redeem myself. Amen. That's why you should read the
26:03
scriptures for yourself and know Isaiah forty chapter forty four. Read the whole scriptures.
26:08
Amen, And you could take Isaiah sixty four. Read the whole chapter.
26:11
There can't redeem myself. I need a redeemer. I can't be clean
26:15
and holy. I need the one who is cleaning holy doing that work in
26:18
my life. I need someone else to pay the price for my sin,
26:22
someone pure and clean and holy, someone like Jesus. And we need to
26:27
be authentic imitators of this Lord and this Savior. Amen. Good morning,
26:33
doctor Felix, clone God bless you. Is good to see you when I'm
26:36
out of time. Amen. I make sure we keep these short and sweet
26:41
snapshots of the scriptures. Amen. A devotional Amen. Amen, So God
26:47
bless you all. I hope you have a great weekend the rest of the
26:49
week. God bless you all. God keep you all, and remember always
26:53
that God is good. Peace,
