• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning God bless you. Welcome back
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo with your brother, DJ Sam Rock
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Sam Lopez, and we're here at so Wins with a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: z Org Celeradio Network, the Lehigh Valley's number one urban
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: gospel music station online since two thousand and eight. And
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we're back in the building in the studio. Amen, So
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: let's go forward today. I have a lot of scriptures
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to cover, Amen, but not really a man going to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: concentrate on the one, but there's a lot of scriptures
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that connect to it. Because we're going to talk about
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the roadmap to Heaven. A lot of people are out
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: there worrying. They're concerned about what's happening with our government,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: what's happening in our world, what's happening in society. Amen,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And it's causing people to worry, and they're forgetting or
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they're not centralizing their thoughts on the roadmap, a roadmap
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that we have in the scriptures that will get us
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to a place called Heaven. Amen. But we need to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: get on the road. To get on to figure out
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the roadmap, or to use a roadmap, you have to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: be on the road traveling towards Heaven. Amen. To be
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in that place of victory. So let me see. I'm
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just making sure my volume is good. So let me
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: read you what I wrote here. The Bible outlines a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: clear path, not an unclear path, but a clear path
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to eternal life with God in heaven. We cannot enter
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: heaven based on our good works alone. If it was
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: about all, if it was all about our good works, Amen,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: none of us would make it in because how much
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: good do you have to do to get access to heaven?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Think about it, how much good would I have to do, amen,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to gain favor with God? How much good would you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: have to do to get favor with God? I mean,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: does anybody have a like a scale or list or
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: anything like that? If I do xyz, then I'm sure
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'll make it in. Or does the Bible plan out
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: or does the Bible have a roadmap to heaven? Which
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: one is it? Amen? And we're going to show that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: through the scripture today. If you pay attention, you'll listen,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you'll learn, you'll apply Amen, and you'll be assured that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: heaven is your destiny. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: pray requests, or anything along those lines, please don't hesitate
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: here for, amen. We're here to just connect, stay together,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: stay connected. Amen. And of course the most important thing
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is to get into the Word of God for yourself,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: so that way you know that you're on the right
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: path and that you can really follow this roadmap to heaven.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So let's pray first. After we pray, we'll share this
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: out for like sixty seconds, whether you're live with us
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: or not. Amen, but they're watching the replay, hearing the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: podcast on the replay, make sure you share it with somebody. Amen.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Make sure you share this with somebody so that way
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you don't find yourself just consuming content, good Christian content,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: without sharing this Christian content with someone else. The scriptures,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the Gospel, this message is always designed to receive and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to share right. Give it out freely. We were given freely,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we give roadmap to heaven. So let's pray. Father, I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for what you're doing. Thank you, Lord, God,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that you're according to your word. If we submit to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you God and resist the devil, the devil will flee.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, lo God for this fleeing devil, that we
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: could move in our path and follow the roadmap to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: heaven and not worry about bumping into any demon, bumping
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: into any devil, bumping into any distractions, because we are
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on the roadmap to heaven. Although Lord God, we will
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be challenged and our faith will be challenged, and our
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: faith will be tested, we know that we pass the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: test with flying colors, flying scores, flying grades because we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: following after the One True, Holy, Righteous Lord and Savior Jesus.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lo God for designing this roadmap to heaven
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and that we are on the righteous path. I pray
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for every single person I had your protection over myself,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: my family, my wife, our children, our grandchildren. Our pray,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Lord God, for every single person listening and watching right now,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and who would listen and watch later on. I pray
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Lord God, that you Lo God, will fill us with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: your spirit and we will continue to trust in your word,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: believe in your word, apply your word, and move forward
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in victory, knowing that you are able to do accordingly,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to do the things that your word says your word
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: would do in our lives. I pray it's by faith
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and experience, knowing Lo God, that you're the healer and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that you're that you are a savior. You're our protector,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you are a guider, You our financial breakthrough, you our hope,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you are faith. You are all those things to us
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and to me, because we believe trust and hope and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a true, living, loving God. And you already proved yourself
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a man so many years ago. Yet you still save,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You still heal. Your spirit convicts and convinces of who
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you are, according to your power, according to your glory,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: your word, your love, your grace, and your mercy. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I speak life concerning all things living, and I speak
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: death to those things that are trying to take us
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: out of here. In the powerful name of Jesus. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: praise it by faith, and those who agree, we say
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Amen to the Amen. So let's go for it. Help
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: me shut us out. When we come back, we'll get
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: right into it. Amen. The first scripture that I have
• 5:48

• 7:55
  Speaker 1: what the word of God has for us. Let's get
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on this roadmap to heaven. Amen. Eventually, one day, we
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: don't know when, but me and you we're gonna be
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: finding ourselves on the other side of eternity in a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: good place, hopefully. Right if you follow this roadmap to heaven.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: If you're not on the road that leads to heaven, amen,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: come on, follow us on this road to heaven. It's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a narrow path. Yes, you're not gonna worry about your left.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: You're right. You don't want to go forward. Amen. If
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you fall and stumble, maybe even hurt yourself, get up
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: from right there. You don't go back to start, You
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't go This is not a video game and you lose,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and then you got to start from the beginning again.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: This is real life, and we have a real guy
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: who leads us in his real life. Amen, Brother Frank,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I see you, good morning. God, bless you in your
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: family as well. Man, bless you missed you yesterday. Amen
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: at the men's group. So let's go for it. Roadmap
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to Heaven. Let me get this ready on the screen
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: for those. Amen. I love audio. Why there's something about
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: live video that I could show images on the screen
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of those who are watching. I learn kind of better listening,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but some people actually learn better with visuals. Amen. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do both things a man, So bear
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: with me, amen as I try that. So let's go
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: for roadmap to Heaven, and bam, here it goes, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I put. Of course, there's an image of a road,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and it's wide at the beginning from our viewpoint, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: then you notice that as it goes further, it gets narrow,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And I believe that's how it is. We got off
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the broadway that led us to destruction, that was leading
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: us to destruction, and now we're on the righteous path,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: which is a narrow that leads to heaven, and it
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: gets us to a place of victory. Amen. It's a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: good place. It's a good place to be, good place
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to be on this road. Number one, First of all,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: recognize your need for salvation. People don't even know what
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: salvation and I'm not saying that like taking jabs and nobody.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Can you allow me to help explain what salvation is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and what you're saved from? What do we say from
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: as Christians. First of all, let me read Romans three
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: twenty three. For all have sinned? How many people? All?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: All have sinned? You see that word sinned, s I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: n n ed. We already have done it and come
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: short of the glory of God, not the glory of man,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not the glory of sin, not the glory of a church,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: not the glory of a religion. For all have sinned
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and come short of the glory of God. So we
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can never match up to God. Amen. We can never
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: reach God. God reached us. We didn't find God. God
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: found us. We were lost. God was never lost. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: we need to recognize first that we've sinned and we've
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: come short of the glory of God. So God did
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: something about it. He came to us right. Every person
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: has sinned, which sin separates us from God. There's only
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: one thing I could see in the scriptures that separates
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: us from God, and that's sin. Sin is the separator,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: one way, the elevator down to the fire pit, eternal exterminator.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Every person has sinned, which separates us from God. We
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: cannot enter heaven based on our good works. I wrote
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that down in the details because I know a lot
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of people say, well, I'm a good person, Are you really?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Are you really? So? What do we say from Christians
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: always talking about salvation? Right, what is a person say
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: from what's in it for them? What was saved from
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the wrath of God? We're saved from this sinful nature,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: like we have a sin nature called the flesh, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the flesh if you allow it to do what it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: wants to do, it will take you off the road
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to heaven, Amen, and get you on a different road.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And that road won't be a road that you could
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: want to be on I don't want to be on
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the other road either. Amen. So we practice what we preach.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: We follow the Word, because the Word is alive, the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Word is living, the Word is the Lord. Amen, Jesus,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Sister Joyne, I see you, good morning, God bless you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So let's go through this real quick. Nothing else to
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: put on the screen. I just want you to know
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that we're all in this together. According to the scriptures,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: we all have sinned, all in short of the glory
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of God, not the glory of man, not the glory
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: of religion, the glory of God. So recognize you need
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: for salvation. We're saved from the wrath of God. We're saved.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, we're not going to Hell. We're not going
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: on that road. We're not going to find ourselves there.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: But listen to this. If you don't want God now
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: on this side of eternity, you're not gonna want God
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: forever on the other side of eternity. So it's a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: decision that people have to make. You have to make
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a decision. I have to make a decision daily. So
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: am I going to follow or not? Am I gonna
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: believe or not? Do I trust in Jesus or not? Right?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: This is a grown up decision. We make grown up
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: decisions daily. Amen. God is real regardless of how I feel. Right.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: The roadmap to Heaven is still there, regardless if I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: want to be on it, stay on it, get off
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of it, or not. Right. The destination for a believer
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: is the same for all of us, whether you think
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that you're hired in somebody, loading somebody, or right here
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: at the level. I really believe we're at a level. Amen.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But I believe our gifts and our annoying thing. Right.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: God pours it out and he gives us a measure
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of faith the gifts and talent, so he wants to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: use every single individual differently, because God is that big
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that he could use you, he can use me. He
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: could use your brother, your sister, he could use your aunt,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: your uncle, he could use anyone he wants to use
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: for the glory of God. So I don't think there's
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: any hierarchy in the kingdom a man when it comes
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to serving Jesus here on this side of eternity, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: think we have a chance. We all have a part
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to play. We all are connected to the body of Christ.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So Number one, recognize you need for salvation. Number two,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: can you understand the consequences of sin. There's a consequence
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: for sinning. I know sin is pleasurable for a season,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: because that's what the word says. But listen to this
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Romans sixt' twenty three, and I'm taking you on a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: road right. This is Romance to Heaven six twenty three
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in Romans for the wages of sin is death, but
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the gift of God is eternal life. Sin leads to death.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: God leads to eternal life in Christ Jesus, through Christ,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Jesus our Lord. So sin leads to spiritual death, a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: spiritual death, a dead spirit. When you see somebody maybe
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in church, in the community of believers, and they're like, like,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they don't have any emotion, They just like just looking
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: around at everybody. It could be because their spirit is dead.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know people's hearts like that,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: but it could be that they're in spiritual death right
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: then and there sin leads the spiritual death separation from God.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But eternal life is a free gift from God, free gift.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Nothing you could do to buy, nothing you could do
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to earn it. God gave us this gift for free.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He meant and he's the only one that was able
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to do it. Number three, believe in Jesus Christ. It
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: might you might be like, yeah, I believe. So does
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the devil, and so does the demons. They believe in
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Jesus as well. But here's the difference. According to the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: word John fourteen and six, Jesus said like this, Jesus
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: said himself, I am the Way John fourteen six. If
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you don't believe me, Jesus said, I am the Way,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the truth, and the life, not the lights. He's the lightest. Well,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: but here he says he's the life. No man, no
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: woman can come to God, to the Father, but through him,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: by him. A lot of people are trying to jump
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: over Jesus to get to the Father. A lot of
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: people are trying to ask Jesus out of their life
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and just go directly to the Father. Not possible, according
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to what Jesus said, according with to the scripture says,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: according to what the prophets say, not going to happen.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Salvation comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Men,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: not through Buddha, not through Allah, not through Confucius, not
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: through Aristotle, not through Socrates, not through Joseph Smith, not
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: through the rustle guy. None of that salvation only comes
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: through the Lord Jesus Christ. That's number three. Believe in
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. So we have recognized your need for salvation,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and that's our focus for today, right as a morning
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: devotion in Romans chapter three, twenty three, just recognize that
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: number two. Understand the consequences of sin. Sin leads to death. Amen,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Not all sins lead to death. But on that road
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of sin, if you stay on it long enough, it
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: will lead you to death, and you'll find yourself and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a crash course to a place that's far from heaven.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Believe in Jesus Christ and number four, repent of your sins.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Listen that word repent. We use that, I think a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: little bit. I use me. I use a little too loosely,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and I forget that people don't know what the word
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: repent means. Is that Christian needs to a lot of people.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Is a religious word to a lot of people. Repent
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: means stop from what you're doing right then and there
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in your tracks and you know that you're going in
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the wrong direction. You can feel it, and turn to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the One, righteous one and the righteous path. Repent of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: your sins, Acts Chapter three, verse nineteen. Repent ye therefore,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and be converted, be transformed, that your sins may be
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: blotted out. There's a way that you could blot out sin.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: We can't do it, but God will do it. He
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: will blot your sins out. Repentance means turning away from
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: sin and turning toward God. If you're on a road,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you know for sure that if you're on a highway,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you're driving one way. Amen. I don't suggest you stop
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and turn and go the other way on that same road. No,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you got to exit, right, exit, And sometimes you have
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to stop and say where am I going? I'm lost?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Exit and then find the GPS map or map or something,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: ask somebody for help. Hey, how do you get to
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: this place? Well, Jesus is the person that will get
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you to the right place. But you have to stop, repent,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: turn from your sin, and turn towards God. So you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: might have to get on the other side of the road.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're traveling north and you're supposed to be traveling south.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're traveling east and you're supposed to be going west.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: You have to know where you're going. Amen. And when
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you're on the Bible, when you're working and applying the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Word of God in your life. Amen, you're on a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: road and that road is leading you to Heaven. Amen's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: leading you somewhere. You're going somewhere, And you could be
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: stubborn like me when I get lost and my wife said,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: won't you just ask somebody for help? I'm like, no,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I got this, Amen, I don't suggest you do that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm getting better though. That's start asking people for help. Sometimes,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: even with the GPS, if you don't have signal, have
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you noticed If you don't have signal, you can lose
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: direction even on the GPS, So you have to stay
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: connected to the most powerful signal, which is the Lord.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: A man, stay connected to him. He will guide you.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Is the God's positioning system, and we could move forward
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with him. Number five, Confess and accept Jesus as Lord.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I think this is the most important decision you can
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: make or I can make. Thank you Jesus for your
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: grace and your mercy. Confess and accept Jesus as Lord.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Romans Chapter ten, verse nine says that if you confess
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, go ahead and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: do it. Nobody has to know. Confess that Jesus is Lord,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and believe in your heart that God raise Jesus the dead.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: You shall be saved. Faith in Jesus and a confession
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: faith and a confection of his lordship leads to salvation.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: When you're being led, you're on a path. Right, So
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: we're saved, being saved on this path and a road
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: map that we're following to get to heaven. But in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the meantime, while we're on that path, Amen, sometimes you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: have to do a detour. Right, I gotta get off here.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I got to talk to so and so. I gotta
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: get off here. I got to witness to my friend
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: over here. I got to get off here because somebody
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in my family is sick. I got to get over
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: here because my brother in Christ is sick. I got it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: So this detoys yes in life. We all know that,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: right Welcome to the real world. We're not in no
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: fantasy land. We're not in in Narnia or anything like that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: We are where we are, Amen, in real time, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: people are in need of help. We have a gospel message,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: we have the truth that Please share it with somebody.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Don't just hord this content. Don't just horrid your salvation.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just horrid. Excuse me the word of God a man.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Share the word because we were giving this word freely,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and now we have something to give somebody else that
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: can change their direction and change their path for all eternity.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine on the other side of this, we'll
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: see some people like, hey, how you doing, man, oh man,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: thank you so much, and you'd be like, for what man,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: you share something that changed my life. You share Jesus
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: with me, and look, we're here for eternity on the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: other side. And that's something that's going to be so
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: amazing when we see people in heaven with us, Amen,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that we probably helped get there. Amen. Because God does
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the saving, Holy Spirit does the leading. Amen, And it
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: all belongs to the Lord. But we have a part
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to play when you're on the road to heaven. We
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: have a road map, Amen. So follow somebody right now
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that you know is on that roadmap to heaven, that's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: on that road to heaven, Amen, and see what happens
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: in your life. Things will start changing for the good.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Number six, Receive the Holy Spirit. And this one is
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a little tricky for me because I'm like, once you're saved,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you have the Holy Spirit. But we could grieve the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Amen. How many people know that we could
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: grieve the Holy Spirit by going in a different direction
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: than with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, God living inside
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: of us tells us to go, and if we can't,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it's a noisy world. So if we don't shut up
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the voices, if we don't quiet the voices of everything else,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it would be hard for us. Depending on your relationship,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: but it would be hard for us to listen to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the voice, the still quiet voice of God, Amen, by
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: way of His Holy spirits. It's the choice. I see you,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: good morning, God, bless you. Welcome to the morning. Devo.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: My sister and my friend, so receive the Holy Spirit. Ephesians,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Chapter one, verse thirteen says after that, after you believed
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise, you
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: were sealed with God's spirit. That's why having you notice
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that when you go into certain areas a man, people
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: will look at you funny because they're filled with a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: different spirit. And without even you saying anything, they'll go
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and be like, there's something different about this person or
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that person. That's because the enemy sees the seal that's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: on us. I don't see the seal. You don't see
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the seal, but the enemy sees it with spiritual lenses.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: The enemy sees God in us and the seal of God,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and he hates that seal. Every time he sees God's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: creation moving according to God's purpose, he hates that a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: man and trust and believe that. He hates all of us.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: He hates the atheists, he hates the Satanists, he hates
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the Christian he hates the Mormon. He hates every one
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of God's creation. But if you're not a born again believer,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he could really get to you a man. But if
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you're born again, you're signed sealed and delivered. And if
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you submit to God, resist the devil. The devil got
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to run. We don't got to run. The devil runs
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: from us because we are filled with God's Holy Spirit.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit dwells in every one of his children. The
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit guides us towards holiness, and the Holy Spirit
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: strengthens our faith. We are not alone. We have a plan.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We're on the road and we have the road map
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to heaven. And this is last, but not least, a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: transformed life. I've been talking about this since the day
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I got saved. I'm changed, I'm new. I'm a new
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: creation in Christ, a transformed life. Second Corinthians, by seventeen.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hear this over and over again over here,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: because this is one of my life scriptures. This is
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: one of the scriptures that Jesus gave me, the Holy
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Spirit gave me to memory. Therefore, if any man be
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: in Christ, or any woman being Christ, he or she
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is a new creature. New old things are passed away. Behold,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: all things are become new. Salvation leads to a changed
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: life marked by obedience to God, love for others, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: spiritual growth. We're gonna grow one way or another. We're
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: gonna grow in Christ. And then after all of that,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: stay faithful and to the end, and then you're gonna
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: enter heaven Revelation twenty one four. And God shall wipe
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: away all the tears from their eyes, and there shall
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there be any more pain, for the former things are
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: passed away. We just read that Second Corinthings five seventeen.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Heaven is the ultimate reward for those who follow Christ's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: eternal joy, eternal joy in God's presence. So I hope
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: that's convincing for you to want to investigate and want
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to get into the claims of Jesus and want to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: follow this road map to heaven. Amen. I did my best.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I poured out whatever I had. Amen. Believe in Christ
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: because he has the map that leads to heaven. Amen,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: And that place is a place where we all should
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: want to be one day. If you don't want him now,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, you're not gonna want him for all eternity.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: So decide for yourself. I hope this blesses you, encourages
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you to move forward in victory. I want to just
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: send you off all with a blessing. God bless you all,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Please,
